I love this author’s work. Her books are amazing and you aren’t able to put them down until you have finished them from beginning to end. And this box set is no exception. All of the books are phenomenal! I read a book each day from this set. Her writing style is amazing and she has the ability to bring her books to life. You feel like you’re in the action of everything! Im excited to see and read more books from her in the future.

I don’t understand how these books keep getting better & better. Everything single time a new one comes out, sign me up! While there are slight similarities between the books for obvious reasons, each and every book is different. Different situations and life stories. I don’t know how she does it. Literally 🤯 = me. All I truly know is that in previous books we have seen glimpses of Nico & Mia, and we don’t really know who either of them are. Nico we’ve seen a bit more, but I like that they both flourish and develop naturally in this book. I truly hope this isn’t the end of the road! Maybe some sequels or spin offs of the current Chicago families would be nice. However honestly anything Amy McKinley writes will be amazing!

A great story of the underdogs finding their way survive and come up on top! I loved that aspect of this book. It was refreshing! What starts off as a whoopsie, ends up being one of the best decisions Summer & Luc make! It starts their angsty and steamy roller coaster of a ride. In the beginning there’s tons of mistrust and secrets, but with time they see the truth and gain trust. Many curveballs and surprising moments. In the end everything happens to a reason and everything plays out as it should. Summer is welcomed with the wives & family and clicks with them instantly like she meant for that life all along!

What did I think? This was a steaamyyy savage love affair!
Firstly the glossary of who’s who on the first page… chefs kisses! I have not read any of the previous books and was worried I would be lost but luckily wasn’t! I loved that you get both perspectives of the main characters POV. This made it easy to follow, and loved to see how they both were truly feeling. I like that we got to be in both of their heads! This book was filled with hellaaa spicy moments, lotsss and lotsss of plot twists, and roller coaster moments. It had me on the edge of my seat and with the popcorn ready! I could not put this book down to save my life!
Overall a really great read, and I can’t wait to read more in this series!!

This is a great series and to have them in a box set is a bonus. Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite #4) This is one of my favorite genres and I couldn’t get enough, it was over too fast for me. I was on the edge of my seat right from the beginning. I was excited to finally get Elena and Marco’s story. These two have had feelings for each other for years. But of course Elena was in an arranged marriage. But with a twist Elena ends up fleeing. When they learn that Elena is in danger, Marco goes looking for her. Will he be able to keep Elena safe? 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. I love love loved these two, they were perfect for each other in so many ways.
Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #5) Summer meets Luc and has an amazing night with him. She is late to her job the next day, but when she meets her new boss she is shocked. Luc didn’t realize he would see her again so soon. Something happens that causes him to suspect Summer, and he refuses to let her leave his sight. Summer finds herself in the middle of a situation that could blow her secret and put her in grave danger. What will happen when her secret comes out?
We get twists and turns and several secrets. Summer was such a great character, she was strong and exactly what Luc needed in his world. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I love how the wives rallied around Summer and supported her so well. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing.
Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6) Hailey had originally met Trey at a dinner party but something caused him to walk away. We jump ahead and Hailey finds herself in a dangerous predicament. Trey is hired by her step father to find her after she has been taken. Trey finds Hailey and brings her to his home, there is something off about the whole situation and he refuses to let her leave until he figures it out. Having Hailey in his home is making his feelings stir again, there is something about Hailey that is different. The longer they are together the closer they become.
Will Trey be able to help Hailey? Will Trey drop his walls and let Hailey in?
Overall this was a great read. There are several unexpected twists and turns. I loved her best friend but he also got on my list for ghosting her at times. All of the wives were great, I loved how quickly they brought Hailey into their circle.
Rivals (Mafia Elite #7). I really liked Mia and Nico’s story. Mia was a very strong character and when she needed help she went to Nico. Nico is smart and a very dangerous man, he is intrigued by Mia and agrees to help her.
What will happen when her father finds out what she has done? Will Nico be able to protect her?
Overall this was a thrilling edge of your seat read. It felt like there were several stories in one. Several twists and turns and a great cast of secondary characters. The connection between these two grew even hotter as the story went forward. There is so much going on your head will be spinning. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. If you’re looking for a great series to read, 1-click and get started today on this one. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Savage Secrets: When the one love you couldn’t forget comes back from the ”dead” what’s one to do but agree to an arranged marriage to help protect her. Author Amy McKinley does it again. Another action packed mafia romance that keeps you intrigued from start to finish with great world building, fierce and tough females and strong protective males. The more you read of the series, more and more secrets about the families are exposed. Elena and Marco help uncover some in their story along with uncovering their true feelings for one another. I am excited to continue on to book 5. These books are must reads!!
Ruthless Heir: First off, I am a complete sucker for this series. I absolutely love it. I hope the author keeps writing in this world, maybe a spin off or something. Summer running from one mob striaght into the arms of another one but can she trust Luc even thought he’s on still thinks she’s a spy for another company. This installment follows Luc and Summer from their one night stand to lovers. Read this gem to find out what secrets they uncover. Ps I love when i get to see characters from the last books🥰
Collateral Damage: This is the sixth book of the Mafia Elite series. It Follows Trey and Haileys story and an interesting one at that. With him living two lives one as an amazing sweet doctor and the other as a member of the Mafia which he is not all too fond of since it cost him his first love. Now he has to use those connections to save Hailey from her kidnappers but being who he is, he knows there’s more going on than meets the eye. Will he fight the chemistry between them or give in. You have to read to find out and I highly recommend you do.
Rivals: Yesss!! After reading the other 6 books in this series I couldn’t wait for the release of this one. I was so excited to go back into the Mafia world she has created and Amy Mckinley did not disappoint 🥰. Just like all the other books I couldn’t put it down. 😭 I’m extremely sad this is the last one of the Mafia Elite series, but i’m excited to start reading more of Amy McKinley’s other work. 😊🙌♥️

