Before he became Tony Delaney’s right-hand man, Tick lost his dreams of being happy. After ten years, he is still haunted by the sudden loss of his fiancée and unborn son. Going through life thinking he doesn’t deserve happiness, his nights become filled with endless one-night stands. That is until he rescues Cyma. As quickly as he saves her, she walks out of his life, disappearing into the crowded Manhattan street. Days later, he accidentally runs into her at a party and his attraction grows stronger.

Cyma’s hard life has been nothing but pain and sorrow. She labels the charismatic stranger who saved her as a knight in shining armor. A chance meeting days later and Tick turns her world upside down. She's scared to hold on to the fairy-tale dream of being with him, but she's even more afraid to let him go.

Can these two somehow heal each other? Will their love survive all of the obstacles that are thrown their way?

BLOGS REVIEW

This is the first book that I have read by this author and it certainly will not be its last. In a mafia read we all expect drama, but I totally did not expect this side of a story told. We got to see a different side of the mafia and it was heartwarming and heart wrenching all at the same time.
Oh my the first few pages will leave you gasping and hope that it was a dream. Sadly it was not a dream. We meet Dante AKA Tick and the events that lead up to this gasp. Dante is not the same man after this tragic loss. He feels guilty like it is his fault, when its not. It took him many years of grieving to get over this hurdle. He gets a chance to do right when Cyma is saved by him literally. Fate was lucky he was able to run into her again after that.
Cyma has had a bad childhood, adult life and is struggling to stay strong for her daughter. Her ex, Ryan is beyond scum and should never be given the chance to pro-create after what he does. Cyma has low self esteem based upon how she was treated and when Dante becomes all alpha on her, it's hard for her to understand and grasp as she can't see what beauty he sees in her.
Dante and Cyma both had tragic events occur and they both healed each other. Dante was born a protector and the actions he takes with Cyma and Leila is awinspiring (not spelled wrong cause it causes an aw and inspires those who may experience this in life). While Anaya/Tony and his godson, Xavier helped him over the years, Cyma and Leila truly healed him after he knew that Kayla and Jr were just fine and ok with this.
The analogy of Second Tick and Second Dante are hilarious. It's like thing one and thing two; you never know which you are going to get until the mood strikes. lol. Gotta say that Brenda would be a perfect match for Magnum. Though I am still hoping that Manny gets blindsided and sees the relationship light. He's bound to get a wake up call soon.
The ending was finally some happy tears as we had some nail biting moments there with how this story was going to go. I will say to the author that even though this book was hard for you to write, I truly thank you for finishing this book as it was a read worth reading and leaves others who may have been placed in these situations with hope. While we know not all will have positive outcomes, those that do will cherish those moments so much more. A mafia must read (nothing gorgy so for those who can't handle, you will be fine reading this one) for those of you who enjoy these types of reads.
