All I Want (All's Fair #1)


Another day, another dark romance series (more mobsters). This one is Abrianna Denae's All's Fair series. The first novel is "All I Want." This novel was originally published in the O Deadly Night Anthology and has been since expanded.

["When Carter Russo accepted a position in the Amato Organization, he never expected to get close to the man at the top—let alone end up in his bed.

Cristian Amato is cunning and ruthless, he rules the Family with an iron fist. He never expected to find someone who could be his equal in all things. Yet Carter is one of the few able to see the man beneath the title of Boss.

What should be the best day of their lives is shattered by a betrayal that's closer than anyone could have predicted.

As secrets are revealed and cracks form in the foundation of their lives, Carter and Cristian must put duty above their hearts. Is their love strong enough to survive, or will it prove to be nothing but lies…"]

That was...wow. Ummm..yeah.

Don't get me wrong, that was fabulous! But there was so much blood and torture and heartbreak and lies and agony. It was intense. 

I liked how the story started RIGHT off the bat. Abrianna really shoved us right into the fire. Not just the romance (which has already been going hard and strong for 3 years) but the revealed secrets. It would cut back and forth from torture scenes to perfect family moments. It was jarring, but it a very symbolic kinda way (like if you found out your boyfriend, the love of your life, the person you trust more than anything had been lying to you).

This series has a loooot of potential for more books and more mafia idiots (#communication) falling in love and setting the world on fire.

Trigger Warnings: torture, kidnapping, blood play, knife play, non-graphic but on-page discussions of child abuse, attempted sexual assault, and more.
