Review:

Having read A Favor For A Favor by Nat Chelloni I was delighted to find out that a new book was coming out with the same characters and could not wait to get a chance to read this.  The book sees Gina Leonardi, a 17 year old stunner who is the daughter in a mafia family and is beginning to catch the eye of the wrong people and be seen as a great way to join the families and strengthen their hold of power but why should she have to give up her life and marry a man she has no interest in?  Renzo maybe 29 years old but he is a good and decent man despite his attachments to the mafia, can he save Gina from the life she dreads and if he does then what does it mean for the power struggles within the families?

This is a simply brilliant book that has a tiny markdown for editing but this is a book that reminds me of the kind of quality I found when reading work by Mario Puzo who is best known for the Godfather.  As an author who takes time to ensure a story makes sense, it is clear that Nat is not just looking for something that has a flow which makes sense but also that the language throughout fits the story being told, the characters and their decisions ring true and so many more little details that can trip up other authors.  For me this is an author who is at the top of their game and deserves readers to check out her work.
