ARC Book Review - VERSACE: The Violence Of Becoming by Tre KonSi

 









Book Trope: Mafia Romance. Age Gap. Multiple love interests.

Versace Aratrika Arabella Versace, is heir to the House of Versace she had left her home 3 years ago and went to lead a normal life. But after her friend Sanaaya Khalighi was gunned down she has returned to take control of the empire she left behind and revenge her friend. Versace is Bold, sharp-tongued, and fiercely independent. Versace will go into subconscious - where she thinks its reality, but, it's not, kinda like a dream state. She's never 100% sure if something is real or not. Day dreaming in a way. 

Versace family has just entered into negotiations for an arranged marriage with Aurelio Laurent Kashani who is with the Moretti family.  Aurelio closest cousin is Dominic Cassian Moretti who is the Mafia King for his family. Dominic and Arabella knew each other years ago when he saved her. But, Dominic doesn't know that she witnessed him killing her best friend / cousin, Sanaaya. Now she’s meeting him again through her now fiancé to be. Versace has revenged death on Dominic for killing her best friend / cousin. 

Zorian is supposed to be Versace’s shadow, her bodyguard. But with their midnight bike rides is her bodyguard something more than just a shadow? Zorian sees Versace when she is at her lowest point, when she's venerable, crying, having a breakdown. Will he be able to keep her demons away? Or is he just getting close to her to become her demon? 

There are to many nicknames, which makes it confusing to read. Sometimes the character goes by the first name, or the middle name or the childhood nick name.

This is Trekonsi’s debut novel.

I did receive a free ARC copy from the Book Author Tre KonSi. I am freely leaving a honest book review.

  Book Rating:  This is the 3rd book in the series, the conclusion of the series. You do need to read the other 2 books prior, as this continues where book 2 left off. We have Leonid, Kody, Frankie and Monty. Monty has opened his home / island to Leonid, Kody & Frankie to live in and recover. The three take the guest house next to the main house Monty is in.  Frankie starts getting text messages and phone calls from a blocked / restricted number. No one is sure who is sending them.
