They kept dancing around their mutual attraction and when they finally gave into it, combustion. The teeny weeny distinguishing factor though was the undeniable attraction between the FMC and the MMC. It pretty much follows the template of every other mafia romance novel. I will be honest: there is nothing terribly extraordinary about this book. They fell in love, got married, blah blah blah- you know the drill. In a strange twist of events, she finds herself in his house, on his counter, with his fingers buried in her (whoosh). This is a mafia romance novel and get this: our FMC is the favourite daughter of another Mafia leader.Įlena, the FMC, was not originally betrothed to Nicolas(or Nico, as he stubbornly insists), rather her sister was. * cough cough*Īnyway, yesterday I finally rounded up the first book in the #Made series by Danielle Lori, titled The Sweetest Oblivion, and I loved every page of it!
Romance, as a genre, is very comforting and the guaranteed HEA might just be a permanent cure for boredom. My recent reads have been quite steamy, complete with brooding males and dazzling female leads. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another.īesides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don’t fall in love with a Made Man.
Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she’s beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he’s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.Īnd he’s always near. After his and Elena’s first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he’s just as rude as he is handsome. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat-even measured against mafia standards. In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo.
They say first impressions are everything. Now, all she can see in the mirror’s reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint. She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa. Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds.
