Tonya's Review
5 Stars
Leigh Ann Lunsford has become one of my go to authors. I have loved every book of hers. And I now love this one too. This book is a bit different from her
previous books. I didn’t need a full box
of Kleenex to get through it. I believe
this is the first book of hers that didn’t have me crying. I still teared up at one point, but no tears
actually fell.
Callie Locati is sixteen when this story starts. Her father, Frank, is the underboss for the
Agosto Crime Family. Her best friend is
Bianca Agosto, and she’s in love with Bronson, Bianca’s older brother. Her father is a major jerk. And he’s up to something. He will use his only child to get it
too. He promised her to Marco, who is
seven years older than she is.
Bronson is the son of the Boss. He is eighteen when this story starts. He’s always wanted Callie, but, she was too
young. That is until he finds out about
Marco. All bets are off then. She is his!
These two go through a lot.
But they do really love each other.
“Our father’s sins aren’t ours but we continue to battle
them and are cut by them.”
That quote basically sums up everything in this book.
Callie has some tough decisions to make throughout this
book. She puts everyone she loves about
herself.
I love all these characters.
There was a section I wanted to slap Bronson and yell at him to get his
head out of his ass!
“Love may conquer all, but if the person you love doesn’t
want to climb those uphill battles with you, then it’s not worth it. You can open your heart, bleed out and offer
them your life, but until they are willing to sew up the gash you are bleeding
out of and mend the past scars, it’s just another step in life, not the merging
of two paths.”
Now I want Dakota’s story!

Excerpt
Despair and indecision linger around us, filling up the church. It’s weaving its way between each and every one of us; the loyalty that was once aligned with my family is now going to be called into question, the uncertainty of what will happen to the former soldiers and associates that worked for my father will be called into question and decisions will have to be made. The man responsible was never relieved of his duties as second in command and these men mourning my father’s demise aren’t in a position to question whatever orders they are given, not unless they want to meet the same detriment my father did. Frank Locati will seek to destroy everything my father built, he will challenge these men’s loyalties, harm the ones he doesn’t deem worthy.
As I watch the casket being lowered into the grave, surrounded by loved ones, enemies, and friends a decision is made. Today, I decide, retribution will be mine. The difference between my retribution and theirs is that the justice system will take care of mine. It may not come swiftly, or as brutally and messy as they deliver, but it will come.
