SMOKE & MIRRORS

by K.R. Bankston

Dezi Gianni has spent twenty plus years rebuilding his empire, becoming even more powerful than he’d been before. Though the life of luxury and privilege that people only dream of never faltered, Dezi was not fulfilled. There was still that one loose end, and Dezi Gianni was not the kind of man to leave things unresolved.

Determined to reclaim the essence of that which he loves more than his own life, he sets out on a dangerous journey back to the very soil he was once legally excommunicated from. The threat of arrest and prison looming over his head is not a deterrent.

Dezi has no plans of leaving empty handed this time however, and heaven help anyone or anything, that gets in his way. When Dezi Gianni returns to his expansive mansion estate carved in the hills of the picturesque township in Bermuda, his life will begin anew. The once loose end will be secured and Dezi Devastator Gianni’s world will once again be absolute.

This book is rated for mature readers only. It contains frank sexual interaction, explicit violence, and crude, adult, language. Reader discretion is strongly advised for those easily offended.

There are not enough words to describe the ride that KR Bankston takes you on. I have truly enjoyed the Gianni Series. Dezi G by far is one of the most breath-taking, mysterious, lovable, shrewd characters that I've read. Dezi took my thoughts down a road that was unexpected and simply exciting. When Dezi Gianni speaks, he means business. If you have never read any of Kr Bankston books, trust me, you will not be disappointed. I'll say it again, if you looking for a story that will take hold of you and won't let you loose, the Gianni Series is the story for you.

Once again KR Bankston you did great job. Without telling the story, the ending is as it should be.

Kr had done it again! This book was just as good if not a little better than the others...I loved every moment of it....Kayla managed to get my sympathy in this book! Everyone knows I dont like her so it must have been some real foul stuff going on for me to feel bad for the huzzy...LOL! Dezi is back and all hell is about to break loose. I cant wait for the next installment...If you have not read this series you are seriously missing out....#GetAddicted!

I guess you could say from the first book I have been pulling for Dezi.....eventhough I thought he was crazy as HELL.....I felt he did love Kayla and would never hurt her.....Smoke and Mirrors ended the series really well or will the Gianni Legacy continue.......but still a GREAT ending to the series.....

I never thought I would find myself wanting the bad guy to get the girl, but in this series of books that was indeed the case. After 20 long years of being apart Dezi and Kayla is finally together but the twist is she doesn't know it's Dezi. This book is a must read.

Dezi is back and more deadly as ever. I for one thought this was the end of the series, but I was wrong. Great book.
