Considering she had no good relationship with her father, I was surprised at how easy she was for her dad to manipulate and convince. First by getting inside Fabi’s car (who was a stranger at first) and trusting him (since she didn’t know who he was), to then giving her father money over and over again, right from the beginning.

While her innocence and naiveness is very clear from the beginning, it didn’t start bothering me until she started making it clear that she was going to have no common sense, logic, and dignity. For starters, I think Leona has got to be one of the most ridiculous and stupid characters I’ve read about. What bothered me the most were the main characters, Leona and Fabi, and their relationship. While I was quite enjoying this in the beginning, my enjoyment was faltered around the 25% mark. “The only way to deserve a position of power is if you fight for it, if you bleed and suffer for it.” The two begin becoming attracted to each other, and it gets to the point where Fabiano will risk his promise, loyalty, and oath to the Camorra, if only it promises Leona’s safety. When she catches the attention of Fabiano, Leona is no longer able to look away and go back to the life she thought would be her new life.

With nothing but a couple bucks and a spare of clothes, she finds a job at Roger’s arena, a place known for cage fighting. On the other hand, we follow Leona, who has recently arrived to Las Vegas, where she didn’t expect to stumble back into her alcoholic father’s debts. Left for himself, he is saved by Remo Falcone, who later becomes Capo of the Las Vegas Camorra, one of the Outfit’s rivals, and earns his title of the Enforcer. We follow Fabiano, who was originally planning on following in his father’s footsteps and becoming Consigliere of the Chicago Outfit, one of the strongest and most feared mobs, but his father has other plans. Admittedly, what started off as a mildly enjoyable mafia romance book started to become one of the most irritating books I’ve come across. While I don’t normally read these types of books, I wanted to give it a chance to see what the hype was about. I had to approach it with interest and caution, as most of my close friends have read and enjoyed this series. My interest in reading Cora Reilly’s books started around the beginning of this year when I saw some specific quotes I liked.
