Review: Ricardo (Santini Brothers #1) by Marita A. Hansen

 Sarah      4 Stars, Marita A. Hansen, Review, Ricardo, Santini Brothers     No comments   






On a Mediterranean Island run by mafia, the Santini brothers are fighting a war against the Landi family, who are targeting their loved ones. After his fiancée is murdered, Ricardo, the eldest of the brothers, starts spiraling out of control, his violent nature leading him down a path that could rip his family apart. But, when two women walk into his life...

His first love—Bianca D’Angelo

And an assassin from the Viper Sisterhood

...he finds himself pulled into a world of espionage, intrigue, and seduction, where he'll win his family's safety and the woman of his dreams—or lose everything.



*Complimentary copy received for review purposes.

Ricardo Santini is the eldest of his brothers, and the heir for the title Don, mob boss aka the head of a crime family. The war has broken out against the Landi family. Everyone’s loved ones are targeted either due to their name or who the opposing family thinks the enemy is or who they are related to. His fiancĂ© was murdered, which led his violent temper to become fiercer. Will his rage be the undoing of his family?

Can you imagine not being able to feel and/or not being able to control your temper/rage? This is exactly what Ricardo experiences every day. Tasks as simple as shaving, taking a shower, cannot be completed due to risk of being hurt.

Does not being able to feel physically hinder you from loving someone completely?

Even though it’s been over 10 years since Bianca and Ricardo have been together, will he still feel as strongly for her as he did back then?

Can the Santinis trust the Viper Sisterhood?

Secrets, lies, and the TRUTH will come out in this story told by Ricardo. But who will suffer the consequences? What deaths will come from it, what lives will be spared?

I gave this book 4 stars. At first, I was having a hard time trying to figure out all the background information and who went with whom, and how everyone was connected. It took a little while. Also after I learned some of the Italian lingo that helped me understand as well. Ricardo is a strong man who exudes power, masculinity. He is terrifying, yet stunning. Was he truly labeled as a killer because his heart was so cold he would rather kill than bed a woman? Read this book and find out…

I cannot wait for Book #2 re: Brando and what his decisions will be for his future now knowing about his past.
