My name is Anthony Moretti and I’m the prince of the Moretti family. Although I’m not active in the crime syndicate that my father, Draco Moretti, began, I’ll always be protected by the family and feared by those outside of it. After my father was gunned down in the street, I used my inheritance from him to open my first nightclub. For years, building my empire was my only concern, until fate … until fate brought Jacey Wrenn into my life. She had absolutely no idea, but I’d known her before I’d ever met her. She’d haunted my dreams, the beautiful stranger that I longed to find, but hadn’t a clue as to where to begin.
Sounds like a fairy tale, right? I wish. The woman that I’ve been obsessed with for years is broken so badly, I’m not sure if I can save her. Hell, how does the son of the devil convince a fallen angel that redemption is possible for people like us?

I live this author!
Wow! I loved it!
Tony and Jacey are great! Definitely not a match made in Heaven. But it was their secret dream. Hers of a happy family and white picket fence. His of this beautiful woman who was the other half of his heart.
Their story is no typical love story. She killed her father. He’s a mafia prince. She’s estranged from her sister after a hellish family life and appalling sacrifices. He’s the son of a murdered mafia don, trying to stay free of that life while being deeply mired in it.
There are twists and turns and honestly I didn’t see it coming. Even if you guess, you can guess the depravity of it all.
The last chapter and epilogue were perfect. Absolutely perfect.
I can’t wait for Marco’s story. I’m loving this series.

I was totally excited to hear the Sydney Landon was adding a new book to the Pierced Series. I have read all these books and have been in love with them all. Although I will say Anthony wasn’t my favorite of the series.
Anthony can be read as a standalone, but I would’t recommend it. I would also recommend reading Lee first and then read Anthony shortly after. I have read Lee but it was awhile ago and I have to admit, I almost wish I would’ve reread Lee before reading this book. I will say I was slightly confused in the first half of the story. There was some filling in of the blanks but not as much as I would’ve liked since I read Lee so long ago.
I also believe that the reason this book wasn’t my favorite was because of Jacey. I really didn’t like her character. Yes she is broken and dealing with all of her past ghosts and haunts, it started to get old and I was hoping to see a softer side of Jacey as the story went on. We really don’t see her softer side much. On the other hand, I LOVED Anthony (Tony) he was swoony even with his background with the mafia. I loved how devoted he was to Jacey. He was determined to make her his. He had the perfect mix of strong hunky Alpha and tender hearted sweet side.
This is a book I can’t really tell you much of the storyline. This is a story that is suspense filled and it needs to unravel itself for each reader. This story will keep you guessing throughout. I did wish things would’ve been revealed a little sooner in the book, but I was truly happy with how it all played out and how the story ended. I will say Sydney put a lot of shockers in this story!!! I will also warn some readers that some of the topics could be difficult to read about. Nothing is overly graphic, but it could still trigger some people.
I thought the flow and pace of this story worked well for Jacey and Tony. They both had some demons to work through and those had to be taken care of first. This story is told in Dual POV.
I loved seeing more of Jade and Lee in this story. It was nice catching up with them!!! I also liked we got to know some of the other guys better. I look forward to Marco’s story next.
I would recommend this book to all the fans of the Pierced Series. This was definitely another great addition!!! If you love a love story between two broken souls who are meant to be together and love some suspense to keep you turning the pages, then you need to read this story!!!
