I'm almost surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this story. Even though I was intrigued by the Amazon description, I wasn't truly convinced the author would be able to successfully pull off entwining a mob type story with a love story. I'm glad I was wrong. I enjoyed all of the characters here, for different reasons, and especially enjoyed how Giancarlo was able to continue to live his life the way that he needed to while still staying true to the family business. Rodrigo turned out to be a nice surprise, showing that he was capable of caring for more than just himself. And I liked when Braulio finally began to express what it was that he wanted; he was a little too passive at first. There was also an unexpected, but nicely done, plot twist towards the end when Giancarlo finds himself on the receiving end of a family betrayal.