Ever since I read the first book in the Mafia elite series, I’ve been a die hard fan of this author and of these books. Every single book is utterly fantastic, full of action, romance, and adventure. I always recommend these books to pretty much everyone I know. Every time I pick one up, I can’t seem to put it down! This author is very good at making her readers get lost in the book, to the point where if its a day I only meant to read like 30 minutes before bed, before I know it, my husband’s already asleep next to me and it’s two in the morning! This author is honestly a word-smith, weaving words into some of the best books I’ve ever read. I cannot recommend these books enough!

I am always so excited when I discover a book I haven’t read by this author and I don’t think there is a book I’ve ever disliked. I tend to read stand alone series out of order by mistake so the idea of this boxed set was truly appealing. Each book in the Mafia Elite collection is better than the last and I really loved Collateral Damage.
Ruthless Heir I have really grown to be a big fan of this author, or so I thought. It wasn’t until recently that I stumbled across this series. I was happy to learn that even though I picked up several books in, it was easy to follow along the storyline. It read well as a stand-alone. I would be curious to read more from this series and learn more backstory from supporting characters. I felt like the writing is really strong with a fast storyline. Of all things, Summer was my favorite part of this book. She is a strong, likable character. I would definitely recommend this book to others and I look forward to starting this series from the beginning.
Collateral Damage I was really looking forward to reading this book and as of right now, I would call it my favorite in the series. I was really looking forward to read more about Trey, I feel like he is such a multidimensional character with all he’s been through and I have a soft spot for him. I feel like the medical/surgeon aspect has not been done in many (or at least any I’ve read) Mafia novels. As a nurse myself, I’m always drawn to plots or characters involving the medical field. As much as I loved Trey, I feel that Hailey is just as strong and relatable as a character. The book (or series) is a must read. Never short of excitement, strong characters and a stronger plot. I’d strongly recommend this novel.

I personally wish I could give this book 10 stars, I have loved absolutely everything in this series and while this was the fourth installment it did not disappoint. I have now read several things by this author and I am in love, she quickly become one of my top authors and I can’t wait to read more by her. But this mafia romance series is personally my favorite. Once again she brings back our favorite characters, and brings in some amazing new ones. The plot is a crazy emotional roller coaster ride, and what could be better then an enemies to lovers troupe? Elena and Marco have always been attracted to each other, but since Elena is arranged to marry someone else aren’t their hands tied? But their might be a chance for Elena to escape and make a new life for herself, buy what will happen when she succeeds and Marco has to find her before she’s killed? Will Marco be able to save her? Will they get to be together in the end? You’ll have to read this amazing story to find our for yourself. I personally can’t wait for more.
This is the fifth of installment and I incredibly wish that I could give this book more then five stars. Like the previous four installments this book is full of romantic suspense, intrigue, mafia politics, tension, chemistry, and so much more that you will be gripped from page one until the very end. Much like the other books this book’s couple had their issues, but the tension between them was so great that I couldn’t put it down. This book really follows Luc and Summer through their whole relationship but will they finally get the happily ever after they deserve? You’ll have to read this fantastic installment to find out.
Our favorite author has done it again. This is the sixth installment to this wonderful series and just like the previous installments I couldn’t put it down. Full of action, drama, plot twists, and of course romance, this author blows me pit of the water everytime. While I have read this entire series, this book can be read as a standalone. However I must admit that this aeries is so great that why stop at one when you can read the whole series.
Our favorite author has done it again. This amazing novel is the 7th installment in this wonderful series, and per usual I simply could not put it down. While this novel can be read as a stand alone just like the previous six, I would highly recommend reading the whole series because it’s just that amazing. Full of suspense, drama, action, romance, and more this novel is by far one of the best books I have read all year. So whether you’re looking for a great new mafia romance or your looking for a great new series, make sure you read this book next.

The author has hit it out of the park with this continued series. I can not get enough of this tight knit group of Italian mafia family friends. Elena has been in hiding for so long. At the end of the last book, her secret came out that she was still alive. The family went nuts. Now things have gotten too dangerous with the Russian mafia that she has to be found. Who will find her first? The Russians or the Italians? This book had so many shocks for Elena that your heart will be pulled in so many directions. If you have read the previous books, this is a must read for sure. The author brings these characters to life in each book, you feel like you would want to be friends and know them. Amazing writing.
Ruthless Heir Book 5
I love this Series. If you have not read it. I highly recommend it. Mafia, murder, love, sex, crime, kidnapping…. What more could you want. You will be drawn into this book from the moment you meet Summer and then not long after Luc. This twisted tale will keep you on pins and needles. I couldn’t put this down. Luc and Summer have a very complicated connection that only deepens as the story continues. I had to look and see if there was a next book. YES, there is. I can’t wait.
Collateral Damage Book 6
Oh my Goodness, I absolutely love this series. In this 5th book, the story revolves around Trey and Hailey. Hailey has always been second best in life and took to hiding in the background as much as possible. Trey, the sauve sexy doctor/ mafia man is trying to get over the death of his coffee shop girlfriend Teressa. Trey and Hailey are thrown together by unforeseen circumstances. This book will keep you reading long into the night or will be read in one day. I could not put it down. All our favourite characters are still in this story which draws you in even more. I hope this series never has to end.
Rivals book 7
Love this series. This book did not disappoint as it gave so much action and suspense right off the first few pages. I was hooked. The story of Nico and Mia. Mai is from the New York Mafia and Nico is an underboss of the Chicago syndicate. When Mia finds her way to Nico, will he take her up on her request for protection? Everything lies in Nico’s hands. Surprise after surprise in this story. You will be glued to every page. I just can’t get enough of these characters and how they intermingle.

