The woman who lived through hell and rose out of the ashes a fierce warrior who has no desire to rely on a man, god forbid ever marry one. A cosa nostra widow, who holds down the family while making her brother think she does. And Reyna? How could one possibly top the sassy that was Sloane? With the black freaking widow! MY GOD.

Who would have thought that a man who was mostly unassuming until Savage Hearts would come in to steel the show like this? And here I thought no one could top Declan for me!īut you know what I love the most about this series? The sassy, spitfire heroines. “Something I couldn’t hear over how loud your resting bitch face was screaming.”īecause oh my GAWD the banter! His voice low, he says, “I’ve been thinking.” “Really? Did you borrow someone else’s brain?” “Very funny, viper.”

“What did I tell you about using the word ‘woman’ as a pejorative?” “That’s because you could turn Father Christmas into the Grinch, woman.”

You’re dangerously close to breaking your promise about your temper already.” Then you’ll really be swooning.”ĭid I mention the banter? Careful. “Your charm could sweep a girl right off her feet, you know that?” It was finger licking good! UTTERLY DELICIOUS! She glares at me. And quite frankly one of my top reads of the year. He’s a riptide and I’m swimming far out in dangerous waters, getting pulled under fast no matter how hard I fight to stay afloat. Nothing good can come of what I’m feeling for a woman who’s not the one in the wedding contract I signed.Ī woman I want so much, I’ll have to burn the whole world down to get. Reyna with the guts of a Viking, the body of a fertility goddess, and the attitude of a feral cat. So why can’t I stop thinking about her swamp witch of an aunt? I’m supposed to marry sweet, beautiful Lili. I won’t allow my innocent niece to suffer the same way I did.

I especially don’t care that the Irishman is the sexiest man I’ve ever seen. I don’t care how much money, territory, or power it will gain us. I don’t care if this match with the Mob will make my brother capo of the Five Families. If this arrogant Irish mobster my brother sold my niece to thinks I’m going to play nice over this arranged marriage BS, he should think again. Two enemy empires joined in sacred marriage vows. An Italian mafia princess with a dark secret.

Brutal vows geissinger
