By Sin I Rise: Part 1, an all-new must-read dark enemies-to-lovers romance from USA Today bestselling author Cora Reilly is available now!
Maddox – Mad Dog – White hates everything the name Vitiello stands for, after he witnessed his father and his men getting butchered by the Capo of the Italian mob in their territory. Raised by his uncle, the president of the Tartarus MC, Maddox is destined to follow in his footsteps. Now their chapter is on the rise again, but for their ultimate triumph they need to destroy the Vitiello empire. And what better way to do it than to steal the spoilt Vitiello princess and break her piece by piece until her father begs for mercy.
Known as the spoilt princess of New York, Marcella Vitiello grew up in a golden cage. If your father is the most feared man in New York, people gift you with reverence.
Destined to marry the boyfriend approved by her father, Marcella is sick of being treated like an untouchable porcelain doll.
She resents the life forced upon her by her family until everything she took for granted is ripped from her. Where she’s now, her name doesn’t bring awe, only pain and humiliation.
If you’ve grown up in a high castle, the fall is all the deeper.
Sins of the fathers have a way of catching up…who’s going to bleed for them?
By Sin I Rise is the story of Marcella and Maddox. Marcella is Luca and Aria's daughter. Maddox is the son of the former president of the New Jersey chapter of the Tartarus MC. Luca killed Maddox's father so he kidnaps Marcella so he can use her to take revenge. This is an enemies-to-lovers romance, I usually am not a big fan of the kidnapping trope, but really thought it worked well in this book. The main reason for this was because Marcella was strong and didn't let the enemy get to her while she was their captive. She kept her composure and did her best to not let them get to her. Maddox has one thing on his mind and that his revenge. However, slowly he sees reason when things happen to Marcella done by the members of his MC. He struggles with his need for revenge and his growing feelings for Marcella. But what will weigh heavier on his conscience? You'll have to read and see.
As you can read in the title this is part one, so it will leave you a bit hanging in the end. But personally I didn't find it to have an extreme cliffhanger ending. I was totally okay with how the author ended the story and it makes me excited to see what will happen next. Cora is just such an amazing author and she is one of the best in the mafia romance genre. Her characters are strong and unique and she makes it easy to connect with them. The relationship between Maddox and Marcella had a very organic feel in my opinion, it didn't feel rushed or forced. The writing was great and very easy to read. I loved reuniting with previous characters and getting a quick glance of how they are doing. By Sin I Rise is another great mafia romance and I look forward to part two.
