I eat steak with my bare hands, swing a sword and have a daughter who doesn’t speak. I’m what no one would call normal.I’m a capo for the Italian mafia. Any good I had left in me was snuffed out a long time ago. She came in like an angel, a bright sun, meant strictly to treat my daughter.I should have never met her. Never cared. Never fallen.I never should have done it.Here’s my story.I’m warning … it.
Here’s my story.
I’m warning you now… it’ll hurt.
Trigger Warning: This book is NOT a typical romance and does not have a happy ending. It definitely has closure, but there is no HEA.

When I was told about the book, I thought I was ready, but… I was soo, soo not ready for this emotional rollecoaster… This is one of those books that will make you feel the full feelings from joy to tears.I laughter, I screamed, I cried, I sobbed at the end..
This is the story of Seven, who is thought to be tough, rude monster, but his love for the little Nia and Isla, the ones he love deeply is something else. Yes, he is tough, fierce, rude at times, but he is soo soo gentle, such a loving, caring father and lover…
Isla…. This little woman is so naive, she wants to see only good in people… But beneath her vulnerability is strong, caring woman who will do everything for her Danny boy, for Seven, for Nia, patients, little kids who need her.
Nia… This little angel, little princess entered my soul and I love her deeply. She is such a strong kid. I smiled with her, I cried with her…
Danny’s wedding was one hell of a emotional scene, especially his BUG scene.
This story deserves 10 Stars not 5!!
Oh boy, I already know my review isn’t going to do this incredible, dark, twisted story any justice. Why, because I can’t put my review in enough words to explain how I’m truly feeling right now. Yes it’s that GOOD!!
Seven is a capo for the mob, a single new father with a deep twisted darkness to him. When Marley and her daughter, Alex (the lead female characters from Graveyard Girl) have a chance to get off the streets and get a second chance at life Marley realizes she can’t keep all of the children with her. When Nia is the last child to be adopted Seven steps up. He knows she has experienced some sort of trauma but doesn’t know what since she refuses to talk. That is until until she meets Isla.
Isla is a hard working pediatrician who adores children deeply. When she walks in to see a new patient something draws her to her. When her life is in grave danger the last person/people she expects to help her step up but what surprises her the most is seeing how gentle and protective Nia’s father really is with his daughter.
This is truly a heart grabbing, funny as hell story about 3 broken people. I truly was drawn if for the start. I laughed so hard my sides hurt and they still do but it also brought ugly tears along with all the feel good moments. When reading this you need a big box of tissues.
Finally we get the story of the new guy that showed up, seemingly out of the blue. Seven is such a contradiction, he is all alpha tough guy who doesn’t talk a lot. But he has a soft spot for his adopted daughter Nia. When he is with her he is all soft and gentle. Isla is a do gooder, a pediatrician, and very naive. She is all caught up in a giant dangerous mess she doesn’t quite understand. When Seven and Isla are together they both feel this attraction towards each other but both thinking they need to take this new found relationship slow. There are some twists in this book they will make u laugh, some will make u real sad and even shed tears, but it’s a defs must read forsure
I really loved and hated this story. I bawled my eyes out. I couldn’t even tell people what it was about without crying so hard. took 3 months to be able to talk about this story with out full on hysterical crying.
It’s will written. The characters are wonderful. I just didn’t like how it ended. He deserved his happily ever after.
Great story but seriously so damn sad!!!! Not going to lie, I cried and I’m sad that it ended the way it did.
Bry Ann did it again, major ugly cry book but oh, so good! I always know with her books I will get all the feels, good and bad. I will get an amazing story and Seven is just that. The depth of her characters never ceases to amaze me!
What an absolutely amazing story!!!
Bry Ann has again, blown me away with this one! It was all so good; wonderful characters, sensitive issues, romance, darkness and then bam!!!! I was blubbering, emotional, heartbroken mess yet again! Completely blindsided by the ending! What can I say??? Please read this book (once you’ve caught up with the Roses and Thorns series) but have plenty of tissues close by. Highly recommended!
