And Michelle Heard knocks it out of the park again! Another fantastic Mafia romance, a little different but the same romance, emotion, and adventure she always gifts us with. This time the violence is more gritty, but the story is no less romantic and enchanting.
Vittoria Romano, twenty-three, lost her father and step-mother five years ago and has been subjected to her stepbrother’s abuse all these years. He took her father’s place in the Mafia and thinks he’s a big shot. Couldn’t have been more wrong! She chances into Angelo Rizzo while he’s doing gruesome Mafia business and he notices her gawking. He comes to check her out, she shakes in abject fear. Rizzo, who is one of the five heads of the Mafia in New York, fell to the enchantment of her beauty and innocence, and so he starts machinating.
I loved how he had to take romance counseling from his bodyguards in order to woo Vittoria, loved how Big Ricky and Tiny were initially scary and ended up like family to Vittoria, asking for her cooking treats like little puppies. She was initially scared stupid but she has an inner core of strength that helped her face her situation, deal with a dangerous Mafia don and still negotiate fidelity and children in exchange for protection. And then proceeded to make him cherish her like the treasure she is!
Beautifully romantic, some funny tidbits, a great couple with yummy steamy moments, and enough action to keep me in suspense. Another winner!
