This was the first book of Danielle that I’ve read, and I can honestly say, that I became a fan instantly. And I really mean instantly, because it was love at first page. From the very beginning I was obsessed, the writing, the characters, the story. Everything so well written, good and addictive.I finished all three book from the “Made” series in a day and a half, pulling an all nighter, and having zero regrets, because IT WAS SO WORTH IT! I always had a soft spot for these bad boys, heart colded alphas with a chip on their shoulders, that could only melt în the right hands, but it was Danielle Lori who made me fall in love with mobsters and mafia books. Nicolas “Ace” Russo, the cold hearted don, calculated and always on top of every situation, golden boy of “Cosa Nostra”, and every woman wet dream. He strode in my life, with that smirk and that attitude, and stole my heart in minutes.He is the perfect mold made by “Cosa Nostra” with a cold heart, ruthless and not a single care in the world when it comes to pulling the trigger, but he is also a man of integrity and brutal truth, he will say it, even if it cuts a person to the core.While reading, you find more about his past, his relationship with his parents, and you can easily understand him and why is he acting like that. In his world, there is no room for mistakes, so he protects himself how he sees fit: by trusting in almost nobody and pretending his heart is too cold for him to have feelings.What I admired at him, was that despite the walls that surrounded him, he is actually a good person and still capable of love. He wasn’t afraid to admit his feelings, even though he tried to deny himself the right to be happy, and was ready to do anything for the woman he loved. Elena Abelli, a ray of sunshine and hope in the middle of the New York’s underworld. Strong, but also has a huge heart. Loyal, do-gooder, innocent, not a rebellious bone in her body, was exactly what the don needed in his life.The “Sweet Abelli” how she was nicknamed, was the favored daughter, the perfect mafia, principessa, until she made a mistake and now has to support and pay the consequences. All her life she was the perfect puppet, singed and danced how her papa wanted, but all changed when she acted like any other girl of her age, and for a weekend all she wanted was to be normal.She was so strong, beautiful and kind, almost too good for the world she grew up in. She put everything she had on display, and she gave Nicolas her most treasured possession: her heart. He though she was gonna be easy to tame, that she was gonna be the silent wife. Oh boy, how wrong was he. She came, fought and conquered. They are a perfect match, they complete each other in every possible way.The “Made” series is definitely the best 2020 series.
