This one was good. I really liked them together. I love how it turned real, and the ending made my jaw drop. I can't wait to read the next book just to see what the hell happens.

On the edge of my seat! I can’t decide if I enjoy the overarching storyline of this series more than the love stories that each individual story provides, but I am continuing to guess on what will happen next and if they will actually catch those responsible for terrorizing the family. This installment focuses on Jada, who we met in the previous book, and Creed. Creed is tasked with getting close to Jada, but what he doesn’t know is that Candace got to her before he did and wants her to give her information on the family since she no longer has a way inside the family. Jada is torn, because although she doesn’t like Candace, she has to protect her mother, whom Candace has threatened, but in the end as she grows close with Creed, she makes her decision. Can’t wait for the next installment!

Holy cow, do I ever love this series. Ms. Travers has given us a well written storyline with lots of suspense and romance. If you’ve kept us with the series, you know the Bianchi’s are trying to locate and remove Candace, Leo’s former assistant. She is still out there causing trouble for them at every turn. Trying to get the upper hand, they enlist Jada’s help. Little do they know, Jada has secrets of her own. Creed is sticking close to Jada as Leo requested but what happens as they get closer to one another and secrets come to light?
This is a thrilling addition to the series with lots of action and romance. Not to mention an ending that alluded to what’s to come next; and this reader can’t wait.
I recommend grabbing up all the Bianchi’s books and reading the series in order as the books overlap. You won’t regret a single one.

His Sacrifice by Winter Travers
Lets see if I can give you the pointers without revealing the story.
Devious is an understatement of the year on this evil villain. Not only have they been deceiving Leo & his guys for many years, but they now want to up the ante buy using someone to their advantage & their’s alone.
Leo & his orders seem unreasonable in the beginning but then they work out for Creed & Jada just not anyone else.
Lying & half truths are beneficial only to those who don’t mean to harm those around you.
Do you like no holding back feisty women & the men that love that about them?
So ultimately if you are fond of wild rides, these mafia men & the women that put up with their antics, are just what Happily Ever After bookstore recommends. So you should go out & buy these books by the houseful!!
Thank-You Winter Travers

You must read this series in order even though each book is based on a different couple. The storyline continues in each story and we get more information for the storyline.
What a tangled web... Jada has been placed in a tough spot and Creed has been given the job to get know Jada better. The issue is Jada is doing what she thinks she needs to do to protect someone who means the world to her. I mean what could possibly go wrong right? Lies, half truths, and being in close quarters with a sexy man its like a 2+2 kinda thing. LOL. The plot thickens and the suspense will leave you on the edge of your seat. Definitely a must read!
I really have enjoyed this mafia series and watching each of these hard men falling. You know since they were all never going to fall and play the field forever.

I can't believe that Winter Travis has once again packed so much heat, suspense, and intrigue into a novella. His Sacrifice is the third book in the Banachi Family series, and Creed has truly stolen my heart. Jada, the brilliant and captivating female lead, steals his heart, but she also brings new challenges for the Banachi brothers with dangerous consequences. As the tension ramps up to full speed, the sizzling chemistry between Jada and Creed reaches new heights.
Be prepared—you will need your tissues, as Ms. Travis keeps us on the edge of our seats from start to finish. While this novella delivers a complete standalone HEA for the couple, the growing danger from Candace escalates even further. Winter Travis masterfully intertwines passion and peril, making His Sacrifice a must-read that will leave you breathless and longing for more.

His Sacrifice kept me on edge from beginning to end! I couldn’t get enough of this couple! Creed and Jada were fire. She found her sexy mafia man and he got a gorgeous bookworm. I love that Jada owned a bookstore. I wanted to check out the views from Creed’s penthouse too. Her mom tugged on my heart and made me emotional. Creed had me swooning after his visits with her mom. Winter, you did not have my permission to do what you did to Creed. I know I know, you’re the author - but my heart!!!! I need the next book yesterday. His sacrifice was suspenseful and trouble brewed right over into love. I adore this couple! I want Creed to save a dance for me and then meet me in the historical section! Can’t wait to see what happens next!

This was a quick fast paced read that was packed with more than a few surprises. We loved Jada and Creed's story they made such and cute couple their chemistry was off the charts they sizzled in and out of bed together. We loved them as a couple perfect for one another.

