From start to finish Amy McKinley is able to capture your attention and keep it! A book that is part of a series but can very much be read on their own, No Way Out has twists and turns and enough suspense to keep you turning the page! This book presents readers with a strong female lead and characters that are so well developed as you read the story is brought to life! I am hooked on this series!

This is the sixth book in this series and WOW was this book amazing! Ever since I have started the first word of this series I was HOOKED. This book was just as good as all of the others. The writing style is so unique, and, in every book, it follows a main couple while you still hear about others that you have read about in previous books. Mafia romance novels are generally amazing but this one is the best one that I have ever read. I cannot wait to read more books by this author!!

This book revolves around 5 mafia families, and I am a sucker for Mafia Romances. This book had me on the edge of my seat with every twist and turn that the characters had to face. Max and Lil try and fight the attraction that they feel towards one another through the whole book. With terrible family situations that arise for both of them, they have to learn to rely on one another. This is the first of many books in this series and I will be reading all of them as they are WONDERFUL BOOKS!

I really enjoyed this and thought the story was excellent! This is the third book in a series and I’m hoping to eventually get to the first two at some point. I’m really into westerns right now and I loved the western setting. It was a cute love story with some twists and unexpected obstacles thrown at her, but she handled it well! I highly recommend for anyone looking for romance and who’s into westerns!

As usual, the author produced another romantic dark drama within the mafia families. This book is about Emiliana (Em), one of the mafia’s princesses. In the previous book, we learn a lot of Em and how she was kidnapped, trafficked, but also eventually saved by Stefano – the secret love of her life. In this book, we dive deeper into Em’s story and the secret love she has had for Stefano, her entire life. Stefano feels the same as Em, but his father, an evil mob boss who holds her over his head in order to get what he wants. Throughout this book, the two of them build their romance, go public, and try to find a way to live happily ever after. I love the way the author puts a story down, makes it easy to read, and while getting details is also straight to the point. My most favorite aspect of this book however, is the bad ass women! While each of the mafia books are geared around a main female character, I thought this particular one showed a different side. You know, growing up in a mafia family, you have to have a hard shell, training, and vigilance. The women, especially Em, showed that while the husbands, boyfriends, and bosses are not to be messed with, well neither are their women!!

This is the third book in the series. You can read alone but for everything to gone together, you need to read them all. It is very easy to read. There are ups and downs, twist and turns in this book, but that’s what makes it so good! Each character is amazing. The mafia women are the best! Emiliana grows so much from the start to the end of this book. Stefano wants to be better than his family. The sparks between these two are crazy.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, book 2) by Amy McKinley 4 Stars!!!!
One of my favorite things if finding an author whom I enjoy and this is definitely one of those. I have read many books by this author and this is the second series I have read by her and I am not disappointed. I like how the characters are realistic and the stories are unique and refreshing. I am always on the edge of my seat wanting to see how things will unfold.
I like how there is always a bit of conflict in the characters life and how things are not predictable. I like how there is not always a direct path to the romance and drama added in. I also do like the underlying story that plays out and brings the characters together. I really find the author grabs the reader and keeps you wanting more. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series.

The Sound of Silence (Leave Me Breathless World) by Dakota Willink 4 Stars!!!!
Wow and I do mean Wow! I love finding new authors and with this audio book I was not let down. I was really on the edge of my seat with this one. I really like the fact that there were three narrators. This just added depth and also a fullness to this audio book. I really found the authors style to be gripping and dark which just grabs the listener.
I really felt as though I was part of the drama as it unfolded in this book. The different voices helped to add depth and really highlighted the drama. The characters really came to life and I really enjoyed the feeling and different tones of the narrators. This made this a great listen and I will definitely read and listen to more from this author.

Dakota Willink never ceases to amaze me with her storytelling. The Sound of Silence is a suspenseful, dark romance about a woman named Gia. Gia finally finds love to find out it is never the kind you want. She finds herself in a controlling, abusive relationship but in the end finds happiness. Reading of her struggles, courage, and perseverance really pulled at my heartstrings. While nothing to this severity, this reminded me of my own story. As a teenager, I found myself for 4 years, in an abusive, controlling relationship. I allowed this behavior because I thought I loved him and that he loved me. He would be a different person behind closed doors, but then find ways to weasel himself back into my heart every time. It wasn’t until I was 18 that I had had enough of feeling like I wasn’t worth anything. About a year later, I met an amazing man who I now call my husband. Like Derek (Gia’s saving grace), my husband was very patient with a girl who was broken. However, he saw something in me that I thought I had lost – a woman who deserved to be loved and cared for with respect. So, thank you Dakota Willink for writing this amazing story of survival – I truly believe that it gives hope to those individuals out there that are struggling with similar experiences, and hopeful it will also give them enough courage to find a different path because they are all worth it.

