Blog Tour & Review: Ruthless Saint

           

RUTHLESS SAINT (Desantis Mafia #1)

by S. Massery Release Date: May 18th



He wasn’t the one I was supposed to marry. 
He’s cold. Brutal. Calculating. 
To his family, I’m a strategic move in their war. 
To mine, an alliance offers protection against our enemies. Still, there’s something about him that calls to me. 
A dark edge threatens to revive me. His gaze steals my breath. Even if my heart thinks this could work, my brain knows better. 
We say “I do” with his brother’s blood on our clothes, and the bars of my gilded cage slam closed. 
Our wedding vows are forever – ’til death do us part. 
But with enemies closing in from all sides, death might be closer than we think.   

Trigger Warning: This story does contain a sexual assault scene.

This is a dark mafia /arranged marriage book and is not for the faint of heart! It has been a long while since I called in late to work for a book but this one had me on the edge and I knew I needed to finish it before I could get on with my day.

This book is not afraid to step up and show us the dark underbelly of the crime world. Amelie is pledged to the oldest son of a mafia family. The business arrangement helps out her family and leaves them in debt to the DeSantis family. Things go topsy turvey from the start and we are off on a wild around the world romp. We meet the bad guys and then the really bad guys and then their is family and hope all wrapped up together.

I liked Luca from the start. He is immersed with his father and brothers in the mafia world but he was raised away from that most of his young life. That gives us a peek at his heart. When push comes to shove, he remembers who he is in his core and then he really starts to shine for me.

Amelie is no push over either. She knows what is expected of her and accepts her fate to a degree. Her character gives a lesson it what it takes to break the human spirit. And then what it looks like to rise again.

As I said, I had to finish this in one sitting. Could not turn away. Fantastic mafia read. There is caution at the beginning of the book. If you don't like dark reads, this is not for you.
