So this might have been a really good story. A bit too much angst, but still the good bad guys win over the bad bad guys.
But the writing is weak and the editing is worse. I finished the first story, but won't continue.
Someone let me know if this ever gets cleaned up.

Read the first, skipped to the epilogue of the second, couldn't bring myself to care about the rest. The writing style is weird, almost juvenile.
June 21, 2019
I always start out by saying that I'm HUGE fan of the brilliant Janine Infante Bosco, because frankly, I don't think that she can hear it enough, so while I've read everything that she releases, when I heard that there were some extra chapters in The Tempted Series: Collectors Edition, well, I may or may not danced it out like a fool! Plus, OH MY HELL, all of these amazing books in one place?! Yeah, I read them over again just because! So without further ado, I'll post my reviews for each book!
1. Illicit Temptations
Michael Valentine's father was the Underboss of an organized crime family. He lost his life to the mob, and Michael's mother died in a tragic accident, and now his life in shambles. Victor Pastore picked him up out of the rubble his life had become, and started to train him up. Victor was Michael's father's best friend, so he expects Michael to follow in his father's footsteps, only to become bigger. However, he remembers his mother's wishes to walk the straight and narrow path, so Michael struggles big time. He's taken back to New York where he comes face to face with the grown up Nikki Pastore, who he feels an instant attraction to. But she's off limits, even though she shines light into his dark existence. Nikki Pastore is the daughter of a gangster, and the girlfriend of the reigning king of the NY Club scene. Not many people get to know the real her, as they only pay attention her for the men in her life. One person knows her for her, Mikey, but she doesn't believe he's an option. Will Michael and Nikki be able to keep their feelings from growing stronger, or will they sacrifice everything for a chance at forever love?!
It's funny how I've read this whole series except this first book. So very glad that I did, indeed, go back and finally read it, as I LOVED LOVED LOVED it every bit as much as the others. The character development is fantastic, with a colorful cast of secondaries that kept me on my toes. The struggle Nikki and Michael had exploring their feelings, and deciding what they wanted in life, was painful, and realistic to me. I actually felt physically depressed for them, and may or may not have had an eye leak. But besides the high angst level, there was some extremely well placed humor (Aunt Gina, and Nana antics) that had me laughing until my stomach hurt. Janine Infante Bosco has a brilliant writing style that I will never get enough of, and she never fails to grab me from the first paragraph, while holding me hostage to the very last word. Her diabolical twists and turns kept my heart racing cover to cover, with f-bombs raining everywhere. The Tempted Series has become one of my all time favorite series, so I can only imagine what she's come up with next, so I can't HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Illicit Temptations enough!
2. Forbidden Temptations
Anthony Bianci has wanted to be a gangster since he was young. He wanted to be known, and feared, until she came into his life. The love he felt for her took away the desire to be powerful. Then her father, his boss, destroyed it all. Adrianna Pastore has wanted Anthony since she first saw him. Her heart was destroyed when her father ruined everything and tore Anthony from her. Anthony walked away and Adrianna never got over him. Now he's back, and she realizes that she still wants to fight for him, but will he ever help her fight for them?
This is a very interesting book. Character development is good, with a well written, exciting storyline that flows well. The sexy scenes are SMOKING HOT, and the angst made it hard to breathe. Twists and turns are all over the place, and the author did a great job keeping me guessing, on top of my heart racing the whole time. My one issue is that I feel that I haven't gotten all the answers so I'm still a bit confused. Overall, a great book that I happily recommend!
3. Uncontrollable Temptations
I LOVED LOVED LOVED EVERY minute of this amazing story! HOLY HELL BATMAN! I'm still jacked up the day after reading it. Jack "the Bulldog" Parrish is considered mentally deranged, especially after a tragic life event happened makes it more apparent. Even though he's the President of the Satan's Knights MC, the guilt he carries around still has long term issues. And with enemies all around him, this isn't a good thing to rear its ugly head. Reina DeCarlo is a lost, broken, and scarred woman after almost dying along side her boyfriend. As a shell of herself, she hides behind the baggy clothes, and a waitressing job, until the day Jack sets his sights on her. She becomes his sunshine, and he becomes her freedom, but will these two broken souls be able to help each other heal?
