Review: Bellini Born by Siena Trap
Thank you to Luna Literary for the ARC of this book.
Bellini Born follows Summer as she finds herself working as the nanny for Matteo Bellini, the temporary don of the Italian mafia in Chicago.
My biggest romance novel gripe is when the characters don't get to know each other. Summer has an instant connection with Matteo's daughters and there is a strong insta-lust with Matteo but they never actually spend any time getting to know each other at all. They spend some time skirting around each other before diving headfirst into sleeping together to declaring they are in love not long after that. I would have loved for more time to have passed or for conversations between them to have been shown because I just wasn't able to see this strong love that they were declaring for each other. I did like how much Summer cared for the girls and how it was clear that she didn't want to replace their dead mom.
Synopsis:
The task was simple: fill in for my best friend as the lifeguard at a private birthday party. But the next thing I know, I’m pulling a little girl out of the pool and resuscitating her.
That’s when I learned a key detail my best friend failed to mention. The party was for a pint-sized mafia princess, and I’d unknowingly saved the life of the Don’s four-year-old daughter.
Now, in Matteo Bellini’s mind, he owes me a debt.
Yet somehow, his repayment gets twisted around to a point where I find myself as the nanny to his two little girls, living under his roof.
Captivated by the charming single dad, I begin to believe that his world isn’t as dangerous as everyone keeps trying to warn me. So, of course, the minute I let my guard down, I am proven very, very wrong.
