<b>Sweet Temptation is another mafia romance masterpiece from Cora Reilly. It has the perfectly dark, edgy and intense vibe. The chemistry is powerful and sexy to the infinity. The storyline and writing made it impossible for me to put it down once I started!</b>

Giulia has to marry Cassio Moretti, the Underboss of Philadelphia on the day after her eighteenth birthday. Cassio is almost double her age and he lost his wife just four months back under mysterious circumstances. He is not looking for a relationship. He just needs a wife to take care of his children, Daniele and Simona. But Giulia is determined to make this marriage work. Will she like what she finds in Cassio's past? Can they find love?


Cassio is a fascinating and intriguing man. He is no different from other Mafia men. His business needs him to be untrusting, cold hearted, ruthless and cruel. And he is exceptionally good at ruling his city. But he has a different side too. He treated Giulia with respect and honour. His ex wife has betrayed him and left him raw and vulnerable. But he is still being fair and loving to his kids. Giulia may be young and inexperienced. But she is optimistic, full of life, determined, compassionate and the biggest heart possible. She slowly and cautiously tried to heal the children. She acted defiant and stubborn when needed. And soft and supportive when Cassio was hurting. She was initially terrified of Cassio but she felt the broken and hurting man behind the mask of cruelty and rage. My heart breaks for this unique couple. Specially the children.They started as uncertain and odd couple but the trials of life gradually made them partners. They are very much part of Mafia life but Cassio adored Giulia like she is her lifeline and Giulia needed his love and protection to be whole. The right amount of Mafia drama and action made this story unputdownable.

<b>Cora Reilly manages to create a better Mafia Romance with each new book. Sweet Temptations was a mesmerizing treat of sin, drama and heartaching love.</b>

Single Dad, age gap and arranged marriage is what got me as soon as I read that in the synopsis.  All the things I love about a book were mentioned here.

Giulia and Cassio were certainly opposites attract and I would have thought that with Giulia being so young and having to grow up so fast to take over a family certainly blew me away.  She did the total opposite of what I thought she would.  She acted very mature for her age and jumped right in as the wife and mother role once she was married to Cassio.  

Cassio did not, in a million years think that his marriage to Giulia would work and it would just be a marriage of convenience.  But she certainly proved to him that she could actually make this marriage work and learn to trust her husband and for her husband to trust her.  He was a hard man to convince that a marriage could work and the couple could fall in love for real but Giulia was determined to make this hard man fall in love with her.

Simona and Daniele stole my heart.  Those kids were so darn adorable and the way Giulia took care of them certainly put a mark on me.

This was a not so dark mafia book, but it certainly did have its elements.  This was more about a relationship between a much older man and younger woman that had its challenges and most definitely issues that needed to be worked out.

In the end, this was a sweet, romantic and one of a kind love story that I highly enjoyed!

Received ARC from Author for Honest Review.
I Give this Book a 4.5/5 Star Rating, Listing as 4.

No Spoilers!
I Completely Recommended This!

HEA(?): Yes!
Romance: 4/5
Heat: 4-4.5/5
Dark(?): 2.5/5
(To me) this is what I called Dark Lite, it has dark elements but isn’t a main focus, I would’ve like it to be a bit darker. I would’ve loved to have seen more of what Cassio does when he’s working, some dark elements would’ve been great.

Suspense: 5/5
I definitely was kept in my toes cause there honestly were many places this book could’ve stopped if the author didn’t want to continue.
I’m thankfully that the author didn’t end the book leaving you frustrated with mystery.
Cause we’ve all read those books that have stopped abruptly leaving you with unanswered questions and quite a bit of suspense cause you don’t know how things with pan-out for the relationship of the characters and such.

Drama: 3.5-4/5, leaning more towards 4/5.
Drama wise it’s not as high as I was expecting it to be because this is based in the Mafia world.
But honestly I’m thankful it wasn’t a typical/predictable read.
I do wish that there was a bit more drama though and as well as more scenes between Cassio, Giulia, Daniele & Simona.
I honestly wish I witnessed the Christmas scenes that was given in the book, and if Daniele gave his dad the present that was hinted he might give.

