Still remains a favorite in my love of Mafia books. There is still a thin line between love and hate with Salvator and Lucia but in the Mafia lifestyle, family deals are made for a reason and you did what the leaders told you to do to keep the peace! I loved Salvatore's rough nature and his love for all things LUCIA BENEDETTI !

August 2025 re-read ==> This series went into KU: Same rating. One can't take this book too seriously, lol. It's a series of shocking events that aren't glued together very well. I remember LOVING the second book though. Moving on!🤞
I have to say that I struggled with how to rate this book. Parts of it were really well-written in a 4-star kind of way and others were not. I think the author was torn between writing something REALLY dark and something more mainstream; the scenes would flip between ...more

I started off really enjoying this book but after about 35% I was over it!
Lucia was annoying and Salvatore was a sook. I really enjoy Natasha Knight so I was really disappointed that this didn't work for me. ...more
