Chasing Arlo

Genoa Mafia #5

by Ginger Ring

A mafia princess doesn’t belong with a lowly soldier.

At least, that is what Arlo thinks.

He’s used to women only wanting steamy one-night stands and nothing more. Not until, to his surprise, he’s pursued by none other than the mafia princess herself.

Layla makes it her mission in life to tease and flirt with Arlo endlessly. It’s been a cat and mouse game ever since they met.

But if she only knew the truth. If she knew all the things he has done for her family, it would both amaze and horrify her.

With Arlo, however, it’s all or nothing, so when a bombing from the Russian mob occurs and a possible threat from inside the family looms, he steps up to keep Layla safe.

With everything unraveling around her, Layla quickly realizes chasing Arlo and more importantly, keeping him might be the only thing that saves her life...

I thought Chasing Arlo was a really good book and I can't wait to read more I hope this isn't the last we see of the couple . This would be the second story that I've read by Ginger Ring but it's the first one that I'm reading of the series even though this being the first I wasn't lost but some minor spoilers do come up from the previous books in the Genoa Mafia series I'd recommend reading in order will be checking out more . Loved the heroine from the first time she shows up on the page really enjoy her confidence and not caring what others may think of her it was beautiful to see her blossom even more as the story went on . The hero was just WOW he held a part of my heart from the first page even though he did frustrate me with how he handled certain situations but over all he was a great hero . I can't wait to read more by the author and to read more in the this series I hope to see more from these amazing characters .

The fifth book in this amazing Genoa Mafia series, and one I have been desperately waiting for: Chasing Arlo.

We go back to when Arlo met his soul mate briefly and then back to the present day.

Layla & Arlo are the perfect match but true love never runs smoothly, Arlo is a private, quite man with a history that has shaped him and taught him to shield his heart, will Layla be able to break down his walls and prove he is worthy of his Queen.

Alongside the greatest romance between Arlo & Layla we get an amazing storyline between the Italian & Russian Mafia, so many twists and surprises.

Finally, the epilogue, wow this finishes off this book and the past books in the series perfectly! I hope history starts repeating and we get to read about the 2nd generation!.

OMG... I've been waiting for this book for a while now and I was super excited when it appeared on my kindle.
If you could see me, I looked like a kid at a candy shop...
Everyone knows that one of my favorite genres is Mafia.
I've read a lot of them and I can't get enough.
Ginger Ring has this freaking awesome series that you guys can't miss.
Her writing is hard, raw, forbidden, dangerous, and super hot at the same time.
Just give her a chance and see for yourself.
Chasing Arlo is her latest release and it's the fifth book from the Genoa Mafia series.
A series that I advise you to start from the beginning.
Just saying.
This new book explores the lives of Arlo and Layla.
Arlo worked his entire life for the mafia. His life is surrounded by crime and danger and he wouldn't change a thing.
When the beautiful Layla appears in his life...
Layla is a mafia princess that is used to have all that she wants. And she wants Arlo but can she have him?
Perfect like I knew it would be, well written and super intense.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to slap someone hard... Let's talk about some stubborn people... Jeez...
It was impossible to stop reading it, that's why I ended it at 4 am... I simply lost track of time.
It was one crazy and intense chapter after the other.
One minute things were one way and the next it all changed.
Betrayal, loss, crime, torture, and punishment are very present in this book as well as love, family bonds, loyalty, and hotness.
Hell yeah. We are presented with some hot stuff as well.
It was magnificent to have news from the characters from the previous books.
I loved to read more about them.
The worst part is that it's over. I wanted more.
Why Ginger? Why is it over?
Are you thinking of writing more about this series?
About Alexandre perhaps? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I know that the awesome Ginger Ring wrapped the Genoa Mafia Series up with a HUGE bang, but frankly, I'm truly not ready to let this go so pretty please give us a next generation Miss Ring! Arlo's past (which I'm not giving the deets about) have shaped into the man he is today. He's a reserved man who keeps his heart protected until Layla comes along with her battering ram to get through his walls, which is all that I'll say about that. This story was filled with so many twists & turns that I barely knew my own name by the end because of all the loud f-bombs that I dropped all over the place. With those twists (Mafia yo) comes heart racing danger, action in spades, and just an edge of your seat experience to be honest. To find out if love conquers all of this, you'll have to hit those one click buttons immediately! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

I just love me some mafia romance! Can't tell you why I love this genre so much, but, I just do!

