Rex Valentino is on a clock if he’s going to save his seat as the head of The Society, the combination of five mafia families that work together to keep peace and protect their own, and to save his life. There are hidden factors against him, and he has to figure out who is betraying him and who is working to try to protect him and save him. Will he figure it out in time?  Will his obsession finally become a reality and will the woman that he has fallen for figure out her actual feelings in time for both of them to survive?

Caterina Alfera’s life is not what she has always thought it was and her father is not the man she thought he was. At twenty-four her whole life has been turned upside down and she has to find a way to balance the love of her father and the man that she has always avoided at all costs, only to figure out that she really does not hate the man.

I loved the conclusion to the King of Beasts Duet. The story is full of deception, families that will do their best to protect everyone they consider family, and the danger of the mafia and their battle with law enforcement. I loved the characters and the story. Catrina is a bit naïve, but she’s also a woman that has lost already and can’t think of losing anyone else that she loves, and this can put her life in danger as well as put others in danger. Her naivety is a dangerous thing for her in the life that she finds herself. I loved the book and give it a 5-star review. I want to pick up Massimo’s story, Lost Raven, and read it as well.

Damion Pride and Finn Envy are best friends that started their own business after college. They both come from families that were part of the Deadly Sins Syndicate but want their business to be on the up and up.  When Damion’s uncle wants to join forces with them their lives take on more than they were expecting.

Nixon Ryder works for Damion Pride’s uncle and is trying to bring them together to work as a team. However, Nixon is hiding a huge secret and when it comes to light the danger is amped up.

I enjoyed this story, it is a bit twisted, but it is good. The characters are likeable and entertaining, but a bit on the arrogant side. Of course, if you are part of the Deadly Sins Syndicate, you have the right to be arrogant. There were a few things that I still have questions about after finishing the book, but perhaps they will be answered in the next one. I give the book a 4-star review and am waiting for Finn’s story to see if I get the answers I have. K. L. Ramsey has a knack for writing stories that draw you in right away and Pride was no different. It was hard to put down to go to bed because I wanted to know what was going to happen. There’s danger, Alpha males, twisted family connections and a very sassy woman in this story.

She’s a woman that has felt as if she’s a burden on her family for a long time. Her disability has put her at a disadvantage for some things in her life. Lelani Mancini is the niece of Arturo Mancini, the man that now leads the Mancini Family Mafia. She’s also a pawn and is to be used to unite two families. Each family has their reasons for wanting the union, but she is not happy with not having the choice or with having to marry a man that she doesn’t know.

Austin is a member of the Kings of Retribution MC, Montana Chapter. He has his own ghosts that he keeps hidden from most. He doesn’t like to talk about his childhood or how his life changed one tragic night. He found the Kings of Retribution MC and has had a good life since he’s been a member. They are his family by choice.

I really enjoyed this story of two unlikely people meeting by chance and each finding the person that could heal their hearts. Lelani has a lot to overcome since she hasn’t felt as if she is wanted or cared about for a long time. It will take some convincing and a lot of looking inside herself to find the woman that she is meant to be and the life that she deserves. The secret she is keeping hidden could be lethal to the Kings, but she will soon learn that they will back her and keep her safe. I love Austin, he’s a tough guy with a soft heart and loyal man. His grandfather is a great character too. I loved the characters in this story as well as the story line. I give it a 5-star review and look forward to more in the series to read.

Rebecca Esmeralda Hugh is an artist and is from an elite family in New York City. She was taken in by her grandmother, a very rich and well-known member of the elite in New York when tragedy struck her family. She has also become the obsession of two monsters. The only questions are, which one is worse, and which one will win the battle to claim her?

Lucian Cortez had a rough start in life, but when he finally found his family and was able to get out of the terrible world he was in, he became a man with a name and an empire to back him. He has dark secrets but when he finds out that Esmeralda is in the crosshairs of a monster, he will make her his wife and keep her safe, but will she agree to the marriage?

This is a dark, twisted story of two people that have had to survive without the comfort of love for a lot of their lives and need to find a way to show love. Esmeralda grew up in a loving household until tragedy struck and then her life was a battle to survive and make her grandmother happy. Lucian started out in a dark world and overcame the streets as a teen and lived with his father and grandfather, but not all families show love to each other and with all of the secrets in Lucian’s family surrounding his mother, Lucian has little respect for his father or grandfather, until he learns the truth. I really love dark stories and V. F. Mason knows how to write dark and twisted. I loved Lucian’s Reign and it helped to see some of the background of the Cortez family and the boys that will grow up to be the Four Dark Horsemen. I can’t wait for more in this series. I loved reading about the families of the Four Dark Horsemen and some of the background of their lives. I give this book a 5-star review and look forward to more books by V.F. Mason, she’s a favorite author of mine and I love reading anything by her.

Mac Cowen the youngest son of the Cowen Clan is looking for vengeance for a wrong done to his family and his little sister. He has a plan and is ready to put it into effect. The woman he wants to get close to is the daughter of their rivals, the Aitkens family.

Bryn Aitken is not a fan of her father or brother. She knows that she and her sisters have always been considered pawns in the family, so she has been planning to set herself up to be able to survive on her own and separate from her family at the earliest chance she can get.