If you love a Mafia romance this is the series to read. More from the Chicago Mafia, they believe in family and loyalty and romance. No it’s not always romance as we see it because of the Mafia responsibilities but the men of this family take all of their responsibilities with the highest of values. What more could you hope for from a Mafia series; family, love, loyalty and most of all the Mafia.

This is a awesome collection of mafia men, the ladies they love and what they would to to protect the family! There are four stories in this collection.
Savage Secrets-book 4
Another great installment in this series! The title says it all…it is chock full of secrets. I loved trying to figure them out while reading. This book is an easy, interesting read and I easily wanted to finish it in one day. I struggled putting it down because I was very interested in Elena. She has been a secretish character in most of the series. She is full of crazy skills, charm and smarts. She is my favorite character. Marco is the normal possessive mafia guy, who has his own secrets, and I did like him but Elena and her story took the lead.
Ruthless Heir-book 5
What I loved about this one the most? We got introduced to two completely new characters. In past books we had an inkling of who and what they were about. This one is such a surprise! I zipped right through it! Entertaining, dangerous and full of characters we have come to love!
Collateral Damage-book 6
Another wonderful installment in this series. I did not love it as much as the previous ones simply because Trey isn’t a boss or underboss he is only a brother. So some of the things he did and was privy to in here seemed above his pay grade. I understand that it is a close family but when all the boss’ meet I don’t remember him being there in previous stories. Trey has always come off as a doctor first and it seemed like he only fixed injuries for the Five Families. In this book we get to see another side of him. There is one scene when Trey goes into Protective mode…Me-OW…I loved that scene for two reasons. First I did not think Trey had it in him to go all alpha dominant male and secondly that was so sexy!
Rivals-Book 7
What a Story!! I love reading this series! I can’t get enough! The storyline is fast paced and the characters are smart, sexy and have wonderful chemistry. I enjoyed meeting Mia. She really has that spunk and stamina that surprised me a time or two. The male MC we have jot seen a lot of and I actually grew to like him. He has no plans for love or marriage. I loved watching his turn around as he discovers all consuming love.
This is 820 pages of pure mafia bliss. Sexy and possessive men, strong sassy ladies and all the action you can handle. I highly recommend this series and this book!

The Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume two contains books 4-7. Each book can be read as a stand alone but contains the same cast of characters with each book focusing on a different pairing of main characters. Every book sucks you in from the first page to the last. You will never be disappointed as each book is a different story line with action, plot twists, romance, danger, and well crafted characters that are not carbon copies of one another. Absolutely one of my favorite series and I highly recommend the Mafia Elite series. With this box set you can binge read the following four books.
Savage Secrets, Book 4- Born and raised a Mafia Princess Elena knows that in order to survive she must always be looking over her shoulder. A new life under a new identity that cost her cutting all family ties. It is years before her cover is blown. To stay alive she must return home to the world she ran from. Marco believes the only woman he ever loved is dead, but learns she is very much alive. For how long? Marco must be quicker than the enemies in getting to her or she will truly be dead. Marriage for protection of her life is arranged.
Ruthless Heir Book 5- Luc has worked hard for what he has from the ground up. Becoming the heir to the Brambilla mafia wasn’t something he planned on, but he didn’t shy away from the opportunity once it presented itself. Summer is on the run and trying to survive under the radar. It is with a few drinks that she finds herself with Luc for a one night stand. At least that is how it started. Romance, danger, and the mafia? What could be more tempting to read about.
Collateral Damage Book 6- Surgeon and mafia man Trey La Rosa is the main male lead of this story line. After losing a lover from outside of his criminal world he finds himself hard pressed to be in love with another woman. Hailey daughter of the woman that owns the hospital where Trey works finds herself walking the line of the dark side. Out to get her step father for his misdeeds against her mother and the children’s wing finds herself kidnapped. Working with the hot doctor to follow the missing money eill Hailey find the answers she seeks? How dark and twisted will her world become involving the mafia doctor? Will Trey find his true love and happiness with Hailey?
Rivals Book 7- This book is just as amazing and page turning as the six books that came before it. With every story, including this one, the author manages to captive you with a different scenario of the same mafia world. This is another amazing mafia romance and sports the enemies-to-over trope with the tale of Nico and Mia.
Mia, mafia princess from New York, is in trouble and the person she has chosen for help? Nico la Rosa an underboss of a Chicago mafia family, aka the enemy. Will Nico be able to look past the title of enemy to protect Mia and help her take down her own family?

