Gemma: A Mafia Forbidden Romance by Natalia Lourose
5.0
"That’s the funny thing about depression, if you are smart enough you can hide it well." - Gemma
**Trigger warning sexual assault, violence and suicidal ideation
Wow! I have absolutely no words to say. This novel took me by surprise! I loved Gio, but Gemma, oh my gosh! I didn't want it to end. Yes, there are sensitive topics in this book, however Natalia Lourose **chefs kiss** did an outstanding job. I want to say Gemma is my favorite novel (so far) in this trilogy, but I haven't read Gian as yet (the final installment), so we will have to wait and see. Gemma is a great character; her character evolving throughout the book was amazing! She hit rock bottom after her mother's death, but slowly with Liam's help she found her way. She battled her way through, and got out of the darkness that she was in. Finally finding her purpose in life, together with the man she loves.
Two rival mafia/mob families; enemies waging a war. Casualties on both sides; anger and grief, over the death of someone dearest to them. Ever since the sudden death/murder of her mother, Gemma has never been the same. Heavy with grief, she finds no purpose to move on with her life. She turns to drugs and alcohol to drown out her sorrows; to escape from the heavy burden she carries. Liam, caught in between himself and his family's way of life. When is brother is murdered, Liam is out for blood; he wants revenge. What happens when two lost and damaged souls meet? Gemma and Liam find solace in each others arms. Two people who were never supposed to meet; two lovers who got stuck in the crossfire of their families' never ending war.
