2.0

Dante’s first wife died from cancer, and it was time to marry again since he was head of the mafia. 

Valentina’s first husband died in an accident so her parents arranged a marriage between her and Dante. 

Dante never really wanted to remarry and still mourns his first wife. He expects Valentina to be doing the same since her husband died more recently. He doesn’t know that valentinas first marriage wasn’t as blissful as it seemed, so she’s more ready to move on than anyone might think. 

Logically that creates a lot of hurt feelings and confusion, especially when Dante is not used to speaking about his feelings. 

I have this a 2star rating because the characters are very very similar to the first book in the series. I will not be continuing with this series.
