Destined: Giovanni and Zada (True Love Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Vivian Rose Lee (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 515 ratings
Well, we knew when Giovanni and Zada were introduced to us in “A Lover’s Heart” that their relationship would be explosive. The sexy, sassy and feisty FBI Agent meets the suave, cultured and fine Mob Boss who is captivated by her – and she by him.
Zada is accustomed to taking care of herself and others; however, when danger surrounds her personally from unknown sources, her life takes unexpected turns.
Giovanni is accustomed to having to look over his shoulders, but when his underworld alerts him to threats against his Silver Eyes, his beautiful thighs, hell hath no fury like a Mob Boss. No one messes with his empire, and no one messes with the lady he cherishes from afar - the only woman to make him yearn for a normal life.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

The melodramatic novel she created Just To Be Loved led Vivian Rose Lee on the journey of creating stories of life, love, and happily ever after, which opened the door for her to start writing about her favorite subjects, love, and happiness. Her writing has plunged into historical romance, romantic suspense, and contemporary romance. She has created true love in her popular Heart and True Love series, suspense, and happily ever after in the popular Brotherhood series, then created the African American Historical Romance, Embracing Destiny Series. What she thought would be a standalone had become, so far, a four-book series with more to come. She has humbly accepted and has been invited to book signings, reading circles, book clubs, zooms, and podcasts. Vivian lives in Vineland, NJ, where she will continue creating the best stories from her heart and imagination. Her motto is You Keep Reading, and I Will Keep Writing.

    Could not put this book 📚 down! It's a narrative on life, family, good versus bad, jealousy, coveting power, money and people. Love doesn't often arrive in neatly packaged locations. Giovanni and Zada exemplified a rollercoaster of emotions and mature decisions that are painful in the midst of the deep connection they had for one another. Please get this book 📚. You will not regret one moment spent on it! By the way I suspect Zada's twin, Zuri, may have been the one who performed the plastic surgery.... just saying 🤔😉. Well done Vivian Rose Lee. Looking forward to the next book in the series 👍💯.

    This is the second book that I have read by this author and it was a very entertaining ride. The one thing that i like is that this author completes a story in one installment yet still adds enough to bring a reader back. I love the male and female leads in this story - they had me totally invested. Highly recommend this book. So eagerly awaiting Sergio's story and hope that this author introduces new sexy Italians to match up to Gio (from Gio's Bella) and Giovanni.

    Vivian you did not disappoint. I loved Giovanni and Zada's story! It was AWESOME! I thought Zada should have done a "little" hurt to that director, but daddy took care of him. I could not put the story down. I tried to wait a couple of weeks until my vacation. But I just couldn't do it. Thank you for an awesome read!! However you were sooo wrong to leave us hanging ... Can't wait to read the next book coming!!

    Vivian Rose Lee never disappoints. I stumbled upon this author in 2015 while searching Amazon for books to read and boy am I ever glad that I did. I have read everything she has published to date. Giovanni and Zada story was fantastic!!! I read the book in a day and a half... couldn't put it down. So many natural emotions, and I must say half way through the book I was devastated (not going to give anything away), but I was redeemed. This book goes to show that with love anything is possible. I love Ms. Lee's writing style. She gets to the heart of the matter and let you know what is happening without having to read and read and without a lot of repetition. I am in awe of how she gets us to what is really taking place/happening without compromising the story line. Especially love how she keeps the bond and the storyline going with characters from her other books (David, Uri, Xander, Duke, and the gang, Etc.) . Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book. Keep them coming Vivian Rose Lee.

    5.0 out of 5 stars it was fascinating to see the mob boss take the plunge and do the one thing that his father told him not to do and that was to fall in love because love made you vulnerable

    Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. It was definitely a page turner, it was fascinating to see the mob boss take the plunge and do the one thing that his father told him not to do and that was to fall in love because love made you vulnerable. Zada gave up her career to protect the "criminal" that protected her and that she fell in love with no matter how hard the both of them tried to fight it. I never saw that one coming because she was a bad FBI Agent and she loved her job, love conquers all. I love how we got to catch up with the family and how the families from the Heart, Brotherhood, and Found Love Series were tied into Zada and Giovanni's story. Another great read, never disappointed

    Giovanni and Zada's story was a very good read and kept me gripped. The unexpected twist involving Giovanni added a dramatic turn of events that kept me reading. I don't remember reading anything like that before, so I give the author props for originality.

    However, I felt the transition between scenes could have been neater. Also, there were parts where I felt the tense used was a little off. I struggled to keep up with the countless number of characters; there were just too many people to remember! Finally, does the way the book ended mean there's to be a follow up? IDK but I wasn't under the impression there were to be other books. Watch this space, I guess
