HAPPY RELEASE DAY

  Good morning my peeps and Happy Release day to Aleatha Romig and her new book . NOW AND FOREVER  book one in the Brutal Vows series

                         BOOK BLURB 

 Capo to the Luciano Famiglia was my birthright.

The cruelty needed to succeed in this life has been beaten into me since I was a young boy. My father, Vincent Luciano, taught by example and with the slap of his hand. My independent streak took me down paths my father would never have gone. With our enemies gaining strength, it is my idea to attempt an alliance with an unlikely bedfellow.

The Roríguez Cartel and the Luciano Famiglia are improbable partners, yet even Vincent Luciano can’t deny the possible benefits. The only way to solidify the deal is for me to marry Catalina Ruiz, the eldest daughter of Andres Ruiz, a top lieutenant in the Roríguez Cartel.

Catalina is young, beautiful, and thinks she understands the path she is being forced to follow. There is no way for her to know the monster she is about to wed. A man doesn’t become a made man at thirteen if he is capable of love. That emotion is beyond my scope of expertise. Saving the famiglia is my goal. And once this alliance is made, ours will be but the first of the brutal vows exchanged.

                   MY REVIEW 

 Catalina Ruiz is a sweet college graduate and the daughter of one of the top lieutenant's daughter in the Roriguez cartel. She is basically forced into marrying the son and the next capo of the Luciano famigila to strengthen the cartel's  ties . But will the marriage be downfall for both Dario and Catalina, love is weakness in the family but theirs is the first that could maybe keep everyone safe . 

Dario and Catalina are one of those couples that you really start to cheer for. Dario is a man that honestly violence has molded him and made him into the man that is today. But there is a side to him that is honestly loving and kind to those that mean something to him. He is also deadly when those he holds close are threatened and or killed . Catalina may be only in her 20's but she is actually wiser than her years . She knows what is to be done for duty but she also has an inner fire that will keep her safe when push comes to shove . They actually are a couple that fit together and really look out for each other.  He is dark, brooding and dangerous and she is his ray of light but is also independent and will fight along side of her husband. 

  This is the first book in a new series for this author, but what I really like that each book will be a stand alone book that you can read and get their story with no cliff hangers . Each book will have a core set of characters and others will pop in and out . I love books like that they are a fun read and you get to get involved with and fall in love with more characters that way. This is a really good read with lots of intrigue and smexy times with a couple that are falling in love This author has a way of taking a dark brooding alpha man and letting him fall for a woman who is sunshine but almost as deadly as he can be.  I can't wait for book two in the series . So if you want a series that would be a great summer beach read with a dark twist . Check it out I promise you will fall for Dario and Catalina.
