Blood Oath was a thrilling 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. I love the connection that these two had and you could feel it coming off the pages.
Sofia is getting ready for her first fashion show when danger rears its ugly head. It also brings someone back to her she hasn’t had a connection with in years. When they were younger they had made a blood oath and he vowed to always protect her until a nasty twist of fate changed things for them.
Will Enzo be able to protect her? Will they be able to keep their hearts out of it?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. You get some steamy scenes, danger, suspense and so much more. The secondary characters added a great element to the story, I loved how protective her brothers were. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.
Second book into this amazing series and Ms. McKinley has hit it out of the park again!!! Blood Oath is the second fantastic book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. As with the first book, this is a brilliant mafia romance- a romantic suspense story with an action-packed plot, secrets, dramatic developments, mafia politics, intrigue, tension, chemistry, steamy encounters, emotion, and more… This book continues what we started in book one, but this is Sofia and Enzo’s story (whom we met in book one as supporting characters). I loved all the interconnected details and intriguing threads that Ms. McKinley is weaving through her stories, and series. It makes for riveting reading. I have a new addiction and I can’t wait for my next fix!!! Seriously, if you love mafia romance, and/or romantic suspense, then you definitely won’t want to miss this exciting story/series!!! Enjoy!

What a great second book!! Completely love this series! Ms. McKinley does a fantastic job of making her characters realistic and personable. Enzo and Sofia’s lives are entwined by tragedy from when they were younger. In response, Enzo takes a blood oath to protect her no matter what. When someone from the past comes back to haunt Sofia, demanding answers about a cover up, it requires Enzo to uphold his end of the oath. Will Sofia be able to confide in Enzo or will more tragedy strike before he can save her from the past?
The Mafia princesses and their men are fascinating! The world that they live in is dangerous and the men even more so to their hearts. I was instantly drawn in to the story of these families and at this point, I feel invested and cannot wait for the next one!
Blood Oath by Amy Mckinley is the second book in the Mafia Elite series. This book is every bit as exciting as the first book. I knew I had to make sure I had time to read all of this book when I started it because I would not be able to put it down and that is exactly what happened. The chemistry between these characters is unreal. It is evident in every page and completely believable. I was drawn into it and could not stop reading about them. Every single book by this author is just as good as the last. I never hesitate to pick up a book by this author and this book highlights exactly why. I would highly recommend this book and every book this author has written.
This is the second book in this series which is just as awesome as the first. I think this series just keeps getting better and better with each book. I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help your enhancement of this series and the characters. This is an author I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are well written and they pull me into her stories right from the beginning. This book is no different. It is fast paced and hard to put down. The characters not only are relatable but also give life to the story. Enzo and Sofia have struggled with their relationship through tragedies and are about to learn that secrets won’t always stay secret. As enemies are out for blood, Sofia finds herself turning to the one man who vowed to save her. I really enjoy these two and what they bring to the story. Their growth and chemistry throughout the story just adds to the plot. This is a must read book and series. I highly recommend this book.
Amy McKinley has proven once again that she is one of the best romance writers out there today. The way the characters interact gives the reader the ability to perfectly imagine them in real life. The scene set up is so realistic and thought out that the events seem to be happening right in front of your eyes. Arranged marriages are a way of life in some cultures especially for those with daughters looking to increase their family fortune or power. So, it is no surprise that Benito Brambilla only keeps his daughter around for just that purpose, after all the mafia is a dog-eat-dog kind of world. Though enter Max who comes in with a suspicious background looking to mess up whatever plans Brambilla and is dad Antonio have in the works. At first it was a save Liliana scenario and reconnect her with her grandpa on her mother’s side and bring Antonio down for what he did to Max and his mom. As the tangled web starts to unweave more secrets slip out and more truths come to light. After all who really is Max? Who killed Liliana’s mother? Are Max and Liliana destined to be another casualty of a long-standing mafia war between two of the five families? This is a must-read book that will answer all these questions and leave you hungry for more. I cannot wait to dive into the second book in this series, they are that good!

