She's been trapped in a cage all her life and when her father sells her hand in marriage to the King of the crime Underworld who is known as The Devil, she's finding that maybe he might be the perfect devil for her. Carina Fiore is the daughter of a crime family, having been abused all her life and forced to do things she never wanted to do including killing her younger brother. She dreams of escaping yet when her father sells her hand in marriage to the king of the crime underworld, Constantine Donati, she's afraid she's just traded one cage for another. Constantine is known as the Devil, he's ruthless, he's powerful, and one secret about him, he's been obsessed with Carina for 10 years now. He's worked meticulously to finally get her hand in marriage and is determined to free her from her family and finally get her to embrace who she truly is, the Queen to his King. Constantine knows it'll take a lot to convince Carina that he's on her side and that he'd burn the world down for her... but he has to first get her to accept herself and the darkness within her to get revenge against all those who hurt her. This was a delicious mafia romance!!! I am always a sucker for a down bad man, and the fact that he's been crazy aout her for 10 years and would do anything for her? 10/10, just such a fun read. I absolutely need the next book in this series!!!! I loved the growth that Carina goes through and just how supportive and kind Constantine was with her. They truly were such a fun couple to read and they had fantastic chemistry! If you like steamy mafia romances, absolutely pick this one up!