Savage Secrets Book 4 Elena Caruso left home after she got news she was hunted by the Bratva. Her only choice was to follow what she had learned from her mother. She had been gone 4 years, when she received a text message stating The Bratva knows where she is. Before she can get out she is found and by not only the Bratva but by the one she has always loved. Not knowing Marco is coming to protect her, she fights him and runs for her life. Only after being shot does she slow down. But the danger is right behind her. Who can she trust? Why is she being hunted? Marco La Rosa must find Elena and get her to safety. She is not only in trouble, she is fighting him with all she has. Can Marco convince Elena to trust him? What is Marcos’ real plan? This author again kept me glued to her book. Not only is it well written, it grabs you in the first sentence and you just can’t put it down. I love this series and the characters, Elena is one strong independent woman. The women of this Mafia are just as strong as the men. The fight is real for these characters. When all is read, you will find yourself wanting more. That is what makes this series so entertaining. I recommend you read this series in order, you won’t want to miss any of it. No Spoilers Here!
Ruthless Heir Book 5 Welcome to the Mafia Elite and the 5 families who run it. This is Book 5 and involves Luc Savino and Summer Johansson. After a one night stand, decided by both. This couple’s lives go down a different path. As Summer heads to work the next day to discover she has a new boss. The company she worked for as a sub, has been bought. Her new boss, well you need to read the book to discover who he is. I love this series! The women are just as powerful and their alpha males. The storyline is fast paced and will keep you reading. The rollercoaster you are about to board, will trigger all of your emotions. In the end, like me, you will want the next in this series NOW. This author never disappoints, and I am finding myself drawn to her and her books. Her stories are alway high energy and sure to keep you wanting more. This story is well written and the characters fit the parts they portray. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next in this series. I recommend you read this series in order. Get to know the characters and follow the author along.
Collateral Damage Book 6 Trey La Rosa, hard working Dr. Plenty of looks to keep the woman’s heads turning. He is also a member of the family mafia. While he keeps his job seperate from the family, he has no interest in finding a love interest. He had one but she had died, so he has buried his head in his work. Until….. Hailey Carmichael, never wanted anything but to belong. She lost her sister and father in a car accident, and her mother has turned her back on Hailey. Therefore Hailey is on her own. Until the day she is kidnapped…… That’s all you get from me. No Spoilers! This is one of my favorite authors. You know the kind, where you drop everything to read the next book in the series. She did not disappoint with this one. This story is fast paced and high energy. Just when I thought the worst was over, I was wrong. I fell head over heels in love with this family and their wives. The female characters are strong and independant and the men are hot and steamy, oh and deadly. This is a must read!

Spice, Sex and Secrets. This series has them all!!! The characters are well developed and become your “book friends”. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. The author really takes the time to add in all those little details that make a story a page turner.

I love the Mafia Elite series, following the Five Families. Each book focuses on a couple, and they are action packed. They are a good balance of romance and suspense. The characters are all wonderful, and I wish this was a TV series! Each book is well written enough that it could be a stand alone, but I don’t recommend it. All the characters overlap, and all the books are ah-mazing. So just read them all… for real. The Five Families are all married into each other, as the next generation of Chicago Mafia. The characters are great, and I love that the women are strong, independent women. They have an amazing support system for each other. At the same time, the men have a softer side that shows when around their sisters or wives. I love that the characters are strong and independent on their own, and when together they are even stronger.
Savage Secrets is a very fitting title for the 4th book in the Mafia Elite series. While the book mainly focuses on Elena and Marco, there is added details to the other family members along the way.
Ruthless Heir is the 5th book in the series. I was a little confused at first how the characters fit into the story, as neither seemed to be related. However, it all came together and turned out to be another great addition. There were a couple of parts that made me laugh out loud. The chemistry between Luc and Summer was strong, and I love how they fit into the couples from the Five Families.
Collateral Damage is a great book just like all the others in the series, HIGHLY recommend. This book focuses on Trey and Hailey, alternating point of view. I like that Hailey is a normal girl, not born into the Mafia, yet fits in perfectly into their lifestyle. Trey is not one of the bosses, but still involved, serving as their doctor, and the little brother to the new Boss. He is very sweet and reasonable, understanding Hailey and her feelings, and giving her time to explain disagreements. There were some surprises along the way, with some of the supporting characters (read to see what I mean). I wish there was more closure with Justin, I felt like a lot was left hanging when it came to him. I also hoped for some peace between Hailey and her mom, but still did not take away from the book, just wishful thinking.
Rivals is the latest book in the Mafia Elite series, and it was ah-mazing, just like all the others. This is one of my favorite series and am sad that it is likely coming to an end. Mia is a character I kind of forgot about, as she is part of the New York mafia families. Most of the series focuses on the Chicago Five Families, and Nico is part of that group. Their story is slightly different from the others, in that the main characters didn’t know each other growing up. They meet for the first time when Mia pulls a gun or Nico and soon after, negotiates their marriage. The build of their relationship is a good story, and has a couple twists and turns along the way. I love the bomb dropped toward the end, changing the course of action. There is justice served and everyone gets what they deserve.

Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
This isn’t the first box set I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep readers entertained and keep coming back. Every book in this box set is amazing and I can’t wait for you to enjoy them.
Savage Secrets: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #4)
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s also not the first book in the series that I’ve read. Each Mafia Elite book gets better and better. Max and Lil, Enzo and Sofia, Stephano and Em, and now Marco and Elena.
Marco is the Mafia boss for his family. He’s also the one who is sent to get Elena. He wants her to be his, but she doesn’t know of his feelings for her. Things happen that bring them closer together. The quote I chose for Marco is: “Going somewhere? Chloe James? Don’t think for one second I don’t know you’re Elena. I’d recognize you anywhere, in any disguise. This freckle, the shape of your eyes, the pout of your lips, even the smell of your skin. You can’t hide from me. It doesn’t matter what alias you use. I’ll always find you.”
Elena has been dead for the last four years in order to protect everyone she cares about. So when Marco shows up she runs because she doesn’t know if he wants her dead as well. He takes her back home and she finds that she’s getting married. The quote I chose for Elena is: “I’m not thrilled about it. Who would be? I found out I’m half Russian and related to a Bratva boss. Not exactly my dream evening.”
Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #5)
This is not the first read by the author. This is number five in the Mafia Elite Series. Each gets better and better. You never know what you’re going to get or what to expect.
Summer comes home from work to find her roommate and best friend dead. She knows what she has to do and she runs. She knows her friend’s ex is after her. The quote I chose for Summer is: “Stop bringing that up. It was a mistake and the first time I’d ever been to that bar. I wish I’d never gone.”
Luc is about to get the shock of his life. He’s got a half sister that he doesn’t know about. Will he be able to do what they want him to do? The quote I chose for Luc is: “Get John on the phone and make sure the interior designer starts updating this floor first. I want those cubicles gone. And find out more about the executive assistant I have. I discovered early this morning that they didn’t disclose Edward’s assistant was on maternity leave and a temp has been working here for three weeks.”
Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #6)
Another fantastic read by the author. Collateral Damage is the sixth book in the Mafia Elite Series. This time it’s Trey’s turn. Only this time she might not die.
Trey might just be getting his second chance at love. Hailey has done nothing wrong and she tugs at his heart. Will Trey be able to save her in time? The quote I chose for Trey is: “Be careful how you talk to me, Allen. You won’t like the repercussions. Make it happen with the board, and I’ll see what I can do about your daughter.”
Hailey goes to meet her dad, only she doesn’t call Allen her dad. She falls for Trey but can’t let it be known as she doesn’t want to get her heart broken. The quote I chose for Hayley is: “So you took on his crisis rather than tell him to shove it? He could have gone to the cops. I don’t understand why you got involved. It seems like this is more of a headache for you.”
Rivals: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #7)
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. So far every single book is amazing in its own way. This book tops them all though. This is the seventh book in the Mafia Elite Series. I really can’t choose my favorite book.
Mia comes from a different side of the mafia. She isn’t sure where to fit in only to find her love in the La Rosa family. She finds that her father isn’t really her father. The quote I chose for Mia is: “I’ve only been here, Chicago, and Grand Cayman. I’m not sure where I would want to go. Maybe Italy? It’s hard to believe I’ve never been there, being Mafia and all.”
Nico was engaged and then stuff happened. Now he’s trying to figure out where to go from here. He meets Mia and knows that he’s got to have her. Then stuff went down and now they’re putting their lives on hold. The quote I chose for Nico is: “My sister urged me to purchase property here even if I wasn’t ready to build. That’s ours. We can build a house whenever you want.”

This boxset contains books 4-7. Book four continues the story of the Mafia Elite. This is Elena and Marco’s story. Elena’s been in hiding but it’s time for her to rediscover her friends and family. With Marco’s help Elena learns many secrets about her past, some including Marco.
This author has given us two more sweet and sexy characters who have their own secrets, their own desires, and their own special way of handling whatever the Mafia life throws their way.
I enjoyed this story; however, I didn’t find Elena the same kind of strength as the past leading female characters, you know, her friends, Sof, Lil, and Em. El is strong in that she survived a life of secret, hidden away from family and friends, she survived many things so her strength shows through in her determination. Marco, however, shows his strength and determination in finding and saving El, more than once and every time she needs him. This author can certain write strong and sexy male characters!
Book 5 which is Ruthless Heir is the next in the reading order and as always, I read this book in one sitting, this author has a way with storytelling that makes me what to read cover to cover. I love her mafia series and this story is no different. The characters, Summer and Luc can handle anything thrown their way. Which is exactly what brings them together. First by chance and then by another chance. This is a stranger to friends to lovers kind of story. And it is pretty perfect.
“We were at a precipice. The lives we lived were over, and our next adventure had only begun.” ~Summer
This is exactly how life moves. From one adventure to the next. Childhood to adulthood. Marriage to children to empty nest. What will be your next adventure be? What adventure will this author bring to Summer and Luc?
Collateral Damage is Book 6 and all I can say is welcome back to the Mafia Elite life! This story is about Hailey and the good doctor, Trey. Even though these two have met before and the timing was off, the spark was ignited within them both. And Fate began to work her magic.
I love how “innocent” Trey seems, like he doesn’t notice all of the nurses trying to be next to him or catch his eye. How sweet he is. He wants to save everyone. He understands he can’t but he sure tries to. Even Hailey needs to be saved.
Hailey will do anything to prove to her family she isn’t a waste, to prove she is worthy. She has a crappy family, a mother who doesn’t know she’s there and a step father who is sneaky and slimy. Hailey didn’t know she needed saving until her plan backfires. It seems the good doctor is ready to save the day.
As with the rest of the series this story should be read in order and while it can be read as a standalone, reading the other books will give you a better feel for the closeness of the family.
Book 7 is called Rivals and if you have been following along with the Mafia Elite series you will know that all of the books are intertwined with the others. The action begins in the very first chapter, so hang on. This author really knows how to get things started:
A tsunami of dread rose, and I balanced precariously on the crest of the giant wave…
Mia is one tough cookie and has been a Mafia princess her entire life. But in the mafia, princess does not mean what you think it means. No birds singing, no rainbows. Mostly death, blood and betrayal.
Nico is a Mafia prince, son of the La Rosa family boss, Robert. His destiny is with the family. Life is not easy when you are in a Mafia family but happiness can be found. Sometimes in the unlikeliest of places.
This story is not for the faint of heart as there is Mafia mischief and sweet sweet revenge.
Over all this series is 5 stars with some stories and characters standing out a little more than the others.

