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

This is my first reading adventure by this author. I read this book as a stand-alone, even though this is book 4 in the series. I was able to follow the story without having to have read the previous 3 books, but I did have a little trouble keeping up with who is in what “family”.
This was a good book, but not as Mafia-esc as I would have liked. Marco & Elena were a little too sweet for me. They had chemistry, but it felt like the story was rushed to get it there. Maybe I needed a slower burn, or a longer book for my taste. But either way I will be going back to read the other books in the series t0 see if it gets better for me.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am totally in love with this series and it’s only Book 2! I absolutely love how McKinley is incorporating characters from the previous book. I would definitely recommend reading these books in order. You will get more of an appreciation of the characters and their development. Much like the first book, McKinley hooks you in! I absolutely love the flashback at the beginning of Sofia and Enzo. I think it gives incredible insight into their feelings and ultimately, their relationship. I really enjoyed seeing Sofia and Enzo’s relationship grow. There are many times throughout the book where the reader isn’t sure if they will or if they won’t end up together. Normally this type of push and pull irritates me, but McKinley does it well and gives the characters valid reasons for making the decisions they do.

One of the aspects I love of this series is McKinley’s development of her female characters. They are strong, independent women who can handle business on their own, but they don’t mind asking for or accepting help. They aren’t wimpy, scared girls hiding in the corner; they are right up front with the men when it goes down. I really appreciate the way McKinley has developed her female characters.

This is an excellent continuation of The Mafia Elite series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Face the Fire is the 5th book in the Moore Family Saga. This romantic suspense has brought us a long way. Starting with Cade and Lecia in the first two and moving onto Miles and Bella in the rest, this saga has had many ups and downs. This book can be read as a standalone, but I read it with the rest of the set and I recommend reading them all. Miles Moore won’t stop until his dreams of a music empire are a reality, but Bella is worried about their family. Their two twins mean the world to her. She wants nothing more to help her husband with his growing dreams, but when business collides with family she fears a feud. Competitors can make their life harder and she doesn’t want any bloodshed. Will secrets split this couple and their family up? Will Bella’s work become a problem? Will Miles’s competitive nature endanger their lives? Will their strong family bond support them during these hard times? Their large family has always been there for them, but how about now? Great Saga. Slow going at first, but picks up and keeps you on your toes!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Third book to this Moore Family Saga. Miles Moore (son of Cade and Lecia from book 1 & 2) is all grown up (26) and still obsessed with fire. Ari (aka Miles) is a famous international hip-hop performer who uses fire in his show. It’s in his genes after all. He loves all the things that come with fame like cars, travel, women, and of course all the money. But life on the road away from his large family and the death threats he could do without. When a woman (Bella) who is afraid of fire joins his marketing team he thinks she’s the last person he’d be attracted too and names her Ice Queen. The banter between the characters and their growth throughout the books is wonderful. Can Ari get past his own thoughts and follow his gut? Will fire burn his world to the ground? I really enjoyed this book. I am excited to finish the last two in the saga!

This book was good but I think it caught me at a bad time.
I felt a bit of a disconnect when I started on this book.
Everything about this screamed keep reading and I’m glad I did.
Luckily I read this saga backwards so I did enjoy it but I think I ruined the hype by not reading in order.
Miles is officially my go to man candy.
This is a book of desire and lust and steam and this author is the way to go.
She has a way with this couple that just built and built.
What would you do if you saw your crush naked?!
This was one of the best of the series worth the binge.
I don’t know how to explain this.
A favorite that’s all.
Five stars not to shabby.

OMG These books get better and better.
Where had the author been my entire life.
I read this book in once sitting and it’s official I love African American romance.
I feel like a part of the relationship.
So let me tell you, these couples that this author writes about makes me cry laugh and scream.
I feel like I need a break but there is more and I need it all.
Amazing is an understatement each book I read gets better and better.
I did feel like in the middle it dragged just a bit but it’s worth it to keep reading.
Everything by this author needs to be recommended.
This is a part of my official collection and it all should be a buddy read.
Love this, can’t wait for more.

