No Way Out (Mafia Elite, book 1) by Amy McKinley – Review by Alexandria Richard

No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 rounded up.

While this novel focuses on the mafia crime aspect, with just a slice of dark romance, I enjoyed the tease of if Liliana and Max would actually get together or not. I appreciate that Ms. McKinley focused on building the relationship and trust between them rather than on how quick they could be pushed together.

The copious bad guys in this novel threw me at first. It seemed that Liliana and Max we’re against the world, fighting against multiple mafia bosses at the same time, but I enjoyed how it came to a conclusion. The reasons for things are explained and there is a HEA.

3.5 rounded up for the following: This book started off slow, but gained momentum as it went on. I didn’t really believe the insta-lust that occurred for Liliana, but it was redeemed as their relationship grew and continued. I also wasn’t the biggest fan of the writing style at the beginning, but it got much better as it went along.
