Aria pushes ALL Quinn's buttons and then some!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I think this is the tamest Mafia book I've ever read and I really enjoyed it!

Quinn goes to kill Aria's father, in revenge for him killing Quinn's youngest brother, but taking Aria becomes an impromptu change of plan. While Aria is saved from one Mafia arranged marriage, she finds it's a case of, out of the frying pan, into the fire with Quinn. Will he let her go, when he gets what he wants from Aria's father? Or will he be her new jailor?

I liked this, I liked this a LOT.

Aria is headstrong and has her own mind, but she knows her place in her father's life. When he says jump, she asks, how high? Because anything else will get someone else hurt. Quinn is the head on the Lyons Irish Mafia Kings, the eldest Lyons. Getting revenge for his brother's death becomes his only plan, and then he has Aria to contend with. The woman pushes ALL his buttons and then some. Letting her go becomes the least pleasurable thing he has to do, but he does. He just has to hope she will come back to him.

My only niggle with this, I found the romance between Aria and Quinn sort of sprang out of nowhere. Quinn knew she was his, very early, but the romance, the love? That kinda walloped me upside the head, almost 3/4 of the way in. They were fighting, then she was gone.

BUT

A very enjoyable 4 star read.

fab read
This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a fast paced story with added hot and steamy parts. I loved the characters, the author manages to create such different personalities and fits them into the storyline really well. This is a fun and enjoyable read with the added mafia drama element. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended read

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Photosynthesis is unlike any other boardgame. Usually when I explain games to new players, I can say 'this is like mafia' or 'this is like Dominion.' But Photosynthesis is unlike any other game that we have played.

I will warn you: it is cutthroat. The more people you have, the more that you need to compete with other players for sunlight.

The game's charm can wear off after a while. But if you can get it on sale, it is worth playing 15ish times.
