The Mafia's Bride by E.D. Crowe
5.0

First thing I would like to say is I was so appreciative that the author actually wrote a mafia romance, not just a romance with some mafia mentions. This is a true mafia romance, where you get to dive into the world of the O'Brien clan and the De Luca family. 

I absolutely love the entire story of this book, where the focus is not solely on the romance between MMC Lex and FMC Sloane, but we dive into each character, their personality, their past that makes them who they are today, and then we get to see them develop as a couple. I love the mafia part of this book, where you go into the office with Lex and read about the actual goings on of the mafia underworld. None of the characters try to act like what they do is anything "wholesome" but do take their business very seriously, and won't hesitate to cut anyone down who goes against them.

Sloane is such an awesome character, she has the whole "devil may care" attitude towards her life, partying and continuing to live up to being a disappointment to her father. While her lifestyle isn't all that healthy, she does unexpectedly find her equal in the arranged marriage with Lex. Although, she has every intention of making the marriage fail initially, she soon learns that the De Luca clan see their wives as much more than just property. Finally having someone who sees her, and appreciates her for all her great qualities, brain and beauty, she starts to realize she can be something more than a party girl. 

And Lex, with every intention of owning Sloane, owning her body and soul, as his equal, you will absolutely love his character. Grab a copy of this book so you can read about this bad boy who tames the wild princess, his little menace.

Some fav quotes:
 "He smells like sin and that's exactly the type of person I could lose myself in, really amp up the distraction I need to escape reality."

"She's a flame and I'm a moth, readying to be devoured whole by her fire."

"It says a lot about me that someone threatening me is foreplay."

""I will own every single inch of your body and heart, Sloane. So do your worst because you can't escape me.""

"She's a Goddamn fallen angel and I'm ready to fall to my knees for just one scathing word from her red lips."

""I own your body. I own your soul. And now I'll own those ferocious words, that terribly bite because it's mine. I love your fight, but I want every part of you that I can get. Everything you are, is mine.""

"It's good to be in an alliance with a psychopath."

""You'll be mine even after death, I'll make sure to never let you go.""

Thank you so much to the author for a copy of this book!!
