Feeling completely sapped of life, Rain and her daughter move to the suburbs of Fairview, where white picket fences, welcoming neighbors, and immaculate green lawns make her forget the pain she’s running from. Settling into her new life, she can’t stop thinking about the guy who wrecked her car. He’s charming, says the right things, and crashed into her life right when she needs it the most. It’s only natural Mr. Handsome presents Rai with a big, shiny rock to make it picture perfect.
Then a new neighbor moves down the street. Menacing sleeves of tattoos, a permanent scowl, single with no kids—he doesn’t belong in this family-friendly community.
People are whispering.
Doors are staying locked.
Secrets are being shared.
Heart pleasing love doesn’t exist here. It digs a grave and lies in it, whispering untold truths. The quaint town of Fairview isn’t so safe anymore—and neither is Rain.

What a great summer vacation read! Maddox and his brothers' stories are a spin off from another series by this author. You will love the whole family. This is the second book and it gets better each page. Loved all the banter with the brothers. Loved the ladies friendship. Loved the small town atmosphere of the whole book.
Add to that time spent in an exotic local and this book is just about perfect. Very little angst once Mad and Ashley agree to the vacation fling. I did appreciate both of them being honest about their feelings for each other from the start.
I can not wait for Banks book! Next up is Jess's book. I would love to see Sara get her HEA as well.

As our empire rises, it’s time to remove all those who don’t belong.
Sienna
Now joined in power with Elio, we hatch a plan to show to the world that the Capri name will rule over Italy.
The decision stirs panic and causes a ripple effect throughout the country. Friendships and loyalties are tested. Truths are revealed as we prepare to fight any who oppose us.
With a careful eye on our enemies, we are circled by others with false intent. Secrets and weaknesses are revealed and lies are taken to the grave.
Elio
With our past behind us and our wounds healed, it’s time to take things to the next level. We tore down one kingdom, and now we’ll build another…together.
I knew that if we followed tradition, we’d look death in the eye every day. But I am a fighter, as is Sienna. We’re determined to have the life we’ve worked so desperately to build.
Meanwhile, a third player is still there on the sidelines trying to make his play, and when he does, it’s the biggest blow of them all.
With an enemy at every corner, we must fight through the chaos and bring an end to the Coppola name. All must submit to the Capri Syndicate.
This final book of the series brings to a stunning conclusion the love story and the rise of Sienna and Elio. As in the first books, there are so many twists to the story. Elio knows some. Sienna knows some. There are so many players in the game. This book brings it all together.
Elio and his Papa have been playing the long game for awhile now. Sienna's connection to the Coppola family puts things in motion sooner than they may have liked. It's a blood bath, honestly. You are either with them or you are dead.
Great finale! I don't want to share too much more other than my heart was happy with everything in the book. A few easter eggs for fans of the author's other series! LOVED the epilogue. So very happy for this couple and the whole Capri family.
Start at the beginning and enjoy the ride.

Sold at sixteen to a man three times her age, Carrie’s life has been a series of betrayals and brutalities. Beaten and starved, she fights to keep any shred of dignity she has left until she can find a way to escape the life she never chose.
Angel appears as her salvation, but her hopes are destroyed as his lies and duplicities are exposed.
What price does she have to pay to finally find her peace?
This gritty romance is aimed at a 17+ audience and contains some themes and scenes some readers may find triggering.
His eyes. God, his eyes. A true gold with dark brown rings. His hair was a dark dirty blonde, the top half pulled back in a ponytail and the scruff on his face was slightly darker. Slouched back as he was in the boxy chair, his stomach didn’t protrude, showing he was fit. He was a big guy anyway, and Carrie estimated he would tower over her five-foot seven-inch height even with the added bonus of the four-inch heels she wore. He had to be a big guy as the huge cock he freed from his jeans indicated.
Those eyes stared into hers for a long moment. Something let go in her middle. He wouldn’t hurt her. She didn’t know why she thought that. There was nothing in his gaze that indicated compassion or pity or any other emotion. Snake eyes, some people might call them, but there was something that called to her.
A full shot glass appeared in her line of vision and she leaned back to take it from Angel’s hand. She looked up into his eyes and tossed back the liquor, taking away his taste. It burned a long path to her stomach. She didn’t like it and avoided drinking as much as she did the drugs, but she thought if she refused, Grizzly would take it as an offense and make her do something or someone else. Angel tucked himself back in his pants. His expression was unreadable. Blank. He came, but he might as well have been a statue for all the emotion he showed. Angel? More like a stone gargoyle.
This is the third book of the series and I would say much darker than the other two. We start off in the MC world in a parallel story to the first book in the series. Then we leave the MC and follow Carrie as she tries to reclaim her life.
I loved Angel from the start. He had a sense of conscience unlike most of the Tiger Clan MC. He continues to be a good guy through and through but doesn't stand for innocents getting hurt. He was so very Patient with Carrie/Jade. He understood her heart even if she did not.
Loved all the secondary characters. Loved the ending message of hope. Great addition to the series!

ML Nystrom had stories in her head since she was a child. All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery, and anything else that captured her interest. A voracious reader, she’s spent many hours devouring books; therefore, she found it only fitting she should write a few herself!
ML has spent most of her life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn’t mean she’s pigeon-holed into one mold. She’s been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else she felt like exploring. As one of her students said to her once, "Life’s too short to ignore the opportunities." She has no intention of ever stopping... so welcome to her story world. She hopes you enjoy it!
