Forbidden Vow by Lilith Vincent My rating: 5 of 5 stars 4.5 star Loved this book but it was missing something… not sure what but… The angst! The drama. The everything! I love Damiano possessiveness when it comes to Lucy. And I loved Lucy’s tenacity about life and what she wants. Parts I didn’t like where the mob/mafia part of this story… I felt like that was a side piece to the story but it needed to be more since it’s an underlined narrative of the whole storyline. Either way, it was a good story and I can’t wait for the next one. Review by Angie View all my reviews
