Great Read...I was completely involved with the story from jump. I've been to both Canada and New York and seen some of the places described so it made the story feel real along with superb characters. I appreciate the chemistry without the "race issue" hanging over thier heads. I officially decided to learn Italian cause it's a sexy language. This book left me asking "Where is my Dante Lattanza?"!

The Italian is my favorite read for 2016. Antonio is wonderful hes bossy hes arrogant, sexy, and sweet. How could she not fall in love with him? Then theres Hope, Hope is a wonderful person who is scared to death of living life. But boy does she have to live life whether she wants to or not. I adore the storyline of this book and the way Beverly wrote it, its definitely going to be one of those books that I re-read often.
The way I Hope steps up for her sister in this time of need is the spectacular, unexpected, and beautiful. I love the way that you can tell that Hope love Faith and would do anything for her. Even if it means to give up some of the things she loves.
You have got to read this but I promise you you started it you will not want to put it down. Thats how it went for me I started it and could not put my Kindle down I hope its that way for you.

Great Job Beverly!

I've always wanted to learn Italian, being one myself. Thank you for this. Now maybe I can talk to "my people" in the Italian bingo room.

Oh My GAWD! This book is absolutely FABULOUS!! I love Mac and Melina!

This story is not the typical Mafia book. In most Mafia stories the male character is "made", already high on the food chain. Mac is a soldier. It's totally awesome to read about how these men scrimp and scratch to pay their dues to their Capo. It's totally refreshing to understand how the process of becoming made from the ground up.

Mac and Melina meet under unusual circumstances and the timing sucks. But who said love is fair? Fate is a fickle heffa and she doesn't ask permission or wait on anyone. While Mac is working his way from the ground up to become a made man, he's forced to become responsible for one more person, Melina. Mac is in for a rude awakening because Melina can outshoot and kick anyone's butt who talks out the face sideways!

Things are not easy for the duo but this thing between them is worth the hell they go through! Someone is out to end the two....or should I say several people on BOTH sides of the law are out to bring down this duo!

This story is a great start to this series! It's dark, dirty, gritty, and is everything Mafia! The ending is gonna blown your mind! Definitely an OMG moment!

Five stars because Mac and Melina are ride or die!

Note: This book has a pretty major cliffhanger. But don't let that keep you from picking this up!

What would you do for money if you were a single mom with a very ill child? Brandi (her working name) has tried other options, but being a high paid call girl pays the bills and keeps her son Daniel's treatments paid for. She is perfectly satisfied with her life, she works at night and gets to spend her days with her son. Until she meets Marco Valenti.
Marco, while he pays for her company, treats her like a person not a human commodity. As they spend more time together, their relationship progresses from a business relationship to a more personal one. But Marco's business dealings in Las Vegas have put Brandi and her son in danger.
This book was a fantastic look into the life of a single mom doing whatever is needed to take care of her son. She doesn't have any regrets about her actions, she does it for her son. Marco is a super hot Italian guy and it is very sexy when he starts speaking Italian. I just wish I could hear him do it! I loved that Marco cares about Daniel as well as Brandi. Like I said, the only really disappointing thing was that it's a cliffhanger but I'll be waiting for the next part!

This is the first book in the Cravotta crime family saga and it is a standalone novel. Tony Vidal is a womanizer / Bad Boy,  never seeking out the same girl i mean why would he when they run to him.  He is always happy to oblige anytime, anywhere.

Moreover, being a Made Man just makes it to easy. He is so full of himself and most certainly is not looking for a girlfriend, much less a wife.

Elena has always been drawn to made med, hence the reason she is with Rafael Costa! However, once his actual colors appear Elena makes the decision to leave Rafael in a hurry. She seeks help from her family but is turned away and flees to Canada.

This is chocked full of suspense,sexual chemistry between Elena and Tony, and of course heartbreak... Will Tony and Elena convince everyone she's Tony's wife. Will she finally be free of her ex?

