 Quickie Review-May Contain Spoilers, Fair Warning Upon Reading the Review

Nero is the first book in the "Alliance series" and I really had a blast with this one here. In fact, this was the type of mafia I wish that we saw much more often in the genre because these types of pairings really work for me. So Nero was such a delicious read. If you are fans of "Knight by Kristen Ashley" then I really think you will enjoy this one. It just had similar type of dynamics for the couple. And I soaked it up like a sponge. Also, this writing I could easily into so be prepared for a page-turner of a read. The sexual tension was pretty solid in this, but the execution of the sex scenes in this book were a little off. They just didn't quite fit to be honestly. Like we are talking pretty intense stuff and the heroine a virgin is completely on board and it just felt like the evolvement into those scenes could have been built up instead of suddenly there in bold flying colors (haha). However, I really couldn't get enough of this book and stayed up pretty late in the reading of this one and it definitely was worth it. So if you are looking for a book to just instantly get swept away by, then I recommend this one here.
