Book Review: Mafia Boss by Khardine Gray

My Review:

This is my first book by this author and it wont be my last. Its a fast paced read with steamy chemistry and a story with plenty of twists and turns.

What a fantastic book, it hooked me from the first page. Raphael was the big boss of the Mafia that ran most of Chicago. He was unwell and wanted to hand over the reigns to someone else. He had no sons of his own so he chose one of his best friends sons. With this honour came a price, he had to marry Raphael's estranged daughter. 

Amelia had opted out the Mafia life, changed her name and became a cop. She was dedicated to her job and not interested in relationships, having had a couple go very wrong. That was until Luc joined as her new partner.

There is an unknown enemy who is determined to prove Amelia is the mob boss's daughter. 

I can't wait to read the next book in the series 'Mafia Scars'. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out for Amelia and Luc!

I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.

Blog Tour: When You Close Your Eyes by Roxanne D. Howard + Giveaway


When You Close Your Eyes
by Roxanne D. Howard
Genre: Supernatural Romance

Dreams are the perfect shelter for fantasies, safe havens to step inside without changing our daily lives. For Lark Braithwaite, all that is about to change. During the last six months, Lark has dreamt of a mysterious Irish lover who knows what she wants and gives her exactly what she needs. In her waking life in busy London, things aren't as ideal as her long-term relationship with her controlling fiancé Charles has hit a dry spell.



When Lark is called home to Oregon for her father's funeral, she comes face to face with the demons from her past, but she never expects to meet her dream lover in the flesh. Niall O'Hagan steps straight out of her fantasies and into her life, and the powerful connection they share rocks her foundation. Although she's dealing with the bitterness of her fiancé's betrayal and his jealousy, Niall soon stirs Lark's awareness of her superficial existence and reawakens her sexuality....and her soul.







Her fantasy lover is real…
“Why are you wearing a suit and tie this time?” She squinted against the sunlight. Please, God, let this be a dream. He moved his head and put her in shade.
“This time?” He lifted an eyebrow, perplexed. “You’ll have to forgive me, lass, but I’ve no idea what the devil you’re talking about.” He maneuvered himself off her and sat upright at the end of the swing.
She tucked her feet against her, sat up, and blinked at him in utter disbelief.
“I came to knock on the door when I saw you on the swing. You tossed and turned, and with the way you grunted, I assumed you were in the middle of some sort of a seizure.”
He turned his head and licked his lips, full and abused by her kisses. A mushroom cloud of mortification bloomed inside her, steadily bigger by the minute.
“Erm, you…begged me to kiss you, and then you yanked me down. One thing led to another and, well, that was pretty much the way of it. I am only human, though I know it’s no excuse.” He swallowed and stared at her, his Adam’s apple moving in his throat. “I apologize. I shouldn’t have gone down when you pulled me, but it was strange—like you knew me or something.”
Lark leaned forward and rubbed her eyes. This couldn’t be real. He had to be a hallucination. When she opened her eyes, she’d see a man in his fifties with a receding hairline, glasses, and a beer gut. She reopened her eyes, and there he was: The full package.

Roxanne D. Howard is a U.S. Army veteran who has a bachelor's degree in Psychology and English. She loves to read poetry, classical literature, and Stephen King. Also, she is an avid Star Wars fan, musical theater nut, and marine biology geek.

My Review:

Thirst is the first book in the new series Incubus Tamed. I can't wait to read the rest of the series when they are released. It was another awesome read from this author.
