Now she is giving us NICO and Elira He saved me from war. Fed me when I was in too much pain to eat. Smuggled me and my family into America when it became too dangerous to stay. But, Nico didn’t flee with us.While I began elementary school in the United States, he was building the greatest and toughest Mafia of the century.The Mafia Shqiptare. Nico is now King of all underground trades. Sexy. Aggressive. Brilliant. After years of nothing but silence, he’s back in my life, Ready to do whatever it takes to bring me into his universe. He isn’t leaving until he takes me with him. ————————————— This is the first book in Light my Fire ( Sex. Rock . Mafia ) it’s a slow burner, I wasn’t sure at the beginning whether or not I liked Elira but she grew on me. I am a total MAFIA freak throw in hot sex and and we have a winner sound the bell. I am a complete and total addict. This is my first Albanian mafia book though. The cover is fabulous dark and brooding and completely nails Nico’s personality. 10/10 for that alone. The prologue has your heart racing and takes you back to 1998 and Kosovo and the war going on, I remember it well, it was reported daily on English TV, The heart ache the pain the terror was fabulously written about with out been over the top. Nico has always been there for Elira he nursed her when she was sick, he saved her at a terrible terrible time, I won’t go too much into that you need to read the book. It’s not a boring history lesson, it happened it was a terrible event like all wars. Jessica lovingly has recreated the environment, You can feel the hostility, the horrors of a country ravaged by war, all seen through the eyes of a young girl. Elira was an extremely complex girl, she was real, the depth and feelings this girl portrayed you could feel, that you wanted to get inside the book and just hug her. Her trying to get an American to understand the war was hard, I understood the war part because some of our soldiers were there. It highlights the differences in cultures and what is important and what is not

So now to Nico…What can I say other than he is my book boyfriend of the moment, JUST MOUTH WATERING GOOD. I will dream that the extremely handsome cover model is Nico and he’s all mine. I can even pretend that the thought of him, doesn’t have me drooling ( it totally does). He is most definitely dominant and power just oozes from his pores you can feel it. Like thick treacle you just want to coat yourself. Elira and Nico was a lovers dream, My hopeless romantic heart beats to their to childhood connection all though he was quite a few years older than her to me it didn’t matter, when fate steps in you just know. I love this book… How could you not this lady gave us Vincent and Eve and now she’s given us Nico and Elira I want more so much more I have no idea what is coming next, but so looking forward to finding out.
