I enjoyed this book so much, i loved the characters, the plot and the scene is set for the next one.

I would recommend reading the previous book first as this book follows on, in fact when it starts it runs parallel with events from Deathless and Divided (book 1). The attack at the restaurant etc.
This is the story of Alessa Trentini and Adriano Conti. After the events of the previous book they find themselves on opposite sides, there is a fight going on for power but they have been having a relationship for some time and really care for each other and want a future together.
Adriano is no saint but he is adorable with Alessa. She is going to used by her brother Joel to form alliances in the Mob, and will be married to Dean, he is just well really 'icky'. Adriano is a one woman man who would care for her and love her but Dean just isn't, the question is how they can be together when Joel and Riley (Adriano's father) are on opposite sides and are determined to use Adriano and Alessa to their own ends.

Bethany Kris has provided a map of the families at the back of the book, which is really good as there are alot of different family members mentioned so it helps keep track of who is who.

I found the plot excellent it answers questions from book one as to who is responsible for events regarding Dino (trying not to spoil book one by being non- specific). It was quite involved and hard to work out how they were going to be together as events get more and more complicated and hatred grows. There is also alot of history revealed about the families so we learn why Joel is so horrid.

There is also mention of Lilly and Damion from book one as well as Theo DeLuca & Evelina Conti and Tommas Rossi & Abriella Trentini, so in that way although they are not the main feature of this book, their story continues.

A good book and i am looking forward to the next one..
