Chicago's Ferraro crime family will do anything to protect one of their own in this thrilling entry in the Shadow Riders series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.
Nicoletta Gomez was a terrified teenager when Taviano Ferraro and his brother saved her life. Ever since, she's been trying to rise above what was done to her, molding herself into a survivor under the protective eyes of the Ferraro family. All the while, she's been falling hopelessly in love with the man who knows her darkest secrets....
With one look, Taviano knew that Nicoletta was his, just as he felt their shadows connect. But no matter how much he wanted to claim her, he knew she needed time to become her own woman. When Nicoletta once again finds herself in the sights of dangerous men, a split-second decision has Taviano breaking all of the Ferraro family's rules to keep her safe. And as far as he's concerned, the reward is more than worth the risk.
My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book! I've been waiting for Nicoletta and Tavino to get together since they were introduced in book 1. And so have they, and it was so great to read about them! They both had troubled pasts, learning about Taviano's was pretty heartbreaking.
There's this one moment, when Taviano and Nicoletta are having a conversation about his mom, and he mentions his brothers falling in love. And I'm like, add yourself to the list, dude, she's feeling insecure about this relationship! Sure, you've had these feelings for her for a long time, but it's not like they were public knowledge like his brothers! Aaaah!
My feelings for Elosia teetered back and forth. On one hand, we learn of some pretty horrific things that she's done, to her family. On the other, we learn the reason why for some but not all of it, and it's a pretty big reason. Almost forgivable, except that she didn't do anything to count it until spurred into it. I'm so conflicted!
The later half of this book, was little groups of Ferraro's taking out a group of bad guys, going to Taviano and Nicoletta, and then repeat. So that was fun to read, seeing what all these others were doing to help protect the family, and still staying centered with Taviano and Nicoletta!
This book was a fantastic read, and I can't wait for the next!
