This Day

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY OCT 25, 2021

Lipińska spins a tantalizing dark erotic romance between a volatile pair with this sequel to 365 Days. After Laura Biel marries don Massimo Torricelli, the Sicilian mob boss who abducted her in book one, her life looks like a fairy tale: she has a loving husband, a beautiful home, and a baby on the way. But Massimo has many enemies, and they know that the best way to cause him pain is to hurt the ones he loves. After a marital misunderstanding, Laura and her best friend, Olga, flee Sicily for their native Poland. But without her husband's protection, Laura is kidnapped and spirited off to the Canary Islands by the Spanish mafia. Now Massimo will move any mountain to rescue her. Fast-paced, suspenseful, and loaded with twists and turns, this edgy romance will entice fans enamored by complicated, dangerous heroes, though the violence may be triggering for some. The tale ends on a life-or-death cliffhanger, which will leave readers on the edges of their seats but will likely frustrate many in its lack of resolution. New readers will be able to get by on mentions of prior events, but this is best suited for returning fans. It's a flawed but addictive thrill ride.
