CIAO BELLA
Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: June 25
How thin is the line between love and hate? Find out in Ciao Bella a brand-new standalone mafia romance from Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.
The Five Families thought the war was over.
They have no idea, I'm the very beginning.
I kidnapped her to prove a point—at knife point, it seemed sharper that way.
See what I did there?
I used the perfect virginal daughter from one of the most powerful Families in the Cosa Nostra to fix the broken pieces, knowing that in the process—I’d spread hers for the world to see.
I would embarrass her, shame her, use her, but I would never touch her… my one and only vow to her father in exchange for his allegiance.
The flowers at our wedding would be extravagant—people would watch it like a celebration, she’d live it as her funeral.
Call me twisted, but I thrive off her hate, I wouldn’t know what to do if I had her heart—I’m not good with pretty things I’m capable of breaking.
I’ll use every single person I can to restore order… to bring about the peace that my Family deserves.
But something sinister lurks in the darkness.
In the end, it may not be just my Family I save but theirs as well.
They say the past comes back to haunt you—that history repeats itself.
Bet they never saw this coming.
After all, when one Family falls—another will rise.
Ciao Bella.

I loved the characters of Bella Abandonato and Ivan De Lange. Bella is the daughter of the one of the OG characters of the Eagle Elite series, Nixon Abandonato. And Ivan has grown up with Bella and their relationship can only be coined as a love/hate relationship. They can’t stand one another but somehow they always end up getting into an argument that eventuates in violence.
Ciao, Bella continues the next generation of Eagle Elite characters and we get to learn more about the cursed De Lange family line. The Five Families tried to cleanse the De Lange family line from existence but left a few key people alive. Ivan, being one of the chosen. Ivan was secretly groomed from a young age under the direction of Junior, Tex’s son. But even being a De Lange didn’t keep Ivan away from Bella.
Bella is feisty, just like all the other incredible heroine characters in this series. She comes across a little as a spoiled princess, but what do you expect being Nixon’s youngest daughter? Now that the kids are at Eagle Elite, it’s time for them to grow up. Ivan and Bella are thrown together as roommates at Eagle Elite to get them to quit fighting all the time and learn how to get along. No one expected for things to take such a quick or drastic turn though.
The plot twists in this book were AMAZING. I loved the character banter and that we get to see the OG characters come back and make an appearance. I truly hope this saga never ends and that RVD keeps building this world. I love all the characters and can’t wait to see what happens next!
Ciao Bella is about Ivan & Bella & its something else entirely. You could cut the animosity between them with a knife! Oh boy!
The Mafia families, the tempers, the frustrations and the secrets all round up for one very intense read!
I wasn’t sure whether to like Ivan at all and Im still not sure he can redeem himself ever. Riling up the OG men is never a good idea but he has reasons. Needless to say as the storyline goes, you are in for a very tumultuous ride and everyone should watch their backs!
The banter, the turmoil & the ending made for an unexpected story about a beauty and a beast!
