Now I've got to read 365 Days!
THIS DAY by Blanka Lipinska is hands down better than 50 Shades! No joke!
Loved the characters Laura and Mossimo. Their chemistry was so damn hot.
If you're a fan of dark romance, then you will freaking love this book.
I've been falling so in love with "mafia romance" and y'all this one was fire!
I wished I could have stayed reading this book for hours more.
I was completely captivated by the writing, the story, the characters... Everything was on point!
I can't wait to read the first one now!

Atria/Emily Bestler Books,
Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

This Day opens up right where the last book left off, I can appreciate the suspense that I had while waiting for this next installment of the book. We find Laura getting ready for this huge commitment to Massimo, a man she barely knows. So many people are missing the point of this larger than life story, the whole point is that it is unrealistic! Part of the reason I have enjoyed it so much is that it is so exaggerated and dramatic. We follow Laura all over the place as it seems she can never stay in the same place for long. I was glad to see so much more of her best friend Olga in this book, she is one of my favorite characters.

I feel like in this book Massimo and Laura become so much closer, it is nice to see them finally establishing some kind of relationship other than the physical one they so eagerly share. Massimo seems to start listening to what Laura wants and needs, and stops viewing her so much as an acquired property. Laura starts to finally understand the magnitude of her decision to marry Massimo and accept the kind of life he runs. It's not full of romance and feelings, but it is better than we got in the first book.

Something that I find unfair is that a lot of the reviews of this book are so harsh on how it is written, do all of these reviewers realize that the book was translated from another language? There needs to be some slack given on that front, it is unfair to judge it as harshly as you would a book written in English. Some of the expressions will not fit the same that they would if you were reading it in Polish, the actions of the characters should be viewed through the same lense. I read this book and 365 Days with the intention of enjoying some fiction, that is all I feel you should view it as.

This Day is the second book in the 365 Days trilogy by Blanka Lipinska. I found the movies before I discovered the books, so I only had that material. But much like the first book, This Day has many differences from the movie. I wish they would have kept in a lot of the source material. There is so much more in the books. The mafia aspect is one of my favorite things about the story.

Laura and Massimo are happy and in love. Laura is expecting their child, which pushes their wedding up. Olga comes to be a part of the wedding and catches the eye of Dominico, Massimo's younger brother. In the books, Dominico and Massimo are half brothers, sharing the same father. Laura is also introduced to Massimo's brother, Adriano. It's not a big secret like in the movie.

Another thing I liked about This Day, in comparison to the movie, was the fact that Nacho wasn't heavily included in the book. Unlike in the movie, Laura doesn't willingly go with Nacho. He kidnaps her, just like Massimo did a book earlier. However, unlike Massimo, Nacho's working on his father's orders. While he does have some sweet qualities, I'm not a fan of the character's introduction into the book or movie.

I am a fan of Laura and Massimo as a couple. The spice level and connection they both have is unmatched. Massimo eventually comes to Laura's rescue, but a shocking ending puts him in a hard predicament, and you're left wondering what is going to happen next. The cliffhanger was brutal, and I can't wait for the next book to read all about what happens.

Book two in the 365 Days series is just as crazy and filled with drama as the first and I'm so obsessed with this series. Having watched the movies first (2 of 3 movies are on netflix so far) I have an excellent visual aid in my brain to go with these characters and they really casted some beautiful actors to play these roles. There are some major changes from the book to movies but I still really enjoyed the alternate versions of the story.

As Laura and Massimo’s journey continues, there is SO MUCH drama and lots of sex. There are ups and downs, twists and turns and both of them are very intense and passionate. I can’t decide how I feel about Massamo after this book though. If you like mafia romance I’d highly recommend this series, it's very addicting!

An amazing sequel! I still want more, but I loved that it picked up where 365 days ended. I still adore this characters. Their chemistry is off the charts!

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Book two starts off where book one ends. I cannot wait for the third book.

I enjoyed the storyline and all of the characters. There is a lot of sex in this book (which is not surprising if you read the first book.) I am so invested in Laura and Massimo that I yelled at the end of the book. I definitely recommend reading this series!!!

