Lucius Vinemont is an arrogant man. His family owns Magnolia Sugar, it was built by him mother. Lucius and his two brothers run the company, but someone wants to take it over buy them out or do a hostile takeover.

Evelyn is looking to take over Magnolia Sugar and dismantling it. She wants to destroy the Vinemont family and she plans to do it by any means necessary. The only problem is that her plans don’t go the way she wanted and now she has a shadow. He’s not the only shadow though, and the other shadow could be the more dangerous of the two.

I really enjoyed this story, it was full of action, secrets, betrayal, danger, and a powerful family that is ruthless in protecting what is theirs. They’re also the family that ended the Acquisition years prior, and now they are in danger with the old guard and new blood trying to bring it back, but they know that the Vinemont’s will have to be destroyed or ended before that can happen. The only trouble is that the Vinemont’s are more powerful that any expected them to be, and they don’t the backing the families do that are trying to renew the Acquisition. The characters are well developed and strong. The story was enjoyable, and the danger was palpable. I give this story a 4-star review.

She has nothing left to live for. She’s struggling to keep herself going and her body is showing the turmoil she’s been through and is still going through. She’s opened her own antiques shop, but she’s struggling to keep it open. When she finds a man on her couch in her house one night, her world is shaken up again. It seems that tragedy follows Rory Flanagan ever since her mother gave her the old necklace with the black butterfly on it.

He’s a loner. He was left on the steps of a church shortly after he was born. Adopted by a woman that worked for a prominent family in Berry Springs, Christian Locke is a man that has no family. He is a mystery to the town’s folk. People keep their distance from Christian.

There are a lot of secrets in Berry Springs. When a mysterious young woman is found in the ditch by Rory one night, the entire town is talking about it. Rory isn’t a stranger to the small-town talk, and when she encounters her bully from school at the crime scene, she finds herself worried about the talk in town being centered on her. This story is full of mystery, coincidences, twists, and tragedy. The necklace that Rory received from her mother has its own secrets and mystery surrounding it. When Rory finds a windchime that matches the necklace her curiosity gets the best of her then things really get interesting. I love the suspense, mystery, and characters in this book. I loved the book and found it hard to put down. I love a good who done it story and Redemption Road hits the mark perfectly. With the mystery of the necklace, the journal that Rory picks up, and death of a young woman found in a ditch, there was a lot to figure out in this book, but the twists and turns were nothing I was prepared for. I give this story a 5-star review and I am looking forward to more stories by Ms. McKinney.

He was not prepared for the woman in his basement.

She’s out for revenge, but what she finds is a complete surprise to her.

Tessa is a woman looking to destroy and kill anyone that was involved in hurting her family and Valentino, the man that was in the cell next to her.

Lorenzo “Enzo” is looking for anyone involved in the hit on his little sister. She’s safe now and under his roof, but she’s missing her husband and Lorenzo will have to make her happy and bring him into the loop.

This story is action packed and unpredictable. There are many secrets, twists and turns in the book and it’s a real page turner. Tessa is a broken woman that is looking for revenge, but she has no idea who she’s looking for, so she’s a loose cannon that is infiltrating mafia families looking for the man that broke her and tore her family apart. She’s not prepared for what she finds though. When she infiltrates Enzo’s home, she is so much closer to her end game, but she must play by Enzo’s rules if she wants her revenge. She’ll also get answers that will shock her as well as Valentino, but in the end, they will both find a family that cares and will protect them. I loved the story and the characters in this book. I give this book a 5-star review and am looking forward to reading Deadly Lust.

Georgiou has his proclivities when it comes to sex and relationships and he knows that there are others out there that do as well, so he has the idea of opening Dark Odyssey where like-minded people can come to enjoy life the way they want to. His plans include his brother and three of his cousins. Being in the mafia these men are dark and dangerous on the best of days, but when Georgiou meets the one woman that can make him commit, his life is in danger because of who the woman is. He will have to fight for her as well as to make sure that she stays safe and out of the hands of a man that wants revenge.

Evie has been hidden away all her life. Her father is very overprotective and has a man chosen to marry her when he is ready to retire and give the reigns of his businesses over. In their world Evie will never be allowed to run the business, however the man that her father has chosen for her is a man that makes her skin crawl, so she will do the only thing she can do, enter an auction.

