GIUSEPPINA

I was never supposed to meet him, but one fateful night had him saving my life.

Now he thinks he owns me. I’m his to keep.

He’s ruthless, cold, and a killer, but something draws me to him anyway.

I know what he’s capable of. I know he was meant to kill me. And I know one wrong slip may make him change his mind about sparing my life.

But I want to test him, push him, be a part of his world.

I know I should be afraid. I know I should run. But something about Darragh has taken me over, and I don’t know how long I can resist . . .

______

A hitman.
A princess.
A forbidden romance.

All her life, Giuseppina Delarosa knew two things: what her father and brother did after dark was a secret, and her life was never her own. As the sole daughter of Don Delarosa’s clan, it was well known a marriage would secure the future of the family. But when she learns she’s to be wed to an infamous ally, Giuseppina has other plans.

Darragh O’Callaghan is good at exactly two things: not caring about anyone, and killing his enemies. The only Irish mafia in the city needs good enforcers to keep their borders, and Darragh does his job well. So he can’t understand why he screws it all up when a hit is placed on the Delarosa gang’s prime jewel: Giuseppina Delarosa.

One rainy night.
One decision not to kill.
One moment that changes everything.

Hit is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, dark mafia romance. It is book one in the Mafia Born Duet.

 


Goodness this one was a page turner! Thanks so much to Rockstar Book Tours for setting this up and for partnering with the author/publisher for a free review copy in exchange for my honest review of the book. 

From the first chapter all the way through I was pulled in by the mystery of it all. I don't usually like mysteries/suspense, but this was a good mix of mafia action and adventure, with a lovely slow burn, enemies to lovers plot. 

That first scene reeled me in so much, and the descriptive writing was so well done that I could visualize this one just like a movie playing in my head. 

At first I really felt sorry for Pina, with her being locked away her entire life. It seemed pretty archaic and I had a moment of "really? This much seclusion for a modern setting?" But it worked, once I get it a chance! 

Darragh, while a hitman, is a likeable character and it really got me to thinking of how folks are trapped in old patterns and stories and don't necessarily reflect that in all their actions. It was a bit of an odd thing to think about while reading a romance novel, if I'm totally honest! 


The two leads really grow as characters throughout and I was happy to see the amount of character development that we got with Pina. We knew she was a spitfire in the beginning, but as time goes on we get to see that more and more from her. 

The steam level is a solid 4 our of 5, and the CLIFFHANGER. I'll definitely be looking for the second installment!
