I am not sure how I feel about this book.  I laughed. I cried.  It had a happy ending.  It centered around mob families that were fighting for territory and control.  They would do anything to anyone for a ruthless deal.  Maggie, the daughter of a mob boss but naive, was essentially given by her father to another gang family for territory.  She had no choice in what was to happen to her.  Several of the other mob families wanted the territory and hated her father and would do anything to possess her.  She was kidnapped, raped several times and held captive by one group.  When she was returned back to her father for the land deal, she was taken again and brutally attacked, branded, and taken by another man who was head of another family.Maggie was strong and it showed her character through all the trials and tribulations that she went through.  Was it Stockholm syndrome that made her fall in love with one of her captors?  I liked that it was true to life.  There were no real good guys here.  All of the characters had flaws. All of the characters had done wrong and horrible things.  Her father was flawed. Eric was flawed, Dean was flawed.  All of the mob bosses were flawed and brutal.  Maggie chose to find light and see goodness through all the evil and violence.  She allowed herself to be brave and fight for what she wanted.This book was not what I expected.  I liked that the author finished all the loose ends.  There were no cliff hangers.  Each of the characters came full circle and you heard the outcome.  It had a happy ending of sorts....with the premise that you can change the stars if you try hard enough.
