Amy Rachiele

I have really enjoyed this series! Since the kids are now older, this book was a bit darker (more violence). I really liked getting to see more of Alessandra! She has always been an interesting character to me so finally seeing her get her happy ending was nice. I am glad for Troy as well. I never liked Troy and Megan together but I am glad he finally got his happily ever after as well. The book is a fairly quick read too and while you could read it without having read the other books, I show more wouldn't. This is a great series that really has grown as the characters have. Book one starts when they are still in HS so the mob connection is really their parents. By this book, the boys are thoroughly immersed in the Mob world so its very interesting to see the difference.

Just my thoughts...

I loved Tonio, the hero. Why? Cos he is gorgeous and talented and flat out top dog alpha male, he's the mob boss's son (in EVERY sense of the word!! be warned!) They call him lady-killer for a reason - although he isnt a man-ho, he makes smoking look sexyyyyyy, he is fixated on Megan, the heroine, the only gentling influence in his life. (He reminds me so much of Travis from Beautiful Disaster)

Lotsa lustful thoughts but no explicit scenes. The violence though, is typical show more of my idea of mobst
ers - no pulled punches here. He lives by his pop's motto: "Dont think, just do"

Megan is sweet, innocent and beautiful and perfect for Tonio.

I shouldve picked up on where the story was going but missed it because I was so fixated on their relationship and all the other good things about this story.

There is a sequel so watch out for the ending.

I worried about the lack of editing but not enough to put me off. I will be looking out for this author's books and hope the next one comes SOOOOON!

ETA for some good news: - the author says she has ".....re-edited the book, no content changes......" show less

This books wraps the story up nicely, but I felt it dragged in parts. I didn't feel this way about the other books. Also, and i think this was something wrong on Amazon's part, my copy had TONS of edits. Like, words were strikethrough and stuff like that. It made for an annoying read; but again, I don't think that was the authors fault. I haven't had something like that happen before with any book!

I have enjoyed Amy's Mob books and this was no exception. Poor Anya is trapped in a cult and her struggle is so believable. She feels that she can't leave and even when she tries, she can't survive on her own. Its really tragic and sadly how many people in cult environments feel (especially when they are born in the cult!). However, I felt the book was rushed. I would have liked to have things slowed down, explored more, etc. Instead, Anya jumps into bed with Carlo and then they are in love. show more It was so rushed and felt really uncomfortable for me.
