Ruthless
Cienna Caruso
I've never wanted any part of the kind of live my family lives. Being the daughter of an Enforcer for the Italian Mob hasn't come without its perks, though. But, at seventeen, I'd had enough and swore I'd never live that life, so I left home... only to come face to face with Alessandro Ricci. A man that is sexy as sin and almost as sinister as my own father.
Alessandro Ricci
They call me the Venditore di Morte, the Dealer of Death. I'm an Enforcer, and I never miss a mark… until now. When I get a call that a woman has been pick pocketing men in my town, it's my job to handle it. But, when I find that the woman in question is none other than the daughter of the infamous Salvatore Caruso, I have to find an alternative route. That route landed me between two long, tanned legs... and things just got more complicated.
Rules are broken. The attraction is off the charts. And we have to decide... is it worth the risk of going up against the deadliest man alive?

I fell in love with Cienna and Alessandro’s story. Cienna walked away from her family because she didn’t want to be part of the family business. While fending for herself she stays on the move until she meets Alessandro. Family struggle, betrayal, suspenseful scenes, and love perfectly blended together by these authors. Well done ladies!

These are new authors to me, but I will certainly be looking out for their work in the future. Cienna and Alessandro have explosive chemistry between them. This is a well written fast paced quick read, which had me intrigued throughout. I recommend for all mafia lovers.

Looks can be deceiving
I did not think that I would love to story.The cover page in the title just didn't sit well with me. However, Alessandro and Cienna are awesome characters together. The fact that she ran away from her family of enforcers, just to be saved by an outside enforcer, It's just meant to be. Too bad she had to show her brother that she was a real Mafia princess by killing him. There's only so many death threats you can take from family members before it becomes a reality. Cienna got lucky by running into Alessandro, who taught her what she needed to know about the family business. Merging the families together was The best outcome for longevity.

Short story
Short read but it kept my attention and focused on the next steps to survive after becoming independent and willing to be different.

This was my first read from this author and I really enjoyed this mafia romance. The story is about Alessandro and Cienna. They have chemistry straight from the start and its explosive. Cienna is a very independent lady and she can look after herself which I like about the character, Alessandro is in the Mafia and wants to protect what Is his. Its a fast paced read and i look forward to more work from this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed a advanced copy arc.

This story was hot and intense. It’s not my normal go to but with these two ladies teaming up to bring these characters to life, I’m all in. There is a lot of emotion, a lot of the reader being pulled into the story. You’re walking along with these tortured souls. You also wanna smack a few people along the ya, or I did but, for me that’s normal. :)
It’s a fast paced, quick read that I think any alpha male lover would want in their collection.
