I could not put this book down. Loved getting to read Bear’s perspective but also loved the parallel running stories. Can’t for the next one.
Nicole Banks’s latest release is a must read for anyone! You will enjoy reading this book, The Storyline and The Characters too. Can’t wait to read her next book.

I love Bear and his story. While following different main characters, this will definitely be better enjoyed and understood if Tesoro is read first. This is a gripping story filled with thrills, twists, passion, revenge, drama and danger. Characters are very well developed and made for a fantastic read.

Wow! That is all I could think of when I finished this book.
The story of the Delucias family was explored in this part and continues afterwards. Bear and Cam find each other despite both being broken. Still not full of dedication together, but the road to it seems to go better than that of Tommy and Naila (although their story is certainly not over yet!)
Tommy is still at the head of the empire his father built, but he receives an offer from an unexpected source that makes him think he can leave that live behind.
The end of the book is in and in sad. You know it is coming and yet it is unexpected.
I felt the romance that arises between Bear and Cam mainly from the descriptions from Bear’s POV. He is so convinced that he is too bad because of his past and his actions that it is good to see that he dares to believe in a future with Cam
Highly recommended after reading Tesoro

This is the second one in this series and now we get to hear Bear’s story. Cam and Bear have great chemistry but secrets and lies may keep them apart.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book is the second in the series and packs a punch. Bear and Cam balance each other very well. They have a story that is full of heartache, danger, drama, risk, lust and love. Cam makes Bear feel again in a good way. He is also adds the darkness that she needs without dimming the light. When danger comes, he knows that he has to protect her from it all. What is not expected are secrets and lies that come out. These two have a lot of chemistry but they have to survive to have any future together. I look forward to the next book in this series

This is and was a highly anticipated book.
Bears story needed to be told. We were introduced to his character in Tesoro. These books seem to run along side each other, reading Tesoro first is still a good idea because this is Bears version of events.
Cam cones into Bears life at the worst possible time and yet he can not seem to stay away. But old enemies are out there and he has many considering his line of work.
But the connection is undeniable and unexpected die to the age and maturity differences between the two. Just when you this the drama and excitement is slowing down it rams you in the ribs.
A friend
A Lover
A protector by nature
Read as Bear takes on so much responsibility for not only Cam bit Tommy and Nailia too.
Secrets and misunderstandings may cost him more than his life though

Bear and Cams story starts of where book 1 ends woth some overlapping with a different point of view. The story has you engaged what Cam went through in her past and what Bear is willing to do to accept someone else in his life and keep them safe. But nothings ever plan sailing when your in the mafia. With well developed characters, action, suspense drama, violence, hot scenes and more!

“No one gets out of this life without a little bit of karma.”
I anxiously waited for this release and I was not disappointed! This book was filled with pain, regret, revenge, fear, heartache, passion, hope, endings, beginnings and all the alpha goodness you’d expect.
“Did she not know the same hands that touched her had been the same hands used to extinguish the light from someone else?”
Some heavy subjects were woven into this story. The heaviness and heartache with the loyalty and sacrifice friends make for one another was also present.
“And while I plan to break you, it’s to watch you fly apart in my arms where you belong. I’m going to push you past the point you think you can go.”
I can’t get enough of these characters. Fingers crossed Bishop gets his story next.
Strangely enough, I found it hard to get engaged in this story initially even though I had read the first book in the series. Once the story started moving, I found it enjoyable. This story was intense! He was a fascinating creature who I wish was real. The intensity that ran through this story was palpable.

Finally!!!!!!!!! My man (yes Bear is all mine) gets his own book!!!!!! This book did him justice
There are no words that will sum up how freaking good this book is, seriously it was captivating from the first page to the last.
Nicole Banks writing was just brilliant, this is her best work yet. The story flowed easily, the plot twist and all the surprises, had me on edge. The way she brought out the raw emotions mixed with passion was perfect.
Bear this man, his story, his soul and his love. No other character has a hold on me the way he does
Bear’s journey in this book, is one you don’t want to miss. The relationship between him and Cam is so damn intense that at times, I was just speechless oh and their chemistry, sweet laaaawwwddd have mercy might be best to read in private
If you have a thing for Mafia stories, bad boys with sweet spot then this book is just what you need!!!
This story starts where Tesoro ended so definitely read that book first. Now we get to see Bear’s point of view. He puts everything into protecting the family. When secrets are revealed then what? I enjoyed this intense, thrilling story. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The second book in the Tesoro series a well written story and the first book I have read in this series. I will say read these books in order. I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Bear is mine alllll mine!
Definitely need to read Tesoro first. I even said to myself while reading Tesoro that I want Bear’s story and gosh darn it I willed it into happening. Well Nicole Banks did all the hard work.
What a ride. A gripping, thrilling and delicious ride. This story was hard to put down. Total page turner. My kindle was about to burn up in my hands it was such a hot read.
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!
