Lucien has taken over as head of the family business with his lover Peter by his side.
Devil was born around the same time as Angelo so although he’s a cousin, he’s like close family as well.
Alas, it’s too far from here so I had to simply enjoy reading about all those carbs. Man, my mouth was watering at all the Italian treats. Or in this case a cup of flour as there is serious baking involved. Anything that glorifies violence and criminal behavior has to be taken with a grain of salt, so to speak. So in my mind, this is a better representation of power dynamics.I’m not always a fan of mob books. In a word, this type of dynamic feels a lot more vibrant and healthy. I'd love to see an alternative storyline where Devil is captured and Joe risks everything to save him (and hold this against Devil in some way later ) ). Like, it's not always going to be a Marchesi brother acting as a tough protector to save his lover's day, and his lover acting as a tender caretaker who fulfills needs (even if his lover enjoyed it), it can be the other way around. Devil/Joe kind of dynamic just opens a lot more possibilities. prevalent (like a certain Netflix show.), and they become predictable very fast. In other novels, the one-sided power dynamic is also. In the series, Cameron and Peter, by the end, enjoyed their submission, so it's all good I guess, but that certainly won't work well on a lot of people if it's real life. A relationship like that usually doesn't work out well and often end up becoming toxic.
This is a novel, so I don't want to bring up too much reality, but you can see in daily life that lots of guys in a relationship, be it a heterosexual or homosexual one in nature, try to pose as the more dominant one, as a facade, because they have a stereotypically masculine image to upkeep. I enjoyed reading the other two Marchesi brothers' stories, but what Devil and Joe had is something more - the power is much more balanced, instead of one-sided. Wish theres gonna be a book 2 for Devil/Joe
