Two
years out of college, Angelica Bondesan spends her time working as a barista,
keeping in touch with her prodigal brother, and trying to figure out how to
bridge the gap with her father, a wealthy real estate developer.
But
all of that changes the night she’s kidnapped. Thrown into a windowless room,
Angelica is positive there’s been some kind of mistake — until she
meets Nico Vitale.
Gorgeous
and frightening, Nico became the boss of New York City’s Vitale crime family
after the execution style murder of his parents two years earlier. Since then
he’s turned the old-school mob into a sleek, modern army of ruthless men
who understand that physical violence — while always an option — isn’t
the only way to get what you want.
Now
Angel is forced to face the truth;
Her
father is not the man she believed him to be.
Nico
Vitale is dangerous, possibly lethal.
She
is falling in love with Nico Vitale.
"From
page one you're hooked and sucked into this corrupt thrilling world. A
masterful romance of deep dark suspense, complicated emotions, and
exciting action." - New York Times bestseller, M.J. Rose
REVIEW - 4.5 Stars
I
love Mafia books. There is just something that completely fascinates me
about these people and their lives. This book hooked me in right from the
start.
Nico
Vitale is the head of the Vitale family in NYC. He's been thrown into the
roll because his father and mother were brutally murder. The killer
remains free and Nico wants revenge, but first he needs to get the proof to
prove the killer is guilty and who in his organization helped. With a
mole in his organization and another syndicate "Family" involved he
must do what he feels will get him his proof...he kidnaps Angelica Bondesan.
Will Nico get his proof? Or was kidnapping Angelica this worst move
he made?
Angelica
is working a dead end job after finishing school. Her brother David is
her only happy point in her life. With a strained relationship with her
wealthy father who has pretty much kept his children at arm’s length, she must
figure out a way to forgive him for the past years absence.
When
she's kidnapped she believes it's a mistake. Why would anyone kidnap her?
When she finds out the kidnappers or more importantly crime boss Nico
Vitale want something from her father, she soon finds out not everything she
thought about her father is true. Will Angelica believe these words
spewed about her father? Or will she finally grasp the truth before her?
Will she deny the growing attraction she's feeling to Nico?
The
instant attraction is not welcome between either of them, but in their minds
they can't deny it. When sparks start flying the lines blur and soon they
find themselves falling in love. Soon things get complicated and no one
is safe. Can Nico get his proof and keep Angelica? Will Angelica
finally see what her father really is?
This
was an intense ride. Secrets, lies, truth, death and love. The
chemistry is hot between Nico and Angelica. I enjoyed the forbidden
connection between them. They both are lonely and together they seem to
merge their loneliness into one. They both want possession of each other,
but they were scared. Scared of how they were feeling and the future.
I
do own you, Angel...but you own me, too.
My
4.5 star rating is because it needs better editing. It has grammatical
errors and some I had to read a few times to make sure I was reading them
right. Also I felt Angelica was hot at times and then cold and then hot.
Overall, it's a fantastic read.
Michelle
St. James has crossed into the adult novel genre with a winner. The
storyline and the characters are engaging. I need a HEA, but I don't know
if we will get that.... I'm excited to see where she will take the series
next. 4.5 Stars!
