Since his brother's death, Benny Bianchi has been nursing his grudge against the woman he thinks led to his brother's downfall. He does this to bury the feelings he has for Francesca Concetti, his brother's girl. But when Frankie takes a bullet while on the run with Benny's cousin's woman, Benny has to face those feelings. The problem is Frankie has decided she's paid her penance. Penance she didn't deserve to pay. She's done with Benny and the Bianchi family. She's starting a new life away from Chicago and her heartbreaking history.

Benny has decided differently. But Frankie has more demons she's battling. Demons Benny wants to help her face. But life has landed so many hard knocks on Frankie, she's terrified of believing in the promise of Benny Bianchi and the good life he's offering. Frankie's new life leads her to the 'Burg, where Benny has ties, and she finds not only has she not succeeded in getting away - she doesn't want to.

This was awesome! I can understand how some people may not like Frankie because she tends to run before facing whats bugging her. But can you really blame her esp with how her own mother and father were. I don't know if I would have been as forgiving to Benny's family so fast I mean she was giving them the silent treatment for a reason in the hospital but then I can see her deciding thats its not worth the grudge. I was mad at Benny for letting her run like he did, I thought he was so determined to have her. Why did he wait? Drama but glad it didn't last long. For a long distance relationship I think they did a bang up job there really wasn't much drama there and I thought there would have been. I was checking out the Goodreads rating and I am really surprised at the 2 and 3 stars maybe you have to experience this book audio book style to truly appreciate it. Either way I was not disappointed in the least. I think Frankie grew as a character and was open and honest when she could be. And I think Benny brought that out in her and had her back when she needed it. So all in all I gave is 5 star's all the way through. Enjoy Everyone!

As an Indiana girl I’m loving this series and completely wrapped up in the characters and their lives. Only issue from this book is hearing Cals voice, after the latest book, he went from manly to an irritating sissy voice and was extremely hard to take. Otherwise, excited for next book!

This is an okay to good writer, worth reading. She does a good job with her characters, however her characters are millennials, Gen Y's and some Gen X's. However, her pop culture allusions do not make sense and are more suitable to Baby Boomers or the generation before that (I don't know the name of that generation). To the reader who's not over 60 years old it's a real disconnect. For example she used something called tango and Cash, which I had to look up. And that was not the first time not only in this book but pretty much every other book of hers that I've read. Anyway, just a note to the writer and her editor.

REALLY WISH THIS WRITER WOULD UNDERSTAND CHARACTERS BETTER

I love her books! and this one was no different. However, if I were to say one critique, it would be that I didn't like the voice the narrator used for Cal. it didn't ruin the story or the book but it did bother me a little. otherwise it was great

Great as always

Where do I begin? Benny is such a great man. And Frankie, well she's a hot mess because of circumstance. All I know now, is that I want to find me a hot blooded Italian man! Wow is he sexy and demanding and just overall swoon worthy!

be still my beating heart
