An impressive continuation from book one, Resurrection, Reign has all the elements needed in a mafia romance: a little grit, lots of suspense, shocking turns of events and that sensually tantalizing chemistry. I absolutely loved reading this book.
5hisnis book 2 and you must read book 1 first. Brie and Cal have an amazing connection, as we first saw in Resurrection. Now cal is doing whatever he has to do to protect Brie and the baby. Angelo might be behind bars, but that doesn’t stop him. There are bad guys and betrayals all around. Judging by the ending, there will be more story to come!
Free and living a new life or is she still be pursued
I read Reign right after I read Resurrection, the first book in this series, and the the story picks up nicely and continues with the story-line of Brie, Angelo and Cal. She is the obsession of Angelo and he has proven that he will do anything to have her. But now he is in jail and Brie and Cal are starting their life together, along with a little surprise. But are they really free from Angelo or will he forever be there in their lives. He will never let Brie go but Cal will do everything to keep her safe at all costs, even if it means putting himself in dangerous situations.
The twists and unexpected turns continue win Reign. Some things are answered while new questions arise. The one thing that Brie knows to the bottom of her soul is that Cal is hers and she is his, forever. If only Angelo would accept that but he believes she is his and is determined that he will get her back.
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are all my own but I would recommend this book without reservation.
REIGN
First, let me say, if you haven’t read RESURRECTION, do so now…You really need the background for REIGN…..in fact, I re-read RESURRECTION right before I started REIGN to refresh my memory….And I’m glad I did…
REIGN is dark, intense, a little twisted and A LOT steamy love story set in the world of the mafia…. I liked Cal and Brie in RESURRECTION, but their true connection shines through in REIGN….and they discover a purpose for that connection
REIGN has more twists and turns than a roller coaster, and it all works..Good sequel …I’m thinking there’s probably a book 3 in the works…
Finally, with Angelo in jail, Cal wants to give Brie and their child everything and he promised not to lose himself in the violence, but it’s becoming harder each day.
Brie still has nightmares about Angelo, the Carracci’s family even getting resistance moving to New York, planning with the FBI, Cal has done everything to make her feel safe and the Bianchi family stays to themselves. She can’t help but worry Angelo will find out she’s pregnant, and what he will do, but it’s the new neighbour, something about him has her rattled.
Angelo hates the walls that cage him, but he’s a powerful inside them as he was outside. Once thing he wants is his property back, and he is assured as soon as she has the baby, they will make there move.
Cal does everything he can to keep Brie and his unborn child safe, but things slip through the cracks.
In the end Brie knows that Cal is her future and she will do anything to keep it, but Angelo is determined that he claimed her first and she will be his again.
Although you get some answers your left with just as many questions.
The storyline was well written, the plot flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were written with such great detail and depth that I was totally engaged throughout the entire book!
This is a continuation of Cal and Brie’s story. There are truths that are revealed and boy was I shocked. Brie and Cal are together, Angelo is in jail and they are awaiting the birth of their baby. This was soooo good. Brie and Carl’s connection is as strong as ever and cal will do whatever it takes to keep Brie safe. He will go against anyone and everything. There is more suspense, action, revealed secrets, and twists and turns. I love this story and the characters. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
After reading Resurrection, I couldn’t wait for the next book in this intense, dark, Mafia series, and Reign brings it in spades! The continuing story of Cal, Brie & Angelo will hold you captive from beginning to end. There are so many twists and turns that will blow your mind! Cal and Brie believe they are out of the clutches of Angelo, but are they really? Angelo is like a thorn in their side, always in the background, always watching! He wants Brie back, but she belongs to Cal and will do anything she can to stay with him. Cal won’t hold back on protecting the woman he loves, even if it means putting himself in dangerous situations that will make you sit on the edge of your seat with bated breath waiting to see what happens! Many questions are answered in this story, yet so many more left unanswered, which means I can’t wait until the next book comes out to find out what happens! If you are a lover of all things Mafia, then you will love this series too. My first read by this author was Resurrection and I was instantly hooked and couldn’t wait for Reign to come out. I highly recommend this series, you will be hooked just like me!
Holy cow, I need more please!!
I have been waiting for this story since finishing Resurrection (The Vendetta Series #1) and let me tell ya, it was SO worth the wait. This story has it all, the dark twist and turns, the heart gripping and WTH I was not expecting that at all. Yeah totally worth the wait and now I can’t wait to see what happens next. Questions were answered but new ones came about. I’m looking forward to more from this author.
