I've only read Amelia Wilde's 'By Any Other Name' from this box set, but that story alone makes it worth while. The book is a very very loose retelling of Romeo and Juliet, which would normally put me of, but I have to say I really enjoyed this.
Amelia has a lovely writing style that just draws you into the story, with characters who have warmth and depth. I really liked both Gio and Sia, I believed in them and cared about them. The plot moved with a good pace and the story held my attention throughout. I found this book really easy to read, it wasn't too full of angst, though it does have emotional depth.
I loved the little twist at the end, and am quite intrigued as to whether there will be more mafia books from the author in the future. As a mafia romance this is quite different from her other books, but I absolutely adored it and really do hope she writes more of these.

DNF. (Had less to do with the book and more to do with my current reading tastes.) it didn’t hold my interest. May come back to it later.

O received this book as an arc and here is my honest review. Leah moves to new york to find the man that ruined her life and future, after making friends with a family that runs a diner which Marco dined in she plans to seduce him so she can ruin him in return. He wants her so invited her his island to spend the weekend as they grow close their pasts come back to haunt them and it seems that both their lives are in danger. Can the lovers reconnect and sail off in to the sunset? Great read from one of my favourite authors
