My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Holloway knows how to weave a spellbinding tale of intrigue, drama, and suspense. She left me guessing page after page and drew me in to the beautiful backdrop that became a character all its own. This page turner truly is a gem and one that everyone should put on their “to read immediately” list. And then you need to put it on your “read it again” list. Throughout enjoyed it and will absolutely recommend it to others.

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3)CLAIMED by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claimed is the third novel in the Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. This is my third novel by this author.

Jenny has gone through a lot and has come out on top but someone is still after her and its time to finally find out who is after her so she can finally live a peaceful life.

Her relationship with Brian has changed from sexually to them finally admitting their feelings to each other. Brian opening up his heart and showing Jenny the world she had always been curious about, but with danger lurking around every corner, who is really loyal to who?

This was another fast paced novel where I wasn’t sure what was going on and there was so many twists and turns and people in danger and mafia kidnappings, that I had to reread some parts.

This series surprised in some many ways and I am glad that I gave it a try.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound is the second novel in the Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. This is my second novel by this author.

She has people after her on every side, and not sure who to trust. Anyone could be working against her.

This novel was really fast paced with trying to find evidence to clear up Jenny’s name in the murder and to find out who really did it, but things weren’t looking so good for her. Her feelings for Brian are becoming stronger and wonders if she cares for her in the same way that she does for him.

I can’t believe I finished this a few hours and I am on the seat of seat to find out how this ends.

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1)Shattered by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered is the first novel in the Torzial Affair by Via Mari. This is my first novel by this author.

While attending her best friend’s wedding, Jenny Torzial attracts the attention of Brian Carrington. They sneak off for more privacy and when a kiss leads to possibly more, Jenny kicks him in the groin and runs out the room, confusing Brian. He tries to think nothing of it, but he wants to know more about her.

With the possibility of mafia, tracking her because of her association, Brian could be way in over his head.

This story really surprised me. I thought I knew how it was going to go but I was so wrong. Jenny is a strong character who is trying to make a name for herself and make her father proud but there are things about her past that she is start healing and turns to alcohol to face her demons.

Brian has a hard life and is unable to trust people but shows he has a caring side when he meets Jenny.

I can’t wait to see what happens next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is probably one of my favorite series that has sucked me in this year! I love the ups and downs Brian and Jenny has faced and how they fight for their love!

This was the ending that top any and all of my expectations. Throughout the other books in this series, the couple has had massive hurdles to conquer and honestly I believe many would’ve quit if they were in their shoes. This book and this series has brought so many feelings in the forefront and the feels will take on one heck of a rollercoaster ride.

I don’t want to give anything away but if you have been reading Brian and Jenny’s story then this is the ending you’ve been dying for. If you haven’t read this series yet, then this needs to be your next binge read!

Claimed (The Torzial Affair Book 3) by Via Mari

Claimed is the third book in The Torzial Affair Series by Via Mari. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t stop reading till the end. I highly recommend reading this series in order as you will get a better understanding of what is going on. This is the continuation of Jenny and Brian’s story and we pick right up where the second book left off. Jenny just got the verdict and is free but it’s far from over. Danger is still lurking. Someone wants her silenced and Brian is willing to do anything for it not to happen. This story is a nail biting on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what happens next especially with all the twists and turns. Its suspenseful and has just enough action to keep you hooked. Can Brian protect Jenny and keep her safe? Find out what happens next. I can’t recommend this book and the whole series enough. It’s a must read you won’t regret it I know I didn’t. I can’t wait to see what this Author has for us next.

YES! This book is perfection! I have followed the Prestian Series all the way to the Torizial Affair and this is by far my most favorite of them all. Claimed is book three in the Torzial Affair series and I HIGHLY recommend that you read these books in order. You will really be able to understand and see the series for what it is, the romance and progression of a couple discovering they are meant for the BDSM lifestyle. In fact, Claimed, is the culmination in fact of that journey, where Brian and Jenny truly realize the roles in which they desire and need to have a successful relationship. This was such a beautifully written journey and I cant wait to see what will come next from the ever talented Via Mari.

This is book 3 in The Torzial Affair series.

It continues the story of Brian and Jenny.
Now Jenny is free and the charges of murder have been dropped against her, they start on the journey to get the hit removed off her from the Mafia.

Its a fast paced adventure where you dont know who to trust and where to turn. As well as that it follows the growing relationship between Brian and Jenny. When things get dangerous it makes Brian realise what Jenny means to him and he plans to claim her in every sense of the word.

I loved this series. Its full of passion and also adventure which keeps you gripped till the end.

