My rating: 3 of 5 stars
So this is just an okay story for me. I was expecting a mafia story and felt this is an overbearing businessman story with lots of smexy times. Sure he could be mafia but it is not eluded to until the end. I feel the author is just drawing it out to make it into more books. Not a lot happens through the whole long book other than slooow character development and lots of sex. I got tired of the main character’s thoughts pertaining to a work relationship. A few are fine..half a book..too much.
I also had confusion over the name Matt used more than once. Early on I just ignored it and realized later on I should not have as it became important and I wondered if it was the same person and I just did not make the connection earlier. But it wasn’t.
I did like how the characters met each other, their cute emailing and the danger that arrived. This ends in an unfinished story. Not really a cliffhanger but I just turned the page and the book was over leaving me feeling incomplete. This is not a first time author for me but this one is just not my favorite.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Katarina’s past has always been the driving force to her life, scarred by her mother and driven within her career she has never really enjoyed life, until she meets the dark and mysterious Chase Prestian. With his relentless nature to make her his and the chemistry between them sparks will fly but can Katarina open her dark desires to him.
Chase has it all money, success, and a revolving door of woman but none has piqued his interest like Katarina, with the chemistry and the willing to show her the dark side of life will she be as open to a relationship with him once he shows her his other side.
This book is full of action and steamy scenes, I am always drawn to a Alpha male and Chase is more than that. The action within this book is full of intrigue and suspense, with the characters each having their own flaws and problems to overcome. I love the interactions between the two main characters and the way Katarina discovers this about herself personally along the way.
Although the book has a vibe of the Sub/Dom relationship this is done in a way to enhance the characters relationships and provides and interesting look into both. I loved the strong character of Katarina and although she shows her submissive side to Chase there is always a sass to her character and style. Overall, this is a brilliant start to the series and can’t wait to read more and discover more of this world.

Degrees of Innocence by Via Mari
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A wonderful story Katrina who is a design consult who end up falling for Chase, a very wealthy and powerful man. Chase is overprotective and overbearing and Katrina deals with trauma from her mothers past. Their story includes sexual exploration, secrets, and suspense. It definitely has a 50 shades feel to it so keep that in mind when reading. The story and erotica is definitely not new and the writing isn’t perfect which is the only reason I didn’t rate it higher but I would still recommend this book to someone to looking for a nice quick enjoyable read

Degrees of Innocence: Dark Mafia Romance (Cruel Deceptions Book 1) By Via Mari
5 out of 5 stars
I always love reading any book by Via Mari, and this book did not disappoint. Follow along and learn all about Katarina Meilers and Chase Prestian. A woman who is dedicated to her job and always strives for perfection, and a man who just wants to be seen.
Do you believe in love at first sight? This book slightly follows that line, where there is an immediate attraction that only grows as time goes on.
But, like every love story, something goes wrong. That wrong in this book, can be Chase’s over protectiveness and Katarina strong emotions, which she is not used to having.
Can they overcome their differences and each other’s flaws? Read to find out!
I love the playfulness between the two, and the joking around with each other. Let’s not forget about the steam either!
All in all, Via Mari did not fail and brought, yet another, great romance story! I cannot wait to read more in this series!

Sin is a human who can see the Hidden for who they truly are. She is a PI which is how she meets an Imp she later helps break out of jail. She finds Rad interesting and can’t seem to keep him off her mind. The quote I chose for Sin is: “Whoever is sourcing the dark-b knows it’s illegal beyond the veil.

Degrees of Innocence by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Kate is in Aruba for a project that the company she works for is spearheading. She showed up a few days before the conference regarding the project is set to begin so she can enjoy some rest and relaxation. Her first night takes an interesting turn when she saves the life of a man that collapses in front of her…and then meets a handsome stranger that she is almost instantly attracted to. However, she is surprised when she walks in on the first day of the conference to see the handsome stranger introducing himself as the owner of the company who has hired the one she works for.
Chase purposely didn’t introduce himself because people are usually after him due to his bank account. So, when Kate doesn’t know who he is, he is relieved to find her feelings are genuine. He does, however, have quite the challenge ahead of him to break down her walls and her reluctance to dating someone who she works for. But, when Kate’s safety is at risk, Chase will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
Once they return to the US, Kate’s safety is still in danger and she finds herself in an extremely dangerous situation. When she is recovering, she is hit with even more shocking news when her mother reveals the truth about her father. How will this come into play in future books?
I found these characters to be interesting. The book spends quite a bit of time introducing different types of play in the bedroom. Chase and Kate’s relationship is full of chemistry…but also danger being who they each are (separately and together). I am interested in seeing how the last revelation plays out as they move forward. Overall, a good book.
