*may contain spoilers***Loved it. The story of Francesca (Frankie) and Benito (Benny). We met this couple towards the end of AT PEACE. As I have said many, many times, NO ONE writes bad ass alpha like Kristen Ashley. While this book has a fantastic bad ass alpha male, he is different than previous heroes. What I mean is, Benny is not a cop, PI, head of security, or a bounty hunter. He owns a Pizza joint (that has been handed down through generations). Do Not, let his job fool you. he's everything we have come to expect from an alpha in a KA book. He's bossy, protective, demanding, sweet, good in the sack, cusses a lot, and is good with the dirty talk. Oh and he's HAWT!!!! Frankie is unique as well. Yes she's a heroine in a KA book, which means she's cool, tough, gorgeous and stands by her man. However, it took her awhile to find her place..Not only w/ Benny but a place in life where she can find happiness. As you may know, Frankie hasn't had an easy life [ she was engaged to Benny's brother until he was whacked (he was in the mob) and his family blamed her for some it..this meant they didn't speak to her for 7 years...Benny included...That is until she got shot, to protect a family member. Now, all of the Bianchi's feel they owe her...especially Benny. But now, he realizes he doesn't just owe her gratitude, he has realized, he had deep feeling for her and always has. But the hard part, is convincing Frankie to put the past behind and move on with him and give them a chance at happiness. There in lies the story.I REALLY enjoyed catching up w/ Cal and Vi. Loved their wedding!! It was great to see others from the 'Burg as well. (Colt, Feb, Cheryl, and a few more).This book is long, but it's a great story and has a bid of mystery thrown in. Something else I've come to expect from a KA book. Lucky for me, I wasn't disappointed.
