Remind me never to hang out with Isabella Valentino. She gets shot at a LOT! When her bodyguard is killed, Isabella has to pick a new one, and she opts for the gorgeous Raffaele Ferrara. The more time the two spend together, the closer they get, but old vendettas arise that put Bella and Raf in danger. 

This book is great. I love the constant action and the spice. The angst between Bella and Raf before they finally get together is off the charts. So good. The characters are great, and I love the cousin squad. The world building is on point, and the plot is fantastic. It’s great that Bella is a mafia princess but not spoiled. She’s obviously a caring person with a heart of gold who sees a world beyond the family business. Raf is sweet and caring, not just an alpha he-man. They make a perfect couple. The ending of the book gives us a sneak peek at the next book in the series, and I can’t wait. 

I highly recommend Ruthless Guardian - read it and let me know what you think - I’d love to discuss!