This story is a heart wrenchingly, and powerful emotional roller coaster ride that gutted me. The character development is perfect, with amazing secondaries that I hope that get their own stories in the very near future. A dark, gritty, and well written story line flows effortlessly, with the rawness factor making it very realistic. Janine Infante Bosco's super talented writing style made it nearly impossible to keep the tears at bay, and believe me, I didn't succeed as my eyes leaked more than once. She gets my attention from the very beginning, keeps me all in, and I was upset to leave her brilliant world on the last page. Twists and turns kept me on my toes, SCORCHIN' HOT sexy scene goodness to melt panties, and hilarious bikers round out this beautiful second chance story. Needless to say, I absolutely HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
4. Reckless Temptations
Each book in this series has made me emotional, but Reckless Temptations brought me to my knees. And so I have permanently put Janine Infante Bosco on the list of authors trying to KILL ME! Riggs is a computer genius, and prospect for the Satan's Knights MC. He's completely happy with his bike, the open road, and a different woman each night. When he meets Lauren, his simple life is forever changed. Lauren Bianci has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She's hiding the fact that she dropped out of nursing school from her family, as she's always been the good girl who does everything right. The night she meets Riggs, is the start of her detour journey. She decides to move out of her safe zone by showing up to his patched in party at the club, and has crazy sex with him against the wall. But when she doesn't hear from him again, she's not happy, especially when she needs to tell him her secret. Will Riggs man up and own it, or will he run?
Riggs is his own special brand of hot biker. I spent the majority of the book conflicted as to whether I wanted to choke him out, or hug him. The character development is fantastic, with stellar secondaries that I can't help but love as much. An action packed, emotionally charged, and extremely well written storyline flows perfectly. OMG the hilarious well placed humor (especially Lauren's mother) had me very close to wetting my pants from laughing so hard, and the flammable chemistry EXPLODES into SCORCHIN' HOT sexy scene goodness. Janine Infante Bosco's talented writing style does a brilliant job weaving together the twists & turns that had me on the edge of my seat, with my emotions all over the place making me cry. The dual POV made this story more heart wrenching, and I'm completely addicted these bikers. I cannot wait for the next book, so I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
5. Lethal Temptations
It's amazing to me to watch the AWESOME Tempted series keep getting better, when I didn't believe it was possible, but the author rises to new levels of epic in each new story. Blackie is the VP of the Satan's Knights MC, and a serious addict. He numbs himself with drugs to escape the demons that stalk him, almost hoping it all ends. Lately, he has found a new addiction, but this time it will destroy more than just him. Lacey Parrish has been hiding a big secret from everyone, that she's just like her dad, a manic depressive. No one truly sees past the fake shield to see the real her, but Blackie, and she has been harboring feelings for him for years. He's the only one who silences the destructive voice of her maker, but trying to get him to give them a real chance is an uphill battle. Will they be able to heal each other, or be destroyed for good?
My dramatic girly girl emotional switch was flipped from the very beginning, and I'm still trying to recover. The character development is fantastic, although it's painful in its realistic form. An entertaining cast of secondaries make for some great well placed humorous moments to let me take a breather from my intense emotions. The intense, realistic, and well written storyline flows perfectly. Simmering chemistry ignites into some amazing fiery flames of sexy scene goodness that I wanted more of, and the path to love isn't perfect but beautiful. Janine Infante Bosco does an amazing job writing about a subject that can be a controversial topic in the world today, with grace and empathy. Her brilliant twists and turns still has my head reeling, making for some seriously intense OMG moments, and I feel like there are still some monsters hiding in the shadows. I absolutely love this series, and I can't wait to read the next book! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book, series, and author!
6. Eternal Temptations
I finished the final ride yesterday, and been tortured on how to proceed with this bittersweet review. Of course, rocking in the corner, sucking my thumb for hours afterwards, didn't help. Yes, the ending has my dramatic girly girl emotions flying everywhere, so proceed with caution as emotional gushing will be taking over. My tortured soul is very conflicted, as on one hand, I couldn't wait to get Etermal Temptations in my hands, but on the other, I'M NOT READY FOR IT TO BE OVER! Janine Infante Bosco was added to the list of authors trying to kill me several books ago, as her brilliantly diabolical writing style takes over my reality completely, even after I'm finished reading. She has never failed to transport me into her amazing MC world, and so I now feel like I'm telling some of my best friends goodbye. Not to say, that this ending wasn't perfect, because it totally was, and these characters are etched on my heart forever. And that ending, well, let's just say, I have hope for the future (hint hint)!
In conclusion, if you haven't gone on this ride yet, then I don't know what the hell you're waiting for, as I have been, and will always be #PropertyofParrish!

