I love this so much, out of all the series, this is my favourite out of all of them. I absolutely love the whole premise and all the characters especially Axel and Ines

I have mixed feelings about this one. It is definitely my least favorite of this series.

Bellandi Crime Syndicate series / Grieved Loss I definitely recommend reading this book/ series. I really thought their was no hope for Ryker because he was stone cold crazy. This was entertaining, well written and a page turner. I love Calla and Ryker characters and this book. I would give this book more then 5 stars.I received an ARC for my honest opinion.

My TBR list is getting way to long...but I have to add any and all books of this author in my inbox.

This month's goal is to read only books with single mothers, fathers or books with kids and this book did not disappoint. It had everything a Mafia reader wants _ spice, suspense, scary overbearing men with big arms and loads of tattoos with secret teddy bear hearts, throw in a pair of kids and it has everything you could want in a Mafia Romance.

"Sunshine and her shadow," he whispered, and it felt like the words reached straight into my chest to wrap around my heart.

Ryker and Calla are my new favorite couple in the Bellandi Crime Syndicate Series! Both of these characters tug at my heart strings while speeding up my pulse with delight. Sexy, sweet and high on the swoon meter, this story brings the perfect blend of darkness and light. Five stars for this extremely enjoyable read!

Stalker romance will always be a conundrum for me, mostly Iโ€™m not into them, and honestly, this one almost went over my threshold of tolerance. The only things that save it is how sweet Ryker is towards the children. Ryker might have been waiting for Calla for years, so his patience is wearing thin by the time he works out his plan to take Calla and her children. Some of his actions are questionable at best, but itโ€™s not worse than what the other Bellandi men did. I just wish he wasnโ€™t so demanding and gave Calla a little bit of time, not a choice per se, as we know these men wonโ€™t give it!

I love the scenes where they all spend time at Matteoโ€™s Estate, the found family they have is so beautiful and fucked up at the same time, and I love it. If Adelaide Forrest isnโ€™t so busy, I might think sheโ€™s planning to do a second generation, what with how she sets up Axel in this book.
