This book is not for everyone. If you love the male dominance we’ll this is the book you can read. Isabella book always be good in her own way. It never a full moment when it comes to her books. This book start off with a priest looking to kidnap the daughter of the mob boss. Thing happen really fast and really quick between them. Add the brother to the mix and wham what will happen next. All I know is you really have to read the book to enjoy the raw writing of a skilled writer.
This book was a complete mindfu$#!!! I didn’t know who to root for at times. At times I was so mad at each of the main characters and yhen I was so sad at the end of it all. Though I guess sort of happy. I would call this a sort of happily ever afterish

Confess was intense, dark and just the right amount of twisted to keep me hooked and hanging on every word. Full of suspense, revenge, secrets and twists and turns Amadeo and Carlotta took me on a wildly captivating ride that kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the push and pull with a touch of the forbidden woven throughout their story. I enjoyed how the author kept me constantly guessing yet in the end left me with a smile. If you like your romances a bit dark, twisted and gritty then dive into Confess and prepare to tell Father your sins.
Wow! What a hot and dark read! This one will take your breath away and if you love dark books then you don’t want to miss out on this one.
Took me by surprise – Fantastic!
I give this story 5* for one particular thing how it got me by surprise not only with the story line, not only with the twisted revenge, not only with forbidden and momentarily cruel events but most of all for the characters. I didn’t expect at all what I was given.
I wouldn’t like to give it away but I’m sure in many other reviews you will read about this. This story has ended not as I expected, I wouldn’t dream for it to be any different. It was captivating, it was true page turner. It made me cry, it made me smile, it made me shiver. It was forbidden for so many reasons with all the twisted events and circumstances. Cruelty, revenge, lies. Astonishing and baffling on so many levels. At the end it also gives hope that sometimes even the darkest soul can find its redemption.
Absolutely amazing book. I couldn’t stop reading. It has so many feels, my emotions were all over the place.
Although a bit of a challenge to get into during the first few chapters, overall this was an OK read. The 3 main characters, brothers, Amadeo and Valentino, were interesting, but I felt somewhat not as well developed as I expect from Isabella Starling. Carlotta, even though kidnaped a few days prior to her 18th birthday, was one confusing girl. I think this premise of this book had more potential than the actual book.
I received an ARC from Booksprout and this is my honest review.
THIS BOOK IS SERIOUSLY IN MY TOP 10!
This book is too good, I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Father, forgive me because I have sinned, and I like it
Isabella brings us one of her best books this time. Confess is a book full of everything. It’s intriguing and captivating, you won’t be able to stop reading until the end.
The story of Father Amadeo, his little sinner Carlotta and Valentino is just everything that you are looking for. This book is full of vengeance, hatred, darkness, love and loyalty. It’s seriously by far one of the best books I have ever read.
Don’t miss out this wonderful masterpiece!
Father Amadeo and Carlotta’s journey was a dark (for me) story that was just my right level of uncomfortable and intrigued. There were a couple of times that I needed to put the book down and walk away for a breather.
The writing style was smooth, the tension palpable and the ending was satisfying. Now I need to go read something light and fluffy.
I received an ARC through Booksprout in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
Confess is a tortured story about lost love, betrayal and heartbreak and strength of family.
Father Amadeo is a lost soul filled with revenge, and will stop at nothing to see it completed.
Carlotta Tomassi is the only child to a crime boss. Amedeo and his brother Valentino kidnapped Carlotta with one thought only, to make her pay for the sins of her father. This is a very dark emotional charged book with plenty of fear through punishment, and shared passion through love of family.
**3 1/2 stars**
I really liked the premise of the story.
The plot was riveting.
It had me gripped and held tight.
Didn’t put it down until I finished it.
What I didn’t like was how contradicting Amadeo is.
He’s a man of God.
He gets extremely upset when God’s name is taken in vain.
Yet some of the things he commands Carlotta do would be blasphemous to him.
I’m not referring to the things that he does to her while she’s locked up.
But the scenes when they were in public.
**I don’t want to write anything with spoilers so I’m being vague while trying to express my thoughts.
I just can’t picture him while being at that certain location he’d do the things he did.
I understood his pain.
And his need for vengeance.
His darkness was understandable.
The only person he can unleash his demons on is Carlotta.
Carlotta is a young girl caught in the middle of something that she’s clueless about.
For her age I thought she was strong and brave.
She’s not only confused about why she’s taken.
But she’s confused about how she’s responding to what she’s being put through.
Father Amadeo and Carlotta have a long tough heartbreaking journey they both need to take.
Confess was a good dark story that I couldn’t put down.
I LOVED the last chapter and the epilogue.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It kept me on the edge of seat, waiting to see what was going to happen next. It is a dark book, so if you don’t like that kind of story, be aware. I’d like to read more about Carlotta after. It’s well written and pulls you in from the first page. I’m ready for more from this author.
A super dark revenge romance. Lots of drama. Steam. Violence. Suspense. Heartbreak. Jealousy. Mystery. Grief. Revenge. Angst. Loyalty. So many feels and emotions.

OMG (Not taken in vain) I just finished reading Confess I’m blown away and I can’t express the emotions that I went thru reading this book. It had me turning the pages (thru sickness) so quickly just to see what was happening…dramatic twist turns had me gripping the blankets as I read the creative words bursting thru the pages Isabella Starling assembled. Amadeo, Carlotta and Valentino characters are expressed in a matter that only a creative talented author can do.
I absolutely loved this story. The storyline was so interesting that it completely captivated me and was so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading it until I finished with the very last word. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for an amazing book. Grab your copy and start reading you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy happy reading

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
I’ve been watching Carlotta Tomassi for months, biding my time to pluck her out of her sheltered life. The mafia kingpin’s daughter is not going to be a sweet little ting much longer. Not if I have anything to do with it. Soon, she will be kidnapped. Taken. Captive. Carlotta’s transformation from, sweet little lamb to broken sinner will begin in the cell I built for her. Barely legal and enchanting in her innocent beauty, she will be my prized possession. I can’t wait for her to open he eyes and realize she’s now my property. The fear. The anticipation. The pain. I will take it all. And the first words I’ll tell her will seal her fate. It’s time to confess, little sinner.And Father does not forgive.
Confess is a full length dark novel from Isabella Starling. I was hooked from the first page. This is the story of Father Amadeo Dacosta and Carlotta Tomassi. This book is told in multiple points of view too. Not just two, there are a few points of view. Carlotta is a sweet innocent girl who is about to turn eighteen and loves to sneak out of her mafia father’s house and go to a local bar and have a good time. Unlike her best friend though she isn’t there to hook up she is out and about and enjoying her freedom. In her family they have arranged marriages and she know that when she turns eighteen in two days it won’t be long before her father will tell her who she is going to marry. She is about to pay for the sins of her father. He is the very reason that everything that will happen to her is going to happen. I will got ahead and tell you that Amadeo is a priest and so is his brother so there are two priests in this book and they are smoking hot. That just sounds so wrong for me to even type let alone think. If you love strong female character’s you are going to love this one. She is amazing. This is a dark book so take to heed the warning for the author. I am a huge fan of dark books and can’t seem to get enough of them. I must love to push my own boundaries. This book is amazing and one that I’m sure all lovers of dark romances are going to love.
