Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited for this book to come out, and even more excited to hear it was about Trey. This author has created yet another fantastic story to follow the rest of the Five Families in Chicago. Another riveting novel, filled with twists and turns and a gorgeous finish. Honestly, I think my husband might be a little jealous with how in love I am with the La Rosa family, but what can I say? The Elites are quite addicting!

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite Series Book 4) by Amy McKinley – Review by Helen Dawkins

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

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: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite, #5)Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

No Way Out (Mafia Elite Series Book 1) by Amy McKinley – Review by Helen Dawkins

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

Absolutely Amazing! The author, Amy McKinley, definitely knows how to balance the right amount of action, suspense, and romance. “No Way Out” is focused on the story of Max (Matt) and Lilana. The book is told through both of their POV’s and I absolutely love that we get to know both of their viewpoints. Both main characters have a troubled past, and truthfully a troubled present. The book was fast-paced, but was not so fast that you didn’t understand what was happening and why. I am in awe that Liliana is such a badass, and so are the other “Mafia Princesses”. The interaction with Max and Liliana was just enough of darkness that kept you on your toes, but not so much where it was off-putting. Every page had me wanting more, and wondering what would happen next. One of the best books I have read by this author. I am looking forward to reading the second book in this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite, #3)Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Mafia Elite Series. Even though you can read these as stand alone, I definitely recommend reading them in order, as there are sub plots throughout each book that connects them all. I absolutely loved the way Amy McKinley portrays Emiliana Vitale. She is one of my favorite characters throughout the series. Her fierceness and bravery are far superior to the other Mafia Princesses, which is what I love about her. This book focuses on Emiliana and Stephano love story. Stephano also is more vicious than the other Bosses, given who his father is, who is the scariest of them all. There is a love between Stephano and Emiliana that seems to go deeper than the other couples. Emiliana was kidnapped and held in a human trafficking ring, and Stephano is the one who saved her and carried her out. I enjoyed the building relationship between the two of them. The way Stephano is there for Emiliana but also lets her heal in her own way is one of the reasons I love this book so much. This book has more than just romance, it touches on standing up for what you want regardless of your parents, as well as key emotions both people can have after a significant trauma. I cannot wait to read book 4 as I know Amy McKinley will most definitely give an amazing story!

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite Series Book 2) by Amy McKinley – Review by Helen Dawkins

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Blood Oath” had me in a whirlwind of emotions. The love story between Enzo and Sofia brought me to tears at every turn. Their love was pure and so deep. This book was even better than the first. Amy McKinley did a MAGNIFICINT job at showing and describing both Enzo and Sofia’s inner thoughts and feelings. There was never a moment you have to think what they were wanting or needing. This book had a bunch of suspense, was intriguing and lots of action. I love the history that the author gives on both of the main characters, and I thoroughly enjoyed the flashbacks each of them had. The small sub plots throughout book one carried out through this book. Even though there are so many characters, the author is wonderful at making each of their stories different, so it’s not that easy to get them mixed up or confused. I personally love the large diversity of characters and sub-plots. Even though this book could be a stand-alone, I do advise to read the first series book before starting this one. One of my favorite components of the book, is how fierce the women are. They are complete Badass women and do not need anyone, but they utterly want to be next to the one they love. Definitely a fast paced read, I could not put it down. I cannot wait to read book 3 and find out what is in store for the other characters, as well to know the ending of some of the sub-plots throughout the book.

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a page turner for sure! At the beginning there is an index of “the families” don’t let that distract you or deter you if you haven’t read any of the other stories in this series.

This story flows so good that you will not need to go back and see who is who, as you are reading it falls into place and explains for yourself. This is a suspenseful and romantic crime book however not scary or overly sexual, just enough to keep you wanting to read whats coming next. I love the family side of the book, you don’t need to be mafia to have the family connection this family has. We could all learn from their weekly dinners.

Many twist you don’t see coming at the end so read away and let this book take you in all the directions.

