I love a good mafia book and add in a hot alpha Mafia son, I am all in. Katrina has grown up with an abusive mother, her life has been far from easy. The only thing she can rely on is her brother Drew. Drew loves his little sister and wants to make sure that she finishes school, get out of their home town and go to college. Katrina was working on that plan, until her abusive mother, pushed too far. It is up to Drew and his friends to come to the rescue. Cole Knight knew he wanted Katrina and this time, he is claiming her as his, and he will NOT LET HER GO.I loved this book from the prologue to the end. It was a fast, interesting, fun and hot as hell read. Kat is not a little mousy type girl; she is feisty, down to earth and is no push over. When Cole decides Kat is his, unknown to her, she does not bow down to his majesty that easy.“I can’t hook up with you, no matter what my body is saying to me. My brother would f****** flip.”“Your brother won’t say s***. He answers to me, not the other way around. When I want something I go for it, and Kitten I want you, so I will have you.”“Do you think you might ask me what I want.”“Kitten, I’m letting it be known that I want you as my girl, meaning you have the backing of the Knight family. That’s how this works. Nothing you can do about it, but I’m willing to move slow with you. It’s the best I can give you. Because, you will be mine.”Cole and Drew take Kat to stay at the Knights home where her life changes forever. I really had a hard time with Kat’s mother’s attitude and rage toward her. I really wanted to reach into my kindle and hurt her, and that is a lot for me considering this is A MOM. Luckily I did not have to do that since Kat had 2 alpha males ready to lay down the law to defend her against ANYONE.“Say something you little whore.”“What the f*** b****. Why are you so hateful to your own daughter?”“Take all this in, boy. She’s a slut and will do nothing but bring h*** to your life.”“Do you f***** know who I am, you stupid b*tch? My name is Cole Knight. If I ever hear you talk about Kat that way again, someone will cut your tongue out to guarantee you never say another bad word about her.”Cole takes Kat to stay with his father Bruce, his sister Juliana and brothers Justin and Seth. For the first time Kat has a family, and family that she loves and will protect. Things have changed for Kat as well, being known as Cole Knights ONE brings danger and threat. Kat is funny, feisty and does not get the danger she is in and doesn’t appreciate being treated like a child. This is the part where Cole and Drew will not let Kat get her way.“F*** no! She won’t go anywhere without protection.”Are you kidding me? I have to have a body guard? First you insist I be your girl, and now I have to a bodyguard. F*** my life.”“Do you have manners?”I’m not his slave or employee. I’m his girl. Remember? I get special treatment.”“She is free to be her own person, but she will have a guard at all times.”The communication between the characters is so funny, I laughed so many times in this book. Drew, Cole and Kat have an easy going relationship, it is natural, they just fit. They are able to be themselves, despite the nature of the family business and the danger that is always lurking.“Jesus, Kat. Why don’t you just screw him back there?”“Because he has five months before that happens.”“Wait, what?”“Um yeah, part of me agreeing to date him is he has to wait six months before I will sleep with him.”“This is f****** priceless. My little sister has you p**** wiped.”“Laugh it up a******.”“Ignore my douche of a brother. He wouldn’t know what to do with a real woman,”DO not think just because there is no one sleeping together there are not some hot moments BECAUSE GOOD LORD IF NOT HAVING SEX WAS LIKE THAT, I WOULD BE DOING IT TO!!“Get naked, now.”“Cole.”“Trust me, Kitten. I just want to taste you all over, you’re still safe. Take it all off, Kitten.”“Please”“Please what Kitten.”“Please eat me.”“Come for me.”When the only family Kat loves is taken, Kat will do anything to get them back. Kat shows no fear, just pure rage, she knows that Cole and the Knights are her family. She will fight to keep them safe. Cole does not mind Kat’s feistiness at all, in fact it turns him on to see his girl fight for THEIR family.“That was hot as f***.”“You should have let me kill that b****.”“Strip out of those clothes rocky.”“F*** you!”“I wish you would.”“It’s okay we’ll get them back.”“I want them both back, but if they’re hurt, I will kill someone.”This book was so good, it has romance and a side of suspense. We watch Kat accept the love of Cole and of the Knight family while she tries not to lose herself. We get to the end of the story and of course I’m slapped with a CH. I am not mad, because I see why the author had to end it this way, I just need book 2, like stat. You need to pick this one up. Believe me you will not be sorry, it is a fun, steamy and a really exciting read.*Received a complimentary copy in exchange for honest review*
