Off the Record by Kristen Proby (With Me in Seattle Mafia #3)

 

💜💜💜💜💜

A genuine second chance romance! Off the Record is a romance once forbidden in the mafia world, but given a chance to rekindle under dire circumstances.

Annika walked away from her first love, only to marry a man who would end up being her worst nightmare, making her believe she's unworthy of love. Disclaimer: If Annika's husband wasn't already dead, I would've gladly killed him myself

When she starts receiving blackmail, and rival clans are being murdered, the families must come together to figure out who's behind the threats.

Rafe has never stopped loving Annika, so when she's in danger and thrust back into his life, he's determined to never let her go.

This book had my heart in my throat, and the audiobook brought it to life perfectly. I've enjoyed this spin-off series so much and I can't wait to binge-read the entire With Me in Seattle series again!

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes the thrilling conclusion to her With Me in Seattle Mafia series...

Rafe "Rocco" Martinelli was never one for the family business. Alas, being born into a crime syndicate means doing the family's bidding and making sure you're connected -- and, yes, breaking a few kneecaps. Rafe would love nothing more than to hang up his enforcer apron and live a quiet life, but as more and more higher-ups in rival clans turn up dead, Rafe realizes he doesn't have a choice. Especially not when the captivating and gorgeous bratva princess needs his help.

Dr. Annika Tarenkov learned early on that her life belongs to her family. She's a pawn in the long game, a bargaining chip for power and prestige. She gave up the only person in her life she thought she could be happy with, all for the greater good of the family. Now, a newly made widow and desperately seeking answers, she's forced to confront her past as it converges with her present. But all it does is make her wonder about her future and how she can make Rafe hers again. While being with him is like wrangling a toddler at times, he still makes her heart race and her breath catch. And she wouldn't feel safer with anyone else.

With the chips seemingly stacked against them, they must work to uncover the perpetrators of the nefarious plot that's been brewing for some time -- before it's too late.

SUMMARY:

As the son of one of the States' most prominent mob bosses, Shane Martinelli's always been immersed in society's shady underbelly. Learning to navigate it and keep to the edges was working just fine until an acquaintance turns up missing, and he fears the worst. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he hasn't stopped thinking about her. Luckily, as an ex-special operative, he's uniquely qualified to track her down and keep her safe. Unfortunately, nobody's making that easy -- not the people who took her nor the woman herself.

Ivie Jordan has led a pretty uneventful life, and that's just how she likes it. Especially since she'll be the first to admit that she doesn't do so well in social situations. She's a proud business owner, and while she doesn't have family, she does have a network of people who look out for her. Little did she know that being accepted into that fold came with a laundry list of issues. When the worst happens, and she's forced to rely on the ruggedly handsome alpha hero who comes to her rescue, she discovers her inner badass -- and the sultry vixen on her other shoulder.

Too bad the two of them are literally running for their lives and trying to ensure the safety of those they love. There is way more at stake than meets the eye.

It's time for the hunted to become the hunters.

Underboss by Kristen Proby (With Me in Seattle Mafia #1)

 

🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

This spin-off series is amazing! Underboss will keep you guessing until the very end, while holding you emotionally hostage and unable to put the book down until you have closure.

When I first started reading, I was nervous about the lies and deceit between the main characters, but it's all worth it in the end, I promise. 

Nadia has endured silently, more than anyone could possible imagine, as she keeps the attacks hidden. Her strength, and often-times stubborn nature, is what drew me in, as I love a strong female lead character.

When someone targets multiple mafia families, Carmine and Nadia are forced to put their differences aside and unite to find who's behind the attacks, before another loved one is killed.

The dual narration in the audiobook takes the story to a whole new level. Bringing the characters to life and making you feel like your part of the mafia right along with them.

This book was everything I could've hoped for and more. I was enamored with the With Me in Seattle series, so I was excited to dive into this new spin-off. It definitely reignited my love for the mafia and I can't wait for more!

SUMMARY:

From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes an all new family in her With Me In Seattle world! Hold on to your seat as we introduce you to Kristen's new MAFIA FAMILY!

As the eldest son of Seattle's current mob boss, Carmine Martinelli's life has never really been his own. But he doesn't mind because his family means more to him than his life. Which is why he's determined to make those responsible for the death of his aunt and uncle pay -- in inventive and gruesome ways. And what better way to do that than to infiltrate the Russian mafia from the inside? It's a good thing the bratva's princess is stunning and seemingly willing to do whatever he asks. This vengeance could be the perfect mix of business and pleaure.

Nadia Tarenkov has several things stacked against her: she's a woman, and she's not the eldest child in her family. But it doesn't matter. She has her sights set on ruling the syndicate, and she always gets what she wants. When the heir to one of the States' most powerful crime families comes knocking, Nadia sees it for the gift it is. He thinks he has her fooled, but she's smarter, more cunning, and always two steps ahead. She'll beat the gorgeous mobster at his own game, and secure her place in the fold.

What neither of them takes into consideration, however, is that they aren't the only ones with deadly plans in motion. To survive, they'll have to come clean and work together -- and acknowledge that the growing love they've been pretending isn't there, is very real.
