My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an emotional journey I was not prepared for.

Elsa Fitzgerald is one of the most successful real estate agents in New York is dating Anton Kingston but something is missing from this happily ever after.

I don’t want to give too much away but this was an amazing story. I went into this thinking it was going to be another rich guy who falls in love and does whatever he can to keep her from slipping away because of his past but it is not. It is so much more.

I noticed that there are other novels in this series. They look to be standalones but I am excited to see the other couples and what they go through.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, #4)Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book follows Marco and Elena and is another Arranged Mafia Marriage romance. I blew through this book in one day! This book was packed with drama and excitement and the twist at the end OMG I was blown away. I did wish that there was more of a build-up and insight into the romance between Marco and Elena. You knew they were right for each other and had some history and angst but I wanted to fall in love with them and watch it unfold a little more but just like in the previous books from this series there was some good amount of spice and I truly love the world this author has created with these characters and I adore how they all intertwine in each book and I can keep watching new developments from previous book characters roll into this book along with the main characters of this. She does a really great job at incorporating old characters and continuing their story while also introducing a new story with Marco and Elena and I really love that. I look forward to reading book 5!

Wildcat (MetroGen After Hours, #1)Wildcat by Carina Alyce
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book one of the series. I couldn’t put this book down!

Leslie is bold and unapologetic. She gave ballet up for firefighting and definitely feels she should be able to act like one of the guys as she sees fit. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to work hard for every bit of respect. After a one-night stand with Trevor, the last thing she wants or needs is a distraction. Trevor doesn’t want only one night with Leslie. He’s got a lot to focus on with football but he’s determined to get another chance with Leslie. Can they work it out between them or will they be too reluctant to distraction?

I enjoyed these characters. Leslie is tough and is such a great character. I wish I could be more like her!

A five-star read that will surprise at every turn.

Marco and Elena will make your heart pop, the Bratva will make your heart sink and overall, this story will make it sing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is scorching hot and it sucked me right in from the very first page. I absolutely love how Leslie breaks the mold in so many ways. She isn’t afraid to take chances and go after what she wants in her personal life. She also works in a male dominated field and it’s horrifying the things those monsters put her through simply because she is a woman. Trevor is such a sweet, patient man. He doesn’t let her scare him away with all of the walls that she keeps throwing up and he loves to take care of her and show her that it doesn’t mean she’s weak if she leans on him sometimes. This book is full of heat, romance and danger and tackles misogyny. This is a definite must read and I’m so excited to read the next book in this series.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, book 4) by Amy McKinley

Savage Secrets is the fourth book in the Mafia Elite Series and I absolutely loved this book. This is a Romance Suspense that will have you turning the pages while on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what is going to happen next. I’m a huge fan of this author and she continues to amaze me with her attention to detail and her characters are well developed and amazing with a dash of hard edge. If you haven’t already started this series I highly recommend reading it from the beginning you won’t be disappointed. This is Marco and Elena’s story. She’s been on the run for years and up until now she has been hiding well but now she finds herself in a situation where she is in danger and not just about getting caught. She’s pretty much been in love with him for years but of course he believed she died several years back. He’s determined to protect her no matter what. Can their arrangement be her saving grace? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dystopian books are a unique genre to read, and sometimes difficult. This story was anything but. The author gave us such vivid imagery and immense detail to where you were as much in the story as the other characters. Amy is a young teen who is ready and on a mission to find out who her father is in the small town she lives in. As she embarks on this journey she learns that her father is close, and magic is real….and within her. This was a great tale of self discovery and enlightenment. I would pick up another book by this author again!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aly and Luca probably couldn’t be more opposite if they tried, but they mesh well together. Aly wants nothing more than to get away from everything and everyone connected to her name while Luca is doing everything to gain the respect and take the place of his adopted father one day. When Luca finds out that Aly is to be married he kidnaps her from her father’s home. By doing so he has started a war that has been building up for years. His intention has always been to get revenge on Mr. Mancini for killing his two friends when he was a child, but when it comes to Aly he has a bit of a soft spot. Will Luca finally get his revenge or will these two families finally be able to make peace?

