Blurb: ⟫ It’s good to be the Boss. That’s what I thought my whole life.
Now I am the Boss. I’ll shoulder that responsibility with my beloved husband beside me. As long as I have Finch, I can handle whatever life throws at me.
But what they say is true: Be careful what you wish for.
My Family has been decimated. My allies are few. I’m holding onto power by a thread.
And the truth is, my husband is more vulnerable than ever. He’s always been a lost soul, and now he’s suffered yet another crushing loss.
I can’t protect him from Fate’s cruel blows. But I’m determined to protect him from our enemies, no matter what it takes—as soon as I get my own house in order.
Because I’m starting to wonder if there’s a traitor in the Morelli Family…
If I can't even trust my own men, how can I keep my beloved safe?
Beloved by the Boss is the sequel to Married to the Mobster, and is the second book in the Morelli Family Mafia Romance series.
Review: ⟫ This second book in the series was fascinating for so many different reasons. We see Luca and Finch growing into their new position, as well as struggling with the realities of it – being the Boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!
Finch goes through a lot in this book – he loses people he cares about, people who should have cared for him – and it’s sometimes hard to see how much he’s suffering. But Luca is always by his side, putting Finch first regardless of the consequences to himself. There were a lot more Mafia machinations in this book and it was really intriguing to see how it all worked in the inner sanctum, and how the men in the Commission were not as altruistic as they might originally have seemed.
I enjoyed reading this – I didn’t devour it at the same rate as I did the first one, possibly because I had to concentrate more to catch the names of the players involved. I was intrigued by the Connie/Celia situation, especially when Connie’s brother arrived on the scene. I must admit, I was very disappointed in Frank although by the end of the book I had more sympathy/understanding for him.
This was an enjoyable read and definitely not something I would consider filler, which I think a lot of second books can come across as. On to book three!
