I listened to this on audible – I enjoyed it, but the romance wasn’t giving enough for me. The action was a lot more prominent than the romance! The writing style was intriguing enough to where I’m looking forward to further installations. The line between love and lust I feel was crossed a couple times – but it was well written. The SWAT Officer Mac – incredibly hot (in my head) and written to be the strong hero. And as a beautifully portrayed innocent Serena as a counter part. Watching Mac protect her, and try to figure out if the Demon Lords were actually after Serena or if they were looking for Macs soft spot. Ending up in a scary and intense situation (which I don’t want to spoil for you) Either way, Mac lived up his SWAT Hero title. It made it very interesting and I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. The suspenseful ending was phenomenal.

This is the first book in the Special Weapons & Tactics series. This is a Military Romance audio novel and is just over 4 hours. This story follows Marcas, a SWAT Sergeant, and Sarena, an ER nurse. Sarena just moved in next to door to Marcas and he cannot help but notice her. But his life has no room for relationships. Sarena has a thing for men in uniform and Marcas fits that bill to a T. Marcas cannot follow his own rules and ends up going over to her house with plans for her. The chemistry between these two is on fire. Unfortunately, there are some people that would like to exact revenge on the Sergeant and what better way to do that than to go after Sarena.

Oh boy! This book is not for the faint of heart! It is definitely for those interested in submission, kink, and the darker side of life
Felicity’s characters were well developed and by no means flat. It was interesting to be put in the mindset of someone coming to terms with a certain type of psychological warfare in their own head about what they know is right and how they feel.
The content and situations can definitely be a trigger for some people with: kidnapping, bondage, forced submission, and human trafficking. However, if there was a way to talk about those things classally, this book did it. I’m personally not very knowledgeable about some of these topics but I feel there is some truth to the way she portrayed things which made the story more believable and better.
There are side characters that I’m very interested in and would love to hear more about their stories. I have not yet looked into the other books that she has written but I feel like they will be well written and keep you engaged, just like this one.

This is a really good book. The characters are so well written. Especially Chase. With everything he does from his illegal dealings to his rich attitudes that he’s untouchable he is defiantly a character the you love to hate.
Chase has it all. He’s rich, he’s entitled and he thinks he’s better than everyone else. He has a dark side which most people don’t see. His involvement in human trafficking and illegal activities means he’s a dangerous man that no one says no too. That is until he meets Allegra.
Allegra comes from a completely different background. She has worked hard to get where she is and is a very determined young woman. So determined that she will not back down or bow to Chase in any way.
Chase isn’t used to this and it makes his attraction to her even stronger. Will Chase win her over? Will Allegra fall for his charm? Will his dark side scare her away and has Chase finally met his match?

Chased is the first book in the Cambridge Men of Honor series by Felicity Brandon. It is the first book I have read by this author, and it was very well written. The imagery used lets us envision the characters, and the scenes play out. At first it had a bit of a 50 Shades feel to it- rich powerful male, who likes to be in control; Young innocent female college student. But then it evolved, and we caught a glimpse of the mafia side of Chase. Allegra did not end up being what we expected, but I feel there is more to her story to come. The book has some strong themes, that I believe should have a reader warning. They were a little much for me. Without giving things away, sexual exploitation, rape, bondage, and kidnapping. Reader discretion is advised. The book was well written, and the author told a good, intense story.

Holy cow!! What a bombshell of a story! Brink of Denial is the first full length novel in the Sons of Sindicato series by Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus. After the way the novella prequel ended, I literally couldn’t put it down!
Dane is get set to take over the leader position of the Sindicato. He is trying to balance his love and hatred for his first and only love as she flits in and out of his life. When she decides to come back for good, will he be forgiving enough to give them another real shot?
Mila is a super model, supposedly having lived the dream. But when the dream turns dull and is really just a chore she is ready to leave on a high note, but when that high note is jeopardized, she has to come up with another plan.
The chemistry, the hot and cold, between Dane and Mila is intense! The feelings were real and you really felt everything the characters feel! I love the world that these authors built in New Jersey and seriously cannot wait for the next book!

