Good Read. BUT-
Ugh! This story started out so good with book one. Book two felt like filler material and this book, although it wrapped things up neatly, just felt like it was about sex with other bits thrown in. Somewhat disappointed that Luc was ‘soft’ and didn’t exhibit what I would consider traits of a mobster. Granted, his wants changed in book two, but his brother Claudius seemed to be the real badass in this story.

What a way to end this series. Holy cow! What a ride these two took us on. I have to say, with this series, Khardine just may be one of my new favorites. I couldn’t get enough of Amelia and Luc. This was fantastic.
I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
Lucian discovering the complete secrets that ties all of Raphael decisions for Amelia’s protection. An amazing story of betrayal,broken friendship, vendetta and new found love. I’m looking forward to reading about Claudius.
5 Cranky Stars
The book literally carried on from the last book. So Luc followed by Amelia going running to the library to see who the intruders are. When they arrived Amelia could not believe her eyes, two of the rats have been caught. A fight broke out and they tried to get Amelia out to a waiting car as two more men stood at the door. 3 shots were fired and all 3 men callapsed, Raphael was not letting them take his daughter. Later Amelia got a message on her phone with a picture of Gigi, her face black and blue with Victor with her, round her neck was a sign saying Player 1. Amelia was so upset by the evenings events she wanted to be alone. Millicent came in with cookies and milk, the milk had been drugged and Amelia saw Tag walk in. Luc and The Four decided to go to other mobster families to try and find out who were working with Victor and Tag. They seemed to always be one step ahead of them all the time. Luc took a phone call from Victor and realised they had Amilia. From now the book becomes the fight to get Amelia back safe and sound. Very thrilling and sometimes making you hold your breath as you the author takes you through an unknown adventure. Will Luc and Amelia ever have their dream of a future in Italy as the gardner and dancer???
The conclusion to Luc and Amelia’s story. Unfortunately for me after starting out strongly in book one the subsequent books didn’t live up to the promise. We get all those loose ends tied and our questions answered. I just didn’t feel the tension and drama as much as I wante. It may have been because I’d guessed the identity of the moles early on I’m not sure. A series that had so much promise but lost its way for me.

MAFIA LOVE is the third and final instalment in Khardine Gray’s contemporary, adult THE ACCODENTAL MAFIA QUEEN mafia, erotic romance trilogy focusing on twenty-eight year old, LAPD Detective Amelia ‘Taylor’ Rossi, and thirty-five year old, Rossi Family mobster Lucian Morientz. MAFIA LOVE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two MAFIA SCARS.
SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately eleven years earlier Amelia Rossi ran from Chicago after discovering the truth about her father Don Raphael Rossi. A dedicated police detective with the LAPD, Amelia will face her future in the guise of Lucian Morientz, the new heir to her father’s crime family, and the man sent to bring the prodigal daughter, back home.
NOTE: MAFIA LOVE contains scenes of graphic and implied violence that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.
Told from three first person points of view (Raphael, Luc, Amelia) MAFIA LOVE follows Luc and Amelia as they find themselves in Chicago in an attempt to take down the people bent on revenge. Years earlier Don Raphael Rossi destroyed the life of a man he once trusted; a friend he once loved, and now his daughter is paying for sins of the past. With both Luc and Amelia targeted by a sick and psychotic mind, one-time co-workers, family and dedicated friends make it their mission to protect the people they love. What ensues is an action-packed, free for all between the baddest of the bad, a free for all where not everyone will survive.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters. Khardine Gray has plans for a new spin-off series GANGSTERS AND DOLLS focusing on Lucian’s brother Claudius, and his men, The Four, as well as a story featuring Brad Sinclaire, Amelia’s former LAPD partner. I am hoping for a more detailed account of Gigi (Amelia’s BFF) and Maurice’s romance.
