Every minute of every day it fuels my adrenaline and reminds me that I’m still alive.
Especially now that it’s back to taunt me.
Barely a shadow of my former self, I am the sole proof that my family ever existed.
The only survivor.
I am “J”.
One letter, one sound, unworthy of a full name.
Until today.
Today, I am Jordyn O’Neill and this is my story.
Once again – another new to me author and no-one has told me about them!? Especially when they write such fecking phenomenal dark books!!
N.O. One writes this book like a damn movie. One Kill plays out like you are watching every scene unfold. J is one tough cookie and is not to be messed with. There’s a reason she’s known as The Shadow.
The blurb gives you all need to know. There is so much more that unfolds in this story and I am not about to give one iota of it away.
If you love dark, suspenseful mafia romances, then this book is for you. Please read the TW because not everyone can stomach everything in dark romance.
That’s it – that’s my review on this. Just go buy the damn book and thank me later. Oh yea- this is duet and the cliffhanger is WOW.
Now to await the conclusion…..

Why have I not been told about this series before now?? And why has no one told me about Greer Rivers before now!??!
A dark, mafia romantic retelling of fairytales is my jam!! Dreadful contains that with Sweeney Todd, but also includes some Hamlet and Medusa – HELLO!! FREAKING PHENONMENAL!!
That’s really all my review should be. FREAKING PHENONMENAL!!
Greer weaves one hell of retelling with the perfect dark undertones in this mafia story. Talia’s story is not an easy one – what she endured as a child will leave you enraged. And Sever – he has no idea what he’s gotten himself into when he sees her working at the local bakery.
I won’t give any details away. Just read the blurb and go in from there. It is dark story and Greer’s writing is very intense. Right from the start, Greer’s writing just creates such vivid, graphic scenes and it allows readers to empathize with the characters and understand their actions.
I absolutely loved this book. I love Talia and Sever, and not just their chaotic relationship, but how they create their own story in the end.
Greer Rivers is a former crime fighter in a suit, but now happily leaves that to her characters as a romance author! A born and raised Carolinian, Greer says “y’all”, the occasional “bless your heart” (when necessary), and feels comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life.
Greer adores strong, sassy heroines and steamy second chances. She hopes to give readers an escape from the craziness of life and a safe place to feel too much. She’d LOVE to hear from you anytime! Except the morning. She hates mornings.
Teagan’s world shatters when she uncovers the mafia ties of her friends Fallon and Luca. To ensure her silence, she’s thrust into an unwanted marriage with Christiano, the boss’ cousin—an enigmatic man who despises her for this arrangement. Christiano is a methodical killer with no time for women, much less a wife.
But as they’re forced to live together, Teagan’s vibrant presence both captivates and challenges him. Yet, their mutual distrust remains steadfast. And if the truth about their union comes to light, it has the potential to set off a full-blown mafia war, putting everyone at risk, particularly Teagan.
As their marriage blurs the line between love and hate, Christiano finds himself torn between his growing attraction to Teagan and the dangerous organization he’s sworn to protect.
If he falters, the very existence of the Syndicate will be erased.

A mafia romance about family, loyalty, and love, Dissolution is the powerful conclusion to #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken’s Eagle Elite series.
“There is always a beginning—I will be their end.”
For ten years the Cosa Nostra has ruled with an iron fist in Chicago—their reign is about to end, and I’ll be the one to bring them down.
One more job for the Italian Americans, and I’m done. Except this “one job” involves saving the boss’s brother and sister. When things go horribly wrong, and a price is put on all of our heads from my Family back home—I’m forced to stay in Chicago, offer not just my gun but my protective services to the young girl I saved while also making sure nobody touches her. Myself included.
My own Family has splintered. Half want me dead, half want me alive, and the only people willing to protect me are the very ones I hate—her included.
I’m the Grim Reaper of the Sicilian mafia, and I bow to no one, not even her, so when she asks me to teach her to fight, when she tells me she wants to be made, I give in just so I can piss off the bosses. Only I made one mistake.
I protect her from the world. But who protects me from her?
One more battle remains between the families in Italy and in the States. One more battle where I’m torn between both sides. And I’m left protecting the one girl who has the potential to wreck us all.
It all started a decade ago at Eagle Elite University—the beginning. It will end on the streets of Chicago—with me as the end.
I, Santino Sinacore, am their end.
**This may be the end of the OG Eagle Elite, but it is NOT the end of the Eagle Elite World!**

