Amelie
I knew I shouldn't have asked him for a ride.
My new neighbor is a study in contradictions—covered in tattoos and dripping intensity.
He’s alluring yet aloof, and his every calculated move is dangerously seductive.
Little did I know, he’s been systematically inserting himself into every part of my life.
Creeping beneath my protective armor.
Trapping me like a fly in his web before revealing his true identity.
Now, he’s standing before our families calling me his future wife.
He doesn’t understand that my life isn’t that simple.
I have secrets of my own, and his obsession with claiming me might just get me killed.

For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!
My Review
Devil's Thirst by Jill RamsowerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's been a while since I've read a Jill Ramsower book (I think I've actually missed one in her last series, that I'll have to go back to). A new one is always something to look forward to though and I was keen to get into Devil's Thirst. Once I started it, I was reluctant to put it down and found that I got through it far too quickly. That's the problem with good books, you don't want to stop reading and then feel sad that you've finished.
Devil's Thirst is the start of a new series, Moretti Men. It does link to her previous mafia series and feature characters from them. In fact we've met our heroine before. Amelie has had a tough time, being lost by her sister and suffering amnesia she now keeps to herself and concentrates on her dancing. Sante has been obsessed by her since they briefly met some years ago. While he thinks that she's an itch he can scratch and move on, it soon becomes clear that this obsession is much more and there's no leaving her once they've reconnected.
This is one of these books where if it were real live I'd be suggesting that she turns and runs a long way from him. He's obsessive and waving so many red flags that it's just about the only colour anyone can see. For this book and for Amelie though, it works. They make a great couple that connects as though they were made for one another (which I suppose they were really).
Devil's Thrist is a fantastic start to a new series and will also be loved by anyone who enjoyed the The Five Families or The Byrne Brothers' series'.
