Ahhhh… there’s nothing quite like an organized crime novel written by Bethany-Kris. I tell ya, no one quite writes these stories of dangerous men and the women that captures their hearts like Ms. Kris does! Ms. Kris has this way about creating dark and, well, captivating men (and women really). I don’t know how she can explore this same genre time and time again… and yet she still gives her readers so many different stories, characters, and plot. I loved Joe and Liliana! Joe was completely fascinating to me! 


I loved how they both knew from the minute their eyes hit each other’s that it was it… they were what they had been waiting for. Liliana isn’t just a mafia princess. She dares to have her own dreams and thoughts besides the family. She has dreams to dance. It’s so funny to see how sheltered she was for being the daughter of Lucian. She’s so sheltered and in this sweet little bubble. Joe is an enforcer. He surrounds himself by shadows and the dark. I loved Joe… like he was wonderful and Ms. Kris has made him playful and sexy and so in love with Liliana.

Ms. Kris seriously captivates me… there’s no other way to say it. The way she creates her characters and tells her stories pulls me in every time. She’s a master word-weaver. This isn’t just any mafia story… Ms. Kris pulls the rug out from under your feet a few times. I love that no matter how many times I read her novels she can still shock me. 


The narrator Daniel James Lewis did a great job. I do wish this was narrated by both a male and a female narrator but Mr. Lewis did a decent job. I really enjoyed his accent.




SYNOPSIS:

A shadow meets the light …
When someone needs to disappear, the Chicago mob calls on Joe Rossi. A man who can move without a sound, and kill without a word, they don’t call him the Shadow for nothing.
This time, it’s a New York crime family in need of his skills, but it takes one glimpse of her to make him agree to the job.
Liliana Marcello is every inch a principessa della mafia. Her life has taught her to be wary of strangers, yet her ballet career contradicts everything by putting her on display.
It’s a man with a dark smile and a constantly changing demeanor that makes her feel safe again, but it’s the unknown that holds her back.
It takes one look …
One dance …
One word …
One smile to captivate a man.
And one second to kill a woman because of it, too.
Not all monsters hide in the shadows.
How are you supposed to see them coming?

BLOG TOUR: Kaznachei's Pain by V.F. Mason


She changed everything. And demanded it all.

Kaznachei's Pain by V.F. Mason is available NOW!
Amazon -- https://amzn.to/2QlrZbY
FREE with #KindleUnlimited



ADD TO YOUR TBR: http://bit.ly/Kaznachei

KaznacheiA long time ago, life was nothing but never-ending suffering.

The brotherhood welcomed me with open arms, giving me a chance even though I hated everything about it.

For years I lived on the edge of desperation, seeking solace in things that never gave me peace.

Until she showed up, changing everything…and demanding it all.

A beautiful yet stubborn FBI agent who made me crazy with every breath she took.

Unfortunately, her presence awakened the evils of my past that would not rest until they destroyed what I held dear to my heart.



Yes, whatever you are questioning when it comes to Kaznachei’s Pain by VF Mason… the answer is yes. This might just be my favorite of the entire series, which is hard to do because I’ve loved this group of Bratva and Cosa Nostra men and women. Now, I hope you pay attention to the #5 off to the right in the parentheses, so there are four other books that come before this one. I’d recommend reading every single one, in order. You might be able to just jump in, feet first here, but you will get so much more from this series and this book if you know the entire crew from the other books.

VF Mason seriously owned this story! It was more than I’ve come to expect from her books. I know the writing will be fantastic, creative and descriptive. The plot and storyline is always, always, so unique and entrancing. I love being transported to the mafia world. There are no people more loyal or selfless than these people… yet, there’s no people as dark and sinister as them either. It’s a fantastic mix that I get pulled into each and every time! Mason threw the mother of all twists into Kaznachei’s Pain and I was left seriously flabbergasted. This is definitely one fast-paced ride that has so many twists and turns I was left dizzy! 
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

About the Author:
V.F.Mason always loved reading books and had quite a few fights with her momma over the genre she liked (romance, duh!) She studied filmmaking and thought that would feed her desire for stories, but that didn’t happen. Finally, when she was tired of all those voices in her head, she sat down and wrote a book. It was a huge decision to make and she thanks her friends and family for supporting her in it. When she is not writing, she can be found with her friends doing all sorts of crazy things or reading recent romance books that were written by her favorite authors.

EXCERPT:

“Your place or mine?” As the words spilled from my lips, thunder echoed in the sky and I barely contained a grin.

