Nico is the man everyone wants but pretends they don’t, the alpha, the made man, the gentle giant when he’s in love. So I don’t think about you ’til tomorrow“ Why’d you have to fill my heart with sorrow? Elena and Nico are truly amazing together. AMAZING.Įlena is that heroine that you route for, she is a breath of fresh air when a lot of the times heroine’s are annoying with their inner monologue. The writing is good, the flow, the actions, the show not tell. I love books that give me that UST for at least 50% of the book if not more and the author blew it out of the park for me. Now after reading it 4 times I’m not such a newbie anymore but more of an addict. When I 1st read this book I was new to Danielle Lori…. This book is soooooo sexy, sooo sooo sexy, the lust, the need, the want…. This book made me realize that I really wish dreams came true LOL. Truth be told I have a hard on for anything mafia related, I mean my dream growing up was being a mistress to a Don.

I have read this book a total of 4 times now. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another.īesides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don’t fall in love with a Made Man. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she’s beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he’s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.Īnd he’s always near. After his and Elena’s first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he’s just as rude as he is handsome. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties.

A Made Man, a boss, a cheat-even measured against mafia standards. In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. They say first impressions are everything. Now, all she can see in the mirror’s reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint.

She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa. Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds.
