Summary

#1 Bestseller in Organized Crime

Alessia

Stuck in an elevator with the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen—Who thought that kind of thing actually happened?

This man wasn’t just attractive; he was animal magnetism personified. He was every crush and craving—each desire and fantasy—all rolled into one. The problem? There was something sinister lurking beneath that tempting façade.

Something dark and ruthless.

Luca Romano locked his sights on me the moment those elevator doors closed.

I couldn’t escape him, no matter how hard I tried.

There was a mutinous side of me that didn’t want to run. As if I ever had a choice…

A Note from the Author: For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!

Another new to me author, and I’m glad I tried. This book is the first in a mafia romance series, and it’s the perfect introduction. Through the characters of Alessia, who believes the mob is a myth, and Luca, who has a mysterious life, we discover this world where five families reign over New York. But the politics of this world isn’t at the core of the story. It’s first and foremost the story of Alessia, an innocent woman who’s going to learn that she has to compromise with her morals, for love. It’s basically the theme of the book, since Luca also has to compromise with his principles once he meets Alessia.

The characters are well developped, with a depth that I really enjoyed–especially the way Alessia is looking for her father’s approval, it was beautifully written. But it means that you’ll deeply relate to them, and will feel the horrible situations Alessia is going through. It’s a mafia story after all, it’s gritty and violent and painful.

I’m a big fan of the male narrator, but it was my first time listening to the female narrator. She was amazing. Since most of the story is seen through Alessia’s eyes, you only get a few chapters narrated by the male character.

It was a really good first of a series, though not for the faint of heart, and I can’t wait to know more about this world.

Really good first of a series

This is not a love story. This is a mafia story containing a romance. It is gritty, violent and raw, well written, well crafted. Not for the faint of heart.

This author certainly knows her craft with language and plot.

LOVED IT.

This is my first book by Jill Ramsower, and I absolutely loved her style. The storyline is incredibly engaging, it draws you in and captivates you. The plot is filled with conflict, deceits, betrayal, romance, and some angst. There were some unexpected twists and turns, secrets kept, and their revelations. I was thoroughly enthralled by how Luca and Alessia's relationship built and grew. Luca is the definition of an alpha male with powerful protective instincts. Alessia, although at times naive, has a strong inner core.

The dual narration by Mackenzie Cartwright and Teddy Hamilton is outstanding. Their performance embodies the characters' personalities and emotions, portraying their desire and want for each other, literally bringing the book to life. I can't wait for more books from this author.

Impressive
