An Unrepentant playboy, A virgin mafia princess, and an arranged marriage. What could possibly go wrong. Matteo Gratale is an unrepentant playboy who doesn’t discriminate with women. He likes them all; white, black, Latino, Asian, tall, short, skinny or big. He’s long considered himself the United Nations of dating. Matteo didn’t have a care in the world as he worked for his brother and the family business. His biggest concern was what lady was he going to score with next. Then the unthinkable happened. His brother arranged his marriage to the one person who was everything he wasn’t; shy, quiet and most of all a virgin. Isabella Capriotti had her life planned out. She was going to finish college, go to medical school and live her life as a surgeon. She enjoyed the quiet life she’d chosen and was more comfortable around books than people. Even though she’d always secretly dreamed of meeting a man and falling in love, the fact that she was a mafia princess cut down the dating pool substantially. Imagine her surprise when inside of a week her brother is killed and she’s promised to the playboy son of a rival family. Will a meeting that began with a slap end in a courtship or will a dark secret force them apart forever?

This is the second book I’ve read by this author , it is Matteo and Isabelles story . It was a lovely book and felt so warm at the end . can’t wait for the next characters story
This didn’t even seem like a mafia romance. Yes, there is an arranged marriage and a “family” but that’s it. It is mostly just a romance book. It was okay. A lot of it was drawn out too much.
It was...different. I was expecting a Mafia Love Story, but there wasn't much of a story line and the romance was kind of just meh. At times, it was hard to follow the story, as it wandered around and felt a little disjointed. Mostly OK read, but not what I look for in a romance or mafia story.
