Cara Rossi’s life has been a mess ever since her identical twin was killed. She blames the mafia, its ways, and the people within the caustic culture for a painful reality that turned her world on its side. In an attempt to momentarily pause her misery, a night out puts her on a path with a man she shouldn’t get involved with simply because of his last name—Gian Guzzi.

He’s the kind of man that makes it hard to say no.

Gian Guzzi’s problems are piling up fast. A murdered grandfather, an unpredictable mafia, and a new boss that threatens both his family’s legacy and his life. As a Cosa Nostra underboss, Gian has a duty. First to la famiglia, and only then to himself. In the midst of the violent uncertainty that has become unrelenting in his days, Cara Rossi should only be a distraction for him to enjoy.

She’s a happiness that he was never allowed to choose before.

His lies.
This life.
Their love.

It all unravels eventually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great crime family story!!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017

Another great start to a crime family novel by an author that knows how to write both great suspense as well as really incredibly hot scenes into the action of the book and do crime family books really well. This is the story of Cara Rossi who has endured so much pain and loss in her life as one of the Rossi Crime family members of Chicago. Her most recent loss her twin sister Lea is gunned down in front of her. Lea was everything to her because her parents were never there for them during their entire life to the point that they didn't even feed or clothe them properly. Cara is in a complete downward spiral until she meets and gets involved with Gian Guzzi, who is a made man and underboss for the Guzzi familia in Canada where she currently goes to college. So much happens in this book with so many secrets, betrayals, and everyone seems to have their own agenda. So many lies and so much underlying things happening and as the author points out - lies can quickly unravel. Gian can be described as handsome, conceited, secretive, charming, flirty, and sexy as hell. Cara, beautiful, naïve in many ways, loving, caring, and so haunted and hurting. Love this series so far, big warning this book ends in a huge cliff hanger but the good news is that the next book is out for this duet series. I have already down loaded it and cannot wait to delve back into this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars He's almost perfect

Gian and Cara are just meant to be. He is so smooth, so confident and so cocky, but instead if being turned off by it I found myself melting and wanting more.
Cara was grieving the loss of her twin when a mutual friend drags her out to a club. There, she encounters Gian. Although Cara was brought up in the Mafia life she doesn't want anything to do with it, or any man associated with the mob. These two have a night to remember which turns into more.
There wasn't any Insta love here, we get to watch (and feel) as they fall in love with each other. Although not a smooth ride by any means, Cara and Gian just seem meant for each other. There's just one little thing standing in the way to their HEA. I'm now jumping straight into book two to see how that *slight* obstacle is handled and their HEA is achieved. I'm pretty sure I will be rereading this one!

Unraveled (Guzzi Duet #1) by Bethany-Kris
4 stars!!!

“He touched. He demanded. Her body reacted.”

Bethany-Kris is one of my favourite Mafia authors and once again she has delivered with Unraveled. Unraveled is the first book of a duet and to say that I am itching for the next one would be a severe understatement. It seems Bethany-Kris certainly knows how to end a book and keep the reader well and truly on the hook. We should only have a couple of months to wait, but still, I desperately need the next one. For me this was a quick read, the pages turned at the rate of knots, loved the action both in and out of the sheets, the character connection was on point and the chemistry between these two characters was seriously hot!! This one ticked all my mafia boxes.

Gian Guzzi is a made man, the underboss, a man being groomed for the position by his grandfather. When the time comes though for Gian to take the reins it seems the older generation of the Canadian famiglia of the Cosa Nostra have other ideas. This is where all the Mafia action takes, a battle of wills, a battle of minds, a battle of tactics and a battle of loyalty. Everything that makes Mafia books the crack they are.

“What matters the most is that someone started a war, and I plan on finishing it.”

Gian was everything a made man should be, he was an enigma, he was professional, but in his personal life he was totally different. Gian was a closet romantic, a filthy talker, bilingual with that perfect blend of Italian and French, a sharp dresser, inherently handsome and dominant and quite frankly Cara Rossi never stood a chance.

“Some people do say the Guzzi blood is made of nothing but gold, luck, and dirt.”

