Description

Once upon a time, there was a guy who got so fed up with life that he resorted to murder and mayhem just to feel alive. Lorenzo Gambini is bored. So f*cking bored. Most people either annoy him or avoid him, afraid to face him. Figuratively. Literally. With his face partially disfigured, scarred, he looks every bit the monster the stories make him out to be: the notorious Scar. They say he's a sociopath. Maybe he's a psychopath. Whatever path he's on, people tend to stay far away from it. show more Until one day, a young woman bumps right into him-a woman just as fed up with life, but for much different reasons. With a Scarlet Letter inked on her wrist and secrets buried deep in her soul, Morgan Myers is running from something . . . or maybe somebody. Lorenzo isn't quite sure. You can bet your ass he's going to figure it out, though. Contains mature themes. show less

I respect how Lorenzo doesn't do a lot of posturing like some males, and Morgan doesn't apologize like some females. They are flawed people, but they are who they are. Both characters are awesome. You don't know what they're going to do next. It's easy to connect with them even if their behaviors are something you would never consider in your own life. Lorenzo is physically scarred across his face and blind in one eye; yet, he exudes loads more appeal than a perfect and fake male lead would. Morgan is definitely not the sweet and virginal type. Both are harsh and real with painful backgrounds, but it's not difficult to find their hearts underneath it all. Morgan is on a mission. A dangerous man is after show more her. No one wants to help. Lorenzo is looking for some excitement and trouble. They make a perfect match.
I loved this story. It kept my attention the entire time. It has mystery, action and raw grit. I stayed up late into the night reading. I haven't done that in awhile. No one knows how to write organized crime quite like this author, and no matter how many she writes, the cast in each is totally unique and believable. I definitely recommend Menace, and I can't wait for the next book.

Really interesting. Unlikeable characters who do bad things, amoral people all around (including the hero and heroine) make this a darker read. The end was really abrupt and that kind of threw me off. Thankfully I had book 2 already waiting.
These narrators are AMAZING! Both have moved to the top of my fav narrators list. Kasha does amazing accents and speaks other parts (male, child) so well.
I loved this book. I’ve never laughed so much in a Mafia romance book. Lorenzo’s and Scarlets characters were well written. Their chemistry leaped off the pages.

Can’t wait to read the second book
Do you like a villain - who is scarred - demanding and total alpha male?

Do you like a heroine who does not care what people say about her, who is sassy, a total babe?

IF you do → read the book!!



My feelings while reading this one:








Lastly asking hubby for money to buy the next book!



Pretty good, I'll continue.