Wow! This book was fantastic! This is the third book in The Torzial Affair series and it is also the conclusion to the series. This book was a great way to end the series and I’m sad to see it go but it made an amazing and lasting impression. This book has it all… suspense, romance, danger and mystery! I love the main characters Brian and Jenny. Brian’s love was so strong for Jenny, he would do anything for her and he definitely showed that in this book. Jenny has had a hard life and the secrets she knows only make it harder. With the mob out to get her will Jenny be able to survive or will she get caught in the cross hairs?
I am looking forward to reading more by this amazing author and I would recommend this series to a friend!
Happy Reading!

Another great book from a great author. Via Mari never disappoints. I started out reading the prestian series and I was hooked and now that I’m reading this series she is quickly becoming one one my favorite authors. There is action, danger, friendship, romance, steamy moments and so much more. I get so drawn into these stories that I become invested in the outcome of the characters. The author weaves such an exceptional storyline that I was unable to put this book down. I love reading Jenny and Brian’s story, I just can’t get enough. After everything that Jenny has been through I can’t help but want Brian to be able to fix it all. I highly recommend this book if you want to know what happens. This is an awesome series!

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3)CLAIMED by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claimed is the 3rd and final book in the outstanding Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. It starts right where book 2 ‘Bound’ left us on a cliffhanger. I would not recommend reading this book without having read ‘Shattered’ and ‘Bound’ first as it one continuous story through the 3 book series.
If possible, this book is even more action packed and fast paced than the previous two, taking the reader through so many twists and turns, and every emotion possible in the build up to a fantastic conclusion. The author throws a few surprises along the way that have you shouting out ‘WTF’.
I loved this book, particularly the growing relationship between Jenny and Brian as he pushes her limits, bringing out more of her submissive nature. They seem unable to keep their hands off each other, resulting in many hot and steamy scenes throughout the book.
Having done things back to front and read the 2 Billionaire’s Bodyguards book before this series, I loved seeing Jay and Matt in this setting. I also loved that the author drops some hints at the end of ‘Claimed’ as to what might come in the Billionaire’s Bodyguards books.
All in all, this book brings a truly amazing series to a conclusion. I would most definitely recommend this whole series to others. Now that I have discovered this amazing author, I’ll be sure to read more of her work.

Claimed (The Torzial Affair) by Via Mari was a great continuation of the series. I would give this book a five out of five stars. This book picks up right where the second one left off. Jenny’s life continues to stay complicated, but like with everything else she keeps to keep making progress. Brian always has a plan and things tend to go his way whether by design or force. Another book I just struggled to put down!

Claimed was a great 5 star read and book three in The Torzial Affair trilogy.
My emotions were all over the place with this read.

Brian’s love for Jenny was great, he would do anything to keep her safe and the last book in the trilogy didn’t disappoint. We get danger, action, suspense, steamy scenes, and so much more.

Brian helps get Jenny out of the charges regarding Ty’s death. They get her out of town quickly and to a safe place. The strings that Brian pulls to get her out of the charges could bring danger to their door and Brian will have to fight to keep her safe.

Brian and Jenny were my favorites in this trilogy. They connection these two had was great, Brian helped Jenny fulfill some of her fantasies and deal with her anxiety. There are some unexpected twists and turns. The secondary characters were great as well. You get pulled right in with the author’s writing and you won’t want to put it down until your done. I can’t wait to see what she has coming next. I would suggest 18+ readers due to some of the content.

Claimed by Via Mari is the third book in Torzial Affair series. Jenny Torzial has been accused of committing a crime, in which she is innocent. Brian who loves her is fighting nonstop to prove her innocence but she knows so much about the mob. The same mob that wants her and what she knows gone forever. The question is will Brian be able to protect her and will the relationship between Jenny and Brian be enough for what each want. I highly recommend reading this book and series to find out!

This book was the perfect mix between romantic and suspense I love the way Via Mari pulls me into a story and into the lives of such great characters. I find that the plots, the twists and turns, and the steamy scenes really are what make me read most of the author’s books in one sitting! I highly recommend this FIVE STAR READ!

Claimed by Via Mari a four-star read that you will want to claim as your own. This is number three in the Torzial Affair series and this one picks up after the last so I would advise you to read them all, if you don’t you will only want to go back and read them. The suspense and danger in this story as so real and compelling, along side some great characters in Brian and Jenny. The whole drama in the danger they face and weather they will come out the other side or not, just adds another level to the story. The ending was amazing, the beginning was good, it just lacked a little in the middle that let it down a touch.

