BRINK OF DENIAL (SONS OF SINDICATO BOOK 2) by SONYA JESUS AND CAM JOHNS – Review by Alexandria Richard

Brink of Denial by Cam Johns
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m in love with the crime family world in this book. Also loved the enemy to lovers, second chance, and dark romance tropes.

I loved reading more about Mila and Dane, and seeing their tension filled journey back to each other. Sons of Sindicato may have whet our taste for this book, but Brink of Denial delivers in ways I didn’t know I needed. The sexual tension and chemistry between Mila and Dane is there from the beginning, however it’s a love-hate relationship. They have to overcome 11 years of tension to find their way back to each other as anything but a booty call. In the meantime they have to deal with the drama and rising tensions within the Sindicato, as well Mila’s former lover extorting her with a secretly recorded sex tape.

I enjoyed reading about a strong female lead. Mila has the guts to do things and to stand up for herself. She’s not the quintessential crime family princepessa to be coddled and protected. Sure she needs help here and there, but she tries to get it done on her own first. I also enjoyed the character growth of Dane; him starting out bitter and jaded, and willing to do harm to anyone who stood in his way, to accepting that he can still love Mila despite the past.

Trigger warning for description of rougher sex (non-BDSM), as well as fictional murder, gruesome assault, and crime associated with a mafia family.
