"Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She's the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa . . . or was. Now, all she can see in the mirror's reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint. They say first impressions are everything . . . In the murky waters of New York's underworld, Elena's sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat--even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elena's first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he's just as rude as he is handsome. She doesn't like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn't stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he's near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice. And he's always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she's beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don't fall in love with a Made Man . . . right?"--Back cover.… (more)

The beginning was boring and I almost dnf'd a few times but it was Nico's POV that kept me going. Once the banter started I was a little more invested and by the end I was rooting for them. There isn't much of a plot until the last few chapters but I felt the angst payoff was not very good in the climax could have been better.

3.5 stars thanks to Nico ( )

Wow! I loved this one even with all the misunderstandings that could have been resolved with one simple conversation. Nico was awesome and so hot! I thought about this story much and couldn't wait to get back to it when I had to set it down. ( )

Unbelievably sweet! Loved it! ( )

Never in my life have I read a book with so many threats of SA in it (that was meant to be depicted as romantic/sexy, mind you). If all dark/mafia romances are like this, then it's certainly not for me. ( )
