Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley

This isn’t the first box set I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep readers entertained and keep coming back. Every book in this box set is amazing and I can’t wait for you to enjoy them.

Savage Secrets: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #4)

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s also not the first book in the series that I’ve read. Each Mafia Elite book gets better and better. Max and Lil, Enzo and Sofia, Stephano and Em, and now Marco and Elena.

Marco is the Mafia boss for his family. He’s also the one who is sent to get Elena. He wants her to be his, but she doesn’t know of his feelings for her. Things happen that bring them closer together. The quote I chose for Marco is: “Going somewhere? Chloe James? Don’t think for one second I don’t know you’re Elena. I’d recognize you anywhere, in any disguise. This freckle, the shape of your eyes, the pout of your lips, even the smell of your skin. You can’t hide from me. It doesn’t matter what alias you use. I’ll always find you.”

Elena has been dead for the last four years in order to protect everyone she cares about. So when Marco shows up she runs because she doesn’t know if he wants her dead as well. He takes her back home and she finds that she’s getting married. The quote I chose for Elena is: “I’m not thrilled about it. Who would be? I found out I’m half Russian and related to a Bratva boss. Not exactly my dream evening.”

Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #5)

This is not the first read by the author. This is number five in the Mafia Elite Series. Each gets better and better. You never know what you’re going to get or what to expect.

Summer comes home from work to find her roommate and best friend dead. She knows what she has to do and she runs. She knows her friend’s ex is after her. The quote I chose for Summer is: “Stop bringing that up. It was a mistake and the first time I’d ever been to that bar. I wish I’d never gone.”

Luc is about to get the shock of his life. He’s got a half sister that he doesn’t know about. Will he be able to do what they want him to do? The quote I chose for Luc is: “Get John on the phone and make sure the interior designer starts updating this floor first. I want those cubicles gone. And find out more about the executive assistant I have. I discovered early this morning that they didn’t disclose Edward’s assistant was on maternity leave and a temp has been working here for three weeks.”

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #6)

Another fantastic read by the author. Collateral Damage is the sixth book in the Mafia Elite Series. This time it’s Trey’s turn. Only this time she might not die.

Trey might just be getting his second chance at love. Hailey has done nothing wrong and she tugs at his heart. Will Trey be able to save her in time? The quote I chose for Trey is: “Be careful how you talk to me, Allen. You won’t like the repercussions. Make it happen with the board, and I’ll see what I can do about your daughter.”

Hailey goes to meet her dad, only she doesn’t call Allen her dad. She falls for Trey but can’t let it be known as she doesn’t want to get her heart broken. The quote I chose for Hayley is: “So you took on his crisis rather than tell him to shove it? He could have gone to the cops. I don’t understand why you got involved. It seems like this is more of a headache for you.”

Rivals: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #7)

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. So far every single book is amazing in its own way. This book tops them all though. This is the seventh book in the Mafia Elite Series. I really can’t choose my favorite book.

Mia comes from a different side of the mafia. She isn’t sure where to fit in only to find her love in the La Rosa family. She finds that her father isn’t really her father. The quote I chose for Mia is: “I’ve only been here, Chicago, and Grand Cayman. I’m not sure where I would want to go. Maybe Italy? It’s hard to believe I’ve never been there, being Mafia and all.”

Nico was engaged and then stuff happened. Now he’s trying to figure out where to go from here. He meets Mia and knows that he’s got to have her. Then stuff went down and now they’re putting their lives on hold. The quote I chose for Nico is: “My sister urged me to purchase property here even if I wasn’t ready to build. That’s ours. We can build a house whenever you want.”

Highly recommended for Mafia Romance lovers.

Mafia Elite Series Box Set Volume 2 (Mafia Elite Series Books #4 – 7) by Amy McKinley – Review by Angela Hayes

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Mafia Elite Box Set Volume Two contains Books 4 – 7 in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. This rounds out the series, so if you have yet to read the first three books, or Volume One Box Set, then I highly recommend that you do before starting this, Volume two. Yes, the books could be read as standalones, but together they provide a richer reading experience, as well as painting a larger picture, one you won’t want to miss.
This is such a stellar series- which just gets better and better with each new instalment, and I really am hard-pressed to choose a favourite from amongst them all because they are all so brilliant!
The series, and this box set, brings fantastic mafia romance- romantic suspense at its best, with plenty of action, danger, drama, intrigue, mafia politics, chemistry, passion, steam, tension, emotion, hidden agendas, dramatic developments, and so, so much more.
What are you waiting for? Grab yourself a copy and dive in…. you won’t be disappointed!

