Review: the Sweetest Oblivion

 


Title: the Sweetest Oblivion

Series: Made series

Author: Danielle Lori

Release Date: June 2018



She’s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds . . .


Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa . . . or was.


Now, all she can see in the mirror’s reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint.


They say first impressions are everything . . .


In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat—even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elena’s first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he’s just as rude as he is handsome.


She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he’s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.


And he’s 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 she’s 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 don’t fall in love with a Made Man . . . right?


This is a standalone forbidden romance.



Elena is a romantic at heart, living in the underbelly of NYC. She was nicknamed Sweet Abelli because she was always so sweet and docile, the perfect mafia princess. She does what she is told. Until she meets Nico Russo. He was a Don. Ruthless, cold, and rude and always telling Elena what to do. Set to marry Elena's sister. But neither can get the other off their mind. Even if he was hers, and she could give in to the temptation, there was no way she could fall for a Made Man. 

Elena was more or less a pushover. She was daughter to a mafia boss, so she was always told what to do by everyone around her- and regardless if it was something she liked or agreed with or not, she did it anyways. She only ever stood up for herself when it came to one person, but then immediately gave in anyways. 

Nico was a Don- a mafia boss. He was used to getting what he wanted when he wanted it- and didn't care or take anyone else into consideration. 

Even though it was forbidden- there was an attraction between the two that they couldn't help but act upon. Nico was engaged to Elena's younger sister, yet neither could stay away from the other. 

When news came about that Elena's sister was no good for Nico- he pushed, and killed for Elena's hand in marriage. Now Elena was his- his property, fiance, his to marry.

But of course there was conflict. Something that could have easily been resolved if they just talked to each other. But of course not, why would they? She wants his secrets but doesn't want to share hers. 

This book was long. - it was over 50% that Nico was engaged to Elena's sister before they finally got engaged & got with each other. But also, everything that happened took place over the course of just a few weeks. Honestly, I didn't feel the attraction between these characters- didn't feel the spark. Didn't care for either one or if they even got together in the end or not. And I wasn't all that invested in their story until about 60% or so. 

Could this story have been shorter? Yes. Or spaced out better. It seems that Nico was engaged to Elena's sister far longer than he was to Elena, and then their relationship when they finally got together was all sex, and everything was just rushed. 

Maybe it was just me, since I'm a mood reader and just may not have been in the mood for this story. Heck, I know not to jump into any book with high recommendations because they never live up to the hype for me. 

I wanted to like the story, to like these characters, but I just didn't click with them. I pushed myself to finish the book, because I was addicted, and wanted to find out what happened- what the big secret/conflict was.  

But just because I didn't like the book, doesn't mean someone else won't love it. 

If you like Mafia romances, arranged marriages or forbidden romances - this is for you. - the will they or won't they, while engaged to another. The forbidden angst & angst of them being practically enemies to start. The arraigned marriage- being forced into close proximity & exploding into their desires the first moment they get the chance. And it's a series of stand alones, so each book will deal with a different Made Man. It is widely popular & highly recommended, so it's most likely just me and not because the book itself wasnt any good. It was a o.k read to pass the time. 3 ⭐ out of 5⭐.

BLURB:

Seriously? You’re back again? It’s clear you don’t value your own life.
Look, last time, I threatened to kill you. That was rude; I’ll admit it. But you read through my story anyway, so you must be dying of curiosity.
Or maybe you’re like me, and it’s the adrenaline that gets you, the thrill. You want your foot on the throttle, the wind in your hair, and a sturdy f*ckboy … or two or three.
But what if there are four? Four unholy terrors. Four men to warm your bed … or wait beneath it, watching from the shadows. And what if you had to pick one to die?
Ash Kelly. Who knew I’d be dating a dead boy? He might be wearing someone else’s skin, but it’ll always be Ash for me. Ash, the obsessive one, the one with the most to lose, the one I can’t trust. My biggest secret.
Kellin Bohnes is always there for me, but he keeps a bulldozer-turned-tank in his warehouse. He has eyes everywhere, but mostly he has eyes for me. Also, he brought me a severed peni$ as a present. His love for me is escalating.
There’s always Adrian Lawless aka Widow to fall back on. He reads romance and strums a guitar, but he isn’t the type to give up on a woman. Not when he’s already claimed her. Not even when he has to help bury the evidence.
Did I mention my cold prince, Alexei Grove? With his father gone, he has nothing left to lose. Piece by piece, his sanity falls apart in my hands, and I love every minute of it. Touch me with your black-gloved hands, sir … Don’t stop.
And of course, you know me—Scarlett Motherf*cking Force.
I’m your only friend: remember that.
Let me warn you one last time; I really don’t want to write your epitaph.
So hit the gas and get the hell out of here.
Just … remember to check the back seat first.
Someone might be waiting for you there.
Love, Me

BLURB:

When it came to Romeo and Juliet, a kiss was never just a kiss.

