Release Blitz + Review | Villain of Secrets (Verona Legacy #3) by L.A. Cotton → 4.5 Stars
SERIES: Verona Legacy #3
AUTHOR: L.A. Cotton
GENRE: New Adult Mafia Romance
RELEASE DATE: February 10th, 2021
Nora Abato is the kind of girl people gravitate to.
Sassy. Selfless. Stubborn.
She knows what she wants and she’s determined to get it. And Nora wants her very own mafioso, the bad boy with a tortured soul who will do whatever it takes to protect his family.
Enzo Marchetti is the kind of guy people run from.
Rash. Reckless. Ruined.
As the Marchetti crime family's new enforcer, he’d rather spend his days getting his hands dirty than thinking about the future, or the girl with fire in her eyes and fight in her heart.
When a new enemy threatens the Marchetti empire, Enzo and Nora suddenly find themselves in close confines, and the undeniable connection between them is pushed to its limits. He can’t resist the girl who sees past the darkness in his soul and she can’t give up on the guy who has never been taught how to love.
There’s only one problem.
Enzo isn’t Nora’s fairytale prince, he’s the villain who will destroy her dream of a happily-ever-after.
He'll break her...
If she doesn’t break him first.

After meeting Enzo and Nora in Prince of Hearts and King of Souls, I couldn't wait for their own book! L.A. Cotton reached all my expectations with this fantastic novel. Villain of Secrets was suspenseful, with a lot of sexual tension and so much feels! Seriously, this couple owned me completely!
Enzo! That tortured hero! I loved him even more knowing all his inner thoughts and the reasons he is so closed off and cold at times. I wanted to squeeze him in a big hug from the sheer sadness oozing from him. I felt his hurt and conflict about the big event that happened with his father in the prior novel. The way he doesn't feel enough for Nora, pushing him to act like he doesn't care for her when it's the complete opposite! I can't pass over how phenomenal Nora was too! That girl is something so fierce! So sees under Enzo's hot and cold behavior and maybe that's the reason she's always going back to him despite his faults. She trusts in him and wants to help him heal. She's such a genuine and bold heroine, full of strength!
The shared scened between this electric pair were dripping with an amalgam of passion, heartache and devotion! I adored them so much! The plot of this novel was so gripping, beyond all the romance! I was hooked on everything happening in this mafia world. An omnipresent atmosphere of violence and threats planning over the gang of friends kept me invested all read long.
Villain of Secrets had me addicted by Nora and Enzo's tumultuous romantic journey! I couldn't have asked for a better denouement to their breathtakingly poignant love story! It was nice to witness the whole crew and I'm now ready for Matteo's book more than ever with that sudden ending!

Author of over thirty mature young adult and new adult novels, L A is happiest writing the kind of books she loves to read: addictive stories full of teenage angst, tension, twists and turns.
Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find L A immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
