Warring crime families, forbidden love, lies, betrayal, and suspense, the story was right up my alley. Mafia romances are some of my favorite things to read, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. I was browsing through Instagram one day when I saw the cover of The Mafia and His Angel: Part 1 by Lylah James and immediately signed up for an arc after reading the blurb.

The number of times that I’ve had to talk myself down from buying a book based solely on the cover that I knew I would never actually read is almost embarrassing. Lol If I see a book with a beautiful cover, I automatically want to read it.

You know how they say you should never judge a book by it’s cover? Well, I pretty much never follow that advice.
