Maddie
Work, sleep, and sometimes eat.
Rinse and repeat.
That’s been my life for the past two years. One struggle after another.
Fighting to keep my sister alive.
Fighting to maintain the strength to not give up.
I had everything under control. I had a routine. Order.
Until a certain Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome turned my world on its axis.
He’s relentless. No matter how much I shut him down, he keeps showing up.

Theo
I make it a habit to always get what I want.
Either through brute force or by outsmarting my opponent.
I never lose.
I never hear the words no.
Until the day I walked into a coffee shop and saw her.
Maddie doesn’t know who she’s dealing with.
She doesn’t know just how relentless I am when I want something.
And right now, that something is the mousy brunette glaring at me from behind the counter.

Merciless Devil: Sons of Valentino Book 2 by Kylie Kent

Merciless Devil is the next book in the Sons of Valentino series featuring the Valentino brothers contains the story of Savannah and Matteo Valentino.

Savannah
Have you ever loved someone so much it physically hurts?
That’s how much I love my best friend, Matteo Valentino.
It’s also the reason I’ve done everything I can to make sure he’s firmly rooted in the friend zone.
I’d rather keep him at a distance than ruin what we have by giving into the attraction constantly sparking between us.
That is until I wake up next to him with no recollection of how I ended up in his bed.

Matteo
When you’re the prince of one of the five families of the New York mafia, nothing is off-limits.
That is until the one thing you want is your best friend.
Savannah St. James is everything light in my dark world.
She’s strong, fierce, and more loyal than any made man I know.
She’s also my best friend, and that makes her untouchable.
However, when I wake up next to her in Vegas after a night out together, I’m not about to let her go as easily as she may think.
She’ll find out just how merciless I am when it comes to keeping what I want.
And what I want, what I’ve always wanted, is her.

Totally Booked UK Review: Interior designer Savannah met her soulmate when she was six years old. Over the years, Matteo has always been there for her, and other than a pact to lose their virginity together at fifteen, they have been best friends—only friends. Finding him passed out in the guest room, she wondered why he didn’t head home after he’d been wherever before himself during the night. Not that she really minds, especially as she has broken up with her recent boyfriend.

Matteo Valentino can’t imagine his life without Savvy in it; she is as much a part of his life as his brothers and parents. For years, he has watched her date men who are not good enough for her whilst he has been living a dual life as an attorney and enforcer for his family. Reminded by Savvy of a wedding they are due to attend in Las Vegas, he jokes about them finally getting married and confesses about the marriage licence he has ready for them. Plans go awry when the hotel booking is messed up, and they end up sharing a room, getting drunk, and Savvy suggesting that they should just get married.

The morning after the night before, Savannah wakes to realise what they have done. Terrified of losing him and his friendship, she makes a dash back to New York to evade him when everything goes wrong. Matteo, on the other hand, is in no rush to forget or move on from Vegas. He is very happy to be married to her and won’t be giving her up so easily. As they attempt to navigate their newly found marriage, they certainly enjoy the perks of married life. But when she is pulled into his world, is she ready to give up being an independent woman or fight to get what she wants?

Soulless Devil: Sons of Valentino Book 3 by Kylie Kent

Soulless Devil is the third book in the Sons of Valentino series of four standalone mafia romances featuring Livvy and Romeo Valentino.

Romeo
Romeo: fictional, someone who can fall in love with his whole heart, without a shred of doubt.
The thing about fictional characters is just that; they’re not real.
That kind of love doesn’t exist outside of the pages of books.
At least, that’s what I thought…
Until I saw her.
And it was like getting shot, like taking a led bullet straight to the heart.
It hurt, burned deep in my soul.
She isn’t the Juliet to my Romeo. Because she doesn’t simply come from an opposing house.
She comes from a completely different world.
Hers is all sunshine and rainbows, where mine’s darkness, violence, and crime.

Livvy
One thing I’ve always been sure of is the difference between right and wrong.
It’s how I’ve lived my life. The perfect member of society, following all the social norms.
So how can the events of one night shift my whole outlook on the world? Have me teetering on that ledge of villain versus hero?
I knew tutoring the infamous mob boss’s son was only going to lead me to trouble. What I didn’t know was what Romeo Valentino would teach me instead.
He’d show me that life isn’t meant to be a set of black and white rules. That, sometimes, good people do bad things for the right reasons.

Totally Booked UK Review: Growing up in a small town in Georgia, Olivia opted to relocate to New York City for college. She leaves behind her retired cop father, teacher mom, younger sister, and high school boyfriend, Kirk. Applying herself to her studies, she hopes to become a prosecuting lawyer, taking on students to tutor to earn extra money. For the past week or so, she has felt as though she is being watched, especially when she leaves the library late at night, but puts this down to her father, making her paranoid about the big city.

Romeo Valentino has a 4.0 GPA and is on track to help out with her family business after he leaves college. Living with his twin brother Luca, they may look identical. However, they have different personalities, with Romeo studying hard whilst Luca parties. In many ways, their names should have been the other way around, although he soon lives up to his name as he spots a beauty in the library tutoring for English Lit – despite not taking the course.

After only one study session together, Romeo ends up stepping up to save her from a date-rape spiking incident whilst she is out with her roommate. Despite coming from two very different worlds, they each feel as though they have known each other for longer. Caught up with family business, Romeo cancels plans with Livvy, and she is attacked on the way home from the library. Full of guilt for not being there, Romeo does all he can to make amends for her, even though she doesn’t blame him. But as she struggles with everything, will she push Romeo away?

Reckless Devil: Sons of Valentino Book 4 by Kylie Kent

Reckless Devil is the fourth book in the Sons of Valentino series of standalone mafia romances by Kylie Kent featuring Katarina Star and Luca Valentino.

Luca
Would you risk it all—your career, your dream, your life—to save a stranger?
I would. I did.
Except, in saving her, I destroyed any chance at living out the future I was destined for.
They say what I did was reckless. What they don’t know is that I’d do it all again if it meant meeting her. My bellezza.

Katarina
Death threats are supposed to stay threats. It comes with being in the public eye.
I never expected anyone to actually follow through on their plan to kill me.
A plan they would have succeeded in completing… if it weren’t for him.
Luca Valentino.
I owe him my life. But it’s my heart he’s taking.

She is preparing for a huge opportunity to sing the National Anthem at the opening New York Giants game when one of the footballers suddenly lands on her and takes a bullet for her.

Years of preparation, dedication and hard work have led Luca to his first NFL pro game. Signing on for the Giants after college, he stood on the field feeling like something was wrong. His fears are founded when he spots a red dot on the popstar Kat Star and takes off running to save her before he has even had time for his brain to catch up to what has happened. Taking a bullet for her, he looks over to see the woman he has just saved, and that one glance into her eyes has him realising how the other Valentino brothers felt when they found the one.

Now that he has found the matching part of his soul, Luca is reluctant to let her go and sets about inserting himself into her life. His family stepped up to help discover the threats that she had been receiving and attempted to protect her from them. Recovering from his bullet wound, Luca is having to attend training, albeit from the bench, hoping that he won’t be out for too long. Whilst Katarina learns what it is like to be part of a family as the Valentino’s claim her for their own – but who is behind the threats?

We’re born to fight. We thrive on it. Some of us even thirst for it. The fight we’re about to embark on now is different. Because we’re not fighting a grenade this time. No, we have the whole f***ing rocket headed our way.

Can our family come together and beat the odds stacked against us? Or will this be the very thing that is crumbling our empire?
