This is Salvi Moretti's story, first introduced in "A Beauty So Cruel" and (yes I was one of those people that begged for Salvi to get his own story) and Ehva Rossi(it is next to impossible to explain who she is without giving the whole story away). While it is possible to read Salvi story with out reading "A Beauty So Cruel" and "A Beast So Cold" but I would recommend it because all of Salvi's motivation comes from that story. I loved that Salvi is still so beautifully unhinged and I that he is a man of his word. I am not a fan Ehva, for a person that has basically lived her teenager years on her own and that is also a lawyer it is crazy how naïve she is. I wished she had more spunk like Dahlia. I also wish that the characters that showed up from "A Beast So Cold" did more than just give a half hearted speech and leave. I would recommend to anyone that loves a good mafia, twisted "love" story. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The Blue-Eyed Devil is incredible and dark romance. I love Salvi & Ehva story. But if you going to read it there is triggers through out the book.
Ehva is an good woman who has always been a faithful Catholic woman. She also a criminal lawyer. But her family treats her badly. You might not see a heroine at first but her strong and courage will show up.
Salvi is the don of mafia. He is ruthless killer. But at the same time Ehva will bring out this soft side of him which you don’t expect. People fear him and as you read you will see all the reason why he does things.
The characters are wonderful. Ehva and Salvi are completely opposite but their chemistry is fantastic. Beena Khan does amazing job with storyline. Their journey has many ups and downs, but their will not end in the way you will think. I love the ending of book. And I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

OMG, I have the most intense book hangover after reading this. Good vs Evil, nothing is as it seems, Hell is about to reign on Earth in the aftermath of The Destruction of Ehva...she was once pure as the driven snow, but the devil got his hands on her and changed everything. Dark, twisted and completely unexpected.
Warning, this book is a little dark, intense, violent, and may be triggering. We do get some praise kink

When I first started the book, I didn't read any reviews so I had no idea what to expect. The start was scary and had a suspenseful vibe. Salvi was such a psychopath and everytime he smiled, it gave me goosebumps. Ehva was innocent and naive but she somehow held her ground. The twist in the last few chapters made my heart break for her. All the lies, deception and chaos that was put into her life was really cruel. I just wish she could get her revenge and fight for herself. I'm excited to go read the next book and find out what happens in the conclusion. Tbh, I don't want her to forgive Salvi easily though. I'm just so pissed and I want him to grovel a lot.

Ehva is the purest of the pure. She's a naive, young lawyer, mafia princess looking to make something of herself. She has a new relationship with Adamo, but he later bets her and loses her in a hand of poker. And who owns this casino? None other that the leader of all dons, Salvi Moretti. He approaches this Angel of a woman and is constantly trying to pull her more into his life, into the dark. Ehva's involvement with the Don only becomes more complicated when she realizes that her firm is on his case, and she is one of his new lawyers. Salvi continues to chip down her defenses until she's accepted her fate. There are several plot twists and one big unexpected revelation at the end. Ehva loses some of her naive and hopeful nature at then end of this book and I'm interested to read the next to see how she comes into her own. This book does have a cliffhanger.
This book, for me, moved pretty slow. But then we finally started to get deeper into the relationship between Ehva and Salvi, I felt it became quicker paced. I found myself more invested in this book a little over half way through. I wish there was more dialogue between our main characters, and less of the inner monologue type of writing.
Themes include: Italian mafia, Lucifer-Eve retelling, arranged marriage, age gap, check trigger warnings.
Overall I gave this 3 out of 5 stars and 2 out of 5 for spice.

ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange of an honest review. Thank you, Beena! ❤️
This book is twisted and dark and sometimes hard to digest, but it’s also very smartly written and the actions are so intriguing, that you need to read without stopping or you might feel like your breath is captive in its pages.
So, I got used to the dark stories Beena is writing. But I loved this one the most. I needed a book about Salvi, but I didn’t expect to need a book about the Angel’s revenge.
I can’t wait to see if the angel falls for the psychopath brother. I really hope so.

I. AM. HEARTBROKEN.
I don't even know how to explain how angry I am at Salvi. In part, I am glad I can't because then I can speak about how dissapointed I am about people spoiling this book in their reviews! Getting an ARC is a privilege that can be easily revoked. I know try my hardest to not be that person and know that sometimes something may slip.
Anyway, Ehva and Salvi are chaos.
Lucifer and Eve.
Lucifer and Lilith.
Everything looked like it was going so well between them and then BAM! Things happened that created a whole other dimension between these two. I can't wait to see how Ehva manages with her position in and about life.
