This is the first book in the new Forbidden Series from Stella Gray. This is the story or Karina and Marco. She is a girl who is being forced to marry someone that she does not know much less love. But here Uncle is after more power in the mafia world by bringing two families together. However there is another man. One she met one night out with her cousin that gives her Romeo and Juliet vibes. There is no doubt there is a connection between her and Marco Bellanti. He is a man who thought that he and his brothers were free of the mafia world but they have recently discovered that someone is out to get them and they find themselves being brought back in to the life they thought they had left far far behind. What happens when a girl promised to someone else, takes off with a Bellanti. Well a war of course. And you are going to be living for it. I really love this book. It has a strong female character and smoking hot alpha male who will just melt your heart. Lots of secrets flying around, and betrayal. Karina is a sweet innocent girl who loves to read. A girl who reads great romances and wants just what happens in the book as far as love and romance go. She is not about to settle for what her family wants her to do. Marco is just the perfect book boyfriend really. There wasn’t a thing that I did not like about him. He is a racecar driver and will just get your blood really pumping. I can not wait to get the next book in my hands. This was a really great start to a new series.
