V is for Vengeance

Bene was absolutely delicious!! After reading Beni, I knew that his identical twin was having a problem with finding his own identity. I couldn't wait to dive in and find out how Bene would navigate his independence. Bethany-Kris didn't disappoint! Bene's story was painful, real, and his transition seemed authentic. I couldn't get enough of him, his inner thoughts, his pure motivations, and his dirty mouth. Who can resist a man who not only knows when he's in the wrong, but actually wants to fix it?

And then there was Vanna Falco. She was holding a grudge in her heart, a score to settle that wasn't even hers. She grew up under her father in the camorra, hearing a warped version of a sad tale. All she knew was that the Guzzis had it all and she was determined to take it from them. She never factored in what going through with it would do to her. Meeting and getting her in through Bene was all part of her plan, however, she didn't anticipate the man taking her over or owning her heart. I loved how the author made her into a sneaky little back-stabbing liar, forced her to face her mistakes, and made Bene's reactions and actions realistic for each circumstance.

While I didn't like Vanna, I adored Bene and I think that was what I was supposed to get from the writing. As always, this story was extremely hot, it was really family before everything, and the love wasn't easy but it was perfect for the characters. I loved watching Bene's journey from being broken and catching a glimpse of who he'll become. I'll definitely be staying tuned for the next Legacy book, which will be Marcus's. As the oldest brother, the eldest son, he's had to look out for everyone and I can't wait to see him finally have his own much-deserved happiness.

Synopsis

A vendetta can change everything …

Bene Guzzi is walking a fine line. In his family, the mafia, and even with his own twin. Being a Guzzi principe means he doesn't have time to be a screw up, so he needs to fix it and fast.

Vanna Falco is nothing that she seems. Her angel's face hides a past filled with pain and her secrets might be enough to finally take the Guzzi family down for good. That is, if no one finds out the truth.

But everything gets trickier when people who shouldn't be together, start to fall hard. And no one is more dangerous than a Guzzi in love.

The lies between them, though?
Well, they might ruin it all.