3 1/2 stars

This is the second book in the 365 Days series. There's a great deal packed into this story. In true fashion, the author leaves us with a major cliffhanger at the end which leads the reader to want to read the next book to find out how everything is resolved.

I find even though I don't necessarily think these books are the best written or most inventive, they do have a way of keeping me compulsively reading. I do struggle a bit here and there with the grammar as some things are lost when the books are translated into English. All that said, I'm sure I will feel the need to read the third book to see what other challenges lay ahead of Laura and Massimo.

Thank you to NetGalley for this review copy. I voluntarily chose to read and review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

Yes!!!! I hate that I have to wait for Book 3 in this series

This Day by Blanka Lipinska

2nd book in the series that picks up right where book 1 leaves off.

Laura agrees to marry Massimo.

They also find out that Laura is pregnant.

There is a lot of panic and more kidnapping in this book, I enjoyed it more than book 1.

I can't wait for book 3 to be released in English.

I just reviewed This Day by Blanka Lipinska. #NetGalley

Was a little better than the second book, but I couldn't past what I heard about book 3. Not my type of erotic romance when you decide to completely destroy what readers fell in love with in the first and second books (and I read all types of romance and erotic books).

A great continuation of the first book, fast paced and lots of steamy scenes. It's quite a rollercoaster of events and Massimo is always kept on his toes by Laura. If you're just looking for a fun read and can overlook any problems, then you will enjoy these books. Not everything has to be so serious. It's a fiction romance book for a reason! Looking forward to reading the next book!

If you want something spicy this weekend take a look at #This Day. This is the continuation of her international bestseller# 365 Days-the inspiration behind# Netflix's blockbuster movie. This sequel is perfect for the weekend.....
Thank you for the advance copy,

Book 2 in The 365 Days Mafia Series.

Laura and Massimo are getting married and starting a family. Laura is now apart of the Italian mafia family with constant threats looming everywhere. An erotic romance, thank you @netgalley for the gifted ebook.

A sequel to the Netflix movie book adaptation 365 Days 🎥Will be checking out Netflix🎥

If you enjoy romantic erotica this book is for you…Steam factor: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I didn’t feel a deep emotional connection between Laura and Massimo, maybe if I had read Book 1 this would have been different. That ending though…what a freaking’ cliffhanger…I WILL read Book 3 😫

I really enjoyed book 2 in this series and loved the chemistry between the characters. Some of the wording was off to me and I dont know if its because of the language translations or if it was just me not getting what was being said. But it didnt stop me from finishing the book.

Review not left on public sites.

I thought it was a let down compared to the first book. Ended up DNF.

This book was not what I was picturing to happen next in this series. I had read spoilers ahead of the book, but I just was hopeful for a HEA or at least some version of that.

I do love the characters, their passion and chemistry. I, along with a large group of fans of the series, did enjoy most of the book. There are just certain parts, mainly Nacho and I'll leave it at that, that I wasn't a fan of. I love suspense and this book is packed with it. Alongside all the passion this author provides us, but it still just left me feeling unsettled at the end.

I will read book 3 to just find out the conclusion of the story, but I did prefer the 1st book after having read this.

Another great part of the story. This is book two and you need to read book one to understand what is going on with this one. Very well done story.

I had a hard time getting through this one. I loved the first book, but for some reason, this one totally fell flat for me. I couldn't get into the storyline at all...

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sending me an eARC of this book.

I enjoyed the movie and after reading 365 wanted to continue the story.
While I did enjoy both books I do feel somethings were lost in the translation of these books.

There is smut and a decent amount. Skip this series if your not a fan. I enjoy a good smut scene and it was about 70% of this book.

I really wanted to love this book, however, I feel like it didn't translate well. The dialog is too abruptly and choppy. I love the genre so I had very high hopes for it!

OOoooohhh this was spicy! I love a spicy romance with great scenes and this was one of them. It was a great sequel to 365 Days.
