Access Instantly Revenge (Blood And Honor, #1) Originated By Dana Delamar Shared As Paperbound

That was freaking insane!!! Took to long to post my review, Well worth the read!!! If you are intrigued with Mafia aspects and the inner workings or gritty, dark stories than this is a book for you! Revenge is a fictional take on Mafia life in Italy that will have you questioning the line between reality and fiction, that is how well written this book is!

Welldeveloped characters help carry the story, they are perfected in their own way from sweet, endearing Antonio, rugged Ruggero, untrusting, jaded Kate, emotional Enrico and the purely evil Carlo.
The relationships that are created and shattered all hold a significant part for the story and I'm guessing, for the future stories of Blood and Honor.
Kate and Enrico were both agreeable characters that each have their own personal struggles that send themand the reader on a roller coaster.
You ultimately are able to sympathize with each of them, making you eager for a happy ending,

The imagery is well laid out, to the point where the reader will feel immersed in the bellisimo Italia and the culture surrounding the Mafia.
There is corruption, violence, blood and gore, death, hard decisions and the expected romance, In other words, this story has grit that will either have the readers cringing or increasing their reading speed.
I was drawn into the story from the absolute beginning, unable to put the book down, The dialogue was simple perfection, where you could hear the Italian accents dripping from each charactersave Kate, Dana Delamar expertly weaves in Italian words that flow flawlessly, giving the story an authentic Italian feel, Bestowed with many pointofviews throughout the story we are able to fully soak up the Mafia aspect as we get an inside look at both sides of the bigger 'family'.
Yet, the story still carries a hint of mystery, Dana Delamar has obviously done a tone of research regarding the Italian Mafia, successfully turning it into a fictional story that will grab your attention, rendering you useless until you are satisfied at the end.


Blood and Honor will be a four book series, each taking a closer look at different characters involved in the Lucchesi Family.
I found Revenge to be the perfect introductory story to the ones that will follow, allowing us to become attached to the future main characters and understanding their roles.
This is the first time I've read a book from Dana Delamar, so I wasn't sure what exactly I was getting myself into.
Even before I started reading there was a page with translations from Italian to English, which I found good I couldn't remember half of the meanings from High School amp I found it got my mind set on the conversations to come.
I must say that I was impressed with the detailed descriptions of the country side, houses, people amp food through out the book, it made me feel like I was walking around Italy with the characters.
The detail of the Mafiso codes amp there involvement with the people amp other Mafiso fanctions was visually fantastic.
Some of the scenes where a bit tense amp as a female I found them disturbing, but the scenes contributed to the storyline.


There are so many twists amp turns in this compelling novel, Dana weaves us such a magical story full of love, lies, deception, passion, emotions, action, Bring on the rest of the series amp any others you've got published, reader for LIFE! Heartthumping pacing, mafia loyalties and steamy sex.
This book pushed my normal heat boundary, but I desperately wanted the HEA, This was a New Author to me, I am soooooo glad I gave MS, Delamar a chance.

She is AN AWESOME AUTHOR!! Can I give more thenStars Can I say how much I enjoyed this book.
Can I tell everyone , even if not your normal genre, PLEASE GIVE THIS BOOK A TRY YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY.


This Book is about the Italian Mafia, Most books glaze over what they think Mafia is about, this book was so right on, and making the characters true to life.
I Loved them and Hated them at same time, I was torn wanting Happy Ever After and yet Not, I loved the whole book , no lagging scenes, Action, Love Betrayal. Wonderful Love Scenes!

I was drawn into this family and the other families and wanted everyone to just get along.

I actually had blood pressure issues with this book, I was so into this books crying and happy and just wanting to be written into this story!

I can not wait to read more from Dana Delamar.
I am hooked on this Author,

This is a Must Read Book, Enjoy the Ride and don't forget yourPoint Harness ! An enjoyable thriller, Though I did like the action parts with the mafia war more than the romance, It started off well, Kate was a smart and interesting heroine who acted sensibly when faced with a dangerous crisis.
But then she goes and puts here trust in another dangerous mafia man, True Enrico was a much more honourable and much more likeable man but the whole will she won't she admit her true feelings did get a little annoying.
It was a rollers coaster of back and fourth between he loves here so much but cant tell her the truth about himself and she knows there's something wrong and on more than one occasion she tries to leave even as she finds herself falling in love with him.
And all the while there's a mob war going on,

The book was very well written and engaging and even though some parts of the romance were a little annoying I did enjoy it right through to the end and look forward to the next one in the series.
Revenge by Dana Delamar

Stars

After an argument with Vincent, her husband, turns violent, Kate realises she has no choice but to leave him.
Unbeknownst to her Vincent is a part of the Mafia and walking away from him is not going to be that easy.
She turns to her boss, Enrico, for help, What Kate also doesnt know is that he is connected to the mob too, but on the opposite side of the fence to her husband.
The war between the two families, that has been smouldering for years, flares up and she is right in the middle of it.


