Description

Mafia enforcer Rocco De Lucchi is the best in the business.
Cold, hard, and utterly ruthless, Rocco is the most dangerous of men. Feelings are a luxury he cannot afford—until a chance encounter brings him face to face with the only woman who found her way into his heart and touched his soul.
Grace Mantini has spent her whole life running from the mob. The daughter of the boss's right-hand man, she is both a prize and a target. When Rocco walks back into her life, she wants nothing to do with the man who betrayed her and broke her heart. But only Rocco can protect her from the dangerous forces that seek to destroy her family. Can they escape the hands of fate closing around them? Or will love be the kiss of death for them both?
"Castille [gives] readers the compelling romance they crave."—RT Book Reviews

        November 13, 2017
        The high-octane third in Castille’s Ruin & Revenge series (after Nico and Luca) delves into the Las Vegas mob scene. Ruthless Rocco De Lucchi, raised by his sadistic and cruel adoptive father to be a mafia enforcer, vows never to fall in love again after his true love is torn from his arms. Grace Mantini, daughter of a mafia underboss, is used to being a target for rival crime families; one attack left her with a scar on her face that she believes makes her too unattractive to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. Rocco broke her heart years earlier, and she’s locked her emotions up tight. When they reunite, it’s hard to see how they can overcome these obstacles and find romance. The descriptions of violence are laden with gruesome details, and it’s hard to read about Rocco’s self-inflicted penance for the lives he’s taken. Still, the protagonists have plenty of explosive chemistry and appealing vulnerability, and a well-timed surprise adds excitement, as does an unconventional marriage proposal. Peeks at the happily-ever-afters of the stars of the earlier books add appeal for returning fans.

        Part of Castille's Ruin and Revenge series, following Nico (2016) and Luca (2017), this bad-boy romance features Rocco, an orphan adopted by Caesare DeLuchi to be raised and turned into a Mob enforcer, and Grace Mantini, the daughter of a Mob boss. Sparks fly between them, and Rocco begins to hope for a positive future, only to be given a contract on Grace's father and brother. How he and Grace work out their tangled relationship and find happiness is the heart of Castille's tale. For Mafia fiction fans, including those of W. S. Greer.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
