Reposting original review from 2013 because GR deleted it...

I tried to take this story seriously and that just left me frustrated. The heroine (take that with a large grain of salt) was ridiculous and constantly contradicting herself. The hero (get some more salt, I'll wait...) was bi polar with a borderline personality. All of the supporting characters were either annoying or one note. I started reading it like a Shakespearean comedy and it was hilarious! The taming of the Don! For that I give it two stars.

What are we going to do about Diego and Marcella? They are both a hot mess. He is beyond controlling, going into abusive. She is selfish, withholding, and almost has you justifying his crazy. Yet I could not put this book down, and loved every bit of it. Both did things that would have me DNFing a book written by someone else. We all know Sienna Mynx has that IR good-good.

Obviously anyone reading my review so far knows this might not be big with some of my friends looking for low angst. That being said, if you’re open to a little over the top, soapy drama, dive on in.

[Ansu · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really, really wanted to like this book but it was not happening. Marcella had "just to subborn to live" syndrome and she drove me crazy. I like Diego, he was strong and powerful and this carried over from book 1 into book 2 but Marcella wanted to turn him into her whipping boy which I did not like. Her stubborness went too far that it became too much to read, you either love the guy and make it work or you walk away, not love him and still walk away. I just wish authors would write a story where the heroine actually wants to be there and not be forced and constantly pushed into a relationship!. A very disappointing read, I did not finish this one as I could not take any more of Marcella and her constant running away from the problems that she made bigger because she was soo perfect!!.

[Sexyladi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now this was a very good story.

Love it much better than the first book, loved the first and secondary characters. Diego's mother was something else, there was love, drama, misunderstanding, violence and a cleansing. I love Sienna Mynx books the first book was okay but the second I couldn't put down. I do recommend this series became everyone has their own opinion and theirs could be different from mine.

And Diego has no idea that Marcella is carrying his child. When the two finally come face to face Marcella flee's the scene its too much to bare.

Diego tries to convince Marcella that he can change his controlling, strong willed ways and love her. But because actions speak louder than words Marcella is not convinced. When Diego snaps after he discovers Marcella's secret he does the unthinkable. He kidnaps Marcella.

My Ratings
Characters- Likeable
Writing Style- Good
Plot/Storyline- Suspenseful and Savory
Overall- A goodread!

I love the writing. Sienna is a good writer but as for the book itself. I hated it. I found the characters annoying for the most parts. Especially the two main characters. Marcella was spineless a lot of the time and seemed to develop Stockholm syndrome.

Diego, I hated him. He had a hard life, I sympathise with that side of him but he's also a very abusive man. It's just not cute. This was supposed to centre around dark themes so I took that into consideration. The only thing I didn't like was how the writer (and some reviewers here) were implying Marcella overreacted or was being difficult in some instances. A man stalks you after you've ended the relationship, from one country to another, kidnaps you and your friend and holds you against your will! You have no contact with the outside world and you're held in one room whilst pregnant. Then he later proceeds to plan a wedding 2 weeks after kidnapping you without even asking? SHE WASNT OVERREACTING! He was abusive and more than a little unhinged. I didn't even like the obligatory 'happy ending' because the theme was too dark with Diego's character. It just seemed to glamourise an abusive relationship. All the things he did were not romantic or 'understandable' because he's sexy, loves her and had a hard life. Abuse is abuse.


The sex scenes were good, character development was fine and the story was well written.

[Veevy]

I'll give it a 2/5 the ending was the only thing I realy liked about the book because there was some character development and some closure and truth. But honestly, I don't know how I feel about this book overally. Marcella comes second on my list to Anastacia Steele (50 Shades) of lead characters I dislike. How can a lead character be so spineless like that??? Their relationship with Diego was sick and twisted and outright absurd and only made sense until the very end. The misogyny in this book was more than I could take. The way the men treated women in this book was just wrong. Diego's single minded obsession with Marcella was unjustifiable, I didn't feel the romance or the transformation that came with the relationship. Diego was condescending, abusive and was a paranoid sociopath. I tried to feel sorry for him but I just couldn't because a lot of things he did really didn't make sense. And like I said,
This is definitely not Sienna's best offering. It left me really disappointed. I skipped a hell lot of pages just to get done with the book because honestly I couldn't stand any of the characters in there. I only liked them right at the end, maybe because they got their brains back and I was just happy to see them all go.

