The Woman with the Ring: A Mafia Romance by Jessica GadzialaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great addition to the universe of interrelated books from Jessica
Jessica is a prolific author whose new books I tend to gobble up. Her different series (and some standalones) do tend to happen in the same universe, but each have a distinctive feel and rhythm over and above her normal writing style.
This mafia 'series' (The woman ...) is possibly more gritty than other books in this universe. This book has the forced marriage, psycho mafia boss, and a betraying body syndrome tropes. This could have meant a formulaic storyline that cannot hold the reader's attention. However, the characters are wonderfully flawed and thus multidimensional. Although you start to anticipate the twist in the story, guessing the involved characters are almost impossible.
I enjoyed the pace of the book, the chemistry and the evolving relationship between Isabella and Primo as they personally adjust to their new reality. In all a great read.