I found this book to be a Sensational read, I loved the flow of the book from beginning to end but I do wish it was longer cause I honestly think the book needed to be Lol. But that’s just me wanting to stay in this world lol.
I’m honestly restraining myself from saying tons of things I loved about this book!

I won’t forget this read cause I found Giulia to be a very memorable character.
Her mindset and her ability to think in her feet and quickly analyze situations is almost identical to my mindset.
I think some people might have trouble with her being so rational in certain situations, but i love her because if it. I will never forget her, such a strong lead female and is a genuinely perfect fit for Cassio.

I loved Daniele and Simona, I hope they both get books but especially Daniele, I really think he should get one.

This is my first read from this Author and I will most definitely be hunting down the rest of this series! Especially Luca’s!

I adore the vivid mafia world created by Cora Reilly, so I was very excited to hear that a new standalone mafia romance was in the works. What I wasn't prepared for is that Sweet Temptation is so much more than a mafia romance. It's a story that will punch you in the gut and make you feel. Sweet Temptation is an emotional, angsty and often heartbreaking story of love, loss, devotion and second chances. It's different from Cora's other mafia books in that it's heavily focused on relationships and is more character driven. There isn't much mafia action to be found here, even though we do get to reconnect with some favorite characters. I simply adore Giulia. Much like the sunflowers she is so fond of, she brought color and sunshine into the lives of Cassio and his children. She appears to be made of love and joy and is just a perfect puzzle piece to complete this broken family. Cassio is such an amazing father and a feared leader. He oozes dominance and it was very entertaining to see this tiny spitfire of a "teenager" stand up to him. Together these two are fire both in the bedroom and when it comes to fiercely protecting their family. Cora Reilly did such an amazing job writing the kids characters, especially Daniele. She made my heart break for both Daniele and Cassio and cheer for every tiny step towards repairing their bond. Definitely one of my favorite books by Ms. Reilly!

5⭐️

I finished this book overnight. I've been wanting to read it ever since I've read the blurb and signed up for it.

It's a mafia, single-dad and an age-gap romance. The heroine was 18 and the anti-hero was 31... just need to put it out there just incase.

This is my first Cora Reilly read... So I didn't know what to expect.

I enjoyed the book. It was riveting. I'm not normally a mafia-romance reader but like I said earlier, the blurb got me hooked. The pacing was great, the characters were captivating and the overall storyline was riveting.

If you're a fan LJ Shen's THE KISS THIEF, then this is the book to pick up next!

I am a little shaken by the end of this book, truth be told. I had a fearful thought to read, however, as soon as I started reading Giulia and Cassio's story, everything changed. Everything.

Talking about the general aspects of the book, I loved every part of it. Since the construction of Giulia's personality, her bangs, her stubbornness and her perseverance.

Cassio had everything to work out. And gave. I was very surprised even though I knew I would have liked him since the beginning of the story. He was breaking his barriers, letting Giulia into his life in such a subtle, caring way, but with caution not to end up like his last wife.

About this part, I found this "mystery" about the cause of his death very interesting, which only three people knew about, and one of them was Cassio himself.

When I knew it would be a wedding for convenience, that Giulia would be serving only as the mother of Cassio's children, my expectations were super high because I would love to see Cassio, an Underboss, eventually doubling up for Giulia.

About Daniele and Simona: I couldn't be more pleased. The whole construction around the fact that Daniele did not speak, was cranky all the time and did not leave his tablet and ends up sleeping in his mother's bed, with tears on his face, until his coexistence with Giulia and the true protagonist of this book: That little tricky dog ​​Loulou!

Finally, I noticed that our dear Luca Vitiello appears a lot in the book and is constantly quoted, and I really liked his position for the conflict at the end of the book that involved him.

Finally, Giulia and Cassio's love story really took my breath away. Giulia's constant participation in the most difficult moments, made the book more dynamic and different from what I had read before in this universe.

Cora Reilly did a great job, painted all the canvases possible and closed the cycle of this couple that I admired from beginning to end. Wonderful. Congratulations.

I went into this book having read all the Born in Blood Chronicle books, but not the Camorra Chronicokes yet. Let me assure anyone else in the same boat, that this book is truly a standalone and none of the other books need to be read. This can be read at any time. I would advise reading it after the first Born in Blood Chronicles book, only because the main characters are mentioned, but overall, it can be read first since none of their plot is given away. A cousin named Kiera is mentioned, and I believe she’s part of the Camorra Chronicles series; she’s young in this one, so it does seem to occur before the CC books (I think). In fact, reading this book first would be a good introduction to the mafia world that Cora has created. 

