Hit It Deep

Rate this book
Lust is hard. Love is DEEP.

I’m hard as a f*cking rock.

Tough as nails. Cold-blooded. Arrogant as hell, with a ripped set of abs women can’t help but drool over. Yeah, that’s me. Hunter Scapoli.

I knew the Luciotti Family would come for me eventually. They don’t deal with snitches, and that’s the lie that’s going around. They thought they could take me alive. They were very wrong. Now I’m taking them out, one by one.

Only problem is her. Bianca Luciotti. When I see her, I can’t control myself. I go insane. Her mouth makes my temper flare -- but her curvy figure makes my c*ck nearly explode. I have to have her, if it’s the last thing I do.

When I ask for something, I get it. No questions asked. Only... this is the Luciotti girl we’re talking about. Her family wants me dead. There’s no way this is going to end with sunshine and roses.

I f*cking need her, even if it means losing my life. I’m going to give her everything she’s ever dreamed of. Every touch, every kiss, every inch of me.

**Hit It Deep is a standalone bad boy romance novel, a HEA and absolutely NO CLIFFHANGERS!**

I received this ARC book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

Holey.....wonder!

Hunter is taking crime families off the grid, and that is due to the fact these crime family boss' sold him out. He is a "ghost" who is seeking his revenge. He never intended on seeing/finding Biana. Considering she belonged to the family of the biggest rat in the Detroit area. He is at her grandfather's funeral (of all places) and spots her. Now it is game on. She may play hard to get but Hunter is still drawn to her and her spunk.

Bianca, at her grandfather's funeral is hit on (once again) by her cousin Ricky (who to put it mildly and clean, is a complete pig!) and she starts the same old fight, men in the mafia vs women in the mafia....yada yada (would be coming from Bianca with an eye roll for good measure.) She is so tired of this, and she is creeped out beyond everything because of Ricky hitting on her and his snarky way around her. Then as she is leaving the after funeral meet and eat, she sees this man. At first she thinks he is going to be after her for mouthing off to the leader of the crime families. She soon realizes his look is far from innocent and far from coming to get rid of her. Oh no, that look she is getting is pure, unyielding, unadulterated lust.....and she likes it.

Hunter has been sold out and is living on the streets, literally. He is in an abandoned warehouse, trying his best to stay off the grid, all while killing off the men who wronged him. Now he is at the after funeral gathering, when he spots her. She is a fighter and she is spunky and he is hopelessly smitten....what has come over him. He goes to a strip club, rents a room and a girl, and seriously he leaves without partaking. He can't get her off his mind. So now he is going to win her over. He just didn't realize that he was being won over and he didn't realize it. Is he going soft? What good can come of this relationship?

Bianca can't get over her cousin Ricky, the dumb creep, hitting on her and then pushing the very old school ways to her. How dare he do this at her grandfather's after funeral gathering? Selfish jerk, and then as she is storming out of there to go to her room, she spots this mysterious man, and she is like a moth to a flame....drawn in and unable to break the hold. She can't seem to get him off her mind, and now she is going to a club with her friend to put all of this behind her before going back to school (college) in another week or so. He is there and he is not taking no for an answer, she plays hard to get, and he is snarky in return.

Can they solve all the issues that are thrown at them? Do they banter but that is all? Are there tugs at the heart strings for these two? I will answer the last one, in the twist of this book, there is a tugging at the heart strings, and you will never guess who it shows up for first....not to mention their chemistry is off the charts. Love it.

Please read Kara's newest book, you will really love it too.

This is the second book in this mafia series, and what a wonderful series it is.
Bianca returns home for her grandfather’s funeral, but she detests her family’s mafia ties. All she wants is to get the funeral over with and return to college. Hunter is a sexy, hot, vulnerable loner, who is out for revenge. These two have an intense and instant connection between them, but will they have a HEA? You really need to read these stories for yourself!
This storyline is full of action, drama, twists and turns, as well as love. I adore Kara’s books, and recommend her work for all. Cannot wait to read whatever she brings to us next.

