This is book three in the La Famiglia series. Each of these books are a short read but they are packed full of greatness and details. This is Erik and Tatiana’s story. Erik is a contract killer and his next job is to eliminate Tatiana. Tatiana is a woman who has survived life and not lived it and when death comes knocking, she is not surprised and kind of relieved. This throws Erik off, for two reasons, one is that usually the person whines or puts up a fight and two, he finds himself attracted to her. Proving Tatiana’s innocence will not be easy and keeping their hands off one another will be harder. I absolutely loved reading this book and highly recommend this mafia series. Enjoy!
I absolutely love Erik and Tatiana. Their story is so full of raw emotion and passion that you can just feel it throughout the entire book. Every page takes you on a roller coaster that will break and mend your heart all at the same time. It shows that even when you least expect it the love bug will bite you in the ass.
Sometimes its easier to accept death as it comes. That is exactly what Tatianna is doing when she meets the Ghost who was sent to kill her. But Erik sees something more there is more than just a life at stake here. There is an innocent life at stake. Can he challenge La Famiglia about the mistake that he is making? Quick, fun, hot read. Most definitely one read that you will want to finish in one sitting.
Book 3 in the La Famiglia series and it was a great addition to the series. An enemy to lovers romance that can be read as a s standalone. Tatiana and Erik had a great chemistry even though they were enemies. Loved them as a couple. Great read and a great series.
I read an early review copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Book 3: Tatiana
We were introduced to Tatiana in book 1 and she also appeared in book 2. I was really looking forward to her story. This was a very short, action packed read. I loved Tatiana and her hitman’s story. I was very surprised with one of Erik’s secrets. I look forward to reading more in this series
I received an Arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the third book in the La Famiglia series, and so far it was my favorite! Tatiana is the daughter of Vladimir, who is head of the Bratva. However, he has never treated her as a daughter but more as a chess piece, using her to his advantage. She wants to get away from it, and the night that she finally makes her move to escape from him, she runs into The Ghost.
Erik is known as The Ghost. The person that is hired to complete impossible jobs. He does the job with utmost skill and no emotion, until he is hired to kill Tatiana. However, as soon as he lays eyes on her, he knows this job is different and there is no way he can follow through with it.
These two characters quickly discover that their missing piece is each other, and they will do absolutely anything that they can in order to protect each other and their love. This was an awesome book that I couldn’t put down!
It easy, and all he knows. Get in, get the kill and get out. Easy. Until you put Tatiana Petrov in the mix.
This is a suspensful and engrossing story that captivated me from the very beginning. It is filled with drama and action, and of course steam.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book.
This was my favorite book in this series. I loved Erik and Tatiana they both had dark past and seem to instantly feel an intense connection. He will do anything to protect her and no one knows where to find him. He is willing to do anything to prove that she is innocent.
I push off the bed and stand, the man’s piercing green eyes pin me in place. We stare at each other for a few moments before I squeak out a few words. “Who are you?” “Death,” he growls before wrapping his muscular arms around my waist and lifting me over his shoulder. I should feel fear at the presence of the unknown, but for the first time in almost ten years all I feel is relief.
This is a must read mafia book.
I have received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
Wow! The plot thickens. We’ve gotten glimpses of Tatiana in the past two books and now we have her story. A prisoner herself, Erik rescues her and claims her for his own. But Alex is not easily appeased. There’s a twist and some danger and suspense that had my heart racing.
“Everything I never knew I wanted I found the day I met you.” – Erik
Their immediate connection and passion had me panting and smiling.
I can’t wait for the next book because now it seems we have bigger problems on our hands.
I loved this book so much and if it isn’t my favorite book in the series then its a close second… its dang near impossible to pick between Erik the contract killer/ghost and my favorite dirty talking Mafia boss Alex!
Erik is hired to kill Tatiana Petrov for the part she played in the last book, but when he shows up to complete his assignment he never expects to walk into the situation he sees. He also doesn’t expect to feel anything for her but he instantly knows he can’t kill her. Tatiana on the other hand is consumed by guilt for the role she has been forced to play in the past and almost welcomes death to a certain extent. She’s baffled that the safest she has felt in years is when she is around the person that was hired to kill her. Will these two find a way to save Tatiana’s life and have the contract lifted or will they have to spend the rest of their lives on the run from La Famiglia?
We first met Tatiana in Desolation and again in Devastation but we didn’t know much about her, we really only learned that she wasn’t fully on board with what happened and she tried to help where she safely could. Now we know about her father, what happened to her mother, the kind of life she’s led all these years and you honestly can’t help but feel for her. She is haunted by her past until she meets Erik. His instant need to protect her totally drew me in and I was swooning hard pretty fast. I loved the way the story incorporated the past couples and i honestly never wanted it to end.
