I share everything with my twin—every man I kill, every woman I fck. But once my sight is set on her… she’s all mine.
AUDREYIf there is one thing I don’t have time for, it’s men. Especially not men six years my junior, with a wicked smile and abs for days. No self-respecting woman with career goals and bills to pay would fall for a guy like Liam Steel—he’s everything I never wanted, with his easy … like Liam Steel—he’s everything I never wanted, with his easy laugh and complete disregard for rules.
He’s not the man for me, I know he isn’t. He’s got secrets, and if I get too close they’ll end up burning me alive.
So why can’t I stay away?
LIAM
It was meant to be a harmless fling—she was supposed to be just another quick fck before I was out the door. But Audrey Waits is so much more than I ever thought she’d be.
She’s the one.
I should be happy I’ve found the woman I want to marry. After all, isn’t that what everyone spends their entire life searching for? Their one true love.
Too bad I’ll never get my Happily Ever After.
How can I, when being with me means she’s marked for death?
LOUIS
It was always Liam and me. Through every hit we’ve done, every woman we’ve f*cked and every loss we’ve suffered, we’ve been left standing because we had each other’s backs.
Then she showed up. The prissy little bird who’s wrapped my twin around her finger, making him careless. Making him vulnerable.
In our business, you have a weakness, you’re dead. And if there’s one thing I won’t survive, it’s losing Liam.
So I’ll protect him—even from himself, if I have to.
I’ll make her think I’m him.
And then I’ll break her.
She’ll regret the day she fell in love with a Steel.

SINFULLY DELICIOUS !!!
Title: Trouble

Designation: Book Three of Series, Full-Length Standalone, NO Cliffhanger
Author: Nora Ash
Reading Platform: Kindle Ebook Edition
My Rating: Five Sinfully Delicious Stars*****
**Although each of the books in the Made and Broken Series can be read as a standalone, there is an underlying interconnected storyline. The author does a fabulous job of giving the reader sufficient backstory, but I do recommend reading them in order. It will greatly enrich your reading experience and I’m sure it’s one decision you’ll never regret.
Wow! I loved, loved, loved Trouble! I’ve been a diehard Nora Ash fan for years and never tire of her raw, gritty, sinfully deliciously dark romance. My tastes in reading are extremely eclectic, but one thing that never changes is my passion for romance, any kind of romance – although I will admit, I do prefer my love stories to be edgy and unordinary. And folks, the writing style of Nora Ash can be described as many things, but ordinary is never one of them. It’s actually quite extraordinary and so is Trouble, the third release of the Made and Broken Series. I truly loved the first two books of the series, Dangerous and Monster, and adored the antiheroes of each, brothers Blaine and Marcus Steel, but oh my lordy – devilishly handsome identical twins Liam and Louis Steel are just the cat’s meow! And they’re GINGERS! *SWOON* I do have a weakness for red-haired hotties! Liam and Louis are just so naughty and totally irresistible! *SWOON – AGAIN* Okay, I think you get the point – I LOVED Liam and Louis! lol… But as usual, I digress so let’s talk about Dangerous.
Trouble is a riveting, deliciously dark, fast-paced, well-crafted, full-length, standalone bad boy mafia romance filled to the brim with danger, drama, deceit, heartbreak, angst, suspense, violence, treachery, betrayal, passion, romance, and sex. Now, folks, let me be perfectly clear. Dangerous is not erotica but it is erotic. In romance novels, there are wild, steamy sex scenes that are just about the sex, and then there are explicit, exquisitely written love scenes that are all about the romance and emotion. In Trouble, you get the best of both worlds, the perfect combination of heated attraction, wild fiery passion, sweet romance, and dreamy sex… and though plentiful and prominent in the story, it’s secondary to the actual plot and only serves to enrich the story. The sex is not ‘the story’. I know that may be a little confusing to some, but I believe most of you know exactly what I’m trying to say. The narrative is beautifully written in the first person with multiple perspectives from lovely, hardworking, 32-year-old business consultant Audrey Waits and handsome, cocky, identical, 25-year-old London crime family twins Liam and Louis Steel. In this book, we also get a point of view from the London crimelord and evil family patriarch, William Steel. The dialogue is smart, snappy, raw, emotional, seductive, well executed and flows effortlessly. But without a doubt, my favorite element of this riveting saga is the magnificent cast of well-developed characters. I found them to be captivating, fascinating, complex, intriguing, engaging and sexy as sin. The men of this series are not your typical book boyfriend heroes. They’re mafia, made men, and bad to the bone but there’s nothing, they won’t do for the people they love, especially the women who capture their hearts. I was completely smitten with the three protagonists and yes, I said three! Beautiful, intelligent, people-pleaser and always good girl Audrey Waits is absolutely fascinating. The metamorphosis of Audrey’s character is truly mesmerizing. Seeing Audrey evolve and grow into a fiercely independent woman brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. And OMG, I think you already know how I feel about handsome, trash-talking, and very cocky but troubled mafia bad boy identical twins Liam and Louis Steel. *Sigh…OMG, I love Liam and Louis* I assume you’ve already guessed this book features three protagonists, but just in case you haven’t, I’ll spell it out – TWO GUYS and one lucky lady! *SWOON – AGAIN* And they’re absolutely perfect separately and together! The banter between all the characters is beyond entertaining and, at times, hilarious. The attraction between Audrey and Liam is immediate and undeniable, but the real kicker and total surprise is Louis’ reaction to Audrey. The sexual chemistry between these characters is electric but it’s so much more! Their passion literally explodes from the pages and blazes out of control! I sniffled, snorted, snickered and raged through the entire book. This is one love story you don’t want to miss. It ripped my heart right out of my chest.
No spoilers but I will say this… Beautiful 32-year-old good girl heroine who has spent her life trying to please everyone except herself-check! Two handsome, mischievous, mafia family twins, always up for a good time with no intention of ever settling down with ‘one bird’ and have been known to pull a naughty switch on the women they meet-check! A chance encounter in the park that will change three lives-check! A love story that will break your heart-check! An evil family patriarch willing to do the unthinkable to retain his power-check! Danger, drama, lies, deceit, murder, suspense, and double trouble-IN SPADES! Heated attraction, fiery passion, heartbreaking angst, steamy sex, dreamy romance, and a heartwarming happy ending-you bet! OMG! That and a whole lot more!
Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! I was riveted to my seat, white knuckling my ereader, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest as the time flew as quickly as the pages! Would I recommend it? YES, yes, yes, but only for adult readers since it does contain graphic violence, delicious dirty talk, and steamy dreamy sex. Also, it’s somewhat of a May-December trope featuring an older heroine(age 32) and two younger men(age 25). Hubba! Hubba! Will I read this author again? Duh…is that a trick question? Of course, just as soon as she releases her next book! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
