Ricca (In Loyalty Lies Trust)

I love a good book that takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I can honestly say Ricca and Chiara's story did just that for me. Regardless of how ruthless Ricca is, he has a baseline of rules and morals. You either dedicate yourself or you find yourself truly screwed if you cross him. Chiara was a test of those rules in many ways. In a moment of battle, he makes a decision that changes everything and turns starts an all-out war. Chiara knows what the mafia life is all about. She's a mafia princess who has been brought up to be a certain way, at all costs. She understands the line of loyalty that must be drawn in order to keep yourself and your family safe. When the battle begins she believes she's been traded from one monster to another. When the war finally comes through, it's fight or fall. The two of them together is the perfect play of fierce, strong but also incredibly tender. They must figure out if they can be united in the worst of times. This is a fabulous, binge-worthy, emotional ride of a book that will keep you talking to yourself and your e-reader! Loved every bit of it!

First book I've read by this author and I was captivated with this story starting on page 3. It drew me in and I couldn't put it down until I finished. The hate and mistrust between Chiara and Ricci turned to love and ever after was an amazing ride with the ups and downs with a little trauma and humor sprinkled in. Amazing will definitely read more from this amazing writer.

Ricca and Chiara are definitely lost souls that were reborn in marriage. This book is highly recommended. I was skeptical, but I love a good mafia story and this gave me more than I could imagine.
