Amazing! Once again a great story with action, angst and romance. Loving the Costa's and can't wait for more!

Absolutely amazing story. As always Brittney gave us a romance with a whole lot of suspense. She had me worried for a bit but in true Brittney fashion, brought it all together in swoon fashion. I could feel the chemistry and sexual tension between Alessandro and Calliope.

The Costas book 2. Alessandro is the broody playboy older brother of Enzo (Let Me Love You, book 1) of the Costa family. Having been in the Army and now working both for his father and with his siblings for a “side gig”. He’s a billionaire and Calliope is a history teacher and hopes to become a country singer. Alessandro receives a call from an old friend who now works for the Italian mob. He owes Gabriel a favor and he calls it in. He’s told he must marry Calliope, the mob princess, in order to keep her safe. She was raised by her aunt and only recently discovered her father, the head of the mafia, and wants nothing to do with him. He’s ill and wants her to marry and produce an heir to his crime syndicate. She won’t be safe unless she either runs and hides for the rest of her life or marry Alessandro. What starts as a “job” for him turns into something more! Will he end his playboy ways and put his heart on the line and fall for Callie, while she in turn has to decide who she can trust. This was yet another great read by Brittney Sahin. I do recommend you read Enzo’s book first, but if you didn’t I don’t think you would be lost. As usual the spicy scenes are top notch and never disappoint! However, with that being there is also a great storyline filled with suspense.

I will just say, I only intended to read a few chapters today as I had tasks to complete.... Needless to say that I failed at completing my other tasks and instead accidentally finished the book instead!! I not only was unable to put the book down, but I also lost complete track of time!! It is so good and Alessandro has become one of my favorite top 3 male leads that Brittney has written!

Watching Alessandro fight the pull and attraction to Calliope was an intense ride full of emotion & action. I love the strong relationships of the Costa family and the people that they consider their own! This book was an amazing mix of strong, Alpha men/tough, smart women/love/family/ and adventure!! As usual Brittney pulls you into her world and makes you feel like you know and love all of her characters. I cannot wait for the next one of Brittney's adventures.

"I thought you weren‘t mine to keep, and here you are, becoming all I want."

Our first time meeting the two main characters (aside from the previous books we met Alessandro in) is actually their first encounter as well. While Alessandro is a self-proclaimed bachelor/playboy, we learn from the first chapter that he wants to protect Calliope. But don‘t be fooled, she does not make it easy on him.

And while they both try awfully hard believing that they’re not the other‘s to keep, they‘re exactly right for each other (btw I LOVE how Brittney managed to incorporate the book‘s title several times).

As with any Brittney Sahin book, this one is full of unexpected twists and turns that she is able to intertwine seamlessly. Her stories always manage to capture the reader‘s attention – and keep it. You never anticipate what‘s going to happen next – she keeps you on the edge of your seat.

A very prominent theme in the book is light vs. dark. While Alessandro firmly believes he is on the dark end of the spectrum, Callie is able to show him that he‘s not. And as his brother Enzo put it: she‘s bringing him back to life.

What I love about Brittney‘s books is that I never know at the beginning where the story will take me – all I know is that it will be a wild ride with a happily ever after, adorned with suspense, romance, spice, friendship, team spirit, a tight-knit family (the Costas) and the most captivating storyline. Oh, and some amazing crossovers and cameos from some of our most favourite Brittney characters!

Bonus: If you‘re a fan of the "my wife" trope, this one‘s for you!
