This book is the very definition of a psychological thriller. Its brutal, it will leave you raw, its twisted, and will tie you up in knots. And most important is the fact that its real scenarios. I wanted to hate Breaker, but his upbringing makes you understand why he is the way he is. This is one of those books that cannot be spoiled. The twisty turns will shock you but this book is awesome. And its quite a ride!! Buckle your seatbelts!!!!

Oh my god I absolutely LOVED this book!! Amy McKinley is one of my favourite authors so I was really excited to read this from her and it was everything I would expect from one of her novels! It may have only been a short read but it was jam packed full of story! The action started out straight away for Cade and Nadia – the main characters and I fell in love with them both straight away! I also loved that there was a little cross over between this book and the Gray Ghost series – but even if you haven’t read those it will not matter this story is amazing as a standalone! (I wholly recommend the other series though also!) Some great twists and turns in the story meant I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through – and for a short story, as mentioned earlier, I think that the author did an amazing job of creating such an exciting read!
This is another wonderful story. The story flows very well and the characters are intriguing. These two characters have met previously under dire circumstances. They have been looking for each other in the past two years. They are thrown together in a rehab program. Although all is not what it seems. I love the connection these two have. It’s easy to feel it coming off the pages. I enjoy seeing some of the characters we have met in past stories. This is a nice easy to read filled with danger, intrigue and love.
Brutal & Raw was a great very dark 5 star read and book one in the Beneventi Family. All I can say is this title was perfect for this story, it was brutal and raw and I loved it! I was pulled in right from the beginning.
She was known as 327, they never called them by their names because they didn’t want to humanize them. But there was something about 327 that drew Breaker in, he spent time with her specifically and told her things about the family. Knowing that she was getting too close to him and he was feeling things he shouldn’t Breaker had Butcher do his thing, BUT she got away. She wasn’t supposed to get away and now she knows things that could destroy his family.
Now she’s on the run and afraid he will find her, BUT the name he has isn’t really who she is. Trying to find her is bringing up more questions than answers. The longer it takes to find her the bigger the risk. Who is this woman that has captured his attention? Will Breaker find her before she tells anyone about the family secrets and destroys him?
Overall this is a very dark mafia read that could have big triggers for some. There were some scenes that had me cringing and pushing my boundaries to a new level. I loved hating Breaker but there was a little part of me that felt for the man. He is as dangerous as they come and doesn’t hesitate to show who the boss is. 327 has seen something in Breaker as well, something that was good and called to her. The secondary characters were great. There are several shocking twists and turns. If you like dark reads than this is a MUST READ for you, it’s hard to find authors that are willing to really push the boundaries and Sonya Jesus is one of them. I can’t wait to read more from this author and series.

After a car accident forces Cade off a bridge, underwater angel Nadia saves his life. When Nadia disappears after the rescue Cade fears he won’t find her again. Moonlit Mirage is an exciting story that kept me hooked from the very start. The author packs a lot into this short story, and I absolutely loved the characters of Cade and Nadia, they have a strong connection from the very beginning. There are some unexpected twists and turns throughout which make you want to keep on reading. I would love a follow up book to explore the characters more as they both have much more to give. If you are looking for a short story to devour in one sitting , I would definitely recommend this.
This book centres around the Beneventi crime family and their leader’s obsession with a girl that escaped him. This is a very dark book and not for the faint hearted, the subject matter is at times really gruesome and graphic and the concept of “the farm” is a bit disturbing. However, it is really well written and hopefully in following books the romance will come out a bit more.
The central story focuses on Breaker Beneventi and his, somewhat distorted, view of love for a girl he refers to as 327, a prisoner who he had developed feelings for (after kidnapping her) and then subsequently released. 327 (or Lyla) has found a safe-haven and is trying to move on with her life however this does not go to plan. I would like to learn more about Lyla’s past and see how this story develops as well as learning more about the other Beneventi siblings.

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley is a quick read novella introducing Nadia and Cade. The story starts with Nadia rescuing Cade from drowning after a car accident, but she is not there by coincidence. Five years later their paths cross again by chance and the connections that they felt is rekindled but there are secrets that are bound to come to light. I read this book really quickly as I was really looking forward to finding out more of Nadia’s past. I hope that there is a follow up to this book to learn more about the characters history and how this is going to present challenges to their future. This is the first book I have read by this author but will definitely be looking at her other works.
Brutal and Raw by Sonya Jesus was very difficult for me personally to read. It was very well written and a very entertaining story, but there should definitely be a trigger warning involved for some readers. The characters were very well developed, and the story does grab you and hold you. There was drama, romance and suspense, and for that and overall writing style I’m giving this novel 4 stars. Just personally, this wasn’t the novel for me. I will read more from this author though in the future.