Being back with the Banachi Family is always filled with suspense, drama and banter that will have you laughing out loud. As Creed and Jada start out as fake to lure out the enemy, these two will discover that being thrown together might not have been the sacrifice they first thought it to be. As danger lurks in the shadows, plans will be laid, secrets kept and hearts will be won. The chemistry and passion between Creed and Jada is off the charts and when these mafia men fall, they fall hard. You will be on the edge of your seat and as their story draws to a close you will be left holding your breath and desperate for the next book.

Creed is sticking close to Jada per Leo’s request. Over time they get to know each other and get closer. Lots of action and romance. I loved the chemistry and passion between Jada and Creed. They were made for each other.
Overall I loved this book very much. If you’re a fan of romantic suspense then you’re going to love it.

With each book that is written in this series I find that it just keeps getting better and better. All kinds of stuff unraveling and happening in this one. It's one hell of a ride start to finish. I love the plot / storyline in this one. It continues on from the previous books. The characters are developed well and the writing flows nicely. Aside from all this, this story focuses on Creed. Let me tell you his story is really good and a must read. I mean you just never know what you're going to get in this one. Be prepared for anything. Loved loved the suspense and romance as well. And of course that ending was a total surprise. I can't wait for the next book.

We are soo close!! I do suggest reading this in order as they flow from one to the next. Now we learned that Candace was the mole and now the hunt is on to find her. Creed is given orders to get close to Jada, while Jada was told by Candace to get as much info as she could, meaning get close to Leo or someone close to Leo. But with the sparks flying whenever Creed is around can Jada keep what she knows to herself? Or will she trust Creed to keep her safe. This was a true rollercoaster ride and it was a blast to read. I can't wait to see how this all ends. I give Creed and Jada 5 stars.

Let me first say, I'm not really familiar with all of these characters, or this storyline, but I sure want to be now. Definitely need to get caught up.
I really liked His Sacrifice and the characters I met during the story. Especially Jada and Creed. There were some things about Jada's life that I particularly liked (don't want to give anything away). Hope to see more in future stories. And I'm really glad Cred reacted the way he did.
Looking forward to the next book because that hook was something else. I don't really see something like that as a cliffhanger since it wasn't about the main characters. Every book should end with a good hook.

All Jada wants is to manage her bookstore and protect those she cares about but someone is not about to let her do that. She now finds herself caught in a difficult situation with Creed where she is conflicted between doing what is right and what is expected.
Creed will do anything for the family which has him spending time with Jada. The only problem is that not everything is as it seems, but will he find out the truth before irreparable damage has been done?
Jada and Creed both have their own agendas when it comes to each other but once their hearts become involved it is a gamechanger and that is when the complications really begin.

OMG!
OMG! What a read!! I love this series and I love this author, so here we are with book 3 of the Banachi family. And it seems like it’s Creed’s turn! *gets very excited!!
I love all the Banachis, but to date, this is my favourite. I love the sass and feistiness of Jada but also her vulnerability, which she doesn’t show to many people.
She is stuck between a rock and a hard place until she decides to tell all to Creed. What may of started as fake, soon turns into so much more and I am here for it all!
And that ending?!! Holy shit!! Bring on book four!!

I'm kind of mad at Winter at the moment.
This book is so cute, Creed doesn't want to be up next. Jada just wants to run her book store. Neither want to be involved, they could be friends though. Tell the truth and see what happens to hide it?? Both have decisions to make and to see where things can go.
The Banachi's are still under attack from a ghost, she's there but not there and so hard to find. Trying to set her up doesn't work but some how she knows. KNOWS things!
And that is why I'm made at Winter. so mad! You will be too.

Ohhh this series! I love it so much! Creed and Jada did not let me down, and I enjoyed every moment with them. They have a great chemistry, and a back and forth that kept the pages turning. But Creed... he's a protector and with a sweet, caring heart that will make you swoon. I loved Jada too, she's strong, and I loved everything about her. It's another great read in this series and I'm on the edge of my seat for the next book!
I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This is the third book in this impressive series, and this is Creed and Jada’s journey.
The club are working hard to find Candace, their mole, and Leo give Creed the task of getting close to Jada to secure her help to find her.
This is a well written action packed, emotional roller coaster, with suspense, intrigue, trust, challenges, secrets, lies, romance, deception, undeniable chemistry, twists and turns, and love, which leads to an entertaining, unpredictable, and steamy addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

What a wonderful story!
Creed, I fell for him from the start!
He would never fall in love! Well, he obviously had not met Ms. Travers before!
Though mafia, it has not been dark, at least for me. The characters have been great! Creed was wonderful with Jada's mom Kim! Swoon!
Some hot scenes.
Emotional.
I was rooting that they got their prey!
The Banachi family has been the first series, and third story I've read by this author. I cannot wait for more.

