A Lethal Game of Trust

Title: A Lethal Game of Trust
Author: Evelyne Sperring
Publisher: Evelyne Sperring Publishing

Rating: 5 *s

Description: Leonie
Dominic Belov.

To the world, he’s a ruthless mafia heir. To me, he was once everything.

The boy who looked under my bed for monsters, the teenager who taught me to fight and helped me study. The man I’d pictured marrying. My best friend.

But when I needed him most, he abandoned me, leaving me numb and hopeless.

So now, ten years later, when he wants to barge back into my life, he’s only a distraction I can’t afford. My only focus is making sure my father’s murderer isn’t released from prison. Legally.

Despite no longer being a part of the criminal world, both Dom and my need for vengeance are pulling me back in.

And I might just let them.

Dom
Leonie Castillo.

My sister’s best friend.

She’s infuriating. Intoxicating. Shackling.

And I was meant to be all her firsts. Her only.

But after her father’s murder, a rift formed between her and me. One we can’t repair.

I can never be more than her shadow, I’ll only hurt her. We can’t be together when she can never uncover the truth.

Because I’ve been lying to her since the night her dad died.


This book has the following tropes:
  • Best friend's brother
  • Friends to enemies to lovers
  • Dual POV
  • Murder mystery
  • He falls first
  • Revenge plot

My Review: The way I devoured this in one sitting! The storyline was beautiful, the steamy scenes were STEAMING!

Leonie is solely focused on avenging her father's death. Holding the man responsible for his actions. It's been ten years. She has changed. She isn't the innocent teenager she once was.

Then you have Dom. Whew! Dom is protective, possessive, caring, and loyal. But rough around the edges. Will he be able to let down his walls and tell the truth to Leonie?

I absolutely loved this story and enjoyed following Leonie and her mission to avenge her father's death. There were some twists I wasn't expecting and I loved that Sperring kept my attention. She kept me guessing and by the end I was ravaging this story!