Savage Secrets: I absolutely love Elena and Marco! From Frenemies to Lovers! Even though you can read this book as a standalone, I recommend reading the other books in order before this one. There is vital information about Elena’s starting predicament that may be confusing if you do not know the background information from the other 3 books. After finding that Elena is alive, Marco will not stop until she is his and in his arms. As teenagers, Marco and Elena were always back and forth teasing and punishing for no reason. They both had crushes on each other but kept it a secret, as Elena was promised to marry Enzo. In this book, it tied up several of the sub-plots that go on throughout each book. Marco is the sexy tattooed badass, while Elena has become an independent badass of her own. Her being away from everyone and in hiding for the past 4 years causes several issues with the two main characters, trust being the main problem. As Elena, is not sure who to trust, and Marco is pissed that she left without asking for help. The main Mafia situation in Savage Secrets is focused on the Russians, the Boss Yuri in particular. Very action packed but with lots of romance and love. Definitely cannot wait to read the 5th book in the series.
Ruthless Heir: Ruthless Heir, Book 5 in the Mafia Elite Series throws a huge loop than the other pervious books. At first, I was not sure how I would like it considering it is bringing in two new characters that have not been introduced yet. The love story focus is on Luc and Summer. Luc being Lil’s long lost half brother, who has no idea he has a sister, let alone Mafia. Both Luc and Summer come from hard difficult childhoods, which is one of the things they bond over. The book focuses on Luc’s training to become the new Mafia Boss for the Brambilla Family and the new girl who he has dragged along with him, Summer. She is also on the run from another less powerful Mafia Family, the Amato’s. She keeps her cards close to her in hope that she Five Chicago Families do not turn her over. At first, Summer is there against her will, but slowly everyone, including Luc falls in love with her. As Summer and Luc work together every morning, their love connection grows so beautifully. Summer and Luc both fit excellently into the Five Mafia Families and are a great addition. Amy McKinley does a spectacular job at mixing adventure, mystery, romance and spice. I know I will not be disappointed in book 6!
Collateral Damage: Collateral Damage is book 6 in the Mafia Elite Series. While each book can be a standalone, I highly recommend reading the other books in order before reading this one. Collateral Damage focuses on the love story of Trey La Rosa and a young woman named Hailey Carmichael. Trey has absolutely no time to find a woman as he is in his residence for becoming a surgeon and is also the Mafia’s doctor. Trey recently lost his last girlfriend, and he is not looking to ever lose another person he loves. The two main characters meet at a function and Trey is slowly pulled into helping Hailey. As they continue to work together, his feelings grow enormous for her, and he is not willing to lose her for any reason. Amy McKinley never disappoints, and that is also clear in this book. This series is one of the best series I have read in a long time. There is an excellent mixture of spice, romance, and action. Her details on each man will make your mouth water. In the other books, Trey is on the outskirts, and I am glad that in this book we get a up close and personal look into his life
Rivals: This has taken my favorite spot in the Mafia Elite Series! While you can read this book as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the previous 6 books in the series. The story focus on Nico La Rosa & Mia Tucci.
It immediately sucks you in with an intense scene of Mia (daughter of the Mafia boss Joey, apart of the NY syndicate) being kidnapped by her own step brother, Ricco, and locked away in the rooms down under the Nightclub her family owns (that also holds women captive for sex trafficking). Nico La Rosa, the youngest of the La Rosa’s, a member of the Chicago Italian Mafia and the Five Major Families, isn’t looking for love, as he has very little emotional pull towards anyone that isn’t his family, or his work (major hacker & computer whiz).
His life gets turned upside down when Mia finds him and proposes safety from her family in exchange for marriage and help in taking down the Tucci sex trafficking ring & the family line completely. While Nico is very cautious & weary of alternative motives, he has an intense pull and sensation to help her any way he can.
Will they end up being a loveless marriage, a business contract moreso than anything, or will they fall for each other harder than ether ever expected possible?
Taking down a Mafia family isn’t easy, will they accomplish their goal? If so, at what cost?
Several twists & turns I definitely didn’t see coming. Spice is present and moderate, but definitely enjoyable! I love reading from both of Mia & Nico’s point of view!
Can’t wait until the new series that will follow the lives of the newly introduced NY Mafia family, the Verretti’s

