ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date MAY 31, 2022

Dario Lucari kidnapped me when I was just a bride sold for territory…and made me a captive wife.

He will never free me. I am his property and he lets me know that every time he hurts me.

My hate for him burns hotter than the embers of love. But for how long?

•••••

REVIEW:The Manhattan Mafia series is back at it again with book two. CD throws no punches with this one either, it will smack you in the face and have you begging for more. Make Me is angsty, suspenseful, read until you finish the book, type of book. I recommend reading book one; Take Me before diving into the ring on this one, but there is enough backstory that you could read it as a standalone.

Sarah and Dario give me all the power couple vibes and oomph, they were so much freaking fun to read. They give it all to each other. Dario is an over the top alpha, but he is starting to learn to deal with his vulnerability, Sarah on the other hand is coming into her own, learning her strengths and testing Dario’s world renowned patience.

No one, and I truly do mean know one, does mafia romance like Reiss. Her way of writing is stellar, every time I pick up one of her books, I know I’m going to enjoy it before I even finish it. Make Me is filled with revenge, spice and angst. If you’re looking for something to get your blood pumping and your fantasy’s awakened, look no further.

NOTE: The Excerpt is intended for mature readers due to strong language and content

 

“You’re really talking about a truce?”
“Call it what you want.”
“Fucking hell.” He laughs to himself. “You aren’t the same guy since you took my sister.”
I’m not. The Dario Lucari who lived the hour before he took Sarah had sold his soul to destroy the Colonia. This is my last chance to buy it back for her.
“I’m offering an end to all of this.”
“You started this war, and now you’re offering to stop it? Like it’s a bargain? And my sister? Remember her? She’s part of the deal.”
I expected him to try this trade, but it still pisses me off. “We’ll disappear. We’ll leave New York. That’s all you get out of me.”
“Why would we do that?” He looks into the tunnel. The light is dim yellow and the air curls unpredictably, catching wrappers and plastic bags in looping whirlwinds—only to casually drop them on the tracks. “For what? We don’t want peace. That’s not some prize. We want you strung up like a side of beef, and we want Sarah back.”
“She’s better off with me and you know it.” I wasn’t sure if he knew that until I see his reaction. He knows. He just doesn’t care. “You want to fight for her, you’re going to have a fight. But then what? Drag her home? To do what with her? Turn her out like a whore? Or slice her up and sell her?”
His flinch is slight and as fast as a blink, but it tells me there are things the Colonia do that he doesn’t like thinking about. He was born human and raised to be an animal. Now he’s trying hard to die an animal. But the real him—the human—keeps slipping out. He’s a soft touch, a reformer, and too much of a coward to change anything before his father is out of the picture.
“We can’t let you live.” His voice is partially drowned out by a warm wind from behind him. A nearly empty train arrives on the opposite platform. “Your deal is bullshit, and it sucks.”
We say nothing for a moment, while the doors open. He hides his anxiety. I hide my regrets.
Say you want peace, Massimo. All you have to do is want it.
Mr. Post doesn’t get on the train.
Revenge is exhausting. It takes up too much mental real estate. Too much time. Too much love. I need all of it for something else.
The conductor’s voice gurgles, and with a double beep, the doors slap closed.
We’re just two men talking.
Wind gusts from behind me. Train on our side.
“I’m not coming to you with another deal.” I shrug, offering to clean up a mess I made.
Massimo’s sneer tells me the discount on salvation won’t result in a sale. “Without Sarah, there’s no deal.”
“You can’t have her. Ever. She’s mine.”

 

CD Reiss is a New York Times bestselling author. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up she’s at the well hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.

She’s frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn’t ever gotten her out of chopping a single cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
