BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The #1 New York Times bestselling “queen of paranormal romance”* is back with a sexy new series starring a Chicago crime family that hides a dark, mystical secret…
Whether it’s fast cars or fast women, Stefano Ferraro gets what he wants. When he’s not fodder for the paparazzi, he commands Ferraro family businesses—both legitimate and illegitimate.
While their criminal activity is simply a rumor yet to be proven, no one knows the real truth. The Ferraros are a family of shadow riders capable of manipulating light and dark, an ability Stefano thought ran in his family alone—until now…
With little left to her name, Francesca Cappello has come to Chicago in hopes of a new life. She wasn’t expecting to attract the attention of a man with primal hunger in his eyes, driven to claim her as his to protect and to please. And if he discovers her secret, it could ruin her…
REVIEW:
3.25 Hearts This is a new series from Feehan and quite different than the GhostWalkers series. The men in this story have a special talent of becoming part of the shadows and in doing so they take vengeance into their own hands.
I never really liked Stefano. He didn’t have a warmness about him even when he was at his warmest with Francesca. Yes he became sweeter but he almost stayed too alpha. I get the whole shadows pulled together to show they were meant to be together but there was too much “love at first sight”. Stefano becomes so possessive at first sight for me.
Francesca is a bit of a welcome mat. She is so sweet she just seems to let everyone take control over her. I get she is scared because of the past but she just falls under the protection of the Ferraro family and bang her whole life becomes theirs.
I enjoyed the story and maybe it was because so much has to be explained in the first book of a new series but this just didn’t do it for me. But I look forward to the brothers and Emme finding their riders.
