Sinful Daughter (Dark Mafia Sins Book 1) by Emily Bowie – Review by Alexandria Richard

Sinful Daughter by Emily Bowie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is so much tension in this novel;  from who is threatening who, to who wants to get into bed with who, in more ways than one! Aria and Theo are the perfectly wrong people for each other: she’s the daughter of a mafia boss; he’s a cop out to punish those who thought they were above the law, especially the Rossi family. Of course that’s what makes the sexual tension between Aria and Theo palpable. They just can’t seem to stay away from one another, despite the prying eyes. And Aria’s privacy and passions are truly tested when she is forced into an arranged marriage for the sake of her family. In a crime family where nothing is as it seems, who can Aria trust, with her heart and with her secrets?

3.5 stars rounded up. I wanted to enjoy this novel so much more than I did. I enjoyed the premise and the sexual tension between Aria and Theo, as well as the push and pull between the Rossi’s and Mancini’s, and Theo and the Rossi’s, however I couldn’t immerse myself in the story completely. I felt like the story was drawn out and more drama added without giving a reason or a truly viable conclusion. I also personally didn’t like the writing style used. Maybe I can come back and reread in the future and enjoy the story and all the drama more, but for now I’m left feeling underwhelmed.
