ARC REVIEW - Underboss
From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes an all new family in her With Me In Seattle world! Hold on to your seat as we introduce you to Kristen’s new MAFIA FAMILY!
As the eldest son of Seattle’s current mob boss, Carmine Martinelli’s life has never really been his own. But he doesn’t mind because his family means more to him than his life. Which is why he's determined to make those responsible for the death of his aunt and uncle pay—in inventive and gruesome ways. And what better way to do that than to infiltrate the Russian mafia from the inside? It’s a good thing the bratva’s princess is stunning and seemingly willing to do whatever he asks. This vengeance could be the perfect mix of business and pleasure.
Nadia Tarenkov has several things stacked against her: she’s a woman, and she’s not the eldest child in her family. But it doesn’t matter. She has her sights set on ruling the syndicate, and she always gets what she wants. When the heir to one of the States’ most powerful crime families comes knocking, Nadia sees it for the gift it is. He thinks he has her fooled, but she’s smarter, more cunning, and always two steps ahead. She’ll beat the gorgeous mobster at his own game, and secure her place in the fold.
What neither of them takes into consideration, however, is that they aren’t the only ones with deadly plans in motion. To survive, they’ll have to come clean and work together—and acknowledge that the growing love they’ve been pretending isn’t there, is very real.

Plot Summary :
Carmine and Nadia have always been on the opposite sides of the war. No matter how much they wanted each other , they knew it wouldn't work out like that. Now forced to be the pawns of a game much bigger than them , all they could do was to watch themselves slowly crumble.
They both were masterminds and wanted to destroy their families. No matter how much they had to use each other for that , they would accomplish it!
Overall Opinion :
The book started out so very good. I loved the Strength Nadia possessed and how she beat Carmine at his own game. Both of them were amazing.
However somewhere along the way the chemistry between these two just sizzled out. It felt flat to me and I had a hard time completing this book. However , the storyline was interesting and it kept me hooked straight through the end. I would recommend this book to all the mafia Romance lovers out there! If you love a spitfire Heroine and a hero who is determined to bring her to her knees , then don't miss this one. This book was a one time read for me and I hope you guys love it more too!
