By Sin I Rise: Part One by Cora Reilly
4.0

This was a solid 4 stars for me. While I liked the story and the characters I couldn’t really connect with them. Everything felt a bit rushed for me. Marcella is not your typical mafia princess while she may be spoiled she is also smart and cunning and gorgeous and knows how to work that to her advantage. Maddox is part of the MC that Luca destroyed and now wants his revenge by kidnapping Marcella. As ruthless as he seems there is this other side that has a moral compass. He was just way to hot and cold for me with Marcella and she fell for him fast…. This is the first part to their story and does leave off on a cliffy I will be checking out the next book because I want to know more.
