Ever wondered what it would be like to get in bed with the mob? If so, be prepared to stay up reading this one!After a rough start in life, Gabriella is finally making her own way in the world as an adult. Graduating from college and heading to New York, she was going to pursue her dreams in the fashion industry. However, one visit from her father changes all of that and suddenly Gabby finds herself married to a man she's always been attracted to, but doesn't know if she can love.As a Martinez, Lorenzo is used to getting what he wants. His father's ruthlessness in business is legendary, but Lorenzo is making his own way as a legitimate attorney. However, when his father offers him the chance to marry the one that got away, Lorenzo won't say no, no matter how unconventional their relationship is.As Gabby struggles through the awkwardness of their marriage and Lorenzo struggles with making Gabby happy, they both begin to realize how truly compatible they are. Unfortunately, doubts begin to settle and enemies threaten their chance to be more than just an arranged marriage.The author executes a great storyline of an arranged marriage in a contemporary setting. Each scene and every character held my undivided attention in this dramatic erotic romance. The writing was smooth and transitioned nicely between character point-of-views. Gabby and Lorenzo's chemistry was exciting and the growth of their relationship believable. Although the climax wasn't as intense as expected, the rest overshadows that detail. It was surprising when the end came so quickly, but I will absolutely be back for more of this author's work.Originally posted at LAS Erotic Reviews
