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

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

I don’t think I will ever get tired of the writing style, nor her ability to completely captivate the reader and this author insisting that they try to read the entirety of her novels in one sitting. I have been knee-deep in this series since it began and can honestly say that each one adds more intensity to it than the last. There were tons of twists and turns during this biting the inside of my cheek adventure. The female main character is sassy, independent, and has put the safety of her family and friends before her own for the last several years, which just shows how loving and caring Elena is. She takes everything in stride, for the most part, and I have to say I probably admire her the most out of all the mafia ‘princesses’ in the group thus far.

We have gotten to know Marco well by now, through the interactions that prior novels have included in their stories, and he has been closed off to the deep feelings that only one woman has ever brought forward in him. Now that she has returned, we get to know a softer, more human side to him, and I’ve got to say, Elena and Marco are end game, if I were to have my way. I do hope there is more to come for the Five Families and will be waiting eagerly to escape again into these action-packed romances. You go, girl, five stars!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a five star read by an author that is definitely in my top 10 authors. I have absolutely loved everything that I have read of hers and this book is another shining example of her fantastic writing. I love reading mafia romance and this book, and the rest of the series, is probably the best mafia romances that I have read.
This book has so much to offer. It’s a mafia romance, it’s enemies to lovers and it includes an arranged marriage. What could possibly go wrong? Writing wise, absolutely nothing, story wise – anything and everything. To begin with Marco has thought that Elena had been killed 4 years previously. Marco also believes that Elena hates him.
What we get is a fantastic story that has you gripped from the very first page. In fact, I was gripped to the thought of Marco and Elena’s story when it was hinted at in previous books and I was hyped up to read their story. This book will take you on an amazing journey filled with death, drama, intrigue and some very hot romance. What else could you possibly need?
I love this story and the group of characters that make up this series. They are all intriguing characters with great stories to tell and I pray that the author keeps this series going. It’s one that I will definitely read again.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 4 in the Mafia Elite series and they just keep getting better and better. I have loved all these stories for the romance, danger and action that is packed into them. The characters are so well written that they are a joy to read about. Even though the Mafia bosses are tough hard men we see the softer side to them when they are with the person they love. This is Marco and Elena.

Marco is the boss of La Rosa family. For years he thinks the love of his life has died but now he knows that’s not true and he will stop at nothing to make her his. However there is a threat from the Russians that want her dead but no one can understand why?

Elena has gone into hiding from the Russians. They murdered her mum and for some reason they won’t stop until she is also taken care of. With this threat now finding her she has to return to the protection of the Mafia family. She has always loved Marco but his attitude towards her has always been hostile so why is he going out of his way to help her now?

This story has so many twists that you are gripped from beginning to end. There are so many secrets that are revealed which shocked me and kept me reading.
Can Marco protect his love from harm? Will the secrets of Elena’s past come between them and when the secrets are revealed what will that mean between the La Rosa family and the Russians?

Secrets are the currency of this world and I just couldn’t anticipate all of the twists and turns. Bullets flying, lovers uniting, and blood-spilled makes this an exciting read! And I LOVE how strong and badass Elena is!! If you like Mafia romances, you HAVE to give this one a try

This is a must-read Mafia series, my favourite to date! This is a series that should be read in order, so if this is the first book your looking at I would go back and start from the beginning. You won’t want to miss anything!!

Just like the first three books this one was action-packed, steamy, detailed, surprising, gripping and obviously complex! I have been waiting (impatiently) for Elena’s story since she was first introduced and I finally got some answers to my burning questions! I love how the author tied everything together making everything click in such a powerful way. This storyline was perfect in every way!!

I would highly recommend this series to anyone looking for their next mafia read!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this author! I can not ever get enough of her books, let alone this amazing, installment in the series really takes flight. I loved the characters we got to read about in this one, I was very excited when i Knew it was to contain a certain character. I was not disappointed in any shape, form, or word!
Danger and passion can go hand in hand, but can darkness be overlooked to be allow yourself what you ache for most?

Elena was one over the books pieces of her were being put together, and if you read the previous ones, you learned something of her that was thought to be otherwise. She brought a lot to the table as a great character and I really loved her and the things hidden her mind and her heart, made a true and good impact on the story and how it progressed! She was brilliant and had her own sense of spunk, which I loved as it made her the person she was.

And Marco, he was a treat I would say! He was a guy that really sought after what he wanted, and would die for those he loved. He had a caring heart, and you could feel his pain in the words as the book started and through out. Both characters were truly undeniably real and a rare thing to read about. I loved these characters and this installment and how it progressed!

The installments just keep sucking me in more and more. I love learning about all the characters and how they all tie in together! I love this author and will recommend her times a million. And this series, my goodness, yes you need to read it if you haven’t read it already. This book alone, really brought on a lot of emotions an suspense! A must read and high recommendation from me. I will not hesitate to say that!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m just going to say Wow!!! This author gives me chills with this series. The action is intense. Because it’s a mafia story there is tragedy, romance, haunting tales from the past, and scary adventures. You can find that scattered throughout the whole story. In this chapter of the series (book 4), we find Marco trying to keep Elena alive. Being a Mafia Princess in hiding isn’t easy. The chemistry is there and will have you smirking and giggling. They are like two little kids. I loved how well they fit together. There are a few challenges they have to through, little sister Sofia is just one of them. Can this arranged marriage survive? Can Elena survive the Bratva? So many questions? They can get through this if the beginning is any indication. I can’t give away all the secrets. Trust me, you need to read the series. It’s worth your time and the money. I would give it more than a 5 if I could. It’s at the top of my favorite list for the year so far.

