For being a book that portrays abuse, kidnapping and other kinds of horrors, I think the representation of the victim was very respectful. I haven't read many books that include these types of themes, but I will say that I liked that the author gave Selina time to properly heal. Obviously, as a dark romance novel, erotica is expected, and I was proceeding with caution because I was afraid that the sex scenes were rushed just for the sake of fulfilling the sex scenes quota. So, I was relieved to see that the author didn't include the sex scenes until the plot was more advanced (around 70%) and Selina had healed, otherwise it wouldn't have felt right. Idk, if I had been a victim of the abuse and the heinous crimes that Selina had to endure, I wouldn't be able to even think about intimacy in the short term. Though a more realistic healing should've taken longer for obvious reasons, I understand that the author had to compromise for the sake of the extension of the book, and also, let's not forget that this is not a personal growth book. Alberto Berlusconi throws the most extravagant parties and he just happens to be great friends with Constantine, sharing mutual tastes.

Changing your surname to that of your partner does not change your marital status (you will both still be single), nor does it change legal rights. Nor does changing from 'Miss' or 'Ms' to 'Mrs' change marital status. It was torture, wanna know why? Because I was reading another book the moment this new one entered my kindle. This is the eighth article in a series of articles about changing your name by deed poll. The next is about name changes on separation, divorce or death of your husband or wife. The previous was about passport applications in a new name. Marriage is expensive. It also gives a couple legal rights and responsibilities. Many couples want to show their commitment to each other without marrying. One way of doing this is for one or both to change their surname to that of the other. This can be done by deed poll.As it’s a masquerade party Nico is able to slip in and move around undetected. But Constantine played safe by sending his son Gino instead. When Nico saw Gino abusing a woman he intervened. Imagine his surprise when he came face to face with a strung out Selina. In the book, it is shown that while Lina is driving car on a highway, Nico fingers Lina and she has an orgasm. You can create a new surname for both of you by combining elements of your old surnames. For example, Mr Smith and Miss Jones might become Mr & Mrs Smones or Mr & Mrs Joth. Longer names tend to work better as they give more options. You will both need to change your name by deed poll, similar to if you were double barrelling them. When to change your name Many more people are changing their name to that of their partner with whom they cohabit. Doing so shows commitment, and can help create a feeling of a closer family unit. Changing your surname can also help children identify as being from a family, when the parents are not married.

You can either change the bridegroom's name before marriage using a deed poll, or change both husband's and wife's names after marriage. I soon come to realize that Selina is nothing like the girl I once fell in love with, but none of that matters.

If you marry abroad, and your certificate is not in English, you will either need to provide a certified translation (which can be expensive) or you can use a deed poll.

Angela Snyder is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. Angela grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania with a passion for reading and writing stories since she was a child. Angela currently lives in an even smaller town in Pennsylvania with her husband and her very spoiled Golden Retriever. In this book we are introduced to Nico & Selina. Nico being the son of Luca & Verona who were introduced in the first book “Keeping my bride”. Nico definitely loves hard, and he had always loved Selina. It actually makes me so emotional to know that I would have the love Nico has for Selina. I loved how caring and soft he was the second Selina was his again. He did everything in his power to make sure Selina felt safe and loved, and he just did an amazing job. He’s definitely my favorite Vitale so far haha. Now Selina, I absolutely love this woman!!! Even after everything she went through she was still this beautiful strong woman who just needed someone. I definitely recommend searching tws before reading because Selina’s story is definitely emotional, and I wish her the best in life. Nico & Selina are 100% soulmates and no one can change my mind, they were heartwarming, had endless love for each other, and overall I think that nothing could ever break them apart. They were always meant for each other. Goodreads Librarians are volunteers who help ensure the accuracy of information about books and authors in the Goodreads' catalog.
