Defying Her Mafioso (The Vitucci Mafiosos #1) by Terri Anne Browning





BLURB:
Ciro Donati was many things:
My father’s most valued and trusted soldier.
My brother’s best friend and second in command.
And the only man I would give up everything for.

I fell hard for the Mafioso at the tender age of eleven. This beast of a man who I knew made people disappear—and probably enjoyed every second of it—was also the sixteen-year-old boy who had picked me up after I’d fallen flat on my face during my dance recital and told me I was the best ballerina he’d ever seen. He’s watched over me, protected me like I was the most precious thing in the world to him.

And then he sent me away.

Scarlett Vitucci was many things:
The daughter of the biggest Cosa Nostra boss from New York to Chicago.
The sister of the man I would gladly take a bullet for.
And the only woman I would ever love.

Sending her away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I didn’t deserve her or her love. For three years I stayed away, ignoring the gnawing ache that her absence left in my chest. Now, she was back and fighting what I felt for her was impossible. Letting her go had been a huge mistake.

One I would never repeat.



Review:

Defying Her Mafioso didn't feel like a lot like a mafia book. For me it was more focused on the romantic side of the events rather than pew pew and torture. Also I didn't get the whole we are family we stick together thing. If I don't judge it as a mafia book, but more like a romance one, then I could say that I am happier with the final product. Ciro had the whole possessive and tortured hero down to a T. Scarlet was a good heroine but Terri Anne Browning has written better heroines in my opinion. I read the book pretty fast, but I didn't like it as much as some of the authors other works. I am in though for the story of Allegra and Tor. I want to believe that their men were the ones they were kind of paired up with in this book. I love the idea of an arranged marriage. I think this story is a stand alone because the couple gets their happy ending in the end, but I have no idea what the author has planned next. I wouldn't call the book bad, more like like-able, but I wouldn't read it again.
