Boss's Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is an amazing start for a new series. I love, love, love mafia books, they are my favs. So, having read a bunch of them, this one rates right up there with some of the best ones I have read. There is the push and pull between characters. There is growth of each character. There is also the amazing set up for future books. I cannot wait to read the next one in this series. How do you work the mafia and keep your mouth shut? How do you keep your head down when that is the last thing you want to do? What happens when feelings start to get involved where they shouldn’t be? These are all the questions that I asked myself while reading this book. Those questions made it a major page turner and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I didn’t put this book down. I actually didn’t even go to sleep until I had finished it. If you love the cocky alpha males of mafia and the feisty good girl that makes their cold hearts melt, this is you next book. Highly recommend this amazingly well written mafia love story!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good biker gang dark romance. There are a few times where it was a little over the top and not believable, but for the most part the author kept to the true natures of gangs, of all kinds, not just a biker gang. I did enjoy it being a biker gang dark romance vs the normal mafia type dark. Sofi, aka “Dior” is the female main character that starts off as not so innocent but definitely not gang material. She loves her dark make up, smoking pot with the occasional pill, and rocker music, especially Iron Maiden, but she is by far not a killer or drug dealer. She learns that her parents, her prim and proper parents used to be in a biker gang, and not just in a gang but the leaders of a highly respected gang the Tyrants in London. Sofi and her brother John find out a few other family secrets, which push her brother to suicide. This enrages Sofi, she wants revenge, she wants to kill the reason for her brother’s suicide; that person is the father of her new BF (Buzz) who is also the head of a rival gang in London, the Wolves. Sofi gets in deep, almost too deep. Sofi (Dior) encounters many hardships while trying to enact her revenge plot, but she also falls in love. Can she get out? Does she want to? Is this all worth it? There are many twists and turns I did not expect, and ultimately the ending completely blindsided me. While there were some faults in certain situations, I overall loved the book and would recommend to anyone who loves a good dark romance.

PLEASE read trigger warnings if you have any!

Trigger Warnings I believe need to be stated:
Rape (of multiple types), Kidnapping, Drug Use, Date Rape Drug, Guns, Murder, any many other adult themes.

Into the Light (Moon Harbor Series Book 3) by Kate McWilliams – Review by Bethany Rollins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loved this book and the dynamic between Raf and Ellie. They begin as friends, both secretly wanting the other but factors such as Raf’s past and Ellie’s brother are standing in their way. But even with the speed bumps, when they finally connect we are given a steamy romance that just keeps getting better. I didn’t realize this was a third book in the series and I loved getting to know the characters of Moon Harbor and will have to read about their stories now. I did enjoy the added suspense the author unraveled but it was a bit of an easy mystery to resolve with little fanfare surrounding it. Great read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a true romance book with all the twists and turns of what young love can be. This book is about second chance loves and has a triangle situation. The main female in this story goes through one of the most horrible things a woman can go through and during that time she leans on the shoulder of one while being in a relationship with another. She leaves town for years when all of a sudden these two men show back up in her life and she must finally decide who she wants to be with. The comforter or the one that shares her history. I picked who I wanted her to end up with and, well, that didn’t go my way at all. This book is so well written that I didn’t even mind her not picking my front runner. The author ties this story up with a great bow and you just know after finishing it that the other guy is going to have an amazing story in book two. This book had me constantly turning the page and feeling real raw emotions for what the main female went through. I highly recommend reading this book and keeping some tissues next to you cause your heart will ache right along with all the characters.
