I was sold to my enemies.
You would think that being forced into a loveless marriage to ensure an alliance would be unheard of in this day and age. And in most cases, you would be correct in that assumption.
But not for me.
A cartel princess has no vote on who she can or cannot marry—much less love.
Any decision in my life was forfeited just by being born into the most powerful Mexican cartel there is.
Still, it does sting that I’m to be hand-delivered to the Irish mob and marry into the Kelly family, who my own brother has coined to be nothing more than bloodthirsty savages.
They’re animals, Rosa. Filthy, unscrupulous, vicious animals.
Those were his exact words, yet he still followed our father’s orders to walk me down the aisle, making sure I didn’t run from my obligation.
As if that was even an option.
All my choices were stolen away from me the minute I became another pawn to be used and abused at the hands of evil men.
Which leaves me to question…
Can a rose blossom in the dark?
Or will I have to rely on my thorns to protect me against the fate that’s been bestowed upon me?
Only time will tell if I’ll survive this cursed life or become another lost soul in these cruel and merciless Mafia Wars.
*Binding Rose is a full-length reverse harem novel in the dark and twisted Mafia Wars world.
*Recommended 18+ due to mature language, adult situations and sensitive content.
Binding Rose isn’t the first book I’ve read by Ivy Fox, so I kind of knew what to expect: an amazing and addictive Romance story. Besides amazing and addictive, Binding Rose was also really interesting. This book is set in the Mafia Wars world, a world with 6 mafia families who promised their daughter to another mafia family to ensure peace. I really love the concept of this ‘book series’ and I’m so excited to read the other books in the Mafia Wars world.
Binding Rose is about Rosa, a member of the Mexican mafia, who needs to marry a member of the Irish mafia. As you may have read from the synopsis, Binding Rose is not a ‘regular’ Romance, it’s a Reverse Harem Romance. I’m a big fan of RH, so I really enjoyed reading about Rosa and her three men, Colin, Shay and Tiernan. I really liked getting to know all 4 characters, and reading in their POV. I think that the four of them are a perfect match for each other.
Binding Rose was another amazing read by Ivy Fox, and I’m so happy that I picked up this book. I really enjoyed reading this book, it was so fast paced and well written. One of my favourite parts of this book was the epilogue. I loved seeing them all happy together! I’m really looking forward to reading the other books in the Mafia Wars world, and I cannot wait to meet the other mafia families!