Take the title literally though. I found this one to be a much lighter and sweeter read than the other series. While Cassio is an underboss, we don’t see much of his job occuring. The entire story is focused on family, marriage, and trust. I’m still not sure how I feel about it. I feel like the other books did a great job keeping mafia story and romance plotline balanced, while this one focused solely on romance and less of Cassio’s life outside family.

Overall though, I do think this is a great book and I enjoyed reading it so much! At first, I didn’t since it reminded me too much of Luca and Aria, with the young wife, forced marriage, but soon after the wedding ceremony, this book took a different turn and for that I was pleased. 

Cassio is an underboss of Luca. The book begins with the death of his wife, leaving behind a toddler who now refuses to acknowledge his father and a baby. Guilia’s parents take advantage of the situation and align a marriage with their 17-year-old daughter, to take place four months later when she’s 18. So jump ahead by four months and that’s what happens. Cassio wants nothing to do with her really; she’s a convenient person to be a wife and now a mother to his children, while she also doesn’t want the marriage, but does want to make the best of it. 

The author does a great job of showing Gulia’s mothering instincts emerge. While fearful at first, she soon figures it out and soon has the kids loving her more than him. I think the two characters balanced each other beautifully. After his first horrible marriage, he needs someone to love and trust. She is able to give him that, all while not allowing him to just be her boss; her husband. She is determined to be a family properly, while keeping her own personality in tact. She challenges him to ensure she isn’t overtaken by him. 

The thing I disliked about this book was the son. I found given his young age, he experienced the trauma as an older child would. 

It was a great book, a sweet read, and a wonderful standalone addition to Cora’s mafia worlds. It really makes me want to jump back into them all.

"I’d never been a man for the sweet things in life, I suddenly craved it."

Some fall in love - some crash into it! And you, you'll crash into Sweet Temptation!

Mafia Romance. Arranged Marriage. Single Dad. Age Gap. And an absolute perfection!
My first book by Cora and she blew me away! If her books are even remotely as stronghearted and addictive as this one, I'm going to have a reading Cora party.

After losing his wife, Cassio is left to take care of two small children. And he needs a mother for them. He's one of the bosses in the mafia world, but even he has to follow the traditional rules and has to get married. Cassio is ... OH.MY.GOD.SO.SEXY! In any way. The first time he meets Gulia, he's a total jerk. But you'll love him anyway. He thinks of her as a child, and pretty soon she proves him wrong.
Gulia, she stole my heart. Her character is so strong willed, and stubborn. She’s amazing, self-sacrificing, even to a fault. She’s so caring and humble! She slowly melts the ice around Cassio's heart and she captures the hearts of the kids by simply loving them unconditionaly.

I've finished reading Sweet Temptation yesterday, but I'm already craving a reread. The story is emotional, heartbreaking, erotic, and beautifully told - I loved the way it made me feel. There was no way to go wrong here! I was addicted from the very first page and I never wanted to stop reading.

A book that will stay with me for a long time, for sure. FLAWLESS!

Yes, Sweet Temptation has the arranged marriage trope. But no, this isn’t like any other book Cora has written before. Don’t get me wrong, this is still as captivating and addicting as her other books, but the way she built the characters and the plot was somehow different and more enchanting than usual.

Giulia and Cassio’s relationship surprised me in a good way because they really had to learn how to deal with their differences in order to be a happy couple. The scenes were Giulia was trying to convince Cassio of something were endearing and funny as hell. He was frustrated with her most of the time, but you could see it was just a front because he was actually smitten with her. Their banter was simply amazing and I love that their relationship was light and carefree. Well, as light and carefree as a relationship in the mafia can be lol

Individually, Giulia captured my heart ever since the beginning and now she’s my favorite female character in the BIBMC/Camorra world. She’s just like I imagined she would be: quirky, unique, sweet, funny and so strong. Even though Cassio’s reputation scared her, she stood up to him every step of the way. Giulia knew what kind of relationship she wanted and she never settled for anything less. In a world where women aren’t allowed to stand up for themselves, Giulia’s non-nonsense attitude was truly a breath of fresh air.

