BLURB:
My father’s most valued and trusted soldier.
My brother’s best friend and second in command.
And the only man I would give up everything for.
I fell hard for the Mafioso at the tender age of eleven. This beast of a man who I knew made people disappear—and probably enjoyed every second of it—was also the sixteen-year-old boy who had picked me up after I’d fallen flat on my face during my dance recital and told me I was the best ballerina he’d ever seen. He’s watched over me, protected me like I was the most precious thing in the world to him.
And then he sent me away.
Scarlett Vitucci was many things:
The daughter of the biggest Cosa Nostra boss from New York to Chicago.
The sister of the man I would gladly take a bullet for.
And the only woman I would ever love.
Sending her away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I didn’t deserve her or her love. For three years I stayed away, ignoring the gnawing ache that her absence left in my chest. Now, she was back and fighting what I felt for her was impossible. Letting her go had been a huge mistake.
One I would never repeat.

My Thoughts:
Scarlett Vitucci loves to push her family’s buttons. She shows that family life isn’t easy when
your father is a very powerful boss. She
has a sister, Victoria, that even though they may be total opposites they seem
to be very protective of each other. But
Victoria likes to stretch boundaries.
Scarlett knows how to take care of her – even though she makes it difficult. Ciro Donati is a man that can be both violent
and concerned. He’s also very good at
lying.
At times the author had me so riveted that I hated having to put the
book down. It was hard to believe that
this was the first book in the series.
There were some characters that you felt that there was a story there
waiting to be told. Ms. Browning is
great at creating tension between our main characters and she does it without
crossing the line. It’s also a story
that builds from scene to scene and without any sex scenes that I felt would
cut in to my enjoyment of what she had written.
But don’t worry because she adds it in at just the right moment.
Now the author could have just continued with this tension but she
turns things up by adding in some suspense.
She doesn’t get too graphic with the violence but gives you enough to
have no trouble picturing the whole scene in your mind. She also includes a second story between
Victoria and Adrian Volkov that leaves me wondering if we’ll see them again.
I liked seeing the connection that these two sisters had and it reminds
me what I miss out on since I only have brothers. Scarlett is the tough as can be mother hen and
will protect her sister any way she can.
Victoria has a condition that requires her to be careful but that doesn’t
stop her from trying to spread her wings.
Then you have Ciro who is trying to be an honorable man, which is hard
considering his profession, but you see how hard that becomes when Scarlett
reenters his life. The ending leaves me
looking forward to when book two comes out.
When that is I have no idea but she has plenty of other books I can read
in the meantime.
