The storyline is original and filled with drama, action, suspense, angst and steamy hot spice. The characters are complex and has amazing chemistry. This is a dark mafia romance and has some dark themes. \r\n\r\nChloe was a total baddy!!! I loved her stubbornness and determination. She was not a doormat and had a steel backbone. Roman was dark and broody. I loved his loyalty and possessiveness. Their chemistry and push and pull were addicting and wanted more of this couple. \r\n","date":"27th Oct 2023"},{"name":"Jen9731","rating":"5","title":"Roman and Chloe!","text":"Like it Rough is a steamy, OTT, age-gap, opposites-attract, Bratva, curvy girl gets her man romance.

What we thought was a hard, cruel man incapable of love turned out to be a man who had just never experienced love to be able to recognize it.

The only reason it's 4 stars instead 5 is because it would have been better with more about Roman and Chloe in the beginning. Yes it was mentioned throughout the book, but even just one chapter in the beginning dedicated to them meeting and what happened before they were married would have went a long way. I had to double to make sure that it is as indeed a standalone and not a part 2 in a series. It jumps immediately into after the wedding.\r\n\r\nI just feel like, even with it being classes as a novella, it needed that extra chapter in the beginning.
