Disavow by Bella Di Corte
5.0
First I have to start off by saying that I have not had good experiences with "Multiple-Author" Series. Disavow single-handedly broke this bad chain of disappointment. Unbelievably beautiful, a masterpiece, magnificent, sensual, and utterly devastating in the best way!
Right away I was pulled into this story from the Authors Note, I am such a fan when Author's give you a tiny peek into their thought process or just give the readers' a little something sweet and extra to get you ready to start the story.
I went into this book knowing absolutely nothing. Not even the blurb. And I urge everyone to do just that if possible. I was so sucked into this world. Although, it was modern times I kept feeling the vibes of 1950's/1960's aesthetic. Back when the men were suave and the women put so much care into their looks, leaving the house in nothing short of perfection. I was also so surprised on how much mystery this book contained!
Rosalia (FMC) has been in a terrible car accident and lost her memories from the past couple years. She is essentially owned by the Mob and works at this unique Mob Establishment, that caters to the gangsters/mobsters/men of power. She was kind but also fierce; at times she did frustrate me but after really letting in sink in that the "mob life" is what she grew up in. I had a better grasp on why she acted the way she did...she was molded by mob rules. But, that said she still didn't lose her fire within her. Aniello (MMC) is this cold, stoic feared hitman/assassin who is of the highest ranks in the mob. This man, every time he spoke in his language had me weak in the knees. He was so extremely deadly and sexy at the same time. I loved him!!
The entire story felt almost like a "whodunnit". I was pointing fingers at everyone. I didn't know who to trust and I enjoyed having to chase the answers through the book. Rosalia has a roommate, Priscilla/Cilla that I loved so much. She is the Psychopathic fiesty Italian BFF I need in my life. The twists, the gut punches, the absolute brilliance of this story is chef's kiss. There is so much sensual beauty I nearly cried twice during this book. Also, the spice did not disappoint. I can't rave any more about how spectacular this read was. I still feel it marinating in my brain days later. And the ending?! Has to be one of the best HEA's I have ever read!
Some of my favorite quotes that deserve recognition are:
"In a world that felt dead, he made me feel alive, almost safe." "He was a fucking killer, after all."
"A man doesn't open and close your doors, he's not a man. You'll insult me if you open that door."
"Any of these animals think they're going to claim what's mine will know. They're going to smell me on you. And they're not going to think anymore. You belong to me, Rosalia."
"I'm your only Oath."
"With his free hand, he touched his lips." "Smiling, I placed a soft kiss on his lips, and then, like a deep whoosh of air after going too long without it, he freed me."
"If you bleed, I hemorrhage." "If you die, I die."
"I never knew how much of the devil existed inside of me until I met you." He kissed my shoulder. "Then I knew what it meant to be human. To fall, as they say."
I love this book with my entire heart and it's on my "Always Recommend List".
