Romantic suspense features Mafia families, kidnapping and unexpected alliances

Her Rebellion by Quinn Marlowe is a thrilling and captivating addition to the New York Rogues: Rossi series. 

This romantic suspense novel takes readers on a wild ride through the dangerous world of warring Italian crime families in New York.

The story revolves around Dante Rossi, the princess of the Rossi family, who is determined to be a part of her family's business despite their wishes. The Rossi brothers want Dante to stay out of the dangerous world they inhabit and focus on her education. However, Dante's rebellious nature leads her to become involved in a daring rescue mission to save her friend Brooks Peterson from the ongoing war between the Rossis and Brennans versus the Carusos and Massimos.

As the story progresses, the Rossi family hatches a plan to infiltrate their enemies' camp and gather crucial information. The catch is that they need someone who won't be recognized, and Dante is the perfect candidate. This assignment becomes Dante's chance to prove herself and become a true Rossi, but it also puts her life at risk.

Quinn Marlowe has crafted a fast-paced and action-packed plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The tension between the feuding families adds an extra layer of suspense to the story, as the consequences of Dante's actions could have far-reaching effects.

The characters in Her Rebellion are well-developed and relatable. Dante's determination and bravery make her a compelling protagonist, while the Rossi brothers' protective nature adds depth to their familial dynamics. The romance between Dante and Dax, another member of the Rossi family, is filled with passion and intensity, adding an emotional element to the story.

One of the strengths of this novel is Marlowe's ability to create a vivid and immersive setting. The gritty underworld of New York's mafia families is brought to life through detailed descriptions and atmospheric writing. Readers will feel like they are right alongside Dante as she navigates the dangerous streets and hidden alleys of the city.

While Her Rebellion is the sixth book in the New York Rogues: Rossi series, it can be read as a standalone. Marlowe provides enough background information to allow new readers to jump into the story without feeling lost. However, fans of the series will undoubtedly appreciate the continuation of the overarching plotline and the familiar faces that make appearances throughout the book.
