Deadly Vengeance (The Vaccaro Empire Collection Book 2) by Anise Storm – Review by M Policicchio

Deadly Vengeance by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Valenzia Vaccaro has always known that there was more to her parents’ and her father’s business than they told her but she never knew just how deadly and dangerous her father really is. By accident, one day she grabbed a box of items that belonged to her mother. Going through the box she discovered her mother’s diary. The diary told a tale of vengeance, sex, death and more than she ever wanted to know. When Valenzia confronted her mom with the truth, her mother confirmed it. Valenzia ran.

Luca Catalano didn’t discover who he was until shortly after his 21st birthday when his mother died and he discovered her journals. All the truths that he sought as a child yearning to know about his father were there in those journals, all the secrets that caused his mother to cry at night were laid out in her own handwriting. Luca decided to take his rightful place in his family and their world only to discover that he was the sole remaining Catalano. Luca slowly rebuilt the family name.

Luca also had a plan of vengeance for the man that took his father and uncles, Nazario Vaccaro. Luca will quietly seduce Valenzia Vaccaro, getting her to fall in love with him. If the seduction doesn’t work, he isn’t above kidnapping. When Valenzia runs from her family, she heads straight into the lion’s den and winds up in Luca’s bed. It takes time but Valenzia and Luca slowly start to build on their chance encounter and build a tentative friendship.

This book answers my questions from Deadly Intentions. It was a good addition to the series. It drags a bit at times but all the detail and backstory make sense when you figure it out. Good read!
