Because You're Mine by Claire Contreras
4.0
Because You’re Mine is a complete standalone in a series. But is recommended to read in order.
Tropes:
Mafia Romance
Catalina grew up in the mafia world. When dark secrets came out about her family, she knew she wanted no parts in that life.
Lorenzo is mysterious. Tall dark and handsome. But he has too many secrets.
Cat is a ballet dancer. Living her life away from her mafia family. When going to a college course in place of her sister. She meets Lorenzo. There is instant attraction, chemistry, and snarky banter between them. But the closer they get their secrets start to unravel. And someone from the past comes back for revenge.
I love everything mafia and Because you’re mine was such a good read. I loved the twists and turns. The lies and revenge. The action and plot. And the steamy romance between the characters. I especially love the character and relationship building, and connection between Lorenzo and Cat. This was my first book from Claire Contreras and it definitely won’t be the last!
2/5
