Loving Dean
Mafia Generations # 3
By: Roxanne Greening
Release Date: November 10th, 2018

I wanted what everyone wanted, love, passion, and the perfect life. Instead, I found blood, death, and him…

Charlotte
I was tired of all the horrible guys in the world, like Gary. The kind of guy with fake promises that led to broken hearts. Life wasn’t simple, neat, or clean, and it was nowhere near perfect. I kept meeting this stranger in the weirdest places. All I ever wanted was to meet a man that was nothing like Gary. Maybe even have two point five kids. But, I stumbled into something I shouldn’t have, and that guy was my saving grace. He took one look at me and came to the rescue. Me, a complete stranger, well, maybe not so much a stranger. To secure my safety, I had to marry him, pretend to be in love, and bask in the whole happy fake life he promised me. But the ones who doubted us circled like sharks in blood infested waters.

Dean
I was the hitman in the Valisk Mafia family, and this woman kept appearing in my target’s lives. She was clumsy, sweet and sometimes lost in her thoughts. Basically, a jumbled mess of perfection. Everything about her screamed sweet and innocent. Definitely not my type. Then she stumbled into a hit in progress. And damn. The high-profile men in the room saw her as collateral damage. They demanded her to be taken out with a well-placed bullet and a grave deep in the forest. I couldn’t let her beauty seep into the soil and drift from this world. So, I tell them she’s mine, my fiancé, and soon to be wife. A lie I instantly regretted. I thought they would take me at my word and let us go free. Instead, they watched, and they waited. They are like bloodhounds on the hunt, and they tracked our every move. I knew one thing, I was going to prove to them and to her that she was mine. No one threatened what’s mine.

Will their lies be their fall? Will love blossom or will it flounder? How far are they willing to go to see the other survive?

Loving Dean is the third book in the Mafia Generations series by author Roxanne Greening. I believe this book can be read as a standalone romance, but I always like to suggest reading a series in order. Just know that in this case, it’s not necessary.

Loving Dean tells the story of Dean and Charlotte, and I quickly became absorbed in this fabulous story. The storyline is gripping, well-paced, and had a few twists along the way. I just loved the characters and were rooting for them from the beginning. I was so taken with the story that I read it in one sitting! A must read!

I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

Loving Marcus
Mafia Generations # 1
By: Roxanne Greening
Release Date: June 15th, 2018

He took me, imprisoned me, stole me from the one man who would drag you to hell.

Willow
Everybody has a shadow, but I have two, one shadow cast by the sun, and one cast by Marcus. A gift from my father Lark Carter. I wanted nothing more then to be a photographer, I wanted to find my place in the world, and carve out my own story. I should have known it wouldn’t be that easy, I should have known my real life would spill into my fantasy world. I’ve been fooling myself thinking I could be just like everyone else. They came for me the fools thought it was a good idea to take Deaths, daughter they were stupid enough to take me from Marcus, those two things were going to have the world exploding and people dying.

Marcus

She was a Carter, and not just any Carter, but Lark fucking Carter’s, daughter she was the daughter of death himself. Men hear his name and piss their pants. I was tasked with keeping her safe as she forced her puzzle piece to fit in the fake reality most people lived in. I wasn’t supposed to love her, to need her. I broke every rule. Watch her, keep her safe, kill any man stupid enough to touch her, and last but not least keep it in my pants. Check, check, check, and check. I’m a once and done kind of man, but Willow, she’s the exception to the rule.
The one I can’t and won’t let go of. They came for her, took her from me, and now there would be hell to pay. Her father was death, the one who sent you to hell. Me? I was the one who welcomed you to your new home. He was death, and I was the devil.

Will she find her place in the world? How far will he go to keep her? How many will die?

Loving Marcus is the first book in the Mafia Generations series by author Roxanne Greening. This book can be read as a standalone romance, although I do recommend reading The Valisk Family and Carter Family series. This will provide you with the background information to fully understand Marcus’s and Willow’s family’s dynamics. Just know that it is not mandatory.

I really enjoyed Loving Marcus. I loved reading about the Valisk and Carter kids, and seeing how the kids grew up. The story was suspenseful and full of drama. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!