The Tempted Series: Collectors Edition is a compilation of all books in the Tempted Series in addition to newly released chapters on each of your favorite couples in the series and a sneak peak at Janine's upcoming release.
Book 1 Illicit Temptations was a friend to lovers Mafia type romance. The plot was good with lots of action and I enjoyed reading about Mikey and Nikki's romance. All in all the story was good and held my attention until the end.
Book 2 Forbidden Temptations gave us Adrianna and Anthony story. It is a Mob/Mafia second chance novel. The storyline was interesting. I liked the multiple point of views and the present and the past scenes showing us Anthony and Adrianna's love from beginning to present day. OMG...these two suffered for year and it was heartbreaking however they never stopped loving each other. There was action, hot sex scenes and lots of heartache in this novel. It was a great read and I loved it.
Book 3 Uncontrollable Temptations is Jack (the President of the MC) and Reina's story and without a doubt one of my favorite couples in this series. They were both broken with scars and I loved how they both "fixed" each other. Apart from lots of actions and some violence, this novel has a touching romance and steamy sex scenes. The story touches on serious topics of Manic Depression and Drug use and had me hooked from start to finish. It was an excellent read.
Reckless Temptations book 4, was more that I expected and I was hooked from start to finish. It had Mafia, MC, gang wars, love,loss, romance, friendship, brotherhood, family and so much more. The story will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. There was non stop action and intense heartache. Riggs and Lauren were hot together, their steamy sex scenes were sizzling and their banter was amusing. It's the story that initially got me hooked on Janine Infante Boscoe's writing and you will absolutely love it
Lethal Temptation book 5 is the forbidden love story between Blackie (the Satan Knights VP) and Lacey (the Satan Knights President daughter). The romance between Blackie and Lacey was so touching. From the previous books we knew Blackie had demons however it was really emotional to learn about Lacey’s demons and my heart just ached for her and her father when he found out. This book had it all action, murder, hot sex, romance, brotherhood and even some wisdom. It deals with issues of Mental health, Grief and Addiction. This well written, emotional novel was a great read.
This is a must have collection as you will love every book in this series. The author knows how to write stories that you will love long after you have finished reading the novel. This is a must read for all lovers of Mafia/MC romances.

They were both broken with scars and I loved how they both "fixed" each other. Apart from lots of actions and some violence, this novel has a touching romance and steamy sex scenes. The story touches on serious topics of Manic Depression and Drug use and had me hooked from start to finish. It was an excellent read.
Reckless Temptations book 4, was more that I expected and I was hooked from start to finish. It had Mafia, MC, gang wars, love,loss, romance, friendship, brotherhood, family and so much more. The story will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. There was non stop action and intense heartache. Riggs and Lauren were hot together, their steamy sex scenes were sizzling and their banter was amusing. It's the story that initially got me hooked on Janine Infante Boscoe's writing and you will absolutely love it
Lethal Temptation book 5 is the forbidden love story between Blackie (the Satan Knights VP) and Lacey (the Satan Knights President daughter). The romance between Blackie and Lacey was so touching. From the previous books we knew Blackie had demons however it was really emotional to learn about Lacey’s demons and my heart just ached for her and her father when he found out. This book had it all action, murder, hot sex, romance, brotherhood and even some wisdom. It deals with issues of Mental health, Grief and Addiction. This well written, emotional novel was a great read.
This is a must have collection as you will love every book in this series. The author knows how to write stories that you will love long after you have finished reading the novel. This is a must read for all lovers of Mafia/MC romances.

