I wasn't 100% sure what I was getting into when I started THE WRATH OF CAIN, but a mixture of mob/mafia and MC was definitely not I was expecting.
Cain and Calla married young, against the wishes of either of their families. Then just as fast as they were married, Cain does the unthinkable and Calla runs off to Canada. In that time, Calla has gone through college to get her law degree and failed at trying to forget Cain and move on. When she finally decides its time, her entire world gets turned upside down.
There was a lot that happened in this book, outside of the relationship issues Cain and Calla have. There's the truth about why Cain did what he did, how he became the president of an MC. Who and what her parents really are and some other members of the MC. It's a lot to take in. But at it's core, the story is about Cain and Calla, having that second chance to get their relationship right. They got it wrong more often than not, but if you saw past Cain's a-holish attitude and Calla's naivety, you knew these two somehow had to fight through to their HEA.
I was intrigued enough with the mob/mafia storyline that I'm very interested in how this series is going to evolve. The MC part seemed to fall by the wayside as the mob/mafia one pushed forward and introduced us to a cast of secondary characters that made me take notice. I want to know what happens with Calla's cousins (good vs. evil). What's the story with her uncle? And just how Calla and Cain end up fitting into the grand scheme of things. I'll definitely be looking for more from this series and this author.
