This author has shocked me beyond belief, she’s twisted my emotions and my mind in a million different directions throughout this series, and part 3 was no different. What started out as something I liked but wasn’t overly bothered about it all has turned into a plot that has turned that completely upside down. Like I have said in a previous review… When I started this series with part 1, I like it… A LOT, but it didn’t grab at me like these reads normally do… But now looking back, I feel like that the author was just preparing me for what has unfolded in part 2 and 3… And I have to take my hat off to her. She sure as hell knew how to make my mind flip.
Part 3 had me going crazy and it had my heart hurting so much… Ayla’s story has been epic… It held, torture, love, passion, blood, death, betrayal, hatred, violence, forgiveness, and sorrow… It literally had it all, and it was weaved together in a way that had me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath and almost snapping my kindle in half. I threw my kindle a couple of times and screamed more than a couple times. What Ayla went through, it was truly heartbreaking. She didn’t deserve any of it.
we finally got to see the people who hurt her so much pay for what they did, and in the most horrid and surprisingly satisfying way possible. Alessio didn’t hold back, he went in for blood and it’s exactly what he got… And fuck did I love it. I’ll be the first to admit I smiled from ear to ear when this man who loves Alya so dearly and will do anything to protect her finally got his revenge on these fuckers for what they did to her.
I am completely in love with this man and his love for this one girl. When love was finally declared between the two, it made my heart happy. Ohhhh so happy! lol.
This was an epic series, and it has proven that I shouldn’t give up so easily on a series and give it a decent chance, and I am SO SO SO happy I did. This was unforgettable and it’ll be a book I go back to and read in the future.
Be prepared for your emotions to be strung out, and maybe a shot or 10 of whiskey and a box of tissues.. Part 3 is emotional, it will play on your emotions so bad… But in all the best ways possible.
My emotions!!
5 Stars!
So detailed, amazing imagery.
This was an epic final installment of Alessio and Ayla’s story. I had no clue where it would go but it was Mafia pure and simple. There was torture with vivid details so graphic that I was literally cringing while I was reading.
There was also redemption in the form of comic relief. Mafia men can be such wussies when it comes to women and babies. Of course you probably guessed for a HEA, there is also a Mafia wedding for Alessio and Ayla. What is really good though is the sense of family that you get with all the characters like Victor, Nikolai, Maddie, Lena, Lyov, Isaak, Phoenix and the rest.
I have really enjoyed this series so far! Alessio and Ayla’s story was painful to read yet amazing too. With the heartbreak came the healing and in the end it was beautiful. I also enjoyed getting to know all the side characters. I haven’t checked yet but I’m really hoping there are books about them too. This story was written really well but if I had to critique it I’d say there are some words missing. It didn’t bother me to much because it was just little words that you knew were suppose to be there so I just filled in the blanks but I know some readers are anal about that. But other than that everything was perfect. I can’t wait to see what else is next!
Where do I even begin to start? Alessio and Ayla have had one heck of a journey and honestly, I’m really sad that it’s over. Such an emotional and heartbreaking rollercoaster ride of a journey. The last time we saw them in Part 2, a whole lotta stuff happened that just blew my mind and had me screaming in frustration. I might have even cursed Lylah a little bit but what the heck, let bygones be bygones. Plus, things are little bit more prettier in this one.
I don’t even know how to write this review without revealing spoilers because literally everything is a spoiler. BUT I can say that they do get a happy ending. In my personal opinion, I felt like the book started off so hyped but began to transcend down into just the fluffy stuff. I wanted more action, more violence, more drama and a whole lot of angst. And while Lylah did provide, I felt like almost half this book was just the fluffiness we usually don’t expect from Alessio and Ayla. However, beggars can’t be choosers because I loved this book.
Let’s just say that the first half of this book is just pure angst, absolute heartbreak and just about perserverance and faith in love. The strength these two characters have and overcoming all their struggles with love. When one broke, I died right along with them. The recovery from actually going to Hell and back was a difficult one, but such a beautiful thing to see. I probably spent the first half of the book in agony, crying and honestly, drowning in hopelessness. And then the second half really suspicious cos I was just so happy I couldn’t stop smiling. And I guess, that’s what I meant by I expected more of a conflict at the end. But I’m happy so it doesn’t really matter.
We also get to see different sides to all the main characters and see the just how blended this family is. And the pride that courses through me, in almost all the main parts of this book had me crying happy tears. This was the first book/series I’ve ever read by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last. I don’t want to let Alessio and Ayla go. I have watched them grow so much as a couple, as if they were my own babies, and I feel like they don’t need me anymore. But I’ll be damned if I don’t need them.
