This was hard to read at first because of the abuse that goes on. It's really not glamorizing abuse at all but showing what it does to people. It is pretty dark but it really sucked me in. It's not a love story. It’s like, you hate the ML but then start to kind of be ok with him only to hate him again. The author keeps you on your toes. The book is updated regularly too. This is the first one in my library I read when I see that update. This is a really good read. I look forward to the second book. Keep up the good work author 👏 👏

The best DARK ROMANCE book I read so far! The story is fast-paced .you will know within the first chapter. It feels cliche but it defo isn't. The Authors note is EVERYTHING I started to read because of it more than the synopsis, .As she doesn't promise a cliche story and putting up with abuse.. especially FL reflects the promise of the note(don't want to spoil much). Characters Alexis- She is intelligent and accepts the circumstances she is in and once recognizes the power she eventually learns to use it to her advantage some cool 'power plays' . Don't expect FL to forgive everything in a heartbeat and gives excuses for abuse and put up with it. Yes, there is attraction and she accepts and enjoys it as is pinned down with no way out anyways. You can see her thoughts are never of love and she isn't ok with his behaviour and bad blood between them. Our girl considers big bad mafioso as her 'plaything'!😏 Angelo- First 3 chapters his intention is clear. He is a mafia head he is not one who changes overnight and is all soft with FL nor are his methods to win her. There is more realistic character development with both characters. The story is focused more on the main leads and their journey in a relationship and how they are adapting. There are other characters, not much is shared about them apart from necessary info for building on main characters. Maybe because this is a short novel but the main characters make up for it but hopefully the sequel will cover it! Writing style -It's very engaging and dynamic also the story isn't stretched. As promised it has surprising elements from both characters and their past. Keeps you intrigued by a secret only some characters know. Some dark tactics you totally don't expect from both leads..you won't know what hit you like yellow fellow 👇 Author Inara - I appreciate that she can be sporty and take critical feedback and she addresses the reader's comments and complaints. Also open to readers' opinions and suggestions isn't as pushy with rank/votes but it should totally have a much higher rank! ♥️ I completely enjoyed it, definitely recommend it! Totally worth every coin spent

The Villain's Wife

-COMPLETED- WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left. Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes. She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon. Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty. With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit? "You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?" --- Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness. So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man. Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin? Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous! The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away? This woman was a liar! He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.” Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard. --- "So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.  The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?" Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!" "Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.  "What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened. .... Cover is mine. There is no RAPE or MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDINGS. WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Discord: https://discord.gg/Jw2Yjfr Instagram: @blips01 Editor: Swaning, Ocelot
