From USA Today bestselling author, Khardine Gray, comes a smoking hot Mafia romance with a drool-worthy, possessive bad boy you’ll wish was yours… a dangerous man and I get what I want.
Women, money, power. It all comes easy to me.
All of it… except her…
20% Angel, 80% devil…
The night Maria stormed back into my life, she reminded me I never had her.
Killing me softly with that body made for sin and her beautiful eyes, everything about her was temptation.
One taste and I wanted more. So much more.
The problem was, she knows I’m bad news and she’s already running from trouble.
Her ex-con ex wants her dead.
I don’t care who he is, he doesn’t know who he’s messing with.
Nothing’s going to stop me from protecting her.
I get what I want. And I want her to be mine.
Maria
I was the girl who had to pick the worst bad guy, and I never learned my lesson.
I witnessed my abusive ex murder a man in cold blood, and he knows I’m the one who told the cops it was him.
When he gets mysteriously cleared of all charges I know I’m as good as dead.
I’m fleeing for life and I have to protect my son.
It’s not a good idea to run from one bad guy to another.
Yet that’s exactly what I’m doing.
Being with Dante is exactly that.
Tall, dark and sinfully gorgeous.
That’s him.
The spark that sizzles between us draws me in.
His touch ignites something deep inside me I should deny.
He’s a mistake, yet everything I need…
The problem was, I know he’s bad news, but I also have a secret.
One that could make him turn from me.
I never meant for any of this to happen.

This is book 2 of the Gangsters and Dolls series by Khardine Gray, but can be read as a standalone. However I think you would want to read Dirty Hearts, book 1, because it just a great read. Stolen Kisses is Dante and Marie story and they well written. compelling characters, desperately searching. He’s looking for his sister’s murderer, she’s looking for freedom and security for herself and her son from her violent and vengeful ex. This story is an intense page turner from beginning to end. It’s a great addition to this series
****I received an ARC of this book through Bad Boy Update and this is my honest review****
ONE SCRUMPTIOUS TREAT!!!
Crap on toast! Khardine rocks this baby from the start. One tumultuous wild ride with a surplus of unexpected misfortune and surprising incidents that blasts all of your emotions bursting into play perfectly. One delectable storyline and compelling plot jolts this baby together uniquely. All the drama, angst, danger and suspense make for one incredible experience. Twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few bumps and bruises bring this baby together smoothly. One non-stop action packed, fast paced, page flipping delight that grabs your attention and holds it until the last page. The characters and scenes are written in true to life form that brings this little guy bursting to life delightfully. Amazing job Khardine, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
I love this series and I love Dante’s story!! Maria was Luc’s girl way back, but she secretly wanted Dante. She fled Chicago after finding her best friend, and Dante’s sister, murdered. Years later she and her son are back and fleeing from her abusive ex. She knows she should stay away from Dante, but her heart tells her something else. Dante has always loved Maria, but never let her know. Now that she is back, there is nothing or no one who will keep her from him. Dante has been looking into his sisters death and that puts everyone in danger. OMG, I love the drama, guilt, regret, longing and love in the story!! So good….and you get a peek into Luc and Claudius and their wives lives!
The drama and suspense of this story reeled me in from the very first words and kept me on the edge of my seat for the duration. I loved Dante’s determination to find his sister’s killer and bring them to justice. This was just one of the examples in this story of how much family meant to him. I also really liked watching the comradery between him and his “brothers in arms” in action. Maria was a very problematic character for me. I admired her fierce mama bear attitude when it came to caring for and protecting her son, but I didn’t like the way she treated Dante. I thought most of the time she behaved selfishly and was woefully naïve. I applaud Dante’s scorched earth solution to expose his sister’s killer, I just wish we could have seen a bit more of the fallout from it. After the little teaser in the ending of this, I’m more excited than ever to read the next book in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Bad Boy Update.
This was such a wonderful read and a great addition to this series. Strap in and hold on tight because this is one intense, action packed and emotional roller coaster ride. Dante and Maria’s story will keep you right on the edge as things get more and more dangerous for both of them. This is a romantic, suspense that is done right.
The action continues in this series that doesn’t disappoint! Danger, suspense and heat is a plenty in Dante’s story of finding love and revenge. I love the comradeship each character has in this series and the woman who makes their heart beat are fierce character that you can’t help but cheer for their HEA. If your a fan of mafia romance than this is a definite must read series.
I could not get enough of this bad boy romance. If you are a mafia romance fan, this is the book for you. Gray knows how to write bad boys you can’t say no to.
