"It was Easter Sunday; the day Lilly's life went from safe and comfortable to dangerously unfamiliar. Her transformation takes her from a small town girl having an affair with a low ranked gangster in the Montiago crime syndicate, to a woman of grace and fortitude married to the head of the organization.
Easter's Lilly is an inspired journey from the idyllic to the darker side of self-discovery. Read as the over-privileged brothers embark on their journey that twists and turns down the road of unbridled passion in this first book of the series." ~~synopsis from Goodreads
This book starts off strong and just keeps going, with lots of drama and twists and turns. There is always something happening to Lilly, some of her own doing and then other times because of those around her. I guess that's what happens when one is involved with the Mafia. The book is very fast paced and sometimes it is hard to keep up with the action, there is always one thing after another. Sometimes I just had to take a break to catch my breath.
I was a little frustrated with Lilly at times. She seemed to have trouble staying loyal to the person/persons she was supposedly in love with. But as someone pointed out to her as she was about to be separated from her love for an extended period -- "You don't do alone very well." Let me tell you, that is the truth!
Part of the blame belongs to the men around her, they all tried to get to her and they were doing whatever they could to make her fall in love with them. Lilly is not a strong woman and had trouble not giving in to their attention. She did change towards the end of the book and was strong when she needed to be.
The story definitely ends with a cliff hanger. I can't wait for the next book in the series to see where the story goes - what more can happen to Lilly?
