What a great conclusion to Sienna Snow's "Sisters of Wrath" series, I have loved them all.
The time had come, it was time for Calista (Cali) Vitalis to keep her part of the pact, a pact that she, and her two older sisters had made when they were in forced exile in Poland.
Their parents had been murdered and their lands taken but the three sisters were now back in Greece to take back what was theirs. Avra, Layla and Cali had vowed to marry, not for love, but to strengthen the family alliance, they would regain their land.
Avra and Laya were now married to powerful mafia men, the family was now stronger, there was no pressure for Cali to follow suit, she had suffered a traumatic kidnapping, had been beaten and abused beyond belief, would she ever recover ? would she ever be the beautiful, carefree girl that she once was ? Cali had continued to train in martial arts, no man would ever abuse her again and live.
Cali was determined to follow her sisters and marry for power, and hope, that like them, love would follow.
Leon Bosco was head of a powerful mafia unit, his family had been wiped out by a rival family and Leon had gained a reputation as brutal and ruthless but it was handsome Leon who stole Cali's heart. Cali had turned down Dominic Lucianos and Dominic didn't take rejection easily, he wanted Cali and would go to any lengths to get her, Would he succeed ?
The love between ruthless Leon and broken Cali was gentle but also combustive, Leon would protect her with his life if needed but gentle Cali was no shrinking Violet.
Great story, great ending.

Calista is the youngest of the Vitalis sisters, she may have been seen as the most lighthearted one (as could be in their circumstances) but by the end of book one things changed drastically for her. We did see her grow stronger in book 2 and I know we all rooted for her to heal. So now we finally get her story in Power.
I truly felt that the title fit the story for Cali, she fought hard to get her power back. When she finally felt ready, she decided to follow through with the pact the sisters had made to secure advantageous marriages. Out of two candidates she felt an instant connection with Leon Boscos, a man similar in age and someone who had also experienced tragedy in their past.
As for Leon, the feeling was definitely mutual, but he knew he needed to handle her with care. He was already feeling very protective of her.
These two were definitely made for each other, and I really enjoyed their story. We got the continuation, and ultimately the conclusion, of the revenge and drama from the first two books, but it was lighter, yet still just as powerful. Overall, a wonderful a great read to a fantastic series.
Power wraps up the trilogy of Sisters of Wrath with Cali's story. At the beginning of this trilogy the three sisters had made a plan to wed men to get back what was stolen from them/their family. Avra and Laya did that so this story kinda felt to me like it wasn't needed. Cali suffered so much trauma and her sisters gave her an out, but Cali felt like she needed to hold up her part of the deal and she'd had a couple of years to heal.
She picked Leon which to me was the right choice, he was kind and patient with her, in and out of the bedroom. Someone who suffered like Cali, would she initiate intimate acts? I can't answer that question, but I would guess not. The scene with Cali and Leon after the charity event didn't seem like it would be something a survivor would do. Yes, Leon did everything he should have done with her, but her character was just not connecting with that part of herself.
Was this a mafia story? The first two stories certainly were, but this one didn't seem to be. Overall this story had what it needed to have, it just was missing the mafia and survivor components. Leon was a great character and I really liked seeing Avra and Laya in their new roles.
The book wrapped up all the questions and plot points. This one was just lacking.

What a great end to this series.
Calista, the youngest sister, has dealt with a horrendous trauma. Her sisters give her the option of not going through with their plan of marrying into the powerful Greek families but Cali is determined. She meets with her two options, Leon and Dominic. These guys could not be more different and Leon is the obvious choice from the beginning.
There is revenge and more drama but also lovely moments with Laya and Avra. I would highly recommend this stories for about powerful women reclaiming their birthright.
