Breaking Donatella is a dark romance and there is some extreme behavior. That said, I absolutely loved this book. It had everything I enjoy in a dark story. Mafia? Yes. Strong alpha man? Yes. Scorching hot sex? Absolutely YES. Badass, independent heroine that refuses to be pushed around? Yes, yes, yes!
The twists and turns the story takes kept me invested in the story and I loved the characters so much in the end, that I was actually sad the story was over. I need more with these two.

The narration was perfect and I couldn't imagine a better duo for this story. ( )

There were elements of this story I liked that were appropriate to the lifestyle. However, I did struggle with some of the ways that Ella behaved in certain situations (her grandfather, for example). Those moments tended to be a little more cheesy. I did, however, put that aside because the premise of the story was good. ( )
