Mafia Queen Rules
Keep your mouth shut.
In the dusty summer orchards of 1939 San Jose, California, seventeen-year-old Violetta Giordano lives a bucolic life. But appearances are deceptive. In the Giordano family, ties to the Mafia stretch as far away as Sicily and bind just as tightly.
Sacrifice your heart and soul.
Ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, sexual desire, and forbidden love, with a handsome young immigrant named Gaetano, Violetta’s plans are uprooted when she is forced into an arranged marriage with one of the most notorious crime bosses in the country. To protect her family and the man she loves, Violetta tempers her heart and surrenders her sanity.
Endure a life of treachery and abuse.
The deeper Violetta submerges into her underground, macabre world, the harder it is to gauge her morality. Such is the life of a Mafia queen.
Play the game to survive. No one refuses a Don and gets away with it. The mob always collects.
Edgy and emotional, ruthless and romantic, Queen of Secrets is told through the captivating lens of two courageous women whose mother-daughter bond—not of blood but through blood—is their only escape.
Wow!! I loved this book! I absolutely loved reading Vi's story - I found that I couldn't put the book down as I needed to find out more about her life and what happened.
I loved the relationship between Vi and Barbara and loved watching this grown and change. At first I thought that Barbara would not stick at it with Vi not being the nicest of patients to look after, however it was lovely to see the relationship develop and I knew that Barbara was growing on Vi too which was lovely to see.
I really enjoyed that most of it was set in the past with Vi telling her story, I was literally so upset with the fact that her Dad made her go through with it! But Vi was and is such a strong woman and that really shows through.
I loved the writing style of the book and it flowed so well, this possibly also led to me being unable to put it down!! The one thing that I dislike is the ending - and that is only because I'm so impatient lol! I can't wait to read the next book in the series! If you would like to grab a copy then you can do so here #Aff
