Blurb
Sheās a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worldsā¦ Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. Sheās the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessaā¦ or was. Now, all she can see in the mirrorās reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint.They say first impressions are everything . . .In the murky waters of New Yorkās underworld, Elenaās sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheatāeven measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elenaās first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes heās just as rude as he is handsome. She doesnāt like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesnāt stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when heās near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.And heās always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but sheās beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you donāt fall in love with a Made Manā¦ right?

The Sweetest Oblivion, written by the fabulous Danielle Lori, this baby kicks off the Made Series in style. Meet our main gal, Elena Abelli, your modern-day princess smack dab in the heart of the mafia world. Elenaās story gets spicy when a past indiscretion leads her little sis engaged to none other than Nicholas Russo, aka Nico ā the bad boy of the mafia scene. Talk about a wild ride, am I right?šĀ Elenaās journey from a people-pleaser to a fearless pursuit of her desires had me cheering her on. At the same time, Nicoās dangerous yet irresistible vibe kept me hooked. I couldnāt put the book down. Their chemistry? Off the charts.š Seriously, sparks fly every time theyāre in the same room and the sexual tension? Whew, itās enough to make you blush just reading about it.š„°š But itās not all rainbows and butterflies. These two have their fair share of challenges to overcome, with the dark side of the mafia lurking around every corner. But donāt worry, itās not all doom and gloom! Alongside Elena and Nico, youāve got a whole cast of characters adding color and depth to their world, making every twist and turn more thrilling.āØšš
And as Elena and Nicoās love story unfolds, it becomes more than just physical attraction ā itās about finding yourself and rebelling against the hand youāve been dealt. This book is a testament to the magic of storytelling, whisking us away on a literary adventure thatāll stay with you long after youāve turned the last page. If youāre a sucker for mafia romance like me, consider this your next must-read. Trust me, it left a mark on my soul and might do the same for you! šāØšš„°š
Danielle Loriās novels incorporate morally questionable heroes, electric hate to love relationships, and sometimes sweet but mostly sassy heroines. She has written in both the fantasy subgenre as well as contemporary, but will never stray from romance.Ā A normal day for her includes coffee, bodice rippers, and 1990s chick flicks. She lives in small-town Iowa with her husband, son, and too many dogs.
