Beautifully Cruel by J.T. Geissinger
5.0
This is my first book by this author. Geissinger definitely delivered. The mafia part isn't too prominent as she focuses on the romance a lot more but there are talks of mafia things regardless. I definitely recommend!

Bound by Duty by Cora Reilly (267 pages)
✯ Quick description - 2 widows in an arranged marriage, kind of a marriage of convenience also ✯
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:
I think that it is just outrageous how much love and hate that I had for this pompous asshole called Dante Cavallaro, our MMC. He is so infuriating y'all and so sexy at the same time, I hate-love him. He was so hot and cold with Valentina. She stood her ground on certain things and he's not the typical "you can't do anything alone" type of Capo. She express herself and gets herself involved and Dante supported her, surprisingly. I kept on thinking between Luca and him, which one got on my nerves more, and it's Dante. Luca is pretty straightforward with his foolishness but Dante had me on an emotional rollercoaster. So even though he got some things right, he made me furious for the rest of the time. Oh and my girl Bibiana deserves the world and more. According to Cora Reilly's website, Bibiana does get a book and I'll be here for it ❤️

✯ Quick description - Her OB-GYN becomes obsessed with her and he stops at nothing to have her ✯
Such a wonderful read. I remember the teaser showing up on my timeline and I was like yes, I'm in. And I followed up with all teasers and reveals, it was everything ✨So on release day, I was so ready to get it and start reading. It did not disappoint! I had 1 issue however, and it was towards the very end. Besides that, I loved this book!
We had a bit of a third act distance and it was so not serious! Literally not that much time apart so I'm not calling it a breakup. I'm guessing it was for some level of angst but the explained reasoning was just convoluted. I'm not a fan of confusing plot points. Whatever it is, let's lay it down and move on. Or if we're having a 3rd act breakup, make it angsty. I'm talking months, years even if you're feeling ruthless. I have no issues with that but a very much not needed, last minute angst... that's not... we're not... We will be just fine without a 1-2 chapters "break". I am begging all authors please

✯ Quick Description ✯
He kidnaps her on her wedding day for revenge. Instead, things take many turns!
I don't have the words for this book. Remo and Serafina are such complex characters. They are messy, dangerous, complicated and so hot together. It's a captor/captive type of romance, so if that's your cup of tea, definitely read it and rant to me! This book broke me towards the end in all the right ways! The ANGST >>> If you want angst in a mafia romance, read this! Remo is very much deranged, I want you to think of a mix of Damon Salvatore from TVD and Klaus Mikaelson from The Originals. This is my favorite couple so far
