The Kiss Thief
Good but a bit slow!
I liked the story overall but it all moved along a bit too slow for me. This book is about Nineteen year old Francesca, a mob princess who is about to get engaged to her childhood sweetheart Angelo. However, Senator Wolfe Keaton swoops in after meeting her at a party and blackmails her father into an engagement and takes her away to his home that day. The Senator is intent on destroying her father, the leader of “The Outfit”.
The book is a slow burn romance with a lot of bickering between the two main characters, they take a long time to get to know each other, she gardens a lot and is a chain smoker which is pretty gross! Wolfe is pretty jealous of her love for Angelo, though he keeps saying he doesn’t really want a traditional relationship with her. When the book heats up it is pretty good. I guess I’m not a big slow burn fan.
