This story has all the elements I want in a love story – heart, passion, emotion, and humor. A protective and brooding hero combined with a sweet and strong heroine. Vic and Renee have sizzling chemistry and I love their witty banter. Try as they may to resist the attraction they are powerless to stop the fall. I just love when the alpha male is brought to his knees. This storyline is very well-written. The twists and turns along the way kept things interesting and it is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I adored the family scenes – the closeness, the razzing, the protectiveness were so much fun to read. I just can’t get enough of this mafia family!! Another must read from this talented author. Scarlet Chase and David Brenin brought these characters and story to life.
