Crave Me: Mafia Romance
When I'm done with her, she's going to crave me just as much as I crave her.
She thought she could storm back into my world after leaving me when I needed her the most. She’s in for a surprise. I’m no longer the boy who was obsessed with her. I’m no longer afraid of my dark cravings and no longer need her to be my moral compass.
However, there are a few things I want from Tatianna Dupree. I want her to hurt the way she hurt me. I want her to despair the way she made me despair. I want her to cry, the way she made me cry. I want her to crave me, the way she made me crave her. And then, I want to break her, the way she broke me. Now that she’s back, revenge will be mine.
And so will she.

Fated
That was a great read, the only complaint I have, I need to be able to see the characters in my mind’s eyes , therefore I need detailed descriptions of their physical and their ages… I was listening for a bit at one point, I probably missed it or something.
Anyway, I love the way they loved each other, their chemistry, camaraderie … etc . No wonder others wanted what they couldn’t have. I hurt for them, that last scene in the bathroom, I cried with them.
I love the mothers, their friendship and craziness… They will do anything to protect their kids.
The Ferrara’s craziness, I didn’t see that one coming… my goodness! No spoilers!!
ps, Taro, will he have his own story? plz plz !!

Meant to be
Bryceson and Tatianna fell in love from a very young age. They always thought they would have this fairy tale life, even through both of their family had mafia connections. Of course some really bad characters infiltrated their bubble to cause them not only physical harm, but years of suffering and misunderstandings.
This story has a lot of twist and turns to keep you wondering why was so much misery brought upon these two. I enjoyed the way the author provided some history about not only Bryce and Tati's background, but she gave you the full understanding of their families, their connections. This allowed you to grasp and feel all the many challenges and obstacles this couple faced and endured.
Boy, I have to say, the two characters that brought me the most joy and laughter were Mrs. Tina Dupree and Momma Cattaneo. These two ladies were straight-up gangsters. I feel bad for anybody that comes after people they love. I want those two ladies in my corner if I ever got into any trouble.
I was originally introduced to the Cattaneo family as part of the DeLuca Bloodline series, then this book was included in the Savage Bosses anthology. The author did an excellent job including the prequel and additional content to get a full understanding of all the crazy stuff that happened between these two. I would highly recommend after you finish this book, go and read Orazio Cattaneo's story on kindle vella.

Bryce & Tati
This is the 2nd time I have read Bryceson and Tatianna story. This book is a different story than the one in Savage Bosses, and I totally enjoyed it. There is a different twist on why the Farrinas wanted Bryce so badly, and it was crazy.
I loved that we got a chance to see badass Tati.
I also would like to read a book about Tina the Demon and Mrs. Cattaneo friendship. I loved these two mothers.
This book is a new version and you will totally enjoy it.

This story kept me on my toes. I was constantly trying to unravel all of the madness going on with the Ferraros. They were a crazy bunch. The moms were deadly and funny. An exciting read.

Absolutely Magnificent
Oh WOW this is definitely more than I expected. It's so exciting and I know you will enjoy it also, these characters are so awesome. There are moments where I had to read a paragraph more than once it was so captivating. I enjoyed Tatiana's character she is not who you think she is amazing. This is so compelling with the violence suspense and vengeance. I was so engaged in this story because it pulls you in from the start of the story with all of the action it's so fantastic. Plus I enjoyed the fact that the couple has so much electricity between the two of them, and how their chemistry feels so realistic. Another thing I enjoyed besides the couple's hot chemistry is the suspense along with the drama it will have you on the edge of your seat, it will ignite your curiosity and more. Then there's all of the secondary characters which are so captivating plus the family is filled with drama and their relationship is wild. The storyline is fantastic with it's Mafia vibe and when you add in Bryceson craziness after his girl left which gave him take no prisoners attitude. He is handsome with dark curls . This gives you awesome and pleasurable experience with the intriguing twists they go through ." There is lots of action but it's what keeps you turning pages. I couldn't help but to have a sleepless night because there was no way I putting down my reader down because I couldn't stop reading until the end. But I must tell you that even at the end its awesome and absolutely enjoyable. OMG the ending had me excited and pleased . This is Marvelous and I will start reading the next one in this series Happy Reading

I aboslutely loved this book! This is a rerelease, and the new parts gave a whole new feel to the ending of this book. The characters are so deep and we get to explore that like before, but from a more intimate view now that it is in first person. Bryce and Tati are happy until something blows up their bubble and ends their relationship. The plotting, the twists and turns, the badassery! It was a wild ride and I thoroughly enjoyed being on it and seeing their story unfold in a whole new way. This story connects to other stories Ms. Allen has written, however you don't feel lost if you haven't read them. Its more like a nice little nod to them to let you know they are around and in the midst of their own stories. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in mafia, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, second chance romance, revenge, badassery, a little bit of comedy, and lots of action and steam!

