Empire of Lust: A Dark Mafia Romance (Torrio Empire Book 1)

Product Information

If you have not yet read book one, Empire of Lust, do not read my review it will possibly contain spoilers for that book. You’ve been warned. Overall, the story is addictive, although it ends on another cliffhanger, which I'm not entirely sure was necessary but was well done. I am sure the author is setting up another series with Callum's daughter Tatum but it did at time make the story feel drawn out. Bianca- despite suspecting she loves him - had fled Callum's infatuation only to discover a horrifying secret that could change everything.... no spoilers. I liked seeing Bianca's dad get his stuff together ( sort of) and how he didn't disowned his own daughter for being with Callum despite everything he believed to be true about him.

I think I gave myself a hang nail while reading this book especially with its ending! 🤯 Lordddddd when I tell you this book phenomenal trust me 🤌 I couldn’t put the book down! Still addictive reading although it ends on another cliffhanger, which I'm not 100% sure is necessary. I found some elements really (too much of the dad, Tatum and long drawn out musing) could have been omitted altogether and this saga could have been resolved here. This second book goes on with Callum and Bianca’s deeper love story and trials and tribulations. Surprises come up that could possibly end some relationships. This series only gets better by the book! The last few chapters had me hanging on to my seat! I want more! I’m sad I have to wait for the next book but I know it will be AMAZING!!!!gawwdddd daddy CALLUM and his little bird 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️ and the scene WHERE HE WALKS HER LIKE A DOG 🥵🛐 I’m really hoping that Tatum and Romero have their own book because I’m also invested in whether or not they are able to work out their issues. This book is filled with twists and turns, spice, and DRAMA. I had so much fun reading this! I enjoyed seeing both of our main characters evolve but with that ending.. I can’t wait to see how the final book in the trilogy will go!! I love that we get to continue Empire of Lies by starting off from the cliffhanger in the first book. Okay, so I thought Callum was crazy in book 1, but he is so freaking unhinged in book 2, but I really enjoyed his character in Empire of Lies since we get to see how much Bianca has affected him both emotionally and physically. I also enjoyed seeing Bianca’s character how she was able to resist Callum and his temptation. Both Bianca and Callum, have such great character development in this book. Callum shows his true feelings for Bianca and would go through great lengths for both Bianca and for his daughter, Tatum. Bianca has grown a great deal, from being the naive girl to a women who is resilient and fierce.