TWO HEARTS UNLIKELY HEROES by Tamara Ferguson was an excellent read. I love hot Sam and Ben. Their story was exciting, full of action, and romantic. They were both developed well and had excellent background. The story itself had an easy to read and organized flow. I had no trouble losing myself in it.

This will keep you hooked and won’t let up until the last pages, its dark and thrilling and will truly keep you on the edge of your toes. The characters in this story are some that will challenge you, the feelings and emotions this story will bring up can be difficult to handle at times, but my goodness they will hook you. Breaker almost broke me, but in the end that went to 327. This has the makings of a great series and an author I will be keeping my eyes open for as what amazing writing.

This is book nine in this series and the best yet. I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning, you won’t regret it. This story is about Ben and Samantha. They meet in Iraq by chance but there is a strange connection between them. A few years later once again they run into each other. This time Samantha is avoiding him but why? They both have the same feelings for each other but Samantha can’t get past the feeling that there is more to Ben than meets the eye. When the truth comes out, is there a HEA in their future? They are strong characters that bring the story to life. Their story is engaging and well written, I highly recommend their story, a must read.
TWO HEARTS UNLIKELY HEROES (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 9) By Tamara Ferguson 5 out of 5 stars
The story TWO HEARTS UNLIKELY HEROES (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 9) is an amazing story to read. It pulls you in right from the beginning and I found that I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Captain Samantha Coldwell and Captain Ben Nash. They both have served their country with honor. When it is found out that terrorists have the facility and Samantha in their sites, Ben takes on the role of her protector. There is an attraction between Ben and Samantha. There are sparks between them. Will those who threaten Samantha be caught? What does the future hold for Ben and Samantha? Read this story to find out. This story at times had me wondering what was going to happen next. It also has romantic scenes and dialogue. It is a story that you don’t want to miss out reading. I highly recommend it.
When Wounded Warrior Captain Samantha Caldwell Is Being Targeted By Terrorists After Killing Their Leader In Iraq, Can AFOSI Agent Captain Ben Nash Keep Her Safe?
When Captain Samantha Caldwell’s team is hijacked by terrorists in Iraq, her quick thinking results in the destruction of both the munitions they were transporting along with the attacking insurgents. But her actions come with a cost, and Samantha is injured from gunfire after sending her team running for their lives.
Assigned to the team following behind, Captain Benjamin Nash has been warned that the intel provided may no longer be accurate, and their mission may have been compromised.
When Ben comes across a severely injured airman near the road while scouting ahead and discovering the wreckage, he manages to radio for a chopper. They’ve never met, but when Samantha momentarily regains consciousness, Ben feels a strange connection once they speak.
But trouble strikes during the rescue, and this time Ben ends up shot as the chopper is preparing to depart.
Two years later, in preparation to become an AFOSI agent, Ben is sent to a training facility in Crystal Rock, Wisconsin, and the last person he expects to see is Samantha, who’s working there as an instructor. Not knowing her name or rank, Ben had been making discreet inquiries about her for several months, trying to discover if the woman who’d been severely injured had survived.
It doesn’t take long for Ben to realize that Samantha is special, and he would do anything in his power to have her. But Ben is there pretending to be an airman since he’s been sent there for other reasons besides training.
Sam is feeling the same way about Ben, but she’s avoiding him as much as possible. Although she can’t quite put her finger on why she thinks Ben is more than he appears, there would be serious consequences if she entered a relationship with someone beneath her in rank.
But everything changes when Colonel Pierce meets with Sam and Ben and discloses Ben’s actual mission. Can Ben keep Sam safe from the terrorists who’ve targeted her after she apparently killed their leader during that fateful mission in Iraq?

Four Stars
I’m in tears after reading this story. It was too much to handle. I can’t really understand Lyla’s point of view. I have read where women fall for their captors but this is a new level of it. The brutality felt through every page. The pain and fear dripped from the authors words. I was in shock. The story was not bad I just can’t find the good stuff. I can’t give it away because that would be pointless. But to read what these women are going through and for her to love him anyway is a hard pill to swallow. Lyla is a brave woman to try and escape and survive. I understood her confusion when it came to Breaker. Through the whole story I disliked him. He never had any redeeming qualities. I applauded his actions toward the end. I say before you read this story prepare your heart for the tragedy. It was an interesting read because it’s a life I couldn’t ever imagine. It was a story I wouldn’t wish on any enemy.

