Sinopsis from Goodreads

When Gianna watched her sister Aria getting married to a man she barely knew, she promised herself she wouldn’t let the same thing happen to her. 


Matteo – The Blade – Vitiello set his eyes on Gianna the moment he saw her on his brother Luca’s wedding, and Rocco Scuderi is more than willing to give his daughter to him, but Gianna has no intention of marrying for any other reason than love. A few months before the wedding, Gianna escapes her bodyguards and runs away. She has enough money to flee to Europe and begin a new life. But staying undetected when the mob is searching for her is a challenge that takes everything, especially as one of their best hunters and assassins is after her: Matteo Vitiello. 


After six months on the run, Gianna finally settles into a tentative routine in Munich, but then Matteo and a couple of her father’s soldiers find her with another man. 

Despite her pleads they kill her boyfriend, and Gianna is forced to marry Matteo. Her emotions alternating between guilt over having dragged an innocent into her world and hatred toward Matteo, Gianna is determined to make life hell for her husband. But Matteo is a master at mind games and their struggle for power soon turns into hate-fueled nights of passion. 


My Review

"God, no wonder Father didn't want us to be around men. Now that I knew how good kissing felt, I never wanted to stop doing it."  - Gianna

Matteo and Giana's relationship is so hilarious. Dari pertama ketemu saja sudah seperti kucing dan anjing. Saling cakar dan menggoda. Matteo seperti bad-boy yang suka menggoda dan sedangkan Giana seorang tsundere (if you know what I mean :D). 

Tapi seiring berjalannya cerita Giana makin menyebalkan. Gengsinya setinggi skyscrapper. Pengen aku jitak saja rasanya saking gemesnya. Dibalik sikap menyebalkannya sebenarnya Giana itu hatinya lembut, tidak bisa melihat darah alias fobia, sayang banget sama kakak dan adik-adiknya. 

Matteo, well, I don't know but.. I like all hero in this series (Luca, Dante, and Matteo) they always protective of their women. 

Overall, cerita romance mereka kayak anak SMA yang dikemas dalam kehidupan mafia penuh darah. Tetep saja kalau bukan Matteo yang jadi hero dan Giana jadi heroinnya, ceritanya gak akan roller coster seperti ini :D 



"I want to pull him closer and push him away at the same time, wanted to hide and open up to him, wanted and not wanted." - Gianna
