Publisher's summary

She’s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds....

Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa...or was. Now, all she can see in the mirror’s reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint.

They say first impressions are everything....

In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A made man, a boss, a cheat—even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties.

After his and Elena’s first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he’s just as rude as he is handsome. She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he’s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.

And he’s always near.

Telling her what to do.

Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should.

Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she’s beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes.

Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don’t fall in love with a made man...right?

This is a stand-alone forbidden romance (with plenty of steam and angst.)

Entertaining

The storyline kept me invested, and the amount of tension between the main characters was fun! The male voice wasn’t my favorite however both narrators did well. This book has a lot of drama and medium amount of spice.

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

I really loved this series. So much so that I listened to all 3 in a matter of days. The story was good, the narrators were decent and I didn’t find it drag on.
Would recommend for sure.

Perfection

I ate this book up. Loved their slow burn romance. I’m obsessed with these characters. Really wish they gave us an epilogue, but diving into the next one in hopes we hear more about these two.
