Devil's Lily

Nightshades, Book 1

De: Sasha Leone, Roselyn Ash

Narrado por: Kasha Kensington, Peter Alden

How do you go from blind date to shotgun wedding in a single afternoon?

You catch the eye of a man like Maximo Leonotti, that's how.

It's not like he had to force me. I was hooked on the stormy-eyed stranger from the moment we met… right up until I felt the pinch in my arm.

The next thing I know, I'm waking up on his private jet, halfway to Las Vegas. Apparently, for an impromptu wedding. Our wedding.

That's when the panic sets in. This can't be happening. I'm Elira Përmeti, daughter of Afrim, leader of the Albanian mafia. If I go missing, all hell will break loose.

But when I tell Maximo, he just smiles. Turns out, he already knows all of my secrets, and now it's time I hear one of his:

My father owes him a debt, and I'm the payment.

Devil's Lily is a standalone, dual pov dark mafia romance featuring a possessive, 'touch her and I'll unalive you' type anti-hero and a feisty, smart heroine. No OW drama, no cliffhanger, and a hard-won HEA.

Wow

I enjoyed this crazy ass emotional roller coaster my sanity ran out the window and not coming back I love this book

Maximo & Alira

DNF! I got 73% complete and was just so irritated I decided to quit. I wanted to like this book, but just couldn’t. I real a lot of dark mafia, stalking, etc., & can usually tolerate the dark themes, provided the FMC isn’t a blithering idiot and/or doesn’t become Stockholmed.
I get that Alira was very sheltered & nieve but the utter lack of a backbone, especially when it’s written that her brother trained her through different scenarios, was quite irritating.
Also, the r@pey way Maximo consummated the so called marriage was gross. Then after she was shot, and how she reacted to the spaghetti & meatballs Maximo ate, was cringey.
Again, I am a fan of dark books, but the lack of TWs, particularly dub-con & Stockholm syndrome caused part of my deduction. I won’t finish the series either. Lastly, I purchased the audiobook and story asides the narration was fine & was probably why I made it as far in the book as I did.

Mixed feelings

Elira - the MC read a little too immature for me. Though it was easily explained, there were moments when I had to suspend disbelief that a man like Maximo would be into her. The End was a little iffy with plausibilty. But book 2 shows promise.

Amazing story I love the four brothers and the series will be getting the next book

Very good narration, amazing storyline love the plot very good suspense kept me on my toes. Will be getting the next book soon.

Great book

This book is a masterpiece. I loved both the male and female characters, but what truly made the story shine was Kasha Kensington’s narration. She brought the book to life, perfectly capturing her characters kindness and innocence without making her sound childish. Her performance felt genuine and beautifully balanced. Chef’s kiss.
