Book Review for Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley

Release Date: January 27


Chicago Mafia boss Marco La Rosa thought the only woman he’d ever loved had died years ago. But when her brother approaches him with an arranged marriage contract, he learns that she is very much alive and in danger. Bringing her back within the fold of the Five Families is a second chance he can’t pass up. The only problem is, he has to get to her before their enemies do.


On-the-run Mafia princess Elena Caruso cut all family ties to survive. She knows that the Bratva is on her tail and that someday they’ll find her. When she receives word that her cover’s blown, she attempts to flee. But it isn’t the Russians who get to her first. It’s the boy she’s been in love with for years, who’s now a dangerous and devastatingly handsome man—and she’s running from him too. 

As threats quickly close in, her only chance for survival is into the arms of the Mafia boss who once held her heart.


We have to say we are loving this series. We loved Elena and Marco's story. The story started off with a bang and remained suspenseful throughout the entire story.

Elena been on the run for many years, she has learned to take care of herself since then. She has learned to be a chameleon and so much more. We loved how brave and strong and resourceful she was as well as being smart and intelligent, and her skills will come in handy for what she is about to do.

Marco, the dark and dangerous mob boss, is very possessive and protective of his new charge. We loved that he and Elena had a semi complicated history and that they had been secretly been in lust/love with one another for a very long time, neither ever acting nor telling one another about their feelings for one another. Their past will work for Elena in the long run because of what is about to go down when she returns home. We enjoyed seeing a different side of Marco when it came to Elena, she is his match and equal in every way. She will be the kind of wife / partner that walks beside the man, not behind him.

The wives of these men show what they really are made of this time around. Strong, brave, beautiful and warriors in their own way.

Loved it non-stop action and suspense, and the story had more than a few surprises we did not see coming. Marco and Elena had awesome chemistry and just perfect for one another. The characters were awesome and we loved them all. A straight-up page turner for us, can't wait to see what happens next when Luc is brought in the fold. We are glad we came across the author and this series as it has become one of our favorites both author and series.

Release Blast for BORN IN DARKNESS by Amy McKinley

Release Date: December 2


Destined to be king, Mafia under boss Stefano Rossi bides his time until the throne is his and he can claim the only woman he wants by his side. To show interest in her will place a deadly target on her back, but he can’t resist the forbidden Mafia Princess. In the shadows, they find each other, if only for a few stolen moments. Their relationship is full of risks and dangers, especially while his ruthless father lives. But he has a plan to change everything, and when they learn there’s a rat in the Chicago outfit, it’s time to act.

Emiliana Vitale fell in love with the one man off-limits to her years ago. Forced to keep their feelings for one another a secret, she craves so much more than their clandestine kisses. After clawing her way through hell and back from a vicious attack initiated by a rat within the Five Families, she has emerged changed, her darkness matching Stefano’s. She’s ready to unmask the traitor and take possession of the life she’s always wanted, one with the dangerously handsome Stefano, and she’s tired of waiting.

Her enemies are his, and when Emiliana’s life is threatened, Stefano takes matters into his own hands to ensure her safety. As they grow closer, so do their enemies. But he’s ready for them. Nothing will keep him from Emiliana, and he’ll slay anyone who threatens what’s his.


Wow! Another great read in this ongoing series. The story enticed you right from the beginning pages and kept you there to the bitter end.

We are loving the cast of characters, especially the women of the five Mafia Families, what a bunch of bada** women in our book. We loved them!

Not only that, but we loved the growth we saw in Emiliana as she came so far from the woman she once was. Emiliana has become a strong and brave and fierce woman now able to face the dangers of their world. We could not be more proud of the woman she has become.

The story had so much going on, along with still trying to find the person or persons responsible and involved with Emiliana's disappearance in the previous tale. We got a glimpse into Stephano's life and past, and we were liking what we were seeing, and although we knew he loved Emiliana for forever his actions and interactions between them now make sense and all those disappointments were about love and protecting what you loved at all cost. We now understood all the heartbreak was not one-sided, the plotting with the other Mafia Families was about making sure the ones they loved were safe from their enemies.

Loved being on this couple's journey after everything they both had been through, they deserve happiness.
The chemistry between this couple was on fire, and they were fated and soulmates.

The dangers intensified and things are heating up, and we can't wait for the next adventure to see how it all plays out.

Release & Review for BLOOD OATH by Amy McKinley

Release Date: October 26


Tragedy brought them together, and tragedy tore them apart. 

Heir to a throne, Chicago Mafia underboss Enzo Vitale will do anything to keep Sofia safe, but his presence in her life puts a target on her back. He must protect the love of his life at all costs, even if it means staying away from her—a goal that runs against every fiber of his being.

Up-and-coming fashion designer Sofia La Rosa fell in love with her best friend years ago. She’ll sacrifice anything for Enzo, even as a wall of secrets steadily builds between them.

But secrets don’t stay hidden forever. When the enemy learns of Sofia’s involvement in a former cover-up, they’re out for blood, driving her to the very man who vowed to be her savior no matter the cost.
This is a brand-new author for us, and we really enjoyed our first read by them. We really enjoyed the characters, especially Enzo, we just loved him, loved how possessive and protective he was with Sofia.

From the moment we started turning the pages, we were already engrossed in the story and stayed clued to the pages to the very end. The story was loaded with suspense and mystery, and we have to say that there still is a mystery that surrounds Elena that still need answers.

Loved Sofia and Enzo as a couple, they were perfect for one another and even on the outs with one another, their love clear as day. Their situation seemed doomed but, from the moment we met Enzo since the minute he claimed his girl, the consequences be damned.

We are looking forward to Stephano's and Ems story, and we have to say all in all we loved Enzo and Sophia's story we fell head over heels in love with both of them, Sophia turned out to be quite the little warrior.
