This was a free Kindle read of 2019. It was billed as a historical fiction; although I would disagree. It is PERHAPS a historical romance, but that is even stretching the historical sense. This book takes place in Cuba during the 1950's and deals with the lives of those involved with the Mafia. I found it to be fantastical and little is mentioned of history at all. Che does make an appearance for three pages and one sentence about Batista. The writing is rudimentary while the reading was the perfect Castilian accent.

A historical look into Cuba before Castro and Communist. I can remember tales as a youth how the American Mafia control Cuba's nightclubs and casino. Cuba was a playground for the rich and famous. It was a dangerous time in Cuba if you were poor and the majority of the population was.

The story of two lovers who can not be together as one is the wife of a crime boss who forced her into marriage at the age of fourteen. The storyline is predictable but exciting at the same time.