Dirty Crazy Bad 2, the addictive and jaw-dropping conclusion to the dark reverse-harem Dirty Crazy Bad Duet from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is live now!
The Greed & Gluttony Luminary has trapped us into executing his evil plans, and it seems we have little option but to agree. Carter has orchestrated Chad’s kidnapping, and he holds my mom’s life in his hands.
Then he drops a game-changer
We must play our parts—or at least look like we are—because the fate of our loved ones, and the world at large, depends upon it. There is no choice.
It’s a delicate balancing act, with many obstacles and no guarantee of success. Carter has spent years planning his takeover and knowing who to trust is impossible.
Teamwork is the only way we can defeat him. But that is challenging when relationships are fractured, the guys are sworn enemies, and loyalties have been pushed to their limits.
It’s up to me to make this work, so I will push my grief aside to be there for Ares, Jase, and Chad.
Rhett Carter cannot become Lord of the Luminaries and we’re the only ones that can stop him.

I don’t even know what to say.
DCB2 is even more tantalizing, jaw dropping and suspenseful as DCB1.
Siobhan holds nothing back as she takes readers on an intense & dangerous ride with twists you can’t imagine to deliver a superb ending.
This book (whole duet) is not for the faint of heart as there are some depraved scenes that have your heart breaking. The secret society is more cruel and twisted than you’ll ever envision – they are the law.
Let’s not forget that woven into all that mayhem, is some swoon-worthy and very hot harem romance. Chad, Jase & Ares do not let our girl down in so many ways.
DCB2 is a suspenseful thriller that will keep you guessing til the end. Siobhan packs a heavy story with amazing characters and delivers an epic ending.

I remember the day he walked through our front door, bloodied and broken with the kind of torment that breeds, but never dies. Papa had one rule for him. Stay away from his daughter.
He didn’t.
Years later, he crashes back into my life and tears down all of the walls I built up around myself. We’re both hiding secrets, but when the mafia world collides with the MC world, the shrapnel could destroy everyone around us.
Now the president of the Chicago chapter, not even I was prepared for his return. He’s going to see that I’m no longer the precious princess of the Cosa Nostra, and I won’t play his games anymore.
He’ll play mine.
This is a story about two souls destined to be together, but who are trapped in bodies that hate each other. It’s what happens when you both let love kill you.

Because I Want You by Claire Contreras is now live!
From New York Times bestseller Claire Contreras comes a new, sexy standalone mafia romance novel… Roselyn Vega – When Gabriel De Luca waltzed into the nightclub where I was bartending, looking like he’d just stepped out of the pages of GQ Magazine: Wall Street Edition, it felt like fate.
I hadn’t seen him in ten years, but it felt like no time had passed between us. He’d been my first boyfriend, and I trusted him, so when he asked me how I ended up bartending for one of the most feared crime bosses, I told him everything. After that night, he went MIA, and suddenly, I’m very concerned for both our safety.
When he finally shows up, a week later, he’s acting different, walking different, and even looks a little different, but I’m so relieved that he’s okay that I barely register those things.
A couple of nights later, when he breaks into my apartment in the middle of the night I realize that it wasn’t Gabriel who’d walked into the club the other night, but his brother. His infuriating, domineering, dangerous brother, who, unlike Gabriel, followed their father’s footsteps into the world of organized crime. He demands that I pack my bags and go with him. I refuse, fight and argue, but the thing about Dominic De Luca is that one way or another, he always gets his way.
Dominic De Luca – There’s a code between brothers. I should know. I have a lot of them.
Don’t lie.
Don’t steal from each other.
Don’t f each other’s women *without permission*.
This particular situation made that last one a little less black and white because my brother, my first best friend, the guy who shared a womb with me, failed to tell me that the bartender he’d been seeing was Roselyn Vega. Of course, he wouldn’t tell me. Now the voice message he left before he completely disappeared makes sense. “Take care of her. Don’t f her.”
Usually, that wouldn’t be a problem (read: the code), but it’s a little tricky this time. You see, Rosie was mine before he took her from me ten years ago, and many things have changed during that time. I’ve changed, my circumstances have changed, but my confounding, obnoxious crush on Rosie? Yeah, that’s still the same. He left her in my care and warned me not to do anything, but I’m not making any promises.

