The Vault #1
Warning, Part One
Jillian Hart didn't belong in our world. She was an innocent, blinded to our ways and seduced by the charm of the mafia. I was a capo in the Marchetti Family, groomed to take control one day, and my father was the Boss, the Don. Damon Marchetti was a well-known name in the mafiosi. We never would've crossed paths if not for a fender bender with the wrong truck on the expressway. After escorting her to the emergency room as a precaution, I discovered she had business ties to a rival family. Simply being seen with me put her in jeopardy, so I kept her close for her own safety. But one thing led to another, and she became more than my charge. I gave her one warning about my life. One chance to decide to stay or leave. She chose to stay. Until all hell broke loose. Then I pushed too hard, and my ever-present alter ego took control. If she thought I gave up easily when the chips were down, she had another warning coming.

Loved Damon and Jillian, read all 3 parts and enjoyed them. I think it was a tad too much with 3 books but it was a very good read!

This is my first book by this author and will not be my last.
I do love a good Mafia book and this one was really good this one was quite short. but have quite a lot into book 1 I love the chemistry between the two main characters. I was hooked from the first page. and need to keep turning the pages to find out what was going happen.
Can't wait to start book 2

Damon Marchetti is very well known in the mafia world. He's being groomed by his father to one day take over the family business. He's hot, cocky, alpha, a murderer and sweet. This story starts off action packed with Milo begging Damon to spare his life. But, you cross the mafia you have to pay the ultimate price. Benny, Damon's employer, lets Damon know they have a situation that needs to remedied. Apparently a couple of his men were involved in a vehicle accident. He goes to the scene and there she is...Jillian Hart. She's beautiful and she has no idea who he is. He takes her to the hospital to make sure she's ok. He decides this woman won't know what hit her because she will belong to him!
Jillian is in town on a temporary assignment when she's involved in an accident. Since she has a rental car she has to have the police fill out an accident report...so she says. When a gorgeous man steps in at the accident site her brain goes to mush! He's charming and gorgeous, what more could a girl want. The next thing she knows he's talked her into going to the hospital. What a gentleman he is and so much more!
Jillian has no idea what she's up against being with Damon! He's sent her subtle warnings about him, but never outright said what he is or does. She wants to be with him, but in his line of work he can trust no one. She's put in a position that no one should be in and must make a difficult decision. What happens when she's tested? Will she pass or fail his trust test?
Oh my gosh, how I love this story! And oh my gosh, I can't wait to see where it goes! The characters were very personable (even Damon's parents)! The story was "real life" (as I have mafia life pictured in my head) and I love when an author can bring those feelings out! It shows what a talented author A.D. Justice and why I love her books so much! I look forward to reading the rest of Damon and Jillian's story! I was left trying to get my kindle to flip to the next page of Warning and there wasn't one! UGH!!

As with everything Angel writes you are sitting right there along with the characters and you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. When Jillian meets Damon after one of his trucks hits her rental car she can’t believe someone like him would be interested in her. Jillian is just an accountant assigned to check over some discrepancies when she meets Damon. Damon is the son of a mafia boss but Jillian doesn’t know that she sees Damon for himself which makes her even more attractive to him. Jillian is getting closer to the discrepancy so someone takes a shot at her but Damon saves her so he gets her to go to his home while they put cameras in her apartment to help keep her safe. As Damon and Jillian get closer the opposing family gets more nervous and makes it known they know they are together so they start to threaten Jillian. As it gets closer Damon knows he should share his secrets and Jillian keeps trying to share hers but they run out of time. This ended in a cliffhanger and I am so hoping that the next story is out soon as it left me thinking for a while.

Once again AD has given me a story that sucked me in and left me guessing right until the end; and that ending wow, just wow. Warning had intrigue, suspense and some pretty hot sexy schmexy scenes that left me needing a cold shower.
Damon was as alpha as they come but at the same time had a heart of gold and would do anything for those that he loved.
Jillian is tough and won't take shit from anyone, she was faced with an absolutely horrible scenario and my heart broke for her in that moment

Their meeting is very Insta.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
No ex drama, o/w or o/m drama.
I thought it seemed short which made me wonder if the trilogy could have been a duet.
The contention at the end seemed ridiculous to me.
Spoiler...
If she thought she had to kill him why go so far, surely she could have talked to him, wrote him a note?? Something.
He set her up to fail too which I was glad she pointed out.
Cliffhanger ending.

