Consumed by Desire is a steamy， not too dark， violent but not overly graphic， mafia romance centering around Casso， new Don of the Bruno famiglia， and his reluctant arranged marriage bride， Olivia Cuevas。 These characters have a brutal and complicated history but the spark of desire still remains， even though neither welcomes it。 However， the truth about the past will change everything。BB Hamel is one of my favorite mafia romance writers。 Her stories are compelling， sexy， page turners which are Consumed by Desire is a steamy， not too dark， violent but not overly graphic， mafia romance centering around Casso， new Don of the Bruno famiglia， and his reluctant arranged marriage bride， Olivia Cuevas。 These characters have a brutal and complicated history but the spark of desire still remains， even though neither welcomes it。 However， the truth about the past will change everything。BB Hamel is one of my favorite mafia romance writers。 Her stories are compelling， sexy， page turners which are as much about the chemistry between the leading characters as they are about the plot。 I appreciate that she doesn't pad or fill her stories with a lot of superfluous information that would turn a one book story into two or three。 This keeps my attention 100% on the story and eager to see what happens with every turn of the page。 I also highly recommend Broken by Sin， the story of Casso's sister， Khara， and his best friend Nico。 It is not necessary to read prior to Consumed by Desire but it's a really great， sexy romance in it's own right and provides some background history for the Bruno family。 I loved both books。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This wasn't really a standalone since we are dealing with family we've met before but it is still its own story。 I enjoyed the story with it's steam and angst that I expect from these mafia romances。 There were a few different tropes here: enemies-to-lovers， second chance， bully， arranged marriage， and of course all the mafia angle that drives the backdrop for all of it。 There's human fallibility in this romance that is larger than life that makes it more relatable; after all， family comes first This wasn't really a standalone since we are dealing with family we've met before but it is still its own story。 I enjoyed the story with it's steam and angst that I expect from these mafia romances。 There were a few different tropes here: enemies-to-lovers， second chance， bully， arranged marriage， and of course all the mafia angle that drives the backdrop for all of it。 There's human fallibility in this romance that is larger than life that makes it more relatable; after all， family comes first。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Olivia is not happy about the arranged marriage her father agreed to， she is fighting Casso every chance she gets。 Casso is the new Don of the Bruno Famiglia and doesn’t plan on having a rebellious bride， he will make Olivia submit to keep her his and keep her safe。 Fast-paced mafia read with loads of drama， suspense and steam。 Great characters with lots of depth and emotion and sizzling scenes。 I liked it。

I hate youConsumed by Desire by author BB Hamel。 This book is connected to another book not sure if it’s a series。 Consumed by Desire is a darkly sensual read that captivated the senses。 There are secrets uncovered and truths are told。 A gripping tale of old grudges and revenge。 Oh and it hot at …。！！！！！Enjoy！！

Consumed by Desire is made up of several tropes; enemies to lovers /arranged marriage /dark mafia /romance /steamy love story。 Casso and Olivia have a very strong attraction to each other that cannot be denied。 The plot was entertaining and mysterious with a surprise twist。 I enjoyed it and it held my interest。 *this honest， voluntary review is based on a complimentary copy*

Excellent story and excellent charactersIt's an excellent romance in which beyond the criminal context that weighs on the characters， the hatred between Olivia and Casso is as powerful as their attraction。 The story is unpredictable， each believing the other responsible for her misfortune for ten years， and it does not go better when Olivia is forcibly brought back to the United States to be married to Casso， her ex-bully from high school， to create agreement。This episode of the series is still Excellent story and excellent charactersIt's an excellent romance in which beyond the criminal context that weighs on the characters， the hatred between Olivia and Casso is as powerful as their attraction。 The story is unpredictable， each believing the other responsible for her misfortune for ten years， and it does not go better when Olivia is forcibly brought back to the United States to be married to Casso， her ex-bully from high school， to create agreement。This episode of the series is still bloody while remaining scorching from start to finish。I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book 。。。more

The beginning of their relationship， well not even a relationship， it's definitely being held together by duct tape。 Each is very passionate about their beliefs but it takes a tragedy almost to make them realize that they are both passionate， maybe not abut the same things， but they are each protecting their own。 Casso is the Don， and he has total authority， Olivia is just a pawn in his game。 It's hard to penetrate a rock or a fortress or an island， but Casso has the determination to do it。 Love The beginning of their relationship， well not even a relationship， it's definitely being held together by duct tape。 Each is very passionate about their beliefs but it takes a tragedy almost to make them realize that they are both passionate， maybe not abut the same things， but they are each protecting their own。 Casso is the Don， and he has total authority， Olivia is just a pawn in his game。 It's hard to penetrate a rock or a fortress or an island， but Casso has the determination to do it。 Loved the puzzle pieces analogy and also the he asked again！ I voluntarily reviewed this book。 。。。more

This book is full of suspense。 We met Casso before in his sisters book。 He is now the Don of the Bruno family。 He makes a marriage deal with Olivia’s father to strengthen their families。 The problem is that Olivia and Casso have history and hate each other。 Olivia is full of spunk and does not make things easy。 Their story is full of intense situations。 You definitely will want to carve out some time to read without interruptions because you will not want to stop once you get into their story。

Although this is the second book in the series I didn’t feel like I missed anything by not reading it。 Plenty of details were included to give me the big picture of the family。 I like that Casso wasn’t really stubborn and denying his feelings for Olivia。 For someone in his position it would’ve been easy to write him as someone who pushed her away and was only using her。 There were a few weird spots like his anger and reaction to what he perceived as her asking about her own brother during a fami Although this is the second book in the series I didn’t feel like I missed anything by not reading it。 Plenty of details were included to give me the big picture of the family。 I like that Casso wasn’t really stubborn and denying his feelings for Olivia。 For someone in his position it would’ve been easy to write him as someone who pushed her away and was only using her。 There were a few weird spots like his anger and reaction to what he perceived as her asking about her own brother during a family crisis。 Also his conflicting reactions when she goes to find out answers。 I’m not keen on the family running drugs and indiscriminate killing。 The relationship between Casso and Olivia was enough to keep me from only thinking about that。 Loved Elise！I received a copy of this book through Booksprout for an honest review。 。。。more
