Pulls you in and makes you part of the story. You can see what she writes and the characters come alive. This is a must read. I loved Zaira and Michael such a great couple and the side characters are a wonderful addition to the story. Kept my interest through the whole book. Received it from booksprout and voluntarily left my review.

This is my first read by Amy Cecil. It’s not bad a little slow on in the beginning. Strong characters and plot. Just a slow first couple of chapters. I will probably read more from this author.

The writing was so great that I could picture the scenes very easily and vividly.
The characters were strong and real, the chemistry great, the twists and turns challenging.
Mysteries, lies, family feud and love… Quite a story indeed!

Mafia princess Zaira Bonita is terrified when she overhears her father Alberto agree to let his second in command Victor marry her. Zaira pleads for help from her brother Vince who promises she won’t have to marry Victor. Mafia prince Michael Vitali gets a visit from Vince who tells him about Zaira’s situation and asks him to kill his father and Victor. Michael agrees on the condition that he gets to woo and marry the beautiful Zaira. When Zaira trips and hits her head during her father and fiancé’s murder and loses her memory, Michael takes advantage of the situation to spend time with Zaira. When asks Michael why he’s not letting her go home to her family, Michael tells her they’re engaged, and the lies just keep snowballing. What happens when Zaira regains her memory? Note: this story ends on a cliffhanger.
Forgetting the Enemy is an angsty, and steamy story full of twists and turns that you won’t be able to put down. I can’t wait to read Loving the Enemy, Book 2 of the Enemy Duet.

Refreshingly GRITTY yet sensuously romantic, a MAFIA romance MUST-READ!
I absolutely loved “FORGETTING THE ENEMY” by Amy Cecil! While this is the first title I have read by this author, it certainly will not be the last as it is such a refreshing read. “FORGETTING THE ENEMY” has all of the suspense, danger, and grit a reader expects from a MAFIA romance, and it is the first part of a duet, but “FORGETTING THE ENEMY” is incredible. Starting with a slow burn while building the remarkable characters of Michael and Zaira, author Amy Cecil presents her readers with the compelling and sensuous tale of star-crossed lovers from different Mafia families. Michael has just become the head of the strongest Mafia Familia in the city and Zaira is suffering from amnesia. However, Zaira knows one thing; she both trusts and longs for Michael, her fiancé. The question remains, will Zaira feel the same when/if she remembers that Michael is the one who killed her father? While Zaira wants to move ahead with life, Michael does not want to take advantage of her amnesia in fear of losing the one woman he has loved since childhood. I voluntarily read a copy of TITLE and this is my honest, voluntary review. As a practice, I do not give more than 4½ stars to a novella, but “FORGETTING THE ENEMY” is just too good to limit, and there is more to come in this emotional DUET! If you are looking for a GREAT romance and like the MAFIA trope, then “FORGETTING THE ENEMY” should be your next purchase. Worth the time and cost, “FORGETTING THE ENEMY” is a MUST-READ and is going into the FAVORITES collection! I STRONGLY recommend that you purchase your copy of “FORGETTING THE ENEMY” today! Happy pages!
The book is a good romantic suspense read. The story has a good story line. The story dose end in a cliffhanger. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is a good start to the series.

This book is part one in a duet so this story does not end on the last page……which let’s be honest it sucks but at the same time, I would have been disappointed to see Michael and Zaira’s story end so quickly. These two characters have a lot of well….just everything together. I think it is what challenges them and makes them such great partners. However, life is not always kind and leads us down the correct path always which is what Michael and Zaria find out from themselves, this leads to misunderstandings and mishaps that just fuel the story and keep you reading. As heartbreaking as it was to read the last page, I am so excited to continue everything that comes at Michael and Zaira with crossed fingers of a HEA.

I liked this mafia/Mobster romance with an amnesia twist. Zaira is used as a pawn by her father, a mafia don. He is cruel, manipulative, and devoid of any love for Zaira. Used as a pawn to further his goals, he has no problem marrying her off to Vince, despite knowing that he will be a cold and cruel husband.
I loved the amnesia twist in this romance as it set up a chance for Michael to be with Zaira. I liked the way the author has him softening towards her despite their painful past.
The dreaded cliffy is ever present, but I was warned. Can’t wait to see how this star crossed couple find their way back to each other for a well deserved HEA.

This author right here sure writes a darn good book there’s just not enough stars!!
If you ever read one of Amy Cecil’s books you’ll know what I mean, she pulls your attention from the very beginning to the very jaw dropping end!!
Can’t wait until the next book comes out!!
There aren’t enough stars to rate this book! I loved Amy Cecil’s MC series but Michael & Zaira’s story absolutely blew me away. One of the best books I’ve read this year! From deceit to love, violence and heat, plus the storyline is enchanting. Amy Cecil writes to make you feel and you’ll definitely feel the angst in this one! A definite must read and I will be anxiously awaiting book 2!
Holy Hell!! This book will take you on a journey the likes of which you’ve never read and force you to deal with a plethora of emotions. What I thought I’d figured out, turned out to be wrong. The path Michael and Zaira have had to travel was a hard one and unfortunately, Amy Cecil has graced us with a MAJOR cliffhanger in this one. This is a mafia book with a heart and all the evil that surrounds it. You’ll be sorry if you miss this one.
