When She Unravels: A Dark Mafia Romance (The Fallen Book 1)

Product Information

When She Unravels is an 18+ dark mafia romance with mature themes, profanity, and plenty of steam. It's book one in The Fallen series but can be read as a standalone. It was so much better than I expected. The story of Valentina & Damiano is beautiful, heartbreaking and exciting. The writing style is awesome! This book had its moments, Vale is a badass and the author made the effort of adding layers to both Vale and Damiano’s characters but IDK what it is, it just felt a little flat sometimes, however it did have the occasional thrill when they’d talk a little dirty to each other.

I’ve been raised to be the perfect mafia wife, but when my marriage turns into a horrific nightmare, I have no choice but to leave everything behind and start a new life.This is my first time reading Gabrielle Sands' book and I gotta say, I'm impressed. I really enjoyed this book and the tension was oh my god.

This was excellent and exactly what I needed after a fluffy sweet romance. I’d say this was somewhat dark but not Pepper Winters dark if ya know what I mean! He truly cares for his family and later for Valentina. I liked his character and the way he acts. He‘s a big bad guy, but has a big soft spot for Ale. this book was really intent on rah-rah-rah Girl Power… but it felt lopsided. The hero never got a chance to shine. He was emasculated at all times. He bowed to her on everything and wasn’t even capable of the stuff that was in his hands. I expect a little more intensity of personality with a mafia hero. He was pretty beta.

The MCs had great chemistry and I enjoyed their interactions. This is definitely instalove/instalust. There is also technically cheating in this book since Valentina is still married when her and Damiano get together but I don't consider it cheating since her marriage was never a marriage. Her husband is a psychopath who really needed to get major help. The first book in The Fallen series. This book tells the story of Damiano De Rossi and Valentina Garzolo Conte.
