Seriously, I JUMPED to read this book! I read the first one, Matteo, and loved the story and flow. So when Priceton announced 2 more books that involved Matteo’s siblings, I got excited for the continuation of this mafia world. I adored Isabella in the first book, how welcoming she was to Lux. And to get a book focused on here, hell yeah I want it! Gotta say, Princeton did not disappoint with this one either!
So, we got Isabella (which by the way, LOVE that she is never called Bella. It’s a personal thing! Don’t freak out!) who is sister to Matteo (go read the first book if you enjoy mafia romances TRUST ME). And we meet her soulmate, Nicco, who is a total green flag! BUT he sadly had to break her heart to protect her from his father before leaving to Sicily, you know the danger of having a greedy mafia dad. Some years go by and guess who is back for their queen AND to become the next Don, whether Dad likes it or not! Oh side note to all this, Isabella’s family HATES Nicco’s family because his dad unalived her parents. Yeah, not as easy as one would think to get your girl back and become the new Don.
Now, I gotta admit, Nicco stole my heart and I can see why Isabella is stuck on him because dude is a KEEPER! Not trying to spoil more than I already have, but the dude got a place and decorated it the way Isabella told him she would back in the early days! HE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE GELATO BECAUSE IT’S HER FAVORITE! And Isabella, is such a sweetheart AND a badaxx when she needs to be! There is so much more I wanna say about these two but it's gonna be spoilers. And the spice! Ok, I give it a three because of the amount there is BUT it is sooo delicious and as you read you can feel how much they crave each other!
All in all, this has become my favorite between Matteo and Isabella. Now, do you NEED to read the first one? Maybe not BUT I say yes if you really wanna dive into the story’s world from the start, at least to get more of the background behind the characters and their connections. And of course I plan on reading the third book! I mean it’s time to meet Enzo more. And if I am assuming correctly, at the end of Isabella, we probably got a hint of who Enzo’s FMC will be…ASSUMING! But yeah go read and catch up for when Enzo comes out!
