Review: The Mafia and his Angel part 1

Title: the Mafia and His Angel part 1
Series: Tainted Hearts Series
Author: Lylah James
Blurb:

Alessio…

Cold. Ruthless. Killer. I am respected and feared by all.

I wasn’t put on this earth to love or be loved. I was put here to wipe out every last member of the damn Abandonato mafia, to pay them back for my mother’s death.

When I find a strange girl hiding, beaten, under my bed, I don’t let her live out of compassion. She’s a trinket, my plaything.

Ayla…

I thought Alessio was only one more man who wanted to use me, hurt me, and throw me away. I don’t know what it is to trust anymore. I can’t find my heart under the pain.

Alessio found it. He touched it, and brought it alive again.

But if he discovers just how dangerous I am to him…I’ll lose my life.

Review:

Lylah James is a new to me author - and the Mafia and his Angel books seemed right up my alley so I decided to give them a go.
Ayla is running from her past- but she ended up right in the enemy's home. Now she is walking a thin lie just to survive.
Alessio is a mafia boss- a ruthless killer, who is feared by all. So why is it Shen he finds Ayla instead of killing her on the spot, he let's her live?
Can these two help one another out, or will their pasts haunt them both?
This book does have trigger topics- Rape, PTSD, Depression, Suicide Attempts and Self Harm - which was a little hard for me to read through being through similar situations myself.
Overall I did enjoy the book. I was fascinated with the characters and wanted to find out more about them. The story line was interesting, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series to find out what happens next. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...
