Book Review: Dead or Alive

 


Emmanuel

Love is a weakness. You either kill it or it will kill you. I’ve been in love once, and that’s what I did. I killed it.
I’ve managed to avoid the weakness throughout my entire life. And then I saw her. A ghost from my past, very much alive and right in front of me.
When she tries to flee from my grasp, I hold tighter. Because dead or alive, Evie is mine.

Evie
I’ve spent my life being put on display. Beautiful is a word I’ve heard a million times. Do I believe it?
No. I might be shiny on the outside, but the inside… is a dark, scarred, bruised place.
When I wake up to a cartel boss looming over me, his jaw clenched tight and his eyes darker than the emptiness I feel, my first instinct is to reach out and comfort him. That’s when I realize my mistake. But it’s the one word he utters that has my skin crawling.
“Who?” And I know he knows. He knows my secrets. Emmanuel Lopez can see all of me and he’s not disgusted by the ugliness he finds there…


My Review

Emmanuel did not start out as a big, ruthless Mafia man. He emerged into the man he is out of love and loss. Yet it is with love (second time) that this Mafia man becomes a protector. 

From the first time that Emmanuel took care of Evie, I knew I was a goner for him. He fell instantly and hard fast for Evie. It was obvious in the way that he sat by her bed and watched her sleep. 

"I love your kindness, I love your loyalty, your strength. I love the way you look at me as if I can solve the world's problems. I love you. I love the way you love me. I love you"

If you love your men to be unhinged and have a touch her and d!e attitude, then, you are absolutely going to fall in love with Emmanuel. You need to get your hands on this book ASAP!
