Cavalieri Billionaire Legacy #3
Secrets of the Brother
We were not meant to be together… then a dark twist of fate stepped in, and we're the ones who will pay for it.
As the eldest son and heir of the Cavalieri name, I inherit a great deal more than a billion dollar empire.
I receive a legacy of secrets, lies, and scandal.
After enduring a childhood filled with malicious rumors about my father, I have fallen prey to his very same sin.
I married a woman I didn't love out of a false sense of family honor.
Now she has died under mysterious circumstances.
And I am left to play the widowed groom.
For no one can know the truth about my wife…
Especially her sister.
The only way to protect her from danger is to keep her close, and yet, her very nearness tortures me.
She is my sister in name only, but I have no right to desire her.
Not after what I have done.
It's too much to hope she would understand that it was all for her.
It's always been about her.
Only her.
I am, after all, my father's son.
And there is nothing on this earth more ruthless than a Cavalieri man in love.
If you love the dark and twisted romantic suspense of Natasha Knight, A. Zavarelli, Charmaine Pauls, and Anna Zaires you will love this series!
Secrets of the Brother continues the steamy, enemies to lovers drama of the Cavalieri men with Enzo and Bianca's story, and follows more of the tempestuous love affairs of Barone and Amara and Cesare and Milana.

When her sister, Renata, dies unexpectedly, Bianca Moretti is forced to leave the safety of NYC and return home to Italy.
Having had his future ripped away once before, Enzo Cavalieri refuses to spend another day without the love of his life now that she’s returned to their hometown.
As the Cavalieri family saga continues, lies are uncovered, greed is exposed, and hearts are mended. Before all is said and done, more hardship will befall the dynasty.
What is there to say except that Zoe has done it again? I am so invested in this family, this town. Even with a sense for the direction of the story I was taking, I still hung on every word. And true to form, when you think everything is about to be wrapped up with a nice, neat bow, whabam! 💣

unexpectedly surprising, spoilers below please skip if you're not into them
3.5 ⭐
Wow, I never thought that I'll finish this let alone enjoy the story, but I did and that really surprised me.
Overall, I had fun reading this and I didn't expect to like it. It was good, I liked this better than the book 1 and I never got to finish book 2.
-------- Previous thoughts on the book --------
i think, no, i definitely know this book will piss me off just the like the second one, but i'll still try to read this even though this includes the tropes i hated the most. what does that even say about me? 🤦♀️
- second chance
- H and h were the OG couple but something went wrong along the way and the H married the h's sister. 🤮
- h was heartbroken and left the country to move on (who wouldn't???)
- h's sister died and she went to the funeral (why though?? i'm a grudge holder sue me 🙄)
- H finally decide to make the h his permanently by keeping her in their vineyard (knowing this is Ms. Blake's book, I'm assuming there'll be a lot of dubcon/noncon in this one)

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trope: second chance
Angst: 😱😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fracking fantastic! Bianca Moretti has stayed away from Italy, away from her family, and away from Enzo Moretti, the man she had loved. Her sister is now dead and everyone believes it was Enzo. The man Bianca was in love with when her sister stole him from her when she seduced him and got pregnant. But everything is not as it seems. There are secrets and lies to be uncovered, but one thing is for sure: Enzo is not going to let Bianca get away this time. Even if she doesn't agree.
I'm really loving this new series by Zoe and it's been getting better and better with each book! Zoe does not disappoint with Enzo and the lengths he will go to in order to keep Bianca by his side. Totally over the top alpha behavior, lol, but Zoe knows her readers and that's what we're here for 🤷🏻♀️. The storyline was interesting, fast paced, and had a lot of romantic suspense elements that held my interest till the end. The smexy times were super hot - Bianca definitely wanted to make Enzo fight for her and fight he did. If you're a sensitive reader, this may not be for you with its copious amounts of dubcon. Secrets of the Brother does end on a series cliffy, despite our couple getting a HEA and I LOVED the breadcrumbs for the next book!

lordddddd!!!!! This book was so good I was wondering why Enzo would marry that witch but we finally get his story and it picks up right at the end of book 2, Bianca slapping the crap out of him and trying to move on from being broken hearted by Enzo months ago when he made his choice. I was so glad she stood her ground, not letting him gain an inch!! But girl had her moments when she did give in. Bianca family are douches. I kinda wish Enzo did something to them, but he was already under a watchful eye since he was under investigation for murdddderrr!!
The moments between Enzo and Bianca were so good. Exs with good banter and some angry sex!! Lorddd mercy, the spice was delicious. I was fanning myself in the airplane reading this hehee.
I did wish the woman bonded more together.. but can understand Bianca not wanting to trust them because who they married with her past with Enzo.
THAT ENDING!!! im... WTFFFF... and WE GET ANOTHER BOOK!

