Collateral Destruction #3
Beautiful Destruction
Beck: It’s like a nightmare, waking up in a dingy hospital room without Mazzy by my side. But I don’t have time to feel infatuation or confusion. I have to stay focused.
I have finally inherited what was passed down to me; I accept full responsibility for the Philly famiglia now. With that responsibility comes tough choices, danger, and a ridiculous amount of posturing. I need to make sure my enemies know they’re being watched, and that my allies know they’re being protected. I must do it all while maintaining a clear head about what comes next. But how do I maintain a clear head when my girl, the only woman I’ve ever loved, is in the hands of sworn enemies by choice? Whatever the reason, I know for a fact that I’ll do anything I can to get her back.
Mazzy: Here I am, forced into the same strange Twilight Zone I lived in for nearly 20 years, before finally finding my way out. I’m cracking in every corner, certain I’ll shatter any moment. But no one gets to shatter me besides Beck.
I’m waiting for him—hoping for a solution that only he can bring. Because I think that if I shatter before he finds a way to bring me back to him, he won’t be able to put me back together the way he always does.

📖 Beautiful Destruction by Christina B. Rose
🗓 Read: 04.28.25 - 05.28.25
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
What a phenomenal, heart-pounding conclusion to an unforgettable series! 😍 This third and final book in the Collateral Destruction Series absolutely delivered. Christina B. Rose knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat while tugging at your heartstrings and fanning the flames of romance.
We dive right back in where book two left off — Beck stepping into his new role as Don and Mazzy trapped in her personal hell at her parents’ estate. The tension kicks in from page one and refuses to let go. So many long-held secrets are finally revealed, and just when you think you’ve seen it all, another jaw-dropping twist hits. 😱
Mazzy’s growth in this book is powerful and emotional. 💜 She faces horrors, heartbreak, and betrayal, but never lets the world break her. Beck is everything — protective, possessive, a little unhinged, and completely devoted. 👑🔥 Their chemistry is still electric, and while this book is heavier on suspense, the spice scenes hit so good. 🌶️
The pacing in this one is much quicker than book two — I stayed up until 2:30am because I physically couldn’t stop reading. The family secrets, the revenge, the found family feels… it was everything I wanted and more.
Another thing I absolutely loved: the side characters. Vivie’s sharp wit, Vito’s loyalty, and the warmth of Geri and Cindy made this dark world feel strangely comforting. And those subtle cameo nods to characters from other series? Loved every second.
And on a personal note — as an artist, it was such an honor to be trusted to help bring these characters to life through my artwork. 🎨✨ Beck, Mazzy, and the entire cast live so vividly in Christina’s writing, and getting to create for this world was an absolute dream. If you haven’t already, please go check out Christina B. Rose’s Etsy shop — it’s filled with amazing merch, art, and goodies from this series and others. You’ll love it! 💜https://www.etsy.com/shop/Christinabr...
Such a fantastic finish to a great series. I’m sad it’s over 😭 but so thrilled with how it wrapped up. And something tells me we might not have seen the last of Beck and Mazzy… 👀

𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: The third and final book of an amazing trilogy. I have enjoyed this series from book one, where I was so sucked into their world that I felt disoriented with my real world once I was done. Each book has been like that for me. This last installment in their story is EPIC. So many things come together that were hinted about during the first two. It's like finally putting the final pieces of the puzzle together and what a freaking doozey of a puzzle.
From the start, Mazzy's character goes through some tremendous growth. Being forced to be back in her childhood home that left her with so much trauma, she finally found her voice and her backbone. She stood up to her mother and father despite knowing that there would be repercussions for doing so. She didn't just slide into this feeling of despair that was within her grasp and let her parents win. She fought, and the growth of her character while she did so was wonderful to read. She went from being a scared woman to someone fierce.
Beck, the way he basically burned down the world for her was surprisingly romantic. He did absolutely everything he could to ensure not just her safety, but the safety of Cyrus as well. He did not care who she was or who her parents were. He loved her and it really showed through in this final book.
I don't want to give anything away, but holy heck it's pretty crazy, especially the last few chapters!
This is definitely a trilogy worth reading!!