Reader beware it will make you want to go and read the other stories in this series and her other series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Collateral Damage is a great addition to the Mafia Elite series. This sixth book tells us the story of Trey and Hailey. Hailey is a down to earth girl in a rich girl world. She doesn’t fit in and since losing her sister and dad in a car accident, she has struggled to find her place of acceptance. Trey is an ER doctor and also holds commitments to the Five Families as the mafia doc on call. He’s a busy man with no room for love until he reconnects with Hailey, his sister Sofia’s acquaintance. Trey steps into a kidnapping and ransom plot when Hailey’s stepdad, Allen, asks for his help in relocating her. Trey takes Hailey into his protection and in doing so changes the course of both their lives with an undeniable mutual attraction. This was a good addition and I like getting more storylines from the supporting family members in the Five Families. I love the family dynamic and the willingness to go the extra mile for those you love. I’ve read all the books in this series and I highly recommend them. They can be read as standalone books or start from the beginning. Great book, even better series!

    My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mafia bad boy with a hefty side of sweet & kindness. Trey is by far the kindest, most down to earth mafia man in the family. [IMO] That’s what stands out the most to me to start about this book. Then we have Hailey who is the bomb! She has the perfect combination of being super fierce, smart, brave, a side of bad@ss-ery, and being strong. Perfect match! They go through roller coasters and some situations but as always the family comes together and they handle what they need to. There was a few moments where I thought, oh I know how this is going to play out, and who is the real
villain, but in the end I was pretty off. So you might think you know but you don’t! This book kept me on my toes, and had me counting down the minutes until I could continue reading it! (When I would be at work). Can’t wait for more!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 6 in the series. Technically each story is a standalone novel but the stories are intertwined so it’s recommended to read the series in order.

This right here is how you write a suspenseful romance without the romance aspect overtaking your story. I have to say that this one has been my favorite of the series so far. The tension you feel between Hailey and Trey is palpable.

I really enjoyed Hailey’s character: her strength, her tenacity, and her ability to go after what she wants. I loved the push and pull that happens between her and Trey.

Trey is the smart one of the LaRosa mafia family; he’s the Family doctor. He also has his own connections and strives to help the family in other ways, but he’s protecting his heart after the last woman he wanted died due to his Family life. He doesn’t want to let anyone in, but can’t stop feeling the connection to Hailey once they’ve been reconnected.

I absolutely loved the banter that occurs between Hailey and Trey. They’re both strong headed and doing things for what they view is the right reasons, and between that and the desire that spark between them, the tension is oh so enjoyable.

https://itsybitsybookbits.com/wp-admi…

What a series!! Each book is more revitalizing than the last one! Could not put down, as I needed to learn what happened next and if Luc got his girl!

Summer Johansson was brutally attacked one evening in her apartment. Running for her life, she runs right into the arms of a sexy stranger. Simmering, sexual chemistry consumes Summer & Luc and they give in to their desires. A one night stand leaves them wanting more than either one originally bargained for. While Luc learns that he is the heir to a top mafia crime family and is enticed to claim his spot in the family business. As the plot unfolds and secrets are exposed, the biggest bombshell secret of all has the power to destroy the explosive romance between these two amazing characters.

Phenomenal read—my favorite out of the series ♥️

Trey La Rosa leads a double life, on one hand he is a surgeon at the local hospital and on the other he is the one who stitches up and treats all those within the Five Families Mafia in Chicago, but leading this double life is exhausting for him and one day, he hopes that he can manage his time better.

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.

This story should be read in order as it is book 6 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. I love this series and look forward to the next one.

I love how in this series she has focused not only on the main members of the mafia but also some of the siblings, which is exactly what she has done in writing about Trey in this book. We met Trey in previous books, but I really enjoyed learning more about him and watching him find love in this book. As always, she has written the story of this couple beautifully, making it easy to see the connection between the two of them from the moment they meet. From what I can see, there isn’t a next book in the series, which makes me sad, so I really hope the series continues!

Each book is better than the last! Can not wait to delve into the next book.
