Enforce

*5 Stars*

It’s no secret that I love RVD books, and that I became obsessed with the Eagle Elite series last year when I finally got a chance to read them. I’ve been devouring her Mafia books ever since. When I was originally reading the series though, I skipped this one because its Elite, book number one, but told from the guy’s POV’s. I was so eager to smash through the series that I didn’t worry about this one at the time.

I’m so glad I finally read it, because whilst yes, I knew what was going to happen, this world that RVD has created is so amazing and so addictive that I was hooked from the very start once again. I really liked reading this through the POV’s of the guys, and it was nice to go back to the beginning and see them once again as it all started, before things got as crazy as they do throughout the series.

Devoured this one and am absolutely hanging out for the next Mafia release we get from RVD. Love her books, but this is my favourite series of hers. I’ll be devastated if she ever stops writing in this world.

Highly recommend! Blood in, no out.

I honestly liked this book much more than I liked Elite. Enforce runs concurrently to Elite but is from the guys POVs. I’ve read (or listened) through the series multiple times now and except for a single read and a single listen ~ I always skip Elite and start with Enforce.

The first time, you kind of have to have Elite ~ but the writing and draw and connection just isn’t as solid as it is in Enforce. And I HIGHLY recommend the Audiobook as the four narrators elevate the experience even higher.

It was nice to go back to the beginning so nice that I have endless highlights and notes on my kindle, that would seriously make for one long-a** review so I’m just picking my favorites to mention. Although we go back to the beginning we’re seeing the beginning from a different perspective, we’re seeing it in our mafia men’s eyes and some scenes were added so don’t be thinking ‘why should I read this I already know what’s going to happen. I already know what went down.’ All I’m saying is you don’t know what went down in the men’s heads until now. Tex and Mo are really flirty toward each other and you could see that attraction right off the bat, “hell no.” I smacked her a**. “You’re sneaking into mine.” Typical Tex not wanting to do the work. There was one scene in the original book that I loved and was excited to see it was included in this version as well it’s Nixon and Trace dancing in front of the cows, “uh, yeah.” I glanced between her and the cows. “I don’t think they’ll mind. Why, what kind of dancing were you thinking of doing? Were you hoping to embarrass the cows and get them to moo?” Nixon it’s great to see once he got his head out of his a** that the man is barely hanging on for control when it comes to Trace, “yes, because of the damn bubbles. Are you done yet?” I twitched in my seat, damn-near needing to sit on my hands.” Sometimes relationships are all about compromise hell they actually always are and for Nixon to consider Trace’s thoughts I thought that was a big step for our bada** hero, “I didn’t respond; instead, I released her hand and walked toward the door, finally giving her the answer she probably needed, but not one I was sure I could keep. “I’ll try to listen.” It was great re-living memories and seeing new ones from the beginning but honestly I’m officially ready for the next chapter to happen in this series.

I love Rachel and I love every book in the series. The characters are so in-depth and entertaining. Very good mafia romance series along with mafia violence.

Sometimes hard to keep track off all the POV characters but over all it’s a good book. LOTS OF DRAMA!!!

Did not finish. Hard to follow, not at “easy read.”