Savage Secrets is the 4th book in the Mafia Elite series and we finally get the story of Elena, mafia princess who faked death to avoid the Bratva. I have been waiting for her story since we discovered she’s actually alive in the prior books and it does not disappoint. She is under her new identify when Marco arrives to take her home back into the Five Families and fight against those that seek her death. The world she left behind 5 years ago has definitely changed and Elena rediscovers her friendships, her first love and new powers of the families. I really enjoyed the story between Elena and Marco. As always, the friendships among the ladies in this book and series is stellar. This is a quick read full of action and interesting twists. Highly recommend!

This is an author that I have loved from the first book I picked up from her. I never hesitate picking up her books as they are well written and pull you in from the beginning. This book is no different. It is a well written story that brings romance and steam to a new level. This is a suspenseful, romance story that is dark in places and has twists and turns like no other. A fast paced, engaging story where the characters pop and are easily relatable. I enjoy how they bring the story to life on each page by the author’s use of details. This is the fourth book in this series which is just as great as the previous three books. I highly suggest reading the previous books to help your enhancement of not only this series but of this author as well. This is worth the pick up for sure. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Chicago Mafia boss Marco La Rosa thought the only woman he’d ever loved had died years ago. But when her brother approaches him with an arranged marriage contract, he learns that she is very much alive and in danger. Bringing her back within the fold of the Five Families is a second chance he can’t pass up. The only problem is, he has to get to her before their enemies do.
On-the-run Mafia princess Elena Caruso cut all family ties to survive. She knows that the Bratva is on her tail and that someday they’ll find her. When she receives word that her cover’s blown, she attempts to flee. But it isn’t the Russians who get to her first. It’s the boy she’s been in love with for years, who’s now a dangerous and devastatingly handsome man—and she’s running from him too.
As threats quickly close in, her only chance for survival is into the arms of the Mafia boss who once held her heart.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, book 1) by Amy McKinley – Review by Candice Robinson Estes

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who knew that books centered on Mafia families and their lives could be so well written that you can’t help but be drawn in from the very beginning and don’t want to leave at the end? No Way Out is an amazing start to what I am sure will be a series full of intrigue, romance, and situations I am sure only the Mafia could land the characters in. The characters are easy to get attached to, especially Liliana and her friends who have all grown up in the mafia families of Chicago, but also struggle at times to maintain their own humanity and in the background are trying to solve a mystery from their collective past. Max and Liliana come together in a less than ideal way, but the unexpected twists and the suspense, along with action and just enough romance to keep it interesting and believable without being over the top, make this book one that I was unable to put down. The story is told from both Max and Liliana’s perspectives, giving you a deeper understanding of the story as a whole, and more completely drawing you into their world and their individual stories as well as their shared story together. Liliana is Mafia princess who is also a strong, determined woman who is used to looking out for herself. Max is a bodyguard with a mysterious background and a reason to want to protect Liliana. With so many loose ends in the background of this story, I can’t wait to see where this series is heading from here.

I have to say that this one might be my favorite out of the series to date. It follows the fast pace of the first two books in the series. While it is the third book in the series, you can easily read it as a standalone. Stefano and Emiliana….The chemistry was hot as hell. I genuinely enjoyed watching their story play out.

Amy McKinley was a new author for me and she did not disappoint! She hooks you from the beginning and never lets go. This is an incredible mafia romance filled with intrigue, spice, and twists and turns you won’t want to miss. She had me invested in Max and Liliana from the beginning. I love her character development of them individually and together. I’d have to say that Liliana is by far one of my favorite female characters. She is a strong, beautifully independent badass who can definitely handle herself!

I also love how McKinley alternates between Max and Liliana so that the readers are able to see both characters inner thoughts and workings. You aren’t left guessing how either character feels about any situation. She does a great job of moving the plot forward without adding a bunch of extra floof! I cannot wait to read book 2!

I was looking forward to reading this book. It took a bit for me to get into the story but that is to no fault of the author or the story. Enzo and Sofia’s eventually did pull me in. I enjoy a good Friends to lovers book and this book is just that. I loved the way it played out and their relationship evolved from the kids that grew up with each other into accepting the love between them.

