Recommendation
Gia and Angelo are stuck in the Mafia life, even though the only thing they want is each other and a normal life. But they make the most of their time together, knowing as long as they have each other’s backs, nothing can come between them. Angelo hates having Gia in danger as his girlfriend, but he won’t give her up. Gia feels the same, always trying to show Angelo he’s still a good man no matter how many laws he breaks and sins he commits. I enjoyed their dynamic as a couple, feeding off the sins they’ve committed for their families, engaging in filthy sex yet knowing when to be just a normal couple that goes out to a bar for a few hours.
I was starting to hate their families the more I read because I just wanted them to get their HEA. But, I have to wait for book 2! This book is dark, only in the Mafia violence aspect, not sex. Unless you count Gia and Angelo’s kinky sex. But, I also thought Gia and Angelo were sweet and hot together, and you will be cheering for their HEA.
Excerpts
Sex with Gia was therapeutic. I could make my confession, unburden my blackened soul, and cleanse my guilt with each orgasm I stole from her.
"I want everyone to know who owns this pussy." I dragged my finger along her slick folds and shoved it into her, withdrawing long enough to replace my finger with my cock.
"I just asked you to marry me with my cock still inside you after I choked you. I don't do romance. But I did buy you a ring."
