⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review from RaeReadsOX – “It’s steamy, hot, and leaves you wanting more!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review from Spellbound Stories Trish – “This story was an easy read and I loved the connection between them.”
In the mafia world, I’ve been underestimated my entire life.Men are elite. The cream of the crop, and well, women simply aren’t.
That was until the boss gave me a chance, now I’m invaluable and as deadly as any man.
So why do I let a man I had a one-night stand with play with my emotions?
He keeps on sliding his way into my heart, even though I keep trying to kick him right back out.
He knows my world, and he also knows my body.
But what he doesn’t know…
Is me.
And I’m not sure how much longer I can keep fighting him until he wins.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
This book is a short story. However, it sure don’t feel like one. I devoured this thing and loved every single second of it. This is the story of Piper and Ezra. Piper if you haven’t read these books is a bad butt woman. She can handle her own and then some. And sometimes better than any man. She is ruthless and in charge. She fought so hard with her family to get to where she is and Keir know that she is as amazing as she is. Ezra also does some jobs for Keir. He is an amazing mechanic and when they call on him he helps them out. He and Piper shared one night but really neither has forgotten it and now Ezra wants more. Will he get what he wants and tame the wild heart that Piper has? I can’t tell you any of that but I can tell you that you are going to have the best time reading this book. I loved these two individually and as a possible match. They fit to a tee.
USA Today Best Selling Author T.L. Smith loves to write her characters with flaws so beautiful and dark you can’t turn away. Her books have been translated into several languages. If you don’t catch up with her in her home state of Queensland, Australia you can usually find her travelling the world, either sitting on a beach in Bali or exploring Alcatraz in San Francisco or walking the streets of New York.
