Great start to a new series…

This was a great start to a new series. Loved the characters. The story was intense in the best way. I can’t wait for the next installment to come out. Fingers crossed for sooner rather than later because it leaves with quite the cliffhanger and makes you want more.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

And so the plot thickens…

This not-your-typical love triangle continues in this second book of the series with some very intense moments. Thoughts and feelings between the characters are growing and shifting right alongside their overall dynamic. Throw in some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming with a massive cliffhanger and now I’m ready to read the next one to see where everything goes. It will be interesting to see just how much the relationships between these three characters will evolve.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Romantic Conclusion…

It was great to see how these characters grew and evolved in their interesting dynamic. There were some twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting. I honestly wasn’t sure how things were going to go there at a few points but I’m glad they got their happy ending.

Her hero and her keeper…

Evelyn finds herself kidnapped and held as bait to draw in her fiancé. When Massimo walks in to find her being abused, he doesn’t care that she belongs to his enemy. He just see’s an innocent woman being mistreated. Of course he quickly takes care of the situation, even if it means it puts him at risk of facing serious consequences.

He volunteers to handle the situation of her dirty DEA agent. Of course he also likes the perk of being able to keep his eyes on Evelyn in the process. Along the way he’s in the position to be her hero over and over until he realizes it’s best to keep her with him for her own protection.

As Evelyn faces the truth of who her fiancé really is, she’s also forced to face the growing feelings for her hero turned keeper. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. Massimo loves being her protector and wants to provide her with everything she could ever want or need. He’s determined to show her that she’s better off with him.

Be prepared for a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more. I can’t wait for book two to come out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Forced proximity mafia romance…

Book two picks up immediately where book one’s cliffhanger left us. Evelyn’s ex may not care enough to protect her when she’s threatened but he’s clearly not ready to let her go either. But with Massimo as her constant dark protector, he’s there to take on any challenge that threatens her.

Throughout the book their relationship builds and grows. Massimo is out to prove that he can provide for her every need while protecting and pleasing her. Evelyn continues to be pulled between her growing feelings for him and her distain for his violent criminal lifestyle. And her doubts might just put herself in more danger.

Their story isn’t over yet so get ready for a new intense cliffhanger to set you up for the third and final book.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mafia HEA…

The final book in this trilogy picks up with Massimo taking care of Evelyn after what happened in the club at the end of book two. He worries that he’s putting her in more danger because of his own needs to keep her with him. But Evelyn has already made up her mind that her true place is at his side.

They make the trip back to his home to start their life together. But both of them have unresolved threats from their past that present a danger to their happiness. As they work through figuring out how to make their new relationship into something real, they also have to face those threats in order to make it possible.

This was great way to wrap up their story. It’s short but covers all the bases. There’s even a little bit to make you wonder what might be next in this world.
