A London Villain: Cristo Sinners World
L**E
A love story legends are made of
Frankie and Ada met when they are little more than children but the brutality of life had already shaped their destinies even at those young ages with both of them experiencing the brutal and violent loss of those they loved. Despite this Ada still had an air of innocence about her that drew Frankie in but he had no way to keep her safe from the evil that had already decided her future, one that didn’t include him.The cover was the first thing that drew me to this book and I’m so glad it did. What a fantastic angst ridden, dark mafia story Catherine Wiltcher gave us with A London Villain. It was almost like a dark version of Romeo and Juliet only Frankie and Ada, the star-crossed lovers here had their thoughts of revenge and wrecking retribution on all who had wronged them to give them the strength to survive the years of hell they found themselves in. My heart hurt for the pain and terror Ada must have lived with on a daily basis with not a single ally to offer her the slightest support.This wasn’t an easy book to read and might have triggers for some You will definitely be put through an emotional wringer. Yes, the death count and violence is high as Frankie fights for his girl and destroys anyone who dared to lay a hand on her but by the end of the book, it is more than clear that the love that Frankie and Ada share is the stuff that legends are made of.Now I’m hoping that this author gives Viper his own book. He deserves some happiness in his life

This is want a masterpiece looks like!!!
Now before I start this review I need to make it clear I absolutely stalked and begged this author for an ARC. Catherine I apologise but I am not sorry 🙈The book…whoa 5 stars is not enough for this book, if I could I would give it all the stars.The story is a second change romance mixed with a revenge plot, throw in Frankie’s possessiveness, his incredible love for Ada, a few plot twists and heartbreaking moments and you have a masterpiece!The writing as always is superb, this amazing author has a way with words that will make you ugly cry or laugh out loud (the bromance between Frankie and Viper…epic!). However, what makes me come back to her books and this one is no exception is the rawness of the emotions, the strong yet broken FMC, the MC that is not afraid to burn the world to get the girl. The dirty talk is top notch and of course plenty of 🥵 moments.I’ve read the book in one sitting, I just genuinely couldn’t put it down and up until the last page it was an absolute emotional rollercoaster.Have I mentioned we get to see Dante, Grayson and Aiden? No?!?! Well we do and it’s absolutely amazing dynamics.Do yourself a favour and pick up this book as soon as it drops! It’s incredible and you will love every single word.

Mafia romance arc reader
I enjoyed this novel.I have read all the other books in the series aswell. This is a stand-alone romance but characters appear that have been in Catherine’s previous books. Frankie and Ada’s story sucked me in from the very first page. The book spans a couple of decades so you see them both from when they were younger and as adults. They were made to part ways when they first met but didn’t forget each other and fought their way back to each other. It was great to see Dante and Grayson again. I would’ve loved abit more action from them in the rescues though. If you like strong mafia hero’s then give this a read. I read this in a couple of days. Catherine has delivered a good story again.

My favourite read of 2022 so far
After reading the prequel to this book I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next with Frankie and Ada. They had so many obstacles set in their path. Would they find a way to have their HEA?I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish with this book. It really pulls at the heartstrings. This couple go through so much.This story wasn’t for the faint hearted, but A London Villain was everything I was hoping for and more. I didn’t want this story to end!

5******Epic* *breathtaking* *Beautiful* *Phenomenal*There are seriously not enough stars for Catherine and her books! This is writing at its very best and once again she’s given us a masterclass ❤️ I really don’t know how you do it Catherine I really don’t, but you never fail to amaze me! This story is stunningly beautiful in every aspect, a second chance romance for Frankie and Ada 😭 oh how I’ve cried and had my heart broke for them, only for it to be put back together again ❤️..... Viper!! Cant wait for his story 🐍 and obviously I can’t hide the fact how happy I was to have the big, hulking Columbian make an appearance 👿 Dante will always be my icing on the cake with a big, fat cherry on top 🤣. ❤️❤️Catherine wiltcher take a bow because THAT was a masterpiece ❤️❤️

Amazing mafia romance book!
Unsurprisingly, I bloody loved it! (Also thank you so much Catherine for the Arc!!)A London Villain starts with a young Frankie, who has just witnessed the murder of his mafia family. It's on that same night that he gets a first glimpse at Ada, the daughter of his enemy.Fast forward seven years and a chance encounter has connected Ada and Frankie again. Ada is in a world of pain living with the O'Sullivan's. Frankie attempts to rescue her from their grasp.The rest of the book is set fourteen years later with a much more hardened Frankie and he's out for revenge - and he's desperate to get Ada back too.I loved the banter between Viper, Frankie and Bambi too. Every time I read a book by Catherine I'm always reminded of how well she weaves the romance, adventure and suspense all together. So many twists and turns too but always rounded up perfectly with a HEA.I don't think I could give this book higher praise to be honest! I can't recommend enough!