Hit It Deep by Kara Hart is an outstanding bad boy mafia romance with a great mix of revenge, betrayal, the mafia, drama, danger, twists and turns, an all-consuming attraction, an arrogant, hot, sexy bad boy, a feisty woman, lust, second chances, love, and a HEA. Ms. Hart weaves a fast-paced story with plenty of action, a great plot that kept me wanting to read more, and characters that you can't help but love. This book does not disappoint!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Time....that's what Hunter Scapoli is living on, borrowed time. Time to sort things out to get revenge on the people who betrayed him. Then meeting her.... Bianca Luciotti changes her. It gives him time to think things through. At her grandfathers funeral, she sees someone staring at her...who is he... but it is Hunter. She hates coming home but time dictates to do the right thing. A story of loner Hunter, trying to do the right thing and now having hopes, dreams and something more in life. Hopefully more with Bianca. A fast paced, gritty drama and my heart went out to Hunter. The chase of keeping alive against Bianca's cousin Ricky who wants to be in charge. Lots of twists and turns and hope coming in the most unexpected of places. Loved it.

This book is an action packed and drama filled bad boy romance. It's rough just like they like it and sweet in a way neither one can control. I couldn't put this book down until I was finished, it has a great storyline that keeps you interested

Firstly this book had some hot ass sex scenes! The author did a great job with those but I didn’t feel the story was believable so that’s why my rating was lower. The hero’s actions just didn’t add up and it felt like their relationship was built off of sex.

I enjoyed this story. I would say that it was about a 3.5 star book. At some points in the story I had a bit of a disconnect with the characters. They were good and I liked them but some of the things they did just seemed to change/happen too fast for it to completely fit for me. Bianca is part of the Luciotti crime family but she hates the life. She thinks it's stupid and doesn't get the appeal. Her father has gone legitimate, no longer a made man or really working for the family anymore but her brother wants to be a part of it. Bianca is tired of everyone pulling out their guns and shooting. Hunter was betrayed by the different families in power and they all think he's dead. Instead, he is laying low and taking them out, one by one, for revenge. He runs into Bianca while doing so, as 2 of the people on his list are part of teh Luciotti family. Theya re both immediately drawn to each other and Hunter has no problem pursuing her. He doesn't know how long he'll live and so is living every day like it might be his last. Bianca on the other hand struggles with the attraction and staying away from him. She isn't stupid and knows that he had something to do with the first killing at her grandfather's furneral but she didn't like that guy and so isn't super upset about it. Hunter and Bianca start interacting and they quickly head to sexual territory. Bianca has a hard time making up her mind though on whether or not they are going to be "just friends" or if they are going the sex route. There is a lot of sexual chemistry between them so it usually doesn't last long but Hunter doesn't have to do much seduction before she gives in. Hunter is still on his revenge kick for majority of the story and Bianca has a hard time accepting/adjusting to that. There's action, a little intrigue and a few twists in this story. I felt some disconnect in a couple of parts but it wasn't enough that I stopped reading or felt the need to. Overall, I enjoyed the story, it just wasn't one of my favorites.

Bianca first spots Hunter at her Granddads funeral he looks out of place but why? She sees him a few times but keeps quiet the attraction is intense. She's part of the luciotti family & hunter is set to wipe out people who betrayed him including Ricky her cousin who is obsessed with her!
Will they get a life together? Read it & see.
I was given a copy of this book for my honest opinion & I would recommend it.

