We meet Gabriella when she’s lost her mom, before her mom dies she tells Gabriella that if she ever hit bottom and had nothing left to lose, she is to go to her half brother, mob enforcer and consigliere, Vincent ( we meet him in book one of lies of the underworld).
While she meets Vincent for the first time she also meets the boss of the family Lorenzo. While they keep Gabriella’s parentage secret from the rest of the family, they keep her safe and a secret.
Lorenzo and Gabriella become close and intertwined and their paths will forever be one and the same.
I loooovvvvveee Lorenzo. And yes I meant to spell love like that haha,
He is the mob boss with a heart and he loves her through his actions and words. He will forever protect what is his and he will burn the world down if he has to.

Another spicy read, I liked it but got tired of the weird reason people would want Gabbi dead, I felt like Enzo could have and should have laid down law a lot earlier instead of being scared of the backlash

Another hot hot hot book by Haley Jenner. I devoured this book, couldn’t help myself to put it down. I just want to know the story of Lorenzo and Gabriella. I enjoy reading this book. I love following the characters relationship. I love how Lorenzo changed into this loving guy despite of his alpha male personality. They are obsessed with each other.
It’s a brother’s best friend sister trope, and a mafia romance. Overall I rate it 4/5⭐️

This book consumed me in all the right ways. I have read it twice and can NOT get enough. I absolutely adored Gabbi and I am debating finding my own Lorenzo to take care of me. This book has angst, suspense, drama, and a little bit of violence. I am absolutely obsessed and am desperately waiting for more!

LORENZO MF CARUSO.
that’s pretty much all I have to say, this man.. oof. 😮💨 this is my favorite book in the series so far. Mafia romance, age gap, with the ruthless & unhinged mafia boss? I couldn’t put it down.
He was sweet, very possessive and controlling. Just the way I like my (mafia) men..
Gabriella, sweet Gabbi - I loved her. I loved the way she was trying to find her place in the crazy mob world, how she was holding her head up high the entire time. She really earned her nickname ‘lioness’. The way she turned the big mafia boss, Enzo into a big simp, just for her * swoon*. I was already secretly rooting for the two in book one, they haven’t had the easiest love story but when it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.
I am obsessed with this series, the world and all of the main and side characters. It wouldn’t surprise me if I would pick up book 3 straight away - whilst hoping for Leonardo’s book 🤞🏼

Fractured Secrets is the 2nd book in the Lies of the Underworld series and omg...it was even better than book 1. This was a mafia romance/ brother's best friend / age gap / forced proximity / marriage of convenience tale and I loved it.
This is Lorenzo and Gabriella's story and these two were pure fire. I loved the passion, I loved the banter, I loved the pining. There was a connection between them that could not be denied no matter how hard they tried. Lorenzo may be the Mafia boss, but the way he was with Gabriella just made me swoon. She stood up to him at every turn and she never cowered. I really loved seeing how their relationship bloomed as the story progressed.
Then there was the steam. Omg....Lorenzo's dirty talk game was on point and their steamy scenes were explosive. This might be some of the hottest scenes I've read.
As expected with a mafia story, we get violence, action, suspense, and mafia dealings and a cast of secondary characters I loved. I really hope we get a book for Leonardo and Dante.
This was a fantastic read and I would definitely recommend it to mafia lovers.
🎧 I listened to the audiobook version which was narrated in duet by Veronica Fox and Jason Clarke. Can I just say here how much I love Jason's voice. I could listen to anything he narrates and love it. Of course he did an exceptional job here and had me hooked on his voice. Veronica also did a fantastic job and her voice was a perfect compliment for his.
Together they brought the story and these characters to life and I absolutely loved listening to them narrate this novel.
