Burning Bridges by Stephanie Harte.
Book 2 - An East End Crime Family series.

I read and enjoyed each and every page of this book. What a superb read this was.
Following the story of a family who are taking on a mans world.
Mother and her 3 daughters take on a roll that isn't made for most.
Explosive is the only way to describe this book. It certainly is a gripping and exciting read.
This book has it all and what a superb ending, a conclusion I wasn't expecting.

I have had a great binge catching up with some of Stephanie's books and it's safe to say Stephanie Harte has taken this genre by the horns and certainly deserves to be up there with some of the best of gangland crime books.
I can't wait for more from this author. Absolutely superb read. I can't praise this highly enough.

Burning Bridges was a cracker of a read with family drama aplenty mixed with a whole lot of revenge. This is book two in the East End Crime Family series by Stephanie Harte and if you love books by the likes of Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers you will love this too.

The book focuses on the trials and tribulations of the Saunders girls, their relationships and involvement in the family business. It seems that a rival family has it in for them and has revenge in mind in a big way the main targets being Kelsey and Mia.

I can only hope that there will be another book in this series as I'll be sure to read it as soon as it come out if so.
5 stars from me for Stepanie Harte!!

Loved this book! Each if the sisters has their own identity and personality that simultaneously clash and complement. Brilliant storyline and fast paced throughout. Some quite unexpected turns in the plot as well.

What an explosive book, it kept me reading, reading, reading. I loved every page.
Kidnap, torture, and murder all set in the East end.

The story follows the three Kelsey sisters and their mum ex-model Amanda. Protected by their bodyguards and friends Darius and Rio they continue to run the family business after their dad dies. Although little princesses growing up they are tough and feisty.
This book has so much grit and excitement any body looking for a good old family eastend crime book look no further.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this excellent book. xxx

Burning Bridges by Stephanie Harte was gritty, emotional and completely immersive. I devoured this book in one sitting. I wasn't aware that this is the second book in the series and qualifies as a stand-alone. The author does a brilliant job with her compelling narrations, and the character development is well fleshed out. The twists and turns are well-placed, and I didn't see some coming! The vines of lies, deception and pain run deep, keeping in line with the theme of a relentless and unforgivable gangland thriller. Mia, Kelsey and Scarlette are distinct, and everyone is processing the loss of their father, Davie, in different ways. The girls had me cheering, teary-eyed and riled up in equal measure. The ending was a bang, and I can't wait to see if there's a book three. I highly recommend this book and the author if you're in for an immersive gangland thrilling ride.

Thank you, NetGalley & Aria & Aries, for giving me an ARC. This honest review if left voluntarily.

Burning Bridges by Stephanie Harte was another excellent book with brilliant full of twists and turns throughout and a great page turner, that will just have you wanted more, so it was hard to put it down especially as I started to read this before I was going to bed!!! So glad I had No work the next day.
This book was another excellent read and told by The Saunders women's point of view; Mia, Kelsey, Scarlett and their ex-model mum Amanda. They are not afraid to burn bridges to protect their family. They will do this at any cost!!! No one messes with the Saunders family!

I highly recommend this book

I’d like to thank Head of Zeus, Aries and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘Burning Bridges’ by Stephanie Harte in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Following the death of Davie, his three daughters Scarlett, Kelsey and Mia join their mum Amanda in running the family business, with the help of Rio and his nephew Darius. The Saunders have scores to settle although with rival gang the Coleman family watching their every move it won’t be easy.

‘Burning Bridges’ is the sequel to ‘Playing With Fire’ and is just as gripping as the sisters plan revenge against the men who’ve hurt them. The plot is meticulously written and with suspense, intrigue and double-crosses is a page-turner that’s impossible to put down. The story is full of unexpected twists and turns and a conclusion that’s put a tear in my eye, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone who wants to get involved in an unforgettable gangland thriller.

A fantastic gritty east end read.
Davie Saunders is dead his wife Amanda and daughters Scarlett Mia and Kelsey pledge to keep up the running of the firm and it's more challenging than they expected.
This is book two in this dynamic series that I just could not put down, with mind blowing chapters right up to the gritty end. 5 stars from me.

This is the newest addition to the Saunders family saga. Davie is dead and the three girls, with mum Amanda, are running the family business. The characterisation is good, although Rio is my favourite! The pace is a rollercoaster, with plenty suspense and a great twist at the end. Fans will love it! Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

What a page turner! Thoroughly enjoyed this book by Stephanie Harte and was engrossed to the final pages. This novel features Mia, Kelsey, Scarlett and their mum Amanda and I coudn't put it down.

An amazing follow on about the Saunders family.
Since Davie died, his wife and daughters are keeping the family firm going, but there is someone with an axe to grind who decides to play dirty. The one thing this book taught me is not to trust anyone in life. Read it to find out why.
It's a fantastic read that has you turning page after page

The Saunders girls are back in another enthralling story in Burning bridges.
Scarlett is still trying to get to terms with what CJ did to her in the previous story and hatching a plan to seek revenge. Kelsey is taking life more seriously and wants to be included in the firm but, ends up in a situation that may cost her life. Mia is the sensible sister of the three but still has problems of her own and don’t forget their overbearing mother. All of them are still at war with the Colemans and in this story they do their utmost to see out revenge.
Thank you the publisher for a copy of Burning bridges. This is another excellent read from the author, told in the three girls point of view. Each one of them different from each other and all of them got something to prove to themselves and others that they are no push overs. I virtually read this in one sitting. I really enjoyed this. But I am curious to know as the story ending was a bit final. Is there more coming about the Saunders sisters? 5 stars from me.

A welcome return to the crime-ridden escapades of the Saunders family where we continue to observe sisters Mia, Kelsey and Scarlett, alongside their fiercely protective mother, keep the family business afloat in honour of their late father.

Burning Bridges is a roller-coaster of a tale filled with lies, deception and the utmost of betrayal.. There's a snitch on the loose and somebody is gunning for revenge! If you've read the previous book, Playing With Fire (which I highly recommend before delving into this one!), you're in for a complete and utter shock! Burning Bridges is FILLED with unexpected twists.

A brilliant read and I can only hope there's a third visit to the Saunders just around the corner..

Thank you to NetGalley and Head of Zeus for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review 📖

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for letting me review an arc for this book. The women are back!!!!!
The ladies, scarlet,kelsey,mia and their mom stepped up to the plate to run the family firm after davie was shot dead, at his daughter mias wedding. I like the way its written, individual chapters for each character and what is going on in their lives outside of the firm as well as in. It flows nicely. Lots of lies, deceit, twists, turns. Great read, book 3 please? Highley recommend

Wow !! This book got me hooked from page one , Scarlett , Mia and Kelsey and Amanda are the family at war with rival Coleman’s
But the plots to destroy the 3 girls as acts of revenge to the family will keep you on the edge of your seat
The plot thickens and the reveal of the snitch within the family will open your eyes
Well written , kept me up all night
Definitely worthy of a television series
Can’t wait for the next one Stephanie
