Sadly both families have their enemies and they have vowed to destroy both their families, It's so difficult to live a life on the edge, constantly looking over your shoulder, trying to protect the ones you love, I loved this story even though the anxiety level is high through the entire book, Be prepared for a marathon read, by: Jennifer

Serena is the princess of a crime family and Diego is a son in another family the two are in the same circle but don't really have anything to do with each other.
Diego has always been attracted to Serena and at an event he does actually get to speak with her for a very short moment.
Months later I believe its months, was kind of not clear Diego ends up saving Serena's life in a coffee shop, from there its a fight to stay alive for both of them and as they are unsure as to who is hunting them they aren't even sure what direction to look.
Will Diego and his family be able to keep Serena safe, or are they all in danger

Seeing as this is a mafia style story, I expect the H to be the uber alpha male type.
Diego was not this type, in fact there are times where I felt that Serena was more alpha male than he was, I found this to be missing something, I can't even tell you what, I keep wracking my brain as to what it is that I'm not getting.
In the end I found this to just be an ok story, and give it,stars. The addition starts with the book cover, yeahyeahyeah dont judge a book by its cover they say, well we all do it and this one here it is the scratch to your itch or better yet the filling to your oreos! Speaking of filling.

By the time youve figured out who is who and what is what, youre already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an allnighter!

Intense emotional broken heart stopping love story Wanted is the first book in the Men of Mayhem series by Kristen Luciani, and is a love at first sight, mafia romance.
There was plenty of drama, suspense, deception, chemistry and steam to keep the story intriguing,
In Wanted, Serena is the only daughter of the most powerful mafia family in Italy, Her beliefs and work ethics has stirred up the unwanted attention of another mafia family, causing the death of her mother, Tired of hiding, Serena risks going out for a coffee, only to be nearly taken out by a wouldbe assassin,
Diego is from the Moreno family, After the

death of his father, he blamed himself for missing all the signs and went on a violent rampage, seeking revenge on all those responsible for his father's death.
He's always had a crush on Serena, and meeting her in person only heightened those feelings, But he never saw or heard from her again after the gala, until two months later he feels her in a coffee shop and stops the attempt on her life.

This story was everything that a mafia romance should be, while also relaying a message on human trafficking and the dangers as it is real and a lucrative business in the black market skin trade.
I'm intrigued to hear about the rest of the Moreno brothers now after seeing how tight and family oriented they are, .
