My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the “Brothers of Camelot Prequel” and it is NOT a stand-alone. Book 1 MY HIDDEN LIFE should absolutely be read first.

This is book two in the Prequel Trilogy. It’s an interesting way to publish a prequel, using three books to tell this amazing story instead of just one. Part two is where we get to see Alessandra grow from a young princess to a beautiful young woman. Her talent for quick shooting and quicker wit helps move the story along at a good pace.

This book was more emotional than I anticipated. A couple of times it took my breath away and I had to pause to breath, just like she did.

I am so looking forward to reading the final installment in this trilogy and then I can get back to The Camelot Brothers.

Just when I am unsure how the author will surpass the predecessor I am found riveted by the second installment. This book had me in its grips from beginning to end. It’s beautifully written and allowed to feel as though I was walking right beside the main characters throughout. The characters and plot felt very realistic. It delves into an intriguing lifestyle that I find fascinating and scary. Just a beautifully well written book that left me anxious to read the final installment in this prequel. So very good!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Tragic Life is the 2nd book in an amazing series. Necie Navone did an amazing job keeping me hooked all the way through, and directly into the 3rd book. You must read this book following My Hidden Life, which you should do right away because its wonderful. This series of 3 books is a prequel to the Brothers of Camelot series she is also writing. The characters are well written, with great interactions. The story is written mostly in the perspective of Aless, but with an occasional chapter from the supporting characters. It continues her story, as she gets older, following the responsibilities she carries as the Princess of her Family, essentially a Mafia Princess. With this position comes power, fear, respect, money, but Aless would give it all up to be a normal teenage, who could make her own destiny and choose her own partner. I love the balance the book has, with a little bit of longing and dreams, alongside drama and intense scenes, with a small dash of romance. It is a page turner, and kept me hooked all the way through, and into the next book in the series. Highly recommend it.

My Tragic Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel by Necie Navone is the second book in the My Life Series. It just gets better in this book. My Tragic Life has a bit of everything from loyalty, friendship, loss and hope. This book delves into more of “Little One” and you get to see how her life is as a mob princess. You get to see how she grows, her loyalty, her understanding of the family duties and friendship. How will she react when she has to be someone she does like or want to be?

Another great book in the My Life Series. You see the growth of “Little One” in this book and it is nice to see the changes. The writing keeps you engaged and turning the pages as you want to see what happens next. The characters are very believable and well developed. I cannot wait to read the next book in the My Life Series.

I love this series! In this book we get to see more of “Little One” and her life as a mob princess. Her whole life she has been raised to take over the family business and protecting your own. What will happen when a enemy goes after her family and she is forced to be the person she doesn’t want to be? I love her character. She is strong, feisty but is stuck in position she never asked for. I loved her growth so far in this book. A must read and I can’t wait for the third part of her story!

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel (My Life Series Book 1) by Necie Navone is one great start to the series that you don’t want to miss. Necie has a way with her words that ensure you are engrossed in not only the story but you are thoroughly invested in the characters. Being the Princess of the Family is not all it is cracked up to be. Being raised to one day take over a mans world from the day you were born means you see and hear things you would never see in a million years.The story is told in multiple POV’s enriching the story so much more. There is so much drama and action, murder and mayhem as one Family fights another in this cut throat world. Read as one little girl learns what life is like in a world full of violence but also love.

5 Stars

I was so excited to read this book after finishing The Only One, we got a glimpse of Aless at the end of that book but this story starts when she was a young girl, the daughter of the head of a crime family who wants to shape her into the one that takes over the family when she gets older and marries whoever it is her father decides she will marry.

She’s had to learn to defend herself at a very young age and as time goes by she learns a few things about her family and is closest to her Uncle Louie who has swore on his life he will keep her safe. She has been named the princess of the family and as time goes by the sense of family and security starts wavering and she knows she might just have to take her future into her own hands.

I loved learning how her and Grayson met and the connection the two shared…I sincerely love this authors writing style, I enjoyed every word and can not wait to read the next in Aless’s story and see what happens with her future.

I highly recommend this story as well as the first in the Brothers of Camelot, I can already tell this whole series is going to be one that I’ll want to reread in the future.

Loved It!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this author but she keeps on blowing me away. This is a prequel to the Brothers of Camelot series. I love a good coming to age mobster story but this book exceeded all my expectations. You can’t help to fall in love with these characters. I absolutely love the Uncle. I could not put this book down until I was on the last page. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible story.

