I loved this series amd what a way to end it. I always loved Angelo during this series which I was happy about his book. You will enjoy reading Angelo and Mallory story because not like everyone else. Mallory didn't grow up in the life like Angelo did. It took him few years to figure out he needed her in his life. This book plays with your heart string too.. Must read💗💗💗

The last in the A Deluca Family Novel series with Fracture...long awaited and worth it. In all honesty I am gobsmacked as to what to say about this book. Nothing that you expect will happen does, everything get thrown in the air, tossed around and put back together. Mischief, mayhem, secrets coming to light, betrayal and lies and loyalties will be tested. Wasn't sure I would survive this book, the extremes that these characters go to had me screaming and wanting to throw my kindle and yet I kept turning the pages to find out what would happen next.
This book is about Angelo and Mallory for whom we have come to love throughout the last books. Wanting to know what Angelo's story would be and if he could get his own love match - this was tested many times by the times he almost got killed in several books! Who knew he'd actually make it to the last one.
The twists, turns and hairpin spins that you are put through are truly worth it. You will love it from start to finish. This is an epic way to bring everything to a close. Sad to see it end since I love all of these characters but this was well planned out and done in such a way that you don't leave feeling disappointed. Book hangover maybe but worth it indeed.

SENSATIONAL!!! I'm blown away with this series. Each book in the DeLuca Crime Family has been incredible. Fracture is Angelo and Mallory's story. Everyone has secrets and Angelo Moretti is keeping a big one. Being a part of the DeLuca crime family, he knows that people don't just get hurt around him, they die. That's just the way it is. Mallory is a smart, beautiful soul that has managed to become the DeLuca's personal forensic analyst because she just can't seem to tell Angelo no. Fracture takes us on their journey from the beginning. We learn why Angelo is so adamant about keeping his secrets safe and the sacrifices he continues to make to keep them that way. He knows that Mallory doesn't belong in his world, but he just can't quite seem to let her go. But what happens when the wrong people find out what you're hiding? In the DeLuca family it can only mean death. This story had a few surprising twists that kept me on my toes. Once again KA had me glued to my Kindle. I absolutely loved it.

What ... did I just read? Fracture didn't let me go! Book hangover alert.
Hot, fast-paced, and addictive, I DEVOURED K.A. Ware's Book Five of the Deluca Family. I loved Mallory and Angelo's, coming together, after burning so long for each other with Angelo not quite ready to IGNITE and UNITE them, being the over-protective alpha boss of a man he is. And while Mallory is not a delicate flower (and I love that about her!), Angelo leads a dangerous life and doesn't want this woman his heart wants but his mind refuses ... to get caught up in the ugly of his world. Angelo and Mallory's HEAT was incredible and even with all the crazy going down, how much love there was to be found between these two as the powerful Mafia family faced ugly Fracture was very well done. I loved their depth! An amazing story, an amazing series! K. A. Ware pulls you into a dark, sexy, dangerous world, and there is NO escape! My attention is not easily held, yet I was hooked on every delicious word like some kinda addict until the very end. I'm f*&king impressed!

K.A. Ware creates a masterpiece that I couldn't put down. I fell in love with this series from the beginning and each book magically becomes even better. I have waited for Angelo and Mallory's story and it exceeded my already high expectations.
This book delivers an emotional journey unlike any other. It left me breathless and kept me guessing until the end. The hardest part was realizing when it ended because it was so amazing I didn't want it to finish.
As always, the author delivers phenomenal character development, not just for the main characters but expanding the secondary characters as well. K.A. Ware knows exactly how to deliver strong characters, exactly what I need in this genre. The world building continues to be meticulous and so convincing it helped create that heart-pounding need for more. The author also successfully uses time changes to enhance the story instead of detract from it.
5 stars for a breathless emotional journey I never wanted to end! Highly recommend!

Wow! Just wow! I eagerly awaited the release of Fracture after reading the other books in the Deluca Series, and boy this doesn’t disappoint! It blew me away! The story of Angelo and Mallory is just heart melting. Angelo and Mallory met many years ago, and she has become an ally to the Deluca family. But Angelo and Mallory have a secret no one knows about. While they can’t seem to stay together, they also can’t stay apart from each other. An event takes place that unwittingly brings them together, but does their relationship stand the test?! This series is by far one of my favorite Mafia series and this latest book proves why. The characters just jump off the pages at you and their chemistry is smoking hot! Do yourself a favor and read this book! Read the entire series! Just utterly amazing!

Fracture is book 5 in The DeLuca Family series and although I'm a bit sad that this is the last book in this series I look forward to reading whatever this author comes up with next. KA Ware has created an amazing world of mafia, loyalty, family and love while allowing the reader to live with the characters if only just for a little while. I was so excited to read Angelo's story and it was definitely worth the wait. Mallory is perfect for Angelo, she brings out his gentle side and made him a better man. Not only is this a well written book the characters are well developed and believable and what an unexpected ending! I loved reading this series and I definitely recommend this book and the whole series to anyone looking for an amazing read.

