It was an okay romance but wasn't the intense and engaging audiobook I had hoped it would be. Feelt rather luke warm from this. Didn't feel the tension and wasn't in love with the romance.

Got this on STUFF YOUR KINDLE DAY and I did enjoy it. Tho its very cliche and with cringey scenes - I did finish it so that means something. But I don't think I'll continue this series. Only read this book for a change of pace.

Too Boring!
I almost stopped reading at the half way point but I kept going in hopes it would get better. It didn't. It just kept dragging out to fill pages. I bet all three books could actually be condensed into one if all the redundant fluff was removed. I won't be reading any more by this author. There are too many good ones to check out. Save your time and read a Chinese menu instead you'll get more out of it!

This was my first book by this author, scooped it up while it was free on Amazon which turned out to be a great decision. The middle was a little cheesy, but loved the beginning and end, need to know what happens next!

What a unbelievable way to start a new series! This series is looking up to be one of my favorites. This is about Raphael, the Don of the Chicago Mafia and his daughter, Amelia and the man to be her husband, Luc who is given the task of bringing Ameial back to Chicago but as his wife in order to take over as the Don and have all the power and wealth that Raphael is leaving him. You will not be able to stop once you start this story. Amelia left Chicago when she was younger and never looked back as she realized what her family stood for and did not want any parts of it, she changes her name and even becomes a force to be taken seriously as a detective in CA in the crimes division. Luc is out to prove to Raphael he will be able to get Amelia to marry him and bring her home so he can retire before he passes away. The way Luc becomes a part of Ameila’s everyday life is just amazing. They learn to work with one another and the connection and heat between them is one hot explosion. The secrets these two share will explode at one point but until then they are enjoying being together and figuring out what is happening around them. The evil forces around them are getting closer to figuring out what Luc knows and once his secret is out how does Amelia deal with it? This is definitely a cliff hanger and boy am I patiently waiting for the next part!! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I had no expectations for this book - it has been on the TBR awhile and I don't really know how it got there! I love mob books so maybe that's the only reason........but I know I have overlooked it for years!! Finally decided to borrow it and WOW - loved it so much!! 4.5 stars. I was definitely hooked right away like after a few pages. Drawn in to Lucian and then into Amelia and then both of them!!!! So much chemistry and so much feeling. The audio was so good at bringing it all out too!! This is a trilogy and seems to be all 3 books same couple and this one ended on a cliffhanger - I will be cracking open book 2 right now!!

Не знаю, що точно поставити, бо сюжет спокійний, кохання здорове і без жесті, але мені було нудно читати

Lucian is set to take over as head of the mafia family but he has to marry Don Raphael's daughter. Amelia is a cop and Don Raphael's daughter. She left everything behind in Chicago and moved to LA. Luc is sent in as a cop to get close to Amelia. Lies and betrayal lead to a dangerous path for the couple. Will Amelia and Luc come together as a couple? A good read that I recommend.

What a fantastic book, it hooked me from the first page. Raphael was the big boss of the Mafia that ran most of Chicago. He was unwell and wanted to hand over the reigns to someone else. He had no sons of his own so he chose one of his best friends sons. With this honour came a price, he had to marry Raphael's estranged daughter.
This is where Amelia comes in many years previous she had opted out the Mafia life, changed her name and became a cop. She was dedicated to her job and not interested in relationships, having had a couple go very wrong. That was until Luc joined as her new partner. As with any lie the truth will out and slowly Amelia's true identity is being revealed. She also learns more about the truth of Luc which is a total shock to her. She has fallen for him and now her head cannot seen to sort everything out. The book flowed well from scene to scene. It is left hanging at the end with so many loose ends.

Khardine Gray's new series looks set to be an absolute ripper, if book 1 is anything to go by. Amelia is the daughter of a mafia boss who changed her identity, becomes a cop, and moves across the country to get away from her gangster father Raphael. Luc is Raphael's designated successor to his multi-million dollar mafia business - but only if Amelia agrees to marry him.
Luc goes undercover to pursue Amelia, who has no idea who he is. But the attraction between the two is electric, and Khardine does a great job of building the heat and flirtatious tension between them.
But there's more to Luc's assignment than he realises, putting both their lives - and their love affair - in danger. What will happen when Amelia finds out his true identity? I'm looking forward to reading book 2 to find out!

