Holy smokes this book has left me with a major hangover. This book is not for the faint of heart. KRS is about to unleash an mammoth monster of a story onto an unsuspecting audience. Sal is about to be put through his paces and I mean there are things that happen to him that no one could have predicted.
This book is an emotional roller coaster. At times you are not sure whether to laugh, cry or scream at the pages. Deceit is now the name of the game. Sal entire world, alliances and relationships he has spent years forging are about to go up in smoke. He is now only focused on one thing. Iris. It has been and always shall continue to be about the girl. You do not want to get in his way.
Manipulation is key. Sal is unraveling. He is drifting further into the darkness in his mind and the beast awaiting shall have no mercy on those who cross him. I have to say I was flabbergasted at the turn of events.
They think they are smarter than Sal, but they are underestimating the lengths he is willing to go to and his capabilities. Sal is a chameleon and knows exactly who to use and when. It is just a matter of time before everything implodes. Who will be left standing at the end?
Completely mind blown after this read! This book took hold of my mind from the beginning and took me on an epic read that I felt straight to my bones. Sal is such an intense character that I loved reading about skeletons and all. This book left me with twists and turns and doubts of which character I can trust and believe. Truly an amazing read
KRS has done it again! There is never any doubt that you should be ready to be totally rocked emotionally when KRS releases. The world she has created surrounding Sal and friends is dark, twisted and the wildest emotional roller coaster I’ve ever been on.
FLW is a continuation of Sal’s story – it takes you along for the ride involving major twist and turns, ups and downs and some of the hardest decisions and toughest times that Sal has had to face. Nothing is easy in the game of ‘Love & War’!
KRS continues to blow my mind! Her writing and Sal’s World are different than anything I’ve ever read and they keep getting better. I loved every second of this book and can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.
Holy heck again what did I just read… take a bow miss KRS you are one writer who is not afraid to take your readers on a very dark, disturbing and intense but beautiful ride into the wonderful minds and psyches of your fascinating characters!! We always come out the other side with a greater appreciation of you and the stories you create in your truly beautiful mind. Sal Raniero what can I say… he is one brilliant but devastatingly devious HOT son of a b&%@h.. in combination with Iris and Deacon they seem unstoppable, their story is definitely not for the faint of heart. You will go on an unimaginable roller coaster and get off at the end going WOW.. I want to go again. Take a chance if you will you so wont be disappointed.
Holy crap Kailee, where do I start? Once again, you have surpassed all expectations in this rollercoaster ride of Sal. Beautifully written and completely captivates the reader from the first page to the last. Deliciously dark and twisted. Cannot wait to continue in this epic journey with you!!!!
Like always Kailee Reese Samuels never ceases to amaze me.
Famous Last Words is a psychological roller coaster. When I was reading I went through every possible emotion, I felt every word in this book.
In this book secrets will be reveal, in others words the suspense will leave you hook in your seat until you finish it.
We see Sal in his strongest, vulnerable and bravest moments. I suffered when he puts himself in prison.
But when we think everything is confusing, things start taking a turn.
Deacon is a very important and helpful person in Sal’s life. He gives Sal a much needed support in every possible way, that makes me fall more in love with him.
Since the first book I read of Kailee I fell totally in love with Sal. She has me hook into this world that I never want to miss any of her words.
I recommend, well I demand that people read Kailee books. You’ll never regret meeting her amazing stories.
Wow, what can I say! This story about Lucas Salvatore (Sal) Raniero, the golden boy, the chosen one, and prince of Boston Mafia is full of surprises—you will either like him or hate him! I was flabbergasted with the unexpected revelation that happened, but it is jaw-dropping good! This dark Mafia psychological thriller is full of emotional angst; it is riveting, dark, and wicked with some steamy sex scenes that are off-the-chart hot! You NEED to READ! This story is not for the faint at heart, if you like an easy love story or an easy hero/heroine, run far as it may be hard for you to read with all the graphic details. Find out if Sal gets the person(s) he loves and what happened at the end—you will be astounded. Kailee Samuels you did it with this twisted, steamy, and disturbing dark romance with deep and troubled characters. The storyline is fluid, and you won’t regret reading this book!
Once again this author just takes my breath away. When it comes to writing a review I’m always at a loss of words. What could I possibly say about this amazing book that would do it justice? Not sure but I’ll go with it is incredible! I loved every minute of it. I couldn’t put it down and definitely won’t be forgetting it anytime soon. I’m so excited to see where the author takes readers next. Five huge stars all the way!
