Recommendation
If you love Mafia feuding families, secrets, romance and a hero who is sweet to the heroine, then you will love this book. The blurb got me to #1Click, but it was Tijan’s writing and characters that had me hooked from page 1. I love Tijan’s New Adult series and this was such a different storyline to what I was used to from her. There was more mystery and suspense, but Cole and Addison were perfect together. I was heartbroken with Addison in the beginning until she started to love Cole, the opening chapter and other flashbacks will have you reaching for a tissue or 2.
Excerpts
“I’m going to do everything you want me to do. I won’t do anything you don’t want me to. If you want me to hold you, I’ll never let you go. If you want me to kiss you all night long, you’ll have to buy me chapstick in the morning. Anything you want, I’ll do.”
He was beautiful like a fallen angel, but so lethal at the same time.
“I’m not scared of who you are. I’m not scared of what you can do. I’m not scared what it means to be at your side. I’m only scared of how much I can’t be without you. That terrifies me, all the way to the bone. But I’m still here. I can’t walk away from you.”
Publisher synopsis
I shouldn’t have remembered him.
He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant. I didn't know his name. We never made eye contact. There was no connection between us at all.
But I could feel him.
The tingle down my spine. The command in his presence. The snap of tension in the air around him. That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated.
The second time was different.
He was in the mysterious back elevator of my apartment building. Our eyes met for a fleeting second before the doors closed, and I was staggered. My breath was robbed. My senses on high alert. My body hummed.
That was just the beginning.
He was the leader of the mafia. I was about to fall in love with him, and his name…
Cole Mauricio.
