About this item

Attending a party with my stepbrother, I'm in for the surprise of my life.

It's not a regular party, but instead, my wedding. To Angelo Rizzo. A coldhearted man who's feared by all. Including me.

Three hours later, I have a new shiny wedding ring on my finger and a husband I'm terrified of standing by my side.

Yep, my life just took a turn for the worse.

There's no hiding. No running.

All I can do is face the nightmare that awaits me and pray I'll survive being married to Angelo Rizzo.

This is the first book that I read by this author thanks to Kindle Unlimited. I just happened to be perusing and saw this and read the synopsis and said why not. I am so very glad that I did. It had me glued to the pages and I read it in one day. Lots going on and the characters within are absolutely superb. Looking forward to book 2.

A great mafia romance. Not too much violence that it will turn you off of the book, and a lot of romance and heart. I loved this book. The connection they had was good. Not overly written and just the perfect amount of story if that makes sense. Loved this

I was so excited Michelle came out with another mafia series. However I do believe my expectations were a little too high. The book started great, and I was thoroughly enjoying it until about 40% in. Plot was honestly nothing special, another innocent virgin who is traded off to a mafia boss because of the wrongdoings of a family member. Blah blah blah, we've read if a hundred times, and at this point, if authors continue recycling the same storyline, then they need to get creative. I honestly didn't mind the plot because, let's face it, it's one of the big tropes in the mafia world. The story itself lacked originality. After reading the Saint and Sinner series I expected to fall in love with the Costa Nostra and their brotherhood. It's apparent Michelle tried to recreate the priesthood just in a different world and unfortunately it fell flat to me. Angelo is the mmc and honestly quite boring. I can't say whether or not I liked him because his character didn't stand out to me. He was obsessed with Vittoria because of her innocence and virginity which after reading a thousand times over throughout the book was redundant. Vittoria reminded me a lot of Kira from the second Sinners book which was my least favorite. She had no personality. She was honestly just there to praise God and do what she was told. The sex scenes were decent enough but a little repetitive. I did like the side characters, but wish we got a little more details on them. Big Ricky and Tiny, were they young? Middle aged ? Old? For them to be in the entire book their characters should've been described more. Also the step brother giorgio ( or whatever ) why was he such an important part of throughout the book only die because Angelo was mad at another situation? Of course he deserved to die but I expected a little more action between him and Angelo and Vittoria. The entire uncle storyline felt rushed and honestly felt like it was just thrown in there to create some sort of drama. We also hear the name Victoria thrown around quite a few times but never brought into the story. Overall I am quite disappointed with the first book of Michelle's new series. Again I was expecting to be thrown into the mafia world she creates so beautifully but it just didn't happen this time around. I haven't decided if I'm going to continue this series or not. I felt as though Michelle wrote this book on a whim and didn't put much into it. I hate to be that harsh but it is what it is. Also insta-lust/love which I don't care for. One more thing before I finish this lengthy review is the obsession Angelo had with Vittoria innocence and virginity was not only odd repetitive but odd to say the least. Can we please get an mmc who doesn't treat their wive like a child !? Rant over. Enjoy the book because I sure didn't.

Great mafia story Loved how protective and loving Angels was toward Victoria Spoiler Alert I didn't like however that in every scene Vitoria was with her brother Georgia he became violent with her That could have been lessened but at least Angels did get justice for Vitoria Loved Tiny and Big Ricky

This book was soooooo freaking good. Like way way better than I could have expected. The characters were perfectly developed and nothing was too out of the realm of reality. I loved this book.