MAFIA LOVE is a story of family, hatred, vengeance and betrayal. The requisite evil is unhinged and insane; the violence and brutality is psychotic and deranged. Don Raphael Rossi will hand over leadership of the Rossi Crime Syndicate; Lucian’s right hand man will find love; and it becomes difficult to separate the good from the bad. The fast paced premise is intriguing and entertaining; the characters are numerous, aggressive and powerful; the romance is spicy and moving. If you love mafia-style romance then give THE ACCIDENTAL MAFIA QUEEN a try-the building story line become more intriguing and entertaining with each successive instalment.
If you love romantic suspense stories, you need to check out this book.
What an awesome finale to this trilogy. You’ll be kept guessing as to who the rat is in the Raphael household and why. There’s lots of action as the whole situation with Tag and Victor comes to a head. The love between Amelia and Luc is undeniable, even as they work through how they can be together considering she is a cop and he’s a mobster. This is a romance you won’t want to miss.
This is the 3rd book in the series and I do recommend reading them in order. Luc and Amelia are back in Chicago. There the will fight together for their lives and the future they want together. The story is fast-paced with lots of suspense and drama that has you hooked from beginning to end. Luc and Amelia are amazing characters with great chemistry and lots of depth. I loved it!
Wow! What a fabulous way to end Luc and Amelia’s story! It’s everything you want it to be…packed with intrigue, suspense, loyalties tested, secrets coming to life, revenge but also shows the love and passion they have for each other, and The Family…I absolutely loved this!
Edge of your seat nail biter
Mafia Love by Khardine Gray is yet another exceptionally well written book by this author. I can’t really pinpoint just a few things to like about it because I absolutely loved it!
These characters, Luc and Amelia, go through so much strife. I love how they persevered and never lose their loving hold of one another.
As with the previous two books, it’s written with urgency, tons of suspense and a diabolical plot. It seemed like their path should even out, yet this author wasn’t afraid to throw more obstacles and danger their way. An exciting story that I didn’t want to stop reading until it was done!
My absolute favorite part is the wonderful epilogue that details not only Luc and Amelia’s HEA, but other important characters to this book and series. So despite a little sadness that the series for Luc and Amelia has ended, the ending was indeed very happy and satisfying.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.
This is one series that you can’t stop!!! You don’t mind the cliffhangers for book 1 and book 2 and still want more.
Luc and Amelia finally get answers they have been looking for and a lot of surprises too. This last book will make you cry, laugh out loud and so much more. You feel what the characters feel. I loved this series and can’t wait for more with Claudius and The Four… and Sinclaire too!!! Hot damn!!! I received an ARC of this book from the author.
**Read series in order** Its a race against the clock as their enemies close in around them. Will Amelia and Luc make it out okay and get their Happy Ever After?
Have to say that this series had everything that I look for in a Mafia Romance. It included blood, enemies, and love between the characters. I loved how Luc was determined to do whatever it took to protect Amelia. I loved how Amelia was determined to protect those around her and how strong she was when some people would have broken down. Great read and cannot wait for the next series that includes these characters!
AN ENTICING and entertaining Mafia Romance! STEAMY and PHENOMENALLY well-written MUST-BUY!
