In His Defense is the debut MM dark romance book by new-to-me author River Frost.
From the blurb:
Cassian Addario is a defense attorney feared by prosecutors and criminals alike. A man as lethal in the courtroom as he is in the shadows. Cassian lives by his own code: the guilty walk only once. If the law won’t stop them, he will. He’s cold, calculating, and untouchable…until he crosses paths with Kai Serrona.
Kai is a sharp‑tongued major crimes detective with a hacker’s mind and a heart that refuses to stop caring. The system has burned him before, but he still fights for the truth. When one of Cassian’s clients turns up dead and linked to the crime lord who destroyed Kai’s family, the two men are thrown onto the same trail…and straight into each other’s fire.
As Cassian and Kai hunt a dangerous syndicate that preys on the vulnerable, every step closer to the truth pushes them deeper into a web of corruption, betrayal, and bloodshed… and deeper into each other’s arms. But loving a man who kills for justice, and protecting one who still believes in it, may be the most dangerous choice either of them has ever made.
WARNING - In His Defense is a 137,000-word romance with dark undertones that includes a possessive psychopath, a detective who swears the psychopath was put on this earth to frustrate him, and enough gratuitous violence, torture, and sex to make anyone question their own morality. There is murder and mayhem, and a black hat hacker who tries so hard to be good, with dark humor and wicked side characters to offer their support. This is book 1 in the His series, where every couple gets their bloody HEA with no cliffhangers.
DuffetteReads review:
This was a really long story. It was a bit slow in the beginning setting up all the plots between the romance with all the sexual tension, the crime family elements, and of course the suspense plot happening. Once it did, it was great.
I did enjoy the world building and the side characters. I will definitely check out the rest of this series.
In His Defense is currently available as an e-book and paperback and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