“Real love. True love. Is not fit for poetry. It is vicious and ugly. It is a jealous, possessive, spiteful beast that claws and tears at your insides when separated from its other half. 💋
What to expect from reading Secrets of the Brother the third book in Zoe Blake's Cavalieri billionaire legacy series..... Learning some Italian √ Gaining weight because every food she describes makes you hungry so you make it √ You suddenly have a need to be called baby girl or my treasure √ You enjoy getting your ass spanked by a gorgeous alpha male who's decided to embrace his true legacy and nails you everywhere including the church!√ These Cavalieri men just keep better and better!!! I can't believe I'm saying this..... While daddy Barone will always have a special place in my dark kinky heart because I love sexy older men! Enzo is my new crush!!! In the first two books we saw a little about him but out of the three so far he's the most intense and a total throw back to his ancestors with a conquering vibe and dark desires!!! When Bianca comes home for her sister Renata's funeral once again she's confronted by the man who broke her heart and wants nothing to do with Enzo, but he's having none of it! He let the love of his life get away once but he'll be damned if it will happen again! The chemistry between these two is deliciously dark and it's not too long before Enzo steps over the line and takes what he wants!!! Bianca is firecracker with a mouth like a sailor and is strong and if possible even more of a handful then Milana and that's saying a lot!! But she more then a match for Enzo! He knows what his baby girl secretly wants and needs and that's to be totally dominated by her man!! Zoe hinted at a big twist and cliffhanger were happening at the end. And she wasn't kidding!!! I think I said NO!!!! And "Are You Fucking Kidding Me!!!! " And I might or might not have called Zoe Blake a b*tch! How could you do that to me!! Ya I know its not about me but still😂
But that just goes to show how fabulous a writer she is!!! I can't wait to see what happens next! Until next time Luv's💕💋
“The moment you realize you’re not battling their hate, you’re battling their pain, a pain you caused, fuck… that’s the moment you fight like hell to make it right, to heal the hurt.”

4 - 4.5 stars!
Bianca Moretti returns home to Italy from NYC to attend her sister Renata's funeral. But coming back means opening up old wounds from the past in the form of Enzo Cavalieri. When Enzo sets his eyes on Bianca, he intends on righting the wrongs of the past and finally making Bianca his.
Enzo knows he and Bianca have a painful past and all the wrongs must be righted for them to forge a future. But Bianca wants nothing to do with the man that betrayed her heart and soul. Or does she?
These two are have a long way to go to get their HEA but Enzo is willing to fight for them. Is Bianca? Even in the quest to win Bianca back, lies and plots are exposed and something deadly is looming on the horizon. The Cavalieri dynasty will have to weather it together!
I am so immersed in this world and these men with their women. This was fast paced, steamy and action packed with bread crumbs for so much more. I can't wait.
Secrets of the Brother was not my favorite of this series...Amara and Barone hold that spot followed by Cesare and Milana but Enzo and Bianca had their own unique brand of love. It baffled me a little why a Cavalieri man would
That isn't a typical Zoe alpha male trait but once he did get his hands on Bianca he steamrolled his way back into her heart in the hottest ways. We also learned that while he felt like he was doing his duty, he kept eyes on Bianca at all times. So can I really complain? Overall, I loved this and the intricate and steamy world Zoe has created.

Why I outta…….
Anyone who has read my reviews, knows in all certainty, that “Cliffy” and I are not friends. So it’s no stretch to anyone’s imagination that I’m laying here in the dark, trying not to wake my man, growling at this ending.
All that aside, I was literally fighting sleep because I HAD to finish this book. Although I’m thoroughly annoyed that I don’t have the next one to dive into , I’m wondering if everyone one else is in love with Aunt Gabriella like I am and wishing she was their Aunt too?!?!
This story had my heart racing, my anxiety tweaking, a wee bit of tears, some steam and a WHOLE lot of shock and awe!
Serious book hangover. My mind is spinning at the possibilities of what is coming next!

