When the Music Ends (The Bellini Series, #1)

By J. Kaye Smith

 Although both wealthy and powerful, Sebastian Bellini, is scarred by a past that haunts him; leaving him angry, lost and living in solitude. When he chooses to share his bed, Sebastian considers the relationship as he would any of his business deals; keeping his frozen heart secured behind the walls he has erected. 
Blinded by her belief that she can change her abusive fiancé, Mia McGuire desperately tries to save Manny from the deadly threats of the mob boss, Arthur Rossini’s henchmen. Prodded by Manny, she gathers what little courage she can before seeking financial help from the rich Bellini. Never suspecting she would be the collateral pawn in the devil’s deal between the handsome billionaire and her fiancé Manny Travaris. 
Thinking he is saving her from the sniveling, no good Travaris, Sebastian soon learns his own lessons in love as his heart succumbs to the beautiful redhead. But fate has other plans for the two lovers and the tragic and violent event will tear them apart, bringing heartbreak and bitter loss to them both. Madly in love with Sebastian, Mia refuses to consider a life without him until he destroys her world and shatters her heart with his ultimate betrayal; leaving her dreams shattered around her feet when he leaves to take up residence in London. The Bellini Series is recommended for readers 18 years and older.

Reviews for When the Music Ends (The Bellini Series, #1)

[J. Kaye Smith · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

By Lucii book-lover Grubb on April 15, 2015

boy oh boy this book is absolutely fabulous. It teases you and makes your heart swell, yet leaves it ringing in pain in various chapters of the book. With Sebastian Bellini a rich and tantalising bachelor, he has a heart of cold hard steel, but when Mia comes along, just a nobody from the bad part of town, his walls tumble down and he opens himself to feeling love and passion on another level.
Mia is a timid mouse, in a violent and withering relaionship, she's finds herself under a rock and in a hard place. When her violent, drug addicted fiance runs up a heavy debt in gambling, he manipulates Mia into getting money in paying off the mafia family. Will Mia be ridden of this horrid relationship? Will her sordid affair with a filthy rich billionaire become something she's only ever dreamed of?
This is a highly recommended book, I really do believe others Will find this book as tragic and heart wrenching as I have. I look forward to reading more in the series.

Aimed at audiences of 18+ with sexual content and violence some fewer may fin offensive
