Fractured Legacy

by Mandi Lucille

Kiana

Freedom always comes at a cost.

For me, that cost was the Alessandro brothers - especially the oldest one. I’ve spent my entire life hidden, trapped behind my father’s walls built on secrets and control. Then Easton Alessandro came out of the shadows with an offer I couldn’t help him and his brothers take my father down. In return, he’ll give me the freedom I’ve been craving. The problem is that freedom should have been the only thing I wanted.

Until Easton.

Easton

My brothers and I spent our entire lives clearing criminals from the streets of Manhattan. This mission shouldn’t have been any different. Then Kiana Rivera showed up. She’s stubborn, reckless, and nothing but a distraction. And the worst part? My enemy’s blood runs through her veins.

The closer I get to the brunette, the harder it is to separate her from her family’s legacy.

A true page turner!!! I never knew what was coming next- the twist and turns the characters take you on had me wanting more and I just couldn’t put this one down. The elements of the plot and content fit the genre so well but Mandi keeps it light and fun making it an easy and exciting read. I’m eager for more! Bravo, Mandi 👏🏼

Alexa, play "Siren Sounds" by Tate McRae.
"Obsessed" doesn't even begin to describe how this book made me feel. My jaw was constantly on the floor and my heart was always racing. I'm very picky when it comes to dark romance and this book did not disappoint! The plot was fun and exciting and quite easy to follow. The characters were all unique and entertaining---Noah is definitely my favorite, hehehe. I don't want to say too much without spoiling but just know, that if you love thrilling mafia stories, you'll LOVE this!
Thank you so much to the talented Mandi Lucille for the arc! I can't wait for the next book in the series!

When I tell you I couldn’t put it down! I read the whole book in a day, even while working (haha). Mandi’s storytelling is impeccable. You can really picture every scene she paints for you. All I can say is I can’t wait for her next one!

Now I might be a little biased here as my one of my besties wrote this book. But let me tell you, this was amazingly beautiful. I feel so lucky that I got an ARC copy of this. There is nothing I love more than a mafia romance AND FBI????? Like hello, that’s right up my alley. Mandi did an absolutely amazing job with this story. The character development was impeccable. The plot line was insane. And this is coming from someone who barely reads romance. So that’s how you know it was a fabulous book.

Advanced Reader Copy Review:

This book is always going to sit extremely near and dear to my heart because it was written by my (EXTREMELY talented) former student of mine. 🥹 Mandi is such an incredible storyteller. She does such a great job with the character development of Kiana and the Alessandro brothers, so much so that I’m already hoping she writes another book that centers around each of the different brothers. Her storytelling and attention to detail made this impossible to put down.

Proud of you always Mandi. 🤍

I could not put this book down! I love romance books so this was right up my alley. But a mafia AND FBI book!?! Mandi you did such a great job with this book! And let me just tell you I’m obsessed with Jax 👀👀. The whole plot line was insanely good! I love Ethan and Kianas story!! And let me just shout out my best friend for offically writing a book 😭, Mandi I’m so freaking proud of you and I’m glad I got to be one of your Arc readers!

Fractured Legacy, Mandi Lucille’s debut novel is impossible to put down. Each chapter leads you down a carefully curated path that dives into the complex relationship between the Alessandro brothers and Kiana, a daughter born into the mafia. As someone who finds themselves getting into reading slumps, this book certainly got me out of the slump. I read the book in only a few days! After completing this book, I am looking forward to Mandi’s future books!

I absolutely loved the storyline and getting to know these characters ! There were some parts that felt slightly rushed but I overall enjoyed the fast paced nature of the book making me want to keep reading.

I absolutely loved this book. It drew me in right from the beginning. A great Mafia romance story with lots of mystery and a great plot line! I would definitely read it again.

First and foremost,
I am so proud of my friend for writing a publishing her first novel!
note- dark romance is not my typical genre of choice which affected the way I read the book.
Although I would have preferred a little more build up in the beginning, I was hooked by chapter 25 and struggled to put it down after that!
Kiana comes so far in this novel and I loved her character development. Easton is truly the dream man - a touch her and I’ll kill you typa guy. The relationship between them is truly beautiful and I loveddddd the epilogue :)
