Dark mafia romance, contains scenes that could be triggering to some. Listen with caution. This is book one of a trilogy, and an epic cliff-hanger can be expected!
Theo
My whole life was mapped out, designed for me, before I was even a twinkle in my old man’s eye. I am the heir to the Valentino throne. A kingdom built with blood and dirty money. But one I’ll rule all the same.
My father was the youngest Don to ever be crowned king. However, with any luck, the controlling bastard will drop soon, allowing me to beat his record by a few years.
I love my father—respect the hell out of him. But some of his choices lately, the plans he’s laid out for me, they’re...archaic. I was happy to go along with his proposition, to embody the role I was assigned at birth. Until I met her.
She wasn’t part of his carefully orchestrated game board. She’s not part of the lifestyle. She’d get eaten alive if I were to bring her into the fold.
Those innocent emerald eyes of hers hold me captive from the moment our paths collide. To hell with the plans for my future. This girl, who has no place being in my world, has become its entirety.
Holly
A new job. A new city. A new country. This is the new me. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself as I step off the plane at JFK. New York: I couldn’t think of a better city to force myself out of my comfort zone, to step out from under my sister’s shadow.
My dream once included finding the husband, having the kids, building that white picket fence. It’s funny how things change over time.
My new dream? Experience life to the fullest. Explore and discover who I am, without my other half. Surviving the New York culture shock, without getting mugged or killed, is also high on that list.
That is, until I run into him. And just like that, my life takes a 180. Again. There’s something dark inside him—it calls to a part of me I never knew existed. Can I really go against my moral compass, every belief I’ve held onto so tightly, just to answer it? To be with him?

Once again I think this author has managed to write an FMC that while she feels weak and docile and timid the reader doesn't really see her that way. I loved as we get to see Holly's fire come out and even when she makes rash decisions Theo's pride for her is so evident! Holly is out of her league in Theo's world but through sheer determination on both their parts they will stay together and overcome!
Book 1 leaves us on 1 hell of a cliffhanger that made me thankful book 2 is already out and I didnt have to wait!
The editing and grammar are top tier and there is literally nothing to note that distracts from the flow of the book or the ease of absorbing into the plot that makes you want to be in New York with Theo and Holly
This book is available on audio with 2 narrators who do a fine job bringing these characters to life. One thing to note, If you like to follow along while you listen there is A LOT of rephrasing, paraphrasing, skipped sentences that differ from the written kindle version to the audio book and even some changes that didn't seem crucial but happened all the same... (The name of a river is different in the audio than in the print version for example) I don't know the reason behind the changes and it doesn't ruin the experience at all but if you are one to follow along like I am it does take a minute to adjust that the audio is not a word for word of the kindle book.
Great start!

I'm not always a fan of insta-love stories because it's not very believable to me. I did like both characters, especially the FMC, so there were things I overlooked. The relationship progresses at light speed.
One thing that bothered me was that the FMC had a fear of guns, so much so that she passed out from seeing one. That in itself wasn't the issue. It was that the MMC took taught her how to shoot, and suddenly, she was holding a gun and firing at someone. I don't believe someone with that level of terror would get over it that quickly.
I will be purchasing the next one in the series.
Great narration, fast-paced story
