"My world had become more solid. More real. I'd found a purpose in keeping her safe, and then she'd filled the hollow parts inside me with her perfect existence."

I loved the first book in this series and was so excited to get Costello's story. The brooding, dangerous, oldest Badd brother was a mystery I wanted to uncover, and I completely fell in love with him in this book. He was a pillar of strength; protective and lethal. Scotch was his equal in every way, a fierce and kind-hearted warrior who was loyal and full of spunk. Their interactions from the very beginning were so engaging, and I enjoyed the way their relationship progressed. The author did such a great job with the build up between them, and when they came together physically, it was like an inferno of epic proportions.

"Costello was the black cloud, the lightening bolt. In the darkness he was a thousand mouths and a million hands and I wanted to feel every finger. Every kiss. I wanted all of him".

Flite has such a great talent for blending together different elements seamlessly, creating a great experience for the reader. There were moments in the story that had me laughing out loud, and moments where I was on the edge of my seat. Costello and Scotch's story was as emotional as it was hot, as family secrets came to light and relationships took a turning point. My heart broke for Costello and the burdens he carried, and I wanted so badly for him to find peace with Scotch. I was so happy to see Kain and Sammy again, along with the rest of the Badd bunch. The author wove an exciting storyline that I am sure will bring even more intrigue in the next book. I am looking forward to reading more from this fantastic series!

An intriguing suspenseful read full of humour, angst and action. Such a hot sexy read, guaranteed to hook you right from the start!

Costello and Scotch are an explosive match up, the chemistry off the charts.

Overall a great read, definitely recommend reading Royally Bad first! Looking forward to reading more of this series!

I have been on a kick lately for modern romance novels (historical romance between s what I usually stick to) and I'm so glad I tried this read out! I loved the character of Costello. Alpha males who are protective appeal to me, which is why I liked his character.. I also liked the character of Scotch/Heather and how loyal and caring she was to those she loved. The romance itself was steamy and full of excitement, which had me up all night because I wanted to read what happened next. This is a read if definitely recommend!

Wow what an amazing book. Costello a mafia prince has a run in with Scotch. He saves her and her friend from being killed. The roller coaster adventure begins. A must read..

Loved the mythology and the heat level between Costello and Scotch. A believable relationship. What I struggled with, however, was her giving up her dream to be a cop to work as a waitress in a strip club for 8 years. I understand wanting to watch over her friend but it felt like too much of a stretch for me. Thank you for the opportunity to read this title.

LOVED this book!!!! Scotch has been a cocktail waitress at the strip club owned by Costello's family for eight years. She followed her best friend there - Gina, who is a dancer. While Scotch knows of the Badd family and who they are, she doesn't really know them. Then she is thrown into a horrible situation while trying to save Gina's life.

Costello doesn't think, he just acts to protects Scotch and helps her escape. Before long, she's pretending to be his girlfriend. Soon the lines become very blurred between pretend and reality, but with Costello thinking he's not worthy and Scotch thinking she's a dead woman walking, neither can see a future for themselves.

Costello isn't the typical hero - he's brooding, bad, and not even his family likes him. Scotch is more like the damsel in distress, except this damsel packs some serious skills of her own. Combined this makes a wonderful story that had me turning pages just as quickly as possible.

Fans of the genre will love this book. While it is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, although they're so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.
