Summary

He’s No Knight in Shining Armor

Massimo Domenico Sovrano is arrogant， mean， full of swagger and oh so hot。
As one of the most feared gangsters in Italy， he can have any woman he sets his sight on。
But for some reason he wants me。
The chemistry between us is off the charts。
So I sleep with him on our very first meeting。
Only， he betrays me。 He breaks my heart。
Which is why I lie to him。 I tell him I am in love with someone else。
I turn my back on him and decide to focus on my fledgling career as an actress。
Now he's back in my life。
Only problem？
He's engaged to my sister。。。
But I know what he's about。 No way can I let him spoil her life。 I am going to do my best to break them apart。
I have her best interests at heart， that's all this is about。
It has nothing to do with the attraction that simmers between us and drives me out of my mind。。。 right？

Full-length love to hate to love mafia billionaire stand alone romance filled with heightened tension， hate filled looks that turn to longing when the other person is not watching; plus one bossy mafia guy who might stop glowering enough to realize he's hopelessly in love。。。 with the wrong （right！） firecracker of a woman。 1-Click NOW。

It took me a quite a few pages to invest my mind in this book。 Once I did it became so interesting that I didn’t want to stop reading for anything。 It has suspense，intrigue，danger and plenty of steamy romance。 Another great book by the author。 Can’t wait for the next one in the series。

Not truthfulTwo people with strong personalities clashed at the beginning ended up with a extremely difficult relationship。 Not willing to make some sacrifices， their relationship was domed from the beginning。 I had some ups and downs with Olivia。 I found her emotionally selfish。 She wanted too much and wasn't willing willing to compromise。 Even in the end， he gave her more than she deserved。 Not truthfulTwo people with strong personalities clashed at the beginning ended up with a extremely difficult relationship。 Not willing to make some sacrifices， their relationship was domed from the beginning。 I had some ups and downs with Olivia。 I found her emotionally selfish。 She wanted too much and wasn't willing willing to compromise。 Even in the end， he gave her more than she deserved。 。。。more

She was with him first。 One night was all it took though。 I was team Massimo and am very happy for him after reading this。 Massimo is broody and relentless。 That makes for a good alpha。 You need to watch out for the quiet ones though。 Read this and find out why。

I’ve been reading L。Steele books for a while now。 I didn’t think her books can get any better。 Let me tell you Massimo’s story is super crazy。 He is nothing and everything like his brothers。 I know it makes no sense。 Olivia fought where she came from， she wanted to leave that life behind。 Her family was old school and followed traditions in the Mafia life。 Massimo and Olivia meet one night and that’s all it was supposed to be， but fate had another thing in store for them。 Things are complicated I’ve been reading L。Steele books for a while now。 I didn’t think her books can get any better。 Let me tell you Massimo’s story is super crazy。 He is nothing and everything like his brothers。 I know it makes no sense。 Olivia fought where she came from， she wanted to leave that life behind。 Her family was old school and followed traditions in the Mafia life。 Massimo and Olivia meet one night and that’s all it was supposed to be， but fate had another thing in store for them。 Things are complicated for Olivia， but for Massimo just like his brothers he took thing in his hand。 You really one to add this book to your collection。 I can’t wait for the next book。REVIEW BY MARIBEL 。。。more

Mafia Bride AttackI’m changing the title because that’s what this was。 The female character basically attacked the poor alpha throughout the entire book。I can’t complain about this story as a whole because I did love Massimo！ I also happen to love his romantic outlook！ Nothing like a big grisly alpha who has a big smushy heart。 Of course I love the continuation of this series and I couldn’t wait for this book to come out。 My only gripe was Olivia。 She ruined the experience for me。 Talk about the Mafia Bride AttackI’m changing the title because that’s what this was。 The female character basically attacked the poor alpha throughout the entire book。I can’t complain about this story as a whole because I did love Massimo！ I also happen to love his romantic outlook！ Nothing like a big grisly alpha who has a big smushy heart。 Of course I love the continuation of this series and I couldn’t wait for this book to come out。 My only gripe was Olivia。 She ruined the experience for me。 Talk about the author’s trade mark expression of a real “testa di cazzo！”She was just too OTT in terms of her denial of her feelings。 This literally lasted for 90% of the story。 And although I love the steam between the two main characters， it did not make up for the frustration I had for this seemingly nasty character， who constantly lied and was way too salty for my taste。 This character flaw actually led me to skim most of the book。Even after he apparently sacrificed himself for her several times and even when his life was in danger and she admitted that she loved him at the end， she still wanted space？？？ And then the finale of the book was just anticlimactic。 It literally just ended with her like admitting that she loved him finally and then they jump into the next story。 A true epilogue to me， has the characters experiencing something wonderful between them and it doesn’t just end on a HFN note。 。。。more
