I love that the Dedication is the same! The amazing world building continues into this installment. And the character building is even better. I really appreciated that now that we know Makayla, the author focused on fleshing out Caz and Tye more. It’s nice to have Makayla actually interacting with her brothers (and of course her friends). I immediately bought the third installment and pre-ordered the fourth. I cannot wait to dive into this wonderful and dangerous world even further!

King – Review by Stephanie Nordling
If you haven’t read the 1st boxset you definitely need to read that with Mafia Elite Boxset Volume 2. There are 7 books total and though you could essentially read them all as standalone, you want to read them in succession. It will help make all the references outside of each books primary couple make more sense. It’s a Italian mafia book, which means the families are all connected. The difference is typically it NY based(fact or fiction) and these books bring to you the 5 families in Chicago who seem to supersede the NY families. If you like action, romance, a slight mystery when asking why something is happening. These books are for you. This author has written 7 wonderful books and this set is books 4-7. The webs that are woven and the tails that are told are soooooooo worth it. She’s definitely one of my favorite authors now after this series!

Breathe Underwater by Anise Storm and Taylor L. Ray packs quite an emotional punch. It is an intriguing second chance romantic suspense- a mafia romance with a bit of a twist and plenty of danger, mystery, suspense, action, chemistry, red-hot sizzle, push-pull, angst, and a complex, layered storyline. I don’t want to go into this story too much, as I don’t want to spoil it for you. I’ll just say that not everything is as it seems, and there’s more going on than first appears. I loved the ‘twist’ to the story- I though that was a great touch and added an extra element of interest to the whole thing, for me. The character’s past history added some angst and emotion to the story as well. And I also loved that there was more than one source of danger- which kept the tension dialed up to high. I hope that the authors are setting things up for a series… hint, hint. As I felt there was ‘room’ here to add more instalments. We will have to wait and see. There was a lot going on here though, with a lot of information being delivered, so at times I did feel like the story bogged down with the ‘info dumps’. Then at other times, the story seemed to be rushed, and skate over things that I though needed more attention. But these issues weren’t enough to detract to much from the story and I look forward to seeing if this is just the groundwork for a new series. Happy Reading,

Wow! Just Wow! Despite the darkness in Breathe Underwater, I absolutely loved it! The authors put together a wonderfully written meaty story that keeps on enraptured till the end. I’m familiar with the one author which is what drew me to this book in the first place. I thoroughly enjoy their work. However the combination of unfamiliar author and familiar was pleasantly surprising. This book has some dark trigger warning themes. Has a brave/strong female lead character. It also has a male lead who is so ingrained in what he’s doing that lines start to cross. So what happens when those two characters were sweet on each other as teens and now 13 years later are back in each other’s lives? Evelyn and Damian were the two that never should fit, but they did and it was a perfect match. Till Evelyn’s dad got involved and upended their lives. Telling lies on both accounts, each thinking they were abandoned by the other. 13 years later they are now forbidden fruit. They know they shouldn’t but can’t resist. Damian tries to warn Evelyn away but she doesn listen. Evelyn knows better but keeps following her heart. Do they stay apart or make it work? Does Damian’s shady/secretive lifestyle get in the way? What about Evelyn’s dad? Trust me when I say if you like either of these authors you are going to want to read this book. If you are not familiar with them, now is your time to discover why they will be your new favorites!

Ray – Review by Beverly Finnie
This is a great boxset! These books and this whole series is awesome. If you enjoyed the first boxset (or even the first book) you should definitely grab this one too. It continues the family stories, but they can be read as standalones as well. But it definitely works best if you start with book one and continue from there. This author never disappoints so if you haven’t checked these out yet you must definitely should!

This book was fun to read with my girls! It was a great read but filled with lessons also. Patience, hard work, dedication, and remembering things will always get better. I have grown to love the bond a good book brings by reading it to my children. This one has a great storyline and illustrations.

Into the Light (Moon Harbor Series Book 3) by Kate McWilliams. This is a great friend to lovers story. Its the 3rd book in the Moon Harbor Series but can be read as a standalone.

