Gunner

by Lily L. James, Sarina Hart (editor)

She doesn't know me—but she’s always been mine.

Five years, I’ve been the shadow in her past. She don’t know the man who rescued her from her kidnapper that night was me. And it’s gotta stay that way.

Diletta’s got a new life now—bright, clean, miles away from my world of violence and sin. Watchin’ her from the sidelines was supposed to be enough.

But one chance meeting, one brush of those eyes and I’m wrecked.

She don’t recognize me, but I know the truth, and we’re both gonna be in danger if our past catches up with us. So for her sake I gotta hit the road.

I wasn’t counting on Diletta—that woman won’t let me go, so I stay and fight for us both. But when our peace is shattered can I save her, or is war gonna come to our small town?

This ride’s gonna break me. But if it keeps her safe? I’ll take the hit.

Gunner is the 3rd installment in the Satan's Angels MC series. Each book in the series delivers a standalone happily ever after for the couple, but for the best experience, we recommend reading them in order.

Gunner and Diletta

If you like MC books with some Mafia thrown in, this is the book for you. Gunner has been keeping eyes on Diletta for quite some time without her knowing about it…until she does. He’s her hero after rescuing her. This book is filled with action, steam and drama which made this a big page turner.

This is another addition to the Satan’s Angel’s MC series and a book you don’t want to miss.

So far so good with this one, and the typos/grammatical errors are much less. I'm really liking both characters - Gunner (Ronan) & Diletta (which translates to Beloved in Italian) are both damaged and alone, but together they're a magnificent mess, both healing the other. More than 1/2 way and hoping the rest of the book continues to be good. To be cont'd....

4.5 STARS!!!


This was def the best of the series so far and it did continue to be good - even the inevitable drama was not too OTT and resolved quickly. Diletta is an absolute warrior and a perfect match for her wounded champion. Loved the story and only deducted a half-star due to the sloppy typos/grammatical errors (which were, at least, kept to a minimum). Really hoping the next in the series can hold up to this.

A great addition to the series!

I really liked this book. I liked the more introspective vibe that it had. Gunner (Ronan) and Diletta were amazing main characters, both in their own light. I liked Gunner, but I LOVED Diletta. Gunner was in state of personal, inner suffering, punishing himself for the past. He went to America from Italy with one purpose alone; guard Diletta. His obsession, his passion, his life. He does it from the shadows for years, but this somehow changes now. Mistake after mistake, unconscious on his part, reveals his presence to her. But Diletta is also not as fragile as he thinks he is. A mafia princess in hiding to be protected. She is so not what he thinks she is. She is determined, strong, resilient, unafraid and her own hero. She’s determined to save not only herself, but Gunner as well. Even if he needs saving from himself. She does something no one else did in the past; she fights for him. This turns his world in its axes. This time he also has his MC family for support. Secret identities, action, an overprotective mafia boss and lots and lots of inner struggles creates a rollercoaster of a story, with the weigh falling onto our MCs inner struggles the most. I liked every page. 4.5 stars.

Gunner, A natural born villain, and one of Satan’s Angels. He was the last person who kidnapped Diletta years before but it was to free her. Now he watches her from the shadows. This night he is almost caught.
Diletta is a a kindergarten teacher.But her identity is all fake. She bakes because she likes to bake. One night she senses something and grabs her glock and goes outside.
Gunner has been obsessed with her since the moment he saw her five years before when he rescued her from his boss's son and took her home to her father. He knows he should stay away but he doesn't. She's like a drug and he's addicted to her. He tries to leave but can't. One night after an altercation he goes to watch her. He's been sick with the flu and he just got shot. She senses him and goes out. When she sees blood and that's he's ill she takes him inside. He cant handle the feelings that she brings. He needs to leave completely. Before the mafia find him and her. Will he finally leave or will she get him to stay? Is it love, obsession or something in between?
A story that will shred the reader's emotions and bring tears to the eyes.

Why I love this book- Gunner saved Diletta from kidnappers years ago, and he has stalked her ever since because she is his world. That level of feeling is amazing to read about. And she fights for him, which makes it a good story. Plus I love how he has a soulless persona but is secretly the golden retriever type, but only for her. The main characters are very intense with each other but they can also be funny. This is hard to pull off. And I’m always a sucker for a misunderstood antihero and a love story for a man of mystery.

