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.

To say these two are from different worlds is putting it mildly.

Joe Cortell, the baby of the Cortell brothers, always ready with a joke, a smile or just to cause trouble, he’s the baby brother and has the job down to a T. Joe is always ready to help out his brothers, even if they don’t want his kind of help. He supports them all the time and when he needs their support, they let him down.

Sofia Lancaster comes from a very prominent Chicago family. However, even with the riches that her family has, she is not a happy woman. She has been catered to her whole life and doesn’t really know what to do in the real world. Needless to say, when she ends up in the small town living above a tattoo shop, she is beyond herself.

I love the Cortell brothers and while I’ve loved each of their books, I think Priceless Ink was probably my favorite. I still think that Joe’s love life should have been shared on the town FB page though. Joe and Sofia couldn’t come from more different worlds, but Joe is exactly the person for Sofia. He’s sweet, generous, funny, loyal and if you end up on his bad side, be prepared for some not so nice treatment. I love reading these books, they are full of funny scenes, wonderful characters, a loving family, and great love stories. The Cortell brothers are close, and they think they do no wrong, but the women in their lives prove to them that they each have some learning to do. Corduroy should really get his own book too, he is a part of the Cortell brothers by acquaintance and he is helpful when it comes to their relationships as well, LOL. I give this book a 5-star review and I am looking forward to Andrew’s book. If you’re looking for a book that will have you laughing, crying, wanting to yell at some brothers to support the main character, you will love Priceless Ink. It had me laughing from the beginning of the book, but there were some rough parts as well. Overall, it’s an awesome read.

She’s the little sister of his boss’ and five years younger than him. She’s off limits in so many ways, but his heart can’t see any of those reasons. Mikhail is the head of security for the Ivanov’s and although he is trusted by them to keep the family safe and works with them on some of their business deals, he doesn’t have the pedigree to marry Nadia Ivanov, or to have her be his.

He’s the dark, quiet, handsome shadow that follows her wherever she goes, even if it’s only with his eyes. Nadia has had a crush on Mikhail Volkov since he started working for her family. As she got older and he rejected her more than once, she figured it was time to move on and find someone that would love her and care about her. The only problem was that when she put herself in danger and Mikhail barely made it to her in time, it changed their relationship completely.

I loved this story of the forbidden fruit finally being able to find the love of the person that they have wanted for so long. Nadia and Mikhail are perfect together and even though the whole family treated Nadia as an innocent, naïve young girl, she proved to all of them that she was fine with the family business and could find her path in life with the one man that would do anything to keep her safe and protected. Mikhail may be a big, tough, quiet Russian enforcer and security for the family, but his heart becomes soft mush when Nadia’s life is in jeopardy and he rescues her. I loved the Ivanov brother’s stories and Nadia’s story was just as action packed, entertaining, and enjoyable to read. I give this book a 4-star review and look forward to more books by Zoe Blake. She’s always a favorite author of mine.
