Step Bride
I’m the mobster’s forbidden bride.
I don’t know why he wanted to get married, but I couldn’t stop saying yes over and over again.
And it gets worse. My crazy mother eloped with his mafia father. We’re one big happy family, right?
I need to divorce him. I need to stop wanting him. I need to get out of this situation before both our families are torn to pieces.
Bastard's Baby
I had that bastard’s baby and now I need his help.
The Russians are at war with the Italians, but I know Vince is my only chance. When I run away from home and ask him for help, I’m risking my life to save my son.
If the cocky jerk Vince Mori can’t learn what it means to be a father, I might be totally screwed.
Kissing the Killer
The killer took me, but I won’t be his.
He came in the night, killed my abusive father, and carried me away.
Now we’re on the run. If the mafia finds out what he did, we’ll both be finished.
He destroys everything in his path. I know if I let him, he’ll ruin me too.
But I have to give myself over to him, or we both might end up dead.
Packing Heat
They want to kill me, but he wants to knock me up. Either way I’m screwed.
Rafa says getting me pregnant will stop the mafia from coming after me. He says it’s the only way to protect me, but I’m worried he just wants to take my body again and again.
I can’t say no. If I do, the mafia will kill me, and he’s the only one trying to protect me.
But worst of all, part of me wants him to do it . . .
Bow Down
I want to take on the world, but that arrogant bastard just wants to take me.
Young, tall, and handsome, Wyatt Carter is no normal politician. He’s a notorious former bad boy turned State Attorney General, and I need his help if I’m going to crush my father’s mafia.
I'll bow down to him, but first he has to lay the world at my feet.

This is the ULTIMATE Mafia Collection; together in one place is the Barone Crime Family Series. I loved all of these stories and could not put them down. I don’t think I have ever read a collection of stories this fast; I devoured them. In this collection you will go on many action adventures along with these characters and fall in love along with them. This author knows how to write stories that absorb the reader and would let go. Each of these had the perfect balance of action, passion, romance, and heat; there is also a bit of mystery. This author is my go to for mafia related reads when I am looking for story and lust without the complete darkness that others seem to add to their stories. I cannot get enough of these reads. All of these stories are full length, have dual narration, are mafia related and addicting!
Step Bride (4 stars), the story of Natalie and Lucas. Natalie is in Vegas and before she knows it she is married to a beautiful, rich and cocky stranger named Lucas. Lucas, happens to be the heir to the Barone crime family and has the attitude and personally to match. When he decides that Natalie is his, nothing is going to stand in his way; not even their parents being married. I loved this mafia version of a step brother romance and I loved the passion between the two main characters. The action kept this story going and the heat kept me going. Loved it!
Bastard’s Baby (4 stars), the story of Kaley and Vince. Vince is the ultimate or should I say typical mafia romance antagonist. He is cocky, ripped, dangerous, and exactly who the reader wants, just like Kaley. He’s Italian, she’s Russian and both are part of a different mafia family. They felt an attraction and that let to one steamy night. Kaley ended up pregnant and running form her own family as she cannot have the enemy’s baby. Kaley was strong and a great character but Vince story this story for me. He was everything that a mafia man should be, and he loved and protected both his woman and his baby once he found out. I loved the tension between the two and that this author did not make it all hearts and flowers. I think this story (as far as romance books go) is as based in reality as possible. It was a great read.
Kissing the Killer (4 stars), the story of Brooks and Emma. Brooks is the antihero of this story. Dark and violent, he does his job without feeling and as he is directed. He is the man who dies need anything or anyone and will never get close enough to a women to find love; except he meets Emma and all those thoughts change. Emma is a woman in need of saving from her abusive father and needs a strong man to protect her. She is on the softer side, a nice balance to Brookes. This story was action packed and made me excited to turn the pages. The characters were great and this story had a lot of great lines.
Packing Heat (4 stars), the story of Cassidy and Rafa. Cassidy is a reporter and she is investigating the mafia for trafficking people. This story was filled with heat, even if Cassidy was a bit too naive. I loved that Rafa was a man who let his women have an opinion in their life decisions; so often the men are dominate to the point of the women having no choice. I liked the action of this story along with the passion. I felt it was a bit softer than the other stories and not as well planned out, less seamless. It is a great story and I enjoyed reading it.
I bought these stories as individuals and read them as they were released. I then bought his boxed set as they are do good I wanted the boxed set! Enjoy!