I grew up in a time when The Godfather with Al Pachino was a big hit, and apart from that series of films I have never really been interested in any facts or fiction related to this subject.
I have to say I might change that now because this was a really interesting action packed story with umph! Revenge is not a short book or a quick read, it took me a number of evening reads to complete, but I didnt feel the urge to rush to the end, I really enjoyed it from start to finish.


Dana has the ability to pull in the reader with a great writing style, varied vocabulary, realistic characters and an exciting plot.
This is the start of a series and I hope she manages to keep up the pace and standard she has set with this instalment throughout the rest of the series.
I would recommend this to fans of the genre,

Copy supplied for review







Coming Here is to a WHOOPINGStars.
If I had to describe this book in aboutwords it would be actionpacked, sexy, romantic, and adrenaline rushing.
I had someone point out that this reminded them of a movie and after reading this I can now say this would make a kick butt movie! There were times when I was fanning myself, sitting on the edge of my seat, and so mad I had to put it down.
The steamy scenes were oh so delicious!

This book is all about Enrico Luccshesi, doesn't that name just sound sexy He is the head of the Lucchesi Mob, and there are many different mob groups.
Well, there is a bloody war going on between the Andretti's and the Lucchesi's that stemmed from when Enrico was way younger.
I will not tell you the problems that there were because you definitely want to discover them for yourself.
Then you throw Kate into the mix, she is a kick butt, independent, strong woman, . . and she doesn't take crap from no one, Not even Carlo Andretti's head of the Andretti Mob nephew Vince, When Vince hits Kate, she knew she had to get away and that's when Enrico and Kate wind up crossing paths!

Now for my feelings on this book.
I was a little confused with the vocabulary, about who was who, and who was related to whom But, let me tell you if you read the vocabulary list in the front of the book it will all start to make sense and then you will be in for the ride of your life.
Thank you so so much Dana for asking me to review this! This exceeded my expectations, Revenge was absolutely fabulous.
I have never read a book like this before so I didn't know if I would like it BUT I DID, I SO DID! And knowing this is only thest book WHAT NOW The ending really killed me, what a cliffhanger.
I would have never expected that and now will have to be tortured waiting on Book,

I would recommend this to anyone who is a lover of romance, steamy love scenes AND I'M TALKING JALAPENO HOT!, and action! This is an awesome book and I can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of this series.
Be on the lookout for Dana guys, I know I will,./.

This book is typical of what one would expect in a mob story: family, violence, money, sex and it doesnt disappoint!

.Stars!!! I will explain at the every end why I didn't give it,

Wow. First let me tell you that I was very impressed with Dana's writing, As a selfpublished author this book was EXTREMELY wellwritten, She must have had one hell of an Editor, Also this particular book had to have required mountains of research, She went to great depths to explain a completely "fictional" story of the Italian Mafia and it was exquisite.


I really appreciated the introduction of the main characters in the beginning and the glossary of key terms.
It made it much easier to follow along, I also feel like I learned a lot about Italians and how the Mafia operates even if it is fictional.
She also explained her reasoning for writing things a certain way even though it might have gone against the way it "should have been written" and even though as a reader I couldn't point

these things out, I appreciated the explanation in the end.


To be honest this is truly a great story, I read it over the course ofdays so it definitely held my attention, The only reason I cannot give itis because I didn't personally fall in love with the main characters Kate amp Enrico.
I enjoyed them, but I didn't connect with them at the level where I want to talk nonstop about them to all my book obsessed friends.
I believe I won't feel this way in either bookorof this series when she goes into depth with the individual stories ofother supporting characters Antonio amp Ruggero.
I really LOVED both of these characters and I feel that Antonio's story specifically will have me gushing until I am blue in the face.


Either way I don't think anyone would be disappointed after reading this book and would very much be intrigued to read,, amp.
Ms. Delamar has a definite talent with writing and I am excited to see more of her work, sitelink romancenoveljunkies. com

To try and save herself, Kate accepts help from the enemy, Enrico Lucchesi and the Andretti/Lucchesi war is on.
Enrico never wanted to be in the mafia but has had to fulfill his father's duty, He is now fighting for the woman he loves, the child he never new and the world as he sees it should be.


THOUGHTS

Being from New Jersey, the "Soprano State" I love mafia stories! At first, I was so confused by so many characters that I even had to reread the first chapter to make sure I knew who everyone was.
After that, It was an enjoyable ride, I thought Enrico was incredibly sexy and Kate is feisty which makes for a very explosive relationship! I loved how the author incorporated the beauty of Italy and the romantic undertones of the land.
The sexual intimacy for me was off the charts!

Now, I will say the mob storyline is kind of weak.
Enrico who has lived his life being groomed to be "capo" is he willing to throw it all away, risk his life and that of his family for Kate I don't think so.
I was waiting for Enrico to step up and play the leader against Carlo and stop whining over Kate, finally at the end we see Enrico do what he is suppose to do.
For me, I am a romance junkie so I didn't mind that the mob story was kind of secondary to the romance.


This is the first of abook series and look forward to reading about everyones story! I really enjoyed this book! The research the author did is evident and the sensual overtones are scorching!! Highly recommend this read!!

Story GREAT
Intimacy VERY VERY SPICY
Enjoyment GREAT
