4 Holy Mickey Star’s

I totally read this in the wrong order and that’s ok because stand alones weeee.

So let’s condense my 2 pages of note. Michael’s father worked for Victor and died for him. Victor has 2 daughters Nikki and Adrianna; Anthony works for Victor but has a thang for Adrianna.
Anthony comes after the death of Michael’s mom to bring him into the ‘family’ so to speak, Victor has a legit job for him not related to his business.

When I first meet Nikki, I thought oh god princess but that is soooo not the case. She is a kick ass chick I loved her devotion to her family and her boyfriend even if that was miss placed.
She finds herself in love but sometimes love just isn’t enough.

Michael you know right away has demons he has to overcome, but it’s the loss of his mom that broke my heart.
He’s having a hard time believing he is worthy of someone’s love.

I HEART Anthony not only for the humor he brings with regard to Michael because that’s just great but you can sense his feelings for Nikki’s sister even if they don’t really have a big role in this book.

Even though Nikki has Rico her boyfriend, Mickey as she calls Michael feels like something is off about him and he tries to get others involved but they are not feeling it because they think it’s a ploy because he has a thang for Nikki… She has one for him too so don’t go getting crazy thinking cheating thoughts..

So stuff happens (worst and best 21st birthday ever) I can’t talk about and yeah the story is epic and HOT and awesome and everyone needs to read this series if you like Alpha, Biker male.

It has a HEA you have to know this already… I have some great quotes too as always.

“Victor I’m not my father.” - Michael

More a comment in his head that out loud.

‘The man who was lucky enough to be with her should be the man who wanted to take care of her.’ – Michael

“I’m not going after some fucking gangster with the Golden Girls as my back up.” –Michael

Not a quote but for me this book embodied this: Sacrifice = Love

If you enjoy reading Mob stories this book is for you. You'll learn of the story behind all characters; however, this book focus on Nikki and Michael's story. While it started out slow, you will need not this deter you as you'll miss a great story. In the end this was a great book. Each of these books can be read as a standalone; however, if you read, other pieces of the story that you didn't see in other books are told from a different POV and makes the next book that much better.

Your heart will break at the same time you will laugh and scream at the mob boss. Enjoy the ride and grab book 2 to get the full effect of the story even though book 2 is about the other sister.

Cute read

I’ve been meaning to pick up this series and kept putting it off, now I’m wondering why I did!

Super cute read, loved the “New York” feel of the story.

Can’t wait to read about A and Anthony.
