Revenge is the first book by Dana Delamar that I have read and it will certainly not be the last. Dana has given us well developed characters and an exciting plot that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat until the very end and the chemistry between Enrico and Kate is electrifying making Revenge a definite must read!!!

Revenge is a fast-paced, gritty, fictional depiction of Mafia life which will grab your attention from beginning to end. This story of corruption and power mixed with romance and steamy sex scenes will have you turning the pages to see what will happen next.

Dana Delamar delivers a well-written, action-packed novel filled with plenty of twists and turns. She delves into the dark world of Mafia life where deception, treachery, revenge, and violence are the norm rather than the exception. Enrico and Kate, the protagonists, are well-developed and draw you into their conflict of love versus honor.

If you love steamy romance, fast-paced action, and a glimpse of the lurid life of the Mafia, then Revenge is a book you don't want to miss.

Here is to a WHOOPING 5 Stars. If I had to describe this book in about 4 words it would be action-packed, sexy, romantic, and adrenaline rushing. I had someone point out that this reminded them of a movie and after reading this I can now say this would make a kick butt movie! There were times when I was fanning myself, sitting on the edge of my seat, and so mad I had to put it down. The steamy scenes were oh so delicious!

This book is all about Enrico Luccshesi, doesn't that name just sound sexy? He is the head of the Lucchesi Mob, and there are many different mob groups. Well, there is a bloody war going on between the Andretti's and the Lucchesi's that stemmed from when Enrico was way younger. I will not tell you the problems that there were because you definitely want to discover them for yourself. Then you throw Kate into the mix, she is a kick butt, independent, strong woman... and she doesn't take crap from no one. Not even Carlo Andretti's (head of the Andretti Mob) nephew Vince. When Vince hits Kate, she knew she had to get away and that's when Enrico and Kate wind up crossing paths!

Now for my feelings on this book. I was a little confused with the vocabulary, about who was who, and who was related to whom? But, let me tell you if you read the vocabulary list in the front of the book it will all start to make sense and then you will be in for the ride of your life. Thank you so so much Dana for asking me to review this! This exceeded my expectations, Revenge was absolutely fabulous. I have never read a book like this before so I didn't know if I would like it BUT I DID, I SO DID! And knowing this is only the 1st book??? WHAT NOW? The ending really killed me, what a cliffhanger. I would have never expected that and now will have to be tortured waiting on Book 2.

I would recommend this to anyone who is a lover of romance, steamy love scenes (AND I'M TALKING JALAPENO HOT!), and action! This is an awesome book and I can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of this series. Be on the lookout for Dana guys, I know I will. And isn't this cover just so awesome? It definitely captures the story!

4.5 stars BRIEF SUMMARY Kate is married to Vince Andretti wh

4.5 stars

BRIEF SUMMARY
Kate is married to Vince Andretti who unknown to Kate is part of the mob. When Vince moves them to Italy, Kate's world as she knows it comes to a screeching halt. Vince becomes this monster under the direction of his cold hearted uncle Carlo and soon Kate is fighting for her life. To try and save herself, Kate accepts help from the enemy, Enrico Lucchesi and the Andretti/Lucchesi war is on. Enrico never wanted to be in the mafia but has had to fulfill his father's duty. He is now fighting for the woman he loves, the child he never new and the world as he sees it should be.

THOUGHTS

Being from New Jersey, the "Soprano State" I love mafia stories! At first, I was so confused by so many characters that I even had to reread the first chapter to make sure I knew who everyone was. After that, It was an enjoyable ride.... I thought Enrico was incredibly sexy and Kate is feisty which makes for a very explosive relationship! I loved how the author incorporated the beauty of Italy and the romantic undertones of the land. The sexual intimacy for me was off the charts!

Now, I will say the mob storyline is kind of weak. Enrico who has lived his life being groomed to be "capo" is he willing to throw it all away, risk his life and that of his family for Kate? I don't think so. I was waiting for Enrico to step up and play the leader against Carlo and stop whining over Kate, finally at the end we see Enrico do what he is suppose to do. For me, I am a romance junkie so I didn't mind that the mob story was kind of secondary to the romance.

This is the first of a 4 book series and look forward to reading about everyone’s story! I really enjoyed this book! The research the author did is evident and the sensual overtones are scorching!! Highly recommend this read!!

Story - GREAT
Intimacy – VERY VERY SPICY
Enjoyment - GREAT

Fast paced and gritty - it leaves you wanting more. It's a romance and a mystery with some great plot twists and solid writing that keeps you turning the pages until well past your bedtime. The characters are well developed and intruiging. You feel like you've been transported to Italy and into the world of the Mafia from the very first page. I can hardly wait for the second book to come out!

MUST READ - Great Twists and Turns and HOT ROMANCE!!

**DISCLAIMER** The Author Sent me a Copy of this book to Review

I gave this 5 stars, since I could not give it 4 1/2; it's a book I know I'll read again.

I'm not usually the kind of person who will seek out a book that talks about the Mafia - I'm not a fan of 'stuff in boxes', etc, however, in this case, I'm very glad I took the chance and read it. The amount of research that Dana did was impressive. The way she captured the language, the way that the Mafiso works in that area, the 'code' that some of the more 'respectable' Mafiso stick too and the visuals of the area are fantastic.

Quick breakdown of the novel ~

Kate, a fair skinned American beauty, is living in Italy; she married Vince Andretti after a whirlwind courtship and not knowing that much about his 'family'. Kate's gut has told her something is 'amiss' about her husband, little does she know that he is part of the ruthless Andretti family.

Enter Enrico Lucchesi, a handsome, widowed businessman who also happens to be the capo of the Lucchesi family; he is also Kate's boss at the orphanage where Vince has reluctently let Kate work.

Enter the twists and turns of this compelling novel.

Dana weaves such a wonderful story of love, passion, trechery, 'old code' and lies that I stayed up til after midnight reading. The novel got a slow start, then once it got going you were drawn into this 'world' where people live by a different set of rules. A world where men have closed door meetings, where you might receive something in a box that belonged to someone you and love as a 'message'.

You watch the main characters grow, they fight, the love, they lie and they feel; they are well rounded and you can actually picture running into them in Italy and seeing the events unfold. The end of the book left me wanting to read the next novel.
