Synopsis:
Attorney, Emilia Prado has been living in hiding, ever since the local cartel killed her dad and left her and her mom for dead. But when her long lost cousin needs help leaving her drug lord husband, Emilia knows her time for justice has come.
Hot shot lawyer, Dom Moretti never met a case he couldn’t win. Each win puts distance between him and an old life he wants to forget. But when Emilia, a crush from law school, asks for his help, the life he worked so hard for hangs in the balance.
Out to even the score, Emilia is ready to enact revenge on her father’s killer. But will she risk losing Dom to a side of himself he thought was dead and buried?
My Rating:
Beautiful romance! Emilia and Dom were layered characters with complicated pasts. I love that this was sort of a second chance romance as they had such an interesting history together.
Emilia is a headstrong lawyer seeking revenge on her cousin's husband. I loved how determined she was even in the face of danger. She was a hard worker, snarky, funny and tried to do what was best for her family. Emilia was an awesome female protagonist. There were definitely times she pissed me off with her stupidity, but I still enjoyed her.
Dom is a dominant lawyer with an assassin's mind. He has a hard past that is catching up to him quickly. He is a quick thinker and a dangerous man in and out of the courtroom. I enjoyed his assertiveness and his sweet side. I loved seeing him deal with his own issues while falling in love.
The romance was beautiful! Almost a second chance romance as they both had history from college. This also had a mix of forbidden romance as they both should have stayed away from each other due to mafia relations. This a slow-burn that made my heart melt. The buildup was perfect and the fall was beautiful!
The mafia aspect was quiet interesting. A lot of betrayal, family hurt and blood to be read. I enjoyed their entanglement with the mafia on both the business and victim end as well as how it all meshed with family relations.
Overall, this was a beautiful written story. I enjoyed the depth of the characters and how they all collided and intertwined. Definitely a beautiful story. Totally recommend