Mediocre, but I will give book 2 a try just to see how it all ends. Nothing special or interesting about either character. All of it is just missing that "something". I just finished this book about 3 days ago and had to go back to remember what it was about. I am really surprised by all the 4-5 star reviews. I see a lot of blogger/ARC reviews.
There is no OW/OM drama.

Warning is a story that gripped me from the start! Right away we are shown just what kind of man Damon is. And, he's not good! But, yet he is. He's the kind of man that takes care of what's his, and from their first meeting he knows that Jillian is his. The way Damon goes from really bad guy, to ultra caring, Mama raised a gentleman had me swooning and begging for more! A.D. Really knows how to write an Alpha that everyone will fall for! There's so much story packed into Warning! Plenty of action to keep you on the edge of your seat, and some hot Hot HOT scenes that are guaranteed to bring you to your knees! And, yet again I am in absolute awe of A.D.'s talent and can not wait for more of Damon and Jillian!

Damon Marchetti will definitely become your next book boyfriend. He’s a sexy mafia Capo, possessive and when he sees something or someone he wants he will no doubt take it. Damon sees Jillian and immediately wants to claim her, Jillian doesn’t know anything about the mafia or the rivals family but learns soon enough when her life is in danger. I’m dying for part 2 asap because I absolutely love mafia reads and I desperately want more of Damon & Jillian.

What a tangled web AD Justice created when writing Warning part one. Its fast paced and chalked full of suspense action and oh yes, some major hotness with a side of steamy goodness.
Jillian Hart is in the city on business when she's unexpectedly side swiped by a truck. This one incident sparks an introduction to a world unsafe to her innocence. One look at Damon and safety is the furthest thing from her mind.
Damon Marchetti is a dangerous man indeed. His word is law in the mafia world and everyone knows it, except for one naive woman, Jillian. From first sight he's hooked and even his flimsy warning cant keep them apart.
Shots ring out, bodies drop and trust is tested. Can love survive?
Wow, just wow! How in the world can one author create such addicting chaos? AD Justice can hook any reader with her words. I highly recommend this book and cant wait to be torn off this cliff with book 2.

Damon is a capo in the Marchetti family. He is always ready to do what is required. An Alpha to boot, when he meets Jillian Hart he knows that he has to make sure she is not a threat to his family, yet he also knows that he wants to keep her close for personal and selfish reasons. Their chemistry is scorching, their interactions showing how human they both are and how even though he is always on alert, there’s a chance that his feelings for her will take him by surprise. I loved their conversations and her interactions with his family. I fell in love with Mama Lina and her take charge attitude. I loved that Jillian was sweet and innocent in some things yet she was also feisty.
There was so much hotness in this story, yet there was also sweetness. I hated that there had to be some major conflict and that they had to separate. The story ended too quickly and I am anxiously waiting to read the rest of Damon and Jillian’s story

Have you read AD Justice? Well if you haven't then you are so missing out on one of the best authors in the book world and should stop what you are doing and go pick up any/all of her books and if you have then you know she is the master at sucking you in and making you sit and do nothing but read until the very end. Then when you get to the end, you are going to scream, throw your kindle, and send her messages telling her how evil she is. Yep, this is another one where that will happen. I guarantee it. Damon, oh alpha, sexy as hell, yummy Damon, he is everything you could possibly want in a hero. And sweet Jillian, she is the perfect counterpart to Damon. They just have this chemistry that sizzles off the pages. And that ending, OMG, this is the part where all that yelling, throwing your kindle, and sending Angel messages comes into play. She is the master at being evil and you can't help but love every minute of it.

Jillian Hart is in town for a temporary assignment when she is involved in a car accident. Damon Marchetti’s men were at fault and he is summoned to the accident to sort the details out. When he meets Jillian he insists on taking her to the hospital to be examined so no further claims can be used against his family. When Jillian accepts his offer, she has no idea that she has just committed herself to the Mafia. When Damon finds out who she works for, he is unsure if she is innocent or if she is being used to infiltrate his family, but one thing is for sure, he is quite taken with her. Jillian has no idea that she is being played as a pawn in a very dangerous world. But when she is tasked with a very difficult decision can she follow through? Overall this was a quick read with plenty angst. I enjoyed the fact that Damon is respectful of his Mom and the family and yet he is such an alpha male. I enjoyed Jillian and her banter. Looking forward to reading more.