Gunner is another amazing MC romance from this series. Author Lily L. James continues to write fantastic MC romances that I absolutely enjoyed reading. She is becoming one of my many favorite MC romance authors. I immediately fell in love with the main characters and their amazing story. I couldn’t put this book down until I had read the last page. I was completely captivated from start to finish. The characters are well developed and beautifully executed throughout the book. This is a book that I would give as a recommendation for anyone who enjoys reading MC romances. I’m looking forward to reading more amazing MC romances from this author in the future.

4 1/2 Star Review. Gunner is a man from Diletta's mafia past. He's been watching her, and she's now a kindergarten teacher in the USA. Gunner is a man-obsessed watching her while trying not to let her know that he's there doing so. One night, she catches him in her backyard and comes out to confront him, but he manages to escape. From there begins a slow-burn relationship between the two until things get hot and steamy.
I received an arc from Booksprout for my voluntary honest review for NN Book Blog. If you love a mafia/biker romance, this one has it all. Lily keeps you turning the pages with all the twists and turns you don't see coming.

Gunner saved Diletta when he was someone else, now he watches over her every night, some would call it stalking. Diletta/Haley is kindergarten teacher, who has a big secret that only Gunner knows. One night she catches him in her yard, she is not sure if her past has come back to find her.

Diletta/Haley was raised in the life and is more than able to protect herself and then some. She learns his secrets and is determined he is not going to go off into the night, she is claiming him, in front of his club. It Diletta to convince Gunner he just might be worth it. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Gunner and Dileta’s story starts in Italy and goes straight to the Satan’s Angel’s MC . They go through literal hell to get together and in the end it is her father’s own machinations that almost ends it all ! Great storyline, fantastic characters, with cameos of previous MC members making appearances. The author leaves us set up to deal with the next chapter of the MC’s love story. 4✨’s due to moderate editing issues. I can’t wait for the next story in the series.

Wonderful story, we are taken along in the life of Dilettas and Gunner. Without her knowing, Gunner keeps an eye on her from a distance. But at some point they meet each other and he can no longer follow her from a distance and in the dark. From that moment on, when problems arise, he does everything he can to help and protect her. There is enough action, tension, drama, danger and many steamy and hot scenes. I can't wait for the next part of this great series.

Gunner is fantastic! His and Diletta's is compelling from page one and completely consumes readers until the very end. Secrets, twists, turns and surprises are at the forefront of this one.
These characters are great and seeing the growth in them from the beginning to the very was great as well. Definitely a recommended read!

Gunner saved Diletta but couldn't let her go so he stayed in the background watching over her until he couldn't. When they connect again Gunner is a goner but when trouble finally finds them will he be able to keep her safe. This action-packed story is well written with engaging characters that drew me in and had me connecting with them.

This book initially evoked a sense of S.O.A. but ultimately led me in a different direction. I am delighted to have discovered this author, who has crafted a female protagonist with a strong attitude, avoiding the typical portrayal of a damsel in distress found in many other works. This book was an excellent read, and I eagerly anticipate what the author will produce next.

Gunner has remained in the shadows guarding and protecting Diletta without her knowledge. When he accidently reveals himself to her, sparks fly. These are two people who have been damaged by their past and find redemption in each other. This is a dark, gritty MC romance with some deep characters that find salvation in each other.

A suspenseful book And yet one of slowly learning to love

This was a suspenseful book All the way through it. If it wasn't 1 thing it was something else. I found the characters interesting and quite brilliant in fact. It took me all night to read It took me all night to read this book But it was well worth the read. I like the main characters And the press and VP Of the bike club.

Great story!!

This is the 3rd book in fascinating series and this is Dilette and Gunner's story.
This is a well written action packed story, which has family dynamics, friendships, emotions, loyalty, heartbreak, challenges, humour, witty banter, determination, secrets, undeniable chemistry, and love which all leads to an entertaining, unpredictable, and thrilling addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

When you take a strong, silent, and obsessed man. And throw in a fiercely independent and passionate woman. You end up having one explosive and dynamic couple! That sums up Gunner and Diletta! Instant chemistry and totally committed to each other. Great story!!!.

Gunner's life is full of secrets, including being a stalker. Haley has a lot of secrets herself. When she meets Gunner, his secrets come out, and then the story really takes off. Good story, I liked learning Gunners softer side.
