## Description

I didn’t know who Giovanni Santa Maria was the night I walked into my apartment to find him sitting in my armchair drinking my whiskey while his men stood sentry. I didn’t need to know to understand he was dangerous. But he knows who I am and he needs something from me. Something I can’t give him. I’m a cartel princess. I was one, at least. Until my family was betrayed, the cartel toppled. And I’m not supposed to be alive. Giovanni finding me means my enemies will find me too. But I’ve caught his attention and he wants more than my secrets. I’ll fight him. I have to. But he’s a man used to getting what he wants and what he wants is me.

Review: Series - What a ride, women that brings their men to their knees, love wins, too much pain, sorrow, betrayal, hope and HEA, steamy, every couple has such dynamic, strength, Sergio 's story made cried, I was not sure if I was going to finish it, but I did, recommend the series, enjoy
Review: Good read - I always enjoy reading books by Natasha Knight, and this book is no exception. Giovanni is a spin-off of the Benedetti brothers series. I loved that series and while this book wasn't as good as the ones in that series, it's still a great read. Giovanni works for Dominic, head of the Benedetti family mob and he is looking for Alessandro, another bad guy. Alessandro is the brother of Emilia, who has lots of painful secrets of her own to hide. Giovanni thinks he can get Alessandro to come out of hiding by grabbing hold of Emilia, not realizing that Alessandro hates Emilia, hurt her terribly a long time ago and wants to come back to hurt her even more. When Giovanni realizes that Alessandro may be a danger to her, he vows to not only use her to draw Alessandro out but promises to protect her as well. Emilia hates the fact that she is very attracted to Giovanni and they have a lot of wild sex, she can only find fulfillment if someone hurts her during sex. In the midst of the various plot twists (and there are several), Giovanni and Emilia fall in love. So, what's to like about this book. The sex scenes are super hot (you'll need a fan) and the mystery part of the plot is very intriguing. I liked but didn't love the book bc I had a hard time believing or understanding why Emilia was having sex with Giovanni, a man she didn't know and didn't trust. I get that she liked rough sex but I would also think that given her traumatic background, she'd be more careful and get to know her partners first before she could trust that they wouldn't really hurt her. It also seemed a little unrealistic that he basically took over her life and she let him. I think he was a little too alpha/controlling for me and Emilia needed a little more backbone when it came to him. If you like dark romance, then you'll like this book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ms Knight does not disappoint with Giovani's and Emelia's Journey
*by D***L on July 20, 2018*

Ms Knight does not disappoint with Giovani's and Emelia's Journey,i was on an emotional high,this book was addictive.The words captivated me completely,every single word mattered and I enjoyed the complexity between Giovanni and Emelia.This book was raw and disturbing in such a good way.You enter a violent world where families are decimated,violated,vengeful acts are carried out at the hands of enemies but worse still by family members.A book that gives you a glimpse of a world that is dangerous,destructive and evil at times.Giovani Santa Maria has a cold hearted agenda,he will use any means to destroy Alessandro Estrella including using his sister as bait.Giovani is dark,menacing in the best possible way,he emanates raw power and masculinity. Emilia Larrea Estrella was daddy's spoiled princess but she never expected the extent her brother would go to exact his revenge.Emilia went to great lengths to hide her identity and put her past behind her.Giovani brought her past painful past back with devastating consequences.Giovano is used to having his own way and he wants Emilia,she is the link to finding Alessandro,but at what price.The chemistry between them is magnetic,two peas in a pod,brought together by brutal pasts which will shaped their future.Emila is damaged body and soul.She is hanging on by a thread,and if it breaks she will be unable to put herself back together.She needs the pain Giovani provides,its explosive and all she deserves. Giovani will protect her at any costs,broken pieces and all.In this book, the author handles the complexity of the characters expertly,you will find yourself liking Giovani regardless of his brutality.There are moments of hidden strength that shine through and make you catch your breath.Reading of Emilia's vulnerable journey was both heart warming and heart shattering.This book touched my soul,i loved how attuned Giovani and Emilia were to each other's feelings.This story has many layers and I enjoyed pulling each layer back,helping me to understand what motivated both Giovani and Emilia and how they respond to each other's needs.This booked ticked all the right boxes for me,the author has an ability to draw you in from the first page.I Cant wait for the next book in this series.
