review 1: Mostly sex. Some good ideas and worth reading, just not a favorite. Not enough showing in the story.This book is one chapter in a story. You need to read all five books to get the complete story. Below is my review for the complete story, not just this chapter.I like the unusual main character Silvio. He’s a gorgeous looking gay guy age 24 – a killer for hire. Stefano is head of a mob/mafia family. He’s young (33). He took over after his father’s death. Stefano is happily married, but he is attracted to Silvio at first sight. I enjoyed the conflict watching Stefano discover his bisexual nature with Silvio. I liked the happy ending in book 5.This book is mostly a lot of intense and lengthy gay guy sex scenes with back-door action and toys. Silvio needs p... moreain during sex. There are also menage sex scenes with men, and one with two men one woman. If that’s your mood it’s probably good. But I skimmed most of those scenes. I like sex scenes in books, but I want a majority story, with a minority sex.The story was lacking operational aesthetic. We didn’t see how things were done, like how someone killed with a knife, the details during the sniper killings, the details about a bomb and how a character was saved from the bomb. None of that was shown. It was just telling after the fact. Silvio was haunted by something with Diego Carbone. I wanted to know details about that. We are told nothing.Minor problems:1. Too many characters had similar names beginning with S. I had to take notes to keep them straight. Stefano, Silvio Spadaro, Sergei, Sebastiano.2. Too many Italian words were not translated for the reader.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length (for five books together): 269 pages. Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: 13 or more. Setting: current day mostly U.S. with some in Italy. Book copyright: 2011-2012. Genre: Crime Suspense, Gay Male Romantic Suspense.
review 2: Just like book 1, very short stories as an excuse to have sex. In part 2 I really didn´t understand how Stefano could have so few bodyguards as one of the heads in a city with a known enemy. Sadly "Dark night" continues only in book 3 of the series in "Dark Lady I" and not with the result I was expecting (the book I´m in right now)... yes, more Silvio-sex. Seems he has to sleep himself through every person on the planet until he finally gets Stefano, most probably after Donata´s death (nope, not a spoiler, just speculating)... or as a threesome.Good background idea, but not my favourite non-con/dub-con series/book. less