Five Stars
I love when an author takes the questions they didn’t know you had and answers them. Throughout the whole series there was so much left unsaid. Until now we have the answers. The author gives so much in this last book that I felt none of my regret that it was over. This is how you complete a series. You give the readers what they need to close the book and smile. I really enjoyed the series. I recommend they be read in order. The climax is so worth the wait. The build up to the HEA is worth the stress of what’s next. Being an empathic person made Evie an amazing person. She gave so much of herself. You could feel how she felt through the pages. This story is just simply well done. I am definitely ready for what this author has coming up next.

BRINK OF DENIAL (SONS OF SINDICATO BOOK 2) by SONYA JESUS AND CAM JOHNS – Review by Krista Vaughan
Dane and Mila were almost inseparable until she decided she needed more. She left to be a big time model leaving Dane behind with a broken heart. Life in the Sindicato is hard and anything soft in Dane hardened after Mila left. She keeps coming back for a sleepover when she needs it, stringing Dane along. It almost makes me happy when Dane makes her work for his trust. The men of the Sindicato live hard, but they love hard, too.

This book is for those 18 or over due to the adult nature of the content within.
Dane Girodano is the son of the Giordano’s, one of the Sons of the Sindicato and he is also next in line for the seat at the head of the families, but the one thing he doesn’t have is Mila Blanc, a model living in California with the face and body every man wants and every woman wants to be and that is because 11 years ago, she left him brokenhearted for a life away from the Sindicato and everything that went with it. Now Mila Blanc is disillusioned with the life of a model and is just waiting for her contract to end so that she can get her payout and follow her new dreams, however, there is one complication they are an addiction and a vice that neither of them can kick and this could get them into a lot of trouble.
As Mila is trying to keep her head above water and tie up loose ends around her, she gets home after a stressful day and finds a friend there waiting for her with a hot meal cooked and pretty much on the table, however, when this friend finds her phone and sees that she has been paying a man a lot of money, he goes off the rails and goes to set the record straight. This does not go quite to plan and ends up escalating the tension between Mila and her blackmailer instead of calming it down and when reality hits that he can ruin her career easily so near to its conclusion, she decides to call an old friend to help her sort things out. Meanwhile, Dane is trying to sort out his own messes as they suspect that there is a leak somewhere in their operation and they have an idea who they can pump for information about it, however, the individual is not as forthcoming as they had hoped when fear and physical stimulus aren’t working, so they decide to change tact and play the waiting game in a bid to eek it out in another way.
As Dane tries to ignore Mila’s calls thinking that all she wants is more no strings sex and he is not in the mood for that in the slightest, he eventually gives in and answers the phone, however, when she asks for his help he reluctantly says yes and meets her at the time and place she requests of him. When he arrives, Mila fills him in on the details of what has been going on and why he is there, she has a plan and so they go to confront the man in question, but despite the beatdown and threats he receives, he is not letting go that easily and threatens Mila in a new way while simultaneously involving Dane, the Police and the rest of the Sindicato families. As this little meeting is going ahead, other wheels are turning in other areas of the Sindicato businesses which dredge up yet more questions than answers.
This is where Mila starts to miss her old life and the ways in which things were more simple and because of this, she decides that she wants back in with Dane and a second chance at something she thinks they both want, but will Sindicato business get in the way, or will Mila be able to take back control of her life and everything in it? Will Dane be able to forgive and forget, or will the past be too much of a raw and open wound to ever be able to heal? This is a rollercoaster of ups and downs with secrets, revelations, truth and lies throughout and you will become as absorbed in the Sindicato life as they are.

Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus have done it again, amazing does not even begin to cover how incredible Brink of Denial is. Brink of Denial has everything that a good Mafia story should including powerful mob bosses, the sons that will inherit it all, romance, family, drama and more. This book had me on the edge of my seat and these authors write so beautifully that they leave you longing to know what happens next. Brink of Denial was so full of drama and surprise that I personally can’t wait to see what happens in book two of the Sons of Sindicato series.

For me, this was the most beautiful book I’ve read in quite awhile. This book was beautiful as it brought to light just what makes Italy a great country. The scenes bring you closer to being in Italy itself as the author’s words transcend you there through the pages. The story wrapped around the scenery draws you in.

The depth of this book is thought-provoking from almost every point of view. The characters are so much more than what meets the page. My heart instantly breaks for Dane but the truth is that once he turned to that darker character, the more I got scared for Mila and who they could be. Their ride throws you down a deeper rabbit hole and I hope you’re ready for it. This book is full of action, intensity and a romance out of this world!

This is book 2 in this series. It contains the things I love, Mafia, danger and romance. The romance is steamy and passionate. There is a fine line between love and hate and we see that in this book. The characters are amazingly written that you feel so engrossed in their story.
Dane and Milana were ment to be together. Both members of families in the Sindicato they seem perfect for each other. However Milana wants away from the Mafia lifestyle. She wants to find herself so she does this by leaving the love of her life behind.
Fast forward 11 years later and Milana is back. She realises that her place is by Dane’s side. However after all the heartbreak she caused when she left Dane he isn’t so quick to forgive and move on.
Can they work through the past and be together? Will Milana accept the man he is today totally emerged in the Mafia lifestyle? Can Dane ever trust that he is enough for her or will they both set themselves up for failure and heartbreak all over again?

Sexy Drug is the first book in the Losing My Heart series by Melody Calder. It’s the first time I’ve read any work by this author but if this book is anything to go by then it won’t be the last. I want to know what happens next in this story for a start. Katie is the daughter of a very powerful crime lord and when someone tries to kill her, her father puts Ramone in charge of her safety with the added ‘request’ of do not touch her. That’s not an issue to begin with as both seem to seriously dislike one another until they get to know one another better. Needless to say Katie and Ramone become sexually attracted to one another but it’s more than his life is worth for him to even put a finger on Katie. Or is it? I loved reading Katie and Ramone’s story. It’s dark and raw in moments and not for the faint stomach in places. Let’s just say that I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of Katie’s father. He’s a very cruel and ruthless man and Katie is just a commodity to him. I was sucked into the story from the very start and devoured this in the space of a few hours. I just didn’t want to put it down. Definitely recommend.

I enjoyed this suspenseful romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. This is a well developed story that is written with a lot of emotion. The characters are relatable and give life to the story. I enjoyed being pulled into the story and how it kept me turning pages to the end. This is a story about overcoming the past, learning to trust again and finding love and happiness is possible. I enjoyed the growth of this story and watching the characters overcome things. Is overcoming the past too much for them or will happiness prevail? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with these characters as they bring the story to life before your eyes.

Sexy Drug is book one in the Losing My Heart series by Melody Calder. Dramatic from the very beginning, the pace stayed quick throughout the entire story. The story had many enjoyable and heart stopping moments. The storyline was edgy and gripping, keeping a reader on high alert awaiting the next event. With breathtaking danger at every turn, Katie and Ramone were on a treacherous road, but that did not diminish the intensity and passion that reigns between them. Their chemistry was electric and their journey went through many highs and many more lows. The author had a crafty way with words and played with a readers imagination and provided a titillating and unforgettable book. 5 stars.

I will tell you that Cam Johns does not disappoint with Brink of Denial. She knows just how to keep you on the edge of your seat and pages turning. Unlike the first book, where the story revolved mostly around Seth and his lawyer Braelynns romance. The second book digs through his brother Danes past with his ex lover after eleven years and her brother. Mila gets into some deep water and needs her ex along with the rest of the mafia family to help fix the problem and we all know what kind of crazy stuff that the mafia is capable of doing.

