- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018As I read the final pages of Aleatha Romig’s Infidelity series, it occurred to me just how much I had fallen in love with one of the secondary characters over the course of five novels. His name is Oren Demetri, and what I learned about Oren in the Infidelity series is only the tip of the iceberg! Respect is a spinoff novel of the Infidelity series. It can either be read before or after you read the series, OR it can be read as a novel standing by itself. It’s an epic tale of love that is both courageous and bittersweet.
During his time as a student at NYU, Oren falls in love with Angelina. But when he learns her last name is Costello, Oren walks away. When their paths cross five and a half years later in Manhattan, Oren realizes that he’s given a second chance. He’s never forgotten Angelina; the feelings are still there. No matter who her family is, he decides she’s absolutely worth the risk. From the moment Oren asks Carmine Costello for permission to marry his niece, he never looks back.
Aleatha Romig thoroughly fleshed out Oren’s character. He’s multi-dimensional, flawed, and one of the more complex characters that I’ve run across in a contemporary setting. When he marries Angelina, he accepts a lifelong obligation to the Costello family. Inherently a good human being, Oren struggles between wanting to give Angelina her heart’s desires and the need to protect and keep her safe. His attention is constantly tugged in three different directions: his wife (love and devotion), Demetri Enterprises (drive for professional success), and Uncle Carmine (duty to family).
I’m an old pro at reading novels written by Aleatha Romig. Romig tends to write in layers, thereby creating a great sense of mystery for her readers. She laid excellent groundwork for the plot in Respect. Carmine purposefully shelters Oren from the darker Costello family dealings. Because Respect is narrated from Oren’s first person point-of-view, he’s uncertain about much of what is taking place during a very dangerous time for his family. As a reader, I felt his confusion and fear build while being kept in the dark. Those layers and clues? I was able to look back and see clear indications of what had been amiss when Oren is finally told about events that occurred.
I LOVED so many of the secondary characters in Respect – Carmine, Rose, Silvia, Vincent, and Testa, just to name a few. Having read the Infidelity series, it was intriguing for me to catch a glimpse of Lennox Demetri as both a child and teenager. Seeing the relationship develop between Oren and Lennox helped me gain a better understanding of their relationship later on in life. It gave me a whole different outlook on Oren’s actions during the Infidelity series!
Mafia reads are some of my favorites. It was obvious Romig thoroughly researched the mafia/Cosa Nostra before writing this book. She mixed good research with great creative writing. What resulted is a mafia story with the right tone and characters who feel authentic. Respect is mysterious, suspenseful, and Oren held my interest throughout. I’m delighted to give Respect a 5-star rating. It’s also the first book on my list of 2018 favorites!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2018This was a great read. It’s a tale of love, loss and family loyalty. Oren Demetri is worthy of the respect he earned even though I didn’t like him in the previous book series in the beginning but he redeemed himself in the end. This book tells the story of how his life was shaped and the reason why he and his son had the strained relationship. I admired the strength he had to marry Angelina knowing the type of life he was stepping into. He had his faults during their marriage and I don’t condone it but his love for Angelina was encompassing. I believe if he and his wife had not kept things from his son Lennox, they would have had a better relationship. He was keeping a promise to his wife and I feel she should have been more understanding knowing the type of family she came from and the obligations that came with it. Carmine was a hard man but now I see why he never fully allowed him totally in the family business. It seemed he was trying to protect him. I won’t go any further trying to surmise the story because others already have. These are my highlights that I took from it. The author always takes my mind for a loop ever since I discovered her first book. To this date she is my #1 pick when it comes to her writing style. She takes you to a place that you think you know only to find, you’re going in the wrong direction. Her books are an automatic buy for me and also re-read. Even though I’m a romance freak, this is not a lovey-dovey book. I like mafia stories and you can tell the author did her research. This book was written so true to that lifestyle that it made you feel every emotion. I highly recommend this book and suggest you one click to find out for yourself. Loved, loved it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018Have you read any books by Aleatha Romig? If your answer is no, why not? You should. If your answer is yes, then you will know when I say if I did not know the author of this book when I started reading, I could make a good guess who the author was by Chapter 2. Her books are always captivatingly written, painting you a picture with finesse and knowledge to put you in the story, as if you were sitting right there watching quietly from a corner. The Price of Honor is yet another magnificently written book from this author. It is an epic story of one man's life from young child to adult...the making of a man. It is a spinoff book from the author's Infidelity Series (not about cheating!). The Price of Honor follows Oren Demetri's rise to power as founder and head of Demetri Enterprises, his personal life and his involvement with the New York Mafia via family ties. It is dark, gritty, emotional, complicated and everything one comes to expect from an Aleatha Romig book. You do not have to read The Infidelity Series to read and enjoy The Price of Honor, although having read the series myself, I found the story tie-ins really enjoyable. I personally loved this character in the Infidelity Series and my heart only ached for him more reading The Price of Honor. I will honestly say there were parts of this story that I did not enjoy, but to say more I feel would be spoiling the book for others. If you enjoy Mafia stories, powerful men and insights into their lives, grab The Price of Honor and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved learning about Oren!
I love all of Aleatha's books and I really enjoyed reading about Oren and his life with Angelina. Reading how they met, how they grew, about all of their family and Lennox as a boy. The story had so much depth to it, I learnt alot about the characters and how it all intertwined together. The story had so many emotions in it and many parts that I didn't expect, as Aleatha does so well. I can't recommend this book enough and to those that haven't read the Infidelity series yet I strongly recommend reading that too! Another great book from Aleatha and I can't wait for more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart wrenching.....
I wish in some ways I'd been able to read this before the other books because it leaves you with a thirst for more. I hoped it was going to neatly tie everything together. Instead I'm left with more tears and a wish to know naughty more. Thank you very capturing :-)
