Book Review: Confess by Isabella Starling

My name is Amadeo Dacosta, but you... you will only call me Father.

I’ve been watching Carlotta Tomassi for months, biding my time to pluck her out of her sheltered life. The mafia kingpin’s daughter is not going to be a sweet little thing much longer. Not if I have anything to do with it.

Soon, she will be kidnapped. Taken. Captive. Carlotta’s transformation from sweet little lamb to broken sinner will begin in the cell I built for her. Barely legal and enchanting in her innocent beauty, she will be my prized possession.

I can’t wait for her to open her eyes and realize she’s now my property. The fear. The anticipation. The pain. I will take it all. And the first words I’ll tell her will seal her fate.

It's time to confess, little sinner. And Father does not forgive.

Confess is a full-length novel with a dirty priest straight out of your fantasies... or nightmares. This is a captive dark mafia romance.

My Review:

I know I’m walking into a world of hurt every time I start an Isabella Starling title. And yet, even knowing that by the end my heart is going to be a broken bleeding mess, I still crack open the book with a naïve innocence believing that maybe it won’t hurt so much this time. Hah! I almost couldn’t finish the last chapters of this book because I couldn’t see the words through my tears. Take my advice; keep the tissues handy. You’re going to need them. There are some elements of this story that strongly remind me of Pet. That might be part of why I loved this story so much. They’ve both left me a mindless wreck of seething emotions. I’m terrified of saying too much about Carlotta and Amadeo because the best parts of their story only have the right impact when you encounter them blind. It’s going to take me a while to recover from this story. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
