Slow-burn romance
This book was a great find. The story has a depth in characterisation that allows the reader to connect easily and to get a better understanding of the decisions that were being made. There was a realistic balance between the drama, angst, suspense and romance that made for a very strong storyline. There are time jumps within the book but I felt they were handled very well. I love dual POV but this author weaves this in an interesting way that was clever and not too distracting from the overall flow. If you are a romantic suspense fan this is one not to be missed.

Oh I just adored this book. Kylee Parker is a Philly police officer. She is strictly by the book and all about following the rules. Jayson Donovan on the other hand is on the other side of the law. The chemistry between these two flies off the pages. How can two people with totally different backgrounds find a common ground? Will the flames ignite them or destroy them?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Devil and his ice queen turned her love and his princessa. They were hooked to begin with but a war came up. Family protocols shake up everything. Encino is my least favorite character! I enjoyed that there were spicy moments in this book but there is a very good detailed story line that is more important. Adrianna has her story and past and Salvatore is aware of it as soon as they meet. My heart breaks for Adrianna and the life she has had but it has made her into an amazing woman! I haven’t found a mafia book I haven’t liked yet but I love this one and has to be one of my favorites.

This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. I have read every book by this author and they just keep getting better and better with each book. One of my favorite things with this author is her writing style. Her ability to pull me into the story from the start and bring a story to life is awesome. This book is no different. It is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. This is a dark, friends to lovers story that is full of steam and action. This is an entertaining story that is hard to put down. A story that you don’t want to miss. There is great growth throughout the story by the characters as well as the plot. I loved reading this book. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I am a huge lover of dark mafia romance novels and this one WAS AMAZING! The way that this author wrote this novel and was one of the best series books I have read to date. The way the story line was moving was one that was great and had me holding my breath at certain points and finding myself needing to read faster to find out what happens. This is going to be one series that as they start coming out that I will for sure add to my constant read list. The way these characters are and interact with one another was DIVINE and such a great read!!

A Love Restrained
By: Becky Flade
5*

This book is such a good, quick read that I found myself relating to in so many aspects. The characters were so believable and relatable. It’s a story about how people’s experiences and perspectives influence our path’s in life. It also is about when the past comes crashing into the present. Finally, it shows how the things we always thought, might not always be true.
Ky works for the police. She has a loving family and has all the support in the world. However, her past comes crashing in around her when she makes an arrest. The man that she is arresting is Jayson. Jayson is a local drug dealer who is part of a large drug ring. However, he is also her childhood crush. The boy who broke her heart.
Jayson has always fantasized about being with Ky, from the time he was really young. He had an awful home experience and Ky’s family truly influenced him in a major way. He didn’t mean to break Ky’s heart. In his eyes, she broke his heart.
When they reconnect the sparks are instant. They both remember what they used to have. Jayson really wants to try having a relationship with Ky. But will their jobs hurt their chance of being able to have the relationship they desire. Are they willing to risk everything to be together?
This is truly the epitome of a good girl / bad boy romance. And man did I love it. I truly recommend that anyone considering reading this book do it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

She hates him and what he stands for, but how do I get his eyes from staring at me in my dreams.

I saw her in the hospital and she intrigues me, her sassy nature draws me in but who is this woman who has snuck inside and I can’t let go.

This is the first book I have had read by this author and omg it is brilliant. I loved the way the characters interacted with each other and crated the tension and darkness the story oozed. The story itself was well written and created the tension and passion to hold you until the end.

This story twists and I loved the way the author weaved through the drama and the secondary characters added to the depth of the story.

I love this genre and I can say that this is one of the best written and developed stories I have read to date. I will definitely be reading the next in this series and more books by this author. Thank you for drawing me into the world of the Larussio family and more.

I love Ellie and Raf’s story so much! Raf is best friends with Ellie’s brother. She’s the younger sister. They both have had feelings for each other for SO long but never acted on it. Raf always made sure to look out for her though and was always there for her and a little overbearing, lol. The backstory for Raf is pretty deep, I wasn’t expecting that. But I love it at the same time. He doesn’t think he deserves anything good..because of his past. Book took a turn I wasn’t expecting either! Suspenseful about 70% into the book and it’s SO good. A lot of angst in the beginning and a lot of spice 😉 towards the end. Great characters and great story! Read this in one sitting!