The Box Set contains:

Savage Secrets (Book #4):
Marco had thought his love died years ago. But he is about to discover that isn’t the case when he’s approached with an arranged marriage deal. Danger is circling and she needs his help if she is to cheat death for real. GAH!!!! Love Marco and Elena. Love this series so hard. One of my favourites. Each book just gets better and better! Highly recommended.

Ruthless Heir (Book 5):
Here we get his is Luc and Summer’s story- and WOW, Ms. McKinley certainly didn’t hold back with this story, keeping me on edge and completely invested in the characters and the story, right from the very beginning. I didn’t come up for air until I had devoured every word. I loved all the interconnected details, secrets, tension, danger, and intriguing threads that Ms. McKinley is weaving through her stories, and series. It makes for riveting reading. I am completely addicted, and I can’t wait for my next fix!!!

Collateral Damage (Book #6):
I was so excited that we finally get Trey’s story. And what a story it is… WOW! Another fantastic addition to the series, and it’s getting harder and harder for me to choose a favourite because they are all sooooo good. We have met Trey previously through the series, as he is Sofia (Book #2) and Marco’s (Book #4) brother. His family is ‘the mafia’. But Trey isn’t really involved in the family business on a day-to-day level as he is a doctor working in a local hospital. But that’s not to say he doesn’t ‘contribute’ when needed. Trey is called on to help out on a kidnapping – and becomes more tangled in the situation than he desired. Especially since he and the kidnapping victim have some pre-existing chemistry. Queue the sparks and sizzle. But danger lurks and things are not quite what they may seem. What happens makes for an exciting read.

Rivals (Book #7):
This is Mia and Nico’s story- and wow, you’d better buckle yourself in for this one. When Mia needs help, she turns to Nico for help… Nico is intrigued as she’s the ‘enemy’. There’s far more than their hearts at stake, and you know what they say about ‘no good deed goes unpunished’- so what happens here makes for quite a riveting read. You won’t want to miss this exciting story… but be prepared to develop a taste for Ms. McKinley’s stories. One book won’t be enough.

Seriously, if you love mafia romance, and/or romantic suspense, then you definitely won’t want to miss this exciting story/series!!!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Amy McKinley!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luc and Summer Are my absolute favorite couple ever I love they both come from a terrible background and have used that to their advantage to not just grow closer to each other, but they are also using it to integrate themselves into the mafia. I thought that these two had so much heart and I loved that you could see the progress of slowly joining the mafia life where they weren’t born into it.

I love that Summer is portrayed as a survivor and fighter it comes out in droves throughout the story and made her completely relatable to myself.

You could just feel Luc’s complete intensity and more than anything I fell in love with his protectiveness of Summer. This story felt even more realistic than the prior ones in the series I was excited to be introduced to even more families which I hope means the series will continue in one way or another for a long period of time.

One of the things that touched me the most was in this story you felt at the height of what it means to have family whether by blood or not. The bond that they all have with each other and are continuing to build brought tears to my eyes in the greatest way possible. It hit home the fact that family is who you choose. This author did a tremendous job and is becoming hands-down one of my favorite authors ever. If you like a great character built romantic suspense book you will find yourself 100% enveloped and enthralled in the series.

This is book five in the Mafia Elite series. This can be read as a standalone.
This is a dual point of view with Luc and Summer.
Luc Savino is the heir to one of the mafia thrones, he is successful and determined to become more powerful as he ascends. Summer Johnson is determined to leave her childhood problems behind her current job is helping but how long will that last for ?
I loved seeing Luc and Summer’s love story progress throughout the book. This was definitely dark, action-packed, suspenseful and steamy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ruthless Heir, Book 5 in the Mafia Elite Series throws a huge loop than the other pervious books. At first, I was not sure how I would like it considering it is bringing in two new characters that have not been introduced yet. The love story focus is on Luc and Summer. Luc being Lil’s long lost half brother, who has no idea he has a sister, let alone Mafia. Both Luc and Summer come from hard difficult childhoods, which is one of the things they bond over. The book focuses on Luc’s training to become the new Mafia Boss for the Brambilla Family and the new girl who he has dragged along with him, Summer. She is also on the run from another less powerful Mafia Family, the Amato’s. She keeps her cards close to her in hope that she Five Chicago Families do not turn her over. At first, Summer is there against her will, but slowly everyone, including Luc falls in love with her. As Summer and Luc work together every morning, their love connection grows so beautifully. Summer and Luc both fit excellently into the Five Mafia Families and are a great addition. Amy McKinley does a spectacular job at mixing adventure, mystery, romance and spice. I know I will not be disappointed in book 6!

Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite, #5)Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luc Savino is the heir to a Mafia throne, but he is unaware of that, he has success in in his life, a business he has built from the ground up and a determination which keeps him wanting more. Summer Johansson is a woman determined to be better than her childhood, she wants to have a life without worrying where the money for the next bill is coming from, or whether she can afford to eat, but her current temp job is allowing her that, although not by much.

When Summer was attacked in her home by a Mafia boss, she grabbed what she could and left, with little left and less opportunities in her future, she asked for help and managed to keep under the radar, that is until she found out her best friend had been murdered, she forgot her own rules and ended up in a bar and then the arms of a handsome stranger for the night, but when she wakes up and realised she is late for work, she panics knowing that this is not the day to be late. Meanwhile, Luc is preparing himself to meet the employees of his new company, as well as delegating out work he needs completing so he can get a better idea of the structure, personnel needs and future plans, however when he comes face to face with the mystery woman from the night before, he is determined to find out more about her.

As Summer races into the office, she sees her old boss being dragged out and shouting about something, but she is in too much of a hurry, however when she sees the new boss coming out of his office, she doesn’t know how to react and when she is about to bolt, he stops her and demands to how why she was about to leave and why her former boss was accusing her of being a spy, this is when she finds that her plan to stay under the radar is about to be blown sky high. Shortly after this, another Mafia boss enters Summer’s life, although this time it is because of Luc, the boss wants them to go on a plane to Chicago with him where he has somethings to talk to Luc about.

With all the lies which are flying around when they arrive in Chicago, Luc will not let sleeping dogs lie with Summer, but as they become closer, the attraction they are desperately trying to deny comes to the fore, but can they forgive the secrets and lies which lie between them? This is a dark romantic suspense which is full of action, emotion and betrayal as worlds collide and truths will out in this story which will keep you on the edge of your seat and hooked until you know what happens.

First off, I am a complete sucker for this series. I absolutely love it. I hope the author keeps writing in this world, maybe a spin off or something. Summer runs from one mob straight into the arms of another one but can she trust Luc even though he’s on still thinks she’s a spy for another company. This installment follows Luc and Summer from their one night stand to lovers. Read this gem to find out what secrets they uncover.

This is book 5 of the Mafia Elite series. I highly recommend reading the other books in the series first as you would be confused if the books were read out of orders and some things would also be spoiled.
This book focuses on the relationship between Luc and Summer. I enjoyed summer’s strength and her ability to stand on her own two feet despite life throws many curb balls at her. I also enjoyed Luc’s character arc and seeing him grow from self-made businessman into a mafia heir who has a family and is one of five families who run the Chicago mob scene. I’m excited to see what the author has in store for this storyline in the near future.

In this book we are introduced to two newcomers not only to the series but to the mafia. Amy blew my mind not only is she setting it up for hopefully some spin offs but she is expanding the universe while keep the same characters we fell in love with still a major part. This book is everything and is the perfect book to help those who found family later in life. The way this series is progressing has me on the edge of my seat and I can’t wait for the next book.

This is the fifth book in the series, and it is every bit as good as all of the other books. The way that they author writes the stories of the mafia boys, and their women is something that is just pure genius. I am not able to put these books down when I am reading them, and you will not be able to put it down either. I get lost in these books, and this series and I get so involved in reading it that I feel as though I am right there in the action with them. I cannot stop reading these books or saying enough good things about this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 5 of the series. Highly recommend reading the other books first as the overall storyline continues from book to book and some things would be spoiled by reading out of order.

This installation focuses on the relationship between Luc and Summer. Their relationship hits many of the romance tropes: (obviously) mafia romance, workplace romance, mistaken identity, one night stand to lovers, enemies to lovers, and more (which I won’t state because I don’t want to spoil anything). I enjoyed Summer’s strength of character and her ability to stand on her own two feet despite what life throws at her. I also enjoyed Luc’s character arc and seeing him grow from self-made businessman into a mafia heir who has a family and is one of five families who run the Chicago mob scene. I did enjoy the slow build up in their relationship despite their sexual tension, and their desire to wait to be together again until they knew one another more.