Absolutely amazing story, one that needs to be read and experienced for oneself to be understood!
I loved the first book and couldn’t wait for the next part the dark nature of the story and characters and the twists kept me up late at night because i couldn’t put the book down can’t wait for the next book to come out
This book got me in a relationship with my tissue papers and chocolates. The “evilauthorwithablacksoul” left us on a cliffhanger but all I can say is that the wait was worth. The third part starts beautifully with lots of “Aww so cute” moments which will melt your heart and make you fall in love with all the characters once again
The way how Aylessio takes care of Ayla makes you fall in love with him all over again and of course all those mature parts *wink wink*
All I can say is that Lylah did a great job with this book
Before you reach for this book, you need to read 1 and 2 part of that Trilogy.
OMG! Why anyone didn’t tell me about this story earlier. Mafia and his Angel trilogy consumed me completely and I was wrecked afterwards. This story took my breath away and I was craving for more. Dark romance with mafia plot is one of my favorite books and with this one I was totally sold.
My heart was riding on the wave of quick action packed plot with twist and turns in the story. It was tragic and beautiful at the same time. I was deeply touched and countless times strayed tears was running down my cheek.
Ayla, my poor Ayla. I’ve never read about so broken heroine so far. My heart was bleeding for her uneasy, unfair and cruel fate. Her whole life she was surrounded by danger, merciless and fear. She was lost and left alone and when she accidentally got to Russian, cold hearted mafia boss house, I was petrified.
Alessio was ruthless and Ayla’s biggest enemy but the most handsome man she has ever seen. He was unpredictable, arrogant and dangerous but his character thrilled me completely because his own story was tragic the same. His heart was ripped from his chest a long time ago and from that moment he became emotionless and full of revenge.
I love how Lylah James author pulled me into the story. Every book in this trilogy brings something new and unexpected. Her style of writing mesmerized me and fell deeper and deeper into this mafia world.
She was excellently playing with my emotions, once my heart was melting over Ayla and Allesio and next was cracked open.
Lylah James author is my new found author of 2019 but quickly became one click author and I will blindly read every book she releases because her stories grab my heart, mind and soul completely.
I love watching wattpad authors grow as writers.
What a great way to end the Mafia and His Angel trilogy. I loved this series so much! It’s not rainbows and butterflies.. there is pain, loss, torture, murder, and redemption.
It was not a pretty sight when Alessia found Ayla at the end of Book two. Some books don’t give you cruelty and ugliness, especially when it comes to the main characters. But this book gave you all of that and more.
Ayla is one of the STRONGEST heroines I’ve ever read. The torture and cruelty she has been put through is unthinkable.. but for her to walk out the other side that much stronger is remarkable. It’s breathtaking.
Alessia.. MY GOD. That man. He will stop at nothing to give his Angel the revenge she deserves. The revenge HE deserves. He is a cruel, Merciless, Mafia boss. He is scary, ferocious, and deadly. But Ayla brings him to.. his.. KNEES.
I really enjoyed this book and the detail that was put into the story. I’m glad Ayla and Alessia finally got their happily ever after. Or did they? He’s THE Pakhan, there is always going to be more evil lurking around every corner. I can’t wait to read what’s next!!
What a finale! this book is amazing, the whole story got me on edge, revenge, forgiveness, love, mystery, all wrapped into one. A must read for mafia fans!
Very dark but sweet. Wonderful characters and very very very lovely.
Reading this book I wanted to find out more but didn’t want it to end as well. It has been a while since I’ve read an amazing mafia romance! Through the book, my heart broke for Ayla too many times. She had her fair share of crap in her life and she really deserves to be happy. I was mesmerized with Alessio’s patience and love for her. If you ever had a doubt that he really loves her, after this part you won’t!! The conclusion was truly amazing and wrapped up the story excellently!!
{I received this as an ARC in Exchange for an Honest Review}
Where do I even begin to explain how amazing this book was! Lylah has written the perfect ending for these characters! Ayla and Alessio are such an amazing couple. Oh my gosh this book was everything I wanted it to be and more. This book was AMAZING!! This Series is Amazing!!
“I am going to wait for you, Angel. Forever. This is my fucking vow to you.”
In this amazing ending we get vengeance and victory, we get LOVE and happiness! We have some heart break. Who am I kidding we get a lot of heart breaking moments at times but for every heart break there is healing and happiness. This was so wonderful. It was captivating and suspenseful and so freaking good. It was Dark at times but also really light and happy. It was so perfect! THE PERFECT ENDING!
