Another enjoyable read!
Love me some DeSerra brothers. Marcello is no exception! He and Regina had chemistry but I thought her son got attached to him a bit too quickly. Also I thought the love scenes were super hot but there were only two! Backstory was decent but would have liked more focus on how Marcello and Regina reignited their love. Decent read nevertheless.

Good but a few missing bits
Good book but I couldn't give a higher mark because I would have liked to have more about the role of Marcello' s role in his family. It's alluded to a few times but no details. Also more interaction with the family would have been good. The inconsistencies with the safety of Reggie was too ridiculous. The idea that he wouldn't have more security at home when he got her there for protection not once but twice makes the book weak. Also there wasn't much romance in the book, the author relied too much on the fact that they were exes. Also never mentioning her sons father name was silly. If only if he wanted to adopt the kid.

Wow
I enjoyed reading this second book with Marcello and Regina just as much as the other one but I believe even more so! He seems to be even more dangerous then his brother.. I like how family stick together and when betrayed they do whatever is necessary to protect the ones they love be it so call family or not. And Regina is a fighter and for a little guy he showed his bravery when it was most needed. So much drama and mystery kept me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to read Octavius story next!

I enjoyed the book. The action and romance of the story. The only problem I had was were Macro work.. She says that the family base is the DMV area, but she put Marco's work at West Point. And he was able to get to his uncle house in like and hour, not. Did she mean for him to work in Annapolis instead. Last I knew West Point is in upstate New York. Everything else about the book was awesome, but this keep throwing me off. That's the only reason I didn't give it give 5 stars. I love 💘the series and the brothers have a good bond between them.

Regina and Marcello have a past one where he broke her heart. Now they are thrown back together due to a case she is working on involving military cadets. Marcello can't get over the woman that Regina has become and he is even more captivated by her. Working close will take every ounce of her will power to stay immune to the force that Marcello commands over her heart. There is a lot of drama and suspense in this story that will keep you turning the pages until the very last one. I voluntarily Agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.

This series is so hot! I loved Regina and Marco. The de Serra clan is a force to be reckoned with and then some. Regina's strong character was the perfect compliment to Marco and Marco was the perfect protector for Regina and Noah. Great story with lots of action and some serious steaminess. As soon as I finished this book, I was ready for the next one. Such an exciting series. I can't wait for more.

An enjoyable read- some plot flaws
I enjoyed this. I've never read this author before, so I didn't know what to expect. I'm normally a Sci-fi romance fan- aka Ruby Dixon, but thought I'd give this a try. The chemistry between Regina and Marcello was sizzling and her son Noah was adorable. I agree with some reviewers that the killer element was abit sloppy and underdeveloped, but other than that it was enjoyable. I'll go back and read the rest of the series.

Romance and Mystery!!,
The first book of this series was good but this book was really good. Its been awhile since I've read a good romance/mystery novel. I'd read the reviews before I started reading this book. One of the reviewer's opinion was "she did not go into much depth with the villians". I totally disagree, the author gave us step by step of the interviews villains and she'd given thoughts of why she had chosen the top 5 suspects. Most. Def a must read novel.

Another good second chance, murder mystery, military, mafia live story.
Lots of genes involved in bringing this couple together again. So much so that, it almost took away from the story. I felt there was lots more that could have been told about each one.
However, all's well that ends well!

This is absolutely enjoyable
Wow the characters in this series is intriguing compelling and sizzling hot. What a great series to enjoy. The main male character could command me any time. I really enjoy a man to take charge and who is determined but charming. Every book in this series will make you turn page after page plus you will enjoy every minute of it.

De Serra's Romance
This steamy romance keeps you enjoying this story until the end. I love the connection between Eden and Marcello and the interaction with family and friends. The plot of this storyline flows smoothly. A H/h that are charming, independent, strong willed, there are eye raising moments and suspense with intrigue. You will enjoy this book.

Solid Story
I didn’t read the first story in the series. However, I completely enjoyed Marco and Regina‘s story. Noah was a cute kid and easy to like. The action was fierce but not over the top. I like that Regina is strong and able to rescue herself. I am looking forward to reading about Octavius.

I enjoyed this one, more so because of Noah than anything else! It was suspenseful and engaging, but Regina was not very sound in her decision making skills or a very good judge of character! She made her life more difficult by herself! I am so glad that Noah helped her there at the end and accepted for Marco for them both!

I can always count on author Niya James to deliver a story that is exciting and will make me fall in love. This was a great second chance military love story with a side of Mafia. I've read book 1 and I can't wait to read book 3

Marco and Regina
I enjoyed this book. The only thing is Ms. James stories start off great but seemed to have abrupt endings and if it is part of a series, I'd like to read a little about the previous brothers and their families.

Powerful
It was nice to see what a damsel in distress could do when faced in life and death situations. The pure love conquering all was well written. I could not stop reading it until the end. The entire series is binge worthy.

I had fun with this book
Reggie and Mario and Noah was a joy to read. The book was full of suspense with a good touch of sexual appeal. Looking forward to reading Octavius story. Good work!

Good story
This story was good but slow moving plot. The ending was great, it just took too long to get there and too repetitive.

Ok!
Much like the first book. Danger and family conflict follow the couple. Regina wants to be cautious with Marco but he knows what he wants.

Not bad
This was a good but predictable book. I may venture to the next but so far they seem to be your typical bad boy and good girl hero books

Never Letting Her Go
I liked the men in this story. They made it seem so real I loved that the characters in the story were so intune with each other.

The way Regina and Marcello's lifeline unfolded had me hanging off the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next! I am so glad that I was not disappointed with the end results!!

Nice read with suspense, romance with hot intensity, and has a good storyline but didn't bring the connection I crave to a book I am reading.

For me, what carried this novel were the characters, particularly the chemistry between Marcello and Regina. Marcello's plotline with his family was also interesting. The suspense and 'action-y' parts were also engrossing. The murder investigation plotline had a promising start, and the emotional investment carried it along, but when I rethink how it unfolded, some of the links between plot points feel tenuous or characters say they said/did things but I can't find where in a previous chapter this was so (maybe I just missed it). Also, in chapter 1, Gary states he believes the killer is "not done with" him. There isn't anything to suggest later that this is the case. Overall, the investigation plotline seemed simplistic.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next one in the series.
I received and ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
