Let's start with the fact this is a prequel, I knew that going in as it's noted in the description, it's also not a happy ending type of story ...hence the word prequel. But, what it is is a wonderfully written enemies to lovers, secret friends novella. An intro to Damiano De Luca and Renata Vitali's story that will leave you wanting more. And lucky for us, we don't have to wait long at all. Did I mention I adore second chance stories? I cannot wait for theirs. It's going to be ALL the things. I can already tell.
Renata Vitali is the Mafia Princess you can't help but love. She's calm under fire. Has an air of innocence and indifference yet stands her ground. I loved her fierceness especially considering her age. And the fact that she makes decisions based on her heart even though she'd have everyone believe she doesn't have one. Damiano De Luca on the other hand, swoon, what's not to like? He endures so much for others which says the most about the sort of man he is...and if he's like that at 18, what is he going to be like years from now? GAH! I cannot wait to find out. Don't get me wrong, he has some A-hole tendencies but that just makes him all the more endearing...maybe I'm weird.