Zoe Blake does croony dubcon very well 😳🥵.
The first book in this series is still my favourite (I think the male narrator suits the older Daddy character better), but this one also made me blush while listening to the audiobook. It gave bodice ripper vibes, except make it Italian winemaker and mafia adjacent. My review does not mention the plot because I didn’t read it for the plot. 😅

Why did I think this was a trilogy?! Lmao. It’s NOT! The series continues! I’m glad but it was totally unexpected with THAT insane cliffhanger!
This is Enzo and Bianca’s love story.
Bianca is the sister of Enzo’s awful dead wife.
You see, Enzo and Bianca were lovers first until her sister manipulated Enzo into a marriage. She’s gone. And Enzo wants that second chance even if Bianca wants nothing to do with him.
But he’s a Cavalieri and if we know one thing about this family of men, they take the women they want and bend their will.
“He was a poisoned wine I was slowly killing myself with…sip by sip.
A delicious dark pain, like a sick pleasure you got from pressing on a bruise. I had twisted and tangled myself in the chains that now bound me to him.”
It’s a push and pull until Bianca relents. She’s always loved him but he broke her heart before. She won’t let it happen again.
We also have a mystery on our hands. Who was behind Milana’s near death experience? Behind the Valentine note?
While we receive some answers, new ones arise. A cliffhanger that tortures us. And another mystery will unravel in the next book!

I feel like a three is being generous with this book, but I enjoyed how it wrapped up so many questions from book two and the time Bianca spent standing her ground against Enzo. That’s pretty much it 😅.
I had some major issues with Enzo in book two and honestly he didn’t make it better in this one. It’s the same thing over and over and over with Bianca. He forces himself on her telling her she’s his, she says no, then the noncon comes in. Literally this is the whole. entire. book. The reason why the dominance worked for book two was because the H didn’t actually do the things the h thought he did. Enzo actually DID hurt Bianca and married her sister. Which is another thing, this woman was able to drug you and claim you hooked up, but wasn’t capable of faking a pregnancy? He got no proof of his own merit (it was all produced by Renata), he got no DNA test done of his own merit, he didn’t even have proof they had intercourse (spoiler, they didn’t).
This was one of those times where the situation called for lots and lots of grovel, especially with what Bianca’s family had put her through. We got 0 of that, just him being “dominant” and forcing her to like whatever he’s doing to her. Again, sometimes that really works for a story, and sometimes (like here) it doesn’t. It didn’t feel believable. The ending was insanely rushed and their relationship was weirdly resolved. Like did I miss it? One minute she’s trying to go back to New York the next she’s engaged to him?
Now I’m all for dark romance and dubcon/noncon but only when it’s enjoyable/serves its purpose to the heroine too. I’m sorry but if you’re planning a back door scene, PLEASE don’t use a bar of soap as lubricant and please don’t make it unrealistic. There’s nothing spicy about knowing a character is physically being hurt by not being prepped by someone who is supposed to “love” her. I truly didn’t feel that even in their spicy scenes, which was a huuuge part of the book and a huge bummer. I just don’t think Enzo was punished nearly enough for what he did to Bianca. You can have a dom character like Enzo, but given the situation he was in we REALLY needed to see his feelings and soft side more.
Also, why was Bianca able to say no to Enzo repeatedly (even for him to just force intercourse immediately afterwards) but not her parents? There were so many secrets kept between all the characters in this book it got annoying. I was really looking forward to this one but Cesare’s story still reigns supreme in this series.

I’m sorry but if you’re planning a back door scene, PLEASE don’t use a bar of soap as lubricant and please don’t make it unrealistic. There’s nothing spicy about knowing a character is physically being hurt by not being prepped by someone who is supposed to “love” her. I truly didn’t feel that even in their spicy scenes, which was a huuuge part of the book and a huge bummer. I just don’t think Enzo was punished nearly enough for what he did to Bianca. You can have a dom character like Enzo, but given the situation he was in we REALLY needed to see his feelings and soft side more.
Also, why was Bianca able to say no to Enzo repeatedly (even for him to just force intercourse immediately afterwards) but not her parents? There were so many secrets kept between all the characters in this book it got annoying. I was really looking forward to this one but Cesare’s story still reigns supreme in this series.

