Review: just right - spoilers marked - Comparing the author's 3 heroes in the series to Goldilocks and the 3 bears, the hero in this story, Matteo was just right. The 1st book had a cheating hero. He cheated within days of his marriage. The second the hero was faithful, which I loved but IMO he was too cold to the heroine for too long and in love with his dead wife. The hero in this book Matteo was just right. He was faithful, loyal, warm and funny. He was also protective, possessive and jealous, all things I love in a hero. They shared a kiss and then she ran & he chased. In fact he pursued her 6 months, making it a full time job. I was happy that there was no indicated that he smex OW during the 6 month separation. In fact a reference was made by him about how frustrated he was during that time he searched for her, implying that the frustration included sexual frustration. SOME SPOILERS BELOW Matteo fell in love with Gianna, the heroine, quickly and was extremely attracted to her. No other women would do. He was very protective of her. He stood up to everyone who called her a hoe, thinking that she had smex with OM while on the run. While it really upset him thinking that she smexed others, he wanted to marry her anyway. The fact is that she was a virgin and had only kissed around 4 other men which included him. When she was found with OM she intended to break up with him. She did not like the OM enough to get physical with him beyond kissing. Only Matteo's kisses turned her on. Matteo was extremely pleased that she was a virgin. While Matteo was violent it is in keeping with him being part of the mafia and so it is a given and expected that he will be that way. What was important to me was that he was not violent toward her, which would have been unacceptable to me. The smex scenes were hot and there was a HFN ending. END OF SPOILERS I will be reading the next book in the series, keeping my fingers crossed that the subsequent heroes are as good as Mateo.
Review: Gianna was a little much for me - I was anticipating this book because I loved the first so much. It was an odd type of anticipation because I wanted more from the author and every character. I was excited to see Gianna and Matteo's story unfold. But at the same time, I loved Luca and Aria so much I didn't want to read them just as background characters. This book however, was an awesome read and I'm so glad that I gave it a shot. First, for Luca and Aria lovers like myself, this doesn't disappoint. Although we don't get a POV for them in this book, they are heavily included. Secondly, the plot and action of the story was amazing. I was literally gripped in the storyline and couldn't wait to see what was on the next page. I have a few little rants about some of what happened, but this in no way reflects on the author's writing talent. Everyone complains about how Gianna was too stubborn and at one point you just wanted to slap her. I didn't really feel that way for ALMOST all of the book. Again, almost. I felt that Matteo was so patient with her and loved her in the no matter what kind, and for who knows what reason? That was sweet to see. I really enjoyed that this book gave us a POV for him. I loved his humor and how in this book, you get a glimpse into the brothers relationship and I loved it. His humor really balances Luca and brings out the best in him. I found myself laughing out loud at events and things they said. In fact, some of my favorite parts were the conversation and banter between Luca and Matteo. Gianna to me, wasn't annoying as much as confusing. I just didn't understand why she was so dead set against the marriage. Wouldn't it have been ok to be in NY with her sister and with a guy she actually was attracted to? She would've been able to see her other siblings and not be running her whole life, but for some reason it was SO bad for her that running was better. I just never got a feel for why she was so desperate to be away from them when you weighed it all out. Stubbornness, selfishness and pride are the only explanations and those aren't very flattering for her. I could've even handled it and understood for most of the book, but right up to the end, we're talking like 85% into the book and Matteo nearly dies and she wonders if she should just use this as her escape and run. She walks away while he lies there about to quit breathing and contemplates leaving him to die. This is after all they've been through. Of course, she goes back and tries to save him but then many readers have been upset that Luca gave her a deal to save his life and get freedom because he assumed she wouldn't help him. Why are they mad about that? We literally just read that she considered doing just that. So it make sense she can't be trusted freely. She took the deal and Luca was just being an overprotective brother. That's fine because, Aria does that, why can't he? After reading these books and reading reviews it's just easy to see how some people dont want to give the male leads a fair break. That's disheartening. By the end I felt like I was happy to see them work it out and this is the way it should be. Still, because it took so long and she was so prideful right up to the very last pages, I can't ever get fully on board with them as a favorite couple. I feel like she needed to show a little more humility and vulnerability earlier on. All in all, I really liked the book. I just couldn't quite give it 5 stars because of the disconnect I felt with Gianna. So, 4 stars it is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good Love Hate
*by A***E on September 20, 2015*

This was a really good book. When Gianna Scuderi watched her sister Aria getting married to a man she barely knew, she promised herself she wouldn’t let the same thing happen to her. Matteo – The Blade – Vitiello set his eyes on Gianna the moment he saw her on his brother Luca’s wedding. All Gianna wanted was to be free she didn't want to be forced to be married and she certainly didn't want to be married to a man like Matteo who is rich and sexy and a killer he was second in command to his brother Luca who was the boss. I had love hate relationship with Gianna at times she didn't think about no one but herself I felt that in book one it was her fault that Aria her sister got roofied I mean it was Gianna who wanted to go out. In this book she left, but didn't think about what it would do to her family so she goes on the run for six months and she really was lucky her father wanted to give her to a man twice her age. While on the run she realized that no boy lived to Matteo and she got an innocent person killed and everyone thought that she was having sex all over Europe. Gianna was also to stubborn to listen to Aria when she told her to tell Matteo that she was a virgin and she got a shock and so did he. Matteo was the type of person that used humor in every situation I think it was his way of covering up his feeling I think that it Gianna would have really looked she would have seen how he felt. This book was well written like the other books in this series and I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
