I am the villain of my own story... Jilted by my fiance. A disappointment to my family. Haunted by my childhood traumas. I felt so much all my life that I resolved to feeling nothing at all. Until I met my match. As the most infamous mafioso of the 21st century, Dante Salvatore was madly passionate, unequivocally bad, and entirely too dangerous to know. He was everything I abhorred, yet I found myself representing him in the biggest criminal trial of the decade. I was so focused on winning and achieving the success I deserved that I didn't notice the gorgeous black-eyed man's effect on me until it was too late. My icy heart had been held too close to his flame and now I wouldn't let Dante go down without fighting with everything I had in me. Even if the cost of a new life with him meant the loss of my old life and everything I thought I held dear.

My Review
5 Stars
When Villains Rise by Giana Darling is book Two in the Anti-Heroes in Love Series. This is the story of Elena Lombardi & Dante Salvatore. So, you really need to read the last book 'When Heroes Fall' before starting this one. This book did pick up where we left off in that previous book. I am a sucker for Ms. Darling writing and this was a page turning series for me. Every since the first book Ms. Darling wrote I have been the ultimate fan of her writing, so I do recommend it and of curse this series. I can't wait to read more from her....hopefully soon.