I have read both this book and the previous book in the series. They were absolutely awesome. Just the way I like my books. Dark, alluring, erotic, sexy tortured hero, multicultural, clever, intelligent, heroine who is not a whimper and does use her brain, other sexy and interesting characters.

I am not going to give a full review, but it was a riveting read. In fact I could not put either of the two books down and read each in one sitting and went to bed at 3.30 am and 5.00 am respectively.

No typos could be found. Excellent editing. Everything made sense.

I can only highly recommend that you get this series.

[TJ · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting take on the dominate alpha male however Marcella was too quick to forgive. Everyone deserves a second chance however I dont know if I could handle anyone making every decision for me then make up some elaborate story just so he could kidnap me. I like my heros to be dominate not a dictator! Although Diego's mother was quite a character.

[LastBreath · Rating 2 out of 5]

I haven't been this frustrated in ages.

At times the lead female, hell the entire cast, seemed TSTL. Then just as I'm about to give up we're offered up a twist that begs attention. But it too becomes predictable. I would have been ok with this book if it wasn't driven by lust and a morbid sense of justice.

[Sharon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Diego came and conquered in this book. Love will make you do incredible things and he showed Marcella and everyone else for that matter what it's like

[Brianna Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

ok, so let me say.. this book!!!

GOOD: the good of this book is that i can fully say that it was 100% better than then the first one! i am so in love with the character Diego Andes. his character is dominate, damaged, possessive man that is so in love with Marcella, he is able to over come so many things as long as he has her, because of his love for her and her love for him she has made him a better man, a changed man. Marcella is a different women when she is with Diego but she is so in love with him, she is eventually able to find a balance of who she used to be and the love she has for the love of her life, Diego. Each character, that i found at lest was important and play important roles in the book was able to change for the better, and things started to get better this book had so many ups and downs and is full of drama!

At first, once i started reading the book i wanted to say that i hated the character Marcella, i found her to be selfish and unbearable annoying, to then realize that she isn't half bad. She didn't like who she was becoming when she was with Diego, so she felt that she couldn't continue a relationship with the man. i felt as the the character hadn't truly voiced her concerns at the beginning of the book to Diego, where it just felt as though she was torturing him for reasons he didn't understand. Thorough out the book she she changed which had my opinion of her change as well. i found that i did truly dislike Susan - Marcella's best friend she was just annoying and kind of unnecessary, after all her insisting marcella to stay away from these men -though Marcella didn't listen - knowing that marcella actually had real feelings for Diego, was in love with Diego, Susan was in the end STILL unable to leave Diego's best and only friend friend alone, based on feelings of lust. i honestly found her to be a annoying buzz in Marcella's ear constantly in both books, didn't like her one bit.

rating B+

Marcella Garcia and Diego Andes are like oil and water. She’s a professional employed at a Washington State art gallery. She is efficient on her job at acquisitioning rare works of art.

Marcella bumps into handsome, charismatic Diego Andes by chance after meeting with his stepfather, concerning ancient Egyptian funerary. Diego, a savvy businessman, with previous ties with the South American underworld, had taken possession of his stepfather’s businesses in Washington.

This is the most unlikely couple. Marcella is intelligent and emotionally resilient. She’s flexible and has rebounded from a former boyfriend’s deception. She is optimistic and has a small cadre of friends she socializes with. Likewise, Diego is sharply intelligent. Yet he is a product of a tragic past, which deprives him of sensitivity and leaves him distrustful. He is hot-blooded. And although aloof, he displays charm, and skillful manipulation.

The two become seized in a scintillating, explosive, sexual relationship. The relationship intoxicates both. Diego demands Marcella spend more time with him. Marcella yields and loses her bearing at work and with friends. He is not like any other. She is hooked. Subsequently, he too is captivated by the power of her enduring love.

But there is deception and tragedy. The antagonist is a venomous spider, Diego’s mother, Marie.

I would have liked more twists in the story. For instance, Garrett, Sam or Lance could have been deceptive characters. Also, as writers, we sometimes make mistakes in our prose. The editor literally crossed out extra words in the story. I am sure this was embarrassing for the writer. Despite this, I enjoyed the books as a guilty pleasure.

