Hold You Against Me
By
Skye Warren
“Hold You Against Me quite literally grabs a hold and refuses to let go until the end. Truly one of the first Mafia books I’ve read that sucked me in with a completely original and brilliant storyline that had me guessing the entire time!” - #1 NYT Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken
Once upon a time the daughter of a mafia king fell in love with a foot soldier…
This fairy tale didn’t have a happy ending.
My sister and I barely managed to escape alive, and we’ve lived in relative hiding ever since. I’m safe now, but I can never forget the boy who gave his life to save mine.
Except there’s a chance that he’s still alive. And he’s fighting a war.
Even knowing the risks, I have to find him. I have to find some way to protect him, the way he protected me. But he isn’t the boy I left behind. He’s a violent man. A criminal. And he’s been waiting for me—the final pawn in a dark game of survival and love.
“Suspenseful and sexy, Hold You Against Me will leave you gasping for breath and wanting more. Skye Warren is the queen of dark reads and she comes through once again with Hold You Against Me. An absolute must read.” - USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Shea

*"•*"•Excerpt from Hold You Against Me by Skye Warren*"•*"•
Something moves me gently, constant and rhythmic like waves. I’m warm. There’s something soft curling around my arms, wrapped inside my fists. Padding beneath my cheek that smells like home.
An unnatural darkness weighs down on me, keeping me from waking up—a demon’s whisper in my ear. You’re warm, you’re safe. Sleep.
But something is wrong.
I remember falling asleep, so suddenly, remember drinking water that I hadn’t filled. And I remember the phone call from Amy telling me that Giovanni’s alive. Impossible.
Awareness pricks my skin like a cold breeze. Wherever I am, I’m not alone.
I blink rapidly, forcing my eyes open. They adjust to the darkness quickly, taking in the tinted windows on either side and the wide leather bench curving beneath me. I’m in a car. A limo, to be exact. And it’s moving.
On the opposite side of the long space, a large body reclines. I can see the wide stance of his legs, the pale white of his shirt. A suit jacket tossed beside his hip. His face is hidden in the shadows of the vehicle.
I was raised by the head of the Las Vegas mafia, the capo. I grew up around guns and violence, so I know when a man is armed. It’s the way he holds himself, the warning shimmering around him like a dark halo.
This man is armed and extremely dangerous.
Every muscle in my body tenses. My mind still swims in thick water, because I must have been drugged. He drugged me, this faceless man. Why did he take me? It won’t be anything good, that’s for sure.
Even worse, I suspect this has something to do with my past, with my family. It’s messed up that I’d rather be taken by some random psycho. But at least then I’d have a chance of getting away.
“Who are you?” I demand, my voice hoarse from whatever drugs they gave me.
There’s a long pause, the weight of his regard as heavy as a finger trailing down my neck.
“Have I really changed that much, bella, that you don’t recognize me?”
-My Review -
"Fall in love with you? how could I fall in love with you when I loved you with every breath,every heartbeat,every lash of the fucking whip? When you invaded my dreams, my hallucinations . I can't stop loving you, Bella. I've tried God I've tried"
Oh where do I start! Mafia world, intoxicating, intriguing, deadly,
Giovanni, Clara's Savior if you will. A life for a life . Clara moves on although Giovanni has never left her soul. He's her last regret as she goes to bed, the boy who died for her....
That all changes...
Giovanni is back , from the dead perhaps, what's Clara to do? "His Bella"
He's not the same as she knew, he has changed in many ways since so long ago.
Now here's the shocker , if you have read Skye's books in the past, there's a surprise inside, one you would be surprised to see in her writing. Did I mention an hea?
Oh yes between the mind trips, and the past interrupting, there's actually a romantic happy ending!!
Skye Warren always has surprises up her sleeve, her writing is genuine , grasping, her plots thicken in the right places , she's honestly a magical writer, you'll notice as the pages flow so perfectly together, fine tuned like a perfect solo .
"Ti amo,bella . Mi vuio sposare"
