Book Description
Tony Garza has been Odalie Everett's nemesis since the day they met. Once a New Jersey crime boss, Tony now owns an art gallery in New York, where he spends most of his time delegating his shadier business to subordinates. Odalie is a professional singer whose lifelong dream is to perform at the Met. She never expected to run into the heartbreaker from her past when she rents a small house near Tony's Manhattan apartment while taking voice lessons. But when they reconnect, they can't help but give in to unforgettable passion.
As their relationship blossoms, deadly figures from Tony's past come back to exact revenge, and he'll do anything to protect Odalie…even bring her back home to her family ranch in Texas. But as Odalie struggles with the idea of leaving behind her dreams in the city to have true love in Texas, she finds herself caught in the ultimate trap—and Tony's past won't let them go.
My Review
Odalie has a future singing in Opera in front of thousands of people because her voice is just that good. But she has a secret that not many people know, she has horrible stage fright so this might be harder than she thought. She's had a crush on Tony for a while but he's not interested.
Tony has a troubled past and there are people who are out to get him so for that reason and others, he keeps Odalie at arms length away from him even though he can see she is enamored with him whenever they are around each other. The more he finds out about her though, the more she surprises him and the more he has a hard time staying away from her.
Odalie has never had a boyfriend and Tony is older than she is but his questionable past is what really bothers him and why he wants to keep her away from him. He wants her to have a normal future and go on to be the opera singer she wants to be without mobsters coming out of the woodwork coming after her because they found out that he cares for her.
But they can only stay away from each other for so long before they give in to the passion they feel for one another. They are happy for a while but Tony's past creeps up and puts Odalie in danger. I knew Tony would be a totally alpha hero though and he was. He knows how to handle business. I'm surprised anyone was dumb enough to come after anyone he cares about really. This has such a good ending too. I'm such a fan of Diana Palmer's books, she never fails to give us a great story.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
