Diamond Fortress by Morgan Elizabeth
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Morgan Elizabeth brings the world of Ivory Tower in the now second book of the series, Diamond Fortress, continuing the themes of endless spice, tasteful revenge and the unserious banter of a contemporary novel. The plot to avenge Delilah’s family is still alive however, has lost its once stable footing—with Dante’s latest idea to force a marriage between Delilah and his cousin, Paulio, the touches get sneakier, the whispers get louder and Delilah becomes stronger.
Delilah proves herself once again in this novel, being a strong-willed and unbreakable woman. She confronts all challenges head on and with a back bone that is admirable. The addition of her secret affair with Dante makes the intimacy bittersweet and steamy, creating the perfect sizzle in the mafia romance atmosphere.
Delilah and Dante are archetypal. One of a kind, the tension and angst between them is a unique, exhilarating and such an exciting experience. Morgan has articulated this relationship so beautifully and intentionally, it had me as a reader kicking my feet, squealing. I absolutely adored reading the love story of Delilah and Dante. With a side plots of immense plot twists and the love of a family—like a small-town romance—the Diamond Fortress just hits every angle.
Morgan Elizabeth showcases her perfected craft in writing once again, with intentional dialogue, mature writing and a suspense that crawls under your skin, it was quite hard for me to put this book down. The world of Diamond Fortress is a hard one to dislike and was such a good read.
Ps. I would love a book about Marco—my beautiful black guard.

“Who’s this guy?” Ben asks with a tip of his head at Dante. I look at him, and my eyes give him the up to you look.
He looks back at me with a, You trust them? look.
I nod.
He smiles.
“Oh my god, that is so fucking cute,” Hattie says under her breath, watching our silent conversation.
Dante steps forward, putting one hand to my lower back in a way that is unmistakably not just a friendly move.
“I’m Dante. Lilah’s husband,” Dante says, putting his hand out for Ben.
It’s at that exact moment that the room erupts in absolute unhinged chaos.

Dante’s laugh fills the room, and I don’t watch, but I know he’s getting closer. Electricity snaps, even now.
And then he wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me in close, my hand moving to rake through his hair that is more silver than dark now. His head goes to my neck and it’s then he says the words that always flow through me.
The words he always says if we spend any longer than two hours apart.
“Missed you.”
