Scars He Gave Me by Nicole Fox

I enjoyed this book because the mafia part of the story was very interesting and original.  I loved the second chance romance because there really was no hesitation when they saw one another again even though the terms they left under caused a lot of hurt.

When the guy becomes hardened because he lost his true love, it makes for a great romance when the get back together.  Knowing that he actually pined for her is a bonus.  Tomas is such a study in contrasts and those contrasts give the story its heart.

Corrine was a surprise.  Once reunited with Tomas, she showed not only how intelligent she is, but her confidence and feistiness comes through.  She uses that feistiness to for unselfish reasons. I like a heroine with spirit and sass, but not one that talks to her man in such a way that makes you wonder what he sees in her.  Corrine is so not like this and it is refreshing.  

I read the book in one sitting. This is a good example of a dark mafia romance with a bit more emphasis on the romance than the mafia.
