The Rosetti Family #1
Wicked Lies: Un romance mafioso con matrimonio forzado (La Familia Rosetti nº 1)
Eleanor
Nunca estuve destinada a ser libre. Mi padre se aseguró de ello, tratándome como uno de sus diamantes. Preciosa, pulida y encerrada hasta ser vendida al mejor Leonardo Rossetti, el hijo de sangre caliente de la familia criminal más despiadada de New York.
Nuestro matrimonio fue un acuerdo de negocios, nada más. Él lo dejó claro en el momento en que intercambiamos votos. No era su esposa, era su posesión. Un peón en el imperio de su familia.
Pero yo nunca fui el tipo de mujer que se deja poseer.
Leonardo tenía tres Nada de mentiras. Nada de huir. Nada de tocar a otros hombres. Las rompí todas.
Porque si pensaba que me sometería, estaba equivocado. Si creía que le temería, no me conocía en absoluto.
¿Pero el verdadero error? ¿Aquel que ninguno de los dos vio venir?
En algún momento entre las batallas y la furia, me enamoré del hombre que juré que nunca amaría.
Leonardo
Nunca quise una esposa. El amor es una debilidad que hombres como yo no pueden permitirse. Este matrimonio no se trataba de ella, sino de poder, de asegurar el control de mi familia sobre el comercio de gemas. Eleanor Price no era más que un medio para un fin.
Ella no estaba de acuerdo.
Me desafiaba a cada paso, poniendo a prueba mi paciencia, mis reglas, mi control. Mentía. Huía. Me empujaba más allá de mis límites. Y en lugar de quebrarse, hizo que la deseara aún más.
Me dije a mí mismo que era obsesión. Posesión. Que la forma en que la observaba, la manera en que necesitaba saber dónde estaba en todo momento, no tenía nada que ver con sentimientos.
Pero entonces alguien la amenazó.
Y aprendí de la manera difícil. Eleanor no es solo mi esposa. Es mía.

Es el cliché de la chica adinerada obligada a casarse con el mafioso pero cuando lo lees te das cuenta de que hay mucho más.
Eleonor es la heroína de su hermana haciendo todo lo que puede y Leonardo cumple con todas las tareas para con su familia y sin embargo, encuentra algo más preciado, su esposa.
Creo que ambos personajes combinan muy bien. Tiene spicy y algo de lágrimas. Entretenido y corto para pasar una buena tarde. Me gusta el tono de felices por siempre y que nos den un poquito de lo que se viene en el siguiente libro.

Me dio la sensación de leer algo mientras estaba frente a una chimenea. Es cálido, pero frío. Es elegante, pero también algo gracioso. Tiene la cantidad de Justo de spicy, acción, romance y al de comedia. Se sentía como si estuviera viendo una película antigua a blanco y negro. Me encantó absolutamente. Estoy ansiosa por leer el de Dom, y seguir viendo a Eleonor y Leo

2.5⭐ Sinceramente penso che sto libro ha buchi di trama, la storia non è lineare, passa da un evento ad un altro così dal nulla e non si capisce nulla. A tratti contraddittorio.
Non continuerò la serie, già tanto che ho portato a termine la lettura.

very boring
When I first saw this book, I was really looking forward to reading it. I thought that it would be a somewhat amusing but dark mafia story. It was not. At all! It was incredibly boring and I had to keep reminding myself to stay focused enough on a paragraph before going to the next. It was 99% deep philosophical inner dialogue. They acted like they completely had each other figured out - that it was a game of who cracks their composure first. Seriously, almost all of their interactions were by observing each other. No real communication. It also drove me nuts that Leo cracked his nuckles at least 3 times in every single one of his POV chapters. They sounded like gunshots apparently. 2/3rds of each chapter reworded itself. It was part of why I kept getting distracted. I would read a bit, lose focus, try to read some more but then get confused thinking that I must have been really distracted because I had just read what I was reading and I thought I had lost my place during my distractions. Nope. The author just keeps stating something and then says it again in 10 different ways. It was like me saying “I like pizza. Pizza is delicious. Pizza smells good. I like to put toppings on pizza. I like to eat pizza.” We get it. Pizza is good. Move on already. Also, there were some errors with pronouns as well as when describing their appearance. Eleanor states several times that he has red hair and hazel eyes. He mentions that she has blue eyes and that when he looked at here it was blue [eyes] on blue [eyes]. Leo states that Eleanor has dark hair but later described it as a soft brown.

Not very good
I was excited to read this book but I was sadly disappointed it was a very slow start a lot of useless dialogue. The book jumps around a lot one minute she's naked and handcuffed to the wall and he walks out there's no explanation if he came back or if she got out of the Cuffs herself just to dead end. The next page they're in the car riding. Same old unrealistic lines and situations. He works her up and then walks away and tells her to beg for it. Hello in real life women don't beg particularly if it's a jerk. It's the men who do the begging. The albanians are so stupid they give her the address where they are holding her sister so she can trade herself for her sister. Why didn't she just give the address to the MMC. She's so stupid they could have kept both her and her sister but they let her sister go which makes them stupid too. You can only stretch reality so far. I'm sure it's very hard to write a book but if you're an author can't you come up with something new?

Okay a little cheat at the end of the year and keeping up with my reading challenge I grabbed the Rosetti brothers serie, with wicked lies as a start.
The story is old and predictable, especially being an avid dark romance reader. A few dislikes are the repetition omg over and over the room is filled with heat and smoke. And it’s not that the author is not capable of good writing, I mean one of the plus in this is that there were some real good poetic writing in this story. Which made me pick up the book, as it started very strong.
The spicy scenes were yeah spicey, but some were misplaced. I mean they just had sex then lay on the bed and yet again an extended spicey scene. With yet again the same elements.
I like reading character development, but this one felt a bit force, can’t place my finger on it.
Knowing dom is next, I will read the second. Also interesting choice of the author to not start with the oldest, the heir- that was the only surprising element in the story.

An interesting read…
I’m not sure it was what I expected. Most of the story was told via thoughts inside the characters heads so there is rarely interactions with one another on page. Perhaps we are meant to believe that there are times they talk and begin to know one another that we do not see, but I missed those moments. I like seeing the characters soften to one another but that all is implied to happen off page. The side characters are barely on page as well so I’m not sure I’ve developed any feelings on any of them to know how the rest of the family’s books will go.

I’m kind o torn on how to say things without sounding snarky.. I did not know what to expect. I knew this was an earlier book but there were so many editing and typo mistakes that I would re red passages to make sure I got the correct context. The story was average, main characters did not seem developed but I stuck it out because I knew her more recent books were good.

Se me hizo bola, la traducción deja mucho que desear… y la trama también, no hay desarrollo de personajes ni te engancha y para el nivel de spicy que se narra mejor que no tenga..