The Nomad Series: Collectors Edition is a awesome boxset. I love it cause I get all four of the stories in one spot, and it's featuring some of my favorite alpha, ex-military, MC guys. If you haven't read this series now's the time to grab it.
Drifter is the first book in Janine Infante Bosco Nomad MC Series and it was amazing. This was fast paced with danger, suspense, that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. I liked the characters Stryker and Gina, they were worthy characters.. I always liked seeing some past characters from The Tempted Series. This was a such a great read. I will be reading more of the Normad series.
Wanderer is the second book in Janine Infante Bosco Nomad MC Series and it was awesome. It was action packed, and full of danger, suspense, and the twists will keep you glued to your kindle from start to finish. I liked the characters. I liked seeing some past characters from The Tempted Series. This was a such a great read.
Roamer is book three in the Nomad series and what a ride it is!! The story is so intense, emotional and well developed, that it pulled me in and kept me there until the very last page. The characters Duece and Ally were so damn good together. They were today's Bonnie and Clyde, "We’ve got that ride or die love." Loved seeing the Parrish MC guys. This is one of my favorite MC series, and I can't wait to read Linc's story next!
Loner is the last book in the Nomad series, and boy am I gonna miss these guys. The story was so good and I'm really glad I got to see more of my favorite Parrish family. I liked all the characters, they each had something that I liked. Linc and Kelly were so good together and they deserved a second chance to get their happy ending with eachother. Sad to see this series end, but when I'm missing them I can go back and start this great series over.

“Paint me a picture”
I don’t even know how to start this review. As I was reading the box set I was making notes, in my head as to what I would say about each book in the review.
How can I summarize an epic piece of work into a few paragraphs? I can’t!!
This set takes you through Michael and Nikki; Anthony and Adrianna; Riggs and Lauren ; Jack and Reina ; Blackie and Lacey and everything that happens in between.
Each story flows into the next. Giving you several perspectives of the story you thought you knew!!
Vic Pastore! Truly the king. This man will gut you, rip
Your heart to shreds and just when you think that you can’t cry anymore, you’ll be cheering out loud for him! A true mastermind, definition of class and style, bad ass with serious finesse. He is the definition of every mob boss. You also get to see his soft side. The husband and daddy that so many never saw. What a man!! What a legend!
I cried A LOT in this series, but I also laughed at/with and cheered for these guys that have stolen my heart!
I will reread these books several times over!!
Great read!

Great storytelling almost gets lost in subpar writing skill.
This set of six books is comprised of five standalone romances with the sixth book working as an extended epilogue for the five couples and their extended families and connections. As stories go, these are compelling, intense, and fast-paced. If they had been cleaned up by an editor, they'd be almost perfect. As it is, there were so many errors - word usage, sentence structure, commas, etc. - that it made it very difficult to keep reading. The first book starts with a nail-biting prologue that instantly draws the reader into the lives of its main characters, exciting enough to stick with the rest of the book despite the cringe-worthy errors in nearly every paragraph.
If you're looking for raw and gritty love stories, this is an excellent set, as long as you can get past the innumerable editing mistakes. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this collection.

A great series
This was definitely an intense, intriguing, and wild series full of terrific characters, lots of humor, mystery, suspense, violence, and unexpected twists and turns. It's certainly not a series that you want to miss.
The main reason why I gave this series 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the editing errors. The first book in the series was the worst, but it did get better after that. The first book is very difficult to read because the sentences bled together, literally. Causing me to have to reread most of them just to understand what was going on, which took away from the story. There were other editing issues throughout the series, but nothing like the first book. (Like the wrong name of who's POV would be in that chapter, etc)
Overall, it was a great series, and would've had a 5 star rating if not for the editing issues.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and author.

