Italian Knights #7
Murano
“How do you accidentally fall on a seven inch knife?”
And so began Mimi Johnson’s first argument with the man, the myth, the walking migraine that is Giuseppe Nardiello. If she had a pound for every time she thought about having him sectioned, she wouldn’t need to work at the Da Canaveze’s state of the art private hospital. She wouldn’t need to work at all.
With their two best friend’s falling in love and getting married, eyes fell to them to do the same and sharpish. Mimi couldn’t truly appreciate the convenience of someone as gorgeous and ripped and borderline unbalanced as Beppe landing in her surgical lap just like that. What else could be wrong with him?
Beppe is the last man standing among his be-ringed mates, a status he feels rather content with until he catches Mimi’s cheeky little grin and gets firm confirmation which end she’s had her piercings; plural… He’s ready to give his all to her, but he’s missing the familial piece of his own puzzle that will make him feel whole. Adopted as a baby after the gruesome murder of his birth mother, he’s never truly known who he is, until a letter arrives from a lawyer in Venice, finally telling him that the island of Murano holds all the answers key to even his very name.
Borderline or not, Beppe is the perfect man and Mimi couldn’t bear for anything to happen to him. If she has to use all her skills and piercings to convince him to protect himself from the obvious danger on that island, they’re all on the operating table.
From London to Marseille to Venice and the island itself, Murano drags Beppe and Mimi on a dangerous journey of discovery. Love truly saves all, but will it be enough to save them both from the terror behind the truth?
This is book seven in the Italian Knights Series, to be taken all at once, preferably with something stronger than water coz it’s about to get a bit mad…

About the author
Billy London
34 books270 followersAh, poor Billy. The only girl between two boys who each have nearly a foot on her. Didn't stop her from starting physical fights with them. She still thinks she can take them. So while she used to hide away in her wardrobe to read a book or four, she started to question why the heroines in those books would just lie there and take it. No, not just sex, but downright James-Bond-backhand-slapping, do-as-you're-told-woman, inappropriate lie there and take it.
She couldn't understand it. These women were just playing that mental woman from Coming to America, Miss “Whatever You Like” who barked like a dog and hopped on one foot. Billy didn't want to do that. Definitely not because one empty-headed fool with different anatomy told her to. So she started to create characters and worlds where the women could own their sexuality, their intelligence, their right to turn around and say “jog on, mate” without apology.
The small problem was that other people wanted to read what she was had written. “Er...why?” didn't cut it as an answer. After years of prodding and pleading and come on and for goodness’ sake, what's the point otherwise, she closed her eyes and pressed “submit.” Actually, she had Prosecco, limencello and white wine, then pressed “submit.” Who would have thought people would actually enjoy reading about the crazy characters who live in her head? But they have done, and Billy feels rather proud of that connection with her fellow man.
Billy lives in London with the most patient family in the world and doesn't forget for a minute how lucky she is. Well, she wouldn't mind a BBC adaptation of one of her novels... Ooh, with Richard Armitage!

Wonderful conclusion to Mimi and Beppe's story and the crazy set of characters I've come to love. I hope Billy writes a follow up book with all of them... perhaps she could do a Christmas book with lots of food and kids

Entertaining but
I was overall disappointed by how Lauro was presented. I think he really loved Tea but unfortunately he was in a terrible position (of his own making) and did the best he could although it took him too long to get there. Case in point, he lied about Tea being dead but told Ranieri the truth. If he was spiteful/ruthless he would have kept his mouth shut. He knew fully well where she was and that they were together. There is no way he wouldn’t have checked on Ranieri at least. He also at least financially and emotionally made sure that Beppe was taken care of. I truly believe that he didn’t try to see him before because he knew his son was insane. His biggest mistake was to not have killed Cesare himself after the first sibling died. Because of that, to me it was silly not to accept his legacy, if only because with that money he could have helped a lot of people and made sure both his mother, Ranieri and their family could have gone back to Venice no questions asked. Also, given the business they are in, having allies in Venice could be useful. His reaction was more impulsive than rational. I didn’t like how suddenly Ranieri and his mother were turned into heroes as if they didn’t make mistakes too. His mother, although young had an affair with a married man and let’s face it didn’t look/find him in 34 years. His name hasn’t changed. If not for Lauro they wouldn’t have connected. As for Ranieri, he fell in love with Tea but he knew how crazy his sister was, so he was careless in basically leaving her without making sure they could disappear first without a trace like they did in Switzerland. Ranieri also was never honest with Lauro about his feelings for Tea and how he basically wanted to adopt his son. So there’s enough blame to go around in my opinion. The rest of the story was ok, not that funny at times, and the author should have given us a better physical description of both Beppe and Amelia. This is supposed to be a standalone and at times it was difficult to follow if you hadn’t read the whole series.

