I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.It is said that first love is always alive and lives in your heart always. Well Brio Valentino aka Lilo and Lucila Girardi epitomised these very words. From the moment Lilo laid eyes on Lucila, he recognised her as the light to his darkness. The one and only woman meant for him. This he showed by his actions towards her. As fate would have it though, his many attempts to prevent his world from crossing over to hers ended on a bad note. The dangers from his world along with tragic events led to their separation. However, the situation which tore them apart would reunite them. Lucila had a problematic past. Forced to grow up early to care for her siblings. She engaged in abnormal eating habits. She has come a long way since then and has proven to be resilient. Brio has connections to the mafia, but he didn’t take an oath and he is not a made man. He marches to his own tune. Dubbed the Shadow Man, first by the love of his life, then by his acquaintances for the way he took out his targets. Lucila and Brio’s story was an absolute delight. Told from alternate POV and moving between past and present, the story sucked me in. Soon I became completely invested in the lives of the characters. Corte gave us a firsthand look into their lives. The reader shared in their pain, disappointments, challenges and triumphs. Their chemistry was undeniable, and the love they had for each other permeated the pages. It warmed my heart to see how their relationship in the past developed and their separation broke it. Learning the reason for the separation made it worse. Working their way back to each other came with many challenges. Watching them work through their issues and overcoming challenges proved a delight. Ruthless Consequences is a story that readers of the genre should add it to their TBR. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