If you love Bad Boy Mafia romances then this is the author and collection for you. I love B. B. Hamel so when she put these amazing books in one I jumped at the chance to get it.
Step Bride starts out this amazing box set. I didn't know what to make of this because I am not a huge step brother romance fan but this book is really giving me second thoughts on reading them. Natalie just wants to live her life away from her crazy mother and he reality tv ways. Lucas just wants to be feared, being a mob boss doesn't mean you need friends. One night in Vegas that's all they promised each other until they meet again as step siblings. This books shows you that you shouldn't try and mess with the Mob.
Bastards Baby wow this book had me hooked from the very beginning. I couldn't put it down because I didn't believe that the author was messing with my feelings the way she was. it was suppose to be a night of no names and nothing but fun. Kaley is in trouble well more like her baby is in trouble and she will do whatever it takes to protect him, even if that means going to see her babys father. the one man that she wasn't suppose to know who he was or his name.
Kissing the Killer this book had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't wait to see where the author took us in this book. How deeper in the underbelly of the mob she was going to take us. Emma lives with an abusive father that works for the Russian Mob but because he has many addictive traits he is now in debt with Italian Mob. Brooks is the hit man for the Italian Mob. He does the nitty gritty when the Bosses don't want to get their hands dirty. When their paths cross their lives are forever changed.
Packing Heat this book brings you deeper into the Mob but it also brings you deeper in with the Spiders. I think this is one of my favorites in the Barone Crime family series. Cassidy is a reporter that gets a tip on human trafficking that leads her to a Mob bar. there she meets Rafa and things start to get Crazy. well until he is called away. That was a mood killer. Rafa knows that he will eventually get her but there is one thing stopping him and that's because he cant trust her. what is the Mob without trust?
Bow Down now this is my most anticipated read in the box set that I was waiting for. Each book just kept getting better and better. I couldn't put it down. All the twists and turns in each book lead me up to this amazing book. I didn't even want to start it because I didn't want it to end. Wyatt has built himself up from nothing and he is a very powerful lawyer who may not be on the right side of the law. He may also be power hungry and that is a lethal combinations. He isn't used to women piquing his interest either. Louisa is a former mafia princess nd leader of an elite group that does everything for the good side of law. At a chance meeting at a dinner party Louisa knowing exactly who he is and sparks fly between them only to have the mood killed when he is called away. As they slowly start to get to know each other they start to work together and that brings out betrayals and new situtaions that they have to get themselves out of.
All the twists and turns of these books had me wanting and needing more so I ignored everything to read the box set. I couldn't wait to finish it but I was so sad when I did finish because it brings to life romance and the deep dark underbelly of the Mobs. I love B. B. Hamel and I am a huge fan for life.

Sex, love and betrayal make this a must read, impossible to put down, mafia romance with violence, suspense, and lots of interesting twists in the plot. Wow, a fantastic conclusion to this series, I loved it!

This isn't your typical mafia romance. This is an entirely different kind of mafia story. Lucas is the son of a mafia head. Natalie is the daughter of a reality star. They meet in Las Vegas after Natalie and her best friend Pacey go there to celebrate the end of another semester of college. Lucas and Natalie but it off but she gets scared. The story is very intense, hot and a very sexy read.
This is just a part of the box set. There are a total of five stories, which are all as great as the first one.

This collection contains five super hot, bad boy mafia romances. It brings together all the books in The Barone Crime Family series into one convenient and delightful package. These interconnected stories offer plenty of drama, suspense, danger and steamy passion. A excellent set of books that are perfect for fans of mafia themed books or just steamy romances. This is a totally honest, voluntary review.

The Barone Crime Family is the main family in this set. They characters are part of the family in one way or the other. They are either the father's children or high up in the ranks. These books were good the first time I read them and they were better reading them again. This was a great box set you don't want to miss. They have hot alpha men and strong women who fall for them. The chemistry between the couples is off the charts. There is suspense and action both in and out of the bed.

I love this collection from B.B. Hamel! The Brone Crime Family series is such a great read! These bad boys will stop at nothing when they find their women to keep them safe. Louisa is one of my favorites in this series for the simple fact on her own she is such a strong character and part of a family where men rule and women are to be the eye candy, and yet she forges her own path.

This is a fantastic set of books for a fantastic price! The storylines pulled me in and I didn't want to put them down. The characters were great. Hot alpha males and fiesty women, what more could you ask for. I have not had a chance to read all the stories yet, but the ones I did were well written and made for easy reading. I would definitely recommend this collection of bad boy mafia stories!

B.B. Hamel really know how to write a great lovestory.
This box set of five mafia bad boys/girl and their match are just perfect. The five stories are standalone stories but they are linked.
I have always felt that you know when you are reading an amazing book; it’s when you can actually picture the scene as if it were unfolding right in front of you. That is how I felt with these stories..
I highly recomend this box set.

Shades of good and evil?
This entire series demonstrates that there is good and bad in everything and everyone. It all depends on perspective. I like the fact that Hamel doors not hide either side, giving the main characters multi-faceted personalities. Of course, goodness and love triumph over evil and hatred in the end, but the journey is worth your time. The 5-star rating is earned and well deserved.

It was just okay
Some of the girls didn't seem strong and they fell at the man's feet anytime even if the guys were wrong. It was just weird. A lot of the naughty scenes i liked and were descriptive but they just seemed to be repetitive in the other stories.

Great Collection
This is an amazing set. I received an advanced copy for my honest review.
However, that being said, I actually own and have previously read 3 of the 5 books.
They are all suspenseful, fun, and HOT! A must buy!
