Parker S. Huntington has done it again. Constantly raising the bar and providing an engaging and well developed story with amazing/developed characters and an outstanding romance.

Just like the previous books I’ve read by her, I’m obsessed with Niccolaio Andretti. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I’m not into to Mafia stories. I tried to read on months ago and I could not get in to it. However, I’m 100% hooked in this world that Parker has created. I’m here for it, and I can’t wait to see what else Parker has in store.

Niccolaio Andretti gives an in-depth look of two characters who readers have already been introduced to. Both characters were introduced in Asher Black. Minka was sort of like the “mean girl” type, who eventually ended up helping Lucy. And Niccolaio was sort of like a mystery character, who helped Asher. Prior to starting Niccolaio Andretti, I wasn’t a fan of Minka and I didn’t necessarily have an opinion of Niccolaio. After reading the book, I can proudly say that I love both of these characters. So what’s the book about?

Like mentioned earlier, I grew to love Minka in this book. In Niccolaio Andretti, we learn that everything she does is for her little sister, who is in a group home. This includes dating someone who is twice her age, so that she can get access to his money. It’s a tough situation. And when he breaks up with her, she is forced to use blackmail on his neighbor so that she has a place to sleep. But that neighbor, Niccolaio has a million dollar bounty on his head. Unfortunately, for them both they don’t really like each other in the beginning and are both doing what they need to survive. And as the book progressives, we learn that both of them have been doing that for the majority of their live and have been making sacrifices for their younger siblings.

This book was a moment. An invite that I was happy to invite. In addition, to getting to see Asher and Lucy again (main characters from Asher Black), I got to experience a new romance and story that was just as captivating as the previously books. Besides the Mafia ties and enemies to loves tropes, Parker does not recycle any old tropes from her previous books. Niccolaio Andretti is a book that is great on its own and also great when you compare it to the other books in the series.