I cannot even begin to say how much I loved this series. To put it into words it’s like Christmas morning everytime a new novel was released in this series. Yes, they are in fact that good.
In this box set we get to follow more strong mafia bosses and the women they can’t control but can’t lose either. These novels are packed full of action, adventure, and romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. I think each one has more twists and turns than a rollercoaster and good on you if you can figure out all the sinister plots before our characters do. These books will suck you in and not let you go until you are done and even when done they’ll keep pulling you back in. Our mafia bosses are not the easiest to trust or to earn their trust and the fact that the females give them each a run for their money is fantastic. It is refreshing to see a book series where the females get as much power as the men through marriage and aren’t the sniveling whiny ladies of rich men that typically grace romance novels.
I feel like I may be rambling now but if I can get you to take a chance and read the novels then it was all worth it. After all sharing my love of reading with others especially when a series of this greatness emerges is a huge goal in my life. Definitely give this series a try but be forewarned once you get started these characters are addicting and will have you coming back for more!

Trey is a surgeon and in the mafia. Naturally, he’s the guy for the job when Hailey gets abducted. As they twist and turn through a botched abduction turned vengeance scheme they must decide how much they’re willing to risk for each other.
Collateral Damage was a great continuation of the La Rosa family series. Less action than others, but great character development. It’s easy to fall in love with Trey. He may be bad bay mafia, but he’s a good guy at the core. Hailey needs something to go right in her life. Now is their time to shine. In the final book of the Mafia Elite series Amy McKinley nailed it again. There is only one brother left, Nico, and he’s too guarded to let love in. He’s perfectly content on his own. ‘Trust no one’ is the mafia mentality, after all. One night he is propositioned, and his life is forever changed. Mia may be the one person to change his stance. Mia and Nico will try to have their worlds meet, but catastrophic collision is equally possible when changing anything with mafia families.
Nico and Mia’s adventure is a page-turner. The characters continue to build from previous books and the story is just as exciting. Rivals is the perfect ending to the Mafia Elite series despite being sad that the series is complete.

I cannot. I just cannot tell you that I have a favorite installment in this series. I have read every single one, and they all made me feel like I was a part of their Mafia Elite clan, getting to know everyone individually and as a unit. This author’s writing style is one of my absolute favorites, and she hits the nail on the head with her character building in each installment and making sure you are able to build that connection with the main characters before things get crazy.
Even if mafia novels aren’t really your thing, these are totally with a read as they incorporate romance, mafia drama, and so much action and love that you’ll fall in love with this series as much as I have. Looking forward to reading more by this author soon. Highly recommend!

These books have the perfect mixture of mafia, romance, funny moments, mystery, and happily ever after. You will fall in love with each character and you will not be disappointed in any of the books. The author has a knack for drawing you in at the very beginning and keeping you invested the whole time.

The whole thing, every book in the series is an amazing read. World building, depth of characters, and “keep you on the edge of your seat” plots!
#4
Finally Elena and Marco!! This is the fourth book and while you can jump in here, you will miss the lead up to these two characters. A lot of background is covered in previous books. So the Mafia is tough and the Mafia sons are even tougher, but these Mafia daughters are no joke. They have not just seen the danger, but lived it. You immediately know when they are strapping weapons to their thigh that things have gotten out of hand before and they learned to be prepared. We know Elena’s name. She was often referred to in the other books but now we get to know her. She was definitely my favorite. Danger, secrets, and loyalties collide. I could not put this book down!
#7 Wow, this plot…it’s just fantastic! I mean we have a mafia princess, a human trafficking ring, and a marriage of convenience. What’s not to love? Mia is taking charge of her life. She decides to get away from her father and the human trafficking, but she knows that will be the ultimate betrayal. She needs protection so decides to go to her family’s rival. She approaches Nico with a proposal of marriage. One that will benefit them both. Nico is the epitome of quiet strength. Their arrangement may be of convenience but their chemistry is undeniable. The author’s grasp on this subject is absolute. She is queen of mafia romance.

This is the last of the books in this amazing series. These books have everything you want, suspense, danger, drama, romance, mafia, and great characters. These books will pull you in and you won’t want to put them down until you’ve read them all. This author weaves such great stories that you feel connected to the characters and become invested in their outcome. I highly recommend this box set.

I have read several books by this author including this entire series and she has yet to disappoint me. I loved everything about each one of these couples for all sorts of different reasons.
You get a little or in some cases a lot of everything that makes an action romance so amazing. Each couple is the focus in their book even the first where we are meeting this group.
Savage Secrets: Marco & Elena like most of the couples have known each other most of if not all of their lives. But of course nothing is normal in for them. So much happens and secrets are revealed
Ruthless Heir: Luc & Summer were a bonus book in my opinion. Luc had no idea the family blood lines led to Chicago and the families who run the city. What started as a one night stand is so much more. More secrets are revealed.
Collateral Damage: Trey is the handsome Dr who doesn’t want to get closer to anyone since the loss of a girlfriend. As you should know by now that isn’t going to stick.
Rivals: Nico is the bridge between two families once he finds his one. It’s never as easy as it seems but wow was this a great read.
The biggest lesson learned after reading this series is you do not want to anger a Mafia Princess or the men who love them in any way, shape or form.