I am so sad to see this trilogy come to an end! I absolutely fell in love with Jenny and Brian while reading this series. I was so immersed in their lives that I felt I had a personal stake in how their story played out! Despite her submissive needs and her trust issues, Jenny is such a strong and caring woman who would do anything to keep her friends safe. And Brian is fiercely loyal and determined to defy the odds and prove to Jenny that she is the only woman for him. And who doesn’t want a hot, sexy, billionaire with a mansion complete with an entire level of playrooms determined to earn your complete trust while satisfying your every sexual desire??? I know I do!

This is an action packed, suspenseful story that will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to guess how it will all play out…but inevitably you will be wrong! Lies, deceit, twists, turns, romance, and sexual intensity. This book has it all! While Claimed ties up Brian and Jenny’s story in a beautiful way, there are so many story lines left to explore. I am looking forward to future works from Via Mari. After reading this series I am most definitely hooked on this author!

How I could go from never reading a particular Author to becoming hooked on multiple series at once is beyond me, but Via Mari has me completely hooked.
With likable characters and intense passion, each book I read by this author impresses me through and through. I had a preconceived notion that steamy romances meant the storyline wouldn’t have depth or substance. Via Mari has shown me this couldn’t be further from the truth. Undercover has twists and turns that kept me interested from start to finish. Looking forward to reading more from Via Mari, as usual.

All That's Left UnsaidAll That’s Left Unsaid by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Be prepared to take a breathtakingly beautiful trip to Positano, a city on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, with Harrie (Harriet). Rowena Holloway has written this positively perfect suspenseful story guaranteed to make you feel as if you have truly jetted across the seas with the character and thrust into this dramatic and suspenseful mystery she is trying to solve. This novel seriously has it all and in the right proportions! Drama, suspense, mystery and intrigue are laced with hints of romance and a hunky Italian man to sweep you off your feet. I won’t go into details on the way things become such a twisty suspenseful read because frankly that would ruin it and I can’t bare to do so. The cover promises family secrets set to become exposed and that is truly the best way to sum this up. So prepare yourself a nice glass of wine and slip away to Italy. I guarantee you it will be a fabulous adventure you won’t regret taking! I personally can’t wait to see what else is to come from the ever talented Rowena Holloway. I know I will for sure scoop it up asap! Happy reading!

Claimed by Via Mari is the third book in the Torzial Affair series. This is a series that I would recommend reading in order as it follows the same characters throughout.
This book is the perfect ending to this series. It was everything you could want and more and it has to be my favourite of this series easily. Most of the way through the book it felt like me heart was pounding and I was on the edge of my seat. It was fast paced and such an intense read, I loved it.
You really grow to love these characters over the course of the 3 books and that is definitely thanks to the authors fantastic writing. She creates such real and engaging characters. I instantly knew that Brian and Jenny were going to be the kind of characters that I was fully behind.
If you aren’t familiar with Via Mari already then I cannot recommend enough that you rectify that immediately!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

All That’s Left Unsaid by Rowena Holloway is a fantastic mystery- full of secrets, suspense, drama, a complicated mother/daughter relationship, manipulation, truth, tangled threads, surprises, clever twists, and great characters.
I have read a few of Ms. Holloway’s books now and have learned that she knows how to tell a great story, which pulls me in and keeps me hooked right till the end- and this book was no different. With this intriguing mystery unfolding against the picturesque back drop of Positano, Italy- giving the story some added richness, and an extra element of interest.
Harriet Taylor is a journalist who has been working in London. When her mother falls ill, she flies home to help care for her. Her mother confides that she is concerned about a friend of hers in Italy- especially since an unidentified skeleton had been found. Her mother is certain it is the remains of her friend. So, with this revelation, and more than a little curiosity, Harriet sets off to Italy to do a little digging into the case. But Harriet will have to dig deep and utilise all her investigative skills, especially when the locals are less than forthcoming- if she’s ever to uncover the secrets that have been kept for so long. When strange things start happening, Harriet wonders how far she’s willing to go to get to the bottom of it all. What does she discover? It’s well worth the read to find out!
Interesting and intriguing!

Thank you, Ms. Holloway!

Claimed is the third and final book in the Torzial Affair series and what a final book it was. I have loved all of the books so far but the author really pulled out something special for this one it was an absolutely amazing read! Brian and Jenny’s journey has been such a rollercoaster to read about so many ups and downs that have kept me reading from page 1 in the very first book until the last word in this final book. I have completely taken them into my heart and I am so sad that their story is now over. Even at this late stage in a trilogy the author was still able to surprise me with the characters and throw in some great twists and turns to keep me on the edge of my seat!
This has really been a fantastic series and one that I highly recommend. Claimed was a phenomenal final book in the series and whilst I’m sad its over I couldn’t have asked for a better conclusion! I can’t wait to read more from this author again in the future.