They are attracted to each other like a drug, but she broke him and now she is back, can Dane trust her again.
Dane is a dangerous man, next in line for the Sindicato but he has one addiction but she walked out on him eleven years ago but when he receives a call from her asking for his help can he really stay away from her.
Mila left eleven years ago and did not look back wanting to put her mafia princesses title behind she starts a fresh and becomes a famous model. One day she is blackmailed by an ex lover and as he starts to become a problem she decides to invite the past into the present but what will happen when Dane crashes into her world.
OMG, I could not wait to read this instalment in this series, after Seth and Braelynn’s story you get a peak at Dane but I have waited for his story to understand what smoulders under that moody exterior. At first I thought the character of Mila was spoilt and expectant of everything to be done for her but as the story goes on your get to see the kick ass woman she is.
The story flows and picks up in the middle of the first book, although this is the second or first full book in the series you don’t really need to read the first one to follow the twists and turns but it’s a great story and brilliant.
I love these characters and feel like I’m enrolled in the family and with each word your delve further and further into the mafia world. I can’t wait for the next book in the series and hope this story gets into the mind of Gia.

Brink Of Denial: A Dark Mafia Romance by Sonya Jesus & Cam Johns is the second book in the Sons of Sindicato series. I knew after reading book one that I absolutely had to read this book and I can 100% say it did not disappoint!!! I was pulled straight into this book and read the whole thing in one sitting. I loved the dynamic between the main characters and everything about their story. This collaboration between authors is definitely one of my favourites. They writing just melds into one and they seem to effortlessly create a seamless story. The writing is strong and without fail seems to capture my attention. This is a fantastic book and I cannot wait to read more from these two.

The Devoted Fan Book 5 21st Century Courtesan series By Pamela DuMond
In this the last book of the series we get to find out what happens to Evie, as the story that started in book 1 is tied together and we see that she has her “happy ending”. I don’t think that any of us could predict what happened in this book. For that reason alone made the book series a must read for all. Author Pamela DuMond, had twists and turns in each book that kept us thralled in each story until the end. I highly recommend each book, and a must read in order to fully get the story line.

S. DuMond – Review by Kimberly Griffiths
Red Coat is a well written thriller that focuses on the lives of Sara, a former foster child turned social worker, and Rachael, a young girl currently stuck in the foster care system. After running away from an abusive foster family, Rachael’s case is assigned to Sara. Startling similarities exist between the 2 girls, and they quickly form an unbreakable bond. Happy for the first time in her young life, Rachael longs for a family and a home. But when Rachael runs again, she leads Sara back to the one town from her past she was set on forgetting. Colin-the local sheriff-was Sara’s friend from foster care so many years ago. Seeing him again opens up doors Sara thought were long shut.
This thriller has a little bit of everything for the reader–romance, thriller, psychological aspects, family, and friends. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a hard to put down story that tugs at the heart strings.

I was so excited to read the second book in the series after the amazing first . It did not disappoint. It takes you back to the beautiful Honolulu where Jaxon and Kayla are wonderful together. Kayla was running from her present and ended up running smack into her past. Jaxon never stopped loving her and stepped up to help make things right between them. This story has everything you could want: action, romance, family and everything in between. I couldn’t recommend this more!!

This was the follow up to the previous book, and OMG was it great! I couldn’t put his book down! It was filled with even more mafia mystery, intrigue, and steamy romance. These two authors are amazing writers together as they pull you in from the very beginning. Their attention to detail makes the characters so relatable you feel like you have known them your entire life. As with the previous book, this one is packed with so much action and I found myself on the edge of my seat in anticipation. The main characters chemistry is off the chart. There were a bunch of surprises along the way that I wasn’t expecting. I highly recommend you pick up this book to read.