Woo Hoo A.D. Justice gave us a Mobster story and Damon does not disappoint. He is over the top dominant in control, nobody messes with me or mine, He happens upon Jillian by accident and claims her pretty quickly after seeing her. I adored how he takes care of her, make me tingle. Jillian is from Louisiana and is justing in town for a little while working to clean a company's retirement plan that was all jacked up. Its just her and her Mom who has a caretaker, this girl loves her Momma and would do anything for her. Jillian I think is just as surprised and blown away by her fast feeling for Damon, especially since they are both shot at . This is leaves us at a pivotal point Jillian makes a error and now Damon doesn't trust her she has went back to Louisiana to try and get over Damon. I can't wait for the conclusion .

Jillian Hart is completely blind-sided by the charming stranger who has literally swept her off her feet. She couldn't have imagined finding someone like him when she was assigned to a new account in New York.
Damon Marchetti is entranced by the Southern beauty. He can't seem to find a way around his attraction to her. His family business is a tricky one, one that's now put them both in danger.
This story moves quickly! My only disappointment was that I have to wait for the rest of the story. The characters are well developed and the story line immediately grabbed my attention.
I have read other works by this author and with each I think it's my favorite but then it is quickly replaced by the newest addition.

Warning by AD Justice completely blew me away! I've been a long time fan of Ms. Justice and she continues to surprise me with every single book she writes. Warning keeps you on your toes and leaves you wanting more. Jillian and Damon come from two different worlds. When they first meet you can feel their attraction coming off the pages. But that's not the problem. Will Jillian pass all of Damon's test and win his trust? Or will the warnings she receives make her betray the man she loves? You'll just have to read it to find out! I could NOT put this book down. The characters and the storyline were superb and I don't know if I can wait that long for Part 2!! This book is a definite MUST READ!!

Jillian gets in a wreck with a couple of men of Damons distribution team. Damon is attracted to her and vice versa. So now being her personal driver to protect her from danger shots ring out and protects her. Now very shaken he brings her to his place and stakes his claim on her. He brings her to family dinner but more danger awaits. This is a very well written story by A.D. Justice and featured in the Vault Anthology

In this one you go in knowing up ahead lies a bad boy ready to eat us up. Damon is gets hit by innocence with Jillian the minute they meet. She sees the inside he hides from the world I think but you also get to see them grow in this. You find out what it means to be involved with him. You are so immersed you do want to slap someone when the drama hits. You scream at them both at the end of this one and want to scream at author.
October 24, 2017
Like all Angels books I was hooked from the first page. Jillian is an accountant in town looking over books for a company. She gets into an accident and meets Damon he’s the son of the mafia boss but Jillian has no clue. As the story unfolds I’m on the edge of my seat to see what’s going to happen and then bam cliffy, thank the lord the next one will be out soon because I’m hooked like hook line and sinker.

I love A D Justice! All of her books are so well written, and the story always sucks you right in.
Ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time? Well that's what happens to Jillian. She has no idea what she is getting involved in. The rival between these two mafia families turns Jillian's world for a loop. Oh my goodness I can't wait for part 2 of Jillian and Damon.

A.D. Justice gives us a mafia story that makes you swoon! I really loved the concept of this one with some twists and turns and great intrigue! Damon and Jillian sizzle together in an unexpected romance. Justice gives us great Alphas and Damon does not disappoint. He reminded me of a fallen angel that still has the good in him!
October 18, 2017
Holy........I swear A.D. Justice is absolutely the best at what she does! I do believe I have a book hangover from this short read just as bad I would have from a regular book. There are simply no words to describe how brilliant and amazing this story is. This didn’t just captivate me, it completely wrapped around me.
October 21, 2017
I hate you but I love you. Ugh. I should be sleeping. And I knew it was gonna be a cliffy but no I just HAD to stay up and read it. To make it up to me please send Damon to me bedroom, and all will be forgiven.
How is it possible to love a bad guy, well if A.D wrote him you will. Strong male and female leads, sassy, sarcastic and steamy. My fav things.

Warning part 1 by A.D. Justice was a great read. I have a splitting headache right dying for more. I loved Damon's character. I cannot believe what he did towards the end. I want to punch him. I have always loved this author and this Novella doesn't change my opinion of her work.
October 17, 2017
WOW! you don't want to miss reading this story - one of those edge of the seat can't put down stories. This is Damon and Jillian's story - a story full of sizzling scenes with lots of action, intrigue, suspense, and romance.
