Book Summary:

He already took everything from me, but now he's back and won't take no for an answer.

In a tale as old as time, a mafia princess fell in love with the wrong boy, or in my case, boys. I am Jasmine Isabella Falcone, and I grew up knowing that I needed to be on my guard from the snakes around me. But, even knowing that, I still fell in love with Angelo Esposito and Dario Lombardi.

Crushed and humiliated, I try to move on, but some ghosts are harder to shake. Now, at twenty-three, I am being forced into an arranged marriage where I’ll be expected to fulfill my duties as a wife and mother. But I dream of building something different and crave freedom from the shackles of the patriarchy. So I do the only thing I can and run. On my own for the first time on a picturesque country property nestled between Sinhaven and Beastville, I try to rebuild my life.
But fate proved that just because you run from your past doesn’t mean it won’t catch up to you.

The fairytales have it wrong. Not every story ends with a knight in shining armor.

My Thoughts:

 

This storyline had an Aladdin vibe. There was lots of witty back-and-forth banter, some steamy parts, violence, and love. The characters were likable if not a bit silly at times. For example, the MFC Jasmine decides to grow fruit, and vegetables, and sell them at a fruit stand... In a week they are fully grown and ready for sale. What? Other than that I enjoyed the story and the characters.
