Perfectly Imperfect: Mafia Legacy picks up with the next generation of characters from Neva Altaj’s original Perfectly Imperfect series. The first book, Beautiful Beast, is a Beauty and the Beast retelling that follows Rafael, a scarred mafia boss, and Vasilisa, a younger woman who is pulled into his world. It features an age gap romance with forced proximity, and like all of Altaj’s books, it guarantees a happily ever after.
The Legacy series carries forward the same tone and tropes that made the original popular: possessive heroes, strong heroines, and high-stakes mafia settings. The younger generation has its own problems to deal with, but the family connections to the original series add extra depth for longtime readers.
