Review of Alessio (The Guzzi Legacy Book 2) by Bethany-Kris
Alessio is hurt. And why shouldn't he be? Corrado's actions were unthinking and cruel. So now Les is back to figure out the WHY of what Corrado did. But to figure out the why, he'll have to be around Ginny. So he can study her and figure out, why her? What's so special about HER?
Will Alessio find what Corrado sees in Ginny? Will he come to love her, too? Will he ever allow Corrado to tell him he loves him?
And then there's poor Ginny. She was pulled into this, whatever this is, by Corrado and she has to stay with him for her own safety. And she's enjoyed her time with Corrado. But now Alessio's here, with them, observing her, watching her, making her want him. She feels the same guilt Corrado does. Like she's come between two men who obviously have feelings for each other. And now she wants them...BOTH. Can she have them? Will they let her? Or is she just, a distraction, a toy?
"We are all individual people, but there are parts of me that overlap with one, and then another part that overlaps with the other. And there are parts of them that only overlap with each other, too, but there is a piece of all of us that overlap together."
I have to get one thing out in the beginning - Alessio is not quite what I expected it to be. And that's both good, and bad. Good because it's less action, less violent than Bethany-Kris' other mafia tales. Not that I don't love her other mafia tales, because I do, but it's nice to have a little break from non-stop action and violence once in awhile, like Alessio gives us. But bad because the pace is a lot slower and meanders a bit too much, and I started to wonder if these three would EVER get their shit together and just be together. There was a lot of not much going on for a good third of the story and I started to think that perhaps the whole story would be like this slowly moving thing. Thankfully, the pace picked up and things started happening, the men started to realize their feelings, and started taking steps toward making this menage work. In the end, I came to a few conclusions - 1) Alessio is mine. I love that man! He's sweet underneath his tightly wound facade. He loves without reserve. And he's sooo sexy. 2) MMF should definitely be in more mafia writing. 3) Les, Ginny and Corrado are a great trio. I may not love Ginny and Corrado like I love Les, but they all love each other equally, so I'm happy that finally became a tried and true thing by the end. And 4) I cannot wait for more mafia love from Bethany-Kris!
"They were three imperfect people who had somehow found a way to fit together."
