Warning: This sexy page-turner from #1 Amazon bestselling author Scott Hildreth may cause hot flashes and a serious addiction to alpha heroes! Tripp Once, I took down terrorists on the front lines as a marine. Now I’m in the business of bad. I’ve sold guns to people others might not approve of. I’ve eliminated the criminals, the lowlifes and the thugs who’ve tread on my turf. And I looked the … thugs who’ve tread on my turf.
And I looked the Sicilian Mafia boss in the eye and told him to f*** off.
No one tells me no, unless it’s their last word.
I didn’t just act the part of bad—I lived it. Then she stumbled into my life.
I tried to stay away from her. Tried focusing on moving my merchandise. But one smile from Terra was like a shot to the heart.
She’s mine now. And no one threatens what’s mine.
Terra
I’ve seen a lot of terrible things in my life.
I grew up around lies and deception, and I ran away from all of them.
Until I met him.
I knew he was corrupt. I knew he was dangerous.
I should have stayed away, but my attraction to him, my need for him, overrode my logic.
Now I love him.
If he finds out who I am, we’re done and I’ll be nothing.
I never wanted to be the Mafia princess they tried to make me, but mia familia had other plans. And what mia familia wants…it gets.
Only Michael Tripp can save me.

Scott Hildreth dove head first into the Mafia world and nailed it! Michael Tripp is a trip I’d love to take over and over again. I mean he’s as Alpha as they come…ex-marine, arms dealer, dirty talker and sexy AF. He’s a man that lives by his code of ethics and makes his decisions on whether or not he feels it’s right. So helping the woman being drug out of a coffee shop was a no brainer. He just didn’t expect to be caught up in her. Terra is a mafia princess, but meeting a new guy and telling him that tends to have them running for the hills. Deciding not to tell the sexy stranger that saves her from her abusive ex, she falls head over heels for him.
The vulnerability in Michael is enough to make anyone swoon over this man, not to mention that when he loves, he loves fiercely and will do anything to protect what he loves. If you love Hildreth’s books, this one will not disappoint at all. I’m patiently waiting book two, because even though this one didn’t really end in a cliffy, there is an unresolved secret that will definitely do some a$$ biting when it finally comes out.

If you follow my reviews you know that I am what I like to call a Hildreth whore. Meaning if he writes it I will buy it.
From Christy Cross screwing her way hilariously through the alphabet to Alec Jacob’s emotional roller coaster , every word of every book I’ve read has been addictive.
The Gun Runner is the authors first run at a mafia story and he nailed it.
Michael Tripp is just the kind of alpha hero I’ve come to expect. He’s strong, loyal, in control, protective and stands up for those who are weaker.
He’s making a new life outside the military and that life has him crossing paths with the mafia.
Terra-I really want to love her, and in the beginning I did. She’s not the strong, independent woman I prefer to read about. She’s a victim and a Mafia princess, she lives off daddys money and though at times she’s strong she needs to man up a bit more!
Now to the part that drives me bat shit crazy about the first installment in this series, the lying.
Michael doesn’t tell Terra the complete truth about what he does and she snaps an ditches him, when all along little miss Terra has her own secret. Her own HUGE effing secret, one that quite honestly in the mafia world could get him killed. She has the balls to ditch him over a lie but continues to keep hers? No, just no. THAT is what makes me want to curb stomp her.
And the end of the book, the last thing that happens between them, she should never have let it go that far without telling him the truth. Terra’s got some serious work to do to get me to love her again, I understand her reasoning in the beginning but damnit she let it go way to far. For that and the fact that it could hurt Tripp I kinda hate her right now.
And that is why I’m dying to get book two. I have to know what’s next for these two, I need to see the truth come out and how it’s handled. Honestly, I just need more Tripp.