In a way this book was the perfect potential end to the series because we came full circle Tatiana but it was left open for future stories. I honestly hope A.J. Alexander keeps going with this series cause I definitely want more!!
I highly recommend this story and this whole series, just make sure to read it in order! *I received and advanced copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review, all thoughts and opinions are my own*
Destruction is book 3 in La Famiglia by A J Alexander. Secrets are exposed. Blood is spilt. Tatiana is in danger and Erik is there to rescue her but her life is still not her own. She now owes La Famiglia. Tatiana now needs Erik more than ever. The book did not disappoint.
Tatiana and the Contracted Hit Man!
Of the three this was the one I most anticipated, and I wasn’t disappointed. Although it felt the shortest, I believe it was the most intense; the adrenaline was high, emotions were high and yes, the insta-love element was instant! This is a novella after all, and time can’t be wasted acting all coy and bashful.
If you’ve read the previous two books in this novella series you’ll know that Tatiana Petrov is daughter to Vladimir, head of the Bratva, and Alex Giordano has contracted a hired killer known only as Ghost to take out those two and other members, as he seeks retribution for damage done to his own family.
Tatiana knows this day is coming, hell she even welcomes it. Having tried and failed because her father keeps her around to do his evil work, she can’t wait for the end. Except when the Ghost comes to deliver the judgement of Alex Giordano, he sees below the surface to the innocence below. By now, I was clutching my literary pearls!
I loved both Tatiana and The Ghost, and I loved the story of these two who should be enemies but couldn’t be. There was still a cost to be exacted, and AJ Alexander again packs a lot of action between two virtual book covers. Lunch time or last thing at night reading, this 5 Star read can be squeezed in anywhere!
This is book 3 in the La Famiglia series by AJ Alexander. This book is about Tatiana and Eric. Tatiana has been forced to do her father’s bidding for years and Eric has been sent to kill her. However, it was love at first sight.
This is a very short mafia romance. The writing is decent, but again I find the character development lacking. I’m all for insta-love but this seems a little to “insta” for me. I’m giving it 3.5 … it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
If you’ve read the previous two books you’ll know who Tatiana is and the roles she played. If you haven’t, she is the daughter of the head of the Bratva, the enemies of the CapoFamiligia.
Erik was sent on a mission, he is a ghost, a hitman. Of course, when he meets Tatiana he isn’t able to carryout his task. He is determined to find out how she is involved, why the Italian’s want her and how to keep her safe in all the danger.
I loved Tatiana. She is a fighter. A survivor. The things she experienced and had to two was insane and the fact that she is still standing is amazing. Erik is a little bit of a mystery at the beginning of the story but we quickly learn more about him and his connections to everything.
Destruction is full of drama, suspense and of course, a few steamy scenes! A MUST READ and with how this end ended I truly hope there are more books in this series!
This was a beautiful emotional read about Tatiana and Eric. The hurt and pain that Tatiana has endured was so hard to read. She was ready for death. But when Eric came to kill her, he saw that she wasn’t the enemy but the one for him. It was instalove and so instahot. She felt safe for the first time. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this wonderful, thrilling, edgy, beautiful love story. This was a great addition to this amazing series. I can’t wait to read more by AJ Alexander.
They just keep getting better! Who thought you could fit so much into 80 pages? This is book 3 in this series(though it can be read as a stand-alone) and it’s just as good, if not better, than the first two.
Wow! A tale of two worlds colliding in insta-love. Not all mafia princesses are the same. Tatiana has done things for her dad that she is not proud of. She has had to do his bidding or die. When Eric is hired to kill her for messing with the wrong mob boss’s family little does he know how bad she has really been used and hurt. This story of redemption, love and understanding will keep you on the edge of your seat. A definite all in one sitting read that you won’t put down till you are done.
Just ok
I enjoyed Tatiana and Erik’s story. I have been looking forward to Tatiana’s story since we met her in the first book. I just thought their love was a bit forced. I didn’t feel their attraction. I do hope Matteo gets a story.
Destruction was a short(ish) read that packed a giant intense punch. In the previous books (which you should read FIRST), Tatiana Petrov is the daughter of Alex’s enemy, and he’s hired a contract killer to take her out. However, when said killer comes face to face with Tatiana, she’s ready to die, which throws him for a bit. The Ghost sees something in Tatiana past the assassinate portion of the program, so things get complicated super quickly, which had me on the edge of my seat dropping f-bombs. You should already know that Alex isn’t going to take Tatiana kept alive very well, then there’s her father as well. So how does it all play out?! You’ll have to hit those one click buttons to find out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
