Dark and steamy…

This story had all the hallmarks of a read made just for me. A dark, mafia storyline was all it took for me to dive right in. Ex-military, Tripp was a dangerous alpha through and through, no matter what he did and it wasn’t all good… Terra was a part of the same world though as a pampered daughter she was many steps away from the violence. Or she was…

I wanted to connect with the characters, to get engaged in the danger-filled plotline but something didn’t spark for me. I wish it had…

It wasn't the book for me, and while I like that male authors are in the romance world, the authors writing was just too blunt for my taste

I am in love with all works Hildreth and this was no exception. I was worried with it being released by Carina that it would be tempered Scott, but oh no…. It’s still the Scott that we all love.
 
Fast paced, hot as Hell and well worth the wait!  Michael Tripp is as bad ass as a bad ass can be from his suits, to his car, to his dirty mouth. He’s as desirable as a man can be with his take no S@#$ attitude and his sexy ways…
 
Terra is a woman with a secret. One that keeps her from living the life she wants to live. Being the daughter of a Godfather has its privileges but also its downfalls. If he's not Italian or Catholic he's out and Tripp is neither of those things. She has no idea how the two lives that she leads are going to cross paths but I bet when they do it's going to explode like an A-bomb.
 
This is a high intensity story line with a lot of room for expansion because, as always, Hildreth has crazy good supporting characters that just make you want to know more about them as well...Cap is one of a kind that I am sure we will see more of the future. So as this Mafia Made series gets under way, it is but another Hildreth world for me to get sucked into. Can’t wait for the next installment out soon!

My first book by Scott Hildreth and I'm asking myself why didn't I read it sooner? Michael Tripp is basically a good guy retired Marine who saw way to much war. Just trying to make a living so he can retire to Belize, his job just happens to be a gun runner with strong morals.  Terra is a actually Mafia Princess who is just drifting through life looking for a true purpose. A sweet meet-cute, he beats the hell out of her ex-boyfriend in the Starbucks parking lot. Michael and Terra are both keeping secrets from one another, can they work it out is the issues. 

I can't wait to read the next in this series.
