After being betrayed by her brother in the worst possible way,Allegra Moretti now has to come to terms with her new normal. Being under the watchful eye of none other than mob boss Cassian Trevino. Their worlds are dangerous and scars from Allegra's past have been a footprint for her in recent years. But for a man like Cassian, he always gets what he wants and having Allegra is going to be no different.

It takes more than guts to call yourself a true mob boss and for a man like Cassian, his actions speak volumes. An enemy is always on high alert and he doesn't repeat himself. When Allegra crosses his path, he knows that he has to play his cards right because a woman like her, has the power to make or break his dynasty.

I have to say that despite a few hiccups between the main characters, I found myself genuinely rooting for them. Cassian showed us his true self from the very beginning so I was content with his end game knowing that there was going to be a little wiggle room to change the course of things. Allegra was a real fighter and I loved that about her because she went through a lot but still showed a vulnerable side to Cassian.
Now can we talk about the chemistry and action???? I CANNOT look at Olive Oil the same way again and that's all I'm going to say about that!! These characters were electric together and when you throw in some non stop action, you have yourself one heck of a read. I'm so glad that I already have part 2 because that cliffhanger was outrageous!! If you're a mafia romance fan with a sprinkle of action, I highly recommend you read this duet.