Even nature was shocked with the FBI agent wanting to hook up with a Bratva member.

RELEASE DAY: Dishonored by Bethany-Kris


DISHONORED

by Bethany-Kris
Publication Date: August 6, 2018
Genres: Adult, Organized Crime, Mafia, Romantic Suspense


AVAILABLE NOW!

B&N: https://bit.ly/2uWOFXc


Dishonored is a book that you’ll need to take a breath every once and a while. It’s a brutal story. Now, if you’re a Bethany-Kris fan, and you should be, than you’ll know she often creates brutally, harsh stories. She breaks it down and gives you a real story with all kinds of feelings and heat. What I love the most about Ms. Kris’s stories... the brutality of the men and the women who love them... heck, they’re often just as brutal as the men!! 

Now Caesar is hard and crass, aloft and mean, but Aria challenges him and they dance to their own tune, albeit a bit of a dark one! The twist or backstory in this was... gah... I still can’t even handle it! I kind of understand Caesar’s attitude. I was so pulled into Dishonored. It’s a bit darker than I’m used to from Ms. Kris... I’m definitely not complaining! I loved the blood, the anger, the darker side she gave us of the world they live in. It was also so full of heat and promise between two unlikely characters. 

Ms. Kris continues to give her readers shockingly perfect stories. She’s thoroughly entertaining. Her heat packs a punch and is insanely hot! 


I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions. 



SYNOPSIS

Sex is his weapon.
Power is her drug.
Caesar Accardo is gasoline. Mostly harmless while stable, but Aria holds the match to set the dishonored Cosa Nostra prince on fire in more ways than one. And if he burns down everything in his path because of it—so be it.
The problem is … she just wasn’t prepared for all of him.
Aria De Rose is a hurricane. Amazing from afar, but destructive up close. Caesar keeps getting pulled into the Camorra queen’s plans in her effort to gain power, but he’s a better player than she knows.
The thing is … women like her are the reason why rules are meant to be broken.
Philadelphia isn’t ready for game these two are playing—the sacrifices they make might not be worth it in the end, and someone will always lose in a war.
They’re broken, so very vicious, and they are not the good guys. But for every villain in the world, there’s a monster at his back who made him that way.
And monsters like those hide in plain sight.

Note: This is a standalone romance with content that some might find triggering. Be warned, and read with caution.

Caesar had just come down the escalator at arrivals when the sight of someone waiting for him down below had his rage simmering damn near instantly. Of fucking course his father wouldn’t let Caesar come home to no one waiting for him.
He should have known better.
But shit, he was surprised to see the man who his father did send to wait for him. His half-brother—Daniele.
Was Angelo trying to start a war?
Because Daniele looked ready for it.
Caesar found that amusing.
That was half the problem.
“Caesar,” Daniele greeted when Caesar stepped off the escalator.
The hatred dripped from his half-brother’s tone. It almost made Caesar giddy—yet another person in his life that he had ruined in one way or another. Really, what Caesar had done to Daniele was just a by-product of someone else’s doings to him.
So was Caesar’s circle.
Vicious.
Cold.
And far too wide.
Everyone got caught in it.
Eventually …
“Papa sent you?” Caesar asked.
“Why else would I come? Others were busy.”
Or they made excuses.
“And you couldn’t be busy, too?” Caesar asked.
“I was told to get over what happened, and that starts with this.”
Right.
His half-brother was never going to get over what happened. Daniele was never going for forgive Caesar for what he did, or forget it. That was kind of the point, though. That was exactly why Caesar did it. He needed his brother to remember what he had done, and that he could do it again in a second.
Hell.
Maybe he would do it again.
Daniele’s gaze blazed with his blinding rage. “And unlike you, I make an effort to follow the rules our father sets out for us.”
Sure he did.
That’s why he was the favored one.
The golden Accardo son.
The honored.
The loved.
The perfect made man.
And Caesar?
He was the dishonored.
The despised.
The shamed made man.
And he fucked his half-brother’s wife just because he could—because like his father, Caesar enjoyed taking people down a peg or two, also.
He humbled people in a different way.
Caesar liked this way better.

Woah man! Michelle Brown was amazing! This was an ending of all endings! It was bloody and nasty… there was one scene that I just sat all slack-jawed for a few minutes. Brown is gritty and dark and if she keeps this up, she’s going to find herself in my group of favorite dark authors! I just can’t get over the darkness, the sinisterness of this book! I’m not going into it… The Reaper is a serious treat for dark romance lovers, for mafia loves.
