review 1: Throughout this series I was always wondering where the hell is this all going to go and end. I must say without ruining it this was a brilliant ending and so unexpected atleast from me and now it all makes sense! Just brilliant it explains every question or doubt throughout the entire series. And I must say I love Silvio even more after the ending of course I do wish there was maybe a little after but still ending was fitting and enough. A job so well done I do wonder where Franco is or Battista after all this but of course the rest is answered and also I wonder if shark is still shark :-) ~~ well done and written thank you for such an endearing, riveting, exhilarating and emotional read!
review 2: Mostly sex. Some good ideas and worth reading, just not a fav
... moreorite. Not enough showing in the story.This book is one chapter in a story. You need to read all five books to get the complete story. Below is my review for the complete story, not just this chapter.I like the unusual main character Silvio. He’s a gorgeous looking gay guy age 24 – a killer for hire. Stefano is head of a mob/mafia family. He’s young (33). He took over after his father’s death. Stefano is happily married, but he is attracted to Silvio at first sight. I enjoyed the conflict watching Stefano discover his bisexual nature with Silvio. I liked the happy ending in book 5.This book is mostly a lot of intense and lengthy gay guy sex scenes with back-door action and toys. Silvio needs pain during sex. There are also menage sex scenes with men, and one with two men one woman. If that’s your mood it’s probably good. But I skimmed most of those scenes. I like sex scenes in books, but I want a majority story, with a minority sex.The story was lacking operational aesthetic. We didn’t see how things were done, like how someone killed with a knife, the details during the sniper killings, the details about a bomb and how a character was saved from the bomb. None of that was shown. It was just telling after the fact. Silvio was haunted by something with Diego Carbone. I wanted to know details about that. We are told nothing.Minor problems:1. Too many characters had similar names beginning with S. I had to take notes to keep them straight. Stefano, Silvio Spadaro, Sergei, Sebastiano.2. Too many Italian words were not translated for the reader.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length (for five books together): 269 pages. Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: 13 or more. Setting: current day mostly U.S. with some in Italy. Book copyright: 2011-2012. Genre: Crime Suspense, Gay Male Romantic Suspense. less
