Excerpt

Ever since I skipped
town last May to avoid a stalker, the threats against me have
stopped, but my boredom is at an all-time high, and so is my anxiety.
My family is in a particular line of work that makes a lot of
enemies. That’s right, I am a mafia princess. Working at the Sex On
The Beach nightclub on the Atlantic City Boardwalk has been the
hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. I hate what that says
about who I used to be. I know my family would hate that I even work
here if I had told them where I was.
If the name does not
tell you what this club is all about, the atmosphere and pretty much
general lack of morals will. It looks like a seventies porno set
threw up in here and left shag carpeting and bright colored furniture
behind. It is a monstrosity for sure. I am not sure who is behind the
threats, but I knew I had to leave to protect my family and myself.
It started with notes showing up in my purse whenever I was out. I
opened them and promptly tossed them. Threats are not new to the
Vitali family, and that is how we handled them. My immediate family
consists of my father, Fabrizio, my mother, Fawn, my oldest brother,
Brando; still older than me brother, Bartolo; then me; and finally,
the youngest, Bella. I have a million cousins, though my favorite is
Albie. However, our “you can’t touch me” mentality had run its
course when I received a picture of my younger sister, Bella. It was
taken up close, but you could tell she had no idea she was being
photographed. She was laughing with a boy from her Drama class. That
note gave me two options: either marry the stalker, whoever he is, or
disappear forever. The picture told me that Bella would face the
brunt of refusal to do either. I chose the latter and took only cash,
my important documents, and clothes, leaving my cell phone and credit
cards behind. However, the first thing I bought was a new phone. I
knew that I wouldn’t be able to not talk to my mom. For some
reason, I didn’t think that it was fair of me to drag my family
into a fight they had nothing to do with. They have enough going on
with the day to day shit they deal with.
I drove until I
reached the ocean, which I have always been fascinated with. Atlantic
City seemed far enough away to be safe but close enough if I decided
to risk it and head home. I rented an apartment above a butcher shop
and have been working for almost a year now, but I miss my family and
my mom’s authentic Italian cooking. I cannot even remember the last
time I had a meal that did not come from the bar or a fast food
joint. If I am honest, I miss my mom’s hugs more than anything. At
least I get to talk to her every once in a while, but it’s just not
the same. Last year, I graduated from NYU with a dual certification
in elementary education and secondary history with a minor in
History. I got certified to be a teacher in New York, but then all
this happened, and I never got a chance to get a job.
Review: The 425 Madison Series is one of my favorite series. Let Me Stay is the last book in this batch of books.
I wish I could say it held up to the rest of the series for me, but it just wasn't the book for me. It had so much potential. Brynn's a mafia princess, Brendan's a game designer. There's an added element of a stalker. I mean this book should have been fabulous in spades.
However Brynn and Brendan are both virgins? That just didn't cut it for me, especially as Brendan is a fabulous lover? And he's never done it? And there is no awkwardness? I don't care how old you are, the first time is seldom perfect and full of sunshine, rainbows and orgasms.
And once again...the relationship is all sex. There is absolutely no reason for these two to be in a relationship. There's nothing they share in common. I'm kind of used to that in a romance novels but it doesn't make for a totally believable story. Sex will only get you so far and hit shouldn't = HEA.
Now lets get to the good stuff. The mystery and the fact that Brynn's folks are in the mob. They embrace Brendan easily and when Brynn's stalker becomes known to them, well Brendan easily becomes one of them.
I found the culprit to be a little easy to figure out, but I enjoyed the suspense at the end. It gives the book a little oomph and for me this story definitely needed that.
Everything was really fast paced and it felt hurried at times.
It was a quick read and I enjoyed it, but it lacked some of the wow factor that other books in the series had.
