She’s a romantic at heart but in her world... she’s just not meant to have the romance of her dreams... and in walks her walking nightmare. Elena is nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her sweet and docile nature, she is known for her beauty .... but after an incident she’s been kept under locks by her family. When her younger sister is forced to marry in her stead... Elena finds that she just might be falling for the one person she’s not suppose to be. Nicolas Russo is a Made Man, he’s reputation is as black as his heart. Nicolas was told that Elena was “unfit” to be married to but when he meets her he realizes that the only “unfit” thing about her is that every man in this world would want her. Nicolas becomes engaged to Elena’s sister but the chemistry between the two of them is undeniable despite how much they try to fight it. Elena has a deep dark secret and she is hell bent on fixing it. Nicolas can’t get Elena out of his mind, his soul, and he’ll do anything to make her his. Two people who aren’t meant to be together soon find themselves in unlikely situations and a deep love that neither had been expecting. This was a fun read, I did like how unrelenting Elena is about doing what she wants and doing whats right. She’s sweet, stubborn, and just all around a lovable protagonist. The romance between her and Nico was great, the sexual tension was real.
