When she was eighteen, she agreed to marry Antonio in order to hide the truth: that he was gay and in love with an outsider. Valentina lost her husband, too, but her first marriage had always been for show.

On the verge of becoming the youngest head in the history of the Chicago mafia, Dante needs a new wife and Valentina was chosen for the role. The only way to escape the marriage to Luca would be to run away and leave everything she’s ever known behind but Aria can’t bear the thought of never seeing her family again.ĭespite her fear, she decides to go through with the marriage Aria has grown up among predators like Luca and knows that even most cold-hearted bastards have a heart and she has every intention of working her way into Luca’s.ĭante – The Boss – Cavallaro’s wife died four years ago. In her world a handsome exterior often hides the monster within a monster who can just as easily kill as kiss you. Luca might be one of the most sought after men in New York thanks to his good looks, wealth and predator-like charisma that radiates power, but the society girls throwing themselves at him don’t know what Aria does: that the bad boy aura isn’t just a game blood and death lurk beneath Luca’s striking gray eyes and arrogant smile. Now at eighteen, the day Aria has been dreading for years is looming dangerously: her wedding to Luca.Īria is terrified of marrying a man she hardly knows, especially someone like Luca who got his nickname ‘the Vice’ for crushing a man’s throat with his bare hands.

Aria was only fifteen when her parents betrothed her to Luca – The Vice – Vitiello, the oldest son of the head of the New York Cosa Nostra to ensure peace between the two families. Desiree Ketchum's great too.This boxed set includes the first three books in the Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles:īorn into one of the leading Mob families in Chicago, Aria Scuderi struggles to find her own path in a world where no choices are given.

Even so, they make a good couple and I really liked the end.Īs for the audiobook, it was great and I think Tor Thom's voice matched the Growl I formed in my head perfectly. Both made me roll my eyes at a few moments but I'm starting to think that I just don't like slow burns because I get so pissed when people love each other and just don't admit it even to themselves (which happens a lot in romances but it really makes me roll my eyes). The first chapter was like "?", I'm pretending that it didn't happen. Well, I started to like it from the middle of the book.
