I always knew I’d become the Boss of the Vitale family one day. I didn’t plan on it being so soon. Now that I have the title, I have become everything they taught me to be.Ruthless. Vindictive.Violent. The Demon. I was bred for this life until the day she stepped foot into it. Now our worlds are falling apart and I’m dragging her further into the dark with me.
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this book is. It is definitely not a sweet romance ..

When the time comes for him to take over the mafia he has come to terms with the fact he is the devil and will never love or be loved.

Cord knows he will never be able to give her what she wants and he knows that everyone close to him is in danger especially now. Will he walk away to protect or will the devil put her more in harms way?
This is dark, deep and intense. The journey between Heaven and Hell
Erin is probably the best author at the moment for giving you books that twist and turn so much that you just cannot put them down and this one is no exception Once again I was reading into the early hours not willing to pit it down
Cordae (Cord) Vitale is the dark the latest leader of his branch of the mafia known as the demon a man that killed his own m father when he was just a child He runs his business with an iron fist She is all light The daughter of the governor Ava Sinclair is protected to the point of smothering until she escapes to start to forge her own life He rescues her but walks away knowing she isn’t for him but when he comes across her again he isn’t strong enough to leave a second time now she will be is but will his dark world destroy her.
What did I just read? Oh! That’s right—another book from the Queen of Darkness herself, Erin Trejo. Damn! This story had me all over the place, but I just couldn’t put the book down. OMG! OMG! OMG! I kept doing that throughout the book. Ava and Cord just make the perfect couple and yet, it takes awhile to fully get there. It’s hard to explain to anyone that hasn’t read the story. However, you’ll understand everything once you read the book. Maybe. I’m going to have to re-read this again. It’s one of those stories that you’ll find something different each time you read it. Well done, Erin!! You’ve done it again! I know—it’s repetitive!
I received an ARC from Booksprout to leave a review, but I also purchased the book because it’s Erin Trejo!! Happy Reading!!
Mafia, mayhem, romance, family…
Sounds like a typical romance, right?
One thing that I have learned from reading Erin Trejo’s other works is that there is NOTHING typical within the pages of those suckers, and Between Heaven And Hell is no different.
This ain’t your typical romance.
It will blow the rest out of the competition.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
In this new story from Erin Trejo we are introduced to a new group of characters to fall in love with. And fall in love you will.
Cordae “Cord” Vitale is your quintessential bad boy. Mafia born and raised, posed to take over the family business. Set on a path to Hell.
Ava Sinclair has spent her life being pampered by her parents who couldn’t be bothered to really be involved. Hidden from the truth of the real world, she is a little piece of Heaven on Earth.
What happens when Heaven and Hell collide? When it isn’t possible to bring one completely to the other side? Are they strong enough to find peace in the space between Heaven and Hell?
Between Heaven and Hell: A Vitale Mafia Story is Cord and Ava’s story. Ava is the mayor’s daughter and Cord is the boss of the Vitale family. Cord first sets eyes on Ava during an MMA fight. Cord knows he is no good for her. Ava works as a nurse and her father is controlling of both her life and her finances. This is a dark story with betrayal, full of drama with twists and turns that draw you in till the last page.
I have always been a huge fan of mafia books and movies! I love the dynamics of the crime family, the power, the darkness, the light, the good and bad! Erin Trejo delivers all of that and MORE with this amazing read.
It delivers everything you’d expect from a fantastic mafia story and SO much more with the added twists that this author is so well known for.
I want more!!!
Very good story! Cord and Ava are great characters with great chemistry. Definitely recommend this book!
Holy mother of hotness! This is dark and twisted but passionate and sexy and so much more. I am finding myself gravitating towards dark romances and Erin sure knows how to write one. This is a dark mafia romance with so much emotion that I couldn’t put it down.
I love, love dark mafia romances!! And this one is all dark and twisted! Cordae and Ava are never going to work , I mean never. Cord is the boss of the Vitale family in New York. He is ruthless, cunning and takes what he wants willing or not. Ava is an Angel in his eyes, pure light and goodness. Cord pushes her away at every turn. Now five years later he still knows he is bad for her but when her father shows up at his office to tell him she is missing Cord will raze the city to find her. Will he find her in time?
Twisty Dark Mafia Story
Cord is the darkness and Ava is the light. Cord knew he was no good for Ava and five more years proved just that. At the ripe old age of twenty three Cord is now the crime boss of the Vitale family and he knows he can show no mercy to any that oppose him. Ava is all goodness but her father has a very tight leash on her with controlling her life and her finances. Even though Cord is full of darkness it’s Ava that sees a hidden light that’s within him.
This author knows how to put the twists and turns in her books that has you turning page after page. It is full of darkness, drama, deceit and betrayal. As with most of this author’s books you won’t be able to put it down.
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.
Have mercy! This book had me wiped out and energized at the same time. The emotions and feelings of the characters were so raw and intense. They had me in tears at one point, my heart aching for them and at other times I was wanting to just shake them for their stubbornness.The book is packed with danger, action, betrayal, lust and love. Cord and Ava will test your boundries of what are you willing to endure, accept and do for love. What is too far? Not enough? Check out this book and see what these two do. Worth every second spent reading!!! Love this book. A definite must have!
Wow, I’m not even sure where to begin with this review. I am awe struck with this book. It was such a compelling story and I feel like it must have taken a lot out of Erin Trejo to write it.
The story of Cordae and Ava was of a couple that would never work. He is the boss, the head of the biggest crime family in New York. He runs the show and there isn’t anyone that tells him no. He takes what he wants, be it willingly or otherwise. Ava is like an angel to his eyes from the moment he first sees her. But Cord knows his place so he pushes her away at every turn. To find out the twists and turns of this book you really need to read it. But be forwarded that it is a very dark read. If you want intense than this is the book for you.
Erin Trejo has so much passion in her books and I am really looking forward to the next story from her.
From the first page I knew this was going to be an epic story, it is emotional and pulled at my heart strings, I love a bad boy and Cordae Vitale is definitely that. He falls for Ava Sinclair, the Governors daughter and she him, but because he’s a crime boss, he pushes her away, he has already lost his sister, he doesn’t want the same to happen to her. Five years pass by and he still thinks about her when her father turns up asking for his help, Ava is missing.
Kidnappings and betrayal from someone close will keep you on your toes in this fabulous dark romance that i could not put down
Oh man. Cord and ava. A chance encounter and the life throws Cord into the fire. Years later another chance encounter but this time Cord isn’t going to lose out.
Death, devastation, decisions on life. This book literally has everything, everything. I just about cried with Ava when she got that news!!! Wow, but its soo good. Erin does it again!
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!!
