Guzzi Duet, Part One
Cara Rossi’s life has been a mess ever since her identical twin was killed. She blames the mafia, its ways, and the people within the caustic culture for a painful reality that turned her world on its side. In an attempt to momentarily pause her misery, a night out puts her on a path with a man she shouldn’t get involved with simply because of his last name—Gian Guzzi.
He’s the kind of man that makes it hard to say no.
Gian Guzzi’s problems are piling up fast. A murdered grandfather, an unpredictable mafia, and a new boss that threatens both his family’s legacy and his life. As a Cosa Nostra underboss, Gian has a duty. First to la famiglia, and only then to himself. In the midst of the violent uncertainty that has become unrelenting in his days, Cara Rossi should only be a distraction for him to enjoy.
She’s a happiness that he was never allowed to choose before.
His lies.
This life.
Their love.
It all unravels eventually.
First off, the cover of Unraveled is what got my attention. Let's be real, the cover model is yummy, and then the gold writing just caught my eye. I had never read a mafia romance so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect.
If you've read any of my reviews, I don't like to give spoilers.
I loved Cara. She started out very weak, which was understandable for her circumstances. However, as she became more involved with Gian, she found her strength. Gian, he was what I would consider a mafia stereotype. He was what I would have imagined him to be. He had his business side, but then was a different person towards Cara. He made choices that I'm not sure he really wanted to have to make, but were necessary.
The romance scenes were hot. I'm a bit concerned for Cara and Gian's video hobby, I'm thinking this could come back to haunt Cara.
Overall, I felt the book started off a bit slow. However, there was a lot of back story we needed to have in order to follow what was currently happening. Unfortunately, by the end there were still a couple of issues I still felt were unresolved. I look forward to seeing how Bethany-Kris addresses these in the next book. There is a cliffhanger at the end of Unraveled, so beware. I'm giving Unraveled 4.5-stars based on the slower beginning of the book. Also, when things started to heat up on the Cosa Nostra side, I felt there could have been a few more spins put on things. I will say that I am ready for the next book though, because I have to know how things play out for Gian and Cara, and finding out who ordered certain hits (sorry to be vague, but...spoilers).
