Nico by Sarah Castille
Blurb
Las Vegas Mafia boss, Nico Toscani, is used to getting what he wants, whether it is having the City of Sin under his rule or a beautiful woman in his bed. But when he meets his match in the gorgeous, headstrong Mia Cordano, the daughter of a rival crime lord, all bets are off. . .
Sexy computer hacker, Mia, struggles to break free of her ruthless father’s Mafia ties…but she can’t resist the powerful and seductive Nico, who will stop at nothing to possess her. With their families locked in a brutal war for control of the city, Mia and Nico enter into a forbidden game. Will they surrender to the passion that burns between them—and risk tearing apart their families? Or will Nico be forced to betray the only woman who sets his blood on fire?
My Review
Nico is another steamy romance from Sarah Castille and she’s taking on the Mafia story line. I know a few authors have taken on this genre, but I have to say that I was happily surprised at how much I enjoyed this book and her take on the Mafia story.
While not entirely dark, it has dark elements of the Mafia world, but there are quite a few lighter moments. I really liked Mia’s sense of humor and sarcasm, in the face of the danger surrounding her. Nico and Mia’s interactions are what draw you into and keep you inside the story. Their dialogue and banter make this a must-read.
Sarah Castille has created multi-dimensional characters that leap off the page and right into your heart. Nico has more than one layer and it takes a while to get to the Nico that we can fall in love with, but that journey is worth it. Secondary characters are also given dimension and make for an intriguing novel.
Engaging story line and well-written characters make Nico a great weekend read.
