UPDATE: just finished entire series and it did not disappoint. F#%king Amazing!
This review is for Remember Me.
As hard as this is for me to write this, because I absolutely LOVE JL Beck & C Hallman, but I had a hard time reading like the first quarter or so of the book. Graces body and heart may have still wanted Luke but her mind did not. There were a few times were I felt like Luke’s “persistence” was way too aggressive and I didn’t like that.
Other than that, I enjoyed the rest of the book. Luke will do anything and everything to protect Grace. When Grace finally admits to herself she loves Luke, their love is unbreakable.
Overall, this is a 4 star read for me. It would have been a 4.5-5 star read if Luke wasn’t as aggressive as he was but that’s just my PERSONAL opinion. Definitely give it a shot.
This review is for Remember Me: Remember Me is a dark, edgy smoldering love story between Luke and Grace and what transpires once they are reunited.

Tame Me: A Mafia Romance
Wow what a Phenomenal book in The Rossi Crime Family Mafia Romance Series. It has suspense, danger, murder, betrayals, twist and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Yet though all of that it’s the damaged and broken spirit of Sophie that calls to that of the same damaged soul of Roman.
Ivan has taken over ever since Rossi Sr. was taken out by his sons and he was given his business. He doesn’t trust a lot of the men so he ask his brother Roman to be his right hand man .He vowed to shut down the human trafficking side and everything is going well except one girl remains. Unable to take her home he ask Roman to watch after her. Roman is furious at the idea because he is barely able to take care of himself and the way he uses and treats women won’t be what this girl needs. Against his better judgment he agrees to take her to his place.
Sophie battered and beaten is catatonic barely holding on when Ivan and Roman walk into her cell. She would rather die than go back home. Considering they are the ones who sold her. Once Roman sees her he wants save her to protect her from all the bad in the world. She reminds him of a “fallen angel…fallen because someone clipped her wings.”
Their journey isn’t an easy one it’s full of trials and tribulations. They both had a lot of soul searching to realize that they are worth love, to forgive themself and others if needed. It’s about how two wounded broken souls can be mended and made whole. It truly is more than a typical mafia romance suspense it has so much more to offer. It’s about redemption, hope, forgiveness, and yes love. Yes this is a standalone but highly recommended you read the the first four books in this wonderful series since you will get a better picture of all the characters.

First one in this series is Protect Me. Hold on because these two writers take you on quite the ride in this book. Keria loses the only person in her life. She doesn’t know how to deal with that.

Second One in this series is Keep Me. This series keeps getting better and better. This is the second one in this series and oh my god I have to say the best one so far. This one is about Xander and Ella. Ella is a very innocent girl who is searching for her sister Violet. But in the process she is kidnapped. Xander finds her and things escalate from there. That is when this book jumps to intense. I absolutely love what is going on between these two. Ella has no idea what she is dealing with when it comes to Xander. Will he be her savior or the devil? I was holding on to the end of my seat through this whole book. Balancing Xander who is rough controlling but wants to feel with Ella who is sweet innocent and wants to love Xander. I was torn emotional through this book. But I loved every single minute of it. It is a must read. These two did an amazing job writing this one. Love these two together.
Third one in the series is Guard Me. This was an amazing book from beginning to end. I absolutely loved Ivan and Violets story. I have to say this one is probably my favorite from this series. There was just something about it . Innocent pure Violet is picked off the street to be sold in the auction. Ivan is suppose to be preparing her. But something happens between them. Will he risk it all to save her? Amazing hot chemistry between these two that is instant. Enjoyable gripping hot.Loved it. Highly recommend reading it.
Fourth one in this series is Tame Me. I have been patiently waiting for Sophie’s story. It was so worth the wait. I loved it. Beginning to end gripping mind blowing surprises just amazing. I have to say this is my favorite one. I loved Roman. This big tough guy who doesn’t want to be anywhere near this girl. But she slowly works her way under his skin. So many different emotions while reading this book. Going through this story you get a whole new picture of what love is. The love these two have is raw and in its purest form. There is just so many different feelings you go through when reading this one. I am glad they saved this story for last as it was the best way to finish out what has been happening in this series. An amazing series amazing well written book. I love these two writing together and can’t wait for more.
Last but not least Remember Me. This one is about Luke and the girl he cant live without. Luke works for the Rossi crime family as a killer. He goes and finds the girl that he cant live without.

This book had me on the edge of my seat. I wanted to know how Luke was going to keep the girl in the end. Another amazing book from these two.
Altogether this is one amazing series. Each book has a couple that is intense and interesting and keeps you hooked to their story. I enjoyed each and every one of these books and wish we could have more from these characters. These two are amazing writers together and i cant wait to read more books from them
This is a review for Remember Me. This is the story about Luke and Grace and it was really good at times it was intense and emotional and even sad but it ended with a HEA and I loved it!
