He kidnapped me and tied me to a chair in his basement. He asked me crazy questions about my father, the mayor—insane ramblings about how my dad worked with the Russian Bratva to destroy his Italian Mafia family over a decade ago. Max thinks I know something about this conspiracy, but he’s wrong; my dad is a good person. Once he lets me go, I’m determined to prove to him that my father is innocent. I have to put a stop to his misguided vendetta. But the deeper I dig for evidence, the more dangerous my life becomes. Max tells me there are other monsters lurking in the dark, and he intends to protect me from them. Whether I want him to or not. The scariest thing? I’m starting to think that Max Ferrara might not be so monstrous, after all…   About the Author: Julia Sykes is a USA Today bestselling author of edgy, emotional romance.

My Review:

RAPTURE & RUIN is book 1 in Rapture and Ruin series by Julia Sykes. This is Max Ferrara and Alexandra " Allie" Fitzgerald's story. The story begins with Italian mafia hot guy Max kidnapping Allie, the daughter of NYC mayor. He's out for revenge while Allie is truly innocent and is unaware of her father's unclean dealings with the mob, the bratva. Out of this kidnapping comes a slowburn romance that's sure to set the pulses racing while at the same time, figure out what is actually the truth regarding past and current. Everything is riding on the outcome. Allie and Max start to seek the truth while trying to not get killed. A story thats full of intense rollercoaster ride of emotional turmoil, intrigue, danger, suspense, secrets, heartbreak, anger, compassion, twists & turns that make for such an phenomenal  read. Story does end on a cliffhanger. Looking forward to book 2 in this new series. 

My Rating: 4.5 stars *********
