Beautiful Bones
Roman Alessandro Rossi
Thirteen years ago, I squared up with the death toll due for my syndicate sins. I paid the painful price by losing what I loved the most. A debt settled that sent me spiraling, allowing the ghosts of past to lead the way.
Unbeknownst to me, interest had accumulated, and the toll is coming due again. Make no mistake, collecting on my future will result in spilled blood, bathing the Borgata scene crimson.
The underworld doesn’t need a hero, not even a warrior will suffice. For evil men have no fear for a gun or blade. To them, that is simply foreplay. Though, what they do fear is a monster. So, a monster is what I’ll give them.
Hennessey Allea Hightower
My nana always said that everything has balance.
Light versus dark. Night versus day. Heaven versus hell. Life versus death. Love versus hate. Friend versus foe.
I never really gave that advice much thought, that is, until Roman Alessandro Rossi. The man that embraces mortality. The one on intimate terms with his demons. The same one that, without words, speaks to me. Much like the ink covering his body, our connection is a haunted hook, luring me in.
What do you do when the scales tip, and you realize the balance to your life lies within the hands of a man that embodies evil? That’s simple… You go in search of the beauty beneath the bones.

4.4 stars
This series is really evolving between these interconnected characters. The author has done a good job at showing the criminal underbelly but also creating strong characters that fight for each other.
This is an author that deserves the recognition and the chance to cement herself in romance.

Love me some Bones!
All I have to say is you painted me a picture throughout this entire book that kept me on the edge of my seat. At times I would be in tears, would laugh and would get angry all in a matter of minutes. This is a whirlwind of a story and is a lesson learned to many. Take a seat, be prepared to turn your phone off and let’s introduce you to The Boneyard! I promise you won’t regret it!! I highly recommend it!!!

This book 😍 oh I love the twisted mafia guys and Roman takes the cake in this field!
Beautiful story telling in this book so that you understand to background of the characters but the story still moves forward.
Hennessy (best name ever) is a perfect match to Roman and makes you wish as he did that he cleaned up his act years earlier.
Cannot wait for the next book!