Have you read Books 1 and 2? You dont have to, because this is a good standalone but the backstories of everyone blend well into each other if you have already read one and two.
This was action packed and I don’t want to give away spoilers but I will say there are dramatic moments and we all want to see if Em and Stefano wind up together because they have been in love since forever but there’s always arranged marriages in the Mafia family and there is talk of human trafficking so readers beware. There are dope women though who can kick some ass and that’s what we are here for. There is major empowerment in these books. Hard to put down and I am ready for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Are you kidding me??? This book was a whirlwind of emotions. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and I have so many questions I am so happy I already have the next book in the series because I absolutely need to know what happens to this group of people next. I NEED MORE ASAP. I was so engulfed with this book that at one point my boyfriend was like “hey can you stop reading and pay attention to me” I literally couldn’t put this book down it was THAT good. I am so deep into this world that I couldn’t get out even if I wanted to. I feel fear and worry and intense love it makes my own heart swell just reading about the love that these two share. I am excited but also terrified by these characters all while falling in love with each of them.
I do recommend reading the first book in the series as there is a lot to unfold within this Mafia world and the backstory of each character is so intense and deep you just gotta read the books to fully get it all. I have a feeling each book will just get better and better cause I thought I loved the first one but this one I devoured faster than my Christmas cookies after I officially end a diet. There was no stopping myself once I got into it. I may or may not be in love with Enzo myself. The way Mckinley writes these characters there is just no way to not fall in love with them. The men are passionate and strong and overprotective and there is just something so compelling about a man who loves you so hard and will die fighting for you and rescue you in any situation that is just irresistible. And don’t even get me started on these firecrackers of woman in this world. The ladies are strong yet gentle and beautiful. They band together in times of need, fight hard and love harder. I am in awe of these ladies. This series is a must read in my opinion.

O.MG. This book captivated me from the very beginning. I was sucked in so fast it made my head spin. The writing was so beautifully done, descriptive, and flowing that it all played out like a perfect movie in my head. I felt like I was there witnessing everything in real-time. There were so many characters to keep up with but I loved every minute of learning about each new character and seeing how they all fit in to create this absolutely chaotic mafia world.

I haven’t gotten too much into mafia romance before but this series is gonna make me want more of it I can already tell just from this first book.

This book was very much a fast-paced page turner with twists I did not see coming which was nice cause I love a good surprise and they just kept on coming. I felt so many emotions while reading this from fear to rage and worry to even love. This book was so good I adored the way the relationship unfolded so genuinely and perfectly. It is one of those relationships where it is just meant to be no matter how you look at it and I cannot wait to devour the rest of the books in this series. Amy Mckinley has a way of writing intense fight scenes that actually scared me then turning it around and write an equally captivating romance scene that makes me feels all the angst and as if im the one fighting to fall for the sexy mystery Mafia guy. Uhhh this was just so good. If you want fight and fury read this. If you want passion and power read this. If you want true love that you’d go to the ends of the earth fighting for read this. Its got it all.

This author has done it again! Another five-star read from one of my new favourite authors!
Just like the first and second in the series this third, Born in Darkness, has blown my mind and it was an unput-a-downable read. The author knows how to make her writing addictive and keep you wanting more. The history she gives her characters helps to keep you wanting to come back and to continue to read other books in not only this series but also this author’s other books as well. Although this book is part of the series I feel it could be read as a standalone because of the background of the characters given but I would still highly recommend reading the others in the series!
She could write anything, and I would 100% read it! I absolutely cannot wait until the next book is in my hands to read because I will be dropping everything, just like I did with this third in the series, and reading it immediately.

Oh, sweet heavens this book was just as good as the first two which are a must-read for this series. The intensity, fear, love, drama I loved it all. I have loved getting to know more characters in this world Mckinley has created. I had suspicions of who the rat would be and watching everything unfold was thrilling and totally captivating. I was not sure how things would work out I was genuinely nervous reading it all go down. I felt like I was in the middle of this circle of the Mafia Five Families and I ate up every second of it. The forbidden romance in this was so touching yet steamy. The stolen kisses and touches ugh had me weak in the knees and when they finally get together it feels like all is right in this world. This series is making me want to find a Mafia Boss of my own. 5/5 Cannot wait to devour the rest of this series as it releases this year.

Born In Darkness is the third book in the Mafia Elite series and the first book that I have read in this series. Even though I had not read the previous books, I had no problem following along. I liked the strong theme of family and the way the author contrasted the families in the book. There is also a nice portrayal of strong women and friendship. It is a quick read and though I am not usually a fan of alternating character points of view, I found that this book flowed very nicely and I did not at all mind the alternating points of view. If you enjoy forbidden romance and/or mafia-themed books then you should give this book a read.

If you are into Mafia thrillers this book is for you! When I picked up this book I was unaware that it was part of a series but the author gave enough background that this book can be read as a stand-alone book. The five head bosses of Chicago’s mafia have to band together to flush out the rat. Emiliana is the mafia princess who has had to overcome some major PTSD after an incident almost four years ago. Stefano is the son of one of the five heads of the family for the Chicago Italian Mafia who has fallen head over heels in love with the one female he really should stay away from. Emiliana and Stefano can only share a few moments alone with no one finding out. I am a new fan of these thrilling, on the edge of your seat mafia books!

This is the first book that I have read from this author. The story is definitely a “hook, line, and sinker”. I was hooked from the first few chapters. I love how Max and Liliana have their own story lines that are even intertwined. Liliana is one of my favorite characters! She is so strong willed and wants out of her family’s shadows and ploys. Max is absolutely consumed by his revenge and that makes the story so much wilder! This was a great read.
