Mafia Queen

At the age of 25, Elisabeth Manning lost everything. Her parents had been killed, her sister had disappeared, and her fiancée had decided to trade her in for a different model. She thought her life was over. She was wrong.
Dakota Jackson had worked for Lis’ father for the past ten years and knew the in’s and out’s of the business better than everyone, but when his boss is murdered he finds himself in a situation he never thought possible.
Now, Lis is in charge of her father’s territory, but, for her own safety, no one can know. As Lis and Dakota search for her missing sister, they discover more than they bargained for, and have to make a choice.

Gripping...
Not only fast paced, well written, and believable, the story itself is an emotional ride through the underworld of organized crime. Steamy where necessary, and perhaps a bit more, life and love in a criminal family setting had me unable to put it down. Can't wait for the next one!

A little to vilent and a lot of fifty shades. I hope the rest of the series are better.

Needing a badass woman in your life?!!! Look no further!!!! Mafia Queen by Christina Escue was more than I expected and I can't get enough. Elisabeth Manning goes from spoiled rich girl(or at least that's what people think she is), to a woman you wouldn't want to piss off!!! She's sassy. She's ballsy. She a killer Queen!!!! I cannot wait for the next installment of this series. If the next book is half as good as this one, I'll be nose deep in my kindle and won't return until I have finished the book!! Thank you, Christina!

I was very intrigued by this story from the beginning. I enjoyed the characters and the overall plot of the book. There was a constant guessing game of who was on which side of the war and who was next to betray the Manning Family. The one thing I didn't like was how fast the story went. There was a lot of room to dive deeper into the plot and characters.
