She's an innocent. Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. My Angel is the one who got away-the only person in the world I love. When she is caught in an unsanctioned bank robbery in my territory, only my reputation protects her. She should have stayed away. Instead, she charges back into my life like a shining beacon in my otherwise bleak existence. She has no place in my world where hardened criminals toy with the lives of the innocent. A better man would let her go-again. There's no white picket fence in life with a Bellandi, and she deserves so much more. I pushed her away once, but now that she's back I won't let anything else come between us. Not even Ivory herself. Bloodied Hands is a full-length standalone novel with dark content. The Bellandi Crime Syndicate Series includes several full-length standalones that can be listened to in any order, but would present a better listening experience following the suggested listening order.… (more)

Classic mob romance

This is a classic romance; Matteo was Ivory's first love in high school and it breaks her heart when he dumps her. Their reunion is business to her but for him, her reappearance is another chance. Can she trust him, and will her conscience allow her to be with a dangerous man? The push and pull between them is convincing, and the story is compelling. A stand alone within a series. ( )

I love discovering new authors. This book was a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't call it dark as much as I would say it is intense. This comes from Mateo, who despite being possessive, does what he has to do in order to keep his Ivory with him. There was talk of other problem issues both in the past an the future but neither had anything to do with the Hero.

Some might consider the ways Mateo ensured Ivory belonged to him goes against feminism, but this is fiction, so the choice in their body is a moot point. In real life, I would have been angry. In this book, it was sexy because he truly loved her.

Definitely checking out the next book and anything else this author has written.l ( )
