I liked this book, but I think i'll like part two better though because i'm not the biggest fan of all of the angst that was in part one. Luca and Amo really annoyed me though, they weren't even trying to let Marcella have a choice in regards to her relationship with Maddox. It angered me that they didn't seem willing to give him a chance. Also I read this in paperback.

We have Marcella Vitiello’s story!
This is a enemies to lovers romance with kidnapping trope. While Cora Reilly is probably best known for her mafia romance, this one is heavily plotted around a Motorcycle Club.
Marcella Vitiello (age 19) is Luca Vitiello daughter, Capo of the Italian mob on the East Coast.
He, many years ago decimated an MC - killing everyone in sight, and left a small child to witness everything who was the son of one of the MC members.
Fast forward to the child, Maddox-Mad Dog- White- who is now an adult(age 25) is seeking revenge for his father is brutal death.
And that is the basis of this story.

I love mafia romances and I love MC romances, but when you put them together...Holy cow!!!!!
When a mafia princess is kidnapped for vengeance upon her father, the bond between captor and captive leads to an uncompromising sacrifice that neither of them imagined.
I wished I could be like that, not giving a damn about what people thought of me, but that was a luxury I couldn’t afford, pretty much the only one.
Marcella Vitiello is the ultimate spoiled mafia princess who loves her family and she has a target on her head. Being kidnapped and thrown into a dirty dog kennel with a bunch of bloodthirsty dogs is bad enough, but it's the hatred and revenge in the eyes of the bikers that have her blood going cold. All, except Maddox White. She sees more in his gaze. An attraction that will be her saving grace and her downfall.
It was ironic that it fell upon me to protect my worst enemy’s offspring.
Maddox has hated Luca Vitiello most of his life after seeing him slaughter Maddox's father and other Tartarus MC members when Maddox was only a child. When he agreed to kidnap Marcella Vitiello he expected to exchange her for her devoted father. But Maddox's uncle has other nefarious ideas for Marcella meaning Maddox will have to protect her with his life. Will he go against the club to save her or will his revenge for her father choose her fate?
Marcella is a strong, arrogant warrior who is ballsy as hell! Her dignity is savagely tested by Maddox's uncle and president of the MC, but her bravery is unwavering as the mafia queen she was raised to be. In fact, her test for Maddox's devotion to her after he sacrifices everything to save her from being tortured is shocking and one of the most outstanding gestures of love I've ever seen. Maddox is an antihero who has a perfectly good reason to hate Luca Vitiello after he massacred his father, but he's adamant that Marcella doesn't deserve to be harmed because of her father's choices. His respect for her courage and her strength as well as his willingness to lay down his life for her is commendable. I do have a problem with Maddox's character though. He's not rough enough for the MC life and he falls way too fast for the "beautiful princess". It is hard to see how he could fit into her life. Their worlds are so different. Just when it looks promising, there is a cliffhanger. Sigh!
There are great supporting characters apparently from books in the Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles including Marcella's parents Luca and Aria, her Uncle Matteo, and enforcer Growl. In addition, Maddox's brother Gray plays an important in the story.
I recommend this unique and dark revenge romance filled with kickass characters, extreme sacrifices, and forbidden love. I can't wait to read the conclusion to their story.
Thank you to Ms. Reilly for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

I am so glad and so excited to be back into this world! Cora Reilly has a talent for mafia romance and this book did not disappoint!
Marcella and Maddox are the first couple in the second generation series (which I'm predicting will be a big one because so far we have 14-ish kids…?) and they do one hell of a job at setting the tone! their romance was explosive and dynamic and I loved it so much! it's divided into two parts (not sure why) and this first one was just an introduction to what's to come.
he kidnaps her as part of a revenge plot against her father but ends up caring for her and trying his best to keep her safe from those he calls family. it brings up very interesting discussions about family and love and loyalties. the romance is very dynamic and explosive. the author has a way with words when it comes to the relationships between characters and conveying their feelings… really love it.
there isn't much to say about this one <3 I really enjoyed it and it was very, very entertaining! they aren't my favorite couple but they are pretty hot!
