My Review of LUCA by Sarah Castille
Sarah Castille has filled LUCA with steaminess, drama, and (best of all!) the mafia. This is the second book in the Ruin & Revenge series and I think it’s even better than the first. Can a good girl and a bad boy fall in love and how will they make it work?
Filled with guns, gangsters, and sexiness, Luca and Gabrielle have to face struggles and life-altering decisions if they are going to survive unscathed. Sarah Castille gives us a complete story filled with action and suspense. The story was intense, but Matteo added a bit of lightheartedness to the story as a whole. Luca’s mother added another dimension in the form of pushing Luca to be the best guy he could be. Don’t all moms want that for their kids?
While there were moments that Gabrielle came across as naive, I still found strength in her character and enjoyed her moments with Luca. The twists and turns within the storyline added to my overall enjoyment of the book. If you like a good mafia romance with a good girl/bad boy theme, then go ahead and pick up LUCA for your weekend beach read.