ETERNAL TEMPTATIONS IS INCREDIBLE!!! The Last Hit! The Final Ride! Janine brings all of our favorite characters back one more time. I love how every chapter is a different characters POV. Each one flowing effortlessly into the next. I have laughed. I have cried. I have sobbed. I've wanted to throw my Kindle across the room. This book has brought out so many emotions. This has been an amazing series. I know Janine has poured her heart and soul into this one. It's reflected in each and every word she has written. These characters, these people come to life. You get to know them. You love them. You hate them. But they will forever be a part of you. Yea...Janine's that good! You don't want to miss a single thing in this series. I'm sad to see it end but I'm looking forward to reading what Janine has in store for us next.

This was a entertaining collection of reads. This was a new to me author and I thought that this collection was a good way to experience her work. I really liked the concept behind this box set. A world where Mafia and MC meet. I was intrigued by this brilliant and compelling idea. There is drama, intensity, danger, action, violence, steam and raw emotion. I felt that the characters were interesting and the chemistry hot. In total a very satisfying series that delivers just what you would expect. This is my voluntarily posted candid review.

Ms. Bosco is a new to me author.
I’m so glad I got the chance to read this collection.
She took two of my favorite genres Mafia and Mc and combined them to give the reader several great stories.
I would never have thought this combination would work.
But this author did it!
Each book is exciting and thrilling.
They are raw and gritty.
And filled with passion and so much sizzle.
I liked the storylines and plots of each book.
And that edge of your seat scenes.
I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Readers! What are you waiting for!?!? I'm going to keep recommending this whole series over and over till you all gave it a shot. Since I started reading this author's work, I've been obsessed with these characters, all the issues, the traumas, the heartache and pains they go through speaks to me a lot. Author Janine Infante Bosco brung out her A Game when she started this series and believe it or not, she'd still bring it on, thank you 💙🖤💙

Loved this series from the start when I read it originally. Reading the bonus chapters just made me fall in love with all these characters all over again & even more. Can’t wait for all these new stories to come out so i can catch up to some of my most favorite characters of all time. Loved the sneek peek into the next generation of this group. This is a series that needs to be read.

This series is amazing. From the first book I knew I was going to love these characters and of course be sad when it's over. This series introduces you to the men of the Pastore crime family and intermingles with The Satan's Knights. These books will keep you wanting more and more. This series is a put everything down and clear your calendar read.

Big Bad Bikers with Heart and the Mobster That Friended Them
If you can get passed the grammatical errors (proofreader needs another go at it) in the first book, you WILL fall in love with these characters and the heartfelt way the author told their stories. I absolutely loved this series and will continue to read everything Janine writes going forward.

Mixed feelings on this book
I'm glad I read this as a complete series. Some i liked, some dragged but I had issues with past vs passed, titles to chapters being wrong, some redundant scenes. It's for the most part a good read as the books and final chapters give closure but I won't continue the series.

Ducking EPIC
This series is an absolute must read. Each character is unique and will steal your heart. From the suit wearing mobsters to the leather clad Bikers to their women who keep them coming home. You'll run through all the emotions in each book and at the end of this series, you'll be Property of Parrish.

February 28, 2019
This is the first I've read from this author and let me tell ya, it most definitely won't be the last. I couldn't get enough. I absolutely loved getting to know this rag-tag crew of mobsters and bikers and the lives that intermingled with each other. Amidst all the chaos and drama that you expect from either a MC or Mob book are the threads that tie these two worlds together. Each one of the stories pulls you in and makes you feel like you are one of the players, not someone on the outside looking in.
Once I started this series, I couldn't stop turning the pages. Michael and Nikki, Anthony and Adrianna, lay the ground work for the rest of the stories in the series that introduce us to all of the Satan's Knights. In each story you get the action, chaos and secrets along with heart, soul and steam. If you're looking for ~2000 pages to get lost in, grab this one now!
Now, I'm on to the Nomads in the series and I truly can't wait.

Oh my!! Six books in this collection, all at one time, by this fabulous author... be still my heart. I have fallen in love with the Pastore Crime Family and as a bonus we get to see how they came to be working with the Satan’s Knights MC. So as readers we get introduced to all new leading men plus the alphas of old. Each one of these books is brimming with action, adventure, suspense, drama, danger and romance. I want to read these stories again and again!