My favorite thing about Giulia is that she never changed who she was to fit the “trophy wife” mold. Regardless of what other people thought, she was always sure of herself. Also, I loved that her transition from a teenager without any responsibilities to a young wife and mom happened naturally and effortlessly. Nothing about it felt forced. On the contrary, it felt like she was part of Cassio’s little family all along. Seeing her fighting like a lioness to protect Cassio, Daniele and Simone was everything. She handled every adversity with such grace and patience that it was impossible to not fall in love with her.

I have to say I was worried Cassio would be a 2.0 version of Dante, but thankfully, that didn’t happen. He was ruthless, broody and liked to control every single thing in his life, but you could clearly see that he wasn’t a bad person. He always treated Giulia and his children with the respect they deserved and even when they got on his nerves, he never took his frustrations out on them. The best thing is that he respects them because he loves them with all of his heart and not just because it’s his duty. Furthermore, the way he finally let go of the past and embraced his present and future was incredible. His growth as a husband and father is honestly one of my favorite things about this book.

I also loved that Daniele and Simona weren’t just there to fill the space. They weren’t forgotten at all and actually had more scenes than I thought they would have. That made me really happy because it’s rare to find books where the kids are treated like human beings that deserve love and attention. A nice plus is that their scenes made the book even cuter and emotional. Sweet Temptation wouldn’t be the same without them, that’s for sure.

Overall, I feel like this is Cora’s most consistent book. She found the perfect balance between developing Giulia and Cassio’s characters and their relationship as a couple and as parents. Even though the action scenes only happened towards the end of the book, I wasn’t bothered by it because this is a book focused on their family and how they started to trust and love each other. So yeah, if you like the opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine, age-gap and single parent tropes, check out Sweet Temptation on March 10th.

Sweet Temptation was a perfect addition to Reilly's mafia romance repertoire. It focuses on Cassio, the Underboss of Philadelphia and someone you may remember from brief cameos in the Born in Blood series. However, Sweet Temptation is a standalone so you don't need to have read either the Born in Blood or Camorra Chronicles series' beforehand - though if you haven't read them, you'll definitely want to after this one! It was so good!

Cassio is recently widowed with two young children under the age of 3. As a busy Underboss, he needs to find a wife who can raise his children during the day and warm his bed at night. Enter Guilia - 18 years old, recent high school graduate with no experience caring for children. What she does have is a strong determination to make the marriage she's been thrown into work and bring together her new, instant family.

One of the things I genuinely loved about this story is the way Reilly tackled the topic of age gaps. There is an approximately 13 year age gap between Cassio and Guilia, and at the beginning of the story, the age difference is quite obvious as these two characters are suddenly thrown together in their arranged marriage. Cassio is in his early 30's, a leader in Philadelphia and heavily focused on work and maintaining power and control in his region. He cares for his two young children deeply but his role requires he puts his job first. Since Guilia is a teenager, she knew she'd eventually become a wife but she never expected to suddenly become a mother too. At the beginning of the book, she just wants to paint and discover who she is as a person. As their marriage and life together progresses, Cassio and Guilia's age gap becomes less obvious. Guilia matures quickly in her new caretaker role and uses this opportunity to discover herself. At the same time, Guilia's presence in Cassio's life is also slowly ridding him of his cynicism as he learns to love life again and all of Guilia's quirks (including her sunflowers!). They were such a perfect couple together!

I adored seeing Guilia's role as stepmother to two young children. As previously mentioned, Guilia has no experience around young children but she's expected to suddenly know everything about them. That doesn't stop this smart, strong, young woman from making the best of her situation by researching all she can on caring for children. As most people know though, theory and practice are two completely different things and you see Guilia's inner strength continue to grow further as she gets thrown learning curve after learning curve. Despite it all, she refuses to give up and becomes exactly what each member in the family needs to overcome their own shadowy past. She was their bright sunflower standing tall in the face of adversity!

I don't want to give too much away about the rest of the storyline but will say it was so incredibly well written. I was hooked from the first word through to the last and didn't want it to end. Cassio was a fantastic character to read more about and I'm so glad Reilly decided to write his story. I can't wait to see what else Reilly releases in future - but in the meantime, I'm going to be re-reading Sweet Temptation and the rest of the Born in Blood and Camorra Chronicles books.

