She’s a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds . . .
Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She’s the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa . . . or was.
Now, all she can see in the mirror’s reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint.
They say first impressions are everything . . .
In the murky waters of New York’s underworld, Elena’s sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat—even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elena’s first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he’s just as rude as he is handsome.
She doesn’t like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn’t stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he’s near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice.
And he’s always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she’s beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another.
Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don’t fall in love with a Made Man . . . right?
This is a standalone forbidden romance.

Mafia Romance Books The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lori
I have seen this book on so many of my friend’s reading lists and so I became curious. What’s all the fuss about? Never heard of the author before but I love good mafia romance books, so what the hell?
Oh, my goodness this book was so good. From the first word to the last I was glued to the pages. From their first glance the chemistry between Elena and Nico was electric although he was engaged to her younger sister. No cheating though…it was an arranged marriage as is the way among La Cosa Nostra but like a moth to a flame Elena and Nico could not be apart. It was heartwarming to read their story and see how they could not not be together.
The story was so well written and although it was a slow burn the sexual chemistry between the hero and heroine was blazing hot. I can’t wait to dive into more books by this amazing author.
I HIGHLY recommend it.
