When Villains Rise Giana Darling Release and Review

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

I am the hero no one wanted. I was a murderer. One of the cruelest and wealthiest men in New York City. Dante Salvatore, capo of capos. Yet I had one weakness. Elena Lombardi.
Cold as ice, sharp as the edge of broken glass, and more beautiful than any woman should have the right to be, she stormed my defenses and razed my life as I knew it to the ground. For her, I would once again play the hero and prove myself worthy of her unconquerable heart. For her, I would change everything. I could have left her to the enemies hounding me, but instead, I made the unforgivable decision to take her with me to the old country. Now there is no other option. In order to keep both of us safe, Elena Lombardi must become my wife.

This is the second book in the Anti-Heroes in Love Duet from Giana Darling. You have to read the first book, When Heroes Fall or you are going to be lost as this is the conclusion of Elena and Dante’s story concludes. It picks right up where When Heroes Fall ends and takes right off. I love these two so much I couldn’t wait to get it and read. We have in this duet complete opposite characters then what you usually read and I loved that. Usually the Capo is the one that is ice cold but that is Elena in these books and Dante is the light that lights up the world. See completely different from what you are use to. Now they are one there way to the old country. Elena the lawyer who is giving it all up to be with the capo who committed murder and is leaving the U.S. behind as a wanted felon. But she is Dante’s queen and he is loves her with everything that he is. She loves him just as much and is giving it all up to be with him. Elena too has a past that is going to break your heart but she is so loyal and I loved the sides of her that Dante brings out. Dante is so loving and loyal and is protecting his queen no matter what. This is the story of two flawed people learning to love with everything in them and give that to the other person and I thought that it was one beautiful perfect love story that you won’t be able to put down. It also has some moments in it that just might melt your kindle in your very hands. This is a duet that you do not want to miss. I loved it so much and it is a book that I will read many times over.