Arc copy for an honest review
Crime lords being killed off, everyone is on guard. Is the hunter going to become the hunted?
Well his name is Hunter, he is ripped, hot and a bit arrogant, most of all he is vulnerable and alone. I felt for him, he was pretty much forced into the mob life through no fault of his own. Not knowing what happened to his parents when young, left to fend for himself.
Bianca hates being a part of a mob family, all she wants is to become a lawyer but not to work for the family. She would prefer to help others, but her brother and her cousin have other ideas.
Although violence and killing are talked about and happen in this story it is more of a mention, there is nothing graphic. The sex on the other hand is. On occasion it comes across as though Hunter and Bianca have known each other for years, as well as being involved a long time in actual fact this takes place over just a few weeks. But hours sound like days and days like months. This doesn’t spoil the story but it can leave you thinking you missed something which of course you haven’t. It is a good story of a very quick attraction turning very fast into much much more, but fighting it because you know it wont be accepted by others. There is a surprising twist towards the end which I was extremely pleased about. Kara is a good author who manages to suck you right into the story and keep you there to the end, and they are mostly down to earth believable tales. You can picture the mob heavies behaving in this way, being ruthless and doing the necessary, coveting what they know is wrong.
Worth reading.

What happens when a wanted man, a deadly hit man, a ghost in the shadows falls for one of his enemies girls? One hell of a story. Hunter is in hiding. Everyone thinks that he is dead, left for dead by his so called friends. What his enemies don't know is that he survived and he is out for blood, for revenge. The five families are going to pay for turning on him, and they are not going to even know what hit them. Hunter is all consumed with his revenge until the hot Italian beauty with the tight ass, perky boobs, silky hair and golden skin consumes his world. He has to have her at any cost, even his own life.
Bianca is content with the life she leads in California. Away from the drama of her mafia family, she focuses on her schooling and work. There is no time for dating or a relationship. When Bianca has to return to Detroit for the funeral of her grandfather she is reminded why she left in the first place. Her family and neighborhood mafia ties drive her insane. What she least expects is the mysterious hottie, with the slicked back hair, impeccable suits and insane body capturing her every thought and invading her dreams.
Hunter and Bianca's relationship is insane. Both curious of the other, they risk so much to discover their attraction. What they least expect is to fall in love. Danger lurks all around them and Bianca and Hunter have to make some heart wrenching decisions. Can a wanted hit man and a girl from one of the five mafia families make it work? Can they have a happily ever after?
Hit It Deep is a story filled with risks, revenge, danger, drama, lust, second chances and love.

Hunter was well up there in the crime world. Ready to take over, until everything was turned upside down on him and they turned on him. Left for dead after a barrage of bullets, he managed to get away but to what means, to live in the shadows until the day he can take
his revenge out on the lot of them. He would take them down one by one. Then one day he came across a beauty names Bianca. She was feisty and sexy and someone he should not want to spend his time with. She was the daughter of part of a crime family. At firs the just wanted to be with her when he could. They were just having fun right?? She was only there for a visit, due to return to school so of course this was not something that could be permanent but the more he saw of her the more he came invested in her and she was feeling the same way. How could they possibly be together, it just wouldn't work. He couldn't even be seen in public because of his past. Well sometimes when you just don't expect it, things can go in your direction. This is the second book in the Luciotti Crime Family Series.

Bianca is home because her grandfather was killed and she is attending his funeral.. When your family is in the business hers is it's just a matter of time that you will be attending the funerals of your family members. The family business is always been kill or be killed and now is no different.But at the after party Bianca notices someone shes never seen before and is curious about him. When she gets to her bedroom to think a little more she suddenly hears a couple pops outside like a tire popping and now she has another funeral to attend. When will it ever end? She remembers why she went to the other side of the country to study law, to get away from all of this. Now she is home and has to deal with all again. Bianca doesn't know who that guy is that she saw but she is pretty sure he's who killed her grandfathers friend. Now she is denying seeing anyone to the family Don. And to make things worse she keeps seeing this guy outside her house or where ever she happens to be.. Who is he?

