✱✱Book Review✱✱ Roman by Melanie Moreland

 

I rescued her because I had to. I fell in love with her because she gave me no choice.


Roman Costas
Powerful. Intensely private.
Cold. Dangerous.
When he unwittingly puts an innocent woman in danger, he does something he never planned.
Becomes involved.
He didn’t anticipate the feelings Effie Warner brought out in him.
He didn’t expect the woman he rescued to become his world.
All he knows is that he’ll burn down the city to keep her safe
No matter the consequences.

The suspenseful finale in Men of the Falls duet by New York Times Bestselling author Melanie Moreland

Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was hooked from the first introduction to this duet when Aldo stole my heart. As much as I doubted Roman's ability to grab hold as tightly as Aldo, he exceeded all my expectations. He's so serious, but Effie isn't intimidated by that seriousness at all. And he is everything I look for in a morally gray character. He's just that side of things, but he's determined to protect those he cares about. The camaraderie between Roman and Aldio is another great element in this duet, especially once Aldo figures out what's going on with Roman and starts to tease.
This duet is a little darker than what I've come to expect from Melanie Moreland, but it's as well written, as pull-you-in-and-hold-on-tight interesting, and as full of great characters that I always expect from this author. She never disappoints, which is why she's an auto-read for me, regardless of trope.


Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Now, take an already terrific story and put it in the hands of John Lane and Maxine Mitchell. These narrators are so good, and they prove that once again with this book. John Lane captures Roman's seriousness perfectly, and Maxine Mitchell brings out everything I imagined for Effie.
Whether you read or listen, Roman and the Men of the Falls duet are a must.