When Beck awakens and finds Mazzy gone, he is going to go insane. He knows why she left with her family. He will do anything to get her back to him and safe. He will have to jump through many hoops, plan, bring others in, and plot to make things go his way. Meanwhile, Mazzy will suffer like she never has.
Mazzy cannot stand being in the house her parents own. Her mother is a despicable person with no feelings. She puts Mazzy through torment and torture time and again. Beck is biding his time for the alliance and Mazzy. The Russians will also have a spot in the plans. Cyrus meanwhile remembers more and more about his time with Mazzy. She cannot and will not leave his side.
Tony is still MIA; but once found surprising truths are revealed. Beck will uncover so much that it is unbelievable. Mazzy and Cyrus’ lives will once again be in danger. So many betrayals, so many secrets. They will all go up in flames once revealed. Who will live and die this time around?
I enjoyed the trilogy with the high heat, action, and great world building of the characters. The books draw you in not only with the storyline but with the characters as well. To know that love exists out in the world between couples in the direst of circumstances and how it can make life altering changes is real. You can just feel the pain Mazzy experiences through it all. You can feel the epic love between her and Beck. It got me in the feels! Great series! Read the epic conclusion to Mazzy and Beck’s story!

What an Epic Ending!!! A definite MUST READ!!
I love the way this author pulls you into this chaotic world and lets you feel every emotion along the way. She paints vivid imagery and builds suspense that keeps you glued till the very last page. Beck & Mazzy's journey has been filled with secrets, lies, heartbreak, betrayal, and an undeniable connection they can't ignore any longer. If you want suspense and tension this book brings it tenfold!! I can't believe we are at the end of their journey but it was a rollercoaster of emotions to get here.
You can expect those heart pounding moments of suspense, the unraveling of secrets, heat induced steamy times with action packed unforgettable moments mixed in as well. Get ready to see a new side to Beck, he has a softer but more protective side that comes out this time, and it's not just Mazzy he will want to protect at all costs. Mazzy will have to endure some extremely painful moments but it will finally allow her to stand up and become the person she has strived so hard to be. Both Beck & Mazzy will finally get the answers they have been plagued by and even some vindication along the way.
This has been one of my favorite mafia romances this year and I can't wait to see what is next by this amazingly talented author. I highly recommend you grab this series/book and get lost in all the craziness along the way to an epic HEA. A definite must read for any mafia romance lovers.

"My shy little doll isn't so shy anymore."
AAAAAHHHH I absolutely loved this trilogy! And super sad this is the last installment.. but what a fucking phenomenal conclusion to Thier journey.. Christina always brings her A game and never disappoints at all.! I can't wait to see what she brings us next...
It's such a wild rollercoaster ride with twists and turns, that leave you on the edge of your seat and jaw on the ground. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it back down, their journey definitely wasn't an easy one that's for sure, but everything comes together.
It's dark, gritty, spicy and unhinged. And I loved every delicious minute of it.
It's filled with revenge, hurt, spice, action, drama, suspense, angst and so much more. The world building is amazing, the characters are great, the plot and storyline was epic. Just beautifully written as always.
This series is definitely one of my favourites, it really stole my heart. You can't help but fall in love with them. And lets not forget how adorable beck and Cyrus was.
ITS DEFINITELY A MUST READ!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
My favourite quote🧐⬇️
"It'll be fine sweetheart, it'll be fine. I dont care what I have to do, I'm going to get you out of here. I'll burn the entire fucking state of Pennsylvania to the ground before I let them hurt you anymore."

I feel like each book in this trilogy gets better & better!!
While the first two books felt more like romance books, this third book, in my opinion, definitely had more of a thriller vibe. There were still some spicy scenes, but the suspense & twists had a huge role in this one.
Mazzy finds out everything, & I mean EVERYTHING her parents have done throughout her life. It’s so much worse than she could ever imagine. Her mother, is not a mother at all. She’s a cold-hearted, selfish, money hungry mafia wife. And she’ll clearly do anything to keep her reputation.
Beck becomes the mafia boss, after being the underboss in the first two books. He tries everything in his power to get Mazzy away from her crazed psycho parents who are holding her hostage because she will not leave without her 6yr old nephew.
This book gets super intense. The family secret’s run deep & they all finally get exposed for what they are.
I loved this one so much! It’s exactly what I was needing after the cliffhanger that the 2nd book left off on. The HEA is just *chefs kiss*. It couldn’t have been any better!

