1. 

P.S. It's Always Been You by Lauren Blakely

Lauren Blakely always makes it to my lists, her books are filled with great storylines and this book in particular had me intrigued from the very start. It has everything, from romance to solving a mystery that turns out to be a great adventure for the main characters. It was a fun read that I would highly recommend.💖🌎

2.

The Breaking Season by K.A. Linde

I loved K.A. Linde's Cruel Series last year and I couldn't wait to read this year's Seasons Series. The Breaking Season is the perfect marriage of convenience story between two Upper East Side villains, Katherine and Camden (characters that we are introduced to in the Cruel Series). It's steamy, romantic and it has a great ending! 🔥😍

The Honest Affair by Nicole French

4.

Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

I've been meaning to read this book for a while and didn't disappoint at all. Great royal romance with a great twist in the end. 👑😍

5.

The Ruthless Knight by Jeana E. Mann

This was a much darker story, full of suspense, mystery and lots of secrets. It definitely has some very interesting moments between the characters as they face the Columbia cartel and they have to rely on each other to make it out alive. It's a rollercoaster of emotions from beginning to end. Would highly recommend checking it out! 🔥

7.

My Brother's Roommate by Kendall Ryan

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Kendall Ryan, her stories are always sweet and full of emotions. Everyone is going to fall in love with Wolfie, he is a kind and totally swoon worthy!

8.

Van by Melanie Moreland

I couldn't decide between Van or Sandy to add to my list, so I have added both for different reasons. Van completely stole my heart, he has so much love to give and out of all the books that I've read this year, he is the best hero/male protagonist by far. I would highly recommend checking out the Vested Interest Series, you are not going to regret it! 💞

9.

Mafia Casanova by M. Robinson and Rachel Van Dyken

I love a good mafia romance and Mafia Casanova was favorite this year! It had me hooked from the very start, the characters are magnetic and have an undeniable chemistry to have you reading until the very end.

10.

Sandy by Melanie Moreland

This book surprised me in the best way possible, it was emotional and heartwarming. I can't say how many time I might have cried while reading, it was such perfect. You do need to read the rest of the Vested Interest Series to get a full grasp of Sandy's story and how she got to where she is. But you are going to love it, this book concludes the whole series and it does perfectly. I wouldn't change anything about it and the ending was everything. A must read! 😍

My Review:

I’ve read and loved books by the authors separately, but this collaboration was truly explosive. Rachel Van Dyken and M. Robinson delivered a mind blowing mafia romance that will grip you and never let go.

In Mafia Casanova we get to meet, Romeo Sinacore, he is the family’s personal assassin and viewed to be cold hearted. He has a lot of blood on his hands, but he is good at what he does, getting the information that he needs while protecting his family. But if there is anything Romeo doesn’t do is relationships, happily-ever-afters. He only pleasures women without getting attached. But underneath the persona he portrays, Romeo has always had feelings for only one woman, Eden De Rossi. From the minute he saw her, she became his whole world and he has since then done everything he can possibly do to keep her at arms length. Although she is aware of his job, Romeo thinks that her soul is not tainted like his and that she deserves better. Little did he know that by keeping her away, he would set path of no return. It would take a turn of events to change their lives forever. Now he has to find a way to truly fight for the love of his life before it’s too late.

Eden De Rossi is no stranger to the mafia life, she grew up with the Sinacore brothers, Tristan and Romeo. She learned how to fight like them and knows that it’s because of that, that her life will always be a target to the enemies. She never expected to fall in love with Romeo, to care for him so deeply that seeing him with other women hurt her the most. Yet, Eden knows that deep down he cares about her enough to let her go. It would take a roller coaster of events to change the course of their lives, her only hope is that they get a second chance once and for all.

I absolutely loved this mafia romance! It had me hooked from beginning to end. It’s been a while since I’ve read any mafia books at all, but the authors did a great job giving us some background story as well as great character development. Eden and Romeo’s chemistry is off the charts right away. They tease and banter all the time, giving us a sense of how close they are to each other. But in the Italian mafia, family is everything as well as loyalty and trust. Eden would learn what’s really like to be involved with such a dangerous family and what they would do to their own if loyalty is broken. The amount of twists and turns in the story had me at the edge of my seat, definitely didn’t see them coming at all. The ending is what got to me, it was sweet and everything I wanted and so much more. I would highly recommend checking out Mafia Casanova, you will not regret it. I cannot wait to read more from the authors in the future! :)
