Within hours of meeting him, I learned what it meant to be with the Sicilian Capo.
I’m a nurse. A nobody. And yet, because of him, I woke up in hell.
Somehow, I commanded Custanzu Valentini’s attention and that put me in a set of crosshairs I wasn’t meant to survive.
He called me “his kitten.” Promised me rubies and a life of ease.
But the inferno his enemies threw me in forged a lioness.
The prince of the Sicilian mafia has met his match.
Long live the House of Valentini.
This is the second book in the Salvation duet, and I haven’t reviewed the first but in my defense, it ended in a brutal cliffhanger and I already had this book in hand so of course I had to jump right in. I loved both books in the duet, oddly enough for entirely different reasons. The characters pulled me in immediately and I loved Kitty from the start. I had some reservations about Stan after getting to know him in his siblings’ stories but he won me over pretty much instantly.
Kitty is an ER nurse turned Physician’s Assistant and while she lives a normal working class life, she’s no stranger to Stan’s world. Her brothers are in the life and though she’s always been determined to avoid that for herself, he’s worth the risks. She has a big Irish family and lots of friends but can also take down a would-be rapist and take vengeance on an enemy on behalf of the family.
I loved everything about these two and their story, so much that I probably finished both books in record time. The only downside is that this is the final book in the Valentini series and those endings are always so bittersweet. But it’s the perfect end for the series and a must-read. I’d like to thank the author and The Author Agency for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
