Her father wants more for his daughter and agrees to a marriage to a very powerful Don from Ultimo Morte. When the past threatens to destroy Raffaele and Evangeline’s future, it’s time for war!
My Review:
An explosive page turner that simply keeps the reader glued to every page. Confession time: I didn't like the character of Raffaele in the last book but he grew on me big time in this one. By chapter 3, I was remarking to anyone how much I liked Rafe!
The characters are alive with all the flaws and wonders like real people. Here again, one of the best authors in the 21st century has penned another fantastic book.
The actions scenes are taken in a different way at times which is a fresh approach. For all the action to have been detailed then the book would have been 50 or 100 pages longer. I might have given it 6 stars then...but that is just me...a big action fan!
The continuity is again superb. This book is even able to cross over, ever so slightly, to another excellent series. I had to check in with my Satan's Pride expert to get the gist of exactly who those members were and what they do.
Evangaline is another Mafia bride to be but one who is completely original from all the others seen in the Reign series. Kudos to the author for nearly unmatched originality and truly impressive continuity.
If you are a fan of the award-winning Dark Reign series, then this is a must read for you. If you are not familiar with A.G. Kirkham as an author *one might wonder what rock you have been living under*. I personally consider it a literary crime that this fantastic author isn't nominated for The Booker Prize. Great authors should be celebrated, and this book should be bought by everyone!

Author Biography:
I was born in a small town in Italy. My parents are loving people; and true traditionalists. I grew up being a chatterbox of a child and evolved into a quiet and shy teenager. I was definitely not the life of the party. As a matter of fact, I never wanted to go to any high school dances or any activities the school offered. I was good with being alone. I had to grow into my own and I eventually became the fun loving, open-minded and creative person I am now. I love the ‘me’ I have become and I am grateful that this is where I have landed.
Writing is my release and I have escaped in my imagination to some incredible places meeting the most awesome characters. I also wanted to be a rock star but anyone who has ever heard me sing kindly convinced me that I do not have any talent. (In other words, I suck at it.)
Although I have been writing since I was in grade school, and I am a hopeless romantic.
GUARD is the first book in a seven book series. In 2019, WAR (Book 2 in the series) will be launched. Each book introduces characters who you will learn about in the next series.
Why I write romance? I thrive on two individuals connecting in mind, body and soul. The understanding of wants and needs and placing them as a priority and not out of fear of losing them or because you feel you need to concede; you do it because it feels easy and right in your own heart.
My other passion is cooking! I enjoy making meals for my family and friends and bantering around the table. I have colourful people in my life and they all add to my rainbow. I love music! I like it all, depending on my mood.
And lastly, I love to travel. I want to enjoy all that life has to offer. I want to meet people, learn from them and create the most fantastic, sexy love stories. If I can do this overlooking the ocean and feeling the breeze wash over me then I have my heaven on earth.
Stay tuned for more novels in the Satan’s Pride motorcycle club and Dark Reign mafia romance series coming soon!