Dark romance? Sign me up! I love a good dark romance! So I started reading this and after the first chapter I’m like “where’s the romance???” And this is way beyond dark…evil, gruesome, bloody, and I’m not sure what I’m reading! BUT – I keep reading and then I can’t STOP reading! I’m not sure what it says about me but I became totally invested in these characters!
My mother always told me I was attracted to guys who I thought needed to be fixed. I always see the good in people even when there isn’t any there. That is this book in a nutshell. I want to see the good…but there isn’t any there! Even if you think someone is good, they’re probably not!
There are so many twists and turns in this story and you’ll never see them coming! Trust me, you won’t be able to put this down and you’ll be left wanting more as soon as you finish the last page. But do prepare yourself to be swallowed up in the darkness that is Breaker Beneventi and 327 along with all the others you will meet between these pages!

Brutal & Raw: Mafia Romance & Psychological Thriller (Beneventi Family Book 1) by Sonya Jesus. Wow what a story!!! Honestly wow doesn’t even come close to how incredible this book was but it’s all I can think. I knew I was in for quite the story but this book blew me away with its twists and turns. I found myself ignoring real life to sink into this book, I simply couldn’t put it down until the last page and I was sad when I reached it because this story is so good! The characters are complex and unique I loved reading their story. I was completely hooked from start to finish. It’s dark and Everything I was wanting. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. If you’re looking for an edge of your seat ride take this book for a spin. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Wow, I was literally hooked from page one until I turned the last page of this psychological mafia romance thriller. This was a fast paced attention grabbing book by Sonya Jesus which I could not put down. The story centres around the Beneventi Family, a dark, powerful and dangerous mafia family. We are introduced to a female known only as 327, “327. That’s what he called me. That’s all I was to him”. Breaker Beneventi a handsome, powerful but extremely dangerous man with a dark side and a damaged soul takes a liking to 327 and tells her his secrets, secrets which could bring down his whole organisation if she ever gets free of him. Having ordered her death she is let go. However 327, knows this is just another twisted way of Breaker trying to control her with fear, knowing that he will be sending the ‘Butcher’ after her. Breaker searches everywhere for the, on the run Lyla Vaughn, but is that who she really is? No spoilers, you just have to read this book.
This is more a suspenseful psychological thriller than a romance, any romance there is has an underlying dark essence. The book is packed full of great characters, even if you don’t and can’t like them, such as the main alpha character, Breaker. It has an action packed storyline which had me holding my breathe in anticipation in parts and it is full of plot twists which keep you guessing so it’s definitely not a predictable read. Jesus is so detailed in her writing that the dark, twisted and dangerous world of the Beneventi family and the mafia as a whole is bought to life. “Breaker’s world is not light-hearted”, and I would say this book is not for the faint hearted either.
A great read which will have you up reading all night, I recommend it and I am looking forward to further books in the Beneventi Family series.

This was a dark and thrilling book that had me wondering what was going to happen next. Sonya was a new author for me, but I fell in love with her writing and her mind instantly. The two main characters were so strongly created I slipped into my favorite part of reading and became part of the story! I don’t want anyone to think this will be an “easy” read. It was emotional and the situations that our characters are put through are horrible. This isn’t your typical mafia romance story at all. With every twist and turn of this book I was held captive! It took me one day to read this. I will absolutely read the next book and will read everything by Sonya Jesus.

Brutal & Raw is Book 1 in the Beneventi Series by Sonya Jesus. Jesus is a new author to me and if this book is anything to go by then I’m sure this series is going to be outstanding. I absolutely loved this book. I was instantly gripped from the very beginning and was not let go until the story ended. Even then, I think I was still enmeshed in this fantastically woven tale. Lyla Vaughn has escaped from the clutches of mafia boos Breaker Beneventi and has no intention of ever being captured by him. So why does he still control all her thoughts? And why can’t she forget how good he made her feel at times? Breaker Beneventi has recently killed his mafia boss father and has taken over the family. His head is all over the place though and not totally in the game. The one woman who has ever interested him (Lyla, or number 327, as she’s known) has been allowed to escape and he needs her back, to kill her, as she knows far too many of his secrets. This is a fascinating tale, told from both POV’s as Lyla tries to evade capture by staying at a woman’s refuge and Breaker does everything possible to find her. The author does a fantastic job of keeping you on the edge of your seat, wondering what the hell is going to happen next. I can add that there are a few curveballs thrown that I never saw coming and totally surprised the hell out of me. I guarantee any reader will love this book if you like a good psychological thriller. I really could not put this book down and eagerly anticipate more of this series.