Chased is the first book in the Cambridge Men of Honour series by Felicity Brandon. This is a dark and angsty mafia/crime lord romance- but maybe not quite the mafia you may be expecting. I love Felicity Brandon’s books- so I was really excited to get my hands on this book and discover the Cambridge Men of Honour. While I normally love a good anti-hero, and devour dark romantic suspense- this story really frustrated me and I had a hard time connecting with any of the characters. Chase was arrogant, rude, controlling, and ruthless- wrapped up in an expensive suit and a sexy English accent. He should have had me swooning from the get go- as bad boys in suits are my weakness. But instead, he just annoyed me and made me angry. I am so sorry to say that- because I genuinely love Ms. Brandon’s writing- but this time this book wasn’t for me. I liked Allegra a little more than Chase- but ultimately not enough to sway my opinion of the book. There were aspects of Allegra and Chase’s relationship that felt forced and not believable. I had a few issues with the story, and I had trouble accepting that Chase would spank an inexperienced (in any kind of BDSM) prospective lover 75 times on the first occasion, out of the blue- and what followed with his ‘aftercare’ and her reaction to the experience just didn’t sit right with me-it felt ‘wrong’ and I can’t tell you why exactly. I really wish I could give this book all the stars, but I always give my honest opinion in any reviews I write. I apologise to the author for not loving it more- because it is something she has created and it’s obvious that she put a lot of thought, energy, and heart into it- so I appreciate her time and effort. Like I said, I normally love her books, and I really wanted to love this one far more than I did. I will revisit this book in a month or two, to see if I still feel the same way, or if I was just having an ‘off’ reading day. I do want to continue with the series- I am curious to see what Book #2 holds for us.

Sexy Drug (Losing My Heart Book 1) by Melody Calder was a great read! This book had some action, was full of crime, drama, and some romanticism. This book does end on a cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to see what happens next! There are several strings left to unravel this story. My only complaint is the point of views. They switch back and forth between Katie and Ramone, at first it’s hard to tell which perspective you’re reading it from. I wish that was done a little differently, but after several chapters I got the hang of it and could hardly tell. Other than that this was a great read and I can’t wait for the next installment!

Brink of Denial (Sons of sindicato book 1) Written by : Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus
Oh my word. Intense doesn’t even cover this at all. You have mafia, love, and family all wrapped in one. Milana and Dane have such an intense love that you want to yell at the two the entire book. Mila tried to run from who she is and the one who held her heart. Stubborn alpha Dane refuses to let her come back without making sure she fights for it. This book had me on the edge of my seat excited to see what happens next. I’m so ready for the next one!!

This is a great collection of stories written by eight great authors. Each story is different, original and brings romance and suspense to a new level. These are a group of authors that some are new to me and some I have read before. They are written with a lot of heart and emotion. One of my favorites was Her Dancer. It brought the suspense and the twists and turns to a new level for me. It pulled me into the story and I had to see what would happen next. These are a really great collection of stories that I think anyone would enjoy and it certainly will get you in the mood for Halloween. I highly recommend this anthology.

This is the fifth book in this series. I enjoyed this book as much as the previous books which I highly suggest reading as they are just as great. This series just keeps getting better and better with each book. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I am pulled into her stories with ease and kept engaged to the end. This book is no different. This is a well written story that has characters that make the story pop to life. They are relatable and strong. I enjoyed watching the growth with them and they just made the story for me. This is a story about Eleanor and Wes. Eleanor is looking for a new start which is when she takes a position in the Chase Center. What she wasn’t expecting to find is Wes and the attraction she feels for him. What will happen when she is faced with making a decision that could cost her more than her life? This is truly a great story and if made for such a great afternoon read. I highly recommend this book.

Dunn – Review by Bobbi Wagner
OMG!!! I just knew this would be amazing after the teaser in book 1. I am absolutely in love with Dane even though I could of shook him sometimes he was so nasty to Mila, but their connection was so deep and raw and secrets are uncovered about their past. Can Dane get past everything to let Mila sit in the throne with him? My Heart was racing reading this book and I could not put it down I was sucked in from the start.
