About the author

After becoming something of a romance fiend, Stephanie Kazowz decided to try her hand at writing some good old-fashioned love stories. Never one to narrow her focus, she plans to write the banging multiverse, weaving as many tropes and subgenres together as her smut-loving heart can handle—and it can handle a lot.

Stephanie lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with her husband, three bonkers babies, two codependent dogs, and two cats who are perpetually staring at her like she betrayed them by bringing the motley group home.

ARC provided by author with no expectation of review.

I have been a fan of Sasha and Luca from the first book. There is so much to like about this couple. The Heroine is fun, sassy, and strong. She is flawed as we all are but there is something wonderful about her confidence. The "Hero" is easy to love despite his many sins. When it comes to Sasha he is unapologetically in love. He wears his heart on his sleeve for her but everyone else had better tow the line.
All three books are well written. The timelines are thought out and easy to follow. The stories are not just entertaining but nail bitting at times.
If you like Mafia Romance at all this series is a must read. The author is spectacular.

I love it when a couples' journey just wraps up so neat and we finally get that HEA we were praying for through the whole ride.

Sasha and the Heir was the perfect end to Sasha and Luca's trilogy (although there are more books to come in the series), with the cliffhanger from book two worked through over the course of the book.

Sasha is the perfect example of a strong heroine who I seriously could be besties with IRL. Never backing down throughout the whole series, she showed strength and truly gave the 'touch him and you die' vibe. Again, like the previous books, she shows time and time again a level of courage that we don't often see in heroines, and even when in perilous situations, she's never the damsel in distress, she will 100% slice you up if you even think about doing her, her family, or Luca over. While her behaviour may seem reckless to outsiders, with her inner dialogue and a fully rounded sense of her character, there's never moments of frustration with her and you're just cheering her on the whole time.

Luca being ever the cinnamon roll, was precious as always. Truly dedicated to loving his wife and his family, he is just so full of love, appreciation and adoration. I loved that he was able to embrace Sasha's bravery and her actions throughout the story without acting like he's being emasculated or controlling her behaviour. That I can support forever.

Overall, I truly enjoyed every moment of the trilogy and felt a connection even with all of the side characters, making me eager to continue the series even though Sasha and Luca's story has wrapped up. With a wide array of characters within the Moretti family, and considering that Sasha and the Butcher was Stephanie Kazowz' debut novel, I'm so unbelievably impressed that over the course of just three books, all of these characters have had some exploration and we've managed to build a connection with them all.

I truly wish her all the success in the world and I can't wait to see what's coming next!!

This is the third book in The Moretti Family series picking up where book two left off these two met in the most unconventional way, once she learned the truth it was too late her heart was already involved so them start an adventure and have fought for something so much more, but betrayal Sasha is determined to prove her husband’s innocence. The thing I love about all three books is that the two of them have flaws and they allow them to show but it is those flaws that give them the strength they need to get through the pitfalls that are thrown their way and yet another is proving her husband is innocent is the adventure we are taken on in this as well as prison life for him but the questions are why is he in prison, who had a hand in landing him there, why do they want him locked up, will she save her man all while looking fabulous, and do they finely get the HEA they have fought so hard for, do they get the peace they seek?.

I feel like there was so much happening in this book, but I only want MOREEEE. I really enjoyed watching Sasha carve her place in the familiy, and was risking it all for Luca. Like FINALLY let the boys know that the girls can also play and get shit done. This book had me gasping so many times, and theres also so many loose side story ends that I hope we get some more books just from this family. I NEEEDD ITTT. I need to know about Frankie's new love interest, I want to know more about Alicia and if Mickey is going to be okay, AND I NEED TO KNOW WHERE IS THE BODY!?!?!? SO GOOD, I had so much fun with this series, and I loved the connection that Sasha and Luca had. GET YOU A MAN THAT IS OBSSESSED WITH YOU!!!! AGHHH! I need more, and yes I will read the novella's even the one with Dante even though I HATE HIM. I'm doing it for Rosa, the queen!

I have absolutely loved this series and my time with Sasha and Luca. Although it's a romance, it has a lot of mystery and suspense to it as well as a lot of scenes that leave me laughing and smiling. Luca has been a perfect Hero throughout all three books, being a devoted, caring and protective husband even when he is in prison for the start of their marriage. Sasha has always been strong, independent and fierce in her beliefs and we get to see her in action as she puts these same traits to use in helping her husband. I'm sad to see this series come to an end but can't wait to see what Stephanie Kazowz writes next!

This final book in the series proves Sasha's loyalty to Luca. After Luca is wrongfully arrested she does everything in her power to get him released.

Sasha has changed so much from the first book. She became the perfect wife of a capo. These two are soul mates and it definitely shows that in this book. Nothing can break these two apart, not even all the distance that is forced upon them. Definitely check this book out if your a fan of mafia romances! You won't be dissapointed.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of these books in this series. This book doesn't disappoint either. Continuing to follow Sasha and Luca's story remains a page turner. I still love the spunk that Sasha has and how she takes no grief from anyone and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. The way the story continued throughout all 3 books was great a flowed well with this book having a great conclusion. Keep up the great work!

Love the plot in this series! I’m happy the author took her time bringing Luca home. However, It was a bit of a shock to see how fast Sasha changed and became morally grey. She is not the woman from the first book at allllllll


The book says there’s another book coming but I feel like it could be left here. We don’t know where Lorenzo is but honestly, who gives a damn? Let them live happily ever after

I couldn't put this book down and was exhausted by the end from the heightened excitement of Luca and Sasha's story. The action rolled from one page to the next keeping me on the edge with anticipation of what was going to happen next and I loved it.

This book absolutely brought it home! I am obsessed with Sasha.

Luca is in jail and Sasha is left to support their family and their business in his absence. She also has to balance trying to get Luca free.

The majority of this book, Luca and Sasha are separated but I still loved it so much. I loved seeing Sasha become more powerful as Luca's wife. It honestly felt like she was the don of the mafia and the people followed her. She was an absolute BADASS! It was absolutely everything.

The one frustrating this was the other woman drama with Luca but I loved that Luca was not about her and Sasha immediately put her in her place. AMAZING. I literally could not get enough of this story. It was incredible.

I would absolutely read this whole trilogy again but definitely this last one. I also need Marco to get his own book!!