“The day our eyes met, our fate had been decided.” “Blue to Green”
The love these characters have for one another is so special. They are so strong and they fight for one another. They are a perfect match. Soft to hard, light to dark, sweet to bitter, Angel to Monster. This book was so perfect! Everything that happens was so amazing! I could read this again and again! I Loved it! A lot happens in this one and I have to admit I was a little nervous because things were happening quickly but I never should have been. Lylah is a brilliant writer and what she wrote was perfect! I can’t get enough of these characters and even though Ayla and Alessio story is over I am so excited for the next installment in this truly amazing series.
A dark read with hope, family, and heart! This book has revenge, murder, torture. Also, throw in sexy and sweet! A must read page turner! This is the final book of Alessio and Ayla’s story. A good conclusion(or not) to their story!
There are moments that were hard to read. The subject matter is clearly stated in the synopsis, so please read that before you read this book.
Ayla held on through the darkness and didn’t let the devil destroy her. I love that she held on and in the end she was reunited with her loved ones. Alessio will do anything for Ayla, and that love for her was flowing off the pages. Although he is a monster, killer, he is the sweetest and passionate when it comes to Ayla.
I do love these characters and how they look out for each other and are a family. All these characters have been through so much, and we definitely see that in the writing. I look forward to reading more by Lylah.
This book oh my god. This one made it hurt in the beginning. Watching Alessio taking care of Ayla and watching him hurt over her being hurt broke my heart, but also made my heart warm to see him love her so much and be there for her, fighting for her, never losing hope that she’d come back to him. It brought tears to my eyes. It hurt my heart but it was so beautiful and sweet. Their love was everything, it overcame every obstacle on their path and it was one of the most amazing love stories I’ve read.
I love Ayla! She is honestly the strongest character I think I have ever encountered. I loved her and felt so much for her. I cried for her and the cruelty she was put through. I also don’t think I have ever despised a character so much as I did Alberto, I wanted to kill him myself. He got everything he deserved.
I also loved the fact that Alessio was such a monster when he was dealing with work but as soon as he got close to Ayla he’d go all soft for her. I loved that so much. I just loved these two period.
The last 20% of the book made me so happy and I swooned so hard. It felt so good to see them happy and get all the things they deserved. Ah it was the best thing ever! I cried happy tears.
Honestly, I was not expecting to love this series and these characters as much as I did but it was such a spectacular surprise. I am so happy I finally read this series and even more happy that I loved it so much. Honestly I am a little sad that I don’t have anymore Aylessio books to read, but I’ll take anything Lylah gives me at this point. All the characters in this book were amazing (aside from the enemies ofc), I felt invested in each and every one of them and I hope they all get their own story told because I need it.
Broken… this book completely B R O K E me till about 45% in.
Oh, my goodness. I have to leave this review extremely vague because anything I say here, will give away to the story.
Just know that my heart was shattered. I thought it was beyond repair. My poor Ayla and Alessio. Those two have endured the absolute worst and I felt it all with them.
That emptiness, that despair, that hopelessness.
Jesus Christ, Lylah James can write. She just plunged into my heart and tore it out.
Apart from that, this book had me laughing in certain moments. I didn’t think I’d ever see 6 rugged, extremely dangerous, alpha mafia men as frazzled, stressed, confused as I did for one scene. I couldn’t stop laughing.
It couldn’t have been written more realistic.
Ugh, Ayla and Alessio’s story was everything I could’ve asked for in a mafia series and more.
That snippet at the end…. WHAT THE EVER LIVING FUCK?!?!?! I need The Mafia and his Obsession RIGHT NOW!
“I had promised to give Ayla back her wings. And I would continue to fight until my Angel could fly again.”
Picking up from Book 2, Ayla and Alessio have a mountain of damage and pain to overcome and it was a heart fluttering journey. It had everything…action, mafia suspense, I eagerly ate up both the light and the darkness of Alessio as if it was my last meal. So much happens in this one to round out the three books featuring this couple!!
“Ayla once said that she was fire. I had to agree she was fire. We were both burning but it was too late. There was no stopping our love–it was indestructible.”
Moments that hit every emotion from sad to happy tears, and everything in between, this book really showcased this couple’s love and devotion as I happily went with them. Their strength, their epic love, and the romance went way off the charts. I love nothing more than a powerful Mafia leader who hits his knees for his woman, and this did not disappoint!! A few times I thought I was reading the ending, only to dive right into another extension of their HEA, but in the end it was all worth the time it took to get through. I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!
