 "You want my obedience?" she taunted. "You want me to be a good little thing, do as I'm told? 
 "You've got another thing coming, Salvatore." She turned the knob and pushed it open. "If obedience was what you wanted, you chose the wrong woman to fuck with." 
 But... Salvatore is Not the Monster Lucia expects... 
 "I looked into his deep-blue eyes, seeing not darkness, not rage or hate. I saw instead goodness, as much as one could be good in our world." 
 So, as time passes... hating her Family's Enemy's Son is getting harder and harder to do! ... and the attraction that's growing between them is definetly Not helping! 
 "When did things get so complicated? Isabella and I were DeMarcos. We hated the Benedetti family. That was simple. It was black-and-white. But this? This attraction, this pull toward Salvatore? My yielding to him? It didn't make sense." 
 "I don't hate you." 
 "You have every right to." 
 "I don't. You're not like them, Salvatore." 
 Can LOVE ever be born from hate?! 
 And what to do when Lucia's family is planning to take revenge on the Benedetti family and take Lucia back?! 
 ******************* 
 I enjoyed this book... but I didn't Love it! (I guess it was because I didn't get many feels from this and I expected more, maybe?!) - with a similar plot I enjoyed The Book of Ivy a LOT More! 
 Lucia was a Strong female character (a fact I really liked!) - one which didn't go down without a Fight! - she's not a weak, inocent little lamb that gets eaten by the wolf and is helpless to do anything about it (like we see in most books - like Anastasia in Fifty Shades of Grey and others). 
 And there's more that Lust in this book (even though there are Tons of Lustful scenes here) ... 
 There's LOVE here between the Main Characters... and I really Liked that we could clearly see it and feel it :) 
 Now... the ending... I did like the ending, But I would have liked it Better if it was more detailed ... or maybe if there was a second book with Dominic's story... one where he redeems himself and finds Love?! ;)
