I absolutely loved this book and the characters. Portia is emotionally wounded from her divorce but decides on a vacation to Sicily with her younger sister Jayla. She tries to enjoy herself but her intuition keeps warning her that everything isn't as it seems. When Jayla tells her to loosen up and Portia finally relinquishes her need to be in control and analytical, she finds comfort in the arms of Rafael.
Rafael is a dreamboat whose concern and admiration for Portia was so romantic, despite his status as mafia kingpin. He's known to be ruthless but when he and the object of his affections reunite in the States, he is determined to have her. Except now his American beauty knows exactly who he is and tries to keep her distance.
The plot was so good and kept me engrossed the whole time. Sienne's writing ability is fabulous and the characters were relatable and funny, especially Jayla. The spice had an intimate vibe and Rafael's attention to Portia's needs was so well-written. A really good mafia story.
