I just married my brother's ex to keep her alive. She's pregnant. And my brother is the one who wants her dead.
I am the most feared Don in New York. My casino. My empire. My rules.
The Ferruccis chose my grand reopening night to send a message. She walked through my lobby door bleeding.
Her name is Viola Esposito. Carlo's ex. And she owns every inch of my floor.
I have one rule: never touch what belongs to a brother. I broke it. And I'd break it again.
She moves in and looks at me like no one ever has. Like the most feared man in New York is exactly where she wants him.
One night was never enough. She's in my bed, in my penthouse, under my skin.
Loving her is the most dangerous thing I have ever done.
Then I find out she's carrying my child. My brother. The man I trusted. Has already sold them both.
He signed her death warrant. And our child's. One minute too late. I lose them both.

My 5 Star Review TITLED: REALLY Good !
Romeo Ravelli has everything under control of his opening of his newly designed casino . Until he doesn't. Viola gets shot during a walk through and several windows get ruined.
She was with Carlo for several years until she finally left him. She holds a lot of secrets about Carlo; most she doesn't realize a first. Yep, it becomes clear very quickly that he's charming but also out for himself. He wants to look big and Viola small. But she's determined that's never going to happen. So she enters into an agreement with Romeo. He's better than she's been told. Sal Greco is Romeo's head of security and a man to be trusted. Others? Maybe not so much.
I liked Romeo and Viola together and how intimate that they become. And at time so sweet ! By chapter 16, I kept wondering something. "Is everything going to go sideways for the main characters and if so, When?" That kept surprising me when some of the things did.
Carlo had YEARS of planning to take over Romeo's position. Didn't matter that they were brothers. So sad ! But the ending is not !

I’m dating one brother to get close to the Bratva. I should have known the other, their enforcer, would see straight through me.
I was sent to steal secrets, not lose my head.
Playing devoted girlfriend to a Bratva playboy gives me exactly what my father wants: access.
Then his older brother catches me at three in the morning with my hands on a laptop I have no business touching.
Artem Makarov is the Bratva’s enforcer. Older. Ruthless. The man who handles problems permanently.
I should be terrified of him.
Instead, I can’t stop provoking him.
Artem knows I’m lying. He knows I’m using his brother. And rather than expose me, he gets closer. Close enough to make filthy promises about what would happen if I’d chosen him instead.
I tell him I’m not interested.
My body’s stopped listening.
And when my father decides my little game should end in marriage, the man I’m supposed to stay away from becomes the only one I want anywhere near me.
I was sent to betray his family and I’m promised to his brother.
But Artem doesn’t share.
And once the Bratva’s most dangerous man decides he wants me, I’m not sure anyone gets to tell him I’m not his.
Author’s Note: The Bratva Betrayal is a standalone, interconnected dark mafia romance set in the same world as The Volkov Trilogy. You do not need to read the trilogy first, but readers of that series will recognize familiar characters and connections.
This story features an age-gap romance, forced proximity, forbidden attraction, a possessive Bratva enforcer, an Irish mafia princess, touch-her-and-die energy, and a brother’s-girlfriend twist.

My 4 Star Review:Everyone thinks they have control
Artem is the Volkov enforcer and the right hand man of Benedekt Volkov. His father is a hard man who uses Artem to do the violent, hard stuff. Artem is his hand of judgement in the organization. Misha is the soft playboy who has been with Cady (Caitlin) Gallagher. She's an Irish mafia princess with 2 brothers who love her and her father who doesn't. To him she has her uses. But she's beginning to draw the line and he doesn't like that a bit. To him she's a chess piece to be moved and used as he sees fit. Her brothers are Rian, the careful, observing brother. The quiet one and probably the most dangerous of the two because of that. The younger brother, Killian is the reckless, hot headed brother who will fight for her if he was to.
Misha is a moron and Cady knows that; her father should have aimed her at Artem instead to get intel. But Cady and her father realize that he is the more dangerous one and would catch her right away. Oh, well. He does catch her spying pretty early and just keeps watching. Add to that there is finally some spicy times between them because he just can't resist taking her.
Things get really dangerous for Cady when Misha finally gets it that she really doesn't want to marry him and doesn't even really like him. Artem knows even more and more that his brother is a moron and presents several dangerous problems.
Great ending with problems taken care of in a surprising way.

I came home to Harbor Point for a fresh start—not to face the man I left six years ago.
Ethan Ashford is no longer the boy who once held my heart. He’s a powerful billionaire carrying his family’s legacy, and he has no idea my six-year-old son is also his.
I planned to tell him. I just never imagined Oliver would do it for me by proudly sharing an old photograph in front of his entire school.
Now Ethan wants the chance he never knew he’d lost, and Oliver is falling for the father he has always needed. But letting Ethan into our lives means risking the careful world I built—and exposing us to a town hungry for answers.
The chemistry between us still burns hotter than ever, but desire is the easy part. Trusting Ethan with my body is dangerous. Trusting him with my son—and my heart—could change everything.
Because some secrets don’t stay buried.
And some loves refuse to be forgotten.

My 4 Star review TITLED: Their worlds just changed
Sophie has been keeping her secret of Oliver for years but her son just put Ethan, his family and the community on notice about Ethan being his father.
Her best friend Lucy who owns the bookstore in town has been telling Sophie for years that she just needs to get the courage and tell Ethan. Oops, he knows now. Ethan wavers between anger, confusion and awe that he's a father. His mother Margaret is over the moon with delight and has always liked Sophie. She was great ! His brothers have differing feelings at first. Liam welcomes Sophie with open arms and he's the funny one. Promising to teach everything that's not parent approved, lol. Liam introduces the rest of his brothers to Oliver by saying, Nathan is the worrier, and Noah knows everything. Oliver is delighted and he fits in quickly even after at first shying accepting his father.
There's trouble at his business and it concerns the foundation that his father wanted and Ethan fully did too. But there's one trouble maker on his board who just isn't going to quit until someone makes him. Ethan has a terrific assistant, Claire who helps Ethan handle things in the company board as he decides how to make everything work.
Oliver was one cutie who asks a lot of questions and informs all about dinosaurs. There's no question that he's afraid to ask or opinion to give in his direct way. Loved him and how everything turns out.