This is a brilliant series and I highly recommend:
Savage Secrets is the 4th book of the series, I have read all the books in this series so far and have nothing but praise for them. In this book we finally meet the elusive Elena, who has been presumed dead for a number of years. When the threat that made her leave initially finds out that she is still alive, boss Marco is sent to retrieve her. When reunited the pair get to know each other again, without a pesky arranged marriage in the way. I really like how strong the female characters are in this series, Elena especially has her own very valuable skill set that she can use to protect those she loves.
Ruthless Heir – I think this was one of my favourites in the series so far. Each book in the series follows a member of one of the main 5 Chicago Mafia families and the nice difference in this book is that Luc doesn’t know he is part of the elite, through the mother he never knew he is the rightful heir to one of the 5 families. A successful businessman in his own right, he is surprised when he is forced to go to Chicago to discover his true heritage, taking his reluctant assistant Summer along with him. Summer is on the run from her past and doesn’t want to get involved with anything to do with the mafia but finds protection in the strangest of situations. I really liked this book, there is lots of action, strong female characters and interesting storylines.
Collateral Damage – In this book Dr Trey La Rosa is tasked with finding the kidnapped stepdaughter of a colleague, but it is not as straight forward as it may seem at first. Trey and Hailey need to work together to find out her stepfathers true intentions. I liked this book but feel it was a bit short, I would have loved more!
Rivals – This book is the story of Nico and Mia. Mia, after escaping from the clutches of her twisted family tracks down Nico for help and in return she will give him the information that he needs to take down her family. I really enjoyed this book, I loved the dynamic between the two main characters but the main thing I really like is how the men in these stories treat the women as equals, fighting side by side rather than being left at home while the guys do all the fighting. The female characters really make this series for me. Cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

This boxset contains the final 4 full length novels in the Mafia Elite Series. These are: Savage Secrets Ruthless Heir Collateral Damage Rivals
This is a fantastic boxset, each book being given a 5 star review by myself. This author is the queen of writing romantic suspense and I could lose myself in these books for hours and hours on end. I know that this boxset is one that I will read several times.
Set among the 5 mafia families in Chicago, we get the stories of the men who lead each family and the women they fall in love with, most of whom also come from among the 5 families.
The men in the mafia elite are serious alpha males who take no crap and their women who are just as stubborn and kick-ass as they are. Marco & Elena, Luc & Summer, Trey & Hailey and Nico and Mia are amazing couples, whose stories are filled with so much drama, intrigue and danger. Added to that is the amazing romance story of each couple and you get a boxset that has absolutely everything.

Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume Two contains the last 4 books in this amazing series. What a bargain and what better way to have all 4 books available to read one straight after the other.
Savage Secrets Book 4 –
I have not read one book from this author that I have not thoroughly loved. I see Amy’s name and must get the book; it really is a no brainer. Her writing is addictive, and I am hooked. This is another explosive story for this wonderful series. The intensity and anticipation are palpable and just explodes of the pages. This author does dark mafia romance suspense like no one else. It is rife with angst and fear, violence and danger, darkness, and secrets, and lies. The complex threads that Amy weaves her stories, and her characters keeps you coming back for more. You will be riveted to the pages and find that hours have passed by the time you manage to pull yourself away.
She thought she had more time but now she is once again in the fight for her life.
Ruthless Heir Book 5 –
I am in love with this mafia romance series. Amy just keeps surprising me and when I think she can’t do any better she does. She always ups the ante with each book. You need to read the books in order, or you are missing out on sooooooooo much. This book has it all making it a great romantic suspense story, with plenty of action and danger, violence and intrigue, murder and drama, secrets and lies, and let’s not forget the amazing sizzle factor and off the chart’s chemistry. I almost feel like I have run a marathon after reading this as. There are surprises around every corner, tension runs high, and the suspense is palpable. This is Luc and Summer’s story, and they are great characters. They are complex and fully developed and oh so loveable. I am not going to share anything because Amy’s gems need to be discovered all on their own.
Collateral Damage Book 6 –
I jumped for joy when I saw this next book in the Mafia Elite series and made sure to snatch it up immediately. Amy is one of my fav authors and there are not many books of hers that I have not read. I love her writing and she never lets me down. It is dark and gripping, intense and enthralling, suspenseful and thrilling, steamy and exciting. I really enjoy the unpredictability of not knowing what comes next, of always being on my toes and it is never what I expect. Still reeling from a loss so deep Trey was not in a good place when they crossed paths. Now she is in danger. He knows he can’t leave her there; he has to help her but in doing so puts him in danger to. Make sure you start this series from the beginning now: you won’t be disappointed.
Rivals Book 7 –
Nobody does a Mafia romance suspense like Amy does. It’s a no-brainer when I see Amy has a new book. Click and grab and I lose myself in her dark and delicious stories. Rivals is the seventh book in this amazing series. Make sure you start at book one and work your way through. Amy’s writing is captivating, engrossing, and intriguing. This gripping new book has revenge, action, suspense and thrills from beginning to end. It is full of drama, violence, mystery, intrigue, danger, twists and plenty of heart pounding palpable moments. I was on the edge of my seat the whilst devouring page after page. I needed to know what was happening. He is brutal, deliciously dark, and broken with an impenetrable heart. She is the enemy. She is sleek and sexy with a body that is seductive sin. Together they are explosive and positively sinful.
You never go wrong when reading a book in this Mafia Elite series written by Amy.