What an awesome book to get cozy under the covers and lose yourself in! I enjoyed the lightheartedness and the characters were fun and well thought out! Opposites attract in this cute romance! New author for me and definitely will be looking for more from her for my fall book list! Couldn’t have enjoyed more! It was hard to put down and I ended up reading the whole book in one sitting! if you’re looking for a feel-good warm fuzzy feeling novel, this ones for you!

Part of the My Cowboy Series, this story centers around Hunter and Kennedy. Hunter grew up in a ranchers’ family as well as a legendary bull rider for a father but refuses to settle into the life he’s grown to know and instead pave his own way into playing football. On the other hand, as a young girl, Kennedy loved the game of football and was able to play within a boys league and after some disputes was no longer able to play. As she grew older, she paved her own way onto the platform of sports broadcasting, another predominantly male field. A chance meeting of Hunter and Kennedy will bring out warm feelings but could these feelings lead to harmful consequences. Brooke May establishes such great characters to dominate her stories who are strong willed, focused, driven and in careers that center back to the cowboy way of life. Getting to know these new characters more in depth and seeing where this story takes us into their experiences makes this story such an enjoyable and quick read.

Ashley Pagano is a new author for me and I am soooo happy! She writes so beautifully and gave us a story that you can’t put down until you’re finished. This book held all the mystery and intrigue and I enjoyed the sense of a fighting spirit. It was well put together and the characters absolutely made the book! I was flipping pages, heart racing, and palms sweating more than once! A great book to travel to another world in! It had great balance and was a fun exciting read!!

This story centered around the developing careers and love story of Tori and Cord. Tori, an up and coming bronc rider, following the footsteps of her legenendry father and paving her own way into this competitive and male-dominated scene. Cord, a popular bronc rider traveling across the country to different shows and a popular ladies’ man. Tori is such a determined and focused woman who will not let anything stop her from riding her bronc. But Cord notices her, he is taken aback by her beauty and strong will. Even though she doesn’t give into his charming looks and demeanor, he draws him more into her. Such a quick, pleasurable read getting to know these characters and being immersed into the world of bronc riding. I truly loved seeing the love connection of a man falling for a strong willed woman. He mentions in his thoughts how her beauty as a tomboy and even dressed without makeup and being who she genuinely is makes it hard for them not to try to pursue her.
This is not my normal genre for reading, but the cover looked was intriguing enough to give it a try. I had no idea what to expect from this book, like the saying goes “don’t judge a book by its cover!”. I am glad that I decided to go ahead and indulge into this interesting, entertaining read. The story was short, but was full of adventure, and this is enough to keep you enjoying the story from start to finish. Captain Ravenna is on a mission to rescue her love at any cost, or at least that’s what she thinks she needs to do. This includes teaming up with an untrustworthy alien named Dravos. Dravos is a prisoner that is out on his own mission to find the missing Space Force vessel, searching for freedom. The way their stories connect while searching to accomplish their missions is bound to draw you in. If you are looking for a new sci-fi read with love triangle romance then this is the book to pick up and give a try. Mary Espinoza

Just brilliant! I have put off reading this book due to it being the (possible) last book of the series. I have thoroughly enjoyed every book and this just made reading this one a little bit harder. The author has brought the whole series brilliantly together and the imagery draws the reader into a dystopian world that has so many parallels to our own. I loved seeing the characters grow and how the tribe came together to face adversity time and time again. This instalment has heightened emotions as it focuses on the children. I can not recommend this series enough. A keeper.

