Buongiorno a tutti ♥
Questa mattina pubblicherò ben tre post, lo sapete?! Cominciamo con il mio commento ▬ anche se non c'è molto da dire ▬ sul libro di J. J. McAvoy. Non appena ho iniziato a leggerlo avevo pregato che fosse un romanzo degno di essere chiamato tale, e visto che trattava di mafia, ero quasi certa che mi avrebbe preso tantissimo. E così è stato... finché non è scoppiato l'amore tra i protagonisti -_- E poi lo stile dell'autrice non mi piaceva, né la confusione che si creava pagina dopo pagina... Mi ricordo che gli unici libri che abbia mai abbandonato sono stati alcuni fantasy/urban fantasy ▬ ma c'è una prima volta per tutto, suppongo... un vero peccato :(

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith meets the Sopranos..."
To the outside world, they look like American Royalty, giving to charities, feeding the homeless, rebuilding the city. But behind closed doors is a constant battle for dominance between two Bosses, cultures, and hearts.
Ruthless People is a romantic crime fiction set in modern day Chicago, and follows the life and marriage of Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan—rivals by blood and leaders through fear. Their marriage, arranged by their fathers in hopes to end years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians.
Liam believes he’s getting a simple-minded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need . . . the complete opposite of Melody. She knows exactly what type of man he is, and would rather die than give up the power she has spent her life building.
The Mafia of the past has evolved, and with rival bosses gunning for them, Melody and Liam will have to learn to work as one to take down those who stand in their way.
1 Marriage x 2 Bosses = 3x the Chaos
*Warning: Due to bad language, graphic violence and sex this is for over-18's only* These are not mobsters with a heart of gold....
They do VERY bad things and will NOT change.
They are criminals...murders.
If things like that bother you Ruthless People is not for you. You've been warned ;)

Non ce l'ho proprio fatta a proseguire :/ decisamente non era il libro che mi aspettavo... Insomma, Mel e Liam sono partiti fortissimo con quel numero di wrestling ▬ e poi? Si sono praticamente innamorati °_° occhi a cuoricino ogni volta che i loro sguardi si incrociavano. No no no no. E poi, è un intreccio pazzesco, troppi personaggi ▬ sembrava di stare leggendo un libro di J. R. Ward o.O no, sorry, cerco qualcosa di mooolto diverso :(
