Dark and edgy with liberal amounts of spice Mila Kane's Unholy Vows was hard to put down!

There was a reason Renato "Ren" De Sanctis was the head of the Atlantic City Mafia. Shrewd and calculating with the ability to cut off his emotions he was a man to be feared and who took charge. Nursing student Charlotte "Charlie" Burke was devoted to her detriment as she took on the role of parent to her little sister. Always putting her needs on the back burner her perseverance and determination stood out as well as her courage. 

One of the things that quickly came to the forefront in Ren and Charlie's relationship was Ren's ability to see Charlie standing up to him not as defiance but as something positive, an attribute to be admired. Ren quickly honed in on who Charlie was at her core rather than what her actions were at their face value giving their interactions a complicated layer. A man in Ren's position could have easily torn Charlie down but instead he built her up even as he set up the parameters of their relationship. This author did a good job of putting some of the power in Ren and Charlie's relationship in Charlie's hands, making Charlie Ren's weakness even while she became his strength. There was never a doubt of this pair's attraction but real feelings changed the dynamic in this work to one that felt authentic.

This story moved quickly and was well plotted out. There was a nice suspense and danger element that will keep readers on edge even while wrapped up in Ren and Charlie's love story. The supporting cast added depth to this work.

Mila Kane comfortably explores the darker side of her portrayals even while finding ways to make them redeemable in her reader’s eyes. This author does well with inserting secondary storylines into her works that merge effortlessly without taking over her main story. Mila Kane's Unholy Vows was a fast paced and gritty story that will hold readers attention to the last page!
