Customer Reviews
Hot Romance
Luca and Gabrielle!! I absolutely loved this book! This entire series is addictive and nonstop. I listened to it on Audible and OMGOODNESS Aiden Snow is incredibly sexy as the narrator. I have listened to all three books and this is my favorite. A must read or better yet listen!
Amazing
Love this fast pace read that will have you on a heartbeat ride of ups and downs with this alpha male and witty cop that will find out that they can make any thing happen and fall in love and work their issues together.
WOW Luca is HOT!
WOW Luca is HOT!
This series is AWESOME! It's a gritty, suspenseful, gripping Mafia tale, to be sure, but it's so packed full of sexy times and love and kick-butt heroines and I just LOVE it!
Gabrielle was AMAZING! I loved how she was strong and independent, but I love even more that I wasn't "beaten over the head" by how strong and independent she was. In other words, I felt she was realistic, and I liked her a lot!
And Luca. WOW!!! Loyal to a fault, fluent in Italian, protective...he's my favorite hero in this series by far! (though Nico was a VERY close second!)
I'm normally not into this kind of story/genre, but Sarah makes it impossible not to be completely engrossed by this series!
I CAN'T WAIT for the next book!!!!!!