This was a great 5 star read. And a great start to a new series. I love mafia reads and this one did not disappoint. Adrianna was feisty and clearly did not like Salvatore in the beginning, by the way she was acting at the hospital. There was something about her that caught Salvatore’s attention. You could feel their chemistry coming off the pages. We get a mix of dark, romance and mafia danger all in one great story. I was pulled in right from the beginning and didn’t want to put it down. I loved Salvatore, he was a hot alpha male that always got what he wanted. The author does a great job with her writing. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get reading today.

Curse of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords Book 2)Curse of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Curse of the Elf Lord is the second intriguing book in the Kingdom of the Elf Lords series by Heidi Vanlandingham. It is a fantastic fantasy full of paranormal elements, romance, elves, shifters, magic, action, danger, drama, emotion, adventure, superb world building, challenges, past history, interconnected details, complexity, depth, family, a quest, and high stakes.
After reading the first book, ‘Return of the Elf Lord’ I wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity to read this instalment. I had high hopes for what it might contain- especially after finding out about the curse that turns an Elf into a werewolf… I was already hooked by at that stage and my anticipation was set on high. After excitedly diving right in, I was soon engrossed in all the intriguing developments- and devoured every word. I was so happy that the story turned out to be every bit as good as I hoped it could be, and more.
I can’t wait to read Cyran and Shalendra’s story, Book #3 in the series!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Heidi Vanlandingham!

WOOT!!! She did it again!!!
Another feather in this talented author’s cap!
Boss’s Vendetta is the first book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. This is a fantastic start to a new series, but is also a bit of a nod to ‘The Larussio Legacy’ series as this first instalment gives us Salvatore Larussio’s story- and wow, what a story he has!
It is a fantastic dark mafia romantic suspense with an enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity element- as well as danger, intensity, drama, action, chemistry, sizzle, agendas, mafia politics, high stakes, emotion, and more.
As I have mentioned so many times now, I have read all of Via Mari’s book and have loved every one of them. She never fails to deliver a sexy and enticing read that keeps me glued to the pages as all the gritty developments unfold. And this story didn’t let me down!
With wonderful characters, superb chemistry, attention to detail, as well as palpable suspense cleverly woven throughout the plot… all this gripping tension definitely had me on the edge of my seat- avidly reading to discover how it would all play out.
Well Done!
Bring on Book #2!

Thank you, Via Mari!

All I can say is WOW! When I started reading this book I thought it was a romance novel but as I made it further into the book I could tell it was much more! This book started as romantic suspense to a new high with fast-paced, action-packed twists and turns. The book follows two main characters, Kylee and Jayson. They come from two very different ways of life. Jayson is from an abusive alcoholic low income family. At the same time, Kylee comes from a large supportive family.
Kylee and Jayson finally stop fighting the physical and emotional attraction they have had all these years for one another things start to become more complicated. When Kylee gets jumped because of her job as a police officer and Jayson is about to blow his cover as a DEA agent he must leave Kylee alone in the hospital recovering from a horrific attack that left her almost dead.
I love that the author jumped to the future in the story to continue the story at a turning point! I can’t wait to read more from this author!!

