Code of Silence by Shantel Tessier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was worried because this author is fairly new to me. I have only read her Dare series and it set the bar pretty high. I went in completely blind and whoa! Talk about dark and gritty mafia madness! I was pleasantly surprised. This story was really intense and action-packed right from page one. The suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat turning pages because you are not sure exactly where it's going to go. It is well written and the flow works.
The hero is a sexy mafia bad boy who makes a great ruthless bad guy. His loyalty will steal your heart. I was iffy on the h, in the beginning, I thought she was kinda a pushover and made not so smart decisions. She said it best herself "Good d*ck will make a girl stupid. I should become a lesbian." I thought that the Hero needed a stronger woman, but she definitely redeemed herself and I look forward to watching her grow. I hope that all of the female characters in the story grow as the series continues. The strength of the men demands it.
Be warned it gets pretty gruesome in a few parts. Overall it was an enjoyable read. I will be continuing with the series and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good mafia story.

Blurb:
Dangerous and feared.
Those words describe my future husband.
Who just so happens to also be my ex-boyfriend. It’s complicated.
Two years ago, he broke my heart when he left me to do his father’s bidding.
After months of crying, I finally accepted he was gone and wasn’t going to look back.
That maybe he’d never loved me at all. I never wanted to see Luca again.
Now a cruel twist of fate has signed me over to him in a heartless deal.
I’m his.
He thinks he did me a favor, but I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence.
He doesn't want to get married because he still loves me.
No, he did it for money.
More power.
I’m going to be a mafia wife. And there’s only one way out of it. Death.
But as it turns out, someone else doesn’t want me to marry the ruthless Luca Bianchi.
And if he has his way, I’ll see that early grave.