Ainsley Andrews is a fun loving person who has decided men aren't in her future. She suffers from a problem no one has been able to help her overcome thanks to her dad.
Lambo Christy is a love 'em and leave 'em kind of guy.  He has had plenty of women in his bed and thanks to his family's money he isn't at a loss for invitations for company.  The one woman he can't get out of his mind is the one he shouldn't be thinking of at all, his best friend's younger sister. So why can't he stay away?
I am a sucker for older brother's best-friend romances.  This one is no exception to that. The story grabbed my attention from the beginning with the characters' initial meeting and kept it throughout the entire story,  I really liked seeing Ainsley's evolution through her self-awareness and how she didn't allow it to own her.  Lambo was patient and protective and though he started as a man-whore, he wholly redeemed himself with Ainsley.  I loved this story,

5 SWOONING Stars!

LUCA. IS. EVERYTHING!!! I could leave my review at that because he really is. Oh! And hes mine, Im claiming him. I couldn't wait to get my hands on Lucas story and these ladies did NOT disappoint! AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm know romance and have given us one of the most perfect book boyfriends ever written. Period. End of story. I swooned soooo hard over this man, I wish he really did exist.

Luca Benedetto. Tall, dark, gorgeous, AND Italian. He wants what his friends have, but never thought hed find it until it literally slams into him in the form of a precocious five year old named Mikey. Mikey is an adorable little boy, but when Luca lays eyes on his mother Sabrina, all bets are off. Sabrina is a single mother who was scorned by her deceased husband. Content on living her life as a single mother and raising her son, she guards her heart and doesnt want to fall for another man. Luca is determined to make Sabrina realize hes in it 110% and will do anything for her and Mikey.

Scoring Mr. Romeo will make you feel all the feels. Its heartwarming and romantic. Its sweet and charming. Sexy and oh, so steamy. Luca will swoon the panties right off you...he certainly did me ;) Luca Benedetto is, by far, my favorite of the three. His story touched me in a way the others didnt. I have been that single mom focused on raising my kids and not about my own needs. The one who guards her heart, determined not to be scorned again. The way Luca loves and adores Mikey is indescribable and what every mother dreams of for their children. Madden and Schwehm are an amazing writing duo and I LOVED the surprise they give us at the end. #Oneclick this series today and get swept away by these amazing friends.

Throttle Me by Chelle Bliss

Joey & Suzy

I've been reading bits and pieces of this story for months... while Chelle rationed those bits and pieces out, I bit my nails, stomped my feet, and did everything short of beg for more!!! This enticing tale will lift your spirits, bring you to your knees, and make you gasp for more air than I fear your lungs can handle! This is a love story, but more importantly, it's a journey of self discovery, acceptance, and peace. Oh yeah, and some uber hot sex scenes you'll be re-reading more times than you can count!!! Well, maybe that was just me... lol!!!

I. Am. Hooked! Joey, a.k.a. City was everything I wanted and needed. A perfect alpha male in so many ways. He's enormous, he's talented, he's sexy, he's got tons of tattoos, and it has to be said, he rides a Harley and this in itself is enough to make my panties burst into flames! I love the fact that he's one of those "what you see, is what you get" kind of guys. Although he harbors things about himself and his past that only those closest to him know, he's pretty much still and open book! Unquestionably one of my favorite lead males characters!

Now, Suzy Q, well, she's so damn cute, you can't help but love her. She makes such a tremendous renovation within herself that by the end of the book, I almost didn't recognize her! In a good way! Not that I didn't love the old Suzy, but the new Suzy, wowza.. I mean, she really changed my perception of love and adoration. Sometimes what we thinks we want is not always what we need and I'm so glad she took a chance on City. Her attempt at swearing had me rolling around on the floor laughing my butt off... I mean, holy hell... "His dong!" - I'm laughing out loud just typing this s***!

Great supporting character cast in all of Joey's family. Boy oh boy, I'm thinking Italian for dinner tonight. And Chelle, I need those recipes... I know you have 'em!!! Joey's Momma Mia is, well, she's perfect. The boss, but also the nurturing, caring voice of reason. Everyone should have a Mom like her! I so can't wait to find out what happens with Michael. Just thinking about that fighter has me salivating all over my keyboard! Of course seeing how Sophia and Kayden are faring warmed my heart and I was glad to see them living the life they were meant to live.

