A twisted mafia romance about quiet wealth and refined darkness
Sienna
It’s been ten years since he left me with nothing but a pendant, a photo, and a broken heart. He was but a ghost, there one minute and gone the next. I picked myself up, dried my eyes, and built my life without him. Now he has come back into my life like a raging storm surrounded by crime and bloodshed. I no longer need him, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want him—or just a little taste…
Elio
Ten years ago, I had to leave behind the only light I had in my life. Without her, I live in darkness. I am not proud of the things I’ve done, nor the blood that’s been shed. Everything I did had been to protect her. We live by our code—family, power, loyalty, and protection. Our empire is built on the bones of our enemies. Now that she is back, and we have a second chance, they will learn one way or another you do not touch my queen.
Capri Famiglia will rise to the top no matter the cost, bloodshed, or the lines that will have to be blurred.
Well, J.L. Drake has done it again and made us go and fall in love with her characters once again. This story had the perfect mix of romance, suspense, mystery, heartbreak and so much more.
We loved the characters as they were all totally awesome and what I loved the most about this tale was the fact that all these men that are dark and dangerous their souls were not full of so much darkness they were not able to show kindness as well as love. We loved this about this story the most.
Sienna was a character that my heart went out to and broke for, she was a bit of a mystery that needed solving, and her circumstances were heinous and horrible. We loved that she had those fleeing moments with Elio that she would be able to carry a few happy moments in time from her childhood to look back upon.
We loved that Elio was a bit of a mystery to and as the story progressed you got the feeling that his family was more than wealthy but so much more.
Heartbreak and pain and sorrow has been Sienna's life until she made something of herself but, she still carries a broken heart within for the boy who left her behind without a clue of what happen to him and his family. From the moment Elio and Sienna met, it was clear as day they were destined to be soul mates.
As the story progressed, it took some twists and turns and Sienna finally had someone in her life that had her back and someone to love in her friend Wyatt.
Overall we loved the story had so many twists and turns, and it was amazing how fate intervened for both Elio and Sienna once again, although this time around the stakes are much higher. The story was full of so much intrigue and mystery the story had you guessing the entire time what the heck is really going on who are the players and what's there's angle and why. Bad guys and traitors running a muck through this story.
Overall, we loved the story but, hated the cliffhanger on how the story ended as things we're just heating up, and we wanted more! I was rooting for Elio and Sienna hoping they could make their way back to one another they had so much chemistry and love between them even after so many years apart and even with the betrayals and heartbreak the heart still yearns for the heart of its mate. I am still trying to figure out Mariano and what his game is. Time will tell, but, the cliffhanger that the story ended on was an OMG! Moment, and we can't wait for part 2.
EXCERPT:
Stripping down to just my bra and underwear, I slipped into the water and allowed myself to float, proud that I had finally learned to swim.
“I was beginning to think you were avoiding me.” His voice traveled across the water and vibrated through me. I ducked down, careful to keep my body underneath the water, so just my nose was above the surface. “It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen you here.” He peered into the hidey hole where we hid our notes and grinned. “I see you got my notes.”
“And you’re swimming.” He placed a hand over his heart playfully. “That hurts.”
I treaded water and tried to think of something to say as he dropped his jeans and waded into the water in just his boxers. He dipped under the surface and came up right in front of me.
His dark eyes seemed to be even more intense today, and I felt a jolt when I took a leap and stared into them. It was like someone poured a bucket of warm water over me.
“Sorry,” I whispered, and his eyes softened like he was happy I spoke. “Things have been hard, and I got a little…” I trailed off, unsure how to explain myself.
“Lost?”
“I think to be lost you need to have been found at some point,” I fought back an urge to cry. “I didn’t have a starting point. So…” I shrugged.
“I missed our notes.”
“Me too,” I confessed.
“But I missed you more.” He smiled sweetly. I admired that he could say what he wanted without a care.
His eyes flickered as something raced through his mind. I could feel his body language change.
“Do you trust me, Sienna?” I licked my lips and thought about his question. “You know me well enough to know I wouldn’t hurt you, right?”
I nodded because it was true. Elio had never said or done anything to hurt me in any way. In fact, he had cared for me over the years and never asked for anything in return. I felt like he knew me better than anyone else.
“May I take you to show you something?”