This book was incredible with some great twists and turns at the end that really jump out at you. Salvatore, the next likely Don of his group, keeping a close eye on Adrianna, the new doctor of a nearby urgent care in his mafia’s territory. It was unexpected, but reading about how the big, bad “devil” develops a big soft spot for the feisty doctor was brilliant. Also, having both view points of the 2 main characters was so nice to have! My only wish was for the steamy scenes and action bits to be a touch longer, as it feels right when it gets good, the tale moves quickly along to the next big event. Super good!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially since it’s the first book that I’ve read from this author, and was not disappointed. It’s a dark, mafia romance book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark, mafia romance books. I was not able to kit this book down until I had finished from beginning to end in one sitting.
A ruthless mafia boss with a score to settle. A sassy heroine who’s not getting away. Will any chance at love survive the aftermath?
We knew the bloodbath was possible, just not when or how our enemies would strike. In a heart-wrenching minute of blazing guns, the responsibility of getting retribution for the savage Italian Crime Family falls to me, Salvatore Larussio.
The fair-skinned beauty should focus on doing as she’s told and been trained to do. Suture and bandage quickly to stem the flow of Larussio blood. Instead, Natasha boldly defies me, trying to appeal to decency that after today no longer exists.
A man surrounded by fear and deception can sense it, feel it, and smell it in the air. There’s far more to Adrianna underneath that icy exterior than she wants me or anyone to know. Despite that, she calls to my tainted soul as though she were put on earth just for me.
When I force the hot-tempered beauty to reveal her secrets, it can be our undoing, or a means to an end for a newly appointed Larussio King.
Or a revelation that will kill even the deepest of love.
Boss’s Vendetta is the explosive first book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. It is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, mafia romance. You will love these novels where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each book is a standalone that focuses on different couples in each book. They all have a guaranteed happily ever after, at the conclusion.
I’m excited to see where the author takes this series. I will be reading more of her books shortly.

As soon as I saw another book by this author I knew I had to start it straight away as all her books are so good. And this series is clearly going to be no exception. I was pulled into this book so easily. The story, the characters, it really does have it all. The book is full of suspense. I didn’t know which way it would go at any point, but I couldn’t wait to find out. I had too see how everything would turn out.
I loved the characters too. Their connection as intense and so real. I was drawn into them and it was like I couldn’t look away. Even after the book had finished I wanted to know more about them. If the rest of the series is as good as this book then I think we will be in for a serious ride, and I can’t wait to see what else is in store.

Salvatore knows he needs to take over as the Mafia Don, the latest threat to his family put everything in motion. With a Doctor on hand Salvatore is aware that Adrianna, is not a fan of him or his family. Something about the sexy Doctor with attitude to match pulls at him. He takes his shot with Adrianna, it is inevitable to not act on the chemistry but is Adriana everything she appears to be?

There is a lot to unfold about this story and definitely had me guessing what would happen. Fast paced read full of sizzling chemistry, action and intrigue. Salvatore is a complicated man whose personality radiates of the pages. Great match with Adriana. Really good book, highly entertaining.

A Love Restrained (Philly Heat Series #1) by Becky Flade

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. This book is amazing and I will be looking forward to the next book. A Love Restrained is the first book in the Philly Heat Series.

Kylee is a cop and when she sees a drug deal go down she chases the dealer. Then she realizes that she knows him. The one who broke her heart in high school. Now she’s got to figure out if she can handle what he does. The quote I chose for Kylee is: “No. I don’t. I felt small when you shut me out of your life today. It hurt me to think you were ashamed of me, of us. What we have, and I don’t know what it is or where it’s going, but it felt less. I felt less. I’ve been doing the same thing to you. I know that now. I’m sorry for it.”

Jayson comes from a bad childhood. When he runs into Kylee Parker. Officer Parker. He wants her, but doesn’t know if he should get involved with her. She’s a cop. He’s not a good guy. The quote I chose for Jayson is: “No! I’m ashamed of them. I spent yesterday with your family, and they’re perfect. So what do I do for a f***ing encore? I bring you here to see mine? To this— freak show? I don’t want their ugliness anywhere near you. Near us. I don’t want you to see what I come from.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 1 in the Scilian God’s series. This is a dark Mafia Romance and I loved it. As you would imagine with a Mafia Romance there is a lot of danger and intrigue, there is also a lot of passion and fierce protectiveness of the family and the women they love.
The connection between Salvatore and Adrianna is definately hot and electric. At first it’s not so much love as a hate relationship
Salvatore is a strong and powerful don. His main focus in on family business and protecting his Mafia family from harm. He seems cold and ruthless with no time for love and at times it seem like he has no capacity for love. That is until he meets Adrianna.
Adrianna is the doctor hired to take care of the patients at the hotel. Her job is to take care of the family without asking questions. She is a strong willed independent woman who doesn’t take kindly to a man telling her what to do or how she does it.
However the spark and connection she feels with Salvatore is too strong to ignore or turn away from.
However she has secrets and these secrets could threaten their romance and even cost her, her life?