I wasn’t as big of a fan of this novel compared to the others in the series but I couldn’t tell you exactly why that was. I think it’s common to have favorite books in a series and ones that just don’t call out to you the same, especially when each book focuses on a different couple. I did enjoy both the romance and non-romance storylines overall, as well as how this novel fit in the continuing storyline of the series.

Sadly, no Katya in this one. I will hold out hope of her being a FMC in the future, though it does seem like the Bratva connection has ended for now as it was only mentioned in passing and this novel focused on some new New York based Mafia families. Can’t wait to see where everything goes in the future books!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great installment in this series! I enjoyed the dynamic of introducing new characters that don’t share the same origins as the ones I have grown to know and love in the other books. I would have liked more tension in the romance. It felt as though the romance when from uncertain to star crossed a little too quickly. Even so, the story was well written, and the mystery was intriguing. Though the backstories of the main characters in this series is different then I have seen in the other books, it is still heart wrenching. It helps make the characters fit seamlessly into the mafia families I have come to know and love. The found family aspects of the book were well down, and I LOVE strong women, which not only this book, but this whole series is full of. If you are knew to this series, I definitely recommend reading in order. Each book centers around different characters, but there are larger plot points and connections that you will miss if you do not start from the first book! Either way, if you are looking for a mafia romance with action, found family, fierce women, and protective men then definitely pick this series up!

I have really grown to be a big fan of this author, or so I thought. It wasn’t until recently that I stumbled across this series. I was happy to learn that even though I picked up several books in, it was easy to follow along the storyline. It read well as a stand-alone. I would be curious to read more from this series and learn more backstory from supporting characters. I felt like the writing is really strong with a fast storyline. Of all things, Summer was my favorite part of this book. She is a strong, likable character. I would definitely recommend this book to others and I look forward to

I love this series. I’m envious of the bond the woman have as friendships. Also the women and men’s relationships their love is a very special bond. I also love the action. Love the storyline for each series. How everything happens for a reason. Summer acts different because she is mourning in her grief. Which causes her to collide with Luc. Only to find out he’s her boss. Through all the grievances they have with one another they cannot deny they already have a bond with each other. Ends happily ever after with them married honeymooning.

Now that I have read this one and loved the story I will have to go back and read the first four. McKinley did a great job writing this story to where it could stand on its own. I want more of the Luc and Summer’s story so I am hoping that she will write more about them. I really liked how she worked all the characters into the story with a purpose. Evolving the women just as well as the men really added to the story. Can’t wait to read more by Amy McKinley.

A great story of the underdogs finding their way survive and come up on top! I loved that aspect of this book. It was refreshing! What starts off as a whoopsie, ends up being one of the best decisions Summer & Luc make! It starts their angsty and steamy roller coaster of a ride. In the beginning there’s tons of mistrust and secrets, but with time they see the truth and gain trust. Many curveballs and surprising moments. In the end everything happens to a reason and everything plays out as it should. Summer is welcomed with the wives & family and clicks with them instantly like she meant for that life all along!

As always, I read this book in one sitting, this author has a way with storytelling that makes me what to read cover to cover. I love her mafia series and this story is no different. The characters, Summer and Luc can handle anything thrown their way. Which is exactly what brings them together. First by chance and then by another chance. This is a stranger to friends to lovers kind of story. And it is pretty perfect.

“We were at a precipice. The lives we lived were over, and our next adventure had only begun.” ~Summer

This is exactly how life moves. From one adventure to the next. Childhood to adulthood. Marriage to children to empty nest. What will be our next adventure be? What adventure will this author bring to Summer and Luc?

“It was awe, love, and pride, and somehow seeing it on his features and allowing myself to feel it, too, released those emotions from the padlocked box inside of me. It was time to stop hiding from him and from myself.” ~Summer

Looking forward to the next in this series and wondering where the author will take us next!

