My name may be Romeo, but I’m far from romantic. My brother betrayed the family, forcing me into the role of underboss beneath the criminal mastermind that is our father.
I’ve never been a merciless criminal, and my father tests my resolve by giving me a stolen woman, knowing the situation disturbs me. What he doesn’t know is the disheveled beauty intrigues me.
She tried to kill me with my own gun on the first night, pushing my fixation into a dangerous addiction.
She’s unknowingly teaching me the power I have, and now I’m going to take over my father’s empire.
It’s a cold dark path to the top and I’m finally ready to lead the way.
Please read Author’s Note. It’s not really a warning but it is something to pay attention to. At first I thought this might be a standalone but then a name from book one is mentioned. So if you haven’t started this series yet, please go back and read Beautiful Criminal.
Romeo’s Prologue reminds me of a facility I volunteered at when I was in college – it hurt my heart and I was so glad when the semester was over. His beginning brought those feelings back to the forefront of my mind. Romeo’s in the family business but what it entails comes as a surprise.
The author does something interesting that I’ve not seen another do. It starts a mystery without knowing all the players. Luna hasn’t felt safe in a very long time. She seems to withdraw from her surroundings until someone from her past comes to be a part of her present.
You will see that these two are vulnerable but in different ways. They are strong but their epiphany is waiting for just the right moment to happen. In the meantime, we watch two people grow closer together and find a way to bring justice for those whose voice seems to have been silenced.
This was a book that can be finished in a day – depending on the hour that you start to read. This is a story where you want to see that by working together, a common cause may just lead to the perfect ending – except for the fact that there are no hints for a book three in the series.
M.N. Forgy is a soccer mom by day and a saucy writer by night. She started writing at a young age but never took it seriously until years later, as a stay-at-home mom, she opened her laptop and started writing again. As a role model for her children, she felt she couldn't live with the "what if" anymore and finally took a chance on her character's story. So, with her glass of wine in hand and a stray Barbie sharing her seat, she continues to create and please her fans.