I love Giulia, Cassio, and their kids with all my heart. They made me laugh and cry, they made my heart melt and break. Never for a second had they ever made me feel anger or annoyance towards them, just love and heartbreak. 

I know I've said not too long ago that Gemma Bazzoli was my favorite girl from both series, but that ship has sailed. Giulia (Rizzo) Moretti is definitely my favorite. She was everything I hoped her to be and more. My girl has a backbone. She's cute, she's strong. She's simply PERFECT. I love her, period.

Cassio, Cassio, Cassio. This is my new man right here, who I love. He was better than I could ever imagine. His story broke my heart. I wanted to murder some people on his and his kids' behalf. His relationship with his kids, especially Danielle, made me SO EMOTIONAL. I shed a bunch of tears.

Danielle broke my heart too. My whole soul cried for him. I just wanted to wrap him in a blanket and protect him. Still do, just thinking about the future and that traumatizing plot twist. I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT.

As for Cassio & Giulia as a couple. It is as Cassio said, they were completely opposites, but they complemented each other. They were perfect together, Giulia was indeed everything Cassio and his children needed and some. 

So yeah, I love this book. I honestly didn't think any of Cora's books could beat Twisted Bonds for me, but this one just did that. My favorite of hers so far.

p.s. Cassio is now sharing the number one spot with Nino and Luca.

I knew from the start that I would love this book, I mean, it has arranged marriage, age gap, and single dad? Some of my favorites tropes. 

This is very different from what I've read from Cora before, but not in a bad way or something like that, Cassio and Giulia's story is very unique comparing to the others mafia books that we know from Cora. 

At the start, I was a little worried about the age difference and how that would affect the dynamic between Giulia and Cassio, but it was very well developed. Despite her age, Giulia was very mature and she didn’t let that difference come between her and Cassio. I liked that she didn’t let anything change her, she really stayed true to herself. Cassio, from the beginning, was very patient with Giulia and we can see how their relationship develops from just being an arranged marriage. 

Of course, we have Daniele and Simona, those two kids not only stole Giulia’s heart but mine in the process lol. They’re just too cute and all of the scenes between the four of them, or even just Giulia and the kids were the sweetest! 

Overall, the book was super sweet and sexy as well. If you like Cora’s books or even any of those tropes I super recommend Sweet Temptation.

Wow!!!!! What an amazing 10 star story that consumed me until the very end.  A solid page turner that must be read.

  When Giulia turns 18, she will wed Cassio a widow mafia underboss.  She must become wife and mother to his 2 children.  What starts as an arranged marriage of convenience will turn into so much more.

  Yes this is about the mafia but it’s so much more.  A young lady who come at a time where a family was destroyed by tragedy.  She will put this family back together.  It’s a beautifully written love story.  I wouldn’t call it dark.  Yes there events that are brutal but easily managed as a reading.  

  The characters were perfectly developed and made me feel for them.  An amazing storyline that was unique.  This is my first book by this author and I’m really impressed by the quality and dept of this story.  Bottomline this is a must read.

Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA.  I strongly recommend this story.  I will soon be checking more from this author.

Reseña de Sweet Temptation
.

Porque todos son mis hijos, y lucharé contra todos como una guerrera para protegerlos de los horrores de este mundo.
.

Ambos sabemos que eres una dulce tentación a la que no puedo resistirme.
.

Primero antes de entrar de lleno a Cassio y Giulia voy a decir que ame ver a Luca siendo capo desde otros ojos.. el respeto, admiración y miedo que provoca. Y en las escenas que apareció simplemente maravilloso.

Me ha gustado mucho Sweet Temptation, aunque al principio vemos una Giulia con miedo a lo que le espera con este matrimonio con un hombre mucho más mayor que ella y lo único que se dice de él es lo cruel y despiadado que es, y los rumores de la muerte de su esposa. Se enfrentó a él y no se dejó.

