5/5⭐️
3/5🌶

Volatile Vice is Book 5 in the Bellamy Brothers Series and it's got me in a complete obsessed state of mind.

Vinnie Gallo knows he needs to take down him Grandfather and his "Family Business". To take down his criminal Grandfather and get his Family out of the deviants "rule" Vinnie will stop at nothing. However the vile man he call Grandfather knows his weakness, the people Vinnie loves. So in order to take down the man he despises, Vinnie has to play his game, pretend he's wanting to take his rightful place in the family.
Danger threatens the one he loves, theres more to keep an eye out for and even more dark secrets he has yet to discover.
Raven is at the forefront of his mind and his number one priority. He'll do anything to keep her safe. The woman he's fallen Madly in love with is the one person who matters most. He'll stop at nothing to keep her safe.

Helen Hardt grabs our attention and doesn't let go. This installment of the Bellamy Brothers Series is addictive and pure romantic suspense gold. I am so marking my calendar for the next book already.

This is the second part of Vinnie and Raven’s story.

Vinnie and Raven’s story continues from Vengeful Vice with Vinnie proving himself to his grandfather (head of the mafia family) that leads to his revenge on him. He leaves Raven to follow up on what he put into motion. In the meantime, Raven’s parents call her with very bad news. Vinnie left her in the middle of the night and she can’t reach him. Vinnie doesn’t want her involved with his dangerous family although they do love each other. Then Vinnie’s life becomes volatile, so volatile. He must keep Raven safe from all the danger. But Raven keeps going to him whenever something happens. He has to keep her away to protect her. This story is full of mysteries to be solved, which some of them are. It’s full of action and steam with tragic sadness, too.
There is a mind blowing surprise at the end of this book that left my jaw hanging open. Cant wait for the next story in this series. It can’t come soon enough for me.

Never a dull moment….

This book has a good story line. The characters are good. Raven, however is suppose to have this new lease on life and all about living it but acts almost childlike when she knows she should not put it in danger so easily. But I guess that is why we keep reading. Vinnie’s life just got turned up side down again when he gets the news from his grandfather. I really like how the writer gives us twist and turns in this book, like I said never a dull moment. Who wouldn’t want a bodyguard like Jared. He is such a great brotherly character. Yes, I recommend this book.

I've never been so scared of losing someone in my life, until you...

Vinnie Gallo is determined to keep Raven Bellamy safe and kept far away from his intended path of destruction. But it's an arduous feat as Raven has no intention of leaving his side. An unexpected and unfortunate situation occurs and a secret is discovered. It accelerates Vinnie to go through with his plan of dismantling his Grandfather's empire.

This fifth book in the series is gripping and will hold you in its clutches with suspense.

Volatile Vice

Just when you think you have everything figured out, you get to the end of the book and your mind gets blown away with the revelations you find there!! Vincent and Raven are the stars of this book and even though they get together, they can not stay together because of the threats to the families. But now, they are in love and with this newest wrench thrown into the mix, how will Vincent handle it? Will they ever be together? Volatile was the perfect title for this book — I loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another saga in the Bellamy Brothers lives.

Vinnie is hooked on Ravin and Ravin feels the same way. But Vinnie knows better because his grandfather has ideas of hurting Ravin if Vinnie continues to see her. Ravin wants to start her non profit but suddenly finds her attorney dead. Ravin is being watched by someone and now has a bodyguard. Vinnie is scheduled to spend a month in Bogata on business for his grandfather. He suddenly faces a new twist to his life. You have to read it to keep up with everyone.

Holy moly!
This is 5th book in The Bellamy Brother’s series and it doesn’t disappoint! This story continues with Raven Bellamy and Vinnie Gallo’s love story with all the stuff that each family is dealing with. The good, bad and ugly. Can their love story withstand it all. You have to read it to find out.
I am all in and can’t wait for more!!!!

Thank you Helen Hardt for another great book! Keep them coming.

Hateful Story

For all of the love there is certainly hate. Powerful families with so many twisted secrets. While Raven is a strong woman, she doesn't come across that way. Yes she has fought a tough battle and survived. But her fairytale look at love solving everything is misguided in that it takes away from her strength. She has yet to understand the big picture. I guess the next installment will makes things clearer.

Wow. The ending had crossed my mind. Raven needs some happiness, love, caring, healing. But all she is getting is sadness, loss, hurt, danger and not in control of her life. Something she worked hard to achieve through her illness. Vinnie is unfortunately his father’s son. But his own life is not his own. The mafia does that to her own.
It will be interesting where this goes.
A new turn in the story is surprising and I hope it gets it due .

Another twist

Holy cow! Raven and Vinnie are so good together. Alls he wants is her safety and she being as stubborn as ever only wants to be by Vinnie's side.. Mr. Bellemy also has skeltons in his
closet.. Vinnie has continued loss and grief. Can't wait to read the next installment

[Jennifer Bradford · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 5th book in the Bellamy Brothers series doesn't disappoint! The love story between Raven and Vinnie is hotter than ever! As their romance heats up so does the need to Vinny to stay away from Raven to protect her. Another masterful book by Helen Hardt!

Helen does it every time and leaves you needing to know more and having to buy the next in the series. Highly recommend reading.

[Peggy Gruber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good storyline but I am just not feeling the chemistry between Vinny and Raven.

[Janet · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm hooked on this series. These are spicy and suspenseful. I recommend starting at book one since each book leads into the next. We learn more about Vinnie and Raven in this book.
