Anastasia Romano has been a child of the system for as long as she can remember. She’s had to grow up real fast and learn to fight and defend herself from bullies and sometimes caretakers, who tried to take advantage her. Once she aged out of the system, she bought a bus ticket to NYC to start a new life, and hopefully find answers regarding her past and her family.
There she meets Carla Conti, who works at the popular Medusa’s bar. Sia convinces Carla to hire her as their bar singer, but she can only work for tips. Her voice is sooo beautiful and unique that she quickly attracts new patrons to the bar and quickly becomes known as the “Manhattan Singer”. One night Gavriel “The Cruel” Renzetti, decides to come to see Sia sing at the bar, after watching a clip of her online. He is the heir to his father’s mafia empire and is definitely not a person you want to mess with. That night at the bar, Gavriel is absolutely bewitched by Sia’s voice and extraordinary beauty and he can’t get her out of his mind. It’s as if she cast a spell over him...
That’s all I’m going to say about the storyline. You’ll need to read the book in order to find out what happens, and let me tell you, A LOT that happens! The storyline is great and so are all the characters, and you will really love the beautiful friendship that develops between Sia and Carla. And, of course, there’s the gorgeous, smouldering hot Gavriel Renzetti... the ultimate panty wetting Hero of the story. You will have no choice but to fall in love with him as much as I did!
Do yourself a huge favour and read this book. It really is sooo good!
