My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story of Dominic and Emelia is unique, Emelia being the sweet mafia princess ends up in Dominic’s lap when a revenge plan comes to fruition between the warring crime families. It’s their choices that lead to them tempting fate and going after each other although they’re not supposed to. They seem to be unable to stay away from each other even though she’s supposed to be his prisoner and leverage to get more information about their family, The connection that they have is too strong to stop and neither one wants to. When the danger kicks up a notch, it’s a race against the clock to save the other or lose them along with something else, their life. Can they get past the den of vipers otherwise known as their families or will the viper strike before they’re ready?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Via Mari does not disappoint with her series. The second book is full of well written characters, twists, turns, and romance. It is not the light hearted romance, but that deep dark romance. She captures the enemies to lovers essence laced into the story. This book picks up where the first ended. As such, I do recommend reading them in order. You won’t regret it!

This story focuses on mafia enemies, Dominic and Emelia. The cruel reality of the world of crime doesn’t slow a beat for anyone trapped in the dark web. All actions have consequences. Especially between rival families. That doesn’t mean all consequences end the way one thinks they might.

Does it end with good or bad consequences for our enemy mafia main characters? Start reading now to find out!

I honestly love this author so much, I don’t even bother reading the blurb for her stories anymore as I just know they are going to be amazing and as predicted this book was no different and she definitely upped the ante I this book that’s for sure! Twists and turns galore and I was practically on the edge of my seat the whole way through – there was suspense, romance and w whole lot more! I think for me it was Emelia who stole the show – she was such an amazing character – I absolutely loved her!
Fabulous dark read – I cannot wait for more from this author!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another smashing story from this series and this author! I loved the passion, the excitement and the actions of these characters. I was enthralled from the first page! Honestly that activity held up through most of the book dazzling me more as the story went on.

I really liked Emelia as she is everything a woman wants to be. I only wish she was a bit older because some of the attitude and fiery passion comes with age. Maybe about 7 yrs older but not a lot. My other only complaint is the overuse of the word “Capiche”. It just felt unnatural with it ending every sentence in the beginning.

Overall a captivating storyline and amazingly well done characters. I look forward to the next in this series.

Emelia and Dominic are members of opposing families, but once Dominic takes Emelia in response to her family’s actions, he intent on staking his claim. Dominic and Emelia can’t shake attraction even with the risk. This is a dark mafia romance gave us plenty of twists and turns, suspense, intrigue and steamy moments. I immediately liked Dominic and how he still had a moral code and wasn’t willing to waver on it. Emelia is a strong female that is the perfect match to Dominic. Definitely an enjoyable read.

Just wow! The first book in the series was amazing, and this 2nd book is just as good if not better. Dominic is out for blood after the attack on his family by the De Rosa family. Emelia De Rosa is the princess of her family and exactly who Dominic is looking to capture. Once he gets her, he quickly learns that she is more than meets the eye. Emelia is a force all her own. Which side will come out on top and will they be able to deny the attraction they feel for the enemy? I love love love Emelia! My favorite character in a book filled with great characters.

Underboss’s Retaliation is the 2nd book in the Dark Mafia Romance series. I did not read the first book, and still enjoyed this one. I could tell it was an ongoing story, and there was references to previous events. However, the author provided enough detail that it wasn’t lacking. It is similar to other mafia romance books, but I really enjoyed it. The characters are well written, and their love and devotion to the Family is undeniable. It had a good balance of suspense and romance. Dominic is strong and loyal, but can be sweet under his terrifying outside. Emelia is feisty as all get out, and I love how strong females tend to be written in these books. I look forward to reading the rest of the

This is book 2 and continues with the Larussio family going up against the De Rosa family. This book picks up where book 1 ended. Even giving a glimpse into book 1 in the first few pages.

This time the story is primarily about Dominic and Emelia. Which they are from opposite families that are enemies. So the first few chapters kind of give that Romeo and Juliet vibe. I love how Emelia is shown to be stronger than thought to be!