I mean, Zoe never disappoints. I love that little curveball she snuck in; she was like, Sike, it's not a trilogy anymore. *inserts Zoe's evil laugh* I love her writing, and her men are always such possessive, obsessive alphaholes. The mouth on Enzo was filthy. What I wouldn't give for him to bend me over and teach me a lesson. 😈
I am so glad we finally get Enzo's story. I knew something had to be off when he married that awful, horrible woman, Renata, but the cat is out of the bag, and we finally know the truth.
Now that Renata is dead, Enzo Cavalieri wants the one girl he should have always been with, Bianca.
The only problem is that Bianca wants nothing to do with him. Their fighting, banter, and sexual tension were everything, and the spice, oh my, it was HOT! I feel like hate s3x is on another level; it's just top tier!! 🔥🔥
Zoe knows how to drop a 💣 I can't believe that ending!! I need Seduction of the Patriarch NOW! I love that she extended this series because I am DEVOURING this world, and I can't wait for the next two books.

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**Must read other two books in the series for the continuing storyline
Enzo
Bianca
Bianca is Enzo’s sister in law. His dead wife’s sister. That’s right. This one is a forbidden love trope.
Aunt Gabriella is a great character. I love the way she is always in all the guys business but walks around in her designer clothes with her cigarettes like she’s not paying attention. This woman is sharp even when she’s drunk she is paying attention more than they expect. She also has these men wrapped around her little finger.
This one is super spicy and intense!
Dub con
Non con
J/P hero (Super jealous)
A scene inside a church that will make you blush 😳🤭
Angry smex (Zoe’s the best at this)
Βrεεdιηg fθrced
Forbidden love (dead sister’s husband)
Second chance romance
V-card heroine
🍑 δεχ
Breath play with a belt 😳
Sραηκιηg
Biting
High speed car chase that almost gave me a heart attack
Bianca was nuts and for good reason
We are used to unhinged heroes but this heroine was unhinged
Toxic was not a strong enough word to describe these two and I loved it 😈
They were riddled with anger and pain. Bianca’s pain leapt off of the page.
Their love was all consuming
He fυcκεd her into submission 😈🤭
These were just some of the things that you will encounter in this book. It’s an experience!
I love that this series is set in Italy at the family’s Winery. This book was action packed and so intense. The sεχ was intense. Like Olympic sports intense. It was packed with danger, lies, secrets, and everything that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
We also get to see past characters Amara, Barone, Cesare, and Milana. Also more Aunt Gabriella which is my favorite side character!
This book left me paralyzed. I was finished and thinking about it and when I looked at the clock again 41 minutes had passed. I literally hadn’t realized that the time had passed. Most books that I finish I move on to the next one immediately but this one just left me paralyzed. I don’t know any other word to describe it.
If you want a couple who has to fight tooth and nail …..If you want a hero who can takes what he wants and won’t take no for an answer…..If you want a book that will make you feel all the feels…… this is the book! It’s not an easy path but it’s a journey that you will remember for years to come. Zoe Blake has done it again. This book and this entire series is not one you that want you want to miss!

I'm usually hesitant about second chance tropes, especially when the premise is the H marrying another woman, but it's a double yikes when it's the sister- but Enzo and Bianca's story was just *chef's kiss*. Enzo is easily my favorite of the Cavalieri men.
If you're like me and you stay away from second chances because of cheating and OW/OM drama, I would suggest reading Enzo's chapters in book two. There is a lot of insight that sets this story up.
This book literally checked ALL of my boxes and MORE for second chances, I can't really get into it without revealing spoilers so continue at your own discretion:
Some things I found silly but weren't deal breakers for me
One thing I wish I saw more of were more softer and sweeter moments between Enzo and Bianca. The scene when he was washing her hair made me turn into goo.
I just adored the scene at the cafe with Milana and Bianca. Milana's POV was so funny and Bianca was so naive and clueless pouring her little heart out LOL.
Honorable mention for my bestie Aunt Gabriella, I want to be her when I grow up. I hope she gets her own book or even a novella.

