I shouldn’t have remembered him.
He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant. I didn't know his name. We never made eye contact. There was no connection between us at all.
But I could feel him.
The tingle down my spine. The command in his presence. The snap of tension in the air around him. That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated.
The second time was different.
He was in the mysterious back elevator of my apartment building. Our eyes met for a fleeting second before the doors closed, and I was staggered. My breath was robbed. My senses on high alert. My body hummed.
That was just the beginning.
He was the leader of the mafia. I was about to fall in love with him, and his name…

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review...
What can I say...
I really LOVED this book.
It was a page turner from the very beginning.
Addison is still grieving after losing the love of her life and struggling to come to terms with moving on, she finds herself haunted by her dead husband. So moving into the hard to rent, silver building with a mystery owner, she starts out her new life. Or tries to...
But then she sees Cole in a restaurant and her life changes forever.
Cole, my God, I knew he would be sinfully dangerous and sexy to boot, but my God, I loved his character.
We meet him in Carter Reed 2 and even there, we know he's got a lot to offer. But he is to die for in this book.
He's sweet, funny, mysterious, sexy, deadly and a hard man to get close to but even still, he lets Addison in as far as he can without endangering her. Or tries...
The last part of the book was explosive. I couldn't put it down. So much was going on, so many secrets, so much action, I couldn't look away.
Perfect read, packed full of everything you want in a mafia romance novel. Really did enjoy it. Will definitely be reading this one again.