Cassio un hombre que carga demasiado peso encima de sus hombros tras la muerte de su esposa y quedándose con 2 niños pequeños y uno de ellos con el trauma de ello( mi corazón sufrió con este niño perdido). Aunque al principio lo vemos cerrado con este matrimonio y no la puso fácil a Giulia (admiración a esta mujer por la paciencia y fortaleza que tuvo) pero fue ganándose a todos con su forma de ser.. dio vida a esta familia que lo necesitaba, en especial a Cassio que le quitó años, haciéndolo rejuvenecer.

Ella era el plus que necesitaba en su día a día, pero los eventos pasado podrá ennegrecer, lo que ella ha construido y logrado.. haciendo que saque las garras y convirtiéndose en una leona para defender a capa y espada a su nueva familia.

La relación de ellos fue creciendo de a poco.. fue un larga camino, porque Giulia tenía que ganarse primero su confianza...a pesar que Cassio lo intentó, no pudo resistirse a su dulce tentación. ¿Pero quién podría resistirse a Giulia con su inocencia, fortaleza, dulzura y insolencia?

No se pueden perder de leer Sweet Temptation este 10 de marzo. Fue un increíble trabajo de Cora Reilly.

Pd: disfrute leyendo sobre los nuevos personajes y sus relaciones con Giulia y  Cassio y también algunos se ganaron y reafirmaron mi odio.

ahhhhhhh cora reilly has done it again!!! I loved this book omg. Giulia is one of my favourite heroines out of all of Cora’s books - she is so unapologetically herself and so SO funny, eg. 

“If Cassio wants a lady, he should stop robbing cradles,” I muttered.
i genuinely laughed out loud at that, giulia is an actual comedian!!

This book had some of my favourite tropes such as arranged marriage and age gap, and while i wasn’t sure about the children at first i absolutely ADORE daniele and simona ❤️❤️ cassio also really grew on me and i loved seeing both Giulia and Cassio’s growth, as individuals, as a couple, and as parents.

This book was sweet, sexy and so wholesome and my god i love the Moretti family so much!! I really hope we’ll get to see more of them, maybe in the Sins of the fathers ?? *hint hint*

((also every mention of the falcones had me screaming))

<B>Sweet, Spice & Everything Nice ⭐️</b> 

Holy Batshit, Robin! Stick a fork in me, I’m done. Cora Reilly did it again. She blew my mind with her <i>Sweet Temptation</i>, as I imagined she would. 

<Img src="https://mypinkfairytales.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/1343CE58-4465-49C7-8830-B880872159E4.jpeg"/>

I was hooked from the beginning, glued to the pages and wishing it would never end. This book had it all - alpha male hero, brave heroine and the most perfect story.

<Img src="https://mypinkfairytales.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/5CA65CAE-8A18-4D9F-9993-7B33258A4503-scaled.jpeg"/> 

Cassio Moretti is the Underboss of Philadelphia. Single dad, as his wife recently died. 

<P><b><i><a href=“https://www.goodreads.com”>Luca</a> made him Underboss because the two of them were alike - both irrevocably cruel, pitiless, and built like bulls.”  </b></i></p> 

<Img src="https://mypinkfairytales.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/C1FFD156-5BAA-4A4B-9CBA-E7A429AD9CBA.jpeg"/> 

Giulia Rizzo just turned eighteen when she had to marry Cassio and become a mother to his children. 
They weren’t prepared for each other. He hated her bangs, quirky dresses, and her obsession with sunflowers.
She feared him, but stood her ground.

<P><b><i>”Maybe because of her age because she was still youthfully optimistic, naively reckless, and daringly unconventional.”</b></i></p> 

<Img src="https://mypinkfairytales.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/D70F84E2-9D59-47A0-A1C3-38BFB037B021.jpeg"/> 

The fourteen years age gap between them soon vanished. Her determination to fix everything and everyone that was broken in her new house, the sassy attitude, the sizzling chemistry they shared since the very beginning are just a few of the things that make this story so incredible.

<Img src="https://mypinkfairytales.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/A9DFBA1A-178B-461A-9E9F-3867F89A7CC7.jpeg"/> 

Everything turns heartbreaking complicated, secrets surface, but it was such an emotionally beautiful experience. 
Trust me when I say, this is your next book hangover. You’ll become addicted and left wanting <i>MORE.</i>

This is definitely a standalone, but it would be a pity to miss out all the other Cora Reilly mafia novels. Each one is better than the other!