Ten stars for this latest one by Zoe Blake! Blake always delivers a fabulous story. We are taken back to the Cavaliers Vineyards as we watch Enzo and Bianca’s story unfold. This was a fast paced wild ride of intrigue and romance that sets the pages on fire. I could not put it down! And readers, what a frustration with the epilogue! Blake you are truly evil😈! You give a nail biting book and leave us hanging! Excellent read… can’t wait for the next installment in this series!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

3 stars✨ enzo and bianca
just think a little bit... would you take a book with this quote seriously?
He raised his fist and slammed it down on the hood of the Ferrari so hard he dented it. As he did so, he let out a primal roar, like an anguished beast. I screamed and ran.
the first two books - barone and cesare's - were the best!! so much better than this one........ i'm giving 3 stars cause 1) the mistery behind all this series is really good and got me questioning everything 2) i'm already part of the family
but i hated enzo (not really hated just like indifference). he was rude, he was obsessed (and not in the hot way) and he was close-minded like he decides everything and didn't listen to bianca at all.
there is a scene when she speaks about a trip she wants to do that would be good for her art and he goes "so we are totally doing my thing" and completely ignores her ?????????? anyway. the next book sounds promising but i won't be reading it for now.

I couldn't wait to read Bianca and Enzo's story after that slap at the end of Sins of the Brother. My heart cried for how Bianca's heart was trampled on by Renata's deceit and Enzo's sense of honor. In case you haven't read the first two (which you should before reading this or you'll be a bit lost) Bianca and Enzo dated and were crazy about each other until Bianca's sister, Renata, sabotaged the relationship for power and money by tricking Enzo into marrying her. Luckily, Renata got was was coming to her ('cause fuck around and find out) and Enzo is determined to make Bianca's his again.
All I can say is that it was fantastic. Bianca's emotions were portrayed in a way that was easy to empathize with, which made it quite a wild ride with her trying to protect herself after being hurt so badly by Enzo the first time. We finally find the other players involved in the incident with Milana, and are introduced to a new hero which is fantastic since I was thinking this would just be a trilogy. Now I'm thinking we may have at least two more?
I'm a sucker for a hero saving the heroine from a bad situation while also being an overbearing, over the top, jealous but caring man hunk, and this scratched that itch tenfold. Plus, as always it was steamy AF, and damn do Zoe and her hero's belt make me *happy*.
The only thing I (embarrassingly) found myself skimming over was the chapter with Barone and Amara. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE them and it was spicy, but I was just itching to get back to Bianca and Enzo's story after Milana and her had their conversation. I did end up going back to reread it after and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was just so pulled into the main story in the moment that I couldn't keep focused.
I'm not even touching that ending cause I don't want to give spoilers, but if you're nervous because you've seen a lot of talk about the bomb that was dropped with no context, just know that Bianca and Enzo get their HEA.

Secrets. Lies. Betrayals. Murder. √
Super dominant no bullshite men. Yes it's plural cause it wasn't just Enzo but all Cavalieri men are super dominant with no bullshite take what he wants no matter what. √
Sweet with spice ladies with envious taste of fashion who are able to make all these men get down on their knees in the dirties way... Lol √
Aaaand the steamy scenes!
We got Savage deflowering √
We got rough and wet backstage performance √ lol
We got noncon play √
We got lots of shereded clothes √
We got forest theme raunchy super hotness √
And we got sex in a church with all the dirty filthy depraved scene! √ my favorite!
Lawwwd have mercy for this book made me realise I am not a monogamous girl when it come to Zoe's men.
Above everything though, I love the chemistry between Enzo and Bianca. They have gone through a lot with Bianca's family deceit. To see them fight to get their HEA...
“Real love. True love. Is not fit for poetry. It is vicious and ugly. It is a jealous, possessive, spiteful beast that claws and tears at your insides when separated from its other half..."
Oh one last important thing. This series definily need to be read in order. Although every book have their own couple, but their story are connected.

You know when a book is so good you slow down your reading so the book doesn’t end so fast? This is one of those books - it’s a banger!
Our story has been building since book one in the series, Scandals of the Father. Enzo’s wife Renata has been found dead, and he’s considered by most of the villagers to be the guilty party. Enzo never loved Renata, marrying her out of a sense of duty because he thought she was pregnant. He broke the heart of his true love, Renata’s younger sister Bianca. He knows they’re meant to be together, but there are other sinister forces at play.
This book is intense to the extreme. The passion between Enzo and Bianca burns up the pages and singes your fingers. The author does a phenomenal job of writing the tension between the two main characters and continuing the mystery which runs through these books. The world building is perfect, providing readers with the flavor and feeling of Italy. One of the things I like best is we continue to get the points of view of other characters who contribute to the story.
I highly recommend the Cavalieri Billionaire Legacy series. It’s top notch! Read and let me know what you think - I’d love to discuss.