This is another great read by Kells. Dark Bastard was an amazing read and I can’t wait for the next one. It’s part of A Dark Sparrow Series, but can be read as a standalone.
Ellie is trying to live one day at a time, but being a 911 dispatcher is hard. Especially when she thinks she can save someone’s life. The quote I chose for Ellie is: “And you know nothing about me, Sam. And yet, you stopped that final jump because of me. We’re strangers who have lost their way yet found each other. I see honor in you, a protector of your brothers. You may have reached the end of your rope that night, but I believe your strength is still greater than your pain. I don’t care that I don’t know everything about you. I think that for the moment, staying alive is the only solution we have.”
Sam is feeling lost and ready to give up on life. He decides to call his brother only to get a wrong number. When he does hear the person’s voice it changes everything for him. The quote I chose for Sam is: “I couldn’t forget the sadness in your voice when you hung up on me. It’s the only reason I persisted. I want nothing from you, just the reassurance that you’re all right.”

This is the first book I’ve read by Bowie. This book had me hanging on the edge of my seat the entire time. Theo and Aria had me falling in love.
Aria is the oldest of the girls. Not wanting to be in the family business she gets caught up in it. When Theo enters her life it’s turned upside down. The quote I chose for Aria is: “I thought it would be exciting. I envisioned saving my family, showing I can be as good at this life as them. I was petrified that I put my family’s lives in danger. I was scared I would never see you, to tell you how big of an a**hole you are—”
Theo is a cop and isn’t a dirty one. His only reason for being a good guy is to find who killed his dad. Once he finds out who it is, things change. He thought he could use Aria, but didn’t think he’d fall in love. The quote I chose for Theo is: “I know I let you down by us losing the case with Marco. But I have evidence, hard proof, that Nicoli Rossi killed my father. This evidence will put him away. This is the break we’ve been looking for.”

I love that this series is not based solely on romance, but that there is action and drama. It sucks to see the brothers all still fighting their father, he is seriously deranged! My heart broke in the beginning to learn how Ellie and Sam were both feeling about life, but seriously awesome twist that Sam happens to call Ellie’s phone instead of his brothers and a bond forms between them. I liked watching Sam and Ellie dealing with and surviving in Jamison’s home and being basically held prisoner. The bond between the brothers, even though they haven’t known each other long is beautiful. Watching Ellie and Sam fight their inner demons and come together is sweet. At the end we get a glimpse of the next story which is involving Lazarus, fantastic name, and I have been most excited to read his story!

I just can’t get enough of this author!! In Forged by Secrets, Melina tries extremely hard to avoid and keep her walls up when encountering a Navy SEALs “frenemy”, Ty. However, she knows she is so drawn to him, so when she is accused of treason the first person she thinks she could trust to help her is Ty. This is a pretty quick read and from the start has action. Once again, Amy McKinley does an amazing job of blending romance and action together to create this great read. Make sure this makes your list if you love falling for characters in a book!

This was my first audio book and I am very much in love. My new favorite author, Amy McKinley, is not only great at romance, but also suspense. Beneath the Surface is what I would call a great romantic suspense read. As in her other books, her writing puts you right into the action of the story. The story involves a Russian girl, Hannah, who is orphaned that has to survive a “school” that trains her to be a sleeper agent. She is one of the best, due to her harder personality, but does not always let on to that. She’s been “sleeping” for 9 years, in the US, where she works for the US government. In her life, she meets a man, by the name of Jack; her feelings for him scares her away for awhile till he comes to her “rescue”. The ups and downs of where her allegiance to countries lie and love for Jack keeps any reader completely engaged and makes you not want to put the book down. Hannah is a badass character that you can’t help fall in love with.

This book was a super wild ride all the way to the very last pages which totally blew me away! In sons of sindicato we get the story of Seth and Shaw and we get snippets of Dane and Mila. Brink of denial explored everything that makes them Dane and Mila together and apart. They are wild, forceful, aggressive, but madly in love! They have been their entire lives and we get their story in book #2. After that ending it will be a rough wait until book #3 is released!

