A bunch of books in this series. The Valerie crime family is my favorite family. Kinda aggravating they don’t let women into the “business” when they all have been touched (and scarred) by it but it’s all good. The characters were well written and even tho they are not 700+ pages it never feels rushed. One of my new favorite authors for sure.

Dirty Dom - Trying to deal with the mess her estranged dead husband left behind, Becca finds herself paying off the bookie that holds the mark her husband could not pay. When Dom decides to impose a late fee that Becca needs to pay for with her body, the two connect in more ways than one. But with this connection Becca gets more than she bargained for when she realizes that Dom is part of the mob. Can a relationship built on physical attraction outlast the baggage that comes with his family? Or will Dom walk away to keep her safe? Not only were the characters well written but the story sucked me in and would not let go. Willow Winters amazes her readers with her taboo storylines and characters they cannot help but fall in love with.
His Hostage - When Elle decides to work on her homework in the little bistro in town she gets more than she bargains for when Vince comes to her table to flirt. What was supposed to just be a romp in the office ends up putting her life in jeopardy when she sees something that she was not supposed to see. Will Vince follow through with the orders to kill her so she will not talk? Or will the connection they shared put him in the position to save her and keep her as his? Once again Willow Winters creates characters that have more strength than they realize. The story flowed so well that when the reader gets to the end they will only want more. Cannot wait to read more in this series.
Rough Touch - Left as the only survivor of his family, Kane needs to regain some leverage in the mob and the only way he can do that is being the bridge between the Russian mob and the Valetti family. What he does not count on it that the Russian's want to mix things up and add human trafficking into the mix. One look at the slave he is given for compensation sends Kane down a path that puts in a position he never saw coming....he actually falls for Ava. But will the Russians allow him to keep her? Or will the Valetti family end things with both the Russians and leave Kane hanging out to dry? With a fast paced storyline and a roller coaster of emotions this was a fantastic read. I cannot wait for more in this series.
Cuffed Kiss - Being on the wrong side of the law has never posed a problem for Tommy. He has always had his familia to take care of him and make sure no charges ever stick. But when things go sideways and Tommy may have bitten off more than he can chew, it makes matters worse when he feels a spark with the female cop who is questioning him. When Tommy and Tonya find themselves connected not just in the bedroom things go from bad to worse for Tommy. Will he walk away from the Valetti family in order to stay with Tonya? Or wil the Valetti Family stick by him when the Tonya's safety is in jeopardy? With great characters and enough passion to make the pages smoke this was a great read. The interwoven back and forth between duty and true love is a very fine line and Willow Winters has mastered it!!
Bad Boy – Anthony has always been the quiet in the background type throughout the Valetti Saga and when it is his turn the readers are left breathless. When a mark comes up to be killed, Anthony decides instead of killing Catherine, he is going to keep her as his pet. But in order to keep her in his BDSM style, Anthony needs to break her. But what he never thought would happen is that he would fall in love with her. With beautifully written characters and a plot that kept me wanting more this was the best story out of the series. Stand up and take a bow Willow Winters – job well done!!