This one started out slow for me and took me a minute to get into. Once you do get into the suspenseful action twist you just can’t wait to see what happens next. Cade and Lecia are dealing with many dynamics throughout their young married life. Family, jealousy, EX’s, love, hate, and a baby on the way pave a rough path for these two as they try to start their new lives. When a few events happen that threaten their unborn child they must lean on their strong family bonds and work through the emotional roller coaster of sacrifices, forgiveness, jealousy, and faith. Will Cade and Lecia work through their many problems and come together to save their child? Will jealousy and hatred rip them apart before they can even start their family? This author builds the characters so well and has them work through some things that many couples in real life must face. Can’t wait to see what happens in the rest of the saga!!

Not hot but steamy, endearing and aspiring.

Oh well this was refreshing.
This was an easy read so entertaining.
I loved the plot to this story the suspense and romance was amazingly written.
I loved the character development that it’s a future story.
This should be a standalone because even though it had the same story line and characters as the rest of the series this seemed more like a past story then six weeks later.
This wasn’t as good as book four or three but this author has a way with words.
It’s great to know that the story goes on with the main character.
I really enjoyed this overall.

I love a book that you are new to the author and you fall in love with the first book you read and are already hooked! This story has different elements….. family, suspense, mystery, fame, family but with a twist of paranormal wrapped in. Bella and Miles run a Music business and are very successful along with raising their family. Love is tested in this story…and we learn Miles also has a “gift” that is also passed down to their children. Can Miles and Bella’s love survive? Definitely read to find out.

I know I definitely want to go back now and read the series from the beginning. What a great book!

Continuing to love each and every book that I have read by this author! The latest in the Mafia Elite series, this book has you hooked from the first page. I started it the moment I had it in my Kindle library, it may have taken me awhile to finish it but that was only because of my busy work schedule! This book can easily be devoured in a weekend, maybe even a day if you are a dedicated reader with time on your hands.

Elena Caruso is no stranger to anyone who has read the previous books in the series, so when I found out that Savage Secrets was about her story with Marco, I knew it wouldn’t take much for me to get hooked! I’ve always loved the enemies to lovers, arranged marriage genre of romance fiction, and this book proved to me just how much I do! It amazes me how the author continues to impress me time and time again, I know that I will never be disappointed when I get the chance to read one of her stories!

What another fantastic read by this author! I do not think I have found anything I haven’t loved by her! The way she writes just catches your attention from the beginning sucks you in and keeps you wanting more.
This is by far one of my favourite series by her! She has become a new favourite of mine and her books are a guaranteed read no matter what the storyline is! The mafia storyline connected with the other books in this series has been amazing and this book with Marco and Elena was no different! It only took me a few days to read it just like the others and it did not disappoint in any way!
If you are looking for an amazing book series with the mafia, suspense, twists, and turns I highly recommend this book and the others in the series! You will not be disappointed!

Sinful Vow (Dark Mafia Sins, #0.5)Sinful Vow by Emily Bowie

Luca Rossi is Aly Mancini’s family’s biggest rival in the Italian Mafia. But Aly is not really part of that world. Thank god her mother kept her away from that growing up. Even though Luca should stay away from Aly, he can’t seem to follow that rule and is always lurking when she needs him to protect her. Aly is a grown adult and no longer needs protecting, she can do that all on her own. But can she really? When the tension between Rossi and Mancini families starts to deepen, is there anything that could cause them to call a truce?
Murder, blood, fights, loyalty, and true love are some of the components you will find in the pages of this book. Once I picked this book up I could not put it down. I loved the push and pull of Luca and Aly’s relationship. It kept me on the edge of my seat and even tears in my eyes at some points. This is a true Romeo and Juliet story.

We take a step forward from Cade and Lecia to dive into Miles’ life- his career of following in his father’s footsteps when Mile’s studio hires a new marketing manager; someone completely opposite of what he normally looks for in a woman. While the author’s first two books have a lot of spice in them, this is a nice, slow burn of a romance. It was interesting to see Miles’ all grown up, and to see him find a love like his parents.

Cade is back on stage in the second book of this series, on tour with his wife and his son.

It has a lot of twists and turns, and there’s a big moment that’s hard to see coming. Taking place about 8 years after the first, she does a good job of pulling the audience back into the Moore family story.
