"She wasn’t what I’d wanted in a wife, but hell, if she wasn’t exactly what I needed."

I 1-clicked new to me author Cora Reilly's Sweet Temptation last night, and it was JUST what I needed!!

An age gap, mafia romance, this was a real quick read but it is dark and emotional and super sexy!! 

Guilia is 17 years old when she is promised to widower Cassio, Underboss of Philadelphia. Super quirky, and cute, Guilia doesn't know anything about raising children, being a wife, especially to a Made Man, but she's about to get a crash course. Guilia gives as good as she gets though, once she gets over her stifling fears, and refuses to wear the stiff over-done dresses Cassio insisted ordered be ordered for her. She also sees right through the games Cassio is playing, forcing Elia to back off only one day into his twisted scheme.

Cassio is screwed. If anyone knows what his dead wife put him through they could have him killed, and his children. The only way out is through a virginal 17 year old girl, thank god he won't be marrying her until she's legal right? Cassio has no intention of spending time with her until Luca threatens him, and his son, again, and he knows he has no other option. He will protect Daniele with everything he has, even from himself, and whatever his scheming dead wife told the boy.

Honestly, I had no idea what to expect, but this book is SO GOOD!! It starts off sweet, speeds up to super steamy, kicks up the suspense because no one knows how Cassio's wife died except him and his consigliere, Faro. 

This was a perfect book to start with Cora Reilly, and it definitely won't be my last! Allll the stars for this age gap, Mafia Romance!!