I can’t express enough how this book was to read. I don’t recall a Mafia romance where I was sucked in from the very first page. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, #4)Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ever read a book series where each book gets better and better, and you’re enjoying it as it goes, but then you get to one down the line and you’re like THIS. IS. THE. ONE? Well that’s this one. I feel like books 1-3 set up everything for this book perfectly and left me astounded.

Did I expect most of it and guess some of the plots? Of course. But I still NEEDED this book in my life and sat there reading it from beginning to end. I feel like (almost) all the questions and build up where answered. Of course know it’s not all been said and done because this is only book 4 of 7 planned (according to Amazon at the time of this writing), but ugh, I can’t gush enough about this one.

We get Marco and Elena in this book. As with all the others there’s a HEA in terms of the love story, but the build up to there is so great. It’s kind of an enemies to lovers, second chance, forced proximity, story. They knew each other as kids but Marco starts pulling away and being a jerk to Elena in their teens because he knows he cannot have her. Then she’s on the run, hiding who she really is, and Marco steps in to save her. And then says you’re mine. AH!

I enjoyed the continual build up of the mafia world and the ongoing issues inside the Family as well as with the Bratva. Note: I really want my Katya novel next!

Content warning: talk of past abduction and violence against women, human trafficking, child murder, mafia violence, murder, and general mayhem.

Holy Mafia War! Savage Secrets OH EM GEE! Completely love it, it actually might be my favorite book in the series.
Elena is back! Not only is she back but upon her return immediately was married to Marco, her childhood crush. The Russian’s want her dead! Her Mafia family will do anything to keep her safe!
I love the dynamics between Elena and Marco, the chemistry is amazing. I picture the whole movie playing out in my mind as I read.
This series I would recommend over, over, and over again to anyone who likes romance and carnage. lol
Please please please, I beg you check it out, it will not disappoint! But now I need to go before I say too much!
My final note is so much love! I want to go back and start over and reread all 4 straight through!

I can’t get enough of this series! Every book just gets better, and I find more couples like who steal my heart with their stories.
Elena and Marco had a chemistry that steamed off the pages. Elena was no normal heroine being independent, headstrong, and fearless. Assuming a new identity due to issues with the Bratva she is alone on the run, and doing pretty good. When word is sent that they know where she is it becomes a running game… that is until her past shows up in the form of an old friend/crush. Marco Is a mob boss and a man who loved her in the past. Trying to protect her as well as finally be with her they assume a marriage of convenience. From there it’s 2 headstrong individuals trying to navigate their unspoken love and mafia revenge. It’s all the romance, action and suspense you could want and more.

Leslie McClunis is a dedicated Firefighter trying hard to make her way in a male dominated profession made even more difficult when the men she is suppose to work along side and trust, don’t want her there and make their feelings known regularly. This element of the story made me so damn angry!
At a painting class she meets Trevor Hampton, who unknown to her is a defensive end for the Cleveland Browns. Leslie is keen for a one night stand but Trevor very soon decides he wants a whole lot more. Trevor is one determined man and he is out to see that Leslie, his strong independent pocket rocket becomes his and that she succeeds.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the series of time traveling, romance, and the love and heartache that makes up a family. Reading the first two books is highly recommended before reading this one.

The story picks up in the past and the author weaves such a fantastic, realistic view, I feel like I am right there. The most important things of that era are highlighted here — the love and steadfast dedication of family, the wickedness that can turn some men to do evil things, and the struggle they had just to survive. All of your emotions are brought out within the pages of this book.

Then we are brought back to modern day. You don’t think you can take much more of the roller-coaster, but the ride is not yet over. So much more happens to make you feel both love and make you want to weep. The story and characters are riveting, I felt so much for so many of them.