This book was different from anything I have read before. The story pulled me into an adventure of magic, heartache, character growth and so much more. This is the first book I have read by this author and I’m glad I gave it a chance. I found myself rooting for Hester as she goes through so much in her life. The further I got in the story the more I got pulled into it. While I’m reading I keep hoping love will win out and Hester can have everything she wants out of life. If you want to know how this turns out, this is a must read. I recommend this book.
A YA book about wishes and dreams and how you have to be careful what you wish for. Bax must realize that wishes can become reality. A darker version of YA fiction full of action that will keep you guessing. Sacrifice for friends and a true coming of age story. Good read to the very end!!
Ava and Cole’s marriage is on the rocks. How can they fix it? In Ava’s mind there is no fixing anything, she wants out and asks for a divorce. Cole on the other hand wants to work things out. He proposes they work together on a fundraiser and then she will get what she wants. However their old feelings start to come back and they are starting to communicate more. Who knew that was the key to a lot of their problems?

This was a good book that kept me up past my very early bedtime, haha. When Gemma’s father passes away under mysterious circumstances she fires up her investigative skills to find who was responsible. What was so secret that he had to die? Dominic Cacciari will do anything to keep Gemma from spilling the secrets of the Freemasons. There are things that should remain secrets from outsiders. But when their intense attraction for one another becomes too much will either party be able to resist?

This is an author that I have enjoyed listening to from the first audible. This is a series that is entertaining and has steamy characters. A series you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed how the narrator was able to pull me into the story. They used different tones to keep the story engaging and had me coming back for more. It is an emotional roller coaster story along with twists and turns that left me wondering what would happen next. I really enjoyed listening to this book and highly recommend it.

I enjoyed reading this romance book. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is the second book in this series and it just keeps getting better and better. I enjoyed how the characters brought the story to life. They pulled me into their story with ease and held my attention to the end. There is great chemistry and growth throughout. A story where love and protection could be blurred together. What happens when those lines are crossed? I really enjoyed how the story had a realistic feel to it and I had no problem picturing myself with the characters. What happens in this story you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is a great box set collection that contains four of the Mafia Elite series books. Each story is well written and has characters that bring the stories to life. They are connectable, engaging and steamy characters that you won’t soon forget. They pull you into their stories from the start and their twists and turns have you coming back for more. This author uses her writing skills to make the stories realistic. I had no problem picturing myself in the story and neither will you. They are fast paced, hard to put down stories that have such great growth and chemistry. This is a great boxset and I highly recommend it

J.L Sullivan crafted a unique story that blurs the lines of reality and fantasy. This book was so easy to read and kept me turning pages to devour more and more. All of the suspense and thrills kept me hooked, as well as the adventure (and genies!) that were in the mix. And as always, this story reinforces to “be careful what you wish for”.
The action continues in this second boxed set about Chicago’s hottest mobsters. Continuing with Marco La Rosa finding out the only woman he ever loved and thought dead is very much alive and hiding out with a contract on her head. The rest of the La Rosa family is featured in this boxed set. These books are action packed, both figuratively and romantically. I always enjoy books by this author. This set is highly recommended.

I just love this series and this book……..was soooooo fantastic. This is book 5 in the series and I highly recommend reading this series in order from the beginning to this final book. The author gave me so much in this story…..romance, danger, action and so much emotion….my heart!!
We fast forward a few years in this book just when you believe life is a bit peaceful, the children are being attacked…..Cam and Freyja must protect them and work together by doing so. Can Cam and Freyja find a way in order to save the children and loved ones?
This book is so packed with emotion……the author truly just had me right from the beginning up until the end. This book is truly a bittersweet end that was so well written.

This book focuses on Master Trentino, a pureblood who always follows the laws the Consulate puts in place and helps enforce them, that is until he sees Angel Mancino, a psychic who was brought up to hate vampires. When Angels life is put in danger by her family’s involvement in the Syndicate Trentino couldn’t care less about what the rules are and the protocol set in place by none other than himself and the other Masters of the Consulate. Brought to his world and living with him proves difficult as their attraction for the other grows stronger and while Trentino wants her as his own. He is nothing if not a gentleman in trying to give Angel the time to come to terms with her new reality and world. But Angel can’t help her feelings for him and despite trying to ignore the feelings that rise to the surface every time he’s around her. They finally no longer deny their feelings in a way that left me breathless and wanting to read even more! The surprises in this book had me not wanting to put it down.

