Mateo Calvetti is the
eldest son and next in line to be the head of the Calvetti crime family. His father has planned an arranged marriage
for Mateo to Carina Ricci since her birth.
The reasons his father have given him for this marriage are vague and
Mateo does not understand why this connection to the Ricci family is so
important. Since his father desires it
however, he must follow through.
Mateo wants his wife
trained. He demands and expects Carina
to prepared to stand by him as his Queen.
She must be untouchable and cold.
He will not abide a wife who embarrasses him and his family. He will also not accept weakness from his
wife. With this, his family has been
giving money to the Ricci family in hopes that they will train Carina and
ensure she is prepared to rule by his side.
Mateo has no idea what he has
gotten himself into.
Carina Ricci is living
a very difficult life with her parents.
She is punished for her mother’s iniquities and mistakes. She is also being brutally trained as well
emotionally abused. As a result of this
training and abuse, she has a psychotic break and forgets who she is as a
person. She remembers everything else
but her self-knowledge and feelings are skewed.
Carina has no idea yet what fate
has in store for her.
This book took me by
surprise. So not what I thought it would
be. It is captivating and intriguing and
the world the author created pulled me in.
It is a different take on the mafia world that I enjoyed.
It is told in dual POV,
flowed well and ended too quickly.
Mateo is brutal, harsh,
arrogant and blood thirsty. He believes
that Carina is weak and that she knows nothing. I love how she proves him wrong
over and over again
with her backbone and snark. Not to mention their sparring and
arguments. I couldn’t believe how much
she sassed back. Put them together and
they definitely will be a force to be reckoned with!
I also very much liked
Dom who has been Mateo’s friend since childhood. He is down to earth. He helps and befriends Carina as much as he
can in this new life she is living. Dom
is friendly, kind and understanding even though this is an oxymoron compared to
who and what he truly is. Surprising
that.
As for Carina, there is
so much more to her than meets the eye.
She’d hiding behind a lot of anger, a match just waiting to be lit. I cannot wait to see her explode!
This book ended on a
bloody cliffhanger! I cannot wait to see
how it all ends. I’m on tenterhooks to
learn more of Carina. That is going to be interesting. I’m SO excited and I want more!
This is a series with
only the basics covered in this first book.
It is just heating up. It has so
much intrigue that there’s no question about it, I am reading the next
books. I am enthralled. I need the next installment STAT.
I received an ARC of
this book. All thoughts and opinions are
my own.
