\u201cYou can\u2019t ever count on a man, but you can always count on the poison that will kill him\u2026or whatever that saying is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn\u2019t good enough for her parents, and she isn\u2019t good enough for the gangster uncle who took her in after they died. But she\u2019s cunning. Beautiful. Dutiful to her uncle\u2019s demands. And she doesn\u2019t have time for a moral compass, anyway. When her runaway cousin returns to their coastal southern town, she brings a man with her\u2026and Venesa soon realizes he\u2019s the only one who\u2019s ever seen her for her. There\u2019s just one problem: she can never have him. Enzo \u201cLoverboy\u201d Marino is a wealthy businessman by day and prince of the underworld by night. Underboss to a notorious mafia syndicate, he answers to no one except his father, the strongest don in the northeast. When he\u2019s tasked with marriage, Enzo doesn\u2019t think twice. Until he meets his fianc\u00e9e\u2019s cousin. Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want. When plans unravel and temptation sings its siren song, they\u2019ll both have to choose what\u2019s more important: duty to their families or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t the best, but it wasn\u2019t the worst. It was actually just really blah and seemed like all her others. It didn\u2019t stand out to me and the characters were not really notable and memorable. It pains me to say this, but the story felt convoluted and juvenile. It had its high points, but honestly I cringed in some places. There was just too many betrayals between the characters that the story was unbelievable. Not to mention the politics of this were just childish. I\u2019ve said this before\u2014I NEED A LITTLE REALISM WITH MY FICTION.<\/p>\n

So\u2026. I feel bad rating this novel only three stars because that was truly my thoughts. But I just read that this was her baby as she was going through chemo for breast cancer. So, now I feel bad rating this low when she was going through so much as she wrote it. <\/p>\n