The best series
When I tell you this book has the making of a comedy, thriller, drama rolled up in one Giuseppe was the most craziest of them all in this series and my favorite character the most unapologetic crazy man with the heart of gold him and Amelia just blew me away her parents were great her mom off the chain blunt to the point and very funny her dad was a hoot too the gang of brothers and wives funny as always Beppe foster parents and real parents I loved his relationship with both I don’t want to spoil anything but you should read this book or purchase it if you don’t already you will not be disappointed

I waited, not very patiently, Giuseppe and Amelia's story to be written. As you can read this book as a standalone....you shouldn't. understanding the history of these characters and all their families and friends makes this a great rollercoaster ride. This is a great addition to the series, said to be the last in the series, but really hoping its not. There so many secondary characters I hope will call to the author to get their time in the spotlight. Great Christmas gift the author gave to her fans this year.

This is one of the best.
Windows is definitely hands down the best, Euro Mafioso, but this is a close second.of course we waited so long for this couple, I had to go back to past books. The Story was a long time coming and I loved it. This seems like the final episode. Good seeing and remembering the initial character and a treat to catch up with their lives

Beppe and Mimi - Murano book 7
I always liked the Italian Knights and was happy that Beppe got to have his HEA although it was a close call. I enjoyed that their women could be so dangerous. Durante's wife is not the only sharp shooter in the family. And never poss off a surgeon.

So Worth the Wait!
I have been pinning for this story forever and Billy did not disappoint. Beppe in love was a sight to behold. He and Mimi we absolutely made for each other. I found myself wanting to savor the last knight to fall but I couldn't put it down. Kudos to you!

So good!!
I have been waiting for Beppe and Mimi’s book, and it was so worth the wait. I’ve loved Beppe’s character from the beginning, and I’m so happy he finally found his happily ever after, even though it was a journey to get there. Great end to an amazing series!!!

Loved This Story
I waited a long time for this book. I read all the other books in this series. I read this one twice because it was deserving and I was sad when it ended. Beppe and Mimi were great together. Billy is so talented. I want more Italian Knights.

As usual Billy you did it again. The gang was all there and I loved it. You can’t let it end. You gotta give a story on Argo.

Yeah This Is Good!!
Completely blown away!.Let me say that I'm totally out done by this story, every woman needs a little of Giuseppe that's for them and friends need someone like Beppe to back them up.This was one well thought out story ,with the reader in mind. There are moments when you are laughing so hard your side just ache and moments you sigh because it is just so so romantic and those sexy times you are like "let the good times roll"! This was such an outstanding addition to such a wonderful series that you are going to want to start from book one and read your way to this one. Take a second to take a look at this series and this story.

Waited for this one!
I usually don't leave a review. I just leave the stars but this one I had to leave my dime. One of the best books in this series! I couldn't put this my Kindle down. Just to get a story on Beppe! I love it. Billy London ...you did your thing! Mimi and Beppe was worth the wait and I love the fact that you put his story together so well. I did miss a lot of the guys but you still added them in this love story. Nothing like Rocco and Anna to be there when Beppe needed them. Had my mouth fall open a couple times. Not giving nothing away. You have to read this for yourself. It IS worth the wait. Well done Ms. London! Well done!

After a seven year wait...
This was a let down. The most entertaining member of the Knights got the lamest story. Their interactions were not as touching and poignant as Lydia’s and Tony’s. They lacked the warmth and cherish of Massimo, Duarté, and Rocky. Luca had more depth. With so much backstory bringing the threads together was a challenge and their story suffered.

After so much of looking forward to these two characters, I was a little disappointed in the storyline. Maybe it is just me and I became tired but I could not go no further than 18% of this book on my Kindle. I may return to reading it later but I was just disappointed and a little confused to interactions of Beppe and Mimi.

Spend your money elsewhere
This was the worst in the series. His story had such great potential he was so much fun to play with but she didn’t take advantage. My far best was tony and lyds

EXCELLENT READ!
This book was an utterly fantastic read! The twist leading up to the ending was so unexpected that I could not put the book down until completed. Beppe and Amelia were the perfect flawed couple and to see them work toward their HEA was excellent.
