I can’t find the words to explain how much I loved this series 🥹
Stop what you’re doing and go and read this series right now!!
It is absolutely incredible! Defo recommend taking your makeup off and getting the tissues ready, it will hit you in all the feels and you’ll choke on your tears just like I did.
Even as I write this review I’m crying a mixture of happy and sad tears… happy because Hudson and Mia got their happy ending but sad because this story has ended, I’m already missing the world that Brooke created!! 😢
This series was a whirlwind of emotions, one second I was laughing, the next crying and then the next I was swooning.
Hudson stole my heart. His love and protectiveness of Mia knew no bounds. Him and Mia were destined to be together and nothing would ever keep them apart.
I’m at a loss for words right now, I loved this story so much and fuck it hurts that it’s over. If you’re going to read anything, read this series!! 🤍

I don’t even think I have the words to convey every single emotion thought or feeling I had with this book. The love these two have for one another. The strength Mia has is unmatched the love that Hudson has and the lengths he would go to to protect Mia. The side characters aren’t even side characters they are family. This book is both gut wrenching heart breaking tears running down your face and beautiful in so many ways. One of the best read of 2022 for me.

Ok so this whole trilogy was a hell of a roller coaster!
Mia and Hudson are the epitome of “made for each other” even if they’re scared! Instantly drawn to each other, they can’t seem to shake how they feel regardless if their parents are married or not!
He’s the Kingpin, she’s the school girl lol two completely different worlds.
Together they face heartbreak and betrayal and grieve so many of their family and friends it’ll make your heart break!
Some of the dialogue and the reactions of Mia seemed a bit juvenile but as long as you keep In mind that for most of the series Mia is either 18 or 20? You should be able to get over it.
There’s sooooo many twist and turns that my brain kept bouncing though the pages! great read all in all.

I can’t recommend this series enough! The fact that it’s packaged together in a nice box set is a huge advantage for readers. Mia and Hudson are drawn to each other when they meet during a night out but don’t get to completely connect. Once they see each other again, they’re step siblings!! So it’s turned into quite a forbidden romance, not to mention they are complete opposites. Turns out Hudson is a dangerous guy and Mia gets put through the ringer due to the fact that she is connected to Hudson and she’s who he cares about. There’s a ton of action, heart wrenching scenes and so much steam between Hudson and Mia. This series has it all!!

The whole story of Hudson and Mia amazing, I read the first book and was completely hooked. Reading the three together was a bonus, the betrayal came as a complete shock and the lies just kept mounting. Protecting their own is what they do and it rings true as they are not the only ones who work this way as Hudson and Mia find out. I cried in certain parts of this as it balanced the ups and downs, the characters were made in book heaven so much so I could see them playing out scenes. I can't praise and recommend this book enough. I voluntarily reviewed this book.

This boxset is a hell of a rollercoaster, each story in the series is amazingly put together. It's so easy to read and I got hooked from the first book in the series. Amazing and wonderful characters, great word building and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This author is fantastic and I love her style of writing. I recommend this book. I received an ARC for my honest review

This was my first series by this author. I got the first book on Amazon stuff your kindle day and then purchased the rest as I was drawn into the story and needed to know how it ended.
I really enjoyed this series - for me the price is 🌶️🌶️
At the most, but actually I didn’t mind that at all as I became engrossed in the story.
Great read and thoroughly enjoyed it

When two worlds collide we get the kingpin series. It shouldn't workout between Mia and Hudson. They have an instant connection and their chemistry is epic. You'll find a little bit of everything wrapped up in this nice bundle. Brooke knows what she's doing when it comes to mafia romance.
