Book review: DRAWN TO DARKNESS, by Michelle Heard


Mafia Kings #4

Dario & Eden

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Michelle Heard pumped up the sweetness in this book and dialed back a little of the violence of Mafia business. She gave us Dario La Rosa, opera and ballet enthusiast, a mafioso who is more a lover than a fighter 😝 

This story was as mesmerizing as her other stories, the sentimentality was high, she made me cry a couple of times, as Dario impressed me with his golden heart.


Eden was dirt poor while Dario was filthy rich, as Eden herself states. She works two jobs just to make rent, has a deadbeat mother who is a drag on her finances, and has a good neighbor who has taken care of her since she was little. If not for Tyrone, she would have gone hungry many times!


Dario found Eden when she took a break from her job as janitor in the ballet company for a little dance practice.  Eden waits for everyone to leave, and takes to the stage to dance her stress away.  He found her and was smitten to the point he kept looking for her, thinking she was one of the ballerinas. 


He was relentless in his search for his elusive ballerina, and once he found Eden, she was a little reluctant to be with him. But Dario is decided on this girl, he doesn’t care about economical or social differences, he wants HER. The story of how he wins her over is lovely, we get to see how Eden is, and we love her too. She’s kind, thoughtful, grateful to those who help her, stubbornly independent but reasonable. 


It’s a lovely love story with some Mafia excitement thrown in. I loved that Eden was so open in her feelings, which is why she enchanted Dario. When he got bossy, she would tell him he’s hot, when he gave her gifts, she would have a hissy fit, irresistible! He developed deep feelings quickly and took some fun ribbing from his Mafia besties. 


Entertaining and steamy, with some strong emotional moments, another great hit from Michelle Heard!

The best part about this book is that it’s a small town romance, and I love this trope.  Everyone knows everyone else’s business, gossip tra...
