Brio: vigor or vivacity of style or performance.
No other word could better describe Brio "Lilo" Valentino. He came into my life uninvited when something in my voice spoke to him.
A fragility that couldn’t mask the pain.
From the beginning, he warned me that we were different. He was darkness. I was light. His Lucila.
Despite our differences, we fit together perfectly, like a lock and key. I had no choice but to let him in. Once inside, he picked me up off the floor and gave me hope for a brighter future.
The thing about darkness and light, though? They always create shadows. And the bloody secrets between us followed us around, keeping us separated, until we were forced to face them.
Choices have consequences—and I wasn’t sure whether ours were ruthless enough to keep us apart forever.
*Previously released in the Not Over You anthology. Now with an exclusive epilogue!

My Review
Ruthless Consequences by Bella Di Corte
My rating: 5 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So much angst! I just wanted them to be together but it was worth the wait. Those reveals really got me!
Lilo and Lucila happen to meet through his mother. For him, it was love at first sight. His darkness sought her light.
Her life hasn't always been easy. Her mother walked out on the family. She blames her father. Lucila is raising a half-sister that was dumped on their doorstep. And Lilo hurts her in a way she never expected.
In the present, she works at his father's bakery and still has dinner with his family on Sunday nights. She still lives with her father taking care of her sister. One night a man comes to the house demanding her father's debts be paid. She agrees to work at his nightclub to help pay off his debt.
She doesn't want Lilo to find out. But they're suddenly spending more time around each other. They still love each other deeply. But will it be enough to keep them together?
Thank you so much to the author and Wildfire for this ARC to review.