Emelia and Dominic cross a line that can never be un-crossed and no matter what one of them would have to give up their family lineage if they wanted to be together. Emelia shows just how strong she is and Dominic shows her how far he will go to protect her.

I can’t wait to follow more of this family and see how this all plays out. I’m glad that each one is centered around a particular person.

This book is the prequel to the series. I could not put this book down and can’t wait to read more of the series. I don’t often read novellas because I feel like it ends just as I get into it but I’m glad I made an exception!

One night, no names. Should be an easy agreement, until it’s not. This book did not disappoint with the hotness. The characters are well written, it’s steamy, what more could you want. I am really looking forward to reading more.

The only thing that kept this from getting five solid stars was the fact that it ended way too soon. There is a LOT of steamy hot sex in this book, but I was definitely drawn to the internal monologue that was being had by both of the Main Characters. I am truly intrigued as to WHO “Jack” really is. The things divulged in this Novella are both intriguing and leave you wanting to know oh so much more. I cannot wait for this spinoff from McNamee’s original series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Coming from enemy mafias, Dominic and Emelia should not feel an attraction to each other, but they do. Aside from being forbidden, they should also stay away from each other because Dominic’s cousin has been kidnapped by Emelia’s father and Dominic has taken Emelia until his cousin is released. The biggest problem, though, is they just can’t stay away from each other.
Opinion
I’m a huge fan of Via Mari’s mafia books. While they offer some gore, they are much more about relationships, and not just between the man and woman but between family members as well. Just reading through them can almost make you envious of the support the families have.
This book was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the fact that Dominic and Emeila are from rival mafia’s. That is not necessarily something I expect in a mafia romance book.

Holy Moly!! Talk about hot!! If I was able to give 10 stars…. I would in a heartbeat! This is a prequel to the Hawke Family Second Generation Series, and I definitely recommend reading! It’s a super quick read but let me tell you….it is an attention grabber from the first paragraph! I truly couldn’t put this book down…. the book had me thinking…. Christian Grey who! I’m not going to give away anything from the book, but dang…there’s a LOT of spicy! You want to talk about secrets, romance, plenty of emotion, and of course hot as hell spice! This was an extremely entertaining book and I sat down and read this in one sitting and was beyond prepared for the next book! And let’s talk about the way the author leaves us on a cliffhanger?! All I have to say is that I’m ready for the next book, and I 100% recommend this book…especially if you’re into hot romances with a little bit of mystery! Happy Reading!

Night Hawke by Gwyn Mcnamee was a fantastic, spicy, quick introduction to book number 1 in the second generation Hawke family series. If you have read the first generation series about the Hawke family you read the books about the characters parents, which is an amazing series, and definitely a worthwhile read. Night Hawke is about Issac Hawke and a mystery girl that he meets in a bar and the instant lust and attraction that they experience. They agree to one night of fun, anonymous, with no names, and agree to leave each other in the morning. What could be better, right? I read this book in about an hour or so but it definitely has me on the hook waiting for book number one in this series to be released.

“Jack” and “Nolan” meet at a bar, like most people do. They both expect a fun time to help them forget their real responsibilities and roles in life. Turns out, that’s impossible. In this short story, you follow two very enticing characters through their 2 days together. I can’t wait to read the next book, which continues this short story. Read this if you like steamy scenes, amazing detail, and character development.

What a great prequel! This book makes me so excited to read the series. This was a quick read that packed a punch with great chemistry between Jack and Isaac, and a weekend full of steamy moments. I have no doubt that the second generation of Hawke’s will be just as good as the first. This author has a way of pulling you into the story line and keeping you entertained. This book leaves you on a cliffhanger wanting more. This is a must read.

Super quick read but my gosh did it grab my attention from the first paragraph! I simply could NOT put this book down. I’m not writing any spoilers but just know the SPICE is 🔥 for being a short read the connection between the two main characters was incredible! There’s secrets, there’s romance, there’s angst, there hot as hell spice! I loved it all. I fell in love with the characters so damn fast that I need more! I read this in one sitting and when it ended, I screamed. Because I didn’t want the story to end lol. And that cliffhanger? My goodness. I can’t wait to read the next book!! Because I’m addicted to this one! Highly highly HIGHLY recommend!

