-------My 4 Star Review TITLED: Deceitful Seduction/Romance ---
Isabella Russo is the lawyer of her mob family. Her father is the Don; the head of this Italian family. She's brilliant, beautiful and she tries to stay on the legitimate side of the business. Oh, she knows that they are but she's trying to get things cleaner. She has a vision, a dream on how to go about that. Her Uncle Marco is always trying to control her. Always putting her down and trying to make her "less". To thwart her. I didn't like him from the start. It amazed me with how much her father put up with that. UNTIL, some hard truths come out MUCH later in the story. That one night stand with fake names is going to cost her ! Her friend Mia is the only one who really has her back. Although she has a brother Leo who does show up. He's not in the "business" but loves her. She also has a sister who stays way far away from the family business and doesn't really show up in the story.
It surprises Stephan Hale when Isabella Russo shows up in a meeting for competing for a contract and he soon discovers that although she is 13 years younger than him; she's sharp. Still beautiful but clever and skilled. Wow, the painful secrets that he is holding and his NEED for revenge is STRONG. He's been training and been trained for years to exact the downfall of Isabella's father, Don Enrico Russo. He's so attracted to her but if bringing her down publicly is the price of winning, he's going to do it ! And to him seducing her was not a problem at all ! Be warned though the scenes are explicit. He does end up having remorse so he isn't a psychopath ! Just ruthless !
Stephanos Petrakos and his mother Maria were the only survivors of the attack on their home in Greece . It happened he was 13 years old. His father and older brother, Dimitris were both murdered. Other people have hidden them, Nikos has been his main trainer on physical combat and how to stay alive. His mother entered into an American arranged marriage for her son's sake and the professor, Robert Hale adores her ! And he was thrilled to help by adopting and helped raise her son. Robert was very good and loving toward Stepahnos. But Stephan was also becoming a brilliant lawyer as well !
All the painful lies come out of course with everything coming to a stunning confrontation between the two families and finally a well deserved HEA for the couple.