Fantastic Box Set!! I would recommend reading this series in order as the author weaves all the characters into each book….
Savage Secrets Book 4 – I love how the author weaves in each character all the way from the beginning of book one and into this book of Marco and Elena. I feel so invested and part of each “family”. If you love a fantastic mafia romance book with secrets, agenda and some sizzling moments this is for you! Truly recommended and another 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 star book!
Ruthless Heir Book 5 – I love the chemistry between Luc and Summer in this book. I love a strong female character and Summer’s character was totally fantastic! Summer is on the run, trying to escape her roommate’s boyfriend, Ben. Summer ends up fleeing to Chicago, and ends up meeting up with Luc for a night of fun. Luc, whom is a very successful businessman but finds out he is the head of the Brambilla mafia family. Little did Summer know that who her new boss is at her job…ends up being Luc. There are plenty of twist and turns in this story along with secrets and danger. Will Luc protect Summer from what is to come? Definitely read and find out!!
Collateral Damage Book 6 – This story of Trey and Hailey I loved, and I couldn’t put the book down from beginning to end. Trey is not only part of the mafia, he is a brilliant surgeon as well. His thoughts consumed by the death of his girlfriend and feels like no one else can break down his walls, until he meets Hailey. Things get a bit out of control when Hailey is kidnapped and Trey will do anything to get Hailey back. As you read more, there is danger, intrigue, lies, blackmail and all wrapped up into some great twists I did not see coming!
Rivals Book 7 – This book of Nico and Mia is fantastic fantastic fantastic!! Mia…wow….she is tough as nails but what she endured…my heart truly broke in a million pieces between her father using her as a pawn and her step brother Ricco, whom I totally despised. When enough was enough, is bravely flees away from her family. Mia know how bad it is, especially her step brother Ricco. Mia has a purpose…take down her own family.
Nico is quiet, loyal and fierce. He will do everything to protect the “families” no matter what. When Mia seeks NIco out with a proposal….this is where it gets interesting. Mia wants protection from none other than NIco…but what is the cost? Family secrets, bartering..will Nico break down his own walls and protect Mia and help her? Intrigue, deceit, trust but the spark and sizzle that goes along with Nico and Mia was perfect!
This series of books is just fantastic and I cannot get enough. The characters, story line..all of it really grabbed me from beginning to end.

This book was a great but emotional conclusion to the series. The book picks up a year after the events of the previous book and we get to find out where life continues to take Imani, Melody, Lance and the rest of the crew. If you’ve read the previous books, you know that the characters have very eventful lives that include times of happiness and sadness, but no matter what they continue to persevere. This book for me hit close to home with some topics and I cried, but I also smiled and laughed with the characters as they continued to make their marks on me as a reader. I would recommend this book and the entire series for anyone who enjoys stories that are eventful, yet true to life.

Nightfall in Deptford (Crescent Moon Chronicles Book 4) by L.E. Towne – Review by Maryn Belling
“Not all monsters (are) bad, some (are) handsome creatures that listen to your troubles and serve beer”
Welcome to a timeline where things are warped. American readers will slide a side-eye at the revised canonical realities between the text and their history classes – careful where you read this; the trolls might be watching.
Otherwise, bouncing back and forth between London 1593 and contemporary Philadelphia is as seamless as going to the Renaissance Festival. Mr. Marlowe’s attachments to modernity create a decreasing stickiness to his own time – which is good since he’s got that pesky May 30th 1593 thing looming before him.
The underpinnings of the story and its origin legend separate this text from its “competitors” in both the time travel and supernatural (fae) genres. It’s a fun read with endearingly relatable characters. Definitely an author I’ll add to my “yup” stack.
Historical Geek Note: this is NOT a distraction from the book; but in addition to the intentional canonical departures, there’s a significant historical issue with a time-travel book with British settings prior to 1751 and modern-day US settings. Poetic license being as it is, however, we can probably assume that our 16th century literary protagonist and our modern day damsel found a work-around for the wonkiness of the Julian calendar prior to 1752