The DeLuca family is built on family and loyalty. Angelo carries a huge secret, one filled with lies. But, will this secret rip him apart and tear down the walls he's put in place to protect everyone that matters to him?
As I read I kept guessing what would happen next and when I thought I had it figured out I'd find out I was wrong. I kept turning the pages just to find out what happened next. I was left screaming at the characters while wanting to throw my kindle. KA Ware had my heart breaking for Angelo and Mallory, seeing the store she was unfolding for these characters. This book is definitely one I'd recommend but only after reading the previous ones.

That ending took me by surprise!!
This is the 4th book in the series and you really need to read the others to have a better understanding of the characters. In this fourth book we have the main characters of Angelo and Mallory. In the first half of the book we find out about Mallory and the secret that Angelo has been keeping. The second part of the book is when the real trouble begins. One of the things that I love about all these books is the female lead characters turn off strong but yeah quirky in their own way. Even though we have strong female leads the manor still all Alphas. I really enjoyed this book but the ending is by far my favorite.

Fracture, the fifth book of the DeLuca Family Series was everything I expected and so much more. In the dark world of the mafia Angelo and Mallory both carry a secret. Will this secret tear them apart or will it get them killed?
This book had me on the edge of my seat with my heart skipping beats. Do yourself a favor and read this wonderfully written book, even better read the complete series.

Absolutely love this series! I'm saddened its conclusion but WOW what a way to end. I was truly captivated by Angelo and Mallory, who are intense, caring, and who both hide from their true emotions. Angelo and Mallory met a long time ago, but Angelo refuses to bring her into his life, yet Mallory is an asset to their family protecting them whenever she can. I most definitely will have to read this book and everyone of them in the series again and again they are just that good.

I have WAITED anxiously for Angelo's story and it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!
Full of angst and suspense we are thrust back into the DeLuca family and all of their issues!!
I loved catching up with the whole family and I loved the twists and turns K.A Ware throws at us and tosses our worlds upside down!!

Good book. Kinda disappointed with the lack of action. there was ONE shootout. not very climatic for the end of the series...😒 the back and forth in time was really irritating in the first half of the book. 🤷🏾♀️
these two were my favorite characters. i just wish the author had come up with a better climax for the story and a better villain 🤷🏾♀️

I feel like I have waited forever for this book! I wasn't disappointed. I love everything about the DeLuca family and Angelo in particular and of course Mallory. There were definitely twist and turns in here that I did not see coming!

OMG!!! This book is the Finishing Touch to life!!! And I couldn't have hoped for a better finale to the DeLuca series if I had wrote it myself! it had all the twists and turns that I have coming to love from this writer and it makes my heart Happy how the story played out!!💜💜

FINALLY!
As much as I hate to see this series end, I absolutely loved how it all linked so well in this last book. We've all been dying for Angelo and Mallorys story and WE GOT IT! Whew! The thrill! The suspense! I just couldn't read fast enough! This series is by far one of the best I've ever read and I absolutely suggest everyone read it --- And I do, to everyone I talk to ;)
**5 STARS**

Amazing!
I love Angelo and Mallorys story. This goes back to how they met and what the deal is between them that you read in the other books in this series.
Absolutely loved this whole series. Can't wait to see what is next.

I love a good mafia book & this one is a must read! The choices Angelo has to make will have you hanging on the edge of your seat! Such an emotional ride.

it was ok, I just don't like the back and forth from present day to past years.

Oh my why on earth have I left this book on my TBR list for such a long time ......great addition to the series

Angelo tries so hard to keep his two lives separate, not because it's what he wants but what he believes needs to happen. What happens when the two worlds collide?!? I really enjoyed this series.

Book five in the DeLuca Family series, Fracture, was everything I anticipated plus so much more. Angelo is the epitome of mafia and everything it stands for. He's dominating, hardened and experienced in this dark and cruel world. He is protective and fiercely loyal to his family. He's had to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to protect them. Mallory is strong, beautiful, independent and on the DeLuca payroll. Angelo knows that she doesn't belong in his world yet he can stay away. They've know each other for years and each hold a secret that could end in death if it were to ever come to light. Can these two withstand the challenges facing them? Does betrayal destroy their love? Do they get their happily ever after and is there even such a thing in this gritty world of the mafia? This book was extremely well written with the perfect amount of ugly and dirty, sexy and arousing that the reader expects in a suspenseful romance. I highly recommend not only reading this book, but the entire DeLuca Family series. Let this author's words take you into the intensely dark and sexy hot world of the mafia.
