He’s a loose cannon after things went bad and he lost the love of his life. Well, he walked away from the love of his life without defending himself or fighting for her. He felt defeated and was blaming himself for the way things turned out at her 18th birthday party. Tommaso now lives his life on the edge and does not let his head get clouded when he needs to do a job. He doesn’t ever want to miss anything again that could cause someone’s life to be in the balance.

From the first time she laid eyes on him she knew that he was it for her, but there was an age difference and he worked for her father. He’s also her brother’s best friend, or she believes he is. Gemma is naïve, young, and daddy’s little girl. The night of her 18th birthday everything goes terribly wrong and even after she lost her dream of playing soccer, she won’t recover from this situation. Her life will go downhill, and she’ll have to make the same decision that Tommaso did two years earlier. Will she be able to save everyone, or will it be a huge mistake on her part?

I love the Men of Mayhem series as much as I loved the Severinov Bratva Series. The characters are lethal, loyal and so much fun to read. This family is entertaining to read, and they always seem to find themselves in deep trouble, but they are good at getting out of it, with a little help from their extended family. I love Kristen Luciani’s books. She has a way with her characters that has you laughing, tearing up, and wanting to slap them throughout the books. In the end, they always win me over though. I give this book a 5-star review and I am so looking forward to Vincenzo Marcone’s story. He’s going to fall so far down the rabbit hole, just like Alex did. I cannot wait. It seems the higher they are in the family the farther they have to fall when the woman that steels their hearts come along.

She’s in the wrong place at the wrong time and now her life is in peril. She’s in protective custody, but even that doesn’t seem to be keeping her safe. Olivia can’t seem to catch a break in her life. She’s a trained ballerina, but one accident while dancing put her life in a spiral. Now she dances in a different venue just keep her head above water. One night puts her in more jeopardy than she bargained for and now she has to fight to survive not only to make ends meet, but to stay alive.

His second in command is unfortunate enough to see a hand floating in the water outside of their warehouse, now the police are doing a thorough search of the water and he and Viktor are tasked looking at what is found in the water. Andrusha prefers to keep to himself and fly under the radar, but this whole situation has caused him more trouble than he wanted. Andrusha will now have to make some hard decisions and hope for the best.

I absolutely loved this story. It has the dark, dangerous, twisted, and sexy that I enjoy reading. Andrusha is a powerful man that finds that he has a heart and that he will do anything to protect his family, whether they have been in his life for long time or a short time. He is smart, sexy, and a dangerous man to cross. This was my first read of Odette Stone, but I will have to put more of her books on my Kindle App. She is a great storyteller and her characters are awesome. I would love to read Viktor’s story. He appears to be a broody man, one of my favorites. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to reading more of Ms. Stone’s Vancouver Mafia Romance books.

He’s closed off, gruff, and demanding. Mike Flynn is a man who has had love and lost it. Now he is focused on his job. He will do anything to protect those he loves and cares about. When he receives a phone call from a teammate from the Army asking for his help, he won’t turn him down. Now he’s headed to Los Angeles to help Alex Costa’s sister to return a favor.

Lucia Costa is not trained like her brothers to deal with danger and deadly situations, but she will put herself in jeopardy to protect and help her older brother Cole when he is in trouble. The only problem is that she has to go on the run to save her life. She’s talented in finding information with a computer, but her skills to take down a cartel are lacking.

I loved this story. The action, danger, and loyalty of the Flynn’s, Costa’s, and the members of Tactical Solutions International willingness to help, keep the pages turning in this book. The characters are entertaining, loyal, tough, and their willingness to do anything to save or protect family or anyone they care about, makes for a great book and series. Mike is an FBI Special Agent and is looking for justice for his friend and the woman that won’t leave his mind. I give this story a 5-star review and recommend it to readers that enjoy suspense, Alpha males, women who don’t take anything from anyone, or characters that loyal, dangerous, and ready to take down the bad guys.

Dominik has his job and he is particular about how it is done. When he runs into trouble one night while transporting their product, he has to find a way to get it back and keep the police from causing them more trouble.