Bound by Secrets is the second book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley and it is another fantastic book from this wonderful Author. I highly recommend reading this series in order as there are elements to the story line that need the grounding start of the first book.
This time we follow Jaxon Hale, an ex navy seal who is helping out with the police department after leaving the navy and Kayla Kane, a book reviewer and freelance writer on the run from an abusive ex-boyfriend. Jaxon and Kayla were once friends and lovers as teens but heartbreak came their way completely changing everything for them. They still care very deeply for each other but the big question is Can they work past their shared heartbreak and come together even better than before while danger builds around them?
Jaxon and Kayla are wonderful characters full of heart. I hope you enjoy their story as much as I did. I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing action packed, heartfelt series!

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew my mind. I love a good romantic thriller but she exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book in the Relentless Trilogy. I was glued to my seat when I started to read this book. I could not put this book down until I was done. These characters drew me into their story right in the beginning. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book. I can’t wait to read what she writes next.
Jordan Smith goes into the Army as a National Guard to get some of her education paid for. She wants to own her own dance studio one day. Jordan meets a hot soldier she can’t seem to stop thinking about. She goes through her training and now she is home. One day Jordan goes to work and she sees some guys trying to take things from the studio. Jordan makes them leave but she still calls the cops and she is in complete shock when her hot soldier is the cop that comes to help her. Jordan and Grant start to date but then the threats start to come. She is getting stalked but who could it be? Will Jordan and Grant find out who is doing this or will it be too late?
I honestly did not know what to expect from this book, I went into it not knowing what it would be about, even going back in the middle of reading to read the blurb still didn’t tell me what to really expect with the content of the book. Where flowers bloom is about so much more than a romance, well more than just one romance, and part of the story is set in a time where anything unconventional was not allowed. It’s so much more complex and full to the bursting with love but also a fair amount of pain, suffering, and hate. Kendyll has and continues to deal with so much in her life that I really felt for her. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed and slightly confusing but it didn’t detract from the story at all and your able to gather your own thoughts with the openness of the ending. This book had lots of twists, and turns to keep the reader interested, and so much mystery. I even laughed a time or two despite the serious, gut wrenching tone of the story. It’s descriptive to the point these places and people felt so real. It was a good, clean romance so nothing was to descriptive so it would appeal to most readers young and old. Where flowers bloom was my first book from Ms. Vale but it definitely won’t be my last.
Night Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 1) Audio Book by India Kells 4 Stars!!!!
I have no listened to the audio book and I have to admit that it really does add to the book and experience. The narrator does such a great job not only with different accents and voices but also with emotion and feeling in the reading. I really find the choice of narrator a good choice. Sometimes it can be a toss whether or not audio will add but in this case it definitely did. I really enjoyed this second reading of the book and as in most cases found new things that I had overlooked when reading the normal book.
I have read another series by this author and I have to say that I was not let down with this new series. I really like the author’s style and find her plot very original. I also like how the characters just really come to life and just seem to jump off of the page.
I like how there is drama and intrigue along with romance. All the elements are very balanced and the book really just flows. I was not able to put it down. I really like how Orla works with the vigilanty and how their connection blooms. I like how there is a crime element to the romance and that both genres really blend together to a great start to a series. I will read more from this author in the future and this series.

