Every book in this series including JADED DEVIL has been compelling and unique. Kian and Renata’s story covers 5 mafia families and two generations of mafia leadership and war beginning with Kian killing Renata’s father when she was 5.
Renata’s can be described as a pain in everyone’s rear end - friend, foe, relative - it doesn’t matter. She is a warrior, but often without a plan. Kian saves her repeatedly and she rejects his help and protection. After a time you wonder why Kian keeps protecting her but as the story unfolds we learn where Kian gets his patience and devotion.
The story is packed with plots and subplots that stretch the skills of the most resourceful mafias - multiple family conflicts, explosive devices, dons with no integrity, abuses of women, shoot outs, secret rooms, arranged marriages, kidnapping, basement torture and brothers that come to the rescue from all over the world.
The relationship between Kian and Renata is violative and not terribly romantic for most of the story because of baggage both carry and need to sort out. We do get treated to Esme and Artem’s son Phoenix all grown up and learning his craft at Kian’s side. There has to be at story there. Good book!