Once again the Queen of the dark written words has me all befumbled. Through this whole journey she has pushed the limits of my brain. I never know what path to follow. Our favorite bad boy has grown up, he says he’s a bad man but there are plenty of redeeming qualities. I’m so confused and concerned for Sal. Who can we trust (because at this point he is we) This book took Sal on a dark and twisted roller coaster ride. Impending doom, emotional turmoil, wild sex, increased heart rate, and a crazy beautiful love story is what awaits for your reading pleasure and pain. This author is so complex, she drives me crazy and then back. My mind is blown and I’m having a book hangover.
I always hesitate before reading stories by this author, because they come through so hard and my poor heart gets an emotion overload every time. This is one of those stories that will hold your mind and your heart hostage. You’ll love every minute of it.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
He’s the only son. The chosen one. The golden boy. And the Kid. And I’m Sal Raniero’s soulmate. He is the man I love more than words, more than the air filling my lungs, more than the blood rushing in my veins. My moon rises and falls with every kiss from his lips and bittersweet memory we create. We did it, narrowly escaping his father’s reign of terror, but the problem is we are now seperated and far apart for the sake of safety. I have sought refuge undercover, and Sal has gone into a cage, which will paralyze his actions and turn his insidious thoughts into reality. His worst nightmares will come alive and sen him into madness. While he is in captivity, hidden for his protection, I understand this will change us. I know we will never be the same. Breaking up may save our lives, but will it shatter our love?
I highly recommend that you read Juliet and Salt Kissed Love before reading this book. People read these books in all kinds of order. I know that I have but this one is best read after you have read the other two. Trust me they are amazing and your going to love them. Kailee Reese Samuels doesnt do short books either so you have plenty of time to spend with these character’s, especially Sal. I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t love Sal for one reason or another. Now one to the rollercoaster of mind blowing goodness that is this book. Holy cow I could not put this thing down. I have read and read and loved every second that I got to spend in Famous Last Words. To say that Sal is one complex character just might be a understatement and if you have read about him you know that it is just about pointless to try and guess anything that is going on with him. This book is full of twists and turn and just when you think you have them figured out then bam something happens that throws you off all you thought you had figured out. I swear too this book plays like a movie in your head and you just forget that the real world exists. Just trust me and grab this book. Your going to be like me and the first thing of Kailee Reese Samuel’s you read will have you hook on her hard. I love how she writes her books and the mind blowing things she puts me through. Run grab this and make sure you buckle up. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride to say the least.
Wowza! This book covers so much stuff. Sal goes to jail to get some perspective on his life in the first part of the book. He goes back and forth in who he can trust. He’s constantly second guessing everyone’s motives and gets paranoid about people screwing him over. He stays steadfast that Iris and Deacon would never let him down. So many times I was hitting my head about how dumb he was being. But Sal is on a journey to self discovery and figuring out how to take his father down. He has to go through so many jumps and hoops to get to where he needs to be.
This was a great journey in Sals story.
You definitely have to read all the books with Sal (there are a lot) to get this book. There is also a lot of past conversations that help fill in the blanks from the other books that was very helpful.
I dont even know were to start on this book. Wow what a roller coaster ride of darkness that will have you feeling breathless and twisted and steamy darkness. This is a heart pounding read that will have you taking your time reading this thriller story series. I just cant express enough words about this book other then you will take your time to read and feel the words flowing from each page. This story will take you deeper in to Sals mind and have you needing to have more of the story.
I’m blown away by this story. Utterly speechless right now. My emotions and jaw dropping have reached a new level with Sal and all the revelations coming to light. Just when you begin to think you have something figured out there are more twists and turns you didn’t see coming. A beautifully twisted read mixed with suspense that keeps you turning the pages needing all the answers. I need more and cannot wait for her next book.
This book is epic in every sense of the word. You don’t just read Kailee’s books, you LIVE them, and oh my, what a life!
The story behind each character is so rich and unpredictable, all your emotions are tapped and sometimes at a whiplash pace. That is why this particular book is so spellbinding … every character’s story is revealed with twists and surprises, much like getting a grab box where you might try to guess what’s inside it, but when you actually open it, it’s not what you think but still delightful. So much more is revealed about the characters we have all grown to love/hate, and we are introduced to some fantastic new characters. The beauty of all of it is how cleverly all characters are intricately tied together.
I’m eagerly awaiting the next book (and so will you)!