(MI CARINA DIEGO'S WRATH)is my first interracial romance and i must say what a start, at first i did'nt like dieg'os controlling behaviour and when he kidnaped marcella my first thougt was this man is dangerous then i realize his mother is the dangerous one.
my two favourite part was when marcella was trying to escape and end up in a computer room and diego was on the bed looking in the camera and winked i laugh my head off and the other part was after marcella hurt herself in the woods, he realize he almost lose marcella and the baby, and start to open up about his past

when diego was crying i realize how much he love marcella his anger and contorlling demeanour has to stop if he want to keep his marcella.

diego's mother gives me the chills, now thats a mother inlaw from hell
getting her husband killed so that she can marry a rich man,
when diego was little he saw what his mother have done and ran away with his sister and baby brother,taking care of his younger siblings was hard, got bitter after losing his sister and brother
alone in a cold murderous world force him in the mafia to take down his mother and her husband ,diego grew up to be cold ,angry and bitter
not knowing what it's like to be loved all changes when marcella came into is life

[D.lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

I truly enjoyed this book. Although I hated Diego at first, for being to controlling and overbearing. He grew on me and my heart really went out to him. Marcella was his match in wills and stubbornness. They had so much to overcome and his past was so abusively dark, its a wonder that he could feel at all. I have read about some despicable mothers in the past, however right now I think Marie holds the crown for most despicable. She got exactly what she deserved. You definitely had to respect Diego's gangster.
There were so many layers that had to be pealed away to get to the heart of the man who was Diego, however I believe it was worth it. He loved hard and he never an anyone to teach him how to channel his emotions.
I would like to know about about Lance and Susan's relationship. I was left with many questions about their relationship. Lance was even more emotionally guarded than Diego, although his temper wasn't always at one degree shy of boiling over. All in all it was a good read and I do recommend it, however if you read it you have keep in mind that Diego can appear to be very heartless, however his is also loyal and loveable.

[Iamme · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm glad I persevered with the first book because this end sequel was everything. My issue with the way the first story flowed was non existent in this. I loved it and literally devoured it from beginning to end.

Diego was ever loveable in this, but his lies and manipulative ways were a strong feature in this. There is no denying that he loved Marcella, however in love there should be no need for manipulation. Needless to say despite his many flaws, his need for control at the very top I must say he was a likeable character.

As for Marcella she really tried in this. I felt that in the first book she gave up too easily, I think with her knowledge and experience she was able to better understand Diego and be more patient. I can't imagine how it must feel wanting something when everyone around you is so against it. It's a hard choice, do what you want/feel is best for you. Or do you follow the status quo.

I must say the introduction of this story is one of the best I have ever read. So unexpected, I was hit with drama from the very beginning. I loved loved loved it

I have now read the Mi Carino Series – I won’t give away the story. I know Kerry Fonville you did not like Diego much. I actually liked him and I was rooting for him the whole time. I am always for the couple no matter what and I am usually on the woman’s side but I found in this story I was for Diego all the way!! He needed Marcella to teach him how to love because he did not really know how to because of his past! He wanted her to teach him because he did not know how to love her the way she wanted. I liked Marcella but I felt she was hard on Diego with her exceptions of him. This is only my view I am sure there are lots of other views about this story, we all take different things from what we read.

Great series. Sienna Mynx is my author of the month and I would recommend this series!

[Bonita · Rating 4 out of 5]

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! I LOVED DIEGO!!!! Finally, I've found another Sienna Mynx book that rates up there with Harmony! I could give this book 10 stars if allowed. Maybe I shouldn't have but I found Diego's controlling ways to be a turn-on. It was right in line with my idea of latin men and what woman doesn't want her man to take control...at least sometimes? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved that Marcella fought him at every turn which was also a turn-on to him. The added element of "darkness" was also enjoyable to me but throughout the story, love reigns supreme. These two characters really fought for their love and I enjoyed every single moment of this unfolding!!! GREAT BOOK!

[Leiera Monae · Rating 4 out of 5]

Man, that Diego Andes is a force to be reckoned with.

We really see his true (dark) colors in Book 2, up close and personal.

Marcella got on my nerves in this one. She was too stubborn for me to tolerate. I mean, yes, Diego was a bit off his hinges, but damn!

