Once upon a time…I held her life in my hands. Felt her heart beat like the wings of a hummingbird; fast and light. I’m not the prince riding on a white horse. I’m the villain wearing black Armani.
Our destiny was always dark even from the very beginning.
Two twisted souls, brought into the world with the stain of sin marking us more than the rest.
We make Romeo and Juliet look like a Disney … Romeo and Juliet look like a Disney Film.
Our dark love skates on the edge of insanity.
How far will she go to avenge her family?
How far will I go to bring my twisted Cinderella to her knees?
I’ve done many things.
Bad things.
Evil things.
Necessary things…but one thing I’ve never done is fall in love. Love makes a man weak. Love is an enemy. When she made my black heart bleed I knew I had no choice but to go to war.
Book one in a three book series. Mini cliffs ahead.

I enjoy every book written by Jax and I eagerly await each new book he writes. That said, this story was by far different from what I anticipated based on how things ended in UNDONE. I didn’t expect to be taken back into Roque’s early years but I do see why that was necessary to lay the foundation behind this character. I enjoyed the tension between the two main characters and look forwarD to the next book in this series.

Holy Guacamole!! Have you read the teaser to this book? If you haven’t, do so now. If you have, then just let me tell you, it only gave a brief glimpse of the intensity Jax Hart has brought to the table with this story. Generations of vengeance, murder, retaliation, hate, love, and loyalty. Such an emotional rollercoaster. The level of chemistry between Roque and Romina is so HOT and so INTENSE it’s all-consuming. So many secrets. So many lies. So much emotion. Even as a reader, I couldn’t help but be touched by all of it. I can’t wait for the next one!
I was intrigued by the blurb, the writing was good, but the book didn’t hold me like the blurb. It might be that this is a multiple book read, and I wasn’t prepared for that. Sometimes when that happens and i’m just not feeling it I won’t move on. I don’t think I was in the headspace for this book. That being said, there’s nothing wrong with it. I loved both the H/h and the storyline was unique. A good book in the Mafia troupe.
Rogue is the first book in The Salvatore Syndicate Series. This book is full of action, twists, turns, and is a one heck of a rollercoaster ride. There is betrayal, family loyalty, sacrifice, danger, drama, and suspense. I found Roque a very intriguing book. Beware, It ends in a cliffhanger. I am looking forward to reading the next installment.
Roque is the first book of the Salvatore Syndicate Series by Jax Hart and is the story of Roque Salvatore, the new .com of his mafia family, and Romina Forelli, who wants revenge against him because of the loss of her family in the past. This well written novel has complex characters and a dark plot with vengeance, unexpected twists, and sizzling chemistry. There is a cliffhanger leading into the next book of this series entitled Requiem.

Is she his enemy or his Queen?
ROQUE is the first book in THE SALVATORE SYNDICATE series and is story of Roque and Romina. They are from warring mafia families and therefore are enemies. When Roque takes of the family and becomes the new Don he has to decide if Romina is really his enemy or as he feels in his soul she is his one, his Queen.
The story is fast-paced and has it all – action, suspense, adventure, drama, danger, intrigue, family, violence, pain, romance, lust, love and so much more. So be ready for a rollercoaster of a ride when you read Roque.
Be warned that this book does end with a cliffhanger so be prepared to read the next in the series, Requiem, to see what happens.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This book is stunning from the first page. Romina is a force not to be reckoned with. Roque has no idea what he is up against when she plants herself in his family. He has dreams of becoming the greatest Don of all the families. Will Romina and her plan stop Roque or will their relationship take both of their plans in a different directions. Cannot wait to read more!

I was so excited when I heard about this series. Another book by Jax that he hit right out the park. It was absolutely amazing and kept me up all night to finish. Mafia books are some of my favorites and Jax has written a great first book to this new series. Cannot wait till the next book.

This book is mostly Roque telling a story. Telling the tale of Romania and how he allowed her to survive when they we children . It gets intense and when she infiltrates his college life the plan doesn’t go as she expected.They are meant to be but their past won’t let them. Loved this book. Excited for the next one !

This was an amazing dark mafia romance. Roque and Romina were well written characters that had sizzling chemistry. The storyline was intriguing and kept me turning the pages. The story had action, adventure, drama, danger, suspense, twist/turns, enemies, secrets, revenge/vengeance, betrayal, emotional turmoil, happiness, romance, passion/lust and love. This story does end on a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next book.

Roque and Romina will have you hookend into their story. This book is dark, gripping, addictive exciting and you will devour every word. This book is full of twist and turns, plenty of suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Romina wants nothing more than to get the revenge on the one man who took everything from her and falling in love isn’t part of Romina’s plan.We won’t get all the answers in this book because it ends on a cliff…..

Roque is THE book to read right now. Jax wrote a book that takes you into Roque and Romina’s life, you live and breath them. Both of them are mafia royalty, and to be honest, are at each other throats. But I love how Jax does this story, it is a story within a story. It was so different that you fall in love with it.
I refuse to give anything away with this review, I had to read Roque and fall in love with the story so I think everyone else should. I will say the cliffy pissed me off, not because I didn’t know about it, but because I was so into this story that I didn’t want it to end. That is how good this book is. The characters are not good or bad, they just are. I didn’t feel for Roque more than Romina. They are both redeemable, both have hate and love in them. I can not wait to see where Jax takes us in the next two books!
Please edit! – I am a fairly new reader to this author. I did enjoy the Creed MC series. I also didn’t realize that Roque’s story is in 3 parts so …. I’m patiently waiting for books 2 and 3. I thought 2 and 3 would be about a new character and when the same characters are staring in more than 1 book I usually wait til I have all the parts but I didn’t realize. So I have read it and now my toe is tappin! I did enjoy the story. There are lots of twists and turns which I found compelling. The story does end in a cliffhanger which is something I usually avoid at all costs but it is what it is. I read an arc, so I am hoping, hoping, hoping, the author does a better edit job in the final. The amount of edits were over the top frustration and took away from the read. Auto correct is far from enough, grammar programs are far from enough. This story had many wrong words, wrong grammar choices and mistakes. Fingers crossed as I thought there were far to many for even an arc. Normally, I allow for mistakes and rate according to story but, in this case, the arc was so sloppy it was hard to read.

This is amazing hot read that draws you in to the story and bring you to the edge of your seat throughout this story as it is a very high intense read and will have you feeling like you are going through all the emotional things that bring the words out and darkness draws you in.
Well worth reading!
