Rise (The Larussio Legacy Book 2) by Via Mari – Review by Faith Jackson

Rise by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Giovanni Larussio is the boss of the most dominant crime family in Italy. As a forceful player, he knows how to command his way around the world, he and his cousins are known for their savageness in defeating their enemies. As head of the largest casino in Vegas, the lust to reign Serena Moretti can impact his foes to bring him down.
Moretti’s family has been impacted through the years directly from the Larussio family. They used to believe the whole family was their enemy but when Giovanni is around, he makes Serena weak give into his desires, but at the risk of putting herself in danger. Will she ever see it before it gets too late?
Can Giovanni protect her with his massive presence both physically and ruthless demeanor? Can her family forgive her naive nature? Will love conquer all through two feuding families?
This is a read like a modern day “Romeo and Juliet” except better. It’s action-packed and romantic at the same time. I love how it keeps you on edge for which way it’s gonna go. This is most definitely an intense read. Pick up this one and you won’t regret it.
