Collateral by Natasha Knight
5.0
Collateral is the first book in this mafia romance, arranged marriage with a part romantic suspense from a new to me author. If you love anything mafia romance, then I would heartily suggest you to pick this one, because man, this is just PERFECTION!
Gabriela strikes me with her strong sense of character, even at her young age, against her father's high handedness. But there is only so much she can do with an evil father like hers. She is just one of the pawns in a chessboard's game of her father's making. Stefan is the head of the Sabbioni mafia family and is out for revenge. He will stop at nothing and no one to get it and restore his family's reputation.
Stefan and Gabriela's initial reaction of hatred to one another was, in their mind, warranted given the circumstances they were in. I think I was going to die from the slow build of romance between them. I was legit gripping my e-reader from the sexual frustration but because of their unusual situation, it was like one step forward two steps back. There were some intense moments and I was downright swooning, but I need more, LOL. These two still have a lot to go through, especially on building up the trust. As of this moment, I have some feeling of foreboding that book two will be explosive. I have some theories and suspicions, and I would really love to get my hands on the next installment.
Overall, Collateral is hands down one of my favorite romantic suspense, mafia romance to this date. It is aptly titled as so and you would know the reason why as you dive in to this amazing story. It hooks me right up and I'm addicted to each written word on this book. I find myself savoring and pondering each moments. The story grips me from the get-go; it was that good! From one suspenseful, charged moments to sweet, thoughtful scenes, it was a wild roller coaster ride of emotions. I FLOVED it and October could not come soon enough!
