He wasn’t who I thought he was.A man nine years my junior, Mateo had access to secrets he shouldn’t have, and knowledge of things he had no right to know.That didn’t stop me from falling for him the moment we met. Or letting him hold my heart in his hands.I thought the secrets I held would change the way he looked at me. But as the truth came out, my world went to war against our greatest enemy, … enemy, and it was his secrets that put everything that mattered most at risk.The question was, would we both make it through unscathed, or would one of us have to make the ultimate sacrifice?

4 1/2 stars
I loved the characters in this story. They were attractive in their characteristics – strong and compelling. The storyline was incredible in its delivery – drama, suspense, intrigue and mystery. The connection with the previous books in the series provided depth and detail which was something I absolutely adored.

This is the last Medina siblings story in this series before heading onto Ghost’s or G’s story. I suggest to read the others before this since they all flow together to creat a bigger and more sinister story of what they all are facing and if the good will win over the bad and the costs that the guys pay and the women to feel. Attention grabbing from the start and won’t let up even after it’s at the end.. you’ll become addicted to the action and the love in each story and this one is no exception since it’s ends with Tessa kidnapped by their brother, and Yannie getting Queenie to come with them to find Carlos…. so now we must wait for G’s story to find out if they get Tessa to safety…
*Possible spoilers
Mateo was forced to stay out of the ‘family’s’ business when his father was murdered but really at the age of 7 he found his way in the darknet, found a fellow hacker, the rest is history or actually he digs into everyone’s history and has for many years. His family didn’t even know a smidgen of what he knows and has done.
QueenIe is is the illegitimate daughter of Paulo D’Angelo, Paulo’s weakness and well guarded secret, only a few trusted men knew of her identity. She was also trained along side her fathers men. Lia’s mother was at a time Queenie’s babysitter and they became close friends as Queenie grew up, and Queenie was the voice behind Lia’s mother to take Lia and Tessa and to run away from the Silva‘s, but only one survived the wreck, Tessa. Paulo forced Queenie to take Tessa and to his away in a different state for ‘punishment’ and they stayed banished until Meteo shows up with G years later. Queenie is 10 years older then Mateo and she known his father. But when Mateo convinces the girls to go back home will lead into many surprises, betrayals and life or death bullet….
This has to be one of the best series I have read this year. I feel so in love with these characters and their stories! This series is best read in order don’t try and read them as standalone. I loved Mateo I need a Mateo in my life where can I find him at? If you love hitman/mafia books you should so check this series out.
Just wow!!! The Queen had me on edge and freaking the heck out at times! Loyalty , love and family that are united and stronger than ever. The Queen was such a strong and powerful heroine ! I couldn’t of loved her character more. Mateo is the perfect soul mate. Headstrong and just two utterly amazing people. This book was absolutely incredible!! I seriously cannot wait for The Ghost! I want more of the entire family!!
I’m really enjoying this series!
I love how they are running concurrently.
It gives a more intense and feel to everything.
It makes for a more dynamic atmosphere.
This book centers around Mateo.
Wow he turned out to be such a complex intriguing character.
The other main player is Queenie.
I loved her.
She’s strong and so freaking loyal.
She loves with her whole being and gives of her self selflessly.
From the first moment they lay eyes on one another there is an immediate attraction.
It just blooms from there.
Very well written and delivers the maximum effect.
Which is what a mafia story should do.
I’m so excited for the next story!
I am so glad I gave this book a chance! At first, the storyline didn’t flow easily and I found myself lost… I didn’t realize that this story coincided with other books in the series, so I was a little confused about the time frame. I kept putting it down, then BAM. Whoa, the story exploded.. the action, the sexiness, the twists… I was like “What?” “For real?” “Yes!” “Noooo” ” Oh Come on” “Why?” I was so engrossed in the book that when it ended I was sad. I need more, I want more of Mateo and Queenie.. oh and G ! Yes, I need to know about G! Need the next one now, because I love being lost in this Mafia world with some of the most intriguing characters. What a rush! Can’t wait for more!
Moving the Queen into position
Gosh, this story was amazing. A bit more fast paced in some areas which I thoroughly enjoyed but the characters have so much depth, they keep you enthralled and the storyline is complex and continuously unfolding Be aware this story runs concurrently with the first two books in some areas which I loved purely because I got a feel for what the other characters were doing at similar times to events that occurred in the other books
Mateo and G are tasked with finding Lia’s sister and mother and when they find them, Mateo and Queenie discover each other and the world around them disappearsAmazing story and I’m looking forward to Ghost’s story next Thank you to Ellie for my advanced copy which I voluntarily leave my honest review for
The Queen is book three in the Hit Man series and I do suggest you read in order. This one ends in a cliffhanger leading to the next where as the first three kinda run at the same time ( some events overlap and yet are explained you will wonder who some of these key players are ) so it’s best to read them all ( you won’t regret it they’re all good.
I was curious as to who Queen-was since there was a mention of a woman with Mateo in the previous book but not any hints to whom she was. I was pretty much surprised.
This series is well written and very well plotted out. Each scene, book, character, subplot all plays well of each other. The story very well orchestrated and wow what a twist.
If you like older women, younger men, hackers, mobsters, crime families, Hitman ( and women) lots of action and heat. This is for you! Now bring on The Ghost!
This is the 3rd book in this phenomenal series and is Mateo and Queenie’s story. This is a well written flawless and intense story which is filled with family dynamics, loyalty, action, twists, suspense, deception, secrets, and love which all lead to a steamy and all-consuming tale, which had me totally enthralled throughout. I look forward to reading more from this author, and I highly recommend this series for all.
