Book Review: Savage Proposal

 


I built my empire on blood and betrayal, turning my heart to stone after losing the only woman I ever loved.


Love is a weakness I can’t afford.

But then Isabella Rossi walks into my world—scarred, defiant, and hauntingly like Sienna.

She was supposed to be a pawn in a dangerous game, a surrogate to secure my legacy.

Yet her strength and fire awaken feelings I buried long ago.

Falling for her is a risk I can’t take.

In my world, love doesn’t save—it destroys.



Betrayed by my father, I’m sold to Lorenzo Vitali—a man who embodies the darkness that ruined my family.

He demands I give him a child, a choice that should shatter me.

But it’s not the demand that terrifies me; it’s him.

His icy exterior hides a dangerous pull I can’t resist. I hate myself for wanting him.

Falling for Lorenzo means losing myself.

Men like him don’t love—they devour.

And I refuse to be consumed.


My Review

You know what I love the most about Mafia romances...strong FMCs. Isabella fits this category. She is feisty. She is just what Lorenzo needs in his life. 

Which talk about an opening first scene. How could you not get sucked in after that. You know what else. Cliffhanger ending! Bella what are you doing to me. I need book two now!

While it is all about Lorenzo and Isabella, there are other characters in this story that helped keep things entertaining. There is Amalia and her husband Elio. Elio may wear the pants, but we all know that it is Amalia that is in charge. Also, can we talk about Elio's obsession with Starbucks. This man and his coffee. Not shaming as I need my coffee too. The other character featured in this story is Damian. He is loyal and grumpy, and I love him. 

I love Lorenzo and Isabella. The way that their relationship grew from enemies to lovers with angst in between is so good. If you love Mafia romances like I do, you are going to need to check out this book.
