Dance of Defiance by Jagger Cole

It took me a bit to decide what to write about DANCE OF DEFIANCE because Jagger teased us about both Roman and Val separately in prior books, but as is usually the case, his characters are worth waiting for when it becomes their turn to shine. I was up all night reading this early copy of the book to provide some insight for their readers contemplating it.

It’s gritty, steamy and unabashedly works to defy the rules of dark mafia romance with Roman and Val. No breathless ingenues rescued by men of unimagined power and control. Instead Roman and Val each chased by life’s demons and not exactly choosing how they’ll cope, but finding what could have been doomed ways to survive and then finding each other.
