Totally Booked UK Review: Ten years ago, Charlotte headed home after spending the night with Gabe. At 18, she’d given her virginity to a man who was ten years older than her but had dated for two years. Arriving home to find her family being held at gunpoint, her father owes money to mobsters following the collapse of his business. Killing her brothers and her grandmother, Antonio decides to take Charlotte as payment for the debt. Taken to Italy, Charlotte spends the next ten years ‘paying off the debt’ servicing the men who pay her husband, Antonio, for time with her.
Gabe tried everything he could to get Charlotte back, but even as a Chicago mobster, there were times when his hands were tied. Not that this has led to him forgetting about the love of his life. Sharing the same birthday always stirs up memories and feelings of loss for him. Utilising the Dark Odyssey club, he co-owns with his brothers and cousins to distract him. One evening, he spots a woman on the floor below staring up at him in a mask. Even if he can’t see her properly, he feels her presence, and he knows it is Charlotte. How can it be her after all this time?
A chance to escape from Italy after her husband is murdered, Charlotte heads home to regain her life. But instead of slipping into the life she once had, she is a different person now and needs to say her goodbyes before living for herself. Gabe coming back into her life was not the plan, but it is clear that their love is still very much there. But her old life hasn’t gone away, with Tobias (her husband’s killer) coming to claim her as his own. With danger at every turn, Charlotte attempts to keep Gabe at arm’s length, but her heart says something different.

Totally Booked UK Review: Mimi (Maria) met the Giordano brothers when she was just four years old. As their fathers completed business together, they would play in the park with their mothers or nannies watching over them. Over the years, she has become a surrogate sister to the five brothers. She held a torch for Gabe from the age of 18 until they crossed the line last year, and things crashed and burned as he was not in the right mindset to be messing around with a long-time family friend.
However, Mimi and Salvatore have been walking the fine line of friendship in the past years. Having always been each other’s baby girl and boy since they were kids, they lean on each other for support and comfort. They spend their time together watching films, playing poker and sleeping naked in the same bed. A few kisses here and there, but never going past the point of no return.
Mimi is still heartbroken from her previous run-in with a Giordano brother. But Salvatore is tired of flirting with the idea that this is just a friendship. He wants more, and he knows that Mimi wants it too, but he needs to give her a push to take a leap of faith.
While Mimi likes working for the Giordano brothers at the Dark Odyssey, she has a long-held dream of opening a restaurant. Something that looks like it is about to happen when she hits a hurdle finally. Turning to her father for help, he turns her down, and Salvatore comes to her rescue, although she’s not thrilled about strings attached. Searching for recipes in her mother’s belongings, she finds an old photo, which opens a can of worms that runs closer to home than she realised. But with Salvatore by her side, she can face anything – right?