Because I Want You is the third book in Claire’s Because series and WOW!!
No surprise here that I loved this book. Every new book that Claire releases, her writing just gets better and better.
This book may be a part of a series but it can be easily read as a standalone. And I can attest because my dumbass has not read the first two – I swear I will rectify that!!
Because I Want You is a mafia romance that features Rosie and Dominic. Let me tell you, the tension and chemistry between them is fire!!
I want to say so much and yet so little because I do not want to give anything away. I will just leave you with this:
Rosie is a fiery woman who’s very loyal to her family. Dominic is the twin she always avoided growing up and now after ten years, Dom has re-entered her life and isn’t really giving her the option of staying away. Add in the all the very well written suspenseful mafia portions and this book is a live wire in so many ways.
Even if you have not started this series, grab this book. It will make you want to go back and read the first two afterwards. I know, because that’s what I’m doing.
Because I Want You is another book from Claire that you cannot pass up on.

Lust blazes in his eyes. “I will wait for you to come to me.”
“You’ll be waiting,” I blurt, irritated when amusement skates across his face. I hate how he can obviously tell it’s a lie. He can see I’m floundering. That his want is not one-sided.
“I have a hand, and my blue balls can be patient.” A teasing smile spreads across his mouth, and I’m ensnared. Massimo is truly beautiful, and I only hope I’m strong enough to resist. I already suspect I’m not. “To a point,” he whispers against my ear, sending warm shivers coursing along my flesh. I squirm on his lap, failing to ignore the hard, thick length pulsing underneath me.
Massimo groans, and his eyes darken with undeniable desire. “You were put on this earth to test me. I’m sure of it.”
I can’t smother my smile in time.
“One kiss,” he says, his eyes dropping to my mouth as his tongue darts out and he wets his lips. “Would you deny your husband a kiss on his wedding night?”
“I have kissed you today.”
He shakes his head as his fingers sweep back and forth across my mouth, making it harder and harder to resist temptation. “I have kissed you. You have gone along with it because it was expected.”
He’s as delusional as me if he truly believes that. I drive my hands into his hair without even thinking about it. “Will everything be a negotiation between us?”
His brows climb to his hairline and a devilish grin widens his lush mouth. “Do we know any other way to be?”
“One kiss. Just one kiss.” The words feel like lies as I spout them.
“That is all I am asking.” He closes his eyes, moaning softly as my fingers explore the thick strands of his black hair. “That feels so incredibly good.”
I brush my mouth against his, and his eyes pop wide. His hands flatten against my back, pushing me in closer to his tempting body. I can indulge in one kiss. It is my wedding night after all, and my husband is one of the sexiest men alive. It’s not wrong to take this one thing for myself, right? “Just one kiss,” I remind him as our breaths comingle.
“Only one.”
Closing my eyes, I lower my mouth to his and descend into sheer bliss. He lets me control it, at first, and I’m surprised at the potent need driving me to take everything as I prod at the seam of his lips with my tongue. He opens instantly, letting my tongue plunge inside his mouth. I reposition myself on his lap, straddling his hips, so I can properly kiss him, and it’s that moment when all bets are off.
Siobhan has done it again!! Vengeance of a Mafia Queen is another phenomenal dark mafia romance book that rocked me hard.
Vengeance of a Mafia Queen is a standalone mafia romance within Siobhan’s mafia world. I am truly at a loss for words with this story. Her stories and characters are one-of-a-kind and she blows me away with each new story she brings to her readers.
The blurb is all you need to know to jump right into this one. There are characters from her other books, but they play no direct parts in this story and the plot.
Siobhan has this unique way with her writing that pulls readers into the story and keeps them captivated til the very end. Readers get a deep understanding of both Catarina and Massimo and who they are and how they’ve become who they are today. Siobhan delivers the perfect blend of a high-octane plot with a steamy romantic story all the while showing the growth in her characters.
Catarina and Massimo are two characters I had not realized I needed in my life til I met them. I can honestly say Catarina is probably my first girl crush in a book, ever. She’s a powerhouse in her own rights and the fierce determination knows no bounds. Massimo – he’s the perfect partner for Catarina. He knows when to rule with his alpha domineer and when to yield to his queen. But he was also her safe haven when she felt exposed.
If you ever read a mafia romance, let it be this one. Vengeance of a Mafia Queen is definitely a dark mafia romance unlike any other and it will stay with you long after you read it.
