The Accardi Twins: A Mafia Romance Duet by Siobhan Davis™My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Final Score - 5 My Mind is Blown Away Stars!!!
I love that the author has combined these into a box-set so you don't have to put down one book to read the other - you get both togther and the action immediately picks up again. It's chalk full of mafioso intrigue and dealings and the mystery person who is trying to bring the reign of peace to end ...
The 1st book centers on Joshua - the good twin and Gia. Their off the chart chemistry was smacking you in the face. These two are a force to be reckoned with, much like Leo & Natalia or Massimo & Catarina. I don't know if I could play the role Gia does within the Familia, even if they want a more equal footing for both sexes. Those parts, for me, were the toughest to get thru and very triggering. My heart hurt for Gia, but do not count this woman down. She is fierce and the perfect match for joshua. And that surprise guest appearance - I was FLOORED!
The ending was a wild ride as well. Oh my lord, I knew where it was all heading and like trainwreck, I couldn't look away or put it this book down. I'm so glad I came along for the ride!
Book 2 pics up right were Book 1 ended, so that was easy enough to get this story started and me hooked again. At the center of this tale is Elisa, Serena's daughter from Scared to Love. She's been in love with Caleb Accardi since their first meeting when she was just 8 yrs old and he was 13. The flames of unrequited love burned bright, but Elisa - or "Lili" as she's called only by Caleb - never gave up hope that one day, he would be her everything. Caleb Accardi does NOT live by or play according to the rules. He makes his own. But the one person he stops and genuinely listens to is his Lili. Until he does something that shatters her trust and belief in him.
Now Caleb is on a the most important mission of his life (more so than finding out who is plotting against the Familia) - he has to his Lili back. Watching him work towards that goal is both heartbreaking and beautiful to witness. He pulls out ALL he stops. The most emotional parts for me were Elisa explanation of what cause the broken trust and Caleb's realization of what Elisa truly has meant to him ALL this time. I felt each and every word on those pages.
This is a definite #MUSTREAD. Reading this the 4th time around - OMG, it was so good from the very first line of the page to the ending. I just couldn't put it down. The Mazzone family does not disappoint. This series is my go to for when I want to read an engaging story, mixed with a scorching hot romance and an intriguing and extensive mafia world that is brought to life. My pulse was pounding from start to finish.
I cannot wait until the next book in the series. And I hope to see Rowan and Romeo's stories in the near future!
