Publisher's summary

She’s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds....

Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa...or was. Now, all she can see in the mirror’s reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint.

They say first impressions are everything....

In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A made man, a boss, a cheat—even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties.

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. 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.

And he’s always near.

Telling her what to do.

Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should.

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.

Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don’t fall in love with a made man...right?

This is a stand-alone forbidden romance (with plenty of steam and angst.)

Liked it all!! Narrators did a great job. I’ve read this book twice over the past several years and just listen to it for the first time.

Bette then I thought

I typically read things more dark and sinister but I had everyone telling me to read this book and saying I would love it, at first I didn’t, but I kept telling myself to read the book to the end you never know how it’s gonna end. It was very slow burning until half the end. But overall i love it. Will it be in my top three? No. But it’s still a good book that I will recommend to others who are wanting to get into the darker and juicier books but making sure they slowly get into them because once you go through it there’s no going back.

This book is crack

This was book was initially a 4 star read for me but I honestly can't stop thinking about it. Something about Nico and Elena's dynamic has me constantly rereading this book. So now it's become a 5 star read lol
