The only time I’ve seen him affected in any way is when— towards the end slight grovelling was involved, which, for me, is always the best part of a book. giorgio messed up a bit, his own insecurities getting on top of his feeling for martina, but he grovelled in the sweetest way possible. all it took was a little jealousy and the realization that this time he pushed her too far away, and she wouldn’t attempt to bridge the distance between them this time around. Good work,” I say, stepping to her side and slapping my purse on the marble surface. “Belinda seems way better.” What happens when I stop believing it entirely? It goes against everything I’ve been taught, but I constantly daydream about running away from Lazaro. It would be a real scandal. The end of my life as I know it. I’d be caught and handed to my husband for punishment, and he’d enjoy making me scream. I was raised to be just like her—the perfect mafia wife—but in my marriage to Lazaro, I’m crumbling. If my mother is granite, I must be soapstone. Every night spent in the basement with my husband chips away at me.zeki bir adam. Martina’nın nasıl ilgilisini çekeceğinin farkında.

The side characters, particularly Ras, Martina, and that other guy, are far more interesting than the main characters. this book was really intent on rah-rah-rah Girl Power… but it felt lopsided. The hero never got a chance to shine. He was emasculated at all times. He bowed to her on everything and wasn’t even capable of the stuff that was in his hands. I expect a little more intensity of personality with a mafia hero. He was pretty beta.You can face any challenge this life throws at you,” she continues. “That’s how I raised you. Do not insult me with your weakness.” When She Unravels is an 18+ dark mafia romance with mature themes, profanity, and plenty of steam.