This book was everything. It was the perfect end to the previous two cliffhangers.
Every detail was pulled together, every suspicion and question and mystery of what was what and who was responsible for previous events gets answered.
You really see the worst of the shitty people and the best of the main characters in this. You see just how disgusting and disturbed Mazzy's family really is.
Mazzy and Beck were great in this one. Mazzy has grown so much and is really able to find her voice and stand up to her family. Beck supports her by listening to her wishes and not just bulldozing every decision when trying to keep her safe. Their spark is still off the charts and while this doesn't have has many spicy scenes as the previous book, the amount makes sense for what's happening in the book and when the spice is there, it's there!
Mazzy and Cyrus stole my heart, but Beck and Cyrus... freaking adorable.
Loved this series so much and while I'm sad it's over, I was thrilled with how it wrapped up.

I just finished this and I'm hoping to recover from this masterpiece.
Once I started reading, I couldn't stop! I got really pulled into the story. I eagerly waited for Beck to get Mazzy out of that hellhole!
I loved how the author engaged my emotions with the story, I felt and empathized with the characters.
Loved how Mazzy didn't fall back to her old self but stood still being her real bold, confident self.
And Beck, the knight in shining armor. I personally wished he got rid of her parents but he really cared about Mazzy's feelings and didn't want to hurt her and lie to her. That was so much growth.
The sex was BDSM-y as promised. I'm not into that, but it was well written and spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️
The last sex scene was especially great, the ravishing was neat. Lol
Oh Cy was awesome and adorable, well written, his reactions to everything.
Well, the ending was beautiful and remained true to the characters personalities. They weren't transformed to people they were not.
Christina, you're a fabulous writer and this was an incredible experience, thank you!!!

Such a fantastic finish to a great series!!! So many answers are finally revealed that you just can’t believe! How can someone be so cruel and evil?
Mazzy goes through so much during this last book. It really gives you more insight into her mind and behaviors. Beck continues to fight for Mazzy and tries to protect her in every way he can throughout the last book. The truce between the two families is still being negotiated with Mazzy being stuck in the middle. Don’t want to give away any spoilers so you will have to read the conclusion of the series to find out how it all ends. Will they get their happy ever after?
All I can say is, Christina knocked it out of the park AGAIN! Great series! Great characters, great writing, loved the story! I am going to miss Mazzy and Beck but I am sure we will see a cameo of them in some other series. You don’t want to miss this book!!

ARC Review
🖤🖤🖤🖤.5
I wasn't anticipating just how much more action there is in this part of their story. This book moves at a much faster pace than book 2. We jump right into the action with Beck taking over the Don position and Mazzy being stuck at her parents. There are a lot of loose ends that need to be wrapped up at the beginning of this book.
The truth comes out and so many plot twists happen. Especially towards the end. I do like that we get to see little glimpses of characters from other series. They aren't main characters so you don't necessarily have to read their books to understand who they are in the mafia universe.
If there is one thing I love about Christina's books, it has to be the side characters. Vivie has a good, quick wit, that I really enjoy. She is smart and keeps Beck on his toes. Vito is loyal, but also straight-forward. Then there are Geri and Cindy, who act like stand-in parents and make sure everyone is well taken care of.

We jump right into the action with Beck taking over the Don position and Mazzy being stuck at her parents. There are a lot of loose ends that need to be wrapped up at the beginning of this book.
The truth comes out and so many plot twists happen. Especially towards the end. I do like that we get to see little glimpses of characters from other series. They aren't main characters so you don't necessarily have to read their books to understand who they are in the mafia universe.
If there is one thing I love about Christina's books, it has to be the side characters. Vivie has a good, quick wit, that I really enjoy. She is smart and keeps Beck on his toes. Vito is loyal, but also straight-forward. Then there are Geri and Cindy, who act like stand-in parents and make sure everyone is well taken care of.

This is Book 3 in Series and they must be read in order
What you can expect:
✨ Mafia
💜 Who Did This To You
✨ Kidnaping
💜 Good Girl
✨ BDSM
💜 Sassy & Smart FMC
✨ Morally grey MMC
💜 Forbidden Romance
✨ check TW/CW prior to reading
This is the stunning conclusion to the series. The main characters, Beck and Masirah have experienced significant growth, especially Masirah. She started as a meek, sad, shy FMC and slowly has come into her own. Her defiance towards her was nothing short of glorious.
Beck may not be a good man, but her is good to her and his love for her contributed to his own growth.
There are some points in the story that i would have been more than happy to move it a long a little faster, however, i think that was due to my own impatience of just wanting these characters to get to their HEA.
Their chemistry continues to run hot! Masirah inhibitions drop and her sensuality and sexuality awakens. She is not afraid to go for what she wants and Beck is there to meet her desires.
We also get to learn more about her parents and their awful ways. You gain a better appreciation of Masirah and why she is the way she is (especially in book 1, i found her to be whiny and petulant, but now i get it!).
We also get interaction with characters from previous books!
Overall, Book 3 is my favourite in the series.
I received a free ARC of this book, and this review is only my opinion.