This is Bryceson and Tatianna’s story.
Bryce and Tati were destined to be together until they are torn apart by lies and manipulation, when they needed each other the most. Now Tati is back and she wants vengeance, and Bryce is determined to destroy and make her pay. Neither character are the people they used to be, but will they be able to get a second chance before they destroy each other?
This is a well written story which has family dynamics, friendships, emotions, lies, secrets, trust, humor, witty banter, revenge, danger, suspense, intrigue, manipulations, revelations, determination, obsession, miscommunication, soulmates, complex characters, palpable chemistry, and love, which leads to a spicy, entertaining, unpredictable, twisted, and a thrilling and addictive mafia romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

An epic read!
Crave Me was previously published in the Savage Bosses box set and I’m so happy about this updated epic story of Tatianna Dupree and Bryceson Cattaneo. The machinations of his father and the Farrina family to keep them apart for five long years. That’s not totally true. Their lack of communication, not trusting each other with the truth and fear of not living up to the person that they placed on each other’s pedestal caused their break up. It unfortunately took five years for them to reconnect and what a re-connection it is. They were not the same people they used to be. They’d both changed and grown stronger. But one thing didn’t changed. They still loved each other more than anything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sweet Cravings
Teenage love that did stand against the first sign of problems.
Tati and Bryce knew each other since childhiid. But as their relaionship developed, they created a space that didnt allow growth and acceptancr of all parts of them.
They both wanted to be different from the darker traits of their families and refused to admit that they both have those traits as well.
When they both realized that they couldnt live up to the image they created of themselves, they ran from themselves and each other.
When she decide to return to save Bryce, Bryce decided he will make her pay for leaving him. These revenge schemes never work out as intended...lol
Bryce's dad was something else. His schemes against his son was interesting.

I’m not too sure if I read the same book everyone was raving about. This could all have been avoided if people learnt the art of communication!! It started off on a good note then idk where it went downhill for me, maybe I was waiting for the shoe to drop and when it did I just skim read until the end.
It got better towards the end but I just felt that after the first 2 chapters the romance was gone and I didn’t get that ‘crave me’ aspect because he was straight up mean, of course Tati was weak asf for accepting it.

Bravo
This was so good. I read the other Cantanaeo books, but knowing Bryce’s back story rounded out the family. The love he and Tati had never died, which made me smile. The pettiness was next level though. And Bryce’s father! What he allowed to happen to Bryce was awful. Lora and Tina were my favorites, their ruthlessness was not to be overlooked. Tina’s mini pep talk in the car made me laugh. Melinda and Matthew were crazy! That entire family needed help. Great book overall! Can’t wait to read the next one.

I want more of Bryce and Tati
I have loved all of the books I’ve read by M’Renee Allen. They are action packed, funny, and addictive.
Bryce and Tatianna’s story was so sweet and their crazy mamas made it even better. They both ran from their demons, but revenge brought them back together. I would love to know what Tati and Taro got up to in Paris 🤫, there could be a novella there.
If the new generation of Cattaneo women are like mama Tina and mama Lora, then I’m sure there will be more to come.
A definite must read.

I love a book that makes me think I'm not going to like it or makes me question the storyline only to turn around and make it all makes sense. I ain't gonna lie, I was taking sh*t in my head about the FMC at first, but the about face she made had me wanting her to be my best friend.
I purchased the Savage Bosses box where this was first released, but never read it. I went back and read it after finishing Crave Me. I enjoyed that one, but this was is even better.
I recommend this to ever fan of the author, mafia books, Savage Bloodline Series, and everything in between. 10 out of 10!!!!

This book had everything I have come to except from a M'RENEE ALLEN book!!! I love everything about Bryce and Tatianna's story.
They had to battle several storms in order for them to come out on the other side on their way to happiness.
I honestly couldn't believe how many people wanted them to fail; it seemed like they had enemies coming out from the shadows at every turn.
I found myself being a willing participant on their rollercoaster ride to Happily Ever After!!!

4.5 stars
Exciting read!!! Initially, I was frustrated with Tati and the foresight that the lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings. After awhile, the pieces started to fit and I enjoyed the cat and mouse game between Tati and Bryce. The supporting cast of the mothers was an addition that the readers never knew we needed. Now I’m intrigued and want to know more about the moms. I’m sure their lives are filled with so many spicy tales.

Captivating storyline with non stop action.
This book for me is just what the doctor ordered. I enjoyed it immensely
I enjoyed the content which was focused more on the storyline. The author took me on a journey with the main characters which I loved the heartbreak the, the anger and at time laugh out loud jealousy was real and relatable. Please continue to write books specifically just like this one.

Bryce and Tati are captivating characters.
I wanted so much for them!
This is only my third story by the author and I definitely need more!
I was entranced by the storyline!
Hard to put down!
I really love second chance romance and Ms. Allen did it so right!
Fantastic story!

D*mn, that was hot!
Tatianna and Bryce are pure fire even when they were “enemies” and trying their best to punish each other. You read the blurb, so you know that Bryce was under the wrong impression about Tati, but neither of them could deny the fire between them although they tried. I highly recommend this lovers to enemies romance. Brava, Ms. Allen! A+++

Loved it
This book is one of a few books I've come across that had no grammatical errors I noticed. Well written and easy to read. I loved the style in which it was written. The storyline was pretty awesome. I wish Bryce or his mom had killed Bryce's father for using his son as bait.

Not Enough Heat
New to Me author - The story was great, very detailed but there was no heat. A LOT of internal thoughts which can be boring. No romance. Two X scenes. I may try one more book but 2 X scenes is not enough for 300 page book. Not in a rush to read another book by this author but I will circle back sometime this year.

Crave Me
Tati & Bryce went through so much pain; but their love ❤️ prevailed. They were straight crazy with the ride & die! Tina the Demon & Lora just kept me giggling! Much respect to them both as mothers 🥰🥰 Farrinas family was just screwed up and so happy that they got their just desserts 🍨

Great book, unfortunately, with a lackluster rekindling/ending. With the amount of book of them not together, the romance between the two could have kept going for much more chapters in the end. Loved Bryce and Tati. Wished they got a better send-off.
February 2, 2025
This was really good! I had already read the story about Raz (Bryce's cousin) so reading this one, I am familiar with the Cattaneo Family members. Bryce and Tati have chemistry and I also enjoyed their mom's who are comical lady gangsters! Especially, Tati's mom! Great story!
