Little did I know, he’s been systematically inserting himself into every part of my life. Creeping beneath my protective armor. Trapping me like a fly in his web before revealing his true identity.

My Thoughts: 4/5 stars
Based on some other reviews, this is the start of a new standlone series that is interconnected with another series from the author. Well, I know what I’m looking up and downloading now! DEVIL’S THIRST was my introduction to Jill Ramsower and I know I’ll be going on a spree finding her backlist books AND I’ll be anxiously waiting for the next book in this Moretti Men series to come out. Do you like ballerinas and the mafia? Well, this is exactly what you need to pick up.
Sante is back after years being abroad in Italy, a visit that was meant to be short lived turned into him rethinking his travels when he sees Amelie again. His obsession is instant and he knows he has to make her his, no matter what it takes. Amelie is a ballet dancer and she is preparing for the quick approaching opening night of a new production, and she can’t afford any distractions. Of course her mysterious new neighbor proves to challenge that.
The chemistry between Sante and Amelie was palpable and jumped off the page. This wasn’t terribly violent but this is the mafia, so there will be some present. As the author mentions in the synopsis, she considers what she writes to be “mafia lite” and there is never any violence or cruelty between the main characters. This is a slower burn kind of spice between the characters, but it definitely is worth the slower build. I’m looking forward to the next book and checking out the previous series so I can get to know these other characters that made their cameos!

Jill is a Texan, born and raised. She manages the hectic social calendars for her three active children and occasionally spends an evening with her dashing husband. Aside from being an author and a mom, she’s a travel junkie and loves to read when she is not lost in her own stories.
With Jill’s books, you can count on confident heroines, plenty of steamy tension, and deliciously assertive leading men. There are no guarantees in life, but with her books, you know everything will work out in the end. However, a perfect ending would not be nearly as satisfying without a seemingly insurmountable challenge.
