Dark and steamy

This series continues to wow me. This story was different because we meet the characters before they meet each other. We get insight as to why they are they way they are. Valentina lives a sad, lonely and sheltered life- like if Rapunzel was a mafia princess. Salvatore tries to live a normal life, as normal as possible, but this majorly backfires and has horrible ramifications. As the oldest, he's taken on the brunt of the responsibilities and secrets, while his brothers Armani and Fausto try to support him and play their roles. I started this book fully hating the Moretti brothers, but found myself rooting for them to get their acts together. Valentina develops from a mousy character and learns to toughen up and find her voice. Loved it!!
