Blurb:

He was my boss.

Rich, ambitious, dominating.

I was a waitress, struggling to pay the fees for ballet school.

Poor, talented, desperate.

He needed to marry to appease his dying father, to inherit the family empire.

It wasn’t supposed to be real, or forever.

Until he changed the rules.

What Mafia king Luca Leto wants, he gets, and he’s crowned his queen.

Me.

I’m under his rule now.

And his reign is cruel and toxic.

They call him the dark king and to gain my freedom I’m going to have to become a dark queen.

  Dark Queen by Ker Dukey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dark Romance lovers will enjoy Dark Queen, this intriguing story about a penniless ballerina and her mafioso boss.

Danger and lust rule this mysterious story that I read in one setting.

“You’re playing with fire, little girl. Do you know how easy it would be for me to just make you go away?”

Alyssa shows a determination made of steel, never backing off and fighting her battles with brio.

“Are you making threats, little ballerina?”

Luca is your typical asshole, no, in fact scratch that, he incarnates the A-grade jerk when it comes to Alyssa. I loved that he stayed himslef all along, even when we realized why he was acting this way. “Luca Leto is king, and his rules are law."

Mrs Duke wrote a story where darkness lurks at every corner, which style I recognize. She gave us characters who never recoiled from violence. In that bloody atmosphere, they found each other.

"How can it end like this? I was a queen— his queen— and it will be his kingdom that kills me."

Their story, though lacked of depth, the love story being a slow burn I would have expected more development of the emotional involvement and love.
