Shadowed Loyalty by Roseanna M. WhiteMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
People were never just their sins.
Fans of Roseanna M White will fined this book different than what they are familiar with, however, it is just as good, entertaining and impactful.
Readers who prefers character growth books, will love this one. The growth of the main female lead was evident through this book, and where she started out as this naïve and bit spoiled girl in the beginning, she ended as a strong, insightful women who found her way to true love and God's light in her world of darkness.
Lorenzo - now, if you love dashing gentlemen who loves unconditionally, but also has and owns up to his own faults, you will love Enzo. I loved his solid faith and how he was the perfect example of what it means to "Love the sinner, not the sin".
forgiveness isn’t a ticket you buy, a one-time thing bought and paid for. Forgiveness is the train you choose to ride through life’s journey. You have to stay on it, even though sometimes you don’t know where it’s taking you. You have to trust it to protect you from the elements that rage outside—and inside.
There was love triangles, love interests, murder, action and some very lost characters, all which added to the mystique and danger of the Mafia world, but the author did a great job of shining God's light through it all.
Definitely worth a read for fans of this author.
I would have loved an epilogue though.

About the book:
Sabina Mancari never questioned her life as the daughter of Chicago’s leading mob boss until bullets tear apart her world and the man she thought she loved turned out to be an undercover Prohibition agent. Now she sees how ugly the underworld can be. Ambushes, bribes, murder, prostitution—she thought her beloved Papa was above all that, but clearly he isn’t. What does that mean, though, for her and their family? Maybe Lorenzo, the fiancé who has barely paid her any attention in the last two years, has the right idea by planning to escape their world.
All his life, Lorenzo’s family assumed he would join the Church, but he has different ideas—marrying Sabina and pursuing a career in the law. But despite his morals, he knows at the core he isn’t so unlike his father and brothers, which has always terrified him. Has he, in trying to protect Sabina from his flaws, in fact harmed her? It sure seems that way when he realizes he all but forced her into the arms of the Prohibition Agent now bent on tearing her family apart at all costs. But how can they rebuild what has so long been neglected…and do it in the shadow of the dark empire of the Mafia?
Shadowed Loyalty, set amid the glitz and scandal of the Roaring Twenties, examines what love really means and how we draw lines between family and our own convictions, especially when following the one could mean losing the other.
