Kidnapped and claimed as the spoils of war. My captor is dark, demented, and dangerous — everything I was warned to stay away from. Yet, I’m drawn to him like a moth to a flame, and the lust that fans the fire is evolving into something else… something that could wreck me if I let it take hold. His name strikes fear into anyone who crosses him, but despite the warnings of even those close to … to him, I’ve allowed myself to fall for the prodigal prince of New Orleans’ underground criminal empire. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, but Luca never had any use for the law, anyway. The crime lord owns me. No longer pretending, the passion between us burns white-hot, but Luca has enemies everywhere. As the heat rises, so does the threat from an unseen enemy with a very clear message — they’re coming for Luca and will destroy everything and everyone that stands in their way. When the enemy storms the gates, will we rise together from the ashes of war? Or will we go down in flames when they raze his empire to the ground?

This being the second part of the series it has ALOT HAPPEN AMD I DO MEAN ALOT, it really helps build the story amd give you more of a look at the Mc’s and thier struggles. Im 100% invested in this series… And the cliff hanger leaves you wanting the next book ASAP!
Omg this book was so freaking good even better than the first. I love lucas and their relationship the fire and the chemistry is was so good. The action, suspence and that cliffhanger is making me want to skip sleep and get started on the third book already. Definitely five stars from me!!
Lux Miller has an edge that makes her characters show a soft side which can switch in a nano second, you can feel the love and destruction as it happens. Luca and Emily need to find what’s real or is this as people are saying a flavour of the month. Omg what a cliffhanger, I don’t know if I’m coming or going, the anticipation is slowly dragging me down the rabbit hole of can’t breathe scared to breathe incase I miss something, am really loving this. I voluntarily reviewed this book.
I love this series !! Fabulous writing with amazing strong characters and not just Lucas and Emily. The life of the mafia as it unfolds and not just the action but the actual living. Oh and the huge twist this one has might just have you baffled. Can’t wait for more !!
I received this as an ARC and this is my honest and voluntary review.
This is the 2nd book in the Barressi series but its the first book ive read. I hadnt read the first one. Following Crime Bosses son Luca and his relationship with Emily. Luca has two different faces, the hardened, dangerous man and the tender, caring one towards Emily. Two sides of the same coin. Dante (Luca’s brother) has to kill when hes given an order but its a twisted choice and one with repercussions. I liked both Luca and Dante even with all the had to do for their family but i also loved how Emily was completely unafraid to speak her mind. Even when confronted by Luca’s father & Crime Boss. She didnt back down. Loved Luca and Emily’s book and now ive read book 2 i might have to get book 1 as well. This was such a great read though
Great sequal for this series , with well developed characters and story lines…perfectly done!
Lots of action in this one and I love the development of relationships between the characters and not just between the lovers. Dante is a big part of this book and it gives another layer of depth to the story. Lots of hot action and plots galore. Looking forward to the finale.
She had been kidnapped and he had used her until she become totally his. He is strong, dark and powerful. They have fallen in love but will that be enough when danger comes for him? See if it is

Each book had brought me more in top the story and held me. I can’t wait to see how the author will end the story all excited for the next book.

Lucas has found his one and only in Emily. Willing to face condemnation from his mafia family for her and hesitant to reveal his criminal activities in fear of losing her, he made for a great dark alpha male hero.
I loved the way he tried to be as upfront with Emily as he could, always worrying about her safety.
After being rescued and saved by Lucas and removing Andre from her life, Emily willingly walked into the relationship with her eyes wide open.
Lots of intrigue and romance whenever these two got together as Emily tried to assimilate into Lucas’s life.
There was a nice HFN, but still many questions left without answers.

Emily and Lucas have been happily living their life together. When some of his enemies decide to mess with Emily he’s going to show them they messed with the wrong man! Great continuation from the first book!

This is book 2 in the Barresi Series and as in the first book, this author reels you in from the first page through and past the final cliffhanger scene. The story is interesting and definitely holds your attention throughout the action and twists. The characters are vivid, vibrant, and absolutely memorable. Although Luca forced Emily to come with him, the are now an inseparable loving couple. Fantastic read!