The way he stared intently into my eyes as he pushed his cock deeper and deeper into my throat, inch by inch, stealing my breath, practically holding my life in his hands. It was an out-of-body experience. I felt nothing like myself. To be on my knees, sucking his cock like a wanton whore, in church? And yet, I'd never felt so connected to my body as I did in that moment
This is a story of second chances and forgiveness. The third book in the Cavalieri series didn’t disappoint. Enzo was all set that Bianca was for him until her sister got in the way and ruined all their plans. Now Enzo is done being a patient gentleman and Bianca no longer believes in fairytales or love.
Expect hurt me baby girl, touch her and die, you will dress like a nun, all the coffee and pasta porn, more Tori Amos, submit to his will, mother dearest and a special appearance from our latest Don Daddy and his upcoming book.
I could hear the entire Little Earthquakes album by Tori Amos playing in my head. It was the soundtrack to my breakup with him. My pain, confusion, and insecurities put to music.

Enzo and Bianca finally get their story and it is heartbreaking and devastating at times but also hopeful and inspiring.
This couple has been through so much. They had hopes and dreams and love and plans for the future but it was ripped away from them by some terrible people in their lives. Because they are both stubborn as well as honourable people, they pushed their own feelings to the side and gave up what they needed.
Now the tables have turned, the obligations are no longer there, but poor Bianca was devastated when Enzo broke her heart and is terrified to go through that again.
There was sensual moments galore, times of despair and desperation, but I was cheering for Enzo and Bianca to find their happy ever after
Secrets of the Brother was sensational and spectacular. Set in the vineyards in Italy, this story was rich in history and culture allowing the reader to feel immersed in the story through Zoe Blake’s descriptive words.
But that ending? Shocking and scary!

I couldn’t wait to read Enzo’s book. He’s intrigued me from the start of the series. He’s been a bit of a mystery. Being the oldest son, he’s put immense pressure on himself to carry on the Cavalieri name and uphold their reputation. Even if it meant breaking her heart to do what he thought was the right thing.
But the truth comes out. And I was waiting. WAITING for Enzo to unleash his beast. And it was glorious. He always did the right thing but still suffered for it over and over. The only good thing the death of this wife did was bring Bianca back into his life, his ex-girlfriend/sister in law. Bianca was back but she wasn’t exactly on board with any of what Enzo was planning. He showed her who he really was but also brought out who she really was too. We all know how Zoe’s men can be very…convincing. And handy with a belt. 👀
But that ending!! WHAT. Always so much drama with this family. 🤣 All I’m going to say is, I will be impatiently waiting for Benedict Cavalieri.

Holy Hotness!! You are just not prepared for this one, I know I wasn't. This book focuses on Enzo and Bianca's story and boy is it juicy!! Succulent drama, intense emotions, thick tension, stunning twists, jaw on the floor revelations and blistering heat create a seductive and consuming combination that grabbed me by the throat, stole my breath and had me squirming, swooning and falling hard. The overarching storyline of the series delivers some desperately wished for answers along with many enticing new scenes featuring the couples from the first two books. If you haven't started this series yet and you love dark, hot, twisted and kinky reads, you absolutely must dive into this series right now, because trust me, it will be your new addiction. It sure is mine. By my own accord I am posting a candid review.
July 14, 2023
Holy wow! I picked this book up and couldn’t put it down, there are really no words to describe how much I enjoyed this book. I liked Barone and Cesare but Enzo is a whole other level.
This story is not only smoking hot it’s fast paced and full of suspense that keeps you flipping the pages. If you’re familiar with this author you know she writes the most amazing MMC and the perfect FMC for them and these two are no different. This is Enzo’s second chance and he definitely does some groveling to win Bianca back!! My jaw is still on the floor from the last few chapters and that ending has me itching for the next book!

They just keep getting better and better!!! I LOVE these books!! The Italian backdrop, the food and wine descriptions, the characters, the spice- everything is chef’s kiss!!
I love these characters- and with each new book in the series I’m getting more and more invested in this story. I flew through this book at a record pace- and I loved every page.
Recommend if you are a fan of
✅ touch her and 💀
✅ alpha males who don’t take no as an answer
✅ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ well done spice
✅ a plot that keeps you guessing
This one ends in a cliff and I am very impatiently waiting for the next book!
