There’s an overall story and some side plots that help give depth to each character. I couldn’t put it down. I could have easily read it in one sitting.

Their tal is not easy and no matter how hard he pushes she won’t let go.

Between Heaven and Hell is about Cord a mafia son, and Ava a governors daughter. This book has some major upside and downs. Cord is the darkness, every day he fights it. The question is will it consume him? Ava is the light, will she fall into his darkness? You have to read it to find out.
Another awesome book from Erin Trejo! This mafia romance was captivating from the very beginning! So many emotions, love, heartbreak and the unknown what was going to happen had me reading in one sitting. The hero bad boy, Cordae, was the perfect mafia boss that has his world turned upside down when he meets Ava. The back and forth with two always kept you on edge on how their story would end.
loving the Vitale family
Ava and Cord grabbed my heart
broken dark emotional heartstopping twisted love story
ready for more
i truly enjoyed this book. it showed a troubled man forced into a life of darkness, which only continued to consume him as his roles changed. Ava was a prisoner of her father’s rule, but learnt to find her own way in life. i loved her belief in cordae. she gave him hope, even when he seemed to have none at all. the only thing i would say is although it was a truly amazing book, with the feels, tears near the end. i felt cordae seemed to wallow and repeat himself regarding the darkness within. it was obvious his inner turmoil withered his mind, leaving the man with little room to decide which path to follow.
This book is off the charts! Erin can write mafia like no other author I know! Alli can say is this is not a typical mafia story nor a mafia love story but something different no.better! LOVED IT!!
Between Heaven and Hell is a dark mafia romance that is fill with heartbreak, grit, tragedy and love. Another wonderful read by Erin Trejo!
I’m not even sure I can describe how amazing this book is. Within the first few pages, I was unable to put it down. It’s one of those books where you stay up all night reading, even though you know you have to be a functioning adult the next day. If I had an actual book (instead of kindle addition) I would shove this in my friends faces and force them to read it, the book is that good.
This book is about darkness and light. It’s about good and bad. It’s about how true love will find a way, even when all hope seems lost. There was so many twists and turns along the way, that I wasn’t able to predict anything. I love when that happens in a book. Erin once again managed to write one of the best books I’ve ever read.

Well done Erin, you have outdone yourself telling this chilling, dark romance story about the Mafia, Love and Redemption!
I love Erin’s MC books, but her Mafia books are on another level!
There is so much emotion brewing inside of Cord, but he keeps it so locked down that nobody sees it. He is thrust into being the head of his family early in life. after seeing what that life can do to a person, he believes that he will never have a family of happiness.
Meeting Ava makes him start to see that maybe he can have that happiness, but the dangers of his life still weigh on him.
I loved this book!
I am absolutely floored!! I have read a lot of dark mafia books but this has to be my all time favorite now. I’ve said this before and I’ll keep saying it, Erin Trejo is a master with her words!! I absolutely love how she manages to grab you from the very start and keeps holding on way after you’ve finished the book!! There were times while reading this that I wanted to jump through my phone and shake these characters and I found myself even in tears a few times but that ending… WOW!!
Erin, once again you have completely rocked it!! I love your dark, twisted mind girl!!
He was both respected and feared by everyone,as the head of the Vitale Crime family. He was the devil in disguise and a soul to match.
She was the daughter of a politician,who was as dirty as hell. She just wanted out to live her life,but kept getting pulled back in. She was his heavenly angel two saves his soul.
Together they keep each other sane in this crazy, dangerous world.
He doesn’t want to taint her, but she is an angel with dirty wings. She is seeing that there is good in him. They find their love between heaven and hell. That’s all the devil and his angel can ask for.
This book hooked me in from the very beginning with the great plot and the well defined characters that made me feel like I was peeking through a window watching as their story unfolded!
Erin doesn’t disappoint with this book. I loved reading Cord and Ava’s story. Any time I’m about to read a book by Erin, I need to devote my entire time because it’s that good I can’t stop reading.
This was another amazing read by this author and I can’t say enough about it. It was full of internal struggles with both the main characters. Cordea spent much of the book struggling to accept his feelings for Ava because he didn’t feel like he deserves her while Ava spent her time trying to convince him that he did. Throw in a few plot twists and the boom surpassed any expectations I had.
This book was full of passion, angst, violence, acceptance and family loyalty. All these factors make it a definite must read for any reader.
He only knew one thing and it wasn’t love or emotions. At least not until he met her. There was something about her. He tried to push her away tried to make her see he wasn’t a good man. He even knows he is the devil he has become what he despised. When lives are lost and the need for vengeance becomes his driving force it may take him too.
This author loves doing these twisty turny stories that aren’t what they seem but more than you can believe but all so real and emotional. He was everything you want to hate until he isn’t. Awesome story with everything you need to keep you turning the pages. I love this author but hate that she makes me love her darkness and understand it. Yes I will read more I have to.
Between Heaven and Hell is Cord and Ava’s story. And what a dark, twisted and erotic story it is.
Cord is the “boss” of the family, he lives in the dark, seedy side of life. People fear him, and for good reason, he is an emotional vacuum.
Ava is a beautiful woman, full of light, innocence, and goodness. The complete opposite to Cord.
However when these two meet their worlds will never be the same again, literally!
Ava will learn that her life is not what she thought, people are not what they seem and that sometimes the dark is the only place to find salvation.
Ava’s innocence and light enters Cord’s world and turns it on its head, leaving Cord craving her.
A story full of dark feelings, actions and people, lost innocence, betrayal and tragedy. Is it possible to overcome a lifetime of conditioning??
I love, love, loved this book!! If you love a gritty, emotional, mafia story then you have to read this!!!!
