Impossible Odds by Jill RamsowerMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Impossible Odds is book 4 in The Five Families Series by Jill Ramsower and can be read a s a standalone. The book centres on the delightful Giada Genovese, a mafia princess who takes no nonsense from anyone. On a night out in Vegas she comes across a stranger who she is instantly attracted too, but the feelings aren’t reciprocated. No harm, no foul for Giada as she walks away with her confidence intact, but no before she takes something from the mystery man that he wants back.
Primo isn’t going to let Giada get away with anything, mainly due to pride but also due to the fact that he is attracted to this mysterious beauty. The only problem is that Primo is part of the Cartel and the Cartel and the Mafia don’t mix.
What I really enjoyed about this book was the background we get about both Primo and Giada. Primo has had a tragic childhood and when secrets form that come to light it really does test his loyalties. He also tried so hard not to be attracted to Giada, but she just gets under his skin. We may not like everything this brooding man puts her through, but boy does he make up for his mistakes. Giada is a wonderful character, both vulnerable and strong, she has a mind of her own and she isn’t afraid to use it. I definitely think she was overlooked in her family, but you see the strength she has because like a queen, she doesn’t take anything lying down, she also doesn’t let Primo get away with anything and helps to crack his tough exterior.
This book is full of action and obstacles. We see into the mind of what it looks like to be part of the Cartel and what that means for relationships and power. I really enjoyed the background we get from Primo and how Giada helps him to move forward, even though they both have to take major risks to their lives. A fast paced, exciting read!