“MAFIA LOVE” by Khardine Gray is the outstanding second installment of her ACCIDENTAL MAFIA QUEEN Trilogy. A romance that readers SHOULD NOT MISS! The characters readers met in “MAFIA BOSS” and “MAFIA SCARS” continue and are just as incredible, realistic and richly developed. I love it when I hate to leave treasured book-friends at a novel’s end, but I love it when they remain true to memory in the next installment! Even better, this third part to Gray’s ACCIDENTAL MAFIA QUEEN story came quickly enough that I remembered the cast of characters completely. While the blurb does a fabulous job of describing some of the plot, it does not convey the richness of author Gray’s descriptive prose. The story author Gray weaves within the pages of “MAFIA LOVE” not only captivated my imagination but had me feeling even more emotionally bereft as the novel ended. I became so deeply invested in the characters and in the storyline, that when it ended, even with a stellar happy ending, it still meant the loss of some wonderful book friends! As I read, know that I laughed, cried, jumped for joy and deeply felt all of the characters’ emotions as if they were my own. Not as eloquent as this author, I am finding it difficult to find the words that could possibly pay homage to this work of art. So, I will STRONGLY suggest that anyone who likes to read romance and is looking for a great read, “MAFIA LOVE” is the MUST-BUY for you! Doesn’t matter if you like bad boys or the Mafia trope, Khardine Gray’s “MAFIA LOVE” is the novel to buy. I voluntarily read a copy of “MAFIA LOVE” and this is my honest and voluntary 5+STAR review. Get your copy of “MAFIA LOVE” today! Happy pages!
Light of Heaven! Give me a minute. Maybe give me a bunch of them. It’s going to take me a while to recover from the story hangover this book left me with. I loved this! And I’m still recovering from it. If you’ve been following their story in the two previous books, you already know what Amelia and Luc are facing. Well, this book takes the drama and chaos up several more notches. I’m still in shock over everything these two go through in this book. And let me tell you, I was in tears before this story was over. I simply don’t know what else to say that doesn’t give it all away. I am so very grateful to know that there are still more stories coming from this world in the future. I’m not ready to let these characters go just yet.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
Man oh man what a conclusion to Luc and Amelia’s story that had my heart pounding and racing as the two try to stay one step ahead of a psycho. The race is on to see who will come out on top and who will survive the final showdown between all the players. Amelia accepts she is a Rossi and now knows all that happened years ago, all the secrets are out and Luc is standing by Amelia, not letting go with everything they are facing head on.
What an ending that did not disappoint, traitors are revealed, memories from the past come to light, the love that Luc and Amelia never dies or dims between them, nor does the steamy sensual scenes and at times heartbreaking scenes between them, as Luc tries to hold onto his sanity and Amelia shows her strength. There are plenty of twists and turns with an ending I did not see coming, with players that surprised me and loved every page of it.
There’s steam, action, suspense, danger, gore, blood, twists and turns, betrayals, surprises, true friendships, tears, heartbreak, heartache, death, sacrifices, love and family….it’s all there and a finale not to be missed in this amazing series from book 1 to 3. A page turner right from the beginning, with amazing characters, amazing story line that flowed beautifully throughout it all. What I LOVED LOVED LOVED the most was Luc and Amelia, how they stood by each other, not letting anything come between them, fighting for each other and never once wanting to let go of what they have together….a true true true romance in my eyes.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Mafia series…can’t wait for more from this cast of amazing characters. 10 ++++++ stars

Hold tight for the epic, thrill ride conclusion of Luc and Amelia’s story. This mafia romance kept me on edge throughout with its surprising twists, intense emotions, heart seizing drama and sizzling passion. The writing is very good, the storyline gripping and the characters likable. As book three starts danger and the past come calling and there is no avoiding this combustible combination for this couple. A wonderful book in an excellent series.
ONE THRILLING ADVENTURE!!!
Wow! Khardine never ceases to amaze me. This is one exciting, action packed, fast paced, heart pounding, pulse racing, hard hitting, page turning dynamo that captivates from start to finish. Your heart is in deep once you pick up this bad boy. All the ups and downs, ins and outs, a few glitches and grinds make for an unpredictable experience. Talk about some crazy events but this one really got to me. Khardine totally nailed this bad boy with such realism it rocked my world. Her characters and scenes are so realistic and believable. She writes with such passion that’s weaved into every page throughout the entirety. All the drama and suspense keeps you focused on the pages and frozen to your seat waiting for the next shoe to drop. Drop it did. She uses such graphically detailed descriptions it really pulls this little treasure together beautifully. Khardine did a remarkable job bringing this read to life. Fantastic job Khardine, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