Alessandra was born as the Princess to the Canzano Family. She is the daughter of a very powerful man. Alessandra is to be the head of the Family when the time comes. She has to train everyday to make sure that she has skills to fight. Her Uncle dedicates his life to love her like his own. They have a bond that can never be broken. Alessandra wants to be a normal girl but she quickly realizes that she is not normal. She has to protect her family and friends. Alessandra is on a trip and she sees a handsome guy. She can’t get him out of her mind. Alessandra learns some family secrets that will change her life. Will Alessandra be able to have a normal life or will she just be her father’s puppet?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all suspense, mystery, and a little bit of romance. You will fall in love with Alessandra right from the start. She is a very strong girl that has a good heart. Alessandra loves her family and friends but she wants to be a normal girl. Her Uncle is my hero. He takes care of her like his own. He makes sure that she gets what she needs because her father is usually absent. This book will give you all of the feels from sadness to joy. I can’t wait to see what happens next to these unforgettable characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Hidden Life is an amazing start to a trilogy that I cant wait to finish. It is a prequel to the Brother of Camelot stories, but the first in the My Life Series by Necie Navone. It is a coming of age story, about Alessandra, the Princess of the Canzano Family. Her family is part of the Italian mob, and her dad decided, when she was just 6 years old, she will be the one to take over as the boss of the Family. Her uncle Louie has dedicated his life to protect her, as well as train her. Due to the target on her back, her father decides she must be trained to protect herself in any situation, regardless of being a child. She thinks it is fun as a young girl, but soon tires of it and wishes for a normal teenage life. These feelings intensify after she meets a boy, who doesn’t know her past or story, and sparks fly.
Navone quickly made a lifelong fan. I read The Only One earlier this year, which will be tied into this series. I enjoyed it, so when I heard about this book being a prequel, I jumped on it, and was blown away. This story has it all, a little bit of drama, romance, fear, devotion, so many strong feelings. It is told mostly from Alessandra’s point of view, with a mix of her uncle’s as well. I highly recommend this book, and cannot wait to see what happens in both series to come.

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel is the first book in The My Life series by Necie Navone. This is the second book I have read by Ms. Navone, and all I can say is keep them coming. I love the action and suspense that grabs you on the very first page. Alessandra is a wonderful character, who learns at a very young age, six, odd the dangers of being brought up as the princess of a crime family. The preparation her father sets for her to become head of the family leaves her well trading but very isolated. The rest of the characters in this book are amazingly detailed and varied. The writing just flows and I was surprised that before I knew it, it was over. Good thing is there is at least two more books in this series. I can’t wait to jump in and find out what Necie has in store for us next.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this series. This is the prequel to the first book in the series but I read it after reading the first book and I felt like it gave me a bigger picture of the Brothers of Camelot. I literally couldn’t get enough of the first book and practically inhaled this one.

Alessandra was born into THE Italian crime family. She was treated like a princess from the minute she was born until her 6th birthday when everything changed in her life. She, then, started training vigorously in combat. This is something she must keep a secret of from the rest of the family. From the outside she looks like the Italian princess but her father has been training her in secret because he has a different path for her to follow.

As she gets old she feels less of a royal and more of a prisoner. She has questions and doubts about everything in her father’s business but has to stay vigilant 24/7 because of the dangers that surround her.

I loved learning about Alessandra and her past. It helped answer questions, but not all (I love the mystery about it). Superb writing and I’m dying to get my hands on the next installment!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel is book one in the My Life series by Necie Navone. This author is one that captivates me more and more. Every book gets better, the characters get more adventurous, and the very essence of each story exhibits more heart and soul. But these stories aren’t for the faint of heart.

Alessandra is a princess of the Canzano family. It is the complete opposite of a normal princesses life. Fraught with crime, violence and bloodshed, Alessandra grows up quickly. She is wise beyond her year, street smart, and can take care of herself if necessary. But in saying that, there is an innocence that is endearing in its simplicity. Necie Nevone paints a girl who has heart, courage and a fierceness that she keeps hidden well, but it is there, nonetheless.

I have become a huge fan of this author, and a little obsessed with Alessandra and her evolving story. I cannot wait to find out what is up next for her. I know it will be a nail biter. 5 stars.

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel is the first book in the My Life Series by Necie Navone. All I can say is wow, what a story.

Alessandra doesn’t have the wonderful privileged life you would think as a Princess. But she is the Princess of a crime family and her Father who is also the head of the family can be a bit stubborn and unwilling to listen to anyone once his mind is set.

  • We get a brief glimpse of Alessandra in the first book of the Brothers of Camelot series. This was a great way to start this spinoff series and I cannot wait to find out what happens next and if she finds her way back to her heart.View all my reviews

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel (My Life Series Book 1) by Necie Navone. I LOVED this book. Its the story of a crime family and their 6 year old daughter Alessandra who is set to be next to lead the family. She tries to live a normal life but its extremely difficult because she can’t share a lot of her life with her friends. At her 6th birthday party she is given the famous headband or crown that she has to wear at family gatherings and at that same party as they are leaving she is shot by the Families number one enemy. After she survives the shooting her Uncle makes it his goal to teach Alessandra to take care of herself. He teaches her to shoot a gun, self defense and to know her surroundings. She excels in most all the while trying to be a normal young girl. As she gets older and draws the attention of boys her life is given a whole other round of complications. Her father is determined to arrange a marriage for her but she is determined to pick her own partner. Its the story of a strong willed young girl trying to change a family set in deep, dark, traditions. I can not wait to read the next book!

