Liliana Scuderi has been in love with Romero from the moment she first saw him. After her sisters were married off for tactical reasons, she hopes she might be allowed to choose a husband for herself, but when her father promises her to a man more than twice her age that hope is crushed. No begging can make him change his mind. 

Romero has always ignored Lily’s flirting. Her age and status made her off-limits but even someone as dutiful as him has only so much control. Wanting her when she’s supposed to marry another man could mean war between New York and the Chicago Outfit, and Romero has always put the Cosa Nostra first. 

Lily suspects her sisters and Romero would risk everything for her, but is her happiness worth that much? Is love worth a war between the Cosa Nostra and the Outfit? 

Review:

Liliana and Romero.... Finally... The chemistry they share has been brewing for 3 whole books and now we finally get a story for them. Isn't that exciting? YES.

For those of you who have been living under a rock and have not read this awesome series, this is all about the Mob. And each book tells us the story of a different couple. And this time... Is Liliana and Romero.

“I remember the way Romero had looked at me at our Christmas party. as if he saw me for the first time, really saw me as a woman and not just a stupid child.” 

Bound by Temptation is such a nice title for the book because Liliana has been tempting Romero ever since she put her eyes on him. He eyed her too, let's be honest but he couldn't do anything because she was under age and from a higher status. In this book that is all thrown out the window because the temptation just becomes too great and they have to cave in to it.

These two break almost every rule possible in here. First off Liliana is not married so she has to maintain her innocent (bullshit) and she can't date. It's impossible specially with a guard. But they ignore it and for most of the book they hide their relationship from everyone, having to sneak around to be together. I honestly thought they would be discovered every single time. I was on the edge for them the whole time.

One of the things I greatly appreciated in the book was that we have two characters that should follow the norm and forget about each other but because they love one  another they stay together,. And they will fight whoever says otherwise.

Liliana really had a hard time. With her mother sick and having to put up with her stupid father... And on top of that being engaged to a man three times her age... It's a lot. And she really is affected by it but does not let anyone know. She's really strong.

“He'd seemed safe, like there was no way he could possibly hurt me no matter the provocation.” 

Romero is as loyal as you can get but rules are meant to be broken and he will lie to his boss and to almost everyone and risk his head in order to have Liliana. It's so sweet, but truth be told they could get killed for it.

This story is filled with steamy sex scenes that are even more exciting because they are prohibited. And because we are dealing with the mob expect a lot of gunshot fires, getaway cars and a lot of people getting killed. It's the norm in here.

Also we get to see inside the lives of the previous characters and they will still go through their ups and downs and we get to see everything. Yay!

Willa Knight: Dweller? Bad-ass? Notorious pet to five magical beings? 

In Blesswood, there are rules, and someone is trying to teach her how to follow them. The only problem is Willa. Which shouldn’t be anything new, since she has been a problem since birth—something her pseudo-sister Emmy would agree on. 

So it definitely shouldn’t be new … but it is. 

Because things are starting to happen that have never happened before. 

Things are starting to get …chaotic

Review:

I just read this book super fast... Why? Because it's crazy good and I was in the mood for some funny situations and Willa is always sure to give some of those.

The previous book was great. This one? Even better... Is that possible? Apparently this authors have managed to just that and I am loving them for it.

In this next installment things do get a lot more chaotic indeed. The plot thickens and the story gets even more interesting because now we see that maybe Willa isn't just a common Dweller , and maybe she is much more than that... Interesting right?

The chemistry between the brothers and Willa is so much more intense, which leads to great situation where they all want to protect her and defend her and it's sooooooooooooo cute. I know I shouldn't use the word cute when it comes to powerful Gods that make everyone shiver in fear, but it's what they are.... So cute. Also we see a lot more of the extent of their powers in this. And it's crazy...

"He looked hot and lethal. I looked homeless."

Willa is still my girl. Still love her to death. And she is still clumsy as hell. Seriously I find myself warning her.... Willa wear appropriate clothes so they won't be lost... Willa look at the floor while you're walking so you don't trip... Willa be careful of that wall... Willa there is a six foot guy in front of you... I was like this the whole book. But she found her way into my heart so it's okay. She truly is an interesting character that gets a crazy evolution in this book.

"I'm special,- I declared sarcastically. I actually was special, but not in a kick-the-gods-asses kind of way. More in the dropped-on-my-head-at-birth kind of way. "

I loved every second of this book, and laughed every second of it too... And I'll be reading it again before I read the next book which will be called SEDUCTION....

Another quick note... Isn't this cover to die for? Yes it is... The green is just so appropriate for Persuasion and the next book will be in Yellow. I love it.

In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods. 

At least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won’t ever be forced to present herself to them... Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world—a position that she definitely did not earn. 

Under the sudden, watchful eye of the gods, she will be tasked to serve the Abcurse brothers, five sols built of arrogance, perfection and power. They are almost gods themselves, and under their service she is either going to end up sentenced to death, or else they are going to ruin her so badly that she will wish for it. 

Either way, she is in trouble.

Review:

Okay so if this synopsis does not drawn you in, the cover should. Look at that beautiful purple and that beautiful dress and all of that. It's perfect!

So I must say I love me some YA. It's fun and flirty. Easy to read and you always get some good laughs while you're at it. And this book delivered all of that, and then some more! It's perfect. The story is unique, the characters are super funny and laidback and the main girl Willa is just way too precious for me. She's amazing. Not boring at all...

“Where’s the creativity, gods? I didn’t see why Death couldn’t have pink. Or purple. What if he liked sparkles?”

Willa is a Dweller. That being said she is not lucky at all and she is treated like trash, until she is offered a position at Blesswood. Blesswood is an academy for Sols (yup, you know it's about to get good) and All of them are beautiful Sols. Seriously, there is not one ugly person at this school. And all of the guys are tall and handsome and shit. I'd love to go there.

I didn't think I would like Willa at all. First of all she is really clumsy. Like, she gets hurt like no one and she gets herself into situations you wouldn't think could happen at all. But she is so much fun. Now she's my girl and I'm cheering for her so bad! Go, Willa!

“It’s your own fault, Will. What did I tell you about walking?” “That I should leave it to the experts,” 

Willa as you may notice is a kind of name that could be of a guy or a girl. You can't really tell. So she is mistaken for a boy right at the start. So she has to clean the men's ward at the school. Which BTW is like sooooo funny... And because of that she meets the most powerful Sols there are. The ABCURSE Brothers.... YES!

The brothers are all Sols, but really powerful ones. They are also really intense and really funny. And they're all beautiful and each has their own power... Like I was obsessed with them. At first I didn't think that having five guys and one girl was really going to work but I loved Willa so much that I gave the rest of the characters a change and I do not regret it at all. They all blended so nice and the brothers made the story ten times better. And when you add a clumsy girl named Willa with five Powerful beautiful Sols with five different personalities... It's just great. And I giggled the whole time. It's that good.

“They moved as a single unit of zero-fucks-given through the crowd.” 

The story itself was really well written. The whole book is not big at all and it took me like four hours to finish it all because I loved it so much. It has funny moments. A dramatic story where you'll be at the edge of your seat and a fantastic world of the gods where Willa has to survive and barely makes it out alive several times.

Also, there are going to be five books in total and each of the books are named after a power of one of the brothers. That's genius and just makes me want to read all of them even more. And if the covers are as god as this one and if the story maintains it's uniqueness, I can already tell it's one of my favorite series of this whole year.

Now I'm going to read Persuasion and keep on laughing like a crazy woman...