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. What an amazing way to start a new series and Mafia no less. Amelia and Luc’s story is suspenseful, sexy, explosive chemistry and deliciously hot!! When Amelia figured out what her family stood for, she was out, wanted nothing to do with it anymore, moved, changed her name and made a life for herself. Now the time has come, and she needs to come home and do her part, and Luc is the one to bring her home. He’s next in line to take over the family business but needs Amelia to do it. No spoilers, their story is amazing, there’s drama, lies, secrets and so much more and I can’t wait to see how it all turns out for these two. Loved it!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the first book in this trilogy. They are not standalone and must be read in order. Also this book leaves you in a cliffhanger patiently waiting for the next book.
Lucian is set to take over for Raphael. Only he has one condition. Marry his daughter and it might not be that easy.
Amelia hated knowing her father's crime background and vowed to be on the right side of the law. She has worked had to become a detective and to keep herself hidden from her former life. Now someone is threatening to expose her.
This was a great start and can't wait for the next books.

Just not for me.
Currently I've got a craving for mafia/dark romances and when I picked this up on Stuff Your Kindle for Free day, I thought I'd hit the jackpot. Mafia romance? Check. Free book? Check. Audiobook available through Libby? Check.
What didn't work for me was the fact that the whole story is implausible. Now, mafia romances are usually implausible but I couldn't dispend my belief for this.
So we have Luc who is going to take over as the Don of a mafia in Chicago. His father's best friend is the current Don but he's dying and has no kids to take over. Or so he's led everyone to believe. He has an estranged daughter Amelia, and in order for Luc to take over, he needs to marry Amelia and bring her back into the fold.
Seems easy, right? Well no, because Amelia is currently working as a cop in LA. So Luc has to go undercover and try to win her over.
So the thing that bothered me was that Luc was able to just go undercover as a cop and Amelia's boss knew he was a mafia guy and was totally cool with him coming in because he was crooked as fuck. Like how does someone from the mafia just get a job in the police force?
Oh and I just didn't care for the romance or either of the main characters. So I guess I'm not finishing the series.

Mafia boss
I'm giving this a 4 because i really hate cliffhangers!! When i got this, i thought it was a standalone 🙃
This one was good and keeps you on your toes. Luc is tasked with finding the dons daughter and marrying her to take over as boss. Once he gets to LA to live the "normal" life, things keep happening, and someone from his past appears.
Amelia and Luc end up falling for each other, but it's all based on lies except for how Luc really feels. Did i mention he's pretending to be a detective... oh, and there's also a rat in the department.
Overall, I enjoyed this, but I'm seriously bummed about the cliffhanger!

4.5/5. So good. My first “mafia gangster” book and it did not disappoint. Amelia did not want anything to do with her father’s gangster lifestyle, so she ran from Chicago to LA and became the complete opposite of her father…the crime division cop of the LAPD. Back in Chicago Amelia’s father Raphael ruled the world, but he became sick and was dying and decided one of his best men, Luc was going to take over his business but to do so he had to marry Amelia. Luc went to LA to win her over to become the crime lord of Chicago but little did he know he would fall in love with her, but is she worth giving up the money and power she doesn’t want to be a part of?

Pretty exhilarating read.
The lucrative Chicago empire will be passed down to the mob boss' chosen heir if he will meet his criteria. Win the hand of his daughter and uncover the mystery behind the sudden chaos that's threatening the life of the mafia's beloved daughter.
Fun, exciting, and fast paced. From the moment he meets her, he enchants her. Then he begins to question all he and his family values, if he would give it all up, if he would do anything for her.

Strong fmc
I love a good story with a fiercely strong fmc. She is a police officer and he a future mafia boss. He goes undercover to meet her and ends up falling madly in love with her. There is spice, a mystery, romance and plenty of lust too, plus some heavy subjects both at present and from the past. It all ends on a cliffhanger 😩
Free on kindle and part of the plus catalogue audible too.