The trilogy of Mazzy & Beck is a adrenaline packed roller coaster, book 1 sets up the story and character's, book 2 started the plot twists and turns and this was a thrilling end to the answers we all wanted and needed.
The relationship between mazzy and Beck is one of the total opposites. It was incredible to watch mazzy become more open and confident and to watch Beck allow her to become an equal. They had funny moment's as well as very sexy sensual scenes.
How mazzy survived her evil damn family, she is truly put through every test imaginable. We knew they were cruel, but seeing the true evil of the woman who doesn't deserve the title of mother was a plot twist. There was not one once of remorse or saving that physco woman. You think it can't get worse, but she is startlingly disgusting.
Awesome read. Once you start, you can't stop.

3.75 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
📚 Last book from the Collateral destruction Trilogy
What a wild ride!
First these books definitely have to be read in order.
Mazzy and Becks story finally comes to an end. This book was jam packed with action and spice 🥵 hawt hawt hawt.
Cyrus’ little 6 year old character seemed way beyond his years, but he was so ADORABLE!
I did feel like this 3rd book could have just been added to the second. It dragged a little bit. The ending came abruptly (no pun intended lol) and felt a little rushed. All of the secrets were just thrown out all at once.
I would’ve liked a little bit more from the epilogue, I wanted to see more of Mazzy, Beck and Cyrus’ HEA
Overall this trilogy was definitely full of twists and turns and spice! I would definitely recommend 💜

This is the third and final book in the Collateral Destruction series. I have read all 3 books and they are amazing! I am so sad to say goodbye to this beautiful couple! I am sorry to see their journey come to an end!
Mazzy has dealt with so much trauma and loss in her life. Who knew being kidnapped would be the best thing to happen in her life?! She met Beck, the man who would burn down the world for her. And she just may need him to do that to save her. Especially when she finds out who is responsible for all of the trauma in her life.
Thank you, Christina B. Rose, for such a great ending to a series! This dynamic duo is amazing. And I need to know more about Casca and Mara! They seem like quite a combustible pair!! I can’t wait to read their story!!

I am so sad this trilogy is over 😭😭
This is the third installment of the Collateral Destruction Series.
We meet with Beck and Mazzy again as they finally confront their pasts and fight to survive and make a future together.
I just love this series! Beck is just hot AF!! And his romance with Mazzy is beautiful, animalistic, sexy and devoted.
This book has me so anxious with the twists and turns and potential for harm to Mazzy from her parents. It had me awake until 2.30am just to keep reading!!
The spice is hot,kinky without seeming seedy and keeps you totally engaged!
I honestly love these books! And I'll be reading Christina's other books too!

The 3rd and final book in the collateral destruction trilogy by Christina and what a fantastic read it was!!
Absolutely amazing books and the storyline kept me gripped through out all three books!
The relationship between The characters and even the surrounding characters kept it interesting and the story alive!
I’m a sucker for a mafia story and this is what I’d call a lighter mafia book but it gets more spicy half way through book 2 and on to book 3 and you understand the fighting scenes without the graphic details but there is still some triggers so definitely check the warnings!!
It was such a good read!
Mazzy and Becks relationship is couple goals !🥰🥰

I couldn't have imagined a better conclusion to this trilogy. This book kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the time. When Mazzy ended up in the "sauna," I was furious. The dynamic between Beck and Mazzy remains hilarious, affectionate, and undeniably steamy—everything you could want. The plot is gripping and filled with suspense. Mazzy's mom is truly despicable, and the writing is so vivid that I could picture her clearly, which made me genuinely angry. I found it impossible to put the book down until I reached the end. I was so eager to discover how it all wrapped up that once I finished, I wished I could erase it from my memory just to experience those emotions all over again.