If you like Psychological Thriller, this is a must read. Brutal & Raw by Sonya Jesus.is just that a Psychological Thriller with a little bit of Romance thrown in the mix. Sonya Jesus does a great job of keeping me the reader on the seat of my chair. Not only this book a Psychological Thriller and Romance, but also a Mafia story as well. The characters are complex on many different levels. It was written with so many details that the images flew off the page. This is about a Mafia boss who told too many details of his life to a woman. The woman ran away and could expose the family with what she knows. What will the Mafia boss do to contain the woman and her knowledge? This a must read for all Psychological thriller fans

Brutal and Raw: Mafia Romance and Thriller Psychological Thriller by Sonya Jesus is the first book in the Beneventi Family series. This is an intense and thrilling book. It felt like for most of this book my heart was absolutely racing. The emotions were so raw and stripped back to the bare bones of what they are about. The characters were so dark and twisted, and yet strong and intriguing. I was drawn into them so easily and they captured my attention for the entirety of the book. This isn’t my first book by this author but it has to be my favourite one so far. It was a thrilling story and one I didn’t want to end. I cannot wait to read more from this series.

So before i get into this, I will say if you haven’t read Thirty One Kisses, read that first. Its an introduction of this family and will help answer questions that would arise in Brutal & Raw if you didnt meet them yet. This book, wow where on earth do i start? 327 is just a number and has somehow made her way into Breakers heart in a very fast amount of time. But being a mafia boss, a new one at that, he can’t have a weakness and he definitely doesn’t believe in love or feelings. 327, has many names in this story and I will call.her that as to not confuse in this review. She escapes a game and is now terrified of being found. As we see her grow a little in the months of hiding, we also see the pull she has to the man she should hate.
I can’t go into too many details as there’s twists and turns I didn’t see coming but just because you’re in charge doesn’t mean everyone listens to you or doesn’t have their own agenda to get to where they want to be. While a lot of things in this book were disturbing, it made connecting with the character a bit easier to me as if that was how I grew up, I would probably feel the same way they all did. I can’t wait for more in this series,and to see where it goes with the ending we get here.

I’ve read Sonya Jesus’s phenomenal Knight’s series before, so anything else by this author I knew was an automatic read, but I never thought this read would be better than them, but boy was I wrong!
This read is dark, suspenseful, psychological, it has romance and leaves me on the edge of my seat with anticipation wondering what could happen next. It is full of twists and turns that have you completely captivated and entranced with this read. This author had created incredible characters and a storyline that is incredible from the start and takes you along an emotional journey. What made this read even more thrilling was how mentally visual this read was, it was as though you were there alongside the characters, it was real, brilliant and I cannot fault it what so ever. I can’t wait to read more from this series and what is to come next!

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley. I love how so much was packed into this novella but it was still a smooth read. Characters are complex and well developed, you can’t help but feel a connection to them. I’m always in awe of this author because I love the well written storyline and characters that you keep thinking about well after you’ve finished reading. I love a book that takes me on a journey that keeps me on my toes and this one did just that. This may be a short read but it holds no punches and is one of my top reads for the year so far. Five stars all the way and highly recommended. I can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next.

This book had me hooked from the beginning!! Even though this is a shorter read it still has everything from, romance, suspense, twists and turns, and let’s not forget the wonderful characters. When Cade was in a car accident one night and was saved by Nadia he couldn’t get her out of his head. Nadia felt the connection between them as well and she risked everything by saving him. Nadia has a secret from her past that might jeopardize a chance at a relationship these two might be able to pursue after running into each other years later. This is a must read if you want to find out what happens between these two. This author is an exceptional writer and I always look forward to reading anything and everything she puts out. I can’t wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this book.

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley is a romance suspense and a quick read but a good read. It is a side story from the Gray Ghost series and mentions a couple of the characters. The suspense is immediate and enticingly throws you right into a new world with characters you just love. It is sweet and uncertain as we journey along and become a part of the relationship between our MCs as they struggle with a past that could keep them apart.

McKinley is rapidly becoming a one click author for me. This novella certainly helps seal that opinion. I always find her characters to be so well developed and the storyline to be incredibly fluid. I dive in head first and get sucked right in to an amazing story every single time. Loved this book from start to finish and cannot wait to pick it up for another read!
