Charlie has had to live in the shadows for several years now. His own mother thinks he’s dead. When he needs help tracking down some information, he goes to the only person he trusts, his handler, Annabel. He has a secret that he can’t let out and it’s hard to work with Annabel without her knowing what he is or who he is because his feelings for her are changing daily. He will protect her and kill for her, but she has no idea of that.

Annabel is Charlie’s handler, but she’s never worked in the field as an agent, she’s a desk agent and a nerd. She’s very well versed in hacking and getting information that has been hidden or is supposed to be kept hidden. After she helped Charlie with a personal matter, he promised to help her if she ever needed him. Well, it just so happens that she needs him now, but neither one of them are aware of the danger she has put herself in with her snooping. At least not yet.

These two are explosive when they come together. I don’t read a lot of paranormal stories as they aren’t always up my alley for genre, but it seems that when I do read one, it blows me away. I loved this story, the plot, the characters, the story line, all of it was entertaining, intriguing, and an awesome read. I give this story a 5-star read and highly recommend it to readers that are looking for some spice, a look into paranormal, or if you like undercover agents, strong women, or Alpha men. It was a great read and I couldn’t put it down until the end of the book once I started reading it. I will be reading more of this series and I look forward to it.

Wow! The title of this book is so accurate! It’s brutal, raw, twisted, and very dark.

She hasn’t used her birth name in years. She hasn’t been an honest woman or the law-abiding citizen that one would think she is when looking at her. She looks so innocent and a woman that lives the straight and narrow, but she had to do what was needed to survive and it wasn’t always on the up and up. Now she finds herself in the most danger that she has ever been in and she is no longer called by a name but is referred to by a number. One fateful day she finds herself in a situation where she believes to be her lucky day. Little does she know that she’ll never be free or safe, no matter where she hides.

He took over the family business, by literally taking the position. He can’t let anyone know the secrets that have been hidden in his family or his life will be in danger, and not only his, but the two people who are closest to him as well. He has so many secrets in his life. He doesn’t trust anyone, not even his blood. The day he sees #327 his life starts changing and he still tries to hide things. She brings out a side of him that he never knew existed and it could get them both killed. He can’t let anyone know that side of him and #327 has a hard time with the two sides that she sees of Breaker Beneventi. He’s a monster, but he’s her monster.

This book was so dark and brutal, and it gave me some dark dreams, but I loved it. It was raw, dark, twisted, and oh so good to read. I can’t wait for the next book in the series so that I can find out what will happen. The intrigue of whether these characters will get out of danger and find a way to move on with their lives and have a semi normal life is strong. For as dark and dangerous as Breaker is, his inner battle with himself about his feelings for Lyla (Mercy; 327) have given a deeper look into who he is and if he is human. If you like dark, brutal, twisted stories, then you really need to one-click this one and read it. It’ll pull you in and leave you exhausted but it’s well worth it. I give this book a 5-star review and can’t wait for more of the Beneventi Family. This was my first book by Sonya Jesus, but I bought Thirty-One Kisses right after I read this one so that I could read Kelsey’s story.

She wasn’t raised in the bratva. Sasha was raised like a princess and went to school to become a doctor. She’s passed her exams is now ready to head home and find a job in a local hospital, maybe travel some when she can. Her family has always been pretty well off, they own a restaurant that has been in the family for a few generations. She’s excited to get home and share with her parents that she has passed her exams with great scores. However, when she returns home, she notices a lot of changes with her father, the restaurant, and their home. She may not have been raised in the bratva, but she is not naïve, she knows how they work, and she is very aware of danger when you owe them.

Snow is fighter, but he does not fight for anyone but himself. He has dreams of becoming legit and making a real name for himself. When he hears of a tournament that can get that much closer to his dreams he is determined to fight, even if his training is not sure that he’s ready for this tournament. He doesn’t want to fight for any of the bratva bosses because he doesn’t want to be owned by them. He fights a clean fight and he maintains his morals at all costs. When he first sees the young doctor at the tournament, he is drawn to her. He finds himself attracted to her and can’t seem to turn his back on her, he’ll put himself on the line to make sure that she is safe and free. It might cause him his life, but his determination could prevail too.

I love this story. These two are survivors and they are very protective of the people they care about in their lives. They will go through a lot of changes and will find the strength they both have deep inside to survive and they become stronger together. I give this story a 5-star review and recommend it to readers who enjoy mafia/bratva, suspense, women who find their strength when the people they care about could be in danger, and the men that will go to any extreme to protect the woman that steels their heart, as well as the people they are loyal to.

Logan Savage joined the Air Force right out of high school and after the death of his mother, his only remaining relative was his older sister and she couldn’t talk him out of it. He served until he was honorably discharged after his chopper went down and he was injured. Now, he’s a scientist working for the Government, owns a bar, and is the president of the Savage Hell MC, a chapter of the Royal Bastards MC.

Bowie Wolfe is in the Army and has been watching Savage for about a week now trying to get up the courage to talk to him.

Dallas is a woman that went out with Savage for about a month, until he hightailed it and never spoke to her again. She was hurt and angry with him for how he treated her. When she sees him out at a bar almost a year later, she can’t keep the anger at bay and gives him the evil eye.

I liked this story. It has some danger, a lot of heat, and an MC that is family and has each-others backs. It also has a rival MC that causes them trouble and tries to take what they believe to be theirs but never was. I give the story a 4-star review. If you like MC’s, age difference relationships and non-traditional relationships, you should read Savage Heat. I look forward to the next story Roadkill.