The Brotherhood. 

There was only one way in and one way out: death.

Power.

That was the code we lived by. It was like a religion in our world. Men would fight for it. Die for it. Kill for it.

Sacrifice.

It was a way of life. Family. Freedom. Our very souls. Everything we had came at a price.

Love.

That was the biggest illusion of all.

I f*cked up and fell in love with the enemy. She's too good for me, too good for this world I've been bred to conquer. But I couldn't stay away. When I was near her, the monster beneath the surface begged to be set free.

She was untainted. I wanted to desecrate her.
She was flawless. I wanted to ruin her.
She was light. I wanted to drag her into the darkness.
She was forbidden. I took her anyway.
I crossed a line and started a war. Both of our families were out for blood.
The only question is, who will bleed first?

A unicorn walks into a bar...except there are no unicorns or bars in the court of the Unseelie fae, which sucks because Marly could really use a drink.

Honestly, going from human to vampire, to something not quite mortal would drive anyone to drink. Being hounded by a grudge-holding kitsune didn't help, either. But when the king of the Unseelie fae declared Marly his queen and the hope of his people, it seemed her troubles were over, and off they went to his magical kingdom in a reality-tv-worthy happily ever after.

Except it's more hard landing than happy ending. Marly is thrown into the crosshairs of ancient hatreds where war masquerades as etiquette, shadows must beg for light, and things with tentacles are just waiting for something to go wrong. And something is going wrong...very wrong.

With every mis-step, she stumbles closer to the edge of a darkness waiting to consume her, and the king's love is like a poison that can cure or kill. Her only hope is to unveil the truth dancing in the great mirrors in the sky, even if that sky comes crashing down.

Paige in Progress

It wasn’t in my plan to take care of my teenage sister, but with our parents now gone, I move back to the town I left 12 years ago to do just that. My sister is full of attitude and doesn’t miss the opportunity to remind me that I’ve traded off my corporate office for small-town antics or that Brooke Rivers, of all women, is living next door with an adorable three-year-old kid who may just wrap me around her finger—the kid, I mean… okay, the mom too.


But it’s complicated.


It involves a weekend way back, in a bed Brooke and I never left—the memory of me hurting her, and the moment Brooke got her chance to hurt me too. In her head, she’s built a giant wall between us. In my mind, I’m determined to tear it down. And as luck would have it, I need her cookies for the high school bake sale, and she needs my skills at putting together her daughter’s new playhouse. Soon we are exchanging favors, and even better, our clothes are ending up on the floor in the process.

BLURB:

Trainwreck…


I don’t like to talk about my past or my family’s history. It’s depressing and an unwelcome reminder of the monsters who walk among us, but the people responsible for my family’s destruction keep popping back up. 


I’m now in a position to do something about it. I have the Soulless Kings MC at my side and, like me, they won’t simply roll over and ignore what’s happening. When my sister returned, I vowed to take down anyone connected to her disappearance, and I’m making progress. But, like a cockroach, more keep crawling out of the woodwork and forcing me to remain entrenched in their filth. That’s why, when the sister of one of our own comes up missing, I take it upon myself to save her or die trying. 


Sylvia…


I grew up in the Black Savages MC, but it was my sister who was treated like their princess. I wish I could say I wasn’t jealous, but the fact of the matter is, I was. And then all hell broke loose. Right was left and left was right… nothing made sense. My sister married into another MC and I was left alone to pick up the pieces. 


I tried like hell to do just that and while I found some sense of normalcy, the pieces never quite fit. One tragedy after another follows me, knocks me on my ass until I simply can’t stand back up without help. And when he shows up to play savior, I have no choice but to trust he can get the job done. I also don’t seem to have a choice when my heart decides to jump into the mix and confuse everything.
