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!

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, 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!

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!

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.

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” 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.

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!

Once again, I was hooked from the beginning. I found myself lost in this book. The character detail is so amazing. The author knows how to get your attention and keep you wanting more. I have read a couple books from the series, but this one was my favorite. I highly recommend this book and series.

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!

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!!

This book has the perfect mixture of mafia, romance, funny moments, and happily ever after. Trey and Hailey have such an emotional and sweet story. The author draws you in from the first chapter and keeps you captivated the whole time. It keeps you guessing until the last chapter. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

I have loved all the books of this series and the author doesn’t disappoint in this read either. I’ve been anxious to read Trey’s story. They author creates the perfect match for him and I love being there to see if transpire. Once you start this story you will devour it instantly and not want to stop. I can’t wait to see what else is in store for this Mafia family.

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.

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!!

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 runs from one mob straight into the arms of another one but can she trust Luc even though 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🥰

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.

I am reading author Amy McKinley for the first time and I’ve got to say I was not disappointed at all. Her story telling was awesome. I like that it swaps between Liliana and Max’s POVs because it helps me see the characters’ thought process 😊. If you like strong badass females and a protective alpha male (the good kind) this is a definite must read! Has Action,Romance, and suspense. Cannot wait to continue 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. Hailey Carmichael is the daughter to rich parents who have her life planned out for her as a socialite running in the same circles they do, but she wants more, however, she isn’t sure how to get it, not in the least the man she has had a crush on since the first time she saw him.
It is a day full of tension for Hailey as she has to confront someone important to her about something she is dreading talking about, but she takes a couple of deep breaths and decides to go for it before she buckles and backs off before she gets what she wants, that is until she is kidnapped and thrown into the back of a van right in front of the person she was about to talk to. For Trey, it is just another day on call at the hospital where he does his usual rounds and interacts with his patients so that he can make the best decisions he can for them, however, when he is called in to the office of one of his superiors and finds out that a woman he has tried to forget has been kidnapped, memories surface of the first and last time he saw or spoke to her and how grief for his first love got in the way, he decides then and there that he is going to rescue her, whatever it takes.
As Trey uses his resources to rescue her, the scene he finds is not the one he expected, but for Hailey, he is the last person she expected to come to her rescue, however, as he keeps her out of harms way and finds out more information behind the motive for the kidnapping, they reach an agreement to work together to follow the funds together and uncover the full reasons. As they spend more time together in his home, the attraction they felt the first time they met resurfaces and they both struggle to maintain the distance between them and the one thing they crave the most, each other, however, will they be able to uncover the secrets and reveal the truth before their new found relationship is severed, again? This is a compelling romantic suspense which will hook you in and take you for a ride which is full of secrets, lies, threats and revelations with plenty of action thrown in for good measure, as this second chance romance plays out amid danger approaching from every direction.

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.

Trey, the family doctor and local hospital doctor is front and center in this story. He’s exhausted overworked and has known heartbreak and has no time for love.
That is until he meets Hailey, from an affluent family who doesn’t really fit into the rich prestigious world she tries hard to keep her appearance in until a family secret rocks her to the core.
these two come together so naturally and mesh so well you can’t help but instantly fall in love with their story and you had heard of trey in the other stories but learning about how he ticks is a story you don’t want to miss.
another fantastic stand alone, but all of these books intertwine and you can learn more about all the characters in each story… I’m sure there will be more as there is definitely more for us to learn!

Another hit by one of my favorite authors! 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!

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.

This was an OK book for me. Was it my favorite in the series? No. But I still like it. This was a second chance mafia romance that was sweet as well. You can read this book as a stand-alone, or as part of the series. You should give this book a try and see how you like it.

Broken hearted Trey La Rosa, surgeon for the mafia, is afraid to give his heart away since the death of his girlfriend . That is until his path crosses with sexy socialite, Hailey Charmichael. Sparks immediately fly and there is no denying the instant attraction that rocked both of their worlds. Months after their brief encounter, the spark is still alive. Trey learns of Hailey’s kidnapping and assists in helping to locate her. When Trey finds Hailey they determine the motive for the kidnapping is much more elaborate than either one had thought. Vowing to keep her safe, he takes her home (where things REALLY heat up) to keep a close eye on her as they work together to figure out the circumstances surrounding her abduction. As they continue to dig, sparks between them continue to fly! Fell in love with the characters in this page turning thriller. Couldn’t wait to reach the end to find out if they obtained their “happily ever after”! Another well written plot, spinning a web of lies and secrets that blow the reader away!

Born in Darkness is the third installment of the Mafia Elite Books. This one’s my favorite one yet😍. The story follows Emiliana and Stefano from their stolen kisses to their HEA. Also I thought Emiliana was strong before but after what happened to her she became more fierce and I love how Stefano is with Emiliana. Where can i find one 🤣I cannot stand Stefano father at all😡. This series has me so enthralled that I can’t put them down. I’m going to read the next one right now. I would highly suggest you read these books.

Viciously attacked, Emailiana emerges from he the attack with a dark passion that is equally matched by that of Stefano—where they calculate a plan to out the rat and crush all the obstacles that are standing in the way of them from openly being together.
