He was the epitome of darkness. She radiated light.
Althaia's heart thundered against her ribs as she stepped into the backyard for her cousin's engagement party. And then, there he stood, his mesmerizing golden-brown eyes locked onto her.
The Devil himself.
Damiano Bellavia.
The merciless and terrifying Mafia Boss her father had desperately tried to protect her from her whole life. Despite the danger and the ominous warnings echoing in her mind, Althaia felt an irresistible pull toward him, her curiosity piqued by the shadowy realm he inhabited. And he, in turn, was captivated by her, drawn to the innocence reflected in her emerald gaze.
Despite their differences, the fiery passion between them burned hotter with each passing day. But so did the threats and violence of the underworld. Soon, Althaia found herself thrust into a world she was never meant to know, while Damiano fought to protect the flame that had consumed his heart.
Murder and betrayal, family and profit. Will their love be strong enough to survive it all?
Review :
"This book I don't even have the words to accurately describe how good this book is. I just finished and am already re-reading. There were so many layers and moving parts and characters. This is the best mafia dark romance I have ever read. I will ALWAYS recommend 10/10."
"This was the most spellbinding love stories of all time. Never have I read a book with so much intense love and the willingness to go for what they wanted. I fell in love with all the characters. Amazing, well written. I applaud the writer."
"My first 5 stars read of the year! It just became one of my favourite romance stories! Everything is perfectly done-the plot, the characters, everything! It was one hell of a ride!"
"Loved loved this! Read it back to back twice, couldn't get enough! Love story, humor, anger, uncontrolled passion and the writing style was exceptional! 10/10! I am in love with la familia BELLAVIA!
"Oh my. Where to start. This book has a mix of both lovable and deplorable characters. Our FMC and MMC both have great growth and development. And I super love the balance in mood between the seedy under belly of crime life and hilarious one liners. Oh!!! And let's not forget the beyond sexy scenes our amazing author has graciously bestowed."
"This book was impossible to put down!! It definetley deserves its own series or a movie!! Hats off to the author she described every detail so vividly I could see it all playing out in my head like a movie! This was not just a typical "smut" book(as my husband calls them). This was a grueling story of true romance, sacrifice, action, family and lust! I am almost sad to be finished reading it!"
"I have read this story so many times because it has become a comfort story for me. Ive cried with these characters, cheered for them and laughed so hard tears streamed down my face. This story is where I go when I feel low. Each character stays in character to me. Their personalities shine bright and their love for eachother is strong. The possessiveness is top tier and don't get me started on the spice haha. I love that we get to experience the mafia side and not have it be an after thought. Don't be a c*cksucker for icecream and go get this book. She has put so much time and effort into it. And the author is such a lovely sweet person who deserves the world. "
"Completely addicted to this story. Mariam truly brought personality to the characters and made you feel like you were part of their world. I recommend this book for the laughter, the love, the tears and the action these pages hold. This story has it all. You will NOT be disappointed!!!!!"
"This is my first time writing a review, this book grabbed my attention on the first page and I couldn't put it down, you will laugh, cry and get angry. You will fall in love with the characters, I felt like I knew them, the love Althaia and Damiano have for each other is like no other. The devil gets what he wants. I can't wait for the next book"
