This was a delightfully steamy and tense mafia romance. One dark mafia boss who follows his own code of honor, one damsel in distress who will do anything for her child, and oh the sparks that fly between them. Sergei might be a bad boy to the world, but I love how Evie brings out his softer side (even though that makes her a target). It's pretty clear these two should absolutely be together from the start - those sparks are just too hot to be wrong. I appreciated the danger and suspense woven in thanks to Sergei's life, and I got so wrapped up in the book that it felt strange when I reached the end. I can't wait to see what the next books in the series have in store!… (meer)

Trusted & True by Rhenna Morgan
Men of Haven #7

Loved returning to this series to see how the previous characters were doing and find out how Danny found his happily ever after. Interestingly enough…his HEA comes via a Haven Brother’s in-law…

What I liked:
* The idea of second chances
* Danny Parker: Haven brother taken in later in the series, artist, mechanic, custom builder of specialty cars, brother, learning about himself, sees something in Callie…
* Callie Moore: addict, clean for over a year, ready to tackle her past, sister to Vivenne who is married to Haven brother Jace, not the woman she once was…has a lot of baggage…hopeful for her future
* The true responses of those who interact with Callie in the beginning
* Callie’s strength and ability to cope
* The look into a world I hope to never have to deal with
* The “suspense” part of the story and how it played into the past, present and future
* Wondering how the bad guy will be dealt with in the future.
* The way the brothers stand for and with one another
* Wondering if this is the final book in the series or if there might be another one?
* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:
* The bad guy…a creep and a half and easily hate-able
* Knowing that addiction can be so harmful to so many…and the fallout from it

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review

"Trusted & True" by Rhenna Morgan

My Assessment:

Another excellent series, 'Trusted & True,' features Callie Moore and Danny Parker. Now I don't want to leave the rest of the Haven clan that gives the reader an incredible story. The author did a fabulous job of bringing these two main characters back together again after Danny had given Callie an 'ultimatum...get clean or don't ever ask for help again.' So as the story goes on, will Callie be able to change as she finally decides it is time to move on and get things straight with her sister? It was something seeing how Callie was determined to change her life. And as always, the Haven clan is there, especially Danny, to help her save her with their 'unyielding loyalty.'

Be ready for a little bit of it all, as the story will have emotions all over the place that deals so well with the healing needed in this story. Also, from the Haven family, genuine acceptance and forgiveness, and love make this read so awesome in its outcome. Would I recommend this read? Yes, along with the other six series that go so well with this read. The title fits so well with the story!… (meer)