Even though this was Joey and Suzy's book and I loved the climax, I still feel there is still more to their story and I'm hoping we'll see that in the next "Men of Inked" book! There are too many highs and lows to mention, but the pacing is perfect and the dialogue flows quite nicely taking you on a wild ride of love, laughter, and hot steamy sex! It's 260 (Kindle version) pages long and it was enough to grab me by the short and curlys, slap a helmet on my head, and take me for the wildest ride I've been on this year. Chelle, creates the right amount of tension leading to that remarkable climax. I love you Chelle Bliss!! You knocked it out of the park with this one!!

5 Stars cause 10 is not available!!!

I really enjoyed this book. Charlie tried to hide that he was gay from his strict family but finally told them. He hoped they'd be understanding. Instead of supporting their son his parents throw him out. Charlie also lost his boyfriend of 8 years because he took too long to come out. He's feeling pretty depressed not just because he was thrown out of his home but his ex is now happily married. He ends up working for the couple which is difficult for him. Enter Dante, a hot sexy member of the mafia who is drawn instantly to Charlie. These two share such a connection from the start. They get close fast but Dante puts the breaks on and Charlie won't have it. He fights for what he knows is his. Dante has something happen that really opens his eyes and things change for them both, great story!

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*

Gail is trapped in a world where every decision, every movement made my omegas like himself, needs to be done with permission. To get even a bit of freedom he's run away to the only city that gives them just that little bit of freedom he so craves. He works two jobs, a bookkeeper by day, an exotic dancer by night, and though he has pressure from his family to marry and breed, he's happy with his little semblance of freedom.

Lucien and Cyrus, an Alpha and a Beta are in a happy relationship. However, a relationship such as theirs is frowned upon, for an Alpha must always--only--be with an omega. They never once felt the need to find an Omega. Though the occasional human to spice things up was always welcome.
One night Lucien and Cyrus go to a club where they lay eyes on the most beautiful man they've ever seen. Not knowing that their encounter with this man, would change their lives forever.

It was a good story with just enough drama and angst at Gail's situation to keep you hooked. I absolutely loved the little surprise that brought Lucien, Gail and Cyrus together. They're so prefect for each other. Not to mention the knotting was so damn hot! (I want more of this! lol)
But those parents of his!! AUGH!!! I was so freaking... just.. ugh! So damn pissed at them. I hate his parents and his stupid sister! Not to mention that other stupid douche that gets dropped into the picture.

Still, this was such a good book. I can't suggest it enough. It was a fun read. Frustrating to see Gail endure to much...just plain stupidity, but a wonderful end to see them all find their peace and happiness.

Luca Rossi is a gorgeous Italian with secrets to keep. He's in hiding from the Italian mafia. Skylar Shaw is a reporter and Luca tries his best to stay away from Skyler. Her questions and his secrets could get them both killed.

The story is very erotic and Luca is a luscious Italian lover who gave me the shivers. Skylar is beautiful, sexy, smart, and too nosy for both their good.

I enjoyed the build up of mystery and not knowing what was going to happen next. There were several times I was on the edge of my seat.

This is a very enjoyable book I found hard to put down.

I finished this book in less than 24 hours. This book is M/M, which I had never read before. I had to read this because 1) Jay wrote it and 2) I knew it would tie the Marked Men series and her new Saints of Denver series together. I am in awe of how she opened my eyes to a new genre of books that I never really thought were my thing. I absolutely LOVED the character of Lando. He was calm and stay, but HOT, and there was just something in the way he was so sure of himself that made him my favorite! I also loved that he was still included in the Archer family and their Sunday brunches. I just felt for him because he really went through more with Remy's death than even Remy's own brothers  did because he had to go it alone since no one knew he existed in Remy's life. Dom was just the perfect person to help fix Lando even though he is the one used to fixing people. Dom is a caretaker and a helper in his own right and he was just perfect for Lando. I loved having some of the Marked Men and their ladies show up in this book and as for the mystery wedding...I have my theories as to who is getting married and I hope I'm right!