In this next book of the series Luc is brought into the fold and offered his rightful position as a family boss and Summer, a temporary employee of his new company, is dragged along with him. She is running from danger created by the impulsive actions of another. Ending up with hanging out with a Mafia family while running from another is definitely not what she planned. She soon finds out however, there is so much more in common between her and Luc than she thought possible and that together they both may have just found the one place they truly fit in.
This author always keeps me on the edge of my seat while reading this series. Her talent for creating tough but heartfelt characters is truly amazing. I feel that this 5th book can be read as a stand alone but I HIGHLY recommend reading the other books of the series not only because they are fantastic but also because it will give you more insight into the storyline and other characters.

Ruthless Heir (Mafia Elite Book 5) by Amy McKinley. I absolutely love this series. This is the 5th book and I have loved each and every one! This one is the story of Luc Savino who has taken on a new business. He and Summer meet in an unconventional way but once they meet sparks fly! Summer is starting a new job and recognizes her boss as a one night stand from last summer. She wonders if this will make her life miserable. Luc now thinks she’s a spy for the other Mafia family. Little does he know but she is on the run from that other family. They have already killed her best friend. When Luc is taking a business trip he takes Summer with him thinking she is the reason money is missing from his bank account. Little does he know she is in danger and its the other family messing with his business. Will Luc and Summer make it out of this alive. I highly recommend reading the first 4 books in order to understand the characters better. Love this series!

Ruthless Heir is the fifth book in the Mafia Elite Series and my absolute favorite yet. I’ve been waiting for this book and man oh man it didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend reading this series in order if you haven’t already started each book helps in the understanding of what has been going on and you get to know the characters better plus it’s a really good series. From the moment I started reading I knew there was going to be no stopping until I finished. This is Summer and Luc’s story. He’s about to take over as the new Heir and shes fixing to be on the run. I really don’t want to give to much away. These characters have a chemistry between them and there is definitely attraction. Get ready to be taken on quite the ride and be prepared to be hanging onto the edge of your seat there’s definitely some twists and turns. I highly recommend reading not only this book but the whole series. I can’t wait for more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luc and Summer are pure electricity! This was such a great Mafia romance and it was so great finally getting to meet Luc and seeing how he reacts to being the heir to the Brambilla arm of the Five Families. If you haven’t read the previous books in this series you definitely need to because not only are they all amazing but they give great background on the other men and their wives. Summer is so tough but also vulnerable and something about her speaks to Luc from the moment he lays eyes on her. Things quickly spin out of control after a hot night together when Summer won’t reveal who and what she’s running from. Everything starts to fall into place the more time they spend together but there are some really terrifying twists and turns the closer they get. The ending is so beautiful, this is one action packed Mafia romance that you won’t want to miss!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love reading books by this author and this series is one of my favorites! The connections the mafia bosses have with each other and their wives are important and strong. And the families in Chicago have been through so much together which keep them connected. They work very well as a team.

Book 5 introduces us and delves into the relationship between Luc and Summer. They haven’t known each other long but they have a connection they didn’t expect after a one night stand. Summer has not had a great life but is very resourceful and strong. The new couple mixed in with the mafia families well and we see them support the new couple as if they have been part of the group all along.

Another fantastic installment in the series. I loved the outside looking in feel of this book and the introduction of two new characters. Luc and Summer, a classic enemy turned to love story. These two fit perfectly with the current mafia bosses and wives. Once again, you can feel the love and pain that each of these characters feel. I connected to Luc and Summer more than the previous characters as they were not born into the Mafia. I really enjoyed this book in the series and am intrigued to find out what comes next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in this series and it did not disappoint. This book can be read as a standalone but it is my suggestion that you read them all in order for a better experience and you get to know all the characters that make up the five families. This author always does a great job pulling me into the story. This has been a great series, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.This is Summer and Luc’s story and you won’t want to miss it. This book is full of romance, action, danger, suspense, family, love and so much more. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ruthless Heir is the 5th book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley, I think this was one of my favourites in the series so far. Each book in the series follows a member of one of the main 5 Chicago Mafia families and the nice difference in this book is that Luc doesn’t know he is part of the elite, through the mother he never knew he is the rightful heir to one of the 5 families. A successful businessman in his own right, he is surprised when he is forced to go to Chicago to discover his true heritage, taking his reluctant assistant Summer along with him. Summer is on the run from her past and doesn’t want to get involved with anything to do with the mafia but finds protection in the strangest of situations. I really liked this book, I have been enjoying all the books in the series, there is lots of actions, strong female characters and interesting storylines. Highly recommend, looking forward to book 6!
