One kiss. Years of resolve... gone.

Shadows lurk. Enemies circle.
Our dance of desire and deceit begins.

A psycho stalks her.
My son's in the crosshairs.
I must

My mafia family?
Or the one I never knew existed?

In my world, love is a death sentence.
Our passion could save us.
Or destroy everything.

she's been on the run from killers since she was 17, protecting their baby for the past 10 years, while he spent the decade screwing every other women and not finding her

I immediately shifted to a life of sleeping around and being the ultimate playboy. Flings and one-night stands were supposed to erase the grip she had on me, but it never made a difference. I belonged to her, even though she discarded me and the love we shared. No woman ever compared to her, and she was the measuring stick I held everyone else to. A lifetime of sleeping around couldn’t remove her from my mind. The memories of her lingered until this day

i'm so not in the mood for this, so dnf for now

Under His Embrace is the fourth installment in The Constella Family series. Under His Embrace is an amazing mafia romance story which I found to be an amazing addition to the genre. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Under His Embrace which I thought to be well-written, beautifully balanced, and brilliantly executed by Author Leona White. This author continues to create amazing mafia romance stories with captivating storylines, amazing characters, and the outcomes she creates of the books is phenomenal. Under His Embrace follows the story of Chloe and Franco who are interesting and quite intriguing at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both the characters and witnessing their love unfold before my eyes. At times while reading the book, I felt that I was actually right there in the book to witness their love become a reality for them. Under His Embrace is a book in which I would HIGHLY recommend this amazing mafia romance story to other readers. I’m looking forward to seeing what else Author Leona White will come up with for her next book.

I really enjoyed this story. Chloe and Franco had been together during highschool, but her parents really did not approve. She knew that Franco was going to be part of the Constella Mafia family and while she was a little afraid, she loved him dearly. Then she disappears for 10 years. She ends up being the only survivor of a hit on a deli she was working at. He was shocked and questioned her thoroughly but knew she was holding something back. It was a shock to find out what it was too. Chloe realized his family (even though they were the Mafia) were very loving and protective of each other). It had an HEA but it took awhile for them to get there. A very good story.

OMG!! I was astounded reading this book I was hooked from the start until the very end, the story was written well and the characters were sensational. This story was about Franco Constella and Chloe, they hadn't seen each other for ten years when she ran away, now she's running for her life only to be saved by him. Chloe had felt guilt with the secrets, Franco he could not talk to her at first until he controlled himself. He knows she is hiding something from him, but the need for each other won. All they want to do is just hold each other to never let go but what will happen when her big secret comes out.

This was another excellent book. I enjoyed it immensely. I didn't really care for Chloe. The reason being her keeping Caleb from Franco made me just like her. I understand her having to run with everything her mom and dad were trying to do. What I don't understand is her never reaching out to him and letting him know that he had a son. And then when they reunited she stayed there for a week and was intimate with him and still didn't tell him. In my opinion there's no reason ever to keep a child from their parents unless that parent is abusive.

Chloe and Dante were just 2 kids who thought they were in love. After graduation, Chloe abruptly left, without a trace. How ironic that many years later, they reconnected in the middle of a very hostile situation. Can Chloe be trusted, even though Dante knows she is keeping a huge secret? Can broken hearts heal over time? Can Dante balance business and pleasure? This is a must read with an unpredictable but believable storyline that kept me reading way past my bedtime.

On the Run

Franco and Chloe have been separated for ten years, and she has been keeping a secret. While he was broken hearted and drowned himself in women, little did he know what her reasons for disappearing were. This part of the story was very emotional, and only together will they be able to fight off the danger in the shadows. It was a suspenseful and entertaining read despite Franco not figuring out something was wrong when she left.

Beautiful!

Second chance at love and that's what Franco and Chole got! Franco never gave up on Chole so when she came back in his life he knew he still loved her .But he knew that she was hiding a secret or two and she need to tell him before she could tell him how she felt about him.Before Chole could tell him her secret a mini me walk in on Franco and Liam! Suddenly the mansion was babies-babies and no more secerts and the bad guys were taken care off!

Franco and Chloe. They've been apart for ten years but their chemistry is like it was yesterday. This book begins where the last book ended. When he and Liam find the witness hes surprised who it is. Now he has a family he didnt know existed. And being as young as he is Caleb takes up for his mother. Loved their story. Great read from page one to the last page.

I'm SO disappointed. The summary of the book implies that the FMC tells the MMC pretty soon about their child but you have to wait until 70% for him to learn it (and it's by accident and not her who tells him). I HATE this trope when the FMC hides that long such an important thing while still being in a relationship with the MMC.

Franco and Chloe's story was fantastic. I loved the blend of drama, emotion, action, twists and heart that flowed like silk while delivering a potent punch. This one definitely tugged at my heartstrings and had me up in my feels.

WOW

If you like Mafia romance and suspense you have to read this series. This book was Franco and Chloe's story. Lots of action, I read it in a day because I couldn't put it down. No cliffhanger and a happily ever after.

[Kerri Long · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chloe and Franco were high school sweethearts. They loved each other a lot. They had to go their separate ways which broke Franco. They could never forget about each other. When love is meant to be, there will be a way back to each other. This was an amazing love story.

love Franco and Chloe love story

I love how their loves manage to stay strong after 10 years being apart. How Franco was able to forgive Chloe and understood the reasons why she has to stay away to protect their son. A good happy ending
