☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an ARC via Give Me Books in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ! ☆
Bellissimo Fortuna was all in all a good read, although, there was one incident that I did not particularly sit well with. It kind of just irked me with Bronson of how that particular person would know of that info about Callie and how it was used as a kicker against Callie as well. Such a douche move, although luckily, it was just a minor inconsequential detail in the book.
That all said, I really loved the backdrop of the story. As a fangirl of mafia themed romances, Bronson and Callie’s love develops at an early age and blossoms into something more.
But as I said, this is a mafia read, their budding affections are put through the ultimate test and back burner--- as power, deceit, and dubious agendas play a big role in their unraveling— will both Bronson and Callie be able to stand testament against devious sets of plans and stances pitted so strongly in tearing them apart?
How will it pan out for these young lovers? Can they get they get their second chance at romance? For a HEA with one another?
Read and you will find out!

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
Despair and
indecision linger around us, filling up the church. It’s weaving its way
between each and every one of us; the loyalty that was once aligned with my
family is now going to be called into question, the uncertainty of what will
happen to the former soldiers and associates that worked for my father will be
called into question and decisions will have to be made. The man responsible
was never relieved of his duties as second in command and these men mourning my
father’s demise aren’t in a position to question whatever orders they are
given, not unless they want to meet the same detriment my father did. Frank
Locati will seek to destroy everything my father built, he will challenge these
men’s loyalties, harm the ones he doesn’t deem worthy.
As I watch
the casket being lowered into the grave, surrounded by loved ones, enemies, and
friends a decision is made. Today, I decide, retribution will be mine. The
difference between my retribution and theirs is that the justice system will
take care of mine. It may not come swiftly, or as brutally and messy as they
deliver, but it will come.
