My biggest mistake has a name.
Tobias Moretti. Tall, dark and dangerous and the head of the largest crime family this area has ever seen.

Marry him and escape my hated past.
Play the trophy wife in public and then get on with my day – alone.
No other men and a life with everything I want – except love.
How can I miss what I never had in the first place?
At least I’d have my freedom – think again.

A trapped bird in a cage filled with luxury.
Then it changes.
The terms of our contract have been re-written. He wants a wife in every sense of the word.
Yes, my biggest mistake wants it all. He wants to own my mind, body and soul and I don’t get a say in the matter.
Tobias.

I want the best and don’t care how far I go to own it.
She’s about to discover that I always go a step too far.
She gave up everything to be my wife but there is still one valuable asset she owns that causes the feral beast in me to growl.
Her innocence.

My beauty is about to wake up and discover the prince who rescued her from the tower is a beast in disguise and she will hear me roar as I claim the innocence of my virgin bride.

Oh my, this book tore me up in so many ways. Tobias and Ana just drove me crazy. I must admit I almost DNF’d this book when I thought he was going to cheat on her because I cannot tolerate that (even in my reading) but fortunately he redeemed himself before it was too late. It was a definite roller coaster ride. Steamy, twisted, angst ridden and romantic all rolled into one. Worth the read.
Letting go of the pain of the past!
by sewsummore
Tobias, a wealthy underworld figure decides it is time for him to marry, and a marriage is arranged between Anastasia and himself. His marriage also brings with it significant voting shares to her family company. Tobias here was torn apart over five years ago, and he vowed never to love again because love makes you weak. Anastasia had always done what was “expected” of her. She was not happy with the way her marriage began but slowly came to realize that the freedom she expected is just a dream, and she had exchanged one prison for another. Then the cold stranger she married starts to change, and she begins to find hope in her marriage. I found this story intriguing, the relationship between Tobias and Anastasia turning to love and overcoming the pain of the past. Sometimes it is a pain in our hearts that stops us from seeking a happier future, and when we realize that letting go of the pain makes room for the much more rewarding emotion of love.

This is a continuation of Breaking Beauty, wherein Breaking Beauty it was about Angel, we did meet Anastasia, Angel’s sister. In Breaking Beauty Ana was engaged to Sebastian, who was Angel’s boyfriend. This story is about how Ana is finally able to be herself and is able to be loved for being herself. This story could easily be read as a standalone story, but you will want to read about Angel and her friends that are in this story too.
Anastasia has always been the dutiful daughter. She would do anything for her family. She was even engaged to her sister’s ex-boyfriend for five years while her sister was MIA. She basically had to put her life on hold and appear to be in love with a man she didn’t have feelings for. They never had a physical side to their relationship, which she got shot down from. So now when another man wants her to play the same role for him, be the fake fiance, then-wife of convenience, in name only. Of course, nobody besides his lawyer knows that it isn’t real love until it changes. She went from her parents controlling everything about her to now her husband controlling everything. He keeps blowing hot and cold, she is getting dizzy from it. One minute he says that they are going on a honeymoon, then when she admits she is a virgin, he has to leave for a business trip. Then when he gets back, it is back to a honeymoon. Then, it is being kidnapped because she is the wife of mobster trying to go clean.
Tobias was born into a mob family. When his parents and many others of their family organization get murdered by his sister’s lover, he is thrust into the position of power. He has been trying to separate the legitimate businesses from the not, but he HAS to get the SOB that murdered his parents and betrayed his sister’s heart. This POS is the only one left from that massacre, but when he kidnaps both his sister and his wife, he has to end it right now! He has been watching Ana for many years. He could tell her engagement with Sebastian was fake, because he has gotten to know her from afar. When he proposed the fake engagement and marriage of convenience, he was hoping for more but he doesn’t want to get attached until he cleans up the last bit of scum that threatens his family.

Tobias and Ana’s story is an emotional roller coaster throughout. Tobias is a dark and dominant alpha who has always wanted Ana. This is a beautifully written tale which is dark, twisted, raw, gritty, thrilling, passionate, steamy and an all-round consuming read. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive story and I look forward to reading more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
Really loving this series! Anastasia was desperate for love and had played the dutiful daughter role for years as she was manipulated and controlled by first her father, and then her mother.
I loved that Tobias had secrets of his own when it came to the contractual marriage that was set up by Anastasia’s amoral mother.
If you like obsessive intensely dark alpha heroes,Tobias is it.
No cheating, intensely focused on Anastasia, and possessively protective of her attention and time, Tobias had to navigate between his dark business dealings and his obsession with his bride.
Full of drama, suspense, betrayal and retribution. Can’t wait to read the next in the series!

Anastasia has been used by her family her whole life and doing whatever is dictated to please them. One day she is obliged to marry Tobias, a mafia kingpin trying to change his business dealings. Can this marriage in name only be more for her? Can Tobias put his past to rest once and for all? This story is full of drama, suspense, twist and turns that will keep you riveted on the edge of your seat and the characters chemistry is off the charts. I honestly volunteered to review this amazing story!

This book is absolutely exquisite. A simple deal of a marriage and relationship turns into some much more from this crime boss, Tobias and Ana, the woman who only married him because of a deal her mother made. Such an intense story and the characters are well developed and perfect for one another.

Tobias will never allow himself to love ever again. Anastasia has loved before, but she has never been loved. And it looks like because of her family she never will have the love she desires. But through their relationship Tobias and Anastasia find a balance that neither one of them thought they could achieve.
This book has it all, a great story line, wonderful characters, and a wonderful happily ever after for the main characters. In my opinion this was a beautifully polished book and now I want to go back and read Breaking Beauty and when it is released Broken Beauty. That being said this book can be read as a standalone.