This amazing author has done it again! I loved the first one in this series, and this one was certainly no different! I was so excited to read this novel, and I could not contain my excitement! The first book in the series I found shared a lot of back story and certain traits and those very traits came to light when reading this one! I was so hooked and the suspense as well as romance was real and truly addictive!
This one we follow mainly Sofia, (I loved her character by the way) she is living what she always wanted and that is to be a Fashion Maker/Designer. I mean this girl worked hard for it right, I mean nothing is going to come up that could potentially get in her way now would it? Throw in Enzo, very close best friend, who has the affection for Sofia as she does for him. Best friend, but dare not be lovers as they know their places in life, and that is a rule that must not be broken. Enzo is her protector though and will stop at nothing to keep her out of harm’s way. As the past resurfaces from the ground, Sofia is pushed into Enzo’s arms. Sadly, will he keep her safe even when her past comes up and stands between them?
For me it was not only the main characters, as well as the side characters that made the story. It was the suspense and how everything you want is here, but what did you do to get where you are? Was it worth the spot light knowing you still could lose it all? The passion was very real as much as the suspense, and this novel with the dangers and fighting to live, fighting to love, and fighting to see another day was a strong appeal for me in this novel. I was completely engulfed as I was reading and I wanted to know more and more and I could not stop reading seriously! It was very much well written! Amazing read!
In conclusion, I could say I was breathless as if I was running from a crime scene myself. Fear of what would come of Enzo and Sofia not only for their lives, but also for the very possibility of them being together with all surrounding them was constantly at stake, and I kept hoping for a positive outcome! I loved the writing, the story was amazing. Defiantly a must read and high recommendation from me!
The story of Enzo and Sofia. What an action-packed story! I can’t give away any of the story. You MUST READ THIS book. Starting from the beginning,, you are pulled into it by the memories of the childhood they went through and then through the trials and challenges they have when Ivan comes into town. Man, these two have been through so much together. If you read BLOOD OATH (book 1), Max and Lil will pay a visit. Enzo and Sofia have go through so much and they did a blood oath when they were younger. This is a true power couple. This is one of my favorite authors because she writes all her main characters so strong and capable. The writing is so well-developed. The action never fails to suck you in and hold you captive until the end. Give this series a shot. This is the second book and it is so worth reading. Highly recommend.
Tragedy brought them together, and tragedy tore them apart.
Heir to a throne, Mafia underboss Enzo Vitale will do anything to keep Sofia safe, but his presence puts a target on her back. No matter how hard he tries to stay away from the love of his life, the blood oath that binds them demands otherwise.
Up-and-coming fashion designer Sofia La Rosa fell in love with her best friend. She’ll sacrifice anything for him, even as a wall of secrets grows between them.
But secrets don’t stay hidden forever. When the enemy learns of Sofia’s involvement in a former cover-up, they’re out for blood, driving her to the very man who vowed to be her savior no matter the cost.

She lives in Illinois with her husband, two daughters, two sons, and three mischievous cats. You can find her atwww.AmyMcKinley.com
This author has done it once again. I love how each book I’ve read by her not only gets better but she does a great job of balancing just the right amount of action, suspense, and romance. No way out is the first book in the mafia elite series and is focused on Max and Liliana. The circumstances that bring them together are not ideal in any way but told through each POV you’re able to grasp how each one feels. I love that the author does a great job of giving each character a tragedy that motivates their part of the story. You can tell that each character including the sub characters are a little broken but the journey to the end is well worth all that makes you feel distraught. Max is what I like to call a man’s man meaning he’s tough, he is strong, and I view him as the kind of man you could just feel safe in his arms. Liliana is a strong female character who is very no nonsense. She knows what she wants and is willing to do whatever it takes even if it means her own peril. This author does not tell a story with a ton of fluff or extra unneeded hoopla which makes it 100 times easier to get into the story and the characters which I greatly appreciate. If you enjoy a good romantic suspense book, then you will want to pick this up immediately. The characters are strong, the action is immense, and you will immediately feel as if you’ve been transported into the story. I’m looking forward to book 2 in this series.

Check In (Bobbins Sisters Series Book 2) by Debra Parmley is a romantic suspense story. A stalker on the prowl, a bank robbery, some mystery, a little intrigue and some suspense and romance that round off the story. I would have liked the story to be longer though. I think the author’s writing style is better off aimed for a younger audience, NA, or YA perhaps. The romance is sweet, and the characters were likeable but the chemistry between them was lacking. It just wasn’t a page turner for me. That being said, it is just my thoughts; you however may love it. Reviewed by @jennadb

I just finished No Way Out. Wow. How so many families intermix and become enemies and allies. Lilianna is the daughter of mafia boss Benito. She is property and nothing else. She is to be used as a pawn to ensure alliances and power are gained. In the background forces from another side are trying to bring Benito down and save Lilianna in the process. This book had so many twists and turns. Just when you thought you knew what was going to happen, you get turned in a different direction. Author Amy McKinley did an excellent job bringing you into the mafia world. Going to be reading book 2. That’s a guarantee.

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink is full of dark romance and suspense.
Every day, she reminds herself of a popular proverb: What does not kill us makes us stronger. People believe she lives an ideal life with her perfect spouse, but they are unaware of the reality. She was easily crushed — shattered, just as he intended her to be — like the fragile petals of the daisies he liked to gift. She has learnt to accept the situation as it is, but she will not allow it to ruin her. Instead, she does the only thing she knows how to do in order to survive: she runs.
He was certain she had a tale to tell. He was aware that it was going to involve violence, but he had no idea the atrocities she had endured. He’d waited so long, and she’d been through so much. Her scars were more than skin deep, yet she was exquisite in every way. It was nearly difficult to tell the difference between truth and lies, but he knew her secret. Nonetheless, he couldn’t help but want to go closer. She was powerful, and strength had its own beauty. It drew him in — and she drew him in. He wished to remove her nightmares and provide her with something fresh to fantasize about.
I loved this story and the concept of it as well.I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is the first book from this author and I can’t wait to read more.

