A mafia romance about betrayal and faith by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.


BLURB:

"The truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie hurts forever."—Ryan Bigge

I grew up knowing it would happen one day.

Believing that I would fall into my father's footsteps and become a monster of my own making.

So I fought it.

I lived.

I loved.

I teased.

And then one day… I destroyed.

And realized I loved the pain.

Obsessed over the feeling.

So I cut again and again and again.

She saw my rage, my madness, and tried to stop me from destroying myself, and I hated her for it, pushing her away past the point of no return.

Izzy Abandonato was supposed to be mine.

But there are some things people can never come back from. I hurt her, she hurt me, and now I'm living a lie. Telling the ones I love that I'm on one side when for years I've been forced to play both.

I'm no angel.

I've fallen.

And I may single-handedly bring down the Cosa Nostra—by default.

I, Maksim Sinacore, will have my vengeance.

I will win her back.

Even if it means I have to kill everyone in my path.

The pain masks the betrayal.

I never realized that one day—I'd be the very rat that I hated. That I was sent to kill. But once you're deep in a lie—you'll do anything to hide the truth.

She fell for the bad one.

She fell for the sinner.

So why does that make me smile?

My Review:
My Rating: 3 Stars

This is the fourth story of the younger generations Mafia story and focuses on Maksim and Izzy. Maksim is both part of the Russian and Italian mob so he has a lot to live up to. Izzy's dad is one of the Mafia crime boss so she knows how this life is. These two are the abnormalities of their family where they would rather study then kill, but living in the Mafia it's something you eventually have to do. I can't say too much without spoiling the book, but I struggled through the first part of this book. I will say the second half of the book picked up and I finally saw the strength in Izzy as she stood up for what she wanted. I wish there would have been more romance between the two and less back and forth. As with all of other Mafia Royal books I love seeing the past couples and the parents again. I like that even those these books are mafia there are comedic moments and shows a love for their families.

Remember though, not every book is going to be for every person. I have read the other Mafia books in this series and the original ones and have had mixed reviews for those. I am interested in reading Kings book coming up though.
