When She Unravels (The Fallen, #1)
Gabrielle Sands
He’s the most powerful man in Ibiza, and he’ll do anything to make me his. I’ve been raised to be the perfect mafia wife, but when my marriage turns into a horrific nightmare, I have no choice but to leave everything behind and start a new life. I find myself alone in Ibiza—a place that swallows innocent girls like me alive. I’m robbed the day I arrive, left with nothing but a few euros and the clothes on my back. My desperation leads me right to Damiano De Rossi. He rules over this island with an iron fist and beneath his strikingly handsome face lies a wicked darkness. I ask him for a job. He gives me far more than that—degradation, jealousy, and toe-curling lust. When my resistance to him is all but gone, a secret is revealed, and we fall apart like a house of cards. I know what I have to do. Run. But when I try, I discover…he’s already got me bound. Note: When She Unravels is an 18+ dark mafia romance with mature themes, profanity, and plenty of steam. It's book one in The Fallen series but can be read as a standalone.

0 0This book was really good. Sometimes I feel like the mafia trope is dull, but this one was really fascinating and kept my interest! The characters in this story are amazing and seem like real people that you could know and they have depth to them that often you don't get in this type of story.
One of the reasons I loved this story so much is the character of Valentina. She's in trouble and on the run from her husband and her family. Her marriage is not good and she has run to Ibiza. She's scared and scarred from the short time she was with her arranged husband. She catches the eye of Damiano, who she thinks is just a stern businessman. She doesn't know who or what he is, which is somewhat fascinating to see her uncover.
The relationship between the two of them, though? Whooo! So hot! And he's so protective of her, it's just...everything! But, I also love that he is soft for her, even though he's mean and gruff to everyone else. There are a couple of scenes that just made me sigh out loud, like, he gets it!