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel, by Necie Navone, is the first book in the My Life Series. This coming of age/crime fiction story was well written and an instant page turner. The author delved straight into the story leaving nothing left to chance setting the stage for where we begin and what is potentially to come. I enjoyed the flow of the story and it felt well paced. Alessandra is a complicated character and Necie Navone showcases that as this story progresses. I look forward to seeing what hurdles she encounters in the subsequent stories and what growth she will experience.

The Only One (Brothers of Camelot, #1) by Necie Navone
5 out of 5 stars
The Only One is book one in the Brothers of Camelot series written by Necie Navone and it’s the first book that I have read by this author and it surely won’t be the last. The characters are well written with strong personalities and the banter is awesome. I really enjoyed the story plot with the Camelot fairy tale but it’s modern. I especially loved Mom Gregory and the way she accepted Fitz and mad him a part of the family.
Drake, aka Fitz, was dealt a tragic hand from the beginning. He had to adjust to Pain and rejection but that all melted away when a little girl named Isabella aka Belle with huge brown eyes, strawberry blonde curls and an explosive personality, walked into his new home and his heart.
They were inseparable as kids, she’s was literally ripped from his arms when they where teens. Convincing himself he’s unworthy of her, he closed himself off to all future relationships, refusing to open his heart to anyone else. If only she would come back to him.
Can a man whore whose motto is “One and Done” keep it in his pants long enough to win back the trust of his childhood sweetheart?
Isabella, with her unique personality, returns to her childhood town to start her own business, and prove she doesn’t need her mother, or a man, to feel complete. Thanks to her first love, her father’s betrayal and a slew of bad relationships, she’s locked her heart away, hidden behind her smile and sweet disposition. She’s found peace in her memories of Drake, hoping he’ll finally contact her, or maybe she’ll find the nerve to contact him.
Can their long-lost love be rekindled or do they need a little help from their friends?
I highly recommend this book and cant wait to see what Ms. Navone has in-stored for us next…

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Only One by Necie Navone is an easy read. It was easy to get lost in the pages of the book. Once I started this story, it was an instant hit to me. I am finding that I really do love the romance stories, BUT I need to have a little more to the story like mystery or adventure. Navone does an amazing job in creating believable characters that could be the “neighbor next store”. It was like I was right there in the background of the story watching from above the scene. There was a “brotherhood” of guys who had a hard life and really bonded to one another. Once brother, Drake (aka, Fritz) was dealt a bad hand with regards to family. He one day meets the girl next door, Isabella. They were always together until a situation ripped them apart. Isabella tried to prove that she doesn’t need a man or her mother. Drake has become this male god and really thinks highly of himself. What happens when Drake meets Isabelle will the spark that they had years before come back? Enjoy reading The Only One to find out the answer.

Ive never read a book by this author and after finishing it I can’t give you a reason why other than she must have been hiding from me!
I really enjoyed this book overall, it only had a couple parts where it felt repetitive but it didn’t take away from the story whatsoever.
This revolves around Drake and Bella, and we get dual POV for this, which I LOVE! They were childhood best friends and while Drake made it known to hop beds, Bella was always waiting for him to take the next step with her. Years pass and with a big surprise they’re reunited.

I can’t wait to read more of these Camelot brothers, it seems like such a great group and each with a story to tell.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Only One is book one in the Bothers of Camelot series by Necie Navone. This is a new author for me, an author who is exciting and brings something new and addictive to my bookshelf. It was such a thrill to read and get to know the plethora of remarkable characters i could not help falling in love with. I hung off every word written, rejoiced every triumph, and mourned every loss. In other words, I felt it all! Necie Navone dragged a lot of emotion from me, the biggest being blissful happiness.

Fitz and Bella. What a pair. What a love story. I instantly became bewitched by their story. It was heartwarming, it was hilarious, it was passionate, emotional and deep. Their love began to grow early, and even distance could not extinguish the flame that smouldered between them. My heart was full to bursting, and the more their story evolved, the more I loved them. To be soul mates after so many years apart, and not once did their feelings for each other change, was an unforgettable experience for me. This will be a story I can reread over and over, as a love story like theirs never fails to move me beyond words and crave the next story. This style of writing never ages, as the story of love is eternally craved. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Only One is the first book in the Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone. It appears this is also the first book released. I’m so glad I was able to discover her early. If this first book is any indication I see her quickly becoming quite popular.

Drake Gregory-Fitzpatrick is the hit it and quit it kind of guy. He refuses to open his heart since it still belongs to his first love. He has his childhood band of brothers to spend time with and keep an eye out for one another. This group of twelve guys is an amazingly tight group of and have been for over twenty years.

Bella met Fitz when she was all of four years old. After time away from one another their paths cross only to discover how bumpy that path is.

I loved each one of the guys for different reasons. I think Hawkins is my favorite so far and I can’t wait to read his story but I’m just as excited about the other ten stories.
