Publisher Description
Every year on my birthday, my tormentor returns to claim one of my firsts.
A DARK MAFIA / ARRANGED MARRIAGE ROMANCE
On my sixteenth birthday, a stranger from Corsica shows up at my party. Angelo Russo looks like an angel, but more the kind who decapitates dragons than the kind with soft white wings. He’s dark like the ocean and breathless like water. He says he wants all my firsts as if he already owns them, but my father orders me to stay away from this man.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape him. No one can keep me safe. Every year on my birthday, he brings me a gift, each one having a detrimental effect on my life with unimaginable consequences. With every gift he offers, he claims another one of my firsts. Before I know it, he’s taken control of my existence, turning me into a nervous wreck, because when I turn eighteen, I know what first he’ll come for next.
Note: Love Like Poison is the first book in the Corsican Crime Lord series and ends on a cliffhanger. Sabella and Angelo's story continues in Hate Like Honey, Book Two.
Customer Reviews
WOW, great start
This is the first book in The Corsican Crime Lord series. The story of Sabella a sweet naive sixteen year old who is totally unaware of her fathers shady business dealings, and the fact he promised her hand in marriage to Angelo Russo when they were both children to pay off a debt, but when Angelo, a young mafia boss comes calling to collect his debt, namely Sabella, her father has a sudden memory lapse. Angelo is now on a mission determined to take what he thinks is rightfully his.
Angelo himself is 20 years old and originates from Corsica and wants all Sebella’s firsts by whatever means he can, so we see manipulation, betrayal and heartbreak. Sebella is infatuated but extremely inexperienced, whereas Angelo is obsessive, jealous but equally inexperienced in love. The chemistry is hot between them, but with the interference from a third party namely Sebella’s father the future does not look great and with that cliffhanger we can only speculate what comes next. I was given this book as an ARC by the author in exchange for a voluntary honest review which I was willing to give.