This is a interesting and intriguing book to read and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The story covers a feisty defiant woman who is studying to become a lawyer (Bianca). a brother who seems to be a drama queen but has ambitions unbeknown to the family (Giovanni), a cousin who wants to get into her pants (Ricky), a friend who has undetermined motives (Teresa), a arrogant man betrayed who is now after revenge (Hunter Spapoli). What you will find in this story is drama, intrigue, suspense, action, a mafia crime family, Irish gang, drugs, guns blazing, hits/murders, betrayals, revenge, stalker like actions, a funeral, strip club, a plan, removal of a Don, a New Don, lust, emotional feelings, love and erotic scenes. The story-line and plot is well thought out and written, the pace is steady and not rushed. The characters have needs and desires according to their personality. I would recommend this book to people that like to read a well written bad boy mafia romance with a HEA.

Hunter lives like a homeless man, a ghost hidden in the shadows. The gang life is all he has ever known and in his younger days it was exciting. But now he sees the reality, feels regret for his actions and longs to live a "normal" life. Instead, he is gripped by the desire for vengeance, for justice and he quietly stalks the murderers in the five ruling crime families. Then he meets Bianca and her influence begins to change his beliefs, changes his perspective on life and hope begins to grow in his heart. Reading his thoughts as well as her thoughts, one is captured by the deep goodness that lies dormant in Hunter's heart. The transformation from Hitman to Hero is well written and entertaining to this Mafia loving reader. I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review. Four Stars.

I read a lot of books by Kara Hart, and usually love them. Hit It Deep--not so much. It seemed to take forever to get from the start to the Epilogue.

Don't get me wrong...the story has all the key elements of a mafia family; I.e. turf wars, punishment, killing off the other families, etc. Plus a romance between two unlikely people, Bianca and Hunter.

Hit It Deep is a good story, and you should read it for yourself. Not all books will garner the same praise from everyone all the time. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

It amazes me how great this book is, I love Ms. Hart's writing, she pulls you into their world. You feel the love and pain between the people. This is not just another mob story it is more it has a heartbeat.
Born into a mob family Bianca, has nothing but a disgust for the business. She wants More out of life. A lawyer for the good, so she is going to school to do just that, little did she know Hunter would come into her life and shake everything inside her. This book was amazing! Five Stars!

He is bent on revenge but she changes the direction of his focus. She hates the family business and tries to keep her distance. When these two meet, you know it will be a fun ride.

I love a good mafia romance and this one delivers with great characters and intense chemistry. It is a fast moving story that definitely kept my interest. I like that Bianca is a woman who knows what she wants and wants her independence from her family. Hunter is the tough guy that doesn't love easily but when he does it is real.

I liked this story. Hunter the H is alpha, mob Hitman and on the run. The mob thinks he is a rat because he was dating a stripper that was really an undercover FBI agent. So now his "family is out to get him. Bianca the h is a mob princess who is studying to be a lawyer and wants nothing to do with the family business. Hunter and Bianca come together with hot attraction. Can Bianca end up with a ex mob hitman? Can Hunter free himself without swimming with the fish?? Well check out Hit it a Deep. Happy Reading

Bianca hates the life of her family because of all the death and destruction.
Hunter was on his way to being a kingpin until it was all taken away. He is determined that each member must die.
These two quickly become involved in a secret relationship that turns into a beautiful love.
When Hunter decides that he is done and just wants a life with Bianca, he takes a step that will either leave him free or dead.

Excellent writing with a storyline that will leave you breathless.

Hunter was once in the mob but now he is on the run and wants revenge on everyone who turned on him. Hunter sees Bianca at her family's house and can't seem to get her out of his head. Bianca & Hunter grow closer together but knows it can never go anywhere with Hunter being hunted. Will they be able to be together?

Seriously terrible

This was terrible book. The writing was simple at best. Hunter was kind of gross and a manwhore and Bianca was just as gross. She's opinionated and foul mouthed for someone who wants to be a lawyer. Its supposed to be a mafia story but it was just too simple. Not worth the time or money

What I didn't like about this book was the inconsistencies.
