Binding Rose by Ivy Fox

5.0

Definite Must Read!!

I have been super excited for this series since I saw it announced and Binding Rose, the first book, did not disappoint! I read this book in one sitting. Once I started reading, I was immediately sucked in and could not stop. After decades of war, the Mafia families accept a treaty in the form of arranged marriages, to ensure a "mixing of the blood" to keep the peace. This is the story of Rosa, from the Mexican cartel, and her marriage to Tiernan, head of the Irish Mafia. There is instant hate and tension. And so much angst! It's also a RH so there is so much spice! The characters have tragic backgrounds. This is a Mafia romance, so there are dark elements. I loved it! I cried with these characters and their struggles to find their HEA but it was such a good story! Definitely a must buy because you will want to read more than once!
