Wow.. wow. wow.. this exciting four book series is growing – and building – and brewing ready to explode in its climactic end later on in the year. Meanwhile the perfection continues with Donatella’s story and she’s definitely her mother’s daughter.. she’s cold, ruthless and very ambitious.. but the top spot in the Callahan/Giovanni Mafia has already been taken by her brother.. so where does that leave Donatella? It leaves her craving more.. it leaves her vying for power.. and it leaves her carving out her own destiny thanks to a mysterious alpha stranger who only has a first name.. well, he’s also got an agreement to marry her.
Book 1 was a pretty much an insta-love story.. but this book is a delicious slow-burn of quick-witted banter and a push/pull relationship that sets the groundwork for another spin-off series and for love.. but there are many hurdles to cross, secrets that are yet to be revealed, revelations that are shocking and a bloody tbc ending no one saw coming. Donatella’s got to be conquered not wooed so it’s light on romance and I daren’t say any more.. except JJM’s writing abilities are absolutely limitless. She continues to spin a unique and intricate Mafia web, she continues to plot-build and plot-bomb, she continues to grab, grip, shock, chill and thrill.. she continues to leave me speechless.. and she continues to make me yearn for more more more. Again there’s multiple POV’s and Joel Froomkin’s awesome skills as a narrator continues to blow me away.
Worth a credit? Yes very.