What will happen if Salvatore let’s Adrianna in? Will he lose his focus and risk his family? What will happen when Adrianna’s secret is revealed? And how do you deny and connection and spark that is as powerful as the one between them?

I loved this story and I can’t wait to read more in this series .

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a wonderfully heartwarming romantic suspense novel, with a forbidden romance element and a bit of a mystery added to the storyline, making this is an enjoyable and engaging read. Set in a small town, Moon Harbor, Raf is known as the quiet and reliable friend who doesn’t cause trouble, but Raf believes he’s cursed. He refuses to get close to people because they tend to get hurt when he does. Raf definitely does not want to hurt his best friends sister, Ellie, who has been treated as delicate by everyone following the death of her parents, but Ellie wants to live her own life. Ellie has secretly loved Raf, her brothers friend for years but he just sees her as his best friends kid sister, or so she thinks.
However, neither of them can deny their sizzling chemistry, but just as their friendship develops Raf’s tragic secret past comes back to haunt him, and threatens everything as their town is put at risk. More worryingly Ellie is in danger, the couple need to save each other and hope their love survives. Raf and Ellie are likeable and relatable characters who I felt instantly engaged with, and the descriptive narrative really brought the setting of Moon Harbor to life. I look forward to reading the previous books in the series, having enjoyed this one.

What a wonderful story. This may have been book 3 in the series but I easily read it as a standalone however I definitely would love to read the first two as I enjoyed this one so much. I love a forbidden romance read so this was definitely a great book for me, I loved the characters Raf and Ellie, they are the type of characters who you just connect with straightaway and I soon fell in love with them. Alongside the romance there was a nice mystery element going on. I thought the author did a great job with this – this is actually the first book that I have read by this author and I was really impressed with her easy to read writing style and as mentioned earlier I absolutely can’t wait to read more of this series by her.

I have read many a dark mafia romance as it stands, but this series has opened up strong and addictive, just like I like my coffee. I absolutely admire both these characters life pursuits, their ambition, and their want to make the world a better place, even when their world isn’t full of silver linings and rainbows. Salvatore and Adrianna clearly stoke each others fire’s and when they really get down to the nitty gritty details, they find each other more consuming then their separate paths have been.

This authors attention to detail, world building and character development is talent to say the least, and I will certainly be reading more of this series as it becomes available. I didn’t want to put it down, and I have to admit, this was novel was devoured as though it was a novella. Highly recommend if action, sexy scenes, and a whole bunch of sexual tension is your thing. Well done!

Boss’s Vendetta, first in the Sicilian Gods series, is gripping from start to finish. Via Mari perfectly captures jealousy and erotica in this mafia enemies-to-lovers romance, which features great characterisation, multiple point-of-views, and terrific world-building. The story follows Adrianna, successful doctor and strong, independent woman who knows how to put herself first, and Salvatore, mafia don with no heart and no soul. ‘Who could really ever love someone with a heart as black as mine?’ You can’t help but root for both characters and when you come to the end of one chapter, you can’t wait to start the next one. I highly recommend.

This book really held my grip, all the way through and then some! I could not put this one down. I was pulled in and held wanting more as I read, The author did an amazing job in bringing this to life!

The story was complex, as well as deep, but all in a good way. Strong characterization was a key point. Some darkness was aired through out the reading, but I found it helped make what the book was. Great take on a story line with Mafia. I was intrigued. Adriana Salvatore were written perfectly. I had hopes for them, despite their different lifestyles. I enjoyed the suspense and the story building as I read! Loved it!

Great read. Great start to a series, and I will be sure to read more by this author and the rest of the series. Not one to be passed up! Highly recommend this must read book and talented author!
