Description
An American Mafia Romance
1978 Baltimore
Matteo DeVecchio is the underboss of the most powerful family in the Mid-Atlantic, answering only to his father, Francesco, who is Capofamiglia. He doesn’t believe in the “L” word. “I don’t want love anywhere near my vocabulary.”
Sherry Drakos is a low-paid public defender who does the DeVecchio bidding on the side. She likes her independence. “I don’t want or need a man to tell me what to do.”
Once they meet, attitudes begin to change.
He can’t keep his eyes off hers. “Blue Eyes. Not again. God, I’m a sucker for blue eyes.”
Neither can she. “They call him a mob boss, but I’ve seen his world. Outsiders don’t understand. It’s kill or be killed.”
Matteo is distracted when a powerful rival comes gunning for him, just when a DEA agent decides to end the DeVecchio family. No more time for distractions. He has a plan.
Watch out when his rival and the DEA both get interested in Sherry.

Such a fun sexy read. Like a "Godfather" light. The characters are great and the story moves quickly. The love story is believable and you want them to be together. The crime family is somehow on the right side of the story and you want them to win. This would be a fun thriller of a movie.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC. The book started out a little slow but the idea of the "thunderbolt" was what drew me in. The story takes place in the 80's so i liked it better since there was no texting or call calls. It went back to old fashioned phone line calls. I did feel it was a bit predictable but I still enjoyed it

Thank you to NetGalley and RupertBossier for an ARC of this. I am always down for a mafia romance. I will say this was definitely different than when I was used to. This mafia romance takes place in the 1970s. I mean, I feel like a mafia romance is still mafia, like what’s being done is the same but you could tell that it was set in the 1970s if that makes sense. Different for me, but I did still enjoy it. I will say it felt a little slow at the start for me to get into it, but then as I kept on reading, I became more engaged. The story follows our main characters, Sherry and Matteo. Their paths cross after some stuff goes down and then Matteo kind of starts thinking about her and Sherry starts thinking about him, but they don’t act on anything right away. Towards the end of the book. They did have like this little miscommunication/break up thing that I did not appreciate. I hate the miscommunication trope, but since it was towards the end of the book, it’s not like it lasted long so I did appreciate. Overall, it was a good book.
