~What's It About? ~
One that ended far too soon.
But I would rather live for only one day with him, than suffer a lifetime without him. Being with Salvatore was worth a thousand deaths. Through him, I experienced heaven on earth, something very few people find. So don’t cry for me, I was truly happy. But if you can’t stop your tears, save them for Salvatore…
The one I left behind.
The Five Families series is a collection of standalone novels and novellas centered around different members of ruling mafia families on a famous island off the southern coast of Italy.
Books from this series can be read as a companion to The Santini Brothers and My Masters' Nightmare series.
I Love You, Salvatore covers 26 years, chronicling Rosa's and Salvatore's love story. It's broken up into 3 parts: The Early Years (age 10-19), The Middle Years (20-29), The Final Years (30-36), with a current 2014 scene spliced through. It's from Rosa's point of view.
~ My Thoughts ~
WOW!! It's all I can really come up with. I had told my self that I wasn't going to cry reading this as I have read Ricardo way before this one so I knew the outcome but damn I just couldn't help it. I cried like a baby in fact I didn't think I would be able to finish it due to how emotional it made me. I know one thing the author truly seems to always amaze me with her writing style and her stories are always wonderful. It's not Dark love this time around but true love in it's most raw and truest form possible.
It's only a 1 person POV story and it's almost told as if your reading her journal as the main character Rosa shares her most intimate moments with Salvatore and the heartache of the end :( It's one of the best you get the soft sweeter side of the Mafia and the rough edges of love at it's most strongest time. It's one of the best I have ever read. The main character you get her past heartaches and her present heartache all in one amazing story right up to the end that will forever change the way you think about mafia wives.
I rather enjoyed the time I took to read this fantastic story. It really helped sum up the others that I have read and really blends into them as well just a little hop into a back seat all it really is. It's meant to be a stand alone but to really understand what has happened I recommend reading My Masters Nightmare along with Ricardo which those are amazing stories as well. It has only taken me a few hours to read this bad boy from cover to cover and love every minute of it. The passion, love, and truths it holds is really a wonderful site for the heart to hold. This is one story I feel I didn't get enough of I in a way want more I feel I need more it's that great. MUST READ!!!
