Book Review: The Thug and His Doll by Bea Paige (Princetown Heirs Book 1)

 


    Lia had taken her husband's abuse, but when he turned towards her son she was done. She packed up her small sleeping son into the car with what she could carry and they just drove. They've been sleeping in that car and she's telling him they're on an adventure. What else can she really do? But their funds are running low and she's not sure what options she has. When her son needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night she does the only thing she can. She takes him into a bar where a man offers her a helping hand. No strings. But help always comes at a price...right?

    This book was on one of my smut groups and had an excerpt posted. I downloaded and started reading the book immediately, even if the rest of my TBR didn't like it. Zero regrets. Sweet and spicy with all the touch her and die as well as overprotectiveness that is swoon-worthy. There are triggers in this book as with most I read. Open door. Physical abuse. Mental abuse. This is your heads up if those aren't for you. 

    I loved all the characters in this book as well as the background buildup between Lucian's best friend and sister. All of the yes. They are in book two although I haven't read that book yet. Loved how this book ended on that front though. All of it was amazing. 

    I also love that the characters are realistic. No not the basically mob aspect. Lucian is 8 inches and thinks he's large large. The way I cackled at that. Finish one book where he's basically a lamp post then there's an 8 inch brag in this. Don't get me wrong. That is a great and fun size. It's also a realistic size that we've all taken without impaling ourselves. So props there. Then there is Lia. She has had a kid. She has stretch marks and isn't a perfect will-o-wisp. Love that as well. 

    All in all so well done and look forward to more from this author.