And note to the author: I am intrigued (and simultaneously hot and bothered) by Lance. Any chance for a novel(la) about him and Susan? They became such a big part of the plot in Book 2, that I found myself wanting to get lost in their story as well. There just always seemed to be something simmering below the surface of their relationship. A story of their own to be told.

Anywho. . .great series. I wouldn't mind reading more about this couple and their life after all that drama.

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Diego's Wrath was indeed felt in this installment. It was almost as if he turned into some type of animal when it came to Marcella. He went to grave lengths to protect her, and to make sure she stayed with him; which at times seemed admirable, and other times crazy! These two had an extremely tumultuous relationship, which just made the book even more spicier. In the bedroom...wow, there are no words to explain the fire these two had. I surely wouldn't mind reading a story about Lance and Susan. We know they are involved throughout the story, but we really don't know all the much about the relationship, so that story line has left me intrigued. This is another win from Sienna Mynx.

[Sonya · Rating 5 out of 5]

So hot that it almost burned up my ipad and I definitely burned my dinner-because I could not stop reading it! The lovely and talented Sienna Mynx has done it again-what a man! What a man! Reading this book made me burn my dinner I was so engrossed . Leading man Diego is fiery, passionate and keeps what is his! Not since Gio Battaglia have I fallen in love so quickly with such an amazing and complex character. Run don't walk to grab this book and when you are done read it again! Sienna knows how to tell a story and this one had me gasping in shock and flipping the page as fast as i could to see what happens next. A must have for your Sienna Mynx library!

[Bennita · Rating 3 out of 5]

Can you say dysfunctional relationship? Holy crap! I kept putting the book down out of frustration, but kept going back to it because it was that train wreck you just couldn't look away from. She wants him then she hates him. This book was definitely an emotional roller coaster. Diego was the ultimate alpha male but he took things too far sometimes. He just didn't seem to learn his lesson and Marcella gave off so many mixed signals, my brain couldn't keep up. Overall I think this was a good read- full if drama and betrayal and hot sex. What more could you ask for?

[Felicia R · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW...the second book, just the best

I loved this story, I am asking myself why did I wait so long to read it, both the main characters were very special people, I am serious, they loved each other so much, he would walk away finally knowing both of their hearts broke, so much I could say how much I loved the book, however at work highly, highly recommend for the late bloomers like me, you will not put it down until finished I would like one more part three, you know living life normally from him and Lance, loved it x10.

[Angelia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed this more than the first one.....Diego tried very hard to change for Marceela to be the man she wanted and need him to be....but in the end Marcella had to be trutful with herself and relize the kind of man she feel in love with and that was the man she wanted and needed to be with.....Granted Diego took some things a bit far......but he really did love her....Glad things worked at the end cause I really didn't know what was coming next....

[Beth Evant · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed Mi Carina - Diego's Wrath very much. Boy, Diego is a MAD MAN!!! He is the definition of crazy. He did so many crazy things that he became hilarious.

Marcella annoyed me most of the series. Her friend, Susan made terrible decisions that Marcella should not have listened to. I was left with questions concerning Susan and Lance's relationship.

I enjoyed the drama though. The sex scenes were HOT. The ending was perfect.

I highly recommend this series.

[Hez · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the way Sienna writes her men. They are all alpha and will do every and anything in their power to keep and protect their women. That's exactly the case with Diego and Marcella. He's arrogant yes but he loved her. His story made me tear up. Others parts had me all teary eyed as well. So glad I read this series. Lance is my side line boo... Just saying :D.... Susan was a trip and Garrett wasn't backward. Great read.

This read has just rank as number one on my favorite books status. Ms Sienna was true to her word far as book being explicit. also i notice there were a lot give and there between the heroine and hero. but what really had linger was the end of the story I guess what some about love is true love make you do some crazy thing lol.

[Marisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great conclusion to Marcella and Diego's love story. It was action packed and took them through a journey of love, pain, violence and heartache. Moving and earth shattering these two love like no one else. Good work Sienna, though there were still grammar problems. The story was one that kept you riveted.

I still dont know what to say about this series you know she should not be with him but i was sad when he finally stood up for her and did what was right. Although she didnt want him to do that but it turned out alright in the end.
