Review

I loved this book from beginning to end. Christine Feehan has a unique way of drawing you in and capturing your attention. I could barely put this book down to sleep. It had me guessing and every time I thought I had it all figured out the characters threw something else at me.

Ricco was everything I thought he would be. Everyone thought he was a reckless playboy that only had eyes for fast women and fast cars but there was so much more to him. In book #1 (Shadow Rider) Stefano warns him of his ways and what might happen if he did meet the one woman that he was supposed to be with for the rest of his life. He has his secrets that he has keep from his family. As everything starts to come out that’s when all hell breaks loose.

Mariko is perfect for Ricco. She is mysterious and in the beginning she had me guessing at every turn. I love her appearance of innocence and honesty. She gives something to Ricco that no one else can. She also has many secrets and there is also a mystery that she is unaware of.

I love this family. Once a Ferraro has taken you in they are going to protect you till the end. Stefano, of course, still serves as the head of the family and offers support to everyone even when they don’t ask for it. The bothers are extremely protective and Emmanuelle is the sister that everyone wishes for. This family has made this neighborhood it’s own community and they will protect everyone in it. This book has so many good scenes in it and a particularly good battle and I can’t wait for the next installment.

My Rating:
