Another amazing book by C.J. Lucci. Isle of Seduction is book two in The Moretti Chronicles and while each is a standalone, they are interconnected. So I highly recommend reading them in order.
This one is a marriage of convenience between Andrea and Guilia. Both have bred in the Mafia world but Andrea is trying to make his appearance seem “cleaner” by having a wife and seeming like a family man while he runs for a political seat. Guilia gets something out of this arrangement from the get go but that’s a spoiler from the first book so you’ll just have to read both.
Guilia is plus sized which I LOVED and makes Andrea WORK for it because as we all know a marriage or convenience always leads to pining for one another. I would definitely consider this a he falls fast and enemies to lovers but it’s one sided?
I found Andrea the most delicious MMC, he’s strong, determined and willing to do anything for Guilia. I especially loved seeing his relationship with his brother Nico and his Mom. We all love a man who loves his Mom don’t we?
The smut was 🔥, the story was compelling and gotta say I didn’t expect the bad guy to be who they were at all. I think this would be the perfect book for someone trying to get into mafia romances, and dark romances. The story and romance were perfectly balanced.
Can’t wait for book three Justine!!