This is my second novel by this author and I enjoyed it as much as the first. I love when a woman knows what she wants and goes after it. Even if he doesn't think he should be pursued. You go Layla! Arlo, get with the program, a heart can't stop who it lusts after!

I just loved this addition to the series and can't wait to find time to read them all!

I received an advanced reader copy, and this is my honest and voluntary review.

This is the 5th book in this awesome series and is Arlo and Layla’s story. Arlo has a past which has shaped him to become the man he is today, and Layla is the mafia princess who is determined to chip through his walls. This is a well written story which is filled with twists, suspense, danger, and love. I was hooked and intrigued throughout and highly recommend for all readers.

[Twilla Wickedly Sweet and Synful Book Blog · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed this suspenseful romance. I liked the strong message about family “ Whether it be by blood, honor, or marriage, we are all bound together forever” I liked that the heroine did the chasing. I enjoyed it. Strong secondary characters like Madison, Roman, etc were interesting. It wasn’t like the mob stories where they were a vengeful lot and didn’t care what the circumstances were. I was just annoyed at the heroines recklessness. I recommend this book.

Layla & Arlo makes a great couple. I love how Kayla goes after what she wants, no matter what it is. Arlo, always trying to do the right thing by her. What a great story! I loved it!

Thanks

This series was great but now that we have seen the kids plus tell us if Arlo’s daughter Angel and Roman’s son Joe will get together.

[Lisa Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow what a great series , hopefully there will b more in this series

[Haney Hayes Promotions · Rating 5 out of 5]

What do you get when you take a Mafia Princess and a Lowly Soldier? Why Chasing Arlo, of course! Ginger Ring did a fantastic job with this Mafia novel. Now, I’ve read multiple Mafia books, and I can gladly say this one is in my top ten. It’s got great character, and the storyline kept me completely entertained. I was always like just one more page. Then before I knew it was over and I was wishin’ for more. If you have read Ring, you’re missin’ out. You should grab this one and the rest of the Genoa Mafia series today!

[Cyrene Olson · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final book in this main series is a great way to wrap this one up and a worthy addition. Arlo is head of security for the family, and when a bomb takes out a boat, Arlo will step up to keep Layla safe. This family has always been strong and close knit, and it plays out well here. Many twists and turns will keep you guessing to the ending.

Although I’m sad that this book is wrapping up this main series, the epilogue in the back of the book was such a great touch and I “may have” needed a tissue or two. I am hoping that we can talk the author into something on the kids in the future, but for now, this is a great final book, and it’s a series to remember and re-read in the future.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Was in love with this book, I liked Arlo from the beggaring. There was just something about him but when the flash backs came you got to know more about him. There were times his stubbornness wanted to make you scream but then you wanted to be happy for him. It was a rollercoaster ride but seeing Arlo happy and in the future which "I won't spoil" as well the others it just brought a massive grin to your face. Would love to see what everyone's family's in the future.

[Gale Albright · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book to end the series. I really liked Arlo and Layla, they were a great couple together. I loved the last chapter and how we got to see how their lives have moved on and the children that were born to them, great series, fantastic and I’m looking forward to reading other things that she writes.

[Gerry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow this was a really really great book. Being raised by Italian grandparents much of this book brings back so many memories.. Loved all the detail and especially the ending... which just about brought me to tears. Can't wait to read more. Highly recommend reading.

Tough men soft with love

Life was never easy for Arlo but even when things were hard it only took one person to give hope. Another great read and totally engrossing till the end.

[Joan Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

From killer to lover.

Saved the best for last. The twists and turns of this story was hard on my heart. The strength of each character was brilliant. The ending was surprising. I couldn't put the book down. This series was so awesome.

[Judy · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a beautiful love story set within a mafia war! I thoroughly enjoyed it and only wish I had found the other books in the series first. This is a new author for me and am so glad I took a chance on getting this book! Definitely worth reading!!!
