Review by: DONNA 

What I really got a kick out was how the Italian Marino men finished their sentences with "capisce" and in my family every sentence was finished with "you capisce" lol.

I think this book was sexy, fun, and a bit mysterious to read regarding Nikko who is a very important member of the Marino family.  Marino and his luscious, sinfully sexy brothers try their very best to help save Ronnie from the big bad world.  Let's face it. Ronnie needs help. I found this book to diifferent than what what I have been reading lately. Right from the start, I wanted to know how Ronnie was going to get her life back on track and survive all the help everyone is trying to give her.  Then there's the Marino pack who are just "WOW"! I mean really can one person handle one of these gorgeoes, dominant men much less all of them. Read and find out!!!!!!! I gave this book a 5 out of 5 star rating for being captivating from the start. So, again read "you capisce". Lol

Review by: ERIN 

This story was a great start to a new series! I am seriously loving the Marino brothers! Talk about hot, alpha males! They hit every one of my buttons with their bossy attitudes and take charge personalities! They are a very tight knit and protective bunch. They have lived through a terrible tragedy and come out stronger on the other side.
Nikko is the youngest brother. He is the playboy of the group. He loves his job but also likes to have lots of fun. However, when his path crosses with Ronnie again he is determined to not ruin his chances again.
Ronnie has the worst luck. She is a great character. She is not going to go down without a fight. She loves her family and knows that they have her back no matter what.
The story flows effortlessly. The author did an amazing job with the storyline and all the description and detail. The chemistry between Nikko and Ronnie will set your kindle on fire! I swear those two need to be hosed off sometimes! A definite MUST read!

4 Stars 








EXCERPT

If she had to sleep with him one more time, she thought, she would do it. In the intensity of the moment her heart raced. She felt Nikko sink to the bed behind her, and then before her mind could make sense of what was happening, he hauled her to him. She was over his knees and he had panties down, and without warning, he struck. He was spanking her. Hard! He had meant it.
“Ow,” she yelled.
“Don’t scream,” he threatened. “And, that was for drugging me,” he breathed. She began to struggle.
“Oh, no you don’t,” she cried out after the initial shock from the first strike had passed. His arm lay over her back like iron pinning her to him.
Whack, came his hand again. “That was for the barbecue sauce.”
“Ouch, Nikko, please,” she begged as her other ass cheek flamed from the intensity of the slap he gave her. She continued to struggle, but kept her voice down despite the pain and humiliation.
Whack! “That was for stealing my car,” he breathed as she cried out his name softly begging him to stop. The force of the blow took her air for a moment.
Again, his hand descended. “This was for making me worry.” She gasped and cried and took it.
Whack! “This is because I care god dammit,” and he hit her again with all the ferocity he thought she could handle. Her cheeks were on fire. She jumped each time he hit her, and by the sixth and final strike, she was crying and lay in a heap over his legs.
He slowly turned her over, and the tears he saw there were genuine. “Look at me, Ronnie,” he whispered softly, brushing the hair out of her face. She looked at him sadly, the tears streaking down her beautiful face. His eyes lost their anger, she noticed even though she couldn’t meet his gaze for long. His tone softened. “Ronnie. You deserved that.” She sniffled and nodded.

She couldn’t look at him still. She did. She knew it. His hand began to stroke her back, and still she could not meet his eyes. Guilt overwhelmed her. But when his lips brushed her shoulder, she turned and saw something strange and startling there in his eyes. She couldn’t look away if she tried.

“And that was because I fucking love you, Ronnie. God help me, but I do. I came because of that, and I was scared to death you were going to get hurt. Not for my brothers, not for the money. I came because the woman I love was putting herself in danger.” He saw her eyes go from pain to shock to surprise. He had one more thing to say. “Ronnie, baby, please believe me. I never slept with that woman.”

She saw stark, bleak desperation in his eyes. Could it be? Ronnie ran the gamut of emotions. His words. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She saw his eyes, and more than his words, she saw the honesty there. Suddenly, she didn’t feel the pain his hand evoked, and she reached her hand up to touch his face, as a single tear formed in his eye. She swallowed. He watched her.
“I . . . believe you,” she whispered. She did. But she couldn’t find the words to express what she was feeling. Her shock was just that great.
His lips descended and the kiss they shared said it all. Ronnie grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down with her to the bed. This time what they did wasn’t fast, and even though it felt like their time was running out, he wanted to show her with more than words just how much he loved her. And she let him.
