Forced to marry a traitor's daughter, I'll shed blood to make sure it doesn't happen.
Marc
As a child I was put on a silver platter and my parents were presented
with marriage opportunities. Many other mafiosos were trying to secure
their daughter's hand in marriage to me, a cousin of the Irish Boss.
Eventually, they accepted one. The only problem is, I've never intended
on being with one woman. It's never been something I've been interested
in.
Sure, I’ve seen the way those close to me have found happiness, but it isn’t for me.
I'm dead set on not being tied down, even if the woman of my dreams
comes out from the shadows when I least expect it. She may be beautiful
in every way, but she’s not meant to be mine.
I only question my reasoning the moment darkness comes forth and we find ourselves forced together.
Can I allow this woman to ensnare my heart and soul, or do I fight against it and push her away?
3 STARS
At times I found this book confusing, even though there was an Irish Translation and Family Connections chart included. Maybe it would have been easier if I had read any of the other books. I'm probably not being fair to the author by giving the story a lower rating because of that. But that is a truth for me. I got lost more than once. Which is a shame because both Marc and Zoe were starting to grow on me.
I wish that I had liked this story more but it does get points for having a very well drawn villain.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Booksprout. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
