By Sin I Rise: Part One by Cora Reilly
4.0

I'd like to start this off by saying Mafia romance is by guilty pleasure. I'm obsessed with the alpha dominance, the damsel-in-distress drama, the high stakes, and the often fast paced, gripping stories.

By Sin I Rise: Part One did not disappoint with these factors. However, I will admit the romance felt a little too rushed for me and I would have liked to see more growth between Maddox and Marcella. Other than that, this story had everything I loved about a mafia story and I can't wait to get my hands on Part Two!
