4 Stars!! "What’s in a name? That which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet."Romeo and Juliet, Act 2 Scene 2 I always had a thing for anything mafia related and for forbidden stories as well, but I have to admit I was reluctant to read this one. First, because I knew is a modern day ‘Romeo and Juliet’ story and I’m not really a fan of this Shakespearean novel and secondly, because I thought it will be too young adult-ish for me. Well, it wasn’t and I’m happy to say it...

The two of them were a disaster waiting to happen, and they had just been fooling themselves

4 STARS! ★★★★ "The only good Barsanti is a dead Barsanti." When it comes to mafia reads, there is no doubt that JM Darhower is one of the queen of mafia writings especially with her Sempre series that managed to deliver a storyline so riveting and thrilling that had me glued to my Kindle all day long. By Any Other Name is no exception to her ability to once again transports her readers back into the dark world of the mafia, leaving us to deal with the violent acts that plagued the streets of w...

3.5*Ms. Darhower's always managed to fascinate me. Her romances starts like so many other books by the end they always stand apart in one way or the other. Here too, the way the romance started was flimsy and weak but as the story progressed it turned into a tightly knitted web where with each chapter things got dangerous and interesting. And it ended with a cliffhanger, guess I have no choice but to start second book right away.
