Pleasure has never been so deadly.

Rose Cassidy doesn't truly live; she just exists. Numbing herself to fear and pain is the only way she can survive in this cruel world. So when she's taken as collateral by the notorious Danny Black in a deadly game of power, she's thrown by the deep fear she feels rising within her. And, worse than fear, a profound desire. She's heard tales of The Brit. He's callous. Coldblooded. But no one ever said he was wickedly beautiful and darkly captivating. He sees past her mask, giving her a cruel sense of hope. But she must fight their twisted attraction or risk losing the one thing she survives for.

When Danny Black took an enemy's beautiful lover as security, he never anticipated the repercussions. Or the warped attraction they would share. Rose Cassidy pushes Danny to the brink of madness with her impenetrable façade and savage allure. He has to remind himself that she's bait. A solution to a problem. Yet she evokes powerful feelings in Danny, and feelings are risky when you're wanted dead by endless enemies.

The most dangerous game is about to be played.

But can either of them win?

I ate this book UP
An underrated book for the win!! I haven't seen any reviews on this book and it's genuinely SO GOOD. I was hooked from the beginning and binged the first 200 pages in one sitting and had to force myself to stop so I could sleep. 😒 But I finished the rest in another sitting and devoured it. This book kept me invested all the way until the end and I didn't want it to end!This book follows Danny and Rose, two people living extremely different lives but have similar traumas and the same type of darkness in them. After Danny's father dies, everything is left to him. Danny's world is massive and dangerous and Danny is cruel and violent. Rose is living in fear and is working to keep someone she loves alive. Everything she does, none of it is her choice. That all changes when she finds Danny or when Danny finds her. Their story doesn't start off great by any means. The man literally takes her against her will and is only keeping her for a ransom. But Rose isn't your typical woman and Danny soon learns that.Rose is a badass and Danny is her perfect match that I don't think she ever thought she'd find. Their love story is dark, toxic and extremely f'd up. I loved the tension and the angst in this book and Danny and Rose are deffs new fav characters of mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Mafia romance books out there

The characters are so well crafted, and everything seems so real, it sucks you in from the first page and keeps you from letting it down until the very end.
You go through a whole range of emotions, from fear, to relief, from empathy to anger, to love, to frustration, to sadness and sorrow and love all over again.
It is beautifully written, and makes you think you are living in the story with the characters at all times.
Tense and angsty, hot and steamy, full of action, it makes for one of the best reads!
I absolutely loved it!

The Brit by Jodi Ellen Malpas has been on my TBR since she published it and seriously, I am not sure why I waited so long to dive in. I was literally at the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. Steamy, dark, and intense, this story captivated from start to finish. Both characters, Danny and Rose, are damaged in many ways. Danny is a hard, cold, and ruthless man. Rose has been hurt so many times and yet is determined and strong. Rose serves a purpose for Danny. But what happens when they share an undeniable chemistry that can change everything for both of them? Emotional, raw, and captivating, this is must-read.

Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply thrilling!

Wow! The Brit was a thrilling romance that absolutely kept me on my toes from start to finish.
This book is a twisting labyrinth of a storyline with vivid characters and so many secrets that you will discover something new in each chapter before the big picture becomes clear. And just when you think you know, Jodi Ellen Malpas changes the rules yet again. It’s been ages since I read a story that so skillfully combined elements of a steamy romance with a thriller and created an absolute page turner that was impossible to put down.

Danny and Rose are two delightfully flawed characters who don’t trust others and are trying to survive the unfair hand life has dealt them. They are survivors, warriors that refuse to give up, and they persist for the chance at happiness despite it being so far out of reach. Danny is The Brit, the Angel-faced Assassin. He rules Miami with an iron fist; and to maintain his control, he needs a new marina. To get it, he bankrolls a politician running for mayor who isn’t holding up his end of the bargain. In a twist of fate, after a persuasive meeting with the politician, Danny walks away with the candidate’s mistress, Rose. Rose, for her part, is spying on the politician for the criminal holding her puppet strings. She hates him, but can’t escape him. Backed into a corner, she has no choice but to go with Danny even though it could mean her death.

Our two main characters, now in Danny’s home, constantly feel the pull of lust and attraction which they fight and give into equally. Neither trusts the other, both having learned that those closest to you can hurt you the most. From here, the plot becomes explosive, and we vacillate between steam, dialogue, and moments where they reveal pieces of their souls. As the past and truths are revealed, the plot twists and turns to an explosive ending that will leave you spellbound. This is a must read mafia romance that will thrill and entice you with every page turn and a must have on your bookshelf.

This author knows how to spin a tale. Although it was a very very long book, and I usually don't like to get invested in such a long book, I couldn't stop reading. It was such an involved story and such complex characters, it held me all the way through, and I'm still sniffling. 5 stars isn't enough

There truly is no better word to describe this book. At times, I wanted to shout at Rose and Danny for different reasons. K wanted to shake them and request that they stop being so stubborn. In the end however thats what made the ending of this book so enjoyable. It was true to who the character were and I can not wait to see where the rest of the series goes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad book!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2023

Well, this is my first time reading from this author. And now I'm excited to read some of her other stuff.

Rose was fierce and stood her own. Thank God. I'm so so so tired of the mousy, weak, virgin female character theme. Rose, was not.

Danny turned out to have a heart of gold, and I loved him for it.

Now, why not 5 stars?! Well, first the book truly has to be spectacular for my 5 stars. While this was good. Just a few things were a bit offputting. Constant naked times. Not a bad thing! But this was really constant. Too much of anything in a book, gets old. And around 80% or so, it took a sappy, cringy turn. Just a bit too lovey dovey for me....mostly from Danny. Just didn't happen as organically...more rushed in that moment. Like they went from 0 to 80. When both these characters are described as emotionally stunted.
And Danny talks about his right hand man and BFF Brad like he hangs the moon, but why for the entire book, does Danny seriously treat Brad like shiz?

I thought everything else was great. Great development and back story.

This was a fantastic story!! There is so much to unpack lol. I loved the chemistry between Danny and Rose whether it was hate or love lol. Both of their back stories made me want to hug them and I'm so glad they found each other. Great storyline as well with lots of drama, suspense, secrets and action. Can't wait to hit book 2!

This was my first encounter with Jodi Ellen Malpas's work, and it reignited my passion for reading after a slump.

The character development of Danny and Rose was captivating, as we delved into their pasts to understand the people they've become. The book masterfully builds intensity, offering moments of nail-biting suspense, laughter, and tears, taking readers on an emotional rollercoaster. Its structure and writing are impeccable, making it a highly recommended read.

I'm eager to continue with the rest of the series.

JEM wrote another masterpiece and this book seriously gave me all the feels! It Abso-freaking-lutely blew my mind & my heart to pieces! A page-turner! Chapeau lady!

Everyone needs this #angelfacedassassin & his strong fierce Rose in their life’s!

Danny and Rose experienced evil at a young age and their emotional walls are up and seem unbreakable! They are flawed and scarred which made Danny a stone cold, no second chances assassin and Rose an emotionless but strong minded asset to some powerful people.

In a turn of events Danny takes Rose as collateral and to also blackmail her current lover! Little did he know that she stirs something within him he didn’t expect and oh boy do they drive each other up the wall.

Their sexual tension gave me whiplash with their twisted and kinda messed up push n pull that had my heart on edge but then there are also moments that made me smirk and grin and fall in love with them!

I can only highly recommend this book, it messed me up emotionally but in a good way! I love JEMs books, she makes you fall in love, then hits you were it hurts, right in that angsty heart but somehow puts it back
