Every year on my birthday, my tormentor returns to claim one of my firsts.


A DARK MAFIA / ARRANGED MARRIAGE ROMANCE


On my sixteenth birthday, a stranger from Corsica shows up at my party. Angelo Russo looks like an angel, but more the kind who decapitates dragons than the kind with soft white wings. He’s dark like the ocean and breathless like water. He says he wants all my firsts as if he already owns them, but my father orders me to stay away from this man.


No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape him. No one can keep me safe. Every year on my birthday, he brings me a gift, each one having a detrimental effect on my life with unimaginable consequences. With every gift he offers, he claims another one of my firsts. Before I know it, he’s taken control of my existence, turning me into a nervous wreck, because when I turn eighteen, I know what first he’ll come for next.


Note: Love Like Poison is the first book in the Corsican Crime Lord series and ends on a cliffhanger. Sabella and Angelo's story continues in Hate Like Honey, Book Two.

Wow! What a great beginning to this new series! And holy heck, what a cliffhanger!!!

Angelo is an alpha male extraordinaire! He’s still young, but you’d never know it by his thoughts and plans. His actions towards Sabella do not reveal to her the depth and length he is willing to go and I suspect, as a reader, even I’m not aware of how far he will go. But this author has definitely set it up to where it’s feeling like there may not be a limit to what he will do to get what he wants. He’s already pushed the line to extremes. I just don’t think we’ve seen his limit by any means.

Sabella is still young, innocent and a bit naive. She’s in the first blush of love and my heart ached for her because I knew what was happening in the background of her life. I was completely caught up in her story and anxious for each page I turned as something new was revealed or circumstance changed. I’m curious to see how her character continues to develop as the series continues and she matures.

This is a fast read but it really laid out everything we are going to need to know moving forward as well as setting a few things in line for the continuing storyline. There is definitely a sense of impending doom to the whole situation on Sabella’s side. As for Angelo, I’m totally invested in what he's going to do and how things will play out. I believe this hero is going to take us all for quite a ride!
