{{RELEASE DAY BLITZ & REVIEW}} RESPECT by Aleatha Romig

         

Respect - An Infidelity Stand-alone Novel “The making of a man” Standing at what I believe is the precipice of my life, I, Oren Demetri, was too young to understand that it wasn’t and too old to imagine that it couldn’t be. The already hefty accumulation of my successes and failures, bravery and fears, and rewards and suffering, had brought me to this point. It was hard to contemplate the things I’d done, and yet, in reality I’d only begun to learn the possibilities.   I suppose that’s how it was for me at twenty-nine years of age on the brink of all I’d ever wanted without fully realizing the price I would pay. Yet in that moment, I knew there would be no cost too great or sacrifice I wouldn’t make. I had no idea how far-reaching that moment of self-discovery would be; because as the congregation’s murmurs quieted, bleeding into silence and allowing the thump of my heart to be the only sound I heard, I was a man filled with love and adoration, emotions in stark contrast to those I needed in the world I’d built or the one I was about to enter. Angelina Costello was my dream and now my reality. I’d worked diligently to move beyond the actuality of being a dockworker’s son to becoming a self-made, successful entrepreneur, all in an effort to earn the right to call her my own. I’d overcome servitude to others, collecting their paychecks and lowly praises, to being the one who signed the paychecks and offered the accolades when they were rightfully earned. The world was my oyster and walking toward me on the arm of her uncle was my pearl. I’d found her amongst the empty shells life had offered. There was no need to pry open another possibility. Angelina was all I wanted. Yet my path was uncharted. There was more for me to earn, lose, and willingly give. The top of that list was respect.   This stand-alone novel may be read without reading the Infidelity series. From New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a stand-alone novel based from her beloved Infidelity series. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic romantic thriller will delve into a world where family takes on new meaning and even the inhabitants are suspicious of the next chapter.   Have you been Aleatha'd?

 Angelina Costello was the only woman to ever take my breath away. I couldn’t not speak to her. “I haven’t seen you since NYU.” “I’ve been living overseas, studying history and architecture in Italy.” “Italy! Molto bene. And now you’re back?” I asked. “I am.” “To stay?” “I believe so.” “Perhaps we could see one another,” I proposed, all the while hoping that she would say yes and saying a prayer that she would say no. Her lips curved upward. “I see you now.” “Si, and I would like to see more.” With a glint to her gaze, she said, “I never forgot you. I thought at one time...” Her head tilted innocently as her lip momentarily hid behind her teeth. “Are you sure you aren’t still scared of me?” “Angelina, I’m quite certain that I’m terrified of you.” Her smile grew. “Bene. Then let me give you my number.”     Copyright owned by Romig Works LLC

When I heard that Oren Demetri's story was coming I couldn't contain my excitement.

If you have read the Infidelity series you already know Oren...But do you?

Lets start with the cover...I am in love! I always feel that when reading a book the cover is the very first impression and this was a great one. 

I was hooked from that point, Sophisticated and elegant are words I wold use to describe it.

Now having met Oren before I knew he was Nox's father, and I knew how his story ends but this book takes you deeper. We finally meet the man himself and 

boy was he a treat!

RESPECT takes us on an emotional ride. Following one man through the years of his life. Not all of it is roses and sometimes it's hard to read but there is no stone left upturned when it comes to understanding the enigma that is Oren!!!

Oren was a very passionate man, seeing things as a child but never really knowing there meaning. Strong and demanding he knew when he grew up RESPECT would be the one thing he craved. 

Falling in love with a woman, but not taking the next step...Only to meet her again in the future and finally be a man and make her his.

Loving Angelina was never not an option, what he felt for her was Raw and Passionate. 

However she is a mafia princess and he finds himself living life on the edge of the mob and a Legitimate business he started alone. Loyalties are questioned throughout their story

Their love blossomed and they went on to have a son (Nox). They had good times and bad times.

Oren was a man who made some good and bad choices, but he always owned them whatever the out come. He had to prove himself to be accepted by the Costello family as a worthy husband to Angelina. 

Everything he does is for his wife's happiness and son's freedom. But he can't win everything. Making sacrifices and decisions that see him loosing a bit of himself each time take a toll on all involved.

I was captivated by the writing, every word left me hungry for more. 

One click today to find out if the choices he made will be his downfall or will the finally earn him everything he so strongly desires!!!
