⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

This was a highly anticipated book for me in The Made Series. Denis and Zoe’s story has been part of all of the books so far, but this was their full story, and it did not disappoint.

Denis Gallagher is the Boss of the Irish mafia in Ireland and he’s a powerful man. He may not be the top ruler, but he’s next in line and has the power. His marriage is a sham but the only good part of it is the six kids he has. He loves them all and will do anything to protect all of them, even if it destroys his life.

Callie O’Hara is a businesswoman and is connected. She owns multiple bars in Ireland and is expanding to London. She’s beautiful, single, independent, smart, and has fought her way out of a bad relationship. She’s careful now about putting her heart out there, but when she see’s Denis for the first time, something makes her brain go haywire and she has no way of stopping what happens next, but the only problem is that Denis can break her like no one else would ever be able to.

I love The Made Series, it’s full of powerful, sexy, possessive and protective men. The best part about this series though is that the women are just as powerful, protective, sexy, and possessive. They can fight alongside their men and the don’t shy away what needs to be done to protect those they love. When Callie is faced with the truth of who Denis is, her heart is broken and she’s sure that nothing will ever be the same again. I loved Denis and Callie’s story. Denis deserves to have someone in his life that he can trust and have by his side, that will love not only him, but his kids too. Callie has a big heart and soft demeanor that has most people thinking that she’s weak, but when someone goes after her or her family the claws come out. This makes Callie a perfect fit for Denis. I am happy to finally read Denis’ story and for him to find the woman that was made for him. I love the characters in this series, and I am looking forward to Flynn’s story. I give this story a 5-star review and if possible, I would give it five more.

She’s broken, destroyed, and all alone now. Her brother did not come home from his last deployment. Now she’s lashing out at the people that have always been family by choice because she blames them for her brother not coming home and they all have their lives ahead of them.

They were engaged, they grew up together, and meant everything to each other, but when Chloe’s big brother didn’t come home from his last mission, his final mission, she broke and she blamed all of his friends, including his best friend and her fiancé, Ian.

Ian wouldn’t give up on Chloe, no matter what. He knew that they were meant to be together, he just had to figure out how to get Chloe through the devastation she’s going through. When things start to get back on track, more devastating news hits them and then trouble comes calling. The Birch Police and Fire and Rescue are a close-knit group and have each other’s backs, so even if Ian was not there to help Chloe, he knew that someone would. I have really been enjoying these books that are in small town Maine. The characters are all great, the men have protected and served in multiple capacities from their early adult lives, and they continue to serve and protect their town and their community. The women are strong, independent, and able to hole their own against their men. The men are protective and caring. They will do whatever they can for their women and their family, whether they are blood or chosen family. I love the series and I am hoping for more of this small town. I give this book a 5-star review.

Ajax noticed her the first day she started working in the bakery and he knew that he had found the woman that would complete him, just like his brothers that were in relationships. He just needed to convince her now. Ajax is on watch at the bakery pretty much every day so that he can keep an eye on Jess, but when the guys keep coming in and flirting with Jess, Ajax wants to blow a gasket.

Jess is so happy to get the baking job in the new bakery in town. Her life has been rough, and she needed to get away from the town she grew up in and the toxic women that her father brought into her life. She’s kind and oblivious of her effect on the men that come into the bakery. She has no idea the effect she has on men at any time, and when she’s told that Ajax is interested in her, she can’t figure out why.

I love the Archangels Warriors books and characters. The men are protective, loyal, sexy, and possessive. The women are strong, sexy, sassy, and independent. These women draw the men to them and then drive them crazy because the men realize that they cannot control the women. I love the men and women in all of the chapters, they are a huge family that protect their communities, women, and family. I love Ajax and Jess’ story. They dance around each other until Ajax proves to Jess that he is in it for the long haul. When her past comes back into her life, the turmoil of it causes trouble for Ajax and Jess and then she finds herself in trouble and needing protection but has no one to go to but the Archangels Warriors. I am anxiously waiting for more of these books as well as the other groups that Ciara includes in her books. I give this book a 5-star review.

When tragedy strikes again, she’s even more determined to hide herself away and make sure that she stays alive.

Summer’s family has dwindled and she’s all alone, so she has to find a way to trust Eric and the syndicate to keep her alive and protect her. Trust does not come easy to Summer, so the battle will be interesting.

Both Eric and Summer have a hard time trusting and lowering their walls. After Eric gets to know Summer, he finds that his brain is starting to work against the thoughts of using her as bait to capture Robert. These two will fight a battle that they’ll both lose, there is no fight against your own heart. I love the Dark Syndicate series and Eric’s story was one I had been waiting for. He’s a broken man and Summer is a broken woman, but their pieces fit perfectly together. I loved the book and I love the characters in the series. The stories are action packed, tragic, steamy, and so good that I hate to have them end. I am looking forward to more in the Dark Syndicate series and I give this book a 5-star review.