Lara Erdeli lives a life in hiding. She is hiding from a devastating past and trying to get retribution for that past. She loves art and is tired of being cooped up in a small flat by herself so much. When she finally gets the freedom she craves, her life will take a swift turn. The man protecting her and keeping her safe is the new Chief of Police in St. Petersburg. He is incorruptible and determined to clean the streets of the Bratva. He can’t be bought, but there may be a way to keep him off the Petrov Bratva’s backs.

I really loved this story. Dom is a great character. He is a tough man, a Bratva brother, but he also has a side that you would not expect to find. He falls hard for Lara and is determined to keep her and protect her. I enjoy the characters of this story as well as the other books in the series. They are entertaining to read. They’re loyal, deadly, and they are not afraid to do what is needed to ensure the safety of their family and loved one. I give this story a 5-star review and suggest that you read the entire series. I also read the Series Finale Epilogue, available at the end of the book, and loved it as well. I do wish that it had been longer though. If you are a reader of Mafia, Bratva, Alpha males, and strong women, you will love this series.

Psychological thriller that will have you wondering what’s going on, and who you can trust.

Kyle is angry that the police won’t do anything to find his missing wife. She didn’t come home from work and he has no idea where she could be. The police won’t help because she hasn’t been missing long enough to begin a search. Kyle will organize a search and things get more questionable at the end of the day.

Hannah is surprised that Kyle is interested in her. She just started this job and she’s quiet and shy. Kyle and Hannah have a good relationship until after they get married. Hannah isn’t sure what caused the change, but she’s wary of everything now and walks on eggshells.

I enjoyed this book, but I found that there were some gaps as to what was happening and how things progressed. The story is told mostly in the female character perspective. Only the first chapter is in Kyle’s perspective. Which I found interesting and different. I loved the plot and the way that the story was done in the sense that it kept me wondering what was going on, where Hannah was, how she got to where she was, was she being mistreated, was she in danger, and how things would turn out. I love a mystery in a story like this, and the way that the story kept my mind working while reading the story. I enjoy the guessing of a story to figure out the who, what, when, or why, but I want the challenge of multiple characters to have to think about, not being able to figure it out right away and this story definitely challenged my brain. I give this book a 4.5-star review and if you like psychological thrillers, the mystery of figuring out the bad guy, and strong women characters, this book is a perfect choice.

Intense, unpredictable, and protective.

Santiago Rios “Rios” is the Alpha of the Perdition MC, a wolf pack shifters MC. He has a lot on his shoulders since he was not groomed to become the Alpha of the pack, that was to be his brother, Trace. Rios took over the Alpha position because his brother wanted a different path in life and has done a good job of protecting his pack and being the Alpha. When he decided to bring a peace offering to Trace in the form of a young woman who is a seer and a shifter, his plans changed as soon as he first set eyes on Aylen Nez, and after he scented her. This caused more problems with his older brother and there doesn’t seem to be any relief from their tension in the near future.

Aylen Nez is the youngest of the Nez family. She realized she had a different path in life as a teen and was scared to death that her family would reject her when they found out her secret. Now that Rios has taken an interest in her, her secret is about to come to light, and she will have to deal with the fall out of it with her family. Little does she know that her secret and Rios’ interest in her has put her in the crosshairs of the Hunters, and in danger. She will need to learn to trust in herself as well as her new life if she is to survive.

I have been enjoying the Seer series as well as the Perdition MC series. I have found the characters to be entertaining, intense, unpredictable, and very protective of those they care about. These shifters are wolves, so they are very protective, and they work very well as a pack to keep their pack safe. The Hunters are getting too close to the pack though and the Perdition MC will need to proceed very carefully and be alert to everything and everyone that they interact with. The need to protect is strong and these sexy men will put their lives on the line to keep their mate or their family safe. I give this story a 5-star review and cannot wait for Trace’s story to come out. I have been looking forward to his story, he’s a brooding, moody, man that needs to find a mate that will bring out the wolf he is keeping locked up.
