Gabrielle Sands

   She’s eighteen. Innocent. Forbidden.

   Martina De Rossi is off-limits, and not just because her brother is about to become the Don.

   When I agree to protect her while he’s out waging a brutal war, it isn’t only out of loyalty.

   It’s because Martina is the perfect pawn in my game of revenge.

   Unfortunately, she’s also temptation personified.

   Innocent eyes. A body to die for. Silky blond hair that begs to be wrapped around my fist.

   I’m a master of staying in control, but with each day she spends with me inside the walls of my remote Italian castle, I can feel my resolve cracking.

   My gaze starts to drift.

   My touch starts to linger.

   And when she tempts, I realize this game we’re playing might be one I won’t win.

He would have dimmed your light, and I couldn't allow that to happen. Now when I've seen how bright you can shine. 

I am going to keep this a bit shorter than I would have wanted. Now if I had actually enjoyed this book I would do a full length review but alas, I just didn't enjoy this one like I wanted to to be honest. There was just something that was so off about this book. Now keep in mind I absolutely LOVED the first book. So this one was just a bit of a disappointment. It had a great premise, and it started out really good. But then the pacing went way off, super super from the 30-65% of the story, the heroine became such a brat, very immature, and just rubbed me the wrong way. And there is a scene where she really shows an abusive side. And quite frankly, needed to do a better grovel than she did The hero I was totally fine with all the way through actually. And once you get to 65% that is where the story really picks up plot wise and I was really happy with how it was all resolved. 

I am sure that this book will work for some readers though, it just didn't quite work for me. And while I still plan on reading more from this author, I might take some time before picking up book three.

This book was martinas and Giorgio’s was cute age gap and forced proximity .  I got a bit bored of it.