I had to take a day to process everything I was feeling after reading this, and I still feel like I can’t come up with an adequate review. As other reviewers are saying, wow.
“Love it, hate it, own it; It’s mine.”
I still have to say, I don’t love Iris. I don’t think she’s good for Sal, but she is who Sal wants, so we go with it because we support true love. I feel that so much more was revealed about Deacon, and his place in Sal’s world was cemented because of his loyalty, because of who he is, because he’s good for Sal. There’s a level of intimacy between the two that is incredibly rare and so inspiring. It’s helped to cement for Sal the acceptance of who he is.
Sal’s mountain is crumbling and he needs to pick up the pieces and try to make it as whole as he possibly can, which is hard to do when he’s voluntarily put himself in prison. I found myself making a list of who needed to go, and the list is long. When Sal starts working on this list, it is going to get crazy, so we have something incredible to look forward to in the next book.
I continue to be impressed with the storyline, the directions chosen, and the depth of details in creating such intricate lives from imagination. I talk a lot about this world Kailee has created because it is an entire world unto itself. It spans a catalog of books, and to possibly be able to create a realistic world and have such a huge cast of characters, each with such specific roles, is a marvelous feat.
Carla’s Five Star Review
Wow just Wow! This story has left my head spinning! Such a wild roller coaster ride! I swear just when I think I have figured out what all is going on, revelations come to light that leave me once again wondering what in the heck is going on! I really shouldn’t be shocked because Sal is one complex character, and, of course, this is one of the main reasons I love him so much! As always, this amazingly talented author draws you into Sal’s world, so much so that the rest of the world just fades away. If you are looking for a book/series that is sure to keep you guessing from beginning to end, this is it!
Kudos to Kailee Reese Samuels for taking us on another wild ride!
Ms. Samuels takes the reader on an emotional heart pounding crazy roller coaster ride.
You can feel the love she has for her characters,especially Sal come alive through her words.
Sal places himself in a very vulnerable situation.
No friends.
No backup.
Where anything can go wrong.
His dependent on his wits,brains and skill.
Once again just when I thought I had some things figured out.
Well the author said oh no you don’t!
Yeah the twists and turns are certainly unexpected,even though they shouldn’t be because this is Kailee Reese Samuels we are talking about here.
Waiting for more Ms. Samuels!
Mind blown. Nerves shattered. Heart all over the place. This tense, detailed, plot rich book takes you through a tumultuous ride with Salvatore Raniero at his strongest, at his most vulnerable, at his most stressed out and at his bravest. There were times when I had to regroup in order to keep up with the convolutions of the plot, but began to see some of the patterns emerging for the future…the complexity of any Kailee Samuels’ book can leave you breathless at her sheer, wonderful audaciousness!
Interestingly, I found myself falling even more in love with Deacon! I can so see what Sal sees in him and Kailee introduces some new, fabulous characters that just add to the reading experience…Mock, Naby, Ronnie (loved Ronnie so much!!), Moses, to name but a few.
With each book, Kailee displays her sheer love of words and ideas, one which I share, and her brain fizzes over with amazing concepts, images and descriptions. With Famous Last Words she brings us a story which sweeps through the pages with passion and a fabulous swagger to match Sal’s own. The discussion generated by the quote from J Arthur Proofrock also played out throughout the book; being able to love without always liking is such a vital part of our emotional state and it plays a massive part in this book! Love it!!
A standing ovation to Ms Reese Samuels! OMG I love her twisty mind, if you think you have things worked out guaranteed you aren’t even close. Moves are being made around the board like a well played game of chess. Stay focused, you don’t want to miss a thing while trying to keep up with the current play.
Our main players are Cesario Reniero head of the mafioso famiglia, Salvatore his son who’s a member of The Unholy, Reckless Rebellion a MC Club, Lotus the Japanese Mafia, Sybil an undercover operative and The Allegiance just to name a few. With so many under handed deals, who can be trusted and who is trying to sabotage the operation?
Daddy wants his son to return to Boston, as the only son of the family he must take his rightful place by his fathers side. However Sal’s goal is to bring his fathers to his knees. It’s become very volatile and a decision has been made, Iris is to be moved through a series of safe houses whilst Sal does a stint inside. He has to watch his back with so many enemies present and he has a lot of time for reflection and to rearrange all the pieces of the puzzle. Sal’s paranoia keeps us on the edge with him, Deacon tries to keep him anchored, but without Iris he is floundering.
