Oh wow! The twists in this book are good!! Absolutely love the title and the meaning behind it. I would’ve liked to put it in the review but why spoil it?!?! You’ll just have to read and find out for yourself.
You’ll fall in love with Karter, an undercover detective, who is tasked to bring down Dom Roselli. Dom is the don of the Roselli mafia. Genevieve is Dom’s daughter and boy is she a firecracker. True to the nickname Karter gave her but she loves her brother Leo. When Karter and Genevieve see each other for the first time there is definitely lust in their eyes…..until there isn’t.
The longer you’re undercover the more risks you take and more chances that you’ll be discovered. And in the life of the mafia if you are you’re dead. When Genevieve discovers something huge she takes action and boy does she. Let’s just say the twists that happen are huge!!

This was a great take on mafia stories. Karter is busy living a double life when his best friend’s sister, Genevieve, comes to town for a funeral and revenge. When true two meet, sparks fly and hearts quickly get tangled up in the mess, but they both end up going back to their regular lives. At least, they do until Genevieve discovers the truth of what’s really happening and why. Then she comes racing back to make sure that the right people pay, instead of the good man searching for answers beside her.
I enjoyed the twists and turns of this story. While some of the problems appeared predictable at first, the way that they intertwined with other past and present issues made for some surprises and a fast-paced read that I had trouble putting down.
Karter is an undercover agent sent to dig up evidence against the crime family. Genevieve is the daughter of the crime boss he is tasked to protect. These characters are engaging and well developed the chemistry is undeniable. The storyline flowed smoothly from beginning to the end.

I have not read a bad book from this author yet and this book is no exception! The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had a very hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!

What a fantastic read! Genevieve left her mob family behind and went off to start her own life, now she must return because of the death of her brother and to find his murderer. Karter is an undercover cop who wants to bring down the Roselli family. When the two meet there is an undeniable attraction. This story is fast paced, with unexpected twists, revenge, secrets, lies and love. A definite must read and one I recommend.
I have not read the previous book in this series but I enjoyed this as a stand alone. This story is quite the romantic suspense. This storyline follows Karter and Genevieve. The characters are likeable and you can’t help but root for them. They are immediately attracted and have great chemistry. The storyline is complicated as well as compelling. Karter is an undercover cop and Genevieve’s temporary bodyguard. I wasn’t quite expecting the twists that came with his story, but beyond the undercover cop is a compassionate and amazing man. They both end up being exactly what the other needed.

This was a totally unexpected read, and I totally loved it. Genevieve will probably wind up being one of my favorite female leads I’ll read this year; she’s smart, she’s sassy, she doesn’t let anything or anyone hold her back, and she makes the life SHE wants without strings attached. Watching her come back to a life she hated in the name of her murdered brother was a total boss move on her part, and she definitely took advantage of the situation.
Then there’s Karter, who has his own interesting storyline as an undercover cop and Genevieve’s temporary bodyguard. I wasn’t quite expecting the twists that came with his story, but beyond the undercover cop is a compassionate and amazing man who winds up being Genevieve’s saving grace – and she winds up being his, too.
This isn’t like any other mafia romance that I’ve read, and I really enjoyed it! I know it’s a series, but I read it as a standalone and didn’t feel like I missed out on anything. Definitely going back to read the first one!

Okay, so, undercover cop in Vegas, former mafia princess now estranged from her family and living in New York because she wants no part of her father’s business, meet at her brother’s funeral. Her mafia prince brother, who was working with the cop to take down their dad… Nope, not going to be any drama or underhanded dealings in this one.
Fast past and seriously drama and emotion filled, Karter and Genevieve will have you falling for them just as quickly as they fall for each other… although I wouldn’t have done what she did to him – seriously you need to read this!
Great Book…

This mafia romance is so good! I love the twists, suspense and everything these two have to go through to get their happy ending. This story is exciting and beautiful and a definite must read!
Mob story fans, get ready for your new favorite story. This was an epic mafia romance that was the best anti mafia story I’ve ever read. Genevieve Roselli comes back to the home she wanted to forget after her brother is killed. She is dedicated to solve his murder. Karter is an undercover cop who has been placed in the Roselli mafia. Giovanni and him meet and they have an instant spark. Neither one can reveal to the other their true intentions for the family. Then chaos ensues and true lies come out (see what I did there?) This was a great story about love, loss, courage, hope, revenge and bravery. Just when you think you have this story figured out this author hits you with a few plot twists that had me saying “oh my god” out loud. A must read! Get ready to fall for Karter and cheer on Genevieve. As a big mafia story fan, this is definitely going on my favorites list.