No Way Out is the first novel in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley.
To protect the granddaughter of his mentor, Max, under disguise he invades the Chicago Mafia. His plan is to get revenge on those who have wronged him, but once he sees her, the plans change.
Under her father’s control, Liliana, has no escape and is only a pawn in her father’s quest for power. Meeting Max may take her from the prison of her father to another prison.
I didn’t think I was going to like this as much as I did. I do not read Mafia storylines all that much but when I do, I do enjoy them.
Liliana was a force to be reckoned with and I loved her strong character. Her relationship with Max as well as the progression was great to read.
I look forward to reading more of this series. I hope the second book releases soon.

There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing, as well as some romance, so there’s a little bit for everyone. Of course, there is also lots of action to be had. Even though I’m more of a sci-fi/fantasy reader, this easy read was a page turner that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Amy Mckinley is starting to become one of my favourite authors. This book was brilliant I could not put it down. Liliana is the daughter of the Mafia boss and Max is assigned to be her bodyguard. But she isn’t allowed to choose who she wants to be with, her father has a marriage arranged for her but it is only for his gain. Maybe yet she can’t fight the pull towards a certain sexy bodyguard.

This book was amazing! Revenge at its finest. Kel O’Connor has woven this tale that is original, suspenseful, and a complete page turner. The characters were well developed and you could easy relate to each of their plights. Amy is tormented by guilt regarding her sisters death, and becomes obsessed with getting revenge. With constant emotions of guilt and pain she is estranged from her family who she believes finds her to blame. When her team accepts a case that is related to the very drug lord who murdered her sister she becomes closer to catching the killer and getting her closure. What she does not expect is Hugh the man who hired her agency to be someone who brings out her lust and possibly even her love. With many twists and turns this dramatic and suspenseful story will have you unable to put this book down until the end.

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Amy I would say was obsessed with revenge, she wanted justice for her sister. When she is hired to investigate some drug smuggling she finds her opportunity to finally get what she has been waiting for…Revenge.
Hugh is the lawyer that hired Amy. He wants to find out who is smuggling drugs into his mother’s charity. The more time they spend around each other the closer they get. There is something about Amy’s strength that Hugh really likes.
Will Amy get her revenge?
Overall this was a great read, I highly suggest reading book one so that some things make more sense in this book. We get suspense, action, danger and so much more. We get twists and turns and secrets that add a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

Three years prior, Amy Stuart’s sister dies and she has been blaming herself since. When Amy is hired to be part of the DAG Team to find out who is smuggling drugs into Hugh Bainbridge IV mothers charity, Amy wants revenge. Will Amy get the revenge she so desperately wants or will love get in the way? I really loved this story, the character and suspense!!! It is so hard not to give so much away, but this is truly a fantastic book!

Unsettled Scores (DAG Team Series Book 2) by Kel O’Connor was a very interesting spy novel with a main character that puts the likes of Jason Bourne to shame. The spy novel had everything a spy lover needs including a character with amazing spy skills, grief, a rich playboy, revenge and family entanglements, that will all keep you flipping the pages quickly. While this is book two I personally hope this story isn’t done because I loved Hugh and Amy so much that I want to see their story continue. While I haven’t read any of Ms. O’Connor’s work yet I will definitely be reading more. Her writing flowed so effortlessly, and her plot was so perfect that I couldn’t help enjoying her story. So if your looking for a good book for this weekend I highly recommend Unsettled Scores (DAG Team Series Book 2) by Kel O’Connor.

This book hooks you from page one. You are instantly drawn into the world of Cammie and want to know everything right away. It very much has classic TV drama vibes and I could easily see this being made into a Lifetime Movie. Definitely a page turner that makes you want to continue reading with no regard to the outside world. There are twists and turns in every chapter and just when you think you have it figured out, another twist smacks you in the face. I really hope that Ms. Burson continues writing Cammie and Grant’s story because there is so much more to be told with these two characters.

Unsettled Scores: Book 2 of the DAG Team Series by Kel O’Conner
This is the first book I’ve read by O’Connor. It certainly won’t be my last. Unsettled Scores is an amazing book. Amy and Hugh will leave you with mixed emotions.
Amy is finally where she wants to be. When she wants out due to her anger she finds herself back in Atlanta. Cue where she meets Hugh and all his glory. The quote I chose for Amy is: “I wanted to gut the bastard behind the abduction. I didn’t catch him; he seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. Most likely thanks to his boss moving him to another state. After Audrey died, I went too far trying to corner the Duke and was placed on indefinite leave from the force. That’s when DAG approached me.”
Hugh has recently lost his father and thanks to that it left him with a ton of money. When he meets Amy things are changed. He fell for her although he isn’t sure how she feels. The quote I chose for Hugh is: “Nah. I don’t know. I’ve yet to make a decision on it. I’m flying by the seat of my pants. Feels good to be doing something to make a difference. Seeing what Neddra and her friends are accomplishing energizes me. There are situations that cannot be helped by only throwing money at it.”
