When he finds out she is pregnant and they are offering up her sister, Cleo, instead he agrees. He does not waste anytime with the wedding and he cannot deny he is looking forward to his little wife. Cleo is known to be the wild child untamable one in her family but Rafaele has plans to tame her, but she is a woman with her own ideas and Rafaele decides he is going to draw his wife in keeping her close to win her heart.
Cleo acted out because she never wanted to be married to the mafia. She wants out of the marriage with Rafaele and comes out with a plan to drive him nuts enough to kick her out. It all backfires though and when Rafaele finds out she is being treated in a way he does not like, he steps in.

Excellent story, I need to go back and read the other books in this series. I thought Cleo had such a magnetic personality. Rafaele has always had his eyes on Cleo, she ensnared him. I loved seeing how this story played out....more

What a terrific story. So many different facets to this story. Lannahi trusts very few and she finds herself betrayed by one she thought she could trust. She makes a play that changes everything and her determination is astounding. At times Lannahi can come off as cold but there is so much to her, couldn't put the story down.

A game of cat and mouse, but Gia has claws he never expected. Can Gia learn to trust Nico when he realizes that she may have a chance of freedom with Nico?
Interesting story. I was not sure how this book would unfold. Initially your feelings for Gia is that she is will just cower under Nico, but she is a bit of a loose cannon. Nico you don't really care form him in the beginning but when he starts to really fight for Gia, you see a different side altogether. I am curious to see if there will be more to come around these characters that are introduced....more

Dahlia is happiness and a soft soul, while Trey is hardened and without mercy. Dahlia has a past that has shaped who she is, Trey doesn't condemn her for it while others do. Now Dahlia is working at the Bowery and Trey can't seem to keep her out of her thoughts. His life would destroy the beauty that is Dahlia, but he can't seem to stay away. Can he take a chance and find a happiness he never thought would be in his grasp or will he corrupt her like everything else in his life?
I was not sure what to expect with this one because we know Dahlia from Ghostown East and have had little glimpses of these two interacting. I have always liked Dahlia and she was even more intriguing in this story. Trey is pure alpha male and you see a vulnerable side to him in this story. You also get a better take on Rogue, Oz, and Nash. Can't wait for the next one, if this story is an indication of how the series will go it will be amazing. ...more

Teague was a big surprise, he was not quite what I was thinking but was thrilled with his story. Can't wait for the next book....more