Twisted Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops #1) by Amy McKinley
I’ve read several books by McKinley. This one is better than the last, but then again I say that about all her books. If you love romance with a hint of danger then this is your book.
Riley is a grad student who works at a coffee shop. She is dating her advisor, but things go south when she finds out a secret. She then finds herself attracted to Seal. The quote I chose for Riley is: “Since my stomach seems to be eating itself, that’s probably a good idea.”
Xander is injured and when he’s released he’s mad. He finds something out and is trying to piece together the last mission. His gut is telling him something wasn’t quite right. He meets Riley and things change drastically. The quote I chose for Xander is: “I’ve got it. If you can take my bag, we’re good to go.”
Secure Boxed Set: Chase Security Series Books 1-3 by R.L. Dunn
Secure Desire (Chase Security Series #1)
Dunn has a way with bringing characters to life. This was a fantastic read and can’t wait for book 2. This is the first book in the Chase Security Series and my first read by the author.
Cassiopeia Ellis, Cassie, has lost her entire family and now people are coming after her. Something happened to her six years ago and she remembers bits and pieces. The quote I choose for Cassie is: “I promise you’re not. Life is too short, and there are tons of things to be afraid of. One thing I am very sure about is I’m not afraid of you.”
Ian Chase runs a high-end business. He met Cassie six years ago, but when he runs into her again he knows he has to have her. He wants to know everything about her, but things are tough in the beginning. The quote I choose for Ian is: “Some other tidbits? I know you prefer tea over coffee. Your favorite snack is gelato. I know you have a passion for high heels. Your favorite scent is honeysuckle. I know you love art—even pig art. You crinkle your nose when you’re thinking. Christian calls you ‘bunny’ because you used to have big ponytails that looked like bunny ears. You are a capable, brave woman, the strongest woman I ever met. I know I want to spend my life getting to learn everything about you and making you happy. When you are well enough, I want to take you to my bed and love you like you deserve to be loved.”
Secure Again (Chase Security Series #2)
The second book I’ve read and definitely not the last. This is the second book in the Chase Security Series, but it can be read as a stand alone. Dunn has a way of bringing you into the book.
Martin is the leading male in this book, but Ian makes an appearance. Going back to his hometown changes everything for him. Not expecting to rekindle the romance from his past. The quote I chose for Martin is: “Thank you, everyone. Those words are too few for all you are doing. I have some news for all of you. Today I made a life decision: I’ve adopted the infant injured in the trailer park fire. Lola Wyatt will be Lola Bailey by morning. In advance, I thank all her new aunts and uncles for being a part of her life. Second happy news: I plan to ask Elizabeth Reed to marry me the second she wakes up.”
Elizabeth, Beth, is a doctor who finds that guards are abusing the prisoners. When a cop is shot and she tends to him; she finds that it’s the younger brother of Martin. Not sure how things are going to go she faces the Bailey family. The quote I chose for Beth is: “That is a bleed. Eric, Patrick, recheck the CT. What vessel does it look like to you? There are multiple layers of collateral circulation from previous injuries. He follows his own book.”
Secure Heart (Chase Security Series #3)
Another great read by Dunn! This is part of the Chase Security Series, but can be read as a stand alone. Dunn has a skill of making you fall in love.
Julian is missing his wife and takes to the bottle. His family doesn’t know and his friends help him out. When he’s moved closer to family he finds himself falling. The quote I chose for Julian is: “I’m the hard a**, Julian Dupart. You two were hired to replace one person: Mia Donnelly. According to your resumes, each of you hold all the specific requirements to meet the conditions of this job on your own. You received huge salary bumps and countless perks. I walked down to your office with the intentions of getting to know you and discussing the issues concerning the branch. Instead, two blivets greeted me with attitude and boredom, wasting time playing games. Both of you are on notice. Go home now, and tomorrow, return with a new attitude and work ethic if you want to continue being employed by this organization. OUT!”
Holly is a single mom who isn’t happy. She finds that her kid is sick and wants to help. Things get tough and she isn’t sure who to turn to. The quote I chose for Holly is: “Well, Momma , I guess it’s my time to take over your business.”

Dunn – Review by Amanda Kimble
Urban Justice is just as good as the first book maybe even better, Sloane and Luke were great together, the chemistry and the banter was on point. Sloane is working undercover trying to save the people of Chicago and Luke who is an ex- marine and now professor just want’s the same thing. Plenty of action and romance you wont be disappointed.

I never turn down the chance to read an MC book, i love the danger and the romance, and The first book in this series has all of that and more. I’m not normally a fan of the older couple romances but i really enjoyed this and I cant wait to read the next book. There was so much chemistry between Patsy and Lost, its such a roller costar ride but one you definitely want to get on.

Being Lost: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #1 by Manda Mellett 4 Stars!!!!
Wow another series off to a great start. I have read many of this author’s MC series and this is yet again another great start to introducing us to yet another chapter. The characters just jump off of the page and are very realistic. I like how the author is able to bring in just enough drama and intrigue and mix in romance.
I like how Lost and Patsy are in a way each other’s saviour. It really is a lovely romance even though it is wrought at the beginning with danger. I like how the Satan’s Devils are able to keep everyone safe. I like though how this series ties into the other, and how there is a nice little cliffe hanger at the end. I am so intrigued to find out how this little intrigue will tie into the series and how things will begin to unfold. I cannot wait to read more from this author and this series.