Beautiful Destruction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Christina B Rose
Mazzy and Beck
This is the final book of the trilogy! All bets are off when it comes to the main characters and whether or not they will end up together or they will meet their demise! We find that Mazzy is at her parents place with her nephew Cyrus and Beck is going crazy without her. The excitement continues as she tried to get back to Beck while getting her nephew away from her horrible parents! This book is full of drama and what ifs that make you wonder what you would do in that similar situation. Great ending to a great trilogy. So glad that I got a chance to read this for it was everything I was looking for.

What a fantastic read! All the characters are so well written you feel their pain, fear and hope.
Learning more about Mazzys upbringing and the hell she lived with, plus the insane betrayal she finds out in this, was staggering, but she's definitely far stronger than she gives herself credit for.
Beck grows a little more in this book; his willingness, well, kind of willingness to allow Mazzy to step into the unknown while trying to save her was rather endearing.
This is one of my favourite Mafia romances to date, with plenty of angst, trauma, lies and betrayals and a smidge of too-late redemption.

OMG such an amazing impact you get hit with in book three which typically isn’t the case by then. Mazzy continues to be with Silas her nephew while Beck finds a ways to get them both away from her parents. Mazzy is so strong dealing with all that she indures being in her parents home. Will Mazzy find her happy ever after with Silas and Beck or will she lose to her parents? That is the question that you have to find out by reading because I am not gonna give you any more to this series. So buckle up and enjoy the roller coaster ride because Christina doesn’t disappoint.

OMG MY HEART IS SO FULL RIGHT NOW! Beck and Mazzy have been through so much in life and then so much while finding their way in love and how to be together. The things Mazzy discovers about her past are haunting and something no one should have to go through but beck makes things so different and for the better. I absoutly love his their story ends. This book was everything we needed in this series and was full of every emotion you could think of. Absoutly loved it and devoured it as quick as I could.

I loved this! It's the conclusion for this trilogy & is Beck & Mazzy's story. There's so much that happens here. Mazzy made some choices that she felt she needed too & it was a hard road for her to navigate. But Beck wasn't about to give up on her & did what he could to rescue her. I'm so glad justice was served all around, there are so many secrets that come out & the stuff she finds out about her parents' choices & actions was crazy! Her nephew is so awesome! The storyline was great & the spice was fantastic! Highly recommend this trilogy & author!!

Great series.
This was the conclusion of their story. Mazzy and Beck were put through a lot in this one. Especially Mazzy. She made a deal with her parents to save Beck. She had to move back in with her parents. She wasn’t happy about it but she got some surprising news when she got there. She fought hard to make it through as tough as it was. She was able to get back with Beck for a few weeks and it was amazing but her life changed again because she had to go back to her parent’s house. I love her and beck’s story.

Beautiful Destruction is the fantastic final part of Beck and Mazzy's journey. Although this book was quite intense and Mazzy, again, went through hades and back, this author gave these characters such a fitting ending. This entire series has been a ride I won't soon forget. These characters and their story are brought to life in such a way that readers can connect with and feel all that they feel. The Collateral Destruction Trilogy is an absolute must read series!

Picks with Mazzy and Beck still apart. Both still reeling from the manipulation of her patents especially her mother. No spoiling but I dont think I have ever disliked a mother as much as hers at least not in a long time. What these two and Lil man Cyrus went through was definitely destructive. While it was a happy ending I was expecting something more. At any rate finally something good for this trio.
May 15, 2025
This was such an incredible finish to this series! I’ve loved Beck and Mazzy since book 1, and this book wrapped up their story perfectly. It was filled with action, so many twists and turns, and plenty of spice. I’m sad to see these characters and this series end, but I’m excited for what this author brings us next! Highly recommended!!

Wowzer
This book gets you right in the feels. From basically being held captive to being starved to the other abuses that happen from your own family. Is just horrid. There is so much that happens and as usual Christina keeps you hanging on by the skin of your teeth. This was a fantastic read. You must experience for yourself.

This was a great ending to the trilogy. It was full of twists and turns and had a lot of action going on. I really enjoyed watching how strong mazzy became during this whole series and how much she cares for others. The romance was good and the spice was good.

This was a great ending to the trilogy! I still loved Beck and Mazzy together, though I definitely felt Beck’s frustration with her at times and I loved that. I knew her parents were awful, but I wasn’t prepared for just how terrible they really were to Mazzy and her sister. Especially her mother! In the end, everyone got what they deserved, and I absolutely loved it!
