Publication Date: November 5, 2018

They say it’s always the one you least expect …
Andino Marcello made his choices—the right ones for duty and famiglia. But even the right choices have consequences. He’s never been more aware of that fact than he is now. The thing is, Andino isn’t the same man he once was. The mafia wants what it wants. He’ll push until they all break. Even her.
They say love shouldn’t hurt …
Haven Murphy needs to move on—from her pain and the man who caused it. But the faster she tries to run, the more things stay the same. She never thought it would end like this for them. The thing is, Haven isn’t the same woman she once was. The heart wants what it wants. She’ll fight until it all lets go. Even him.
How far will he go for love?
All the way to the very bitter end.
That’s his vow.
My Thoughts 💭
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book gave me all the feels! I was constantly tearing up but this book was a page turner for sure! Andino will get what he wants and he doesn’t care what anyone has to say about it. I loved Haven and Andino’s story! Haven was stubborn but lovable and Andino was turned out to be an awesome manipulator but it was sweet since he was willing to do anything to keep Haven! I definitely recommend Haven and Andino’s awesomely written story!

They say heavy is the head that wears the crown …
Andino Marcello’s world is turned upside down when he becomes the next heir apparent to the Marcello empire. He was comfortable in his place as a Capo, but comfort is for the weak in the world of mafioso. The boss’s seat is waiting. It takes meeting a tattooed beauty who has no idea who Andino is or the criminal legacy he now carries beneath his three-piece suits, and charming smile for him to finally bend the rules set out for him. That doesn’t mean he can keep her.
They say things that never challenge you won’t change you …
Haven Murphy is doing her own thing, and she does it well. The owner of a successful Brooklyn strip club, she makes it her only goal to never fail. She’s just trying to live her life when a morning jog puts her face to face with a man that will change the direction of her life with a single conversation. She knows there’s a dark side to him beyond his good looks, and three-piece suits, but it’s hard for her to care when she wants him. That doesn’t mean he can be hers.
He’s going to break her heart; she’s going to keep his.
Because duty waits on no one.

blurb
In Venice, Italy, a world of cursed diamonds, hidden secrets and twisted fantasies awaits a star-crossed couple who were meant to be together. But can they work together to bring down a villain? And will their love survive it all… or break into a thousand pieces?
GINGER
I’ve always been a pawn. That stops now. I’m ready to play. I’m ready to win.
My past is catching up with me. I left everything behind twice – first, when my sister killed her twin and our parents, and then again when I walked away from the love of my life, my soulmate, Ryker Marino.
Now, both of my worlds are colliding. My sister is coming for me, but not if I find her first.
Astor is crazy. Evil. She won’t stop until she’s killed our entire family.
I follow her to the other side of the world – Venice, Italy.
Here, a game of cat and mouse draws me further into her trap.
Here, one of us will end the other.
But what Astor doesn’t know… is that I’m ready for a fight.
RYKER
I’m The Emperor. L’Imperatore. And I’m going to win my girl back.
Ginger disappeared without a trace seven years ago. I uprooted my life because of her. I moved to a different continent. I became obsessed with a cursed diamond that has shaped my family’s lives for centuries.
But what if the stone isn’t to blame for our misfortune? What if everything, including losing Ginger all those years ago, is my fault?
I have to face my fears. I have to find Ginger. I have to bring her back.
But there is a third player involved in this game of chess… And she’s about to beat us both.
My thoughts 💭
⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was just an okay read for me. I didn’t feel like it was a dark romance…I didn’t hate it and I didn’t love it either. I didn’t like how Ryker is “The Emperor” but didn’t check out his assistant’s background or anything…The whole Astor situation made no sense to me. She sent notes about harming Ginger but didn’t really want to hurt her and her excuse was that her obsession got the better of her….She’s been sending threatening notes and that’s all she had to say? 🤷🏾♀️ Ryker and Ginger has some good steamy scenes but overall this one just wasn’t for me. I really liked the cover.

This was a well written mafia romance! I can’t wait for the next book to find out if Andino and Haven find a way to be together! I did feel like Andino was being a little selfish by not letting Haven know the situation before hand. I loved independent and sassy Haven! I loved Andino and Haven’s s*xy chemistry and I definitely can’t wait to read what’s next for them!

Sergei Orlov has lived a life of dark corruption. Denying himself any bit of normalcy and happiness as a way to protect his family—of blood or Bratva.
This was a wonderfully written story! I enjoyed the drama, Bratva and bdsm. Raisa and Sergei were hot! Raisa had a hard life prior to becoming Sergei’s submissive. Sergei is just the right Dom for Raisa, they balanced each other perfectly. If you enjoy romance that’s dark and hot I definitely recommend this book.
