About this ebook

Chicago’s Ferraro crime family will do anything to protect one of their own in this thrilling entry in the Shadow Riders series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.

Nicoletta Gomez was a terrified teenager when Taviano Ferraro and his brother saved her life. Ever since, she’s been trying to rise above what was done to her, molding herself into a survivor under the protective eyes of the Ferraro family. All the while, she’s been falling hopelessly in love with the man who knows her darkest secrets.…

With one look, Taviano knew that Nicoletta was his, just as he felt their shadows connect. But no matter how much he wanted to claim her, he knew she needed time to become her own woman. When Nicoletta once again finds herself in the sights of dangerous men, a split-second decision has Taviano breaking all of the Ferraro family’s rules to keep her safe. And as far as he’s concerned, the reward is more than worth the risk.

Ratings and reviews

This is possibly the worst example of writing have read in a long time. Hilariously so. If this were handed in on a beginners writing class assignment it would be graded F minus. While attempting character development in the first chapter any chance with following through on interest in any character introduced is zero. Softly pornographic trash is better suited to a poorly written Harlequin Romance. Absolute waste of time and money.

The weakest book in the series' although much time was spent fleshing out characters. I expected the girl to kill her rapist,ending was a disappointment still a good read.

We first meet Nicoletta in Book 1 of the series. The Ferraro family rescue her from a horrible situation and find her adoptive parents in their neighborhood. That way they can watch over her. Now we’re in Book 5 and she’s all grown up, but still struggles daily with the horrors of her past. Taviano, the youngest Ferraro has had a soft spot for Nicoletta ever since her rescue. When evil comes for Nicoletta again, Taviano and the rest of the Ferraros circle the wagons. I love reading about the Ferraros and I always enjoy revisiting the series. Taviano is so protective and patient with Nicoletta. I thought they paired well together. Nicoletta has suffered so much but she refuses to give up. Her quiet strength and core of steal help her fight her demons and hold her own against Taviano’s fierce stubbornness. I’m hoping against hope that Emmanuelle’s book is next! She’s the only sister and last of the Ferraros to pair up and her book should be a doozy! She’s in love with the nephew of an enemy family. Will she follow her heart or her duty to the family? We need to know! I enjoyed the book and I’m looking forward to the next one. ***I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of the book provided by the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