I hadn’t read anything from Gwyn McNamee before, but I am *extremely* glad I picked this up. I was entranced from the first chapter and couldn’t get enough of this story! I couldn’t believe such a short read could have me so involved with the characters. The author did an outstanding job with this, and I have already picked up another collection of hers as soon as I finished this one. Night Hawke definitely has plenty of heat in it, pick it up and give this incredible author a read!

Night Hawke
By: Gwyn McNamee

This is my first book by Gwyn McNamee and it most certainly will not be my last. This was an incredibly steamy romance that, like the characters, left me wanting more. Isaac and Jack were written with such depth and intrigue that I truly enjoyed them. This was definitely one of the best books I have ever read. I will caution that this book is incredibly steamy. I loved that about it though. This is the prequel to the Hawke Family series, however it definitely stands alone. I have not read a single book in this series and I was able to follow it all without being the least bit confused.

I was not ready when I started this book! So far this is the second title I’ve read from this author-the first was book 1 in the Hawke Collection and I’m hooked-and it was one I didn’t want to put down! This is a steamy story about the heir to the Hawke throne-and his sexually explicit adventures prior to stepping into his new role. He meets an incredible woman why he just wants to physically enjoy…but isn’t it like attraction to every once in awhile give us the time of our lives with an unexpected love connection? This author takes to put on a ride from his point of view and it is wild! I won’t give it away but you’ve got to read to see what happens to this inseparable pair!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Night Hawke is a short novella but is by no means lacking in intrigue and steam.
I was hooked from the very beginning of the first page and couldn’t put it down!
The novella was an easy read which contained perfectly crafted characters. I found myself wishing to know more about them all and found them to be very well written. The author’s style of writing throughout flowed nicely, and when descriptions were made, I was able to picture myself there as if seeing it for myself.
This novella is the prequel to the second series of the Hawke Family and was my introduction to this author. I am anxious to read the next books as this one certainly left me wanting more! Luckily, I’ll be able to read the 1st series of the Hawke Family while I wait for the next book(s) following this prequel to be released.

Completing and graduating from Law School means that it is time to step into his role in the Hawke empire. But he just wanted to have a night of fun before the real business began. He had two rules that both parties had to abide by: No Names. No Expectations.
But things never seem to go as planned. No amount of time will be enough with her. Not even a lifetime is enough.

To say that this story is sizzling hot is an understatement. I haven’t even read the Hawke Family first generation but if it’s anything like this one, I’ll read everything I can about this family. “Nolan” is smouldering hot. He’s good looking, smart and fit. He knows what he wants and he’s not afraid to go get it. He’s dominant at all the right times. He can melt your panties just by looking at you. “Jack” is sexy and sassy. She’s every man’s wet dream. The fiery redhead with a body to die for. When these two get together, the chemistry is electrifying.

It was supposed to be a one night stand which turned into a weekend. Both realized that they had a deeper connection. The rules that they agreed upon were no names and no expectations. Can they abide by the rules or will their feelings take over? This book left me breathless. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Spicy!! This is a great introduction to Issac and Jack. I love that you could tell the feelings Issac was developing for Jack and over just a short amount of time. They seem to have this sort of connection. It seemed like by the end Issac may have been willing to delay his duties to his family to be with Jack a little longer, but Jack, I was wondering so much what her family was all about and why she was under such heavy security. I can’t wait to get into this series!

They met at a bar and holy batman, they have chemistry off the charts. Isaac has just finished Law School and is about to take the bar so he decides when he meets Jack at a bar and she’s giving him the look to take her up on it. They hook up for not only one night but two and they have a hot time! Jack’s family starts to look for her because she hasn’t shown up and there will be explaining to do! Read this fast paced steamy read but be ready cause you will fly thru the pages.
