This story was a pick from the Dark Romance Book Club that I am a part of and I just had a blast with this one here. It was so amazing and its also my first book that I discovered that has a "Phantom of the Opera" feel to the story in the retelling. So if you are a fan of the movie or musical, then I highly recommend this one to you. It was so delicious in how it had all these small connections to the story itself that I just loved so dearly. This is a mafia romance, so it definitely has some darker elements as the hero is a stalker of sorts and is head of the mafia on this one. Our heroine is a singer and learning her craft. Its set in New Orleans (Which is one of my favorite settings for romance but most especially for gothic feeling stories). I think what I loved most about this one was our characters discovering a deeper connection with each other. I instantly fell deep in love with this author's writing style and the way in which she really grabs at your attention. And the mafia side of the story was so different but very cool. I really enjoyed the way the "mafia" elements were incorporated into this one. I also just loved the music feel to the story and the development for both characters there. We also have some diversity representation on this one as the hero is highly scarred and was tortured and our heroine is suffering from mental illness with bi polar disorder. And I felt like the author really showcased these so well in such a real way.

Overall I fell hard for this story and if you love a good retelling then I highly recommend you grab this one right up!!