"I buried one husband the world chose for me. I will not be handed a second across the wreckage of my own name."
Victoria, Lady Hemsworth, has already survived one marriage arranged for her, and she has no intention of enduring a second. Widowed, sharp, and quietly ruined by a name that was never truly hers, she wants only to keep her small daughter safe and her independence intact. Society has other plans. A drunken baronet, a scheming relation, and a single whispered scandal are closing every door she has left, and a woman alone cannot fight all of them at once.
The Earl of Harwood is the last man she expected to step between her and the wolves. Reserved, formidable, and carrying griefs he never speaks of, Elias offers her the one thing that will silence the gossip and put her beyond her enemies' reach: his name, his protection, and a marriage that asks nothing of her heart.
It is meant to be an arrangement, and Victoria knows exactly what arrangements are worth.
But a woman braced her whole life for the price on the far side of the page does not know what to do with a husband who stands beneath her daughter's window in the rain because the child asked whether he would come. And a guarded man who married to do a decent thing did not plan on wanting the one part of the bargain he swore he would never claim.
I made one mistake. Okay, maybe three. I came back to Porto Bellagio. I challenged the ruthless billionaire whose heart I broke. Then one stormy night left me carrying his baby.
Now Matteo Bellagio is my boss, my protector, and the only man who can make me forget why I ran. He’s infuriatingly controlling. Unfairly gorgeous. Rich enough to buy the coastline—and ruthless enough to destroy anyone who threatens me.
Unfortunately, someone is trying.
Moving into Matteo’s mansion is supposed to keep me safe, not put us within kissing distance. I won’t fall for his smiles. I won’t melt when he talks to our baby. And I won’t confess that I disappeared three years ago to save his life.
Because the danger buried beneath his development is closing in. My secrets could ruin his family. The enemy watching us knows everything.
And when Matteo discovers the truth, I may lose the man I never stopped loving—or give him the family he never knew he needed.

My 5 Star Review TITLED: The Sharks are already circling
Ava Moretti is absolutely terrified that history might be repeating itself when it comes to destruction of another fancy hotel. She is also totally terrified of Damian Cross, he's the biggest corrupt shark of them all. But she just CAN'T let someone else die when she might be able to prevent it. She's brilliant at her work, always thinking. But so was her former brilliant structural engineer at Azure Point and Elena died beneath the rubble of that place. In the three years Ava has been gone there is a man named Julian who has been a shadow helper as well. He just has to stay alive!
Matteo is a good guy although like everyone knows he's also controlling and Ava just wasn't having any of that. She stands her ground. Matteo does have some really good people on this side. Like his cousin, Nico who is the head of his security. Nico is VERY good at his job and he will need to be. There are traitors already inside his structure but I liked and never suspected Priya of any wrong doing. However, Victor Hale seems to be a smaller shark that is on the hotel's board and definitely needs watching. Is he an inside man or just someone being used? So many great question! This author kept me questioning, wondering, and asking myself questions like this.
But don't relax because there isn't any time for that as you read and the M.C.'s and the people who are helping know it all too well. Ava and Matteo do have some time for humor, some spicy times and some VERY intelligent moves on their part until the very end. By the way, I loved the cover for this eBook !
I got an ARC from the author and was so glad that I did !

It all started with an extremely well planned attack against Emma and Luke. And it gets worse from there ! The next time Emma awakes she becomes a pediatric nurse with limited memory of her past. But she slowly starts asking questions. Her loving parents have been avoiding a lot of them but did someone one tell them to? Emma's body sure got cremated awfully quickly too ! Where are Luke's parents in this ?
When Luke sees Emma in Sophia's hospital room, he passes out on the floor ! An incredibly emotional scene !
Sophia is an adorable, determined, opinionated, loving little girl who is not afraid to question things and demand answers ! I loved that !
Daniel is Luke's long time best friend and co-founder of their company. Sophia adores Daniel ! I kept thinking, "Please don't let him be in on the evil plan!"
This story kept me guessing on the edge of my seat. Hoping for the best for this painfully separated little family. Luke and Emma were so in love and so looking for to their life with their baby. Almost brought me to tears more than once. Also made me angry at times because of the evil that was going on. People being torn apart.
I don't want to give too much away , so I will end with that. Definitely glad that I read it !

My 5 Star Review TITLED: Fears & Sweet Memories
Lily has been on the run for 3 weeks with her VERY protective dog, Zeus . I loved their relationship ! The emotional tension hits right away. I could feel it before I got even through half of the first chapter. She's been running from her abusive fiancee Victor Morettis and he's one controlling piece of dirt. And I would out his mother, is the one he was cut from that same cloth !
James, was the best ! Not controlling her but being there for her every step of the way without crowding her. Making sure she has choices. Does he want her? Yes, but he's not pushing her ! They have known each other since they were kids but too shy to make the final move. Boy, did she choose the wrong man !
I kept thinking throughout the story, "Please don't let any harm come to Lily, or James and especially not to Zeus ! "
As the tension mounts I couldn't help but wonder if Victor and the troubles at James business are connected in any way, But James has some great people working for him.
By the way, I loved the beautiful eBook cover !!
