I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Wow! This book was fantastic!
It grabbed me from the start! I couldn’t put it down! Don and Emilia were great together! Their story was emotionally packed filled with drama, suspense, action, twists and turns, danger, and amazing chemistry! I absolutely loved Ignite You! Read it and you won’t be disappointed!
Another new to me author that I enjoyed. A mafia story that has plots of revenge, moments of suspense, bits of mystery and intrigue and at the heart of it all is a strong female character. Emilia and Dom have known each other since college but due to circumstances, they never got to explore the what if. Now that they are older, the circumstances are still not ideal, but they are finding it harder and harder to walk away from one another. When the past comes knocking, will they have what it takes to put it to bed once and for all, or will old habits die hard?
Ignite You is the first book by Diana A. Hicks that I have read and I loved the combination of suspense, intrigue and steamy moments. The characters were interesting and the storyline engaging.
Emilia and Dom have history and now they are throw back in each other’s lives. There is a lot a stake and they both have to work together to find the answers to so many questions while attempting to stay safe as they are both caught in the web of the mob.
Ignite You is the first book in the Cole Brothers series by Diana A. Hicks. The book primarily focuses on Dom Moretti and Emilia Prado, each character with a tragic past and ties to the mafia and cartel. Having known each other since law school, both are unwittingly brought back together 5 years later and pulled right back into the pasts they are both running from. Emilia is trying to get revenge on her cousin’s husband and Dom is trying to escape his foster father. Neither one wanted to cross paths again, but Dom and Emilia do and it’s a slow-burn romance that catches the pages of this story on fire. I read books 1 through 4 prior to grabbing this book (book 0 in the series) and now I want to read them all again. We get a small glimpse of the Cole brothers and it’s enough to pull me back into their world.
Ignite You is full of twists and turns, double-crosses, heartaches, and danger. The relationship between Dom and Emilia is smoking hot, dangerous, and leads them down a path neither wanted to take. When you’re the daughter and son of a mafia or cartel, though, are you really ever free? I was shocked and in awe of the winding paths this story took. So much drama, emotion, and steam. The author injects so much emotion into her Cole Brothers stories and Ignite You runs the gamut.
I felt Emilia’s frustrations and her need for revenge, and her loss and sorrow. I felt Dom’s protectiveness, his love and desire for Emilia, and his hatred toward his prior life. The magic is there between Emilia and Dom, and the author unraveled their issues layer-by-layer. I was engaged in the story completely. The book is full of heart-pounding danger, along with the realization that some people just aren’t who you thought they were and others are better than you could ever imagine.
The characters are realistic and imperfect. They are strong, heroic, and noble. They make mistakes, bad judgement calls, and put themselves in danger. Best of all, though, they love hard and true. The chemistry between Emilia and Dom is unmistakable. The sparks sizzle off their skin every time they are together, whether right next to each other, or across the room. The book flows along perfectly paced, had a wonderful plot, side stories, and secondary characters. I could not put Ignite You down.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
Exciting and amazing! I was sucked in from the very beginning and unable to put it down until I finished. Dom is one of those men that you can see why he is arrogant and can’t help but also fall for him. The chemistry between Dom and Emilia is palpable. They’re also so well described and developed that you can’t help but feel as though you are there and you know them. Great story!

Emilia didn’t make friends and studied hard to get where she is in life, a damn good lawyer. She was the daughter of a mafia boss that was betrayed when she was young by a family friend named Levi. Levi wanted her father’s position and he showed up one night under the ruse of joining them for dinner when he shot and killed her father. Levi turned on her and her mother, shot both of them and left them for dead. Both her and her mother survived and stayed hidden under false names. Emilia was out for revenge and playing the long game.
Dom also grew up in a mafia family. He wanted out and chose to go to school to be a lawyer to do so. While in college he meet Emilia and was attracted to her at first sight. He tried to get her to date him, but she ignored him and everyone else. Both of them on a mission.
Emilia’s cousin married Levi and had a few kids, when Levi’s abusive nature became to much, she went to Emilia to help her divorce Levi. Levi hired Dom to be his lawyer and after a brutal deposition, that Emilia had her assistant attend so Levi wouldn’t recognize her, her cousin backs out and tells Levi who Emilia really is and that he never killer her all those years ago. Levi comes after Emilia and her mother to finish the job and Emilia finally decides to openly go for her revenge. Dom, who understands revenge better than anyone, tries to talk her out of it, but ultimately gives in and helps her get what she wants…for Levi to pay for what he did.
There is an attraction between Dom and Emilia that goes deeper than just physical. Both of them understand the struggle of leaving the mafia and how difficult it is to get back at them. The scars that cover them inside and out are signs of coming out of a battle you were never ment to survive, they are a badge of honor and survival.
The book, while well written, was a little cliche with all the legal action against the mafia type stuff. I did a few eye rolls throughout, but overall it was good.
I liked this book. It is an intense, emotional and fast paced read. Dom and Emilia relationship was complex and I liked their chemistry. The story was entertaining and offered up lots of drama and suspense.
This book was fantastic! It grabbed me right from the first page. I adored Dom and Emilia, they had such great passion and chemistry. They were simply perfect for each other. This story is filled with twists and turns, danger, suspense, and steamy scenes. A enjoyable story and I loved every single page of it. A definite must read.
Ignite you is a fantastic mafia/cartel read. The fire and passion between Dom and Emilia is smoking hot. The action in this book will keep you on your toes as Dom and Emilia both face their pasts head on. Dom and Emilia are incredible together. They will not disappoint at all. I couldn’t put this one down.