“Don’t think it’ll make me suddenly like you.”
He twisted around and gave me a slow once-over look, allowing his eyes to roam over my body. His expression pulled at my insides, deep inside at the place I kept on a leash, the place where I stored my emotions.
“God forbid.” He winked at me and continued through the door.
As head of the most powerful mafia family in Chicago, Raphael Rossi must chose someone to take over from him when his health begins quickly declining. With no sons of his own, he decides to hand the reigns over to his best friend's son, but he has a condition for Lucian Morientz. In order to obtain control of his business and fortune, he must go to LA and convince Raphael's daughter to marry him and return to Chicago.
After discovering the truth about her family, Amelia Rossi left home and made a new life for herself. Ten years later and now Detective Amelia Taylor, that new life is shaken up by the appearance of Detective Luc Smith, who seems intent on winning her over despite Amelia's less-than-warm welcome. She can't resist his charms for long though, and soon she finds herself opening up to him in a way she never has before. But then reality comes crashing down and she begins to suspect Luc may be keeping secrets from her, and that there's much more to him than meets the eye.
“Can you just stop being Miss I don’t need anybody and allow me to take care of you?” The smile grew wider.
“You don’t have to,” I protested.
“And yet I want to, even with you being a pain in the ass.”
“I’m not a pain in the ass.”
“You’re a pain in the fucking ass, doll.” He chuckled. “And don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.”
Wow, talk about a book taking a surprising turn! Not so much in terms of plot, but in my feelings for it. See, me and Mafia Boss got off on the wrong foot. When I first started the book, I was enjoying it enough, but for the first 30% or so it seemed like it was going to be a pretty average read. Not bad, just not amazing.
Then something changed. I can't even explain how or why exactly, but I suddenly found myself falling in love with these characters and their relationship, and I was not only enjoying the book but I was LOVING it!
I kissed her tender mouth with a greed that surprised me. It was like I needed her, needed to taste her, to have everything that was her. The feeling reached beyond my game, beyond Raphael and the damn business. It terrified me, because I felt like what I held in my arms—her—was everything I could possibly want in this world.
Luc's character in particular is something that shifted for me over the course of the book. I really didn't care for him when I first started reading. He was so pompous and arrogant and kind of an ass. But as time went on I slowly began warming up to him until I was practically swooning. Oh my goodness, he was so charming. Luc the would-be mafia boss is perhaps an arrogant jerk, but once he starts falling for Amelia and showing his romantic side with her, we get to see the person he really is, or the person he could be. And that person is so sweet and adorable and protective and just an all around amazing guy.
He was such a brat too, which I found so hilarious. The way he would always tease Amelia and joke around with her. I loved how he could always make her laugh. She's so used to keeping up this tough facade all the time, so it was really sweet to see him bring out her playful side.
“You are trouble, Luc Smith.”
“Can’t help it, doll.”
“I need to go home.”
“My place home? You’d love my bed.”
I chuckled at the comment, giving him credit for not giving up. “My place home, in my bed by myself.”
Unlike Luc, it didn't take long at all for me to love Amelia. I was immediately impressed with her character. She's so damn tough and ballsy. She doesn't take shit from anyone. And I just loved her personality so much. It's hard to put it into words, but there's just something about the way she carries herself and how she handles situations that I really liked.
They are both complex, layered and well written characters. As great as they are separately, it's the two of them together that really stole my heart. I don't often find couples that I fall so in love with anymore, but these two were something special. I found myself tearing up so many times throughout the book. And not even because anything sad was happening, but just because they were so sweet and cute and I was overcome with emotion! I also loved the gradual progression of their love. So often relationships develop so quickly in romance books, but I really felt like this one developed at a realistic pace.
The ending was so good. I loved the very last chapter so much! It was inevitable and though I knew it was coming that didn't make it any less heartbreaking. But it was done so well and actually left me in tears.
Despite my gushing, this is not a perfect book. I did have a few issues along the way, but by the end I was just so captivated by the story that those small flaws hardly seemed significant anymore. This author is definitely on my radar now. I can't wait to continue this series and read anything else she's written.

Khardine Gray has once again written a riveting story that is impossible to put down. Amelia, the Don's daughter has changed her name and stayed away from her father's business. She is now a police officer and has no intention of every getting married or returning home. Luc is like a son to the Don but to take over the Don's billion dollar empire, Luc must marry his daughter. How can that possibly happen? Well for starters, Luc goes undercover as a police detective and becomes Amelia's new partner. This incredible, face-paced story provides intrigue, drama, gripping suspense, sizzling chemistry, earth shattering romance and many twists and turns. The superb writing and complex characters make this exciting story a pleasure to read. “Mafia Boss” is the first book in a trilogy consisting of two other books. I don't usually read books with cliff-hangers but “Mafia Boss” is well worth your time. I eagerly await book two.

This is just the beginning. Lucian is destined to take over the family business in Chicago from the don Raphael but there are stipulations and tests of course. The biggest one, is marrying Raphael's daughter Amelia who nobody knew was alive except his best friend. The problem, well there are a few but the biggest one is she is a police officer in LA. She left 10 years ago and put her past behind her, changed her name and is successful in her career. When Lucian appears will he be able to get close to her?? Will he be able to save her when someone tries to run her over?? So many questions and I can tell you that you will only get a few answers since there is a cliffhanger at the end so get ready for book 2.. The book is written well which isn't a surprise from this author. Enjoy.

Wow, Luc and Amelia are such a hot couple. Both keeping secrets from each other while giving in to the hot chemistry between them. Some interesting twists in the story always left wondering what would happen when everything unravelled. A gripping read. Read an ARC for an honest review.

This first book in a series is attention-getting and sinfully hot! I was quickly immersed into Amelia's and Lucian's world. Loved the story line and the secondary characters. I'm off to read book 2, Mafia Scars, so I can see how their journey continues.
