TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL, by Michelle Heard

Kings of Mafia #1

Angelo Rizzo & Vittoria Romano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And Michelle Heard knocks it out of the park again!  Another fantastic Mafia romance, a little different but the same romance, emotion, and adventure she always gifts us with. This time the violence is more gritty, but the story is no less romantic and enchanting.

Vittoria Romano, twenty-three, lost her father and step-mother five years ago and has been subjected to her stepbrother’s abuse all these years.  He took her father’s place in the Mafia and thinks he’s a big shot.  Couldn’t have been more wrong!  She chances into Angelo Rizzo while he’s doing gruesome Mafia business and he notices her gawking.  He comes to check her out, she shakes in abject fear.  Rizzo, who is one of the five heads of the Mafia in New York, fell to the enchantment of her beauty and innocence, and so he starts machinating.

I loved how he had to take romance counseling from his bodyguards in order to woo Vittoria, loved how Big Ricky and Tiny were initially scary and ended up like family to Vittoria, asking for her cooking treats like little puppies.  She was initially scared stupid but she has an inner core of strength that helped her face her situation, deal with a dangerous Mafia don and still negotiate fidelity and children in exchange for protection. And then proceeded to make him cherish her like the treasure she is!

Beautifully romantic, some funny tidbits, a great couple with yummy steamy moments, and enough action to keep me in suspense. Another winner!

UNFORGETTABLE, by Michelle Heard & Tayla Louise

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Deliciously melodramatic, heartbreakingly emotional, this book is as the title says, unforgettable.  A beautiful introvert meets a billionaire who hides trauma under his sophisticated façade, and together they form a perfect couple.  They give the other what they need, she needs to feel prioritized and he needs to hover.

Lillian is an artist, she knows her worth but hasn’t been able to get recognized.  And what is worse, her own family treat her as an afterthought.  Her father, sister and brother are lawyers and they seem to think it’s all that is important.  Lillian’s art is a whim.  She feels neglected and invisible, same with her socialite friends, who only care for being seen and shopping.  I loved that Lillian, notwithstanding her loneliness, is inherently strong and stubborn.  She suffers but she continues to toil on her art, endlessly hoping that she will make it.

Callan is a different type of CEO, he owns an escort service but they only act as escorts.  No sex, just companionship.  His company is extremely successful and he only takes dates when there is an emergency.  He takes Lillian’s engagement because he recognized her from a week before buying coffee and because her case is sensitive.  She ranted about feeling invisible and wanting an escort to feel seen.  So Callan goes and he does more than see her, he falls for her.

I loved this love story and loved both characters!  I hurt for Lillian, so kind, so good, but shy and introverted, so it was hard for her to stake her place in relations.  It took the attentions of a good man to raise her self-esteem and dare to ask for recognition.  

I loved the high drama that these two authors took the plot to, and loved the plot twists that caused so much uncertainty, in both the characters and myself!  I only didn’t like that they didn’t punish enough the horrible ones in the story, I wanted more doom in hell for them all.  

Lovely, fun, adorable, angsty and ultimately super sweet and happy!