All That’s Left Unsaid is a mystery by Rowena Holloway that keeps you guessing to the last chapter! It is the first book I have read by this writer so I didn’t really know what to expect. I got intrigued by the synopsis and decided to take a chance and I do not regret it! This story is so worth taking a weekend!
The writer gives us Harriet who is estranged from her mother and who heads to Italy after her mother thinks that the bones found in a cave are of her friend who has been missing for thirty years. We have secrets and twists and turns and a bit of romance sprinkled into it all … The writer is taking Harriet on a journey of discovery and we are going along, willingly … I love the way the spins the story, the way she describes it all, you can simply close your eyes and picture it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Undercover by Via Mari is the second book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. We finally get Matt’s story. I fell hard for Matt when he was protecting Jenny in The Torzial Affair series and that love has only grown since then.

Marenah is also a not new character if you read Sasha and Jay’s story. She is so much more than I expected her to be, which goes to show that first impressions aren’t always right. She has a knack for finding trouble and wanting to fix it.

Matt and Marenah are a hot couple. Their attraction is instantaneous and of the charts. There were a few time I had to put the book down to catch my breath.

I have been fortunate enough to read the two other series that this series is spun from so I know who everyone is and how they are all connected.

I highly recommend this book and series. Can’t wait to see who is next.

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1)Shattered by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered is the first book in The Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. This series is a spin-off from The Prestian Series. I seem to be reading Via Mari’s series’ back to front. I started with the 2 Billionaire’s Bodyguards books before reading this series. Judging by how much I’ve loved these, I’m sure I will go onto reading The Prestian Series soon.
In Shattered, the main characters are Jenny Torzial (best friend of Kate from The Prestian series) and Brian Carrington (best friend of Chase Prestian). After her ex-boyfriend brutally raped her it was discovered that he had been laundering money through her business and working with some very undesirable characters. As Kate becomes a target from the Mafia, Brian does everything he can to keep her safe.
The chemistry between Jenny and Brian is sizzling hot, as are the many sex scenes that unfold between them. There is an element of BDSM in their growing relationship as Brian takes control. Jenny is happy to submit to Brian in the bedroom but struggles with him trying to control her out of the bedroom too.
This book is fast paced and full of action from the very beginning and grips you right into the story and keeps a tight hold of you. I thoroughly enjoyed Shattered and can’t wait to see what happens next in this amazing series.

This is a love story between Jenny and Brian.

Jenny is a successful business woman with her own company, who has had a traumatic incident happen to her.

Brian is a very successful man in his own right, who i used to women wanting to be with him just for his money.

A meeting between them at their friends weddings starts a relationship which neither of them expected and revealed things about the past that Brian wasnt expecting to hear.

This is a lovely story about how you can overcome something so horrible and find love again. The author tackles the subject of abuse and rape between a couple and it is done in a respectful way.

Shattered by Via Mari was a steamy quick read. I would give this book a five out of five. A brief warning, it does reference a different series but it is separate from it. I was a little confused at parts but as I continued to read the past made sense. This is a steamy read and surprisingly wholesome. I know it sounds contradictory but without going into too many details there is a sense of honor. I loved Jenny’s character she is strong, but vulnerable. Not a cry baby, has very distinct wants and knows how to ask for them. Brian from the outside is your standard billionaire bad boy but as the story continues, you start to get the bigger picture about him.

Spectacular start to this series of books! I can’t wait to read more! This book is about Jenny Torzial, a confident and successful woman who dominates the business world. However, she is emotionally scarred from a past relationship and feels her submissive needs in the bedroom may have played a role in her tragedy. When she meets Brian Carrington, a sexy as hell, wealthy, cocky, womanizer who doesn’t do relationships, she is instantly attracted to him and can feel a pull towards his dominance even though she doesn’t understand why she feels the way she does. Brian tasks himself as her protector when outside forces are threatening them from all sides and he will stop at nothing to keep her safe. As they are thrown together, will their attraction to each other be enough to overcome their obstacles, or will they walk away in the end?

Shattered has a bit of everything. Authentic well developed main and supporting characters, romance, suspense, danger, tragedy, mafia, and of course plenty of hot and steamy sexy bits! I am looking forward to more of the Torzial Affair series and getting to know the characters better and delving deeper into the twists and turns of their lives. Definitely a must read series and must read author!
