A Debt Created
Vivienne Russo is plunged into a nightmare when her late husband’s boss, Don Alessandro Greco, demands repayment of a debt that she had no part in creating. Despite her reservations, she has no choice but to accept his terms.
As she struggles with her new reality, Vivienne finds herself drawn to the young Don. He is unlike anyone she has ever met before with a commanding presence and dangerous allure. She finds herself being pulled deeper and deeper into his life, despite her best efforts to resist.
The Don is intrigued by Vivienne’s strength and defiance. He finds himself drawn to her beauty and fierce independence, and is determined to keep her safe from the violence that surrounds them.
But even Alessandro's power and influence cannot protect Vivienne from the brutal reality of his world. Violence and betrayal lurk around every corner, and Vivienne begins to question whether she belongs in his dark and dangerous world.

Review: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Spice: 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️
POV: Dual
Ending: Cliff Hanger
Controlling/Possessive Don MMC, Don Alessandro Greco
Naïve/fiery FMC, Vivienne Valiente
Not going to lie at 50% I almost DNF this book because I was sick of both characters, but I’m glad I continued because the suspense and action picked up drastically.
Vivienne wife of Angelo, whom works for Don Greco. She soon becomes a widow when Angelo is murdered by a rival family during an outside deal gone wrong.
Alessandro, also known as Don Greco. He’s obsessed with Vivienne and has been since he first saw her on the arm of Angelo. After Angelo’s death, he is determined to have Vivienne as his lover.
The story moves pretty fast. It’s almost an instalust between the two of them because one minute she she’s a grieving widow and 6 months later she’s Alessandro’s companion. Vivienne becomes Alessandro’s companion because of a debt that her husband created and never paid, she is the payment. He has been attracted to her, but she can’t deny the lust that she feels for him too. She has a decision to make if she wants to be with Alessandro, but before she can make the decision there is a hit on her life.
This is where the action and suspense increases. The Don cannot figure out who it is within the families that is trying to end Vivienne’s life and start a war with his family. We are introduced to Vivienne’s parents, get a better view of her sister, introduced to Alessandro’s siblings, as well as get a better view of Marcello(2nd in command) and Roberto.
After I changed my view on Alessandro’s after 50% of the book, the last 10% made me revert back to not liking him. How can one man be such a giant backside hole to someone her claims he loves. The cliffhanger wasn’t a total school, but I’m patiently waiting on the next book to see what happens with the pair.

This was Alessandro and Vivienne‘s book. Vivienne Russo is plunged into a nightmare when her late husband’s boss, Don Alessandro Greco, demands repayment of a debt that she had no part in creating. Despite her reservations, she has no choice but to accept his terms. As she struggles with her new reality, she finds herself drawn to the young Don.

It was an intriguing read. And am voluntarily leaving my review.

This is the first in a new series, and this is Alessandro and Vivienne’s story. Alessandro is the Don of the Greco mafia, and he is dangerous and commanding, and Vivienne, who is fiercely independent, is being held responsible for her late husband’s debt that she has no part in creating. This is a well written story which is an action packed, emotional roller coaster, with suspense, danger, intrigue, and twists, which leads to an unpredictable and steamy page turner.

An antihero who's obsessed with the heroine and can't stop thinking about her. Too bad the heroine doesn't want anything to do with him. A Debt Created is a mafia romance full of drama, twists and steam that kept the pages turning. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Tough times
When things get rough, life gets tougher. This book was a little disappointing because it was all about sex. They used sex instead of talking things out. In her mid twenties and talked and acted like a child.
At least one of the characters should've been mature in order for this story to come across stronger. I will read the next book hoping the story gather strength.

First in series. Ends in a cliffhanger.
Parts of this are good. Lots if steam and some action. Alessandro irks me at times. Vivienne whines about he won't tell her about his business, when she knows he's a Don. I will not finish this series.

A DEBT CREATED
I really liked the story. Alessandro and Vivienne are an interesting couple. I had a hard time liking Vivienne. She was emotionally immature and behaved that way. Alessandro was a decent guy. Calm and thoughtful. Half way through there is plenty of action. This is a steamy romance with open door scenes. It ends with a soft cliffhanger. I look forward to the next book.