She's done it again! This author has brought us ANOTHER fantastic story in this series that'll keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I absolutely love Creed and Jada! They are on 🔥! Of course there's trouble and chaos around every corner thanks to Candace. These guys definitely have their hands full. His Sacrifice is filled with suspense, heat and all the twists and turns we could possibly need. I can't wait to see what's next!

His Sacrifice (Banachi Family Book 3) by Winter Travers 5/29
Creed & Jada
Continuing the Binanchies saga we're going to see loyalty threatened instead of bribes. When you will put someone you love in jeopardy, how do you choose between them?
This has an evil mafia character going against some of her own. There will be surprises and more. Fans will worry about some of their favorite characters and curse the bad characters.

Creed & Jada
The premise of this story is a little confusing (what was the point of Candace needing Jada?). Maybe that will be revealed in Leo's book. Maybe I'm the only one confused. 😄
Anyway, I still really enjoyed Jada & Creed. They're so sweet together! I love the way they are with each other. And Tatum & Murphy are fun! Happy to spend more time with them.
This story was sweet & steamy 🔥 & as always, the preview of the next story has me excited!

Holy Moly, loved this next one in the Banachi series. I especially liked the inclusion of Creed going to see Jada's mum on his own. I am interested to see what happens in the next one with Leo. I hope that Apollo, Creed, Murphy, Princeton and the Devil Knights will all make an appearance as the DKs were teased in this one. I really enjoy all the books that Winter Travers writes so will continue to buy and read everything as she puts her heart and sole into them.

I'm really disappointed. There's some spots that don't make any sense!! And I still have alot of unanswered questions. it's a little bit 2 short cause the way it left it don't make much since 2 me at all. What's going 2 happen between those 2 who knows. It's like u kinda know but u don't know 4 sure. I feel its a tiny bit unfinished at the end but not by much. I still liked it alot but not as much as the other ones so far.
June 3, 2024
I really enjoy this author and the world's she builds. This is the third story in the Banachi family series and is Creed and Jada's story.
The overarching story of this series is quite intense and it is slowly building to an intense conclusion, all the people in the series are intertwined and Jada and Creed are no exception. The chemistry between the 2 is hot and intense and well worth the read.

His Sacrifice is book three in the Banachi Family and the suspense and saga continues to hold your attention. Leo and his crew are sacrificing so much (putting it mildly). Creed and Jada get closer but the web of lies along with deceit up the ante. Of course you have to follow each book in order as the saga continues and let me tell you we need the next one like now. If you love suspense and the mafia reads this one for you.
May 30, 2024
Wow what a book!!!! Oh so good! Jada is the book store owner and best friend of Tatum. Creed walks in and sparks flew. Jada is smart, independent, sassy, and most of all stubborn. She knows when something is up. Creed has a proposition for her but only if she can trust someone to keep her secret as well. Once it’s all laid out on the line someone is bound to get hurt.
May 31, 2024
Book 3 in the Banachi series and the emotional turmoil, the secrets, and the deceptions are still as strong as ever. Creed and Jada both have their reasons for not trusting in each other, but when it counted, they worked together to meet the challenge. Can't wait to see how the next chapter unfolds.
June 10, 2024
This book centers around Creed and Jada‘s story. Jada is a bookstore, owner and best friends with Tatum. She is sassy and independent and of course, stubborn as heck. When Creed walks in sparks fly. He is supposed to start a fake relationship with Jada to draw out the bad guys, but it is nothing but real. What started out as a fake relationship, can it turn into real?
June 11, 2024
This is the story of Creed and Jada and the third story in the Banachi series. What starts out as a fake relationship turns into something real. Jada is sassy and strong. Creed will do anything to keep her safe. Winter Travers knows how to leave you wanting more.... and barely hanging on by your fingertips. Great read and highly recommended.
