Ruin (songs of corruption #2) by CD Reiss

                                                                  Description:
Antonio is a killer. He's beautiful and educated; a prodigy of a thief and as violent a badass as ever came off the boat from Napoli. 

Theresa knows it, but that doesn't stop her from getting emotionally and physically entangled with him, and this is how, maybe she got it in her head that she can protect him. 

But it's not her job to save him, and she's just not getting that. Every time she tries to protect him, she practically gets him killed, and the tighter he grips her, the more dangerous she becomes. 

It's almost as if...well, he'd never admit this....but it's almost as if protecting her the way he does is the one thing he should stop. As if the only way he's ever going to find a moment's peace is to just embrace her as a partner, rather than a defenseless creature. 

But he'd never do that. Not this violent badass. 

This was how an heiress became a criminal. First, she didn’t want for money. She wanted only to be normal and good. She flew under the radar her whole life, making sure there was always someone next to her who shone brighter, talked faster, and laughed louder. Then the sun she circled shifted, and she became disoriented and dizzy from being thrown out of orbit. She bumped into a dark planet and broke, from the force of the impact, into millions of white-hot pieces, blasting apart into a firestorm of euphoria, a soundless roar of exultation in the vacuum of space.

                                                My opinion:
Theresa was spending her days in an apartment and she didn't really like it, but she was happy when Antonio was with her. She was bored inside there and 
needed to do something with her life but it was too dangerous.Paulie was like a brother to Antonio and it hurt him that he couldn't accept Theresa. Her
sister Margie was worried about her so she hired a man to look into Antonio, what he found made her fear for her younger sister's life. Things were getting
dangerous around them now that his former friend was going to run an empire. Antonio was going to protect her and for that he needed her by his side. Her ex
was threatening the people she loved and that made her angry and dangerous. Things were getting worst and worst for the two of them, Antonio was under alot of pressure so he can do "the right thing" for the mafia families.He couldn't do what was expected, Antonio only wanted for Theresa to be safe and happy.



Way too much fight and drama in this one. They have moments of happiness, which is the sex part. Theresa is a whole new person, no sign of her former self.
At some points it's like she was born in this mafia world. Antonio is torn between love and his responsibilities. Her family and friends wanted her to leave
him because he was a dangerous man. Everyone who was working with Antonio wanted him to leave her because it was bad for the work. Their relationship was

doomed.

My favourite lines:

1)“My job is to fuck you until the neighbors think I’m murdering you.”

2)He awakened a galaxy of burning stars that turned in the universe between my legs.

3)“Respect isn’t treating me like I’m made of sugar. Because I’m not. I’m made of cum and

saliva. I’m made of salty sweat, and I taste like fucking. I sound like an orgasm that’s so hard you

can’t even scream, and I fuck like a closed fist.”

4)As beautiful as he was on any given day, he was a treat for the eyes and heart when he laughed.

5)‘I’m going to fuck you easy and slow, until your bones turn into jelly, and you forget how to beg me