Cara Rossi was a Chicago mafia princess that had stayed away from the city and the family life. Cara and her twin had settled in Canada, far, far away from everything that Cara hates. Cara is drowning in grief and has been a recluse for months until one of her friends holds an intervention. Cara and Gian’s paths cross and herein begins one seriously hot, intense and all-consuming romance. What started out as a one night stand soon morphs into more but Gian is everything that Cara doesn’t want…until she does.

“Be where, or with whom, or do whatever you need to do to be happy. Take that risk—it’s worth it. Because this life is fleeting, and tomorrow might be the last time you smile, so it’s better to spend today happy.”

With any Mafia romance, you always know that these men play their cards extremely close to their chests and Gian is no different. Gian knows that Cara is extremely skittish and while he knows that she knows who he is, he doesn’t want to entrench her into his “life” until she is ready. Cara is kept on the periphery at her own choice, but the longer their relationship continues the more she is tempted to take the next step. Gian is so protective of her, incredibly infatuated and hopelessly in love which to be honest is probably some of the reasons for certain omissions. A relationship built on secrets is never healthy and it is here that Bethany-Kris certainly ramps up this story.

“Don’t you think it’s a little sad that you love someone who is just waiting for the other shoe to drop?”
“I think it’s sad that the woman I love feels like she has to wait on that at all.”

Yes, I will admit tears were shed, quite a few in fact and I cannot wait to see how Bethany-Kris gets Gian out of this particular sticky situation. Unraveled though was the perfect balance of Mafia plot and an all-consuming, where both parts were just as addictive as the other. The chemistry and the between the sheets scenes were seriously off the charts and Bethany-Kris certainly brought these characters to life. I think August should be when book two is released, I know that I for one will be eagerly anticipating that one. I seriously need it now!!

Unraveled – Bethany Kris
“ All lies unravel, eventually, no matter how good you are at telling them “

Why Bethany??? Why??? I thought my heart was going to break for Gian and Cara. I was so shocked with the unexpected turn of events that these two lovers – who are so clearly meant to be – found themselves in. And honestly their HEA seems literally impossible at this point. (unless you have read any of the Legacy books) and being that I have is what kept my heart from completely breaking. However Gian and Cara have a lot of hurdles to overcome and I’m anxious to see how they accomplish it. Especially since everything in this book unraveled in the end. I swear Bethany is trying to kill me. Despite knowing they overcome in the end. It sure didn’t keep me from feeling the pain they had and I know – I just freaking know so much more is on the way. I don’t know if my heart can take it… but I gotta find out. Here goes nothing (deep breath).

Gian is one sly man. He certainly could charm the clothes right off a women in a second. You have the feels for Cara right from the start and just want to help her the whole time. The two together is so electric and passionate. You can tell that these two should be together, but the world Gian lives in isn't fairy-tales & rainbows. Such and good story and can't wait to read the second one.

This was not bad or very good. I like Cara. Cara grows as person. Gian also grows, but not as much as Cora. There is action. There are good steamy scenes. My biggest problem is Gian hiding a huge secret from Cora. He betrayed her trust. I do not know if I will read the second book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duty, legacy and only then, love - always in that order. Always.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2019

....and that sums up Gian Guzzi and Cara Rossi’s storyline rather well.
On the official opening night of his latest Club, Gian Guzzi learns that his Grandfather and ‘Boss’ (Corrado Guzzi) is terminally ill.
....his life is about to change not only dramatically but also very bloodily - but at this stage of events, he just didn’t realise how much?
Cara Rossi is also at that official Opening Night. She’s there to forget. Forget that her identical twin sister was killed in a shoot-out, forget her la familigia heritage and the heartache it has always brought.
So a one-off, no strings attached night with Gian Guzzi, seemed a great way to forget and get her life back on track - but at this stage of events, she just didn’t realise how much?

First book of this duet and it leaves us hanging! And it’s all down to a photo bombshell. A bombshell that I for one certainly didn’t see coming and neither did Cara....

I’m going straight in with 5* for this one, even with that bombshell dropping and leaving total devastation

This book is a really good read, especially if you’re into that genre. I love Gian, although he sometimes makes poor decision.
Honestly, just read this book. I loved it, it was amazing!