I loved this story of how the Dark Odyssey all started. It is just as full of action, danger, and fantasy as the other books in the series and shows struggles that Georgiou must face for the power, recognition, and respect that he deserves. This story is steamy, dark, action packed, and quite the page turner. I love the story and the characters in the Dark Odyssey Series and Original Sins was a great addition to the series. I was wondering about Georgiou’s story and Ms. Summers supplied it. I give this story a 5-star review.

Dr. Grace McCartney has had enough turmoil in her life and doesn’t need her brother’s best friend causing more for her. When her job puts her in the crosshairs of a man that has a history with Broderick and the Cross family, Broderick will do everything in his power to protect her and keep her safe, even if that means that her brother, his best friend Hunter, gets mad at him.

Broderick Cross has wanted Grace for a long time, but his friendship with Hunter has stopped him from making any moves to show her that he wants her. He has a reputation of being a man that doesn’t do commitment, so why would anyone believe that he wants her for more than a short time?

I enjoyed this story. The darkness of the Cross Enterprises follows into Broderick and Grace’s story. Grace has known the Cross family for years but now things are different and no matter how hard she tried to avoid it; her heart had other intentions for her. You can’t help who your heart wants. The danger, action, and darkness continue in this story in the Broken Cross series. I love the characters in this series. The Cross’ are not to be taken lightly. Grace couldn’t be in safer hands when she is with Broderick. Hunter will have to come to terms with their relationship. I give this story a 4-star review and I look forward to more in the series.

Storm and Keira’s story is such a great read. Storm is probably one of my favorite characters in the Satan’s Sinners MC series. He is not perfect and made mistakes, but he’s human and not all the mistakes can be blamed on him. He truly loves Keira, Cyan and his brothers in the New Jersey chapter of the Satan’s Sinners. He’s a man that has a lot of baggage from his past and was betrayed by the people that should have protected and cared for him.

Keira is a girl from the right side of the tracks and not someone that you would normally see with a biker. She has her own kind of baggage being raised as a preacher’s daughter. Not all families have the perfect life that they show the world. She needs to open her heart and her mind and listen and talk to Storm.

I really liked Storm’s story. He shows his vulnerabilities when it comes to Keira and Cyan. They have a lot to overcome if they want to be a family again. Cyan has a lot of scars of her own and if her parents can work out their problems, it just might help Cyan heal and move on from her ordeal. I loved the story and the characters in Storm, and I look forward to more books in the Satan’s Sinners books. I give this story a 5-star review. I didn’t feel that Storm needed redemption in my eyes, he just needed to open up and tell Keira the whole truth, and she needed to listen, but I feel that his story gave him the redemption that some readers felt he needed. He is my favorite character, flaws, and all. He proved his worth as the new president of the Coshocton, Ohio chapter. He’s fair, stern, and willing to give the guys a chance to prove their loyalty. He will take out the trash if needed.

Wow! Where do start with this book? I loved every page I read in this book. It had me on the edge of my seat waiting to get to the parts where I would get all of the answers for this series. I loved the characters, the story, the plot, all of it. I loved the suspense of not being able to guess who the Spy was in the beginning right through to the end of the book when so much was revealed.

The Spy has to keep his identity a secret for so long that when his true identity is revealed he’s afraid that he will lose the close friends he has made while at Kingmaker’s, but as a true mafia born prince, he will do what is required for his family.

When she finally convinces her father to let her go to Kingmaker’s she is nowhere near prepared for the welcome she will receive or the secrets that will be revealed to her about who her father really is. He’s not the man that she has looked up to for so long. Her whole world will be turned upside down.

I have loved Sophie’s books from the very first book I read. All of her books take me to the world that I am reading. I feel as if I am in the story and know the characters as though they are friends. Her detail to characters, scenery, and story brings her books to life and I love reading them. They are so hard to put down once I have started them. The Spy was no different. This story held so many answers to the so much from the other books, and it was still full of the action, suspense, steam and danger as all of Sophie’s books. I loved it and hated to see it end. I give this book a 5-star review and would give it 10-stars if possible.

I enjoyed this story, and the characters are always enjoyable to read. The story is full of action, secrets, danger and great characters. Adam and Amanda both have baggage, and they need to figure out a way to put their pasts behind them and move on and make a life together to protect the innocent. I give this story 4-star review. I have to find time to go back and read the stories earlier in the series.
