I have everything I never knew I wanted. Money Power The respect of my entire family. I’m no longer the princess, now I’m the queen, and best of all Antonio is out of my mind and my heart. Yet I’m not happy. Something is missing. My friends are blissfully married and focused on their families. But I don’t want a husband and a family. Or do I? After the way Antonio treated me it’s hard to trust any man, let alone myself, when I’m near one. Love feels so out of reach. So why can’t I get this new man out of my head? Why am I always asking myself ‘what would he do?’ Maybe the Cattaneo queen wasn’t meant to rule alone.
This clean trilogy is a slow burn romance, but Liliana will get her happily ever after … eventually.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE ALESKI….. seriously he was needed. I need to order me one of him.
SPOILER:
I love that she made sure the main FMC didn’t put up with who she was paired up with at the beginning! Most romances are written to where the FMC forgives and forgets. She let lil find herself, forgive, move on and a man that chased her and adored her … rather than lil still doing that like she did in the first two books of her trilogy.
After reading every Aurora Darklight book available, this is my favorite of all! I loved Liliana from the start and ached for her when her life fell apart. Watching her grow into her own person was inspiring, but her longing to be loved was so heart-wrenching. When I discovered that she had been loved for a long time, it completely blew my mind and left me with heart eyes! This story stays on my mind, and I truly appreciate how well this series is crafted.
I love how Liliana finally got her happily ever after! Her romance in this one is so sweet and I love how he treats her like the strong, powerful woman that she is! This romance was beautiful and I loved watching Liliana grow up over time throughout this series. I would definitely read this book again!
Romance: Non descriptive kissing and making out, hand holding Swearing: None Christian Elements: None
She deserved this happy ending. I’m so happy for her. Finally. I loved the many ways she finally fought for her own happiness and the way her man supported that and gave her space to grow. I’m soo happy for her.
I have now finished the whole sweet redemption series, and this was my favorite book of the series!!
Spoilers:
I absolutely loved Aleksei and Lilian's relationship. It was so satisfying to see Lilian get her happy ending after everything she went through with Antonio. I have read mafia romances in the past and I really appreciate how Aurora wrote this series. She was able to get across the power all the Dons have without being super descriptive of the violence that might have been necessary to gain that power. I also loved the growth we got to see Lilian go through to gain confidence in herself!