I love Mac. He’s a man with a plan, but then his plan gets blown to bits by the beautiful Bryn when he gets to know her. For a man that had no plans to marry or have a family, his life as he knows it will be turned upside down by one beautiful, independent, sassy woman that is trying to survive her life with a family that has no love or care for her. The Cowen Clan has a spy amongst them, and they are trying to figure out who that might be. When they get close, or think they are close to uncovering the spy, the person will slip out of their hands and hide away. Now they have a lot of speculation and a notebook, but no one to answer for any of it. I give this story a 5-star review and am so looking forward to Tate’s story. It should be just as hot and crazy as the other two have been. Gotta love the Scottish Mafia, and these deliciously hot men created in Jane Henry’s mind.

Nothing is as it appears on the outside. After one night of letting loose, Melissa Harding’s life will take a turn, and nothing will be as she had planned.

Melissa Harding has secrets that she would rather never come to light, some are too hard to talk about and others could put her in a dark light in the eyes of others. She’s been taking care of herself for a long time and her life is not what it appears on the outside. She doesn’t let anyone in, and she has no plans to change that now.

Danny Gallagher has seen the beautiful Melissa many times in his bar now and tonight will be the night that he will convince her to give him one night. He’s a powerful man and he may not know who Melissa is, but she definitely knows who Danny Gallagher is.

I am loving The Made Series! Not only are the men powerful, dangerous and sexy, but the women can give them a run for their money. Great characters, awesome plot and wonderful twists and turns keep the pages turning and burning up while reading. Not your typical Mafia story at all. The Gallagher family is powerful and has not had the best of records in marriages, but perhaps the next generation of family members can change the path. Melissa and Danny are made for each other and they are both determined to protect the other, at all costs. I love their story and I have a lady crush on Melissa. I give this story a 5-star review and want to state that I am so ready for Fragile Union. I have a feeling that there are secrets to be let loose in Holly and Romero’s story as well, that no one is expecting.

“Have you ever sat and stared at a fire? Watching the flames as they lick the dark sky? More than one, actually. I saw the eyes of the devil. The man that has vowed to keep in his clutches. The man that has taken my soul and replaced it.”

Loyalty is a big deal with an MC. If there is no loyalty or trust, an MC has nothing. The Chicago Chapter of the Royal Devils MC is a brotherhood that has been through a lot and still has a way to go before they can rise above the past president and his deceptions. I loved Psycho; he is probably my favorite character. He’s such a lost soul and his pain is so real. Psycho had an ugly childhood, and he wears those scars mentally. There are certain things that the Royal Devil’s will not condone and when Psycho learns of trouble heading to their town, he will be sure to clear out the garbage.

This story tore my heart out when I read about Psycho’s childhood. He’s an awesome character that brings so much to the story and his pain is so real. I love that the brothers of the MC always have his back and protect him. It’s too bad that the bunnies have to be so evil. I love Psycho’s story and I hated to have it end. I am excited for Freak’s book next. I give this story a 5-star review and I am looking forward to more of the Royal Devil’s MC Chicago Chapter to come. I love Erin Trejo’s books; they are always full of interesting characters and great stories.

He’s the secretary of the Untamed Sons MC. The youngest officer of the club. He can’t help that his heart wants the woman he’s fallen in love with, a club bunny. Levi’s heart is determined that she will be his. His brothers want him to be sure because claiming an ol’ lady has consequences.

She has secrets. Noelle’s heart has chosen Levi as the one that has her heart, but she’s been with the Untamed Sons for a reason, and it wasn’t to fall in love. Will Levi still want her or love her if her secrets come to light?

There has been a lot of betrayal in the Untamed Sons recently and there is more to be discovered. When the betrayal comes to light there will be more than one person affected by it. Can the Sons overcome the betrayal and secrets to find a way to move on? Secrets, betrayal, bad seeds, and danger lurk around every corner. Can the Sons heal from the deception, pain, and betrayal once everything is in the open and the trouble has been dealt with? I enjoyed Levi and Noelle’s story. There is pain and trouble lurking but these two can heal each other and find their trust and love again, they may have to work at it, but it can be done. I give this story a 4-star review and suggest it to readers that enjoy MC romance, danger, unpredictable couples and great characters.

“The doors close behind us, that final divide between what was and what will be.”

A Sovereign Son, Santiago De La Rosa has chosen the woman to be his wife. He’s was a direct heir to a founding father of Imperium Valens Invictum. He has a lot of power and yet he is not someone that is in the public eye much nor is he held in high regard by some members.

Ivy Moreno is the daughter of A Society member, but her family is not high in the rankings. Her mother is from a higher-ranking family and was a gift to Ivy’s father. The Moreno family is not a tight knit family. Ivy would normally not be the top choice for a union with a top-ranking member. She has imperfections, but Santiago is not aware of all of them.

An interesting read with imperfect characters, deceitful family members, and the need for revenge. Can two people make a life and be happy when their marriage starts with secrets, the need for revenge, or the hatefulness of their families? Will Santiago find his heart and the ability to come around and make a happy life with Ivy? I like most of the characters in this story, but there are a few I would like to see be put in their place or taken care in the way that these guys can. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more of the next book Reparation of Sin.
