Villain of Secrets - Review

Title: Villain of Secrets
Series: Verona Legacy #3
Author: L. A. Cotton
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: February 10th, 2021

 

Nora Abato is the kind of girl people gravitate to. 
Sassy. Selfless. Stubborn.
She knows what she wants and she’s determined to get it. And Nora wants her very own mafioso, the bad boy with a tortured soul who will do whatever it takes to protect his family.
Enzo Marchetti is the kind of guy people run from. 
Rash. Reckless. Ruined.
As the Marchetti crime family’s new enforcer, he’d rather spend his days getting his hands dirty than thinking about the future, or the girl with fire in her eyes and fight in her heart.
When a new enemy threatens the Marchetti empire, Enzo and Nora suddenly find themselves in close confines, and the undeniable connection between them is pushed to its limits. He can’t resist the girl who sees past the darkness in his soul and she can’t give up on the guy who has never been taught how to love.
There’s only one problem.
Enzo isn’t Nora’s fairytale prince, he’s the villain who will destroy her dream of a happily-ever-after.
He’ll break her…
If she doesn’t break him first.

Unputdownable!

Villain of Secrets is the third book in the Verona Legacy series and can be read as a standalone mafia romance. Even though this is true, I recommend reading the series in order. I believe that it will give you a better foundation for understanding and appreciating the storyline. However, just know that this is only a suggestion.

Villain of Secrets tells Enzo and Nora’s story, and I’ve been looking forward to reading it for a while now! Enzo is dealing with many demons, and he’s become a loose cannon. The only one that seems to be able to ground him is Nora, but he’s reluctant to bring her into his world. It’s a good thing that Nora is such a strong woman and absolutely perfect for him. Oh, and their chemistry is so blazing hot!

L.A. Cotton has become one of my favorite go-to authors, and I began this third book with high expectations. And let me tell you, and I was not disappointed! The storyline was so captivating, but it was the characters that really pulled me in. L.A. Cotton has a way of developing such engaging and complex characters that cause you to become completely engrossed.

I can easily say that Villain of Secrets is definitely one of my favorite books in 2021!

OMG!  My poor heart!  Prince of Hearts is an absolutely amazing story and one of my favorites so far in 2020. Author L.A. Cotton has taken me on many adventures, and I have loved them all. She quickly became an automatic one-click buy. So, when I saw Prince of Hearts, I jumped in without reading the blurb.

 

Prince of Hearts is one of L.A. Cotton’s best stories so far, and I’m dying to fill you in on all the details. Although, I do believe you need to read it without any spoilers. So, all I can tell you is that it’s a modern-day retelling of Romeo and Juliet, and it’s just brilliant. And oh my stars, I was not expecting the cliffhanger, and it’s a doozy!

So, grab a drink, some snacks, and buckle yourself in for an amazing ride!

Epic! What a fantastic story!

King of Souls is the second book in the Verona Legacy series, and it’s also the conclusion to Nicco and Ari’s story.  I absolutely loved the first book, Prince of Hearts, and I was so excited when I saw the second book on my Kindle!  I seriously dropped everything and dove right in! And let me tell you, I could not turn the pages fast enough!

King of Souls begins where we were left off, and I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the book! Like all of L.A. Cotton’s books, the storyline was top-notch, but it was the characters that had me wishing for the pages to never end! The story was full of drama, angst, suspense, passion, and so much more! Oh, and that ending almost did me in! I think I held my breath through most of it!

I cannot wait for Enzo and Nora’s story!
