I’m not the kind of girl you forget.

I wish I was.

I wish I was normal.

That I could blend into a crowd. Have a future with the man I’ve loved my entire life…

Maxon James understands me in a way others can’t.

For as long as I can remember, he’s vowed that one day he would claim my wild, rebel heart. God knows I wanted him to try. I wanted the life he promised me in his lyrics.

But his assurances couldn’t change the past, and the infamous mafia blood in my veins guarantees my heart can’t be claimed.

Somewhere along the way, I slipped. I let myself believe we could have it all. Now a dark, menacing shadow hovers between us, mocking us for daring to hope for a normal future.

And it’s come to collect on a blood oath.

My name’s Elizabeth Borello—Libby for short. Don’t worry about forgetting it… He hasn’t.

4.5 STARS

Romantic suspense books are my favorite genre, or sub-genre, to read.  This book was awesome!!  It had romance, suspense, Mafia, rock stars, sex, intrigue, and the best friends and family ever.  It is the story of Libby (Elizabeth Borelli aka Rebel) and Maxon (aka Rockstar) and their struggle to be the couple they are destined to be.  There are so many obstacles in their way, it’s almost too much!!! You might need to break out the Tums when you read this book.  She’s a Mafia Princess and he’s a Rockstar and when he arrives back home determined to stay and be with her, all heck breaks loose.  By the end of the book, Libby has definitely lived up to her Rebel roots, transforming from a scared girl into a bad a$$ woman!!!

The book is told in alternating POV, which I love.  While the book got a little confusing a time or two, the author was able to bring everything back together so I didn’t get frustrated.  I know she was just be vague as to not give away too much too soon.

Luckily, there is no cliffhanger!!!!!  I was so afraid there would be.  But I am definitely eagerly awaiting the second book in this series.
