Set in Siobhan Davis' Mazzone Mafia universe, the Cold King of New York, book one in the Accardi Twins duet, showcases Don Joshua Accardi, the oldest Accardi twin, for a danger-filled and suspenseful story!
When red flags started popping up in the well organized world that Joshua Accardi operated in it was clear that forces that he was unaware of were at play and needed to be eliminated setting off a series of events no one could have imagined or prepared for. Calling in highly skilled, tough as nails Gia Bianchi to perform reconnaissance in enemy territory seemed like the logical solution until hearts got involved and things turned deadly.
Reserved and calculating, Joshua found himself flustered, baffled and intrigued by his attraction to clever, capable and ballsy Gia. This couple's chemistry was a surprise to both of them with lots of edgy moments of circling their desire. From tense confrontations to the emotional capitulation to their feelings for each other Joshua and Gia were a couple that readers will buy into and love.
Cold King of New York was full of surprises and all the dark scheming you would expect from a Siobhan Davis book. Great characters expanded this work adding depth and interesting interactions. This author's anticipation build up is always top notch and she did so with exceptional flair in this story!
One of the things that is often a feature of Siobhan Davis books is her empowerment of women in traditionally male dominated roles and environments. Her female portrayals are as formidable as they are memorable. You can always expect smart plotting and unexpected twists from this author and she does them exceedingly well. Siobhan Davis' Cold King of New York gives readers an intensely satisfying read with a whole lot of intrigue and spice!
Book Two
Don Caleb Accardi was rash and reckless and some might say heartless if they did not see his devotion to Elisa Salerno and his family. His darkness was impossible to contain and led him to a self destructive path. Elisa was sweetness personified a direct contrast to Caleb's brutality. Sensitive and caring, her love of Caleb from an early age directed her life course and proved to be one of her greatest strengths.
Caleb and Elisa's relationship was fraught with emotional trials and self imposed obstacles. The evolution of this pair's intense friendship over the years was a strong foundation for their inevitable capitulation to their feelings and mutual acceptance of their love. This couple had tons of chemistry but it was their emotional attachment that was the driving force of their love story.
From the start this work had a strong suspense subplot that played a big part in Caleb and Elisa's story. This author's ability to surprise her audience with unexpected twists was present and the supporting cast added to this work with their rich character presences.
Siobhan Davis continues to show her writing's durability and long lasting appeal. Stories that jump off the pages and hold her audience captive are to be expected from this author. Cruel King of New York was the well deserved HEA and perfect conclusion to the Accardi Twin's duet!
