Corrupting the Innocent by P. Rayne is now live! 

Sofia Moretti

For years, I’ve harbored a secret love for my best friend’s older brother. Yet, he’s never shown any sign of sharing my feelings.

My fantasies will remain just that though—fantasies. For two reasons. The first being he’s arranged to marry the cunning and cold-hearted, Aurora Salucci. The second being that Antonio always does what his duty demands, and if his father wants him married to Aurora, he’ll marry her.

Now, I’m forced to watch her parade him all over the Sicuro Academy, our private college for mafia children, as my feelings of loneliness grow.

I do my best to push Antonio from my mind and when another man shows me interest, I hope he’ll help me move on from the man that will never be mine.

Turns out it doesn’t quite work that way though.

Antonio La Rosa

My life has been a series of duties—to the mafia, to my father, but never to myself.

That’s why my father arranged my engagement to Aurora Salucci. We’re a good match as far as mafia politics go but it leaves a lot to be desired for me. She’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in a wife with her hard edges and being about as malleable as granite. 

Then there’s Sofia Moretti, my little sister’s best friend. I never looked at her with anything other than sisterly affection, until recently.

Now, she consumes my every thought. My every desire.

Her innocence beckons me, and I yearn to be the one who taints it.

But I have a duty. And that duty means prioritizing my family’s needs above my own.

And right now, the family needs me to uncover the traitor plotting against us. Little do I know, the enemy is closer than I ever imagined.

My Thoughts <3

Duty to the family is the number one thing in Mafia books, and let me tell you that Corrupting the Innocent definitely shows that! I loved getting to know Sofia and Antonio more, the snippets that we saw from the first book just did not do them justice. These two have off the charts chemistry, but does what the heart want even measure up to what needs to be done– guess you will just have to read to see! 🙂

All in all, I adored this book. I really liked the characters and seeing how everything in this world operates. I totally give this book 4.5 outta 5 stars and cannot wait to see what comes next!

PS: Thank you to P. Rayne and Valentine PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
