Ruthless Oath
Ella Jade
Mafia Romance
Kidnapped by a savage enemy
As heir to the throne in a royal mafia family, it’s my job to get the information needed to bring my father home. And that means kidnapping a rival’s spoiled mafia princess daughter.
At the time, I don’t know the man is in negotiations to marry her off to a brutal arms dealer, but when I discover how difficult of a captive she is, it kind of makes sense. Soon, she foolishly starts to see me as the lesser of evils, but while she seems willing to be my captive, she’s mistaken to believe I’m doing her any favors.
I can’t allow anything to distract me. Especially not some naïve woman who doesn’t realize we’ve just set off a mob war. Now the only way to stop what I started and be reunited with my father is to let her go.
Problem is, I’ve fallen for my hostage, and while I have the guts, power, and resources to keep her as a willing prisoner, if I make the wrong choice, it could cost my family’s empire everything.
Uncaged Review: This is definitely different from what I usually read, even with it being an enemy to lover story. The powerful Accetti family holds an annual car auction where anyone and everyone that is of importance goes. Marchello Accenti sees many people, including his longtime enemy of the family-Lissia Gallanti. Marchello knows that Lissia is off limits, so he just converses with her briefly. After the auction, though, Lissia hears a horrible plan from her father that she has been betrothed to their arms dealer. Lissia’s plan was to run away and run straight into Marchello. With Marchello’s help, he kidnaps Lissia and takes her to a secret hideaway, but even with her being held captive, Marchello can’t avoid falling in love with Lissia, even though it could possibly destroy his family and everything he holds dear.
Yes, I normally stay far away from reading mafia romance stories because usually they don’t interest me, but there was just something about this tale that I couldn’t resist! So, yes, the book was engaging, the characters were chaotically disturbingly messy but so intriguing! Good thing though, not a spelling error was noticed, and the book flowed easily too. I instantly fell for Marchello. Even though I didn’t like his tough boy façade he still had a soft spot that was irresistible and Lissia, despite her naiveness and youngness, was easy to like. This book still ends on a cliffhanger, so, of course, I will have to read the rest of the series and will, even with this type of book, not really being my cup of tea, but Ms. Ella Jade has swayed me to read at least this series at least.
