This romance collection contains three books: Scarred Devotion, Undercover Desires, and Tainted Sinners. I loved each of these books. The story telling grabs you from the start and you will not be disappointed. While Undercover Desires was my favorite book, Jack from Tainted Sinners is my favorite MC. Who doesn’t love a bad boy?
Scarred Devotion: Rea and Andy were childhood sweethearts until Andy left. They meet again eight years later, and both of their lives are drastically different. Sparks fly hot in this story, but betrayal may derail their romance. I am not sure if I am a fan of Andy’s, but the overall story is a good read.
Undercover Desires: What happens when you have a female unaliver and a Mafia don get together? Your get plenty of steam with a side of BDSM. Rachel is on the hunt for those who harmed her and meets Alessandro. Their chemistry is off the charts, but she feels he cannot save her from her destructive path. There are lots of twists and turns plus interesting side characters. I loved this story.
Tainted Sinners: What happens when your father owes a debt to the Irish Mob? They come to collect. This story had an extra level of revenge as Jack (MMC) also wants to use Heather (FMC) as bait to trap her estranged brother who killed her sister.
The twist to this standard trope is that Jack threatens Heather with death if she doesn’t come work for him as an assassin. Sparks fly: however, I did want to shake Heather a few times. Now Jack was a character I did like. He is morally gray and does not apologize for it and I loved his sense family. He wanted justice for his sister. Overall, this was a great read.
Scarred Devotion – 5 stars Emotional, steamy and altogether dangerous. Bryce Keene has brought new life into the world of Mafia in this story. With betrayal and secrets so rampant how can love survive? Rea and Andy will test those limits. There were moments in this book that were hot and steamy yet also bring any reader to tears. Be prepared to keep tissues on hand and maybe a stress ball.
Undercover Desires – 5 stars Thrilling and Emotionally Intense
I could not put this story down as it had everything from a thrilling mystery to intense emotional connections. Rachel and Alessandro both have secrets that push the story forward which made for an intriguing and exciting read.
Tainted Sinners – 4 stars Having gone through various types of relationships that were lost of broken has left Heather emotionally scarred. Jack wants revenge and decides he will use Heather to do so. This story is intense, dangerous and suspenseful as well as filled with explosive chemistry. It was enjoyable to read.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily leave this review.
Scarred Devotion I loved reading how Andy and Rea reconnect after years apart. The Mafia part of the book was my favorite. How Andy had to step up as leader and navigate into his new role. This story and had great betrayal and suspense.
Undercover Desires Alessandro and Rachel are both out for vengeance and find each other at the most unexpected time. Rachel is strong and determined to complete her mission and Alessandro is determined to win her over. This book was full of thrilling twists and turns that kept surprising me.
Tainted Sinners is about Heather, who's father died and owed a debt to Jack from the Irish mob. Jack is looking for revenge and ready to collect his unpaid debt and Heather is his target. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what happened next. I loved the dynamic between Jack and Heather. The book was fast paced and kept you interested. I loved this story and can't wait to read more from Bryce Keene!
undercover desire: Good read. Rachael is after all the bosses in the mafia for what happened to her mother. Alessandro is the boss of the Rocci mafia. This two meet but they don't know what the other is doing. This is a great story some light BDSM. The only thing is I feel sorry for his brother. You will have to read to see why. scarred devotion: This is one of my favorite Mafia stories. Bryce out did this one. I couldn't put it down. Rea and Andy have a past, knew each other when younger put he left to get trained for the Mafia and left Rea with a broken heart. She is now a stipper at his club and they meet again and the sparks fly. But both of them have scars that need healing. It is a great read. Tainted Sinner: Good book. These two have alot to go through and I mean alot. She is a hard working teacher that gets under the radar of him the boss of the Irish mafia. Has her doing things that make her think twice. I would recommend
So far I have finished the first book. I hope the other two are as good as the first. Loved the first book Scarred Devotion. I felt like I needed a cold shower after some pages. Really really good book.