If you are a fan of time travel with romance, adventure, and action, this series is for you.

Wildcat is a fast paced Steamy Firefighter Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I absolutely loved this book and the characters are relatable and fully developed. This is a fairly new author to me but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what other books she has written. This is Leslie and Trevor’s story. She’s a Firefighter and he plays football. These two had one steamy night of passion and her normal is to send them packing. Can one night lead to more? Can they make a relationship work? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This book was so good! This is the one I’ve been waiting for since the second book in this series (Blood Oath) came out! This book had all the action, some drama, some steamy/spicy scenes and some suspense. It was enthralling and a few secrets finally come to light. This is an enemies to lovers, arranged marriage book as well. This can be read as a standalone but it makes much more sense if you read the other 3 books before this one. This author never seems to disappoint and now I’m anxiously awaiting book 5 of this series!

3.5 Stars

 

Wildcat is the first book in the MetroGen After Hours series by Carina Alyce. I had not read any of this author’s work before, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect going in. But the blurb read well and intrigued me enough to want to buy a copy to explore. What I found was a great firefighter romance with hot and steamy details as well as emotion, humour, banter, angst, push-pull, tension, suspense, and drama.
Leslie McClunis feels she’s had to work twice as hard as the men in her field and has to prove herself every day. She works hard and plays harder, enjoying her independence. She definitely doesn’t want or need a relationship tying her down. Then she has a one-night-stand with a hot football star who has other ideas. Will he be the man who finally tames this wildcat? You will have to read the story to find out all the interesting and steamy details for yourself.
This is a very quick and easy read, with just under 200 pages I zipped through the story very quickly. I did enjoy the story as it is but would have loved to read a longer version with even more details and what is here already being more fleshed out.
I also learned that ‘wildcat’ isn’t only a term used to describe our main female character, it is also a football term used to describe a play (offensive)where the ball is snapped to a player other than the quarterback.
And now I will definitely be looking for the rest of this series to read
Happy reading!

Thank you, Carina Alyce!

I was so excited to get Elena and Marco’s story that I opened it up as soon as I could. Each book in this series so far has been an exciting ride. I had nothing but high hopes for this one and it did not let me down. Elena was a strong character, so following her was intriguing. The plot twist kept you wanting to find out the rest. If you have been thinking about getting into Mafia Romance books, then definitely give this series a try! This is the fourth book in a series, so I would recommend reading the first books to get a better understanding of the characters and relationships. However, the story can be followed without reading the previous books.

Overall this was a great read with so many twists and turns. I believe this may just be my favorite of the series so far. It can be read as a standalone but I suggest reading from the beginning.

Leslie is a firefighter and Trevor is a football player, both of them had no intentions of having a relationship. But….after a one night stand they both are having a hard time moving on.

Will they both let down their guard and try for something more?

I really loved these characters, Leslie was very independent and was like one of the guys. This is a great start to the new series. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

This is the first book in the MetroGen Downtown series. We meet Trevor and Leslie who have an amazing night of passion that is supposed to be a one-night stand. Leslie is working hard to prove herself as a woman firefighter. Trevor is a football player who isn’t used to being told no. I am a sucker for a strong female lead in any book, and I love Leslie. My partner is a wildland firefighter and I know firsthand that it isn’t an easy job and loving one can be even harder. To be a female and going through the same struggles, I couldn’t even imagine. Can Leslie let down her defenses just a little to let Trevor in? This was a read full of steamy romance that I couldn’t put down.

Such an amazing story of a southern woman facing a secret family past that took place during the Civil War! Loved the diary entries from Laurette and the letters from Robert, I honestly could have read a whole book of just those two. Laurette was such an amazing, strong, brave woman for surviving what she went through and sharing what she knew. I felt a strong connection to her from the moment she was introduced to the story. I wish there would have been more to Rosalie’s story. Great book, very highly recommend.
