Review: This story has been previously released as part of the An Unconventional Chicago anthology by Totally Bound Publishing.

You need to read the first book in this series because if you don’t I can tell you that you will get lost. Moran and Dutch have been fighting a war and trying not to get killed. When Dutch is captured and taken away from him, he fears that he will be killed. So from that time on he had decided to let the man go. It was the only way he could protect the man he loved and his sanity. The problem was Dutch was not going to let that happen.

I had a blast with this story, in fact probably more than the first one. There is so much passion in these two men, that you can’t help but to be captivated by them. Dutch loves Moran so much, that he will risk his life to see him and to hold him one more time. Whereas Moran is just trying to keep Dutch safe. So when Moran is injured, they both know that things have to change.

It was told with so much heart that makes this story explosive to me. I love the way they mingle and fight with trying to keep the other safe. I also love how they are willing to risk all to be with each other. When they get together, the place goes up in smoke from the flames of their passion. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I couldn’t stop reading even if I wanted to. It gave me everything I could possibly want in it. I would recommend this to everyone, but start with the first book so you will know what they fight for.

It will give you sexy men, men with guns, excitement, adventure, hot sex, and lots of danger. What more could you possibly want in a story.

Blurb: Can their love overcome the danger coming their way, or are they doomed to die?

Georgio is the third son in a powerful mob family, but he has never agreed with their violent or illegal ways, so he joins the resistance in an attempt to right the wrongs that his family has done. But, by doing so, he puts himself at great risk of getting caught. And if he is, his older brothers would have no problem ordering him executed, their sibling or not.

Tito is a runner for the family. While he hates the gang, he has a sick brother at home to take care of, so he has to take the job because it pays so well. The last thing Tito expects is to form an attachment to Georgio.

While Georgio tries to deny his feelings for Tito, he finds himself drawn to him as well. But, if they were to be caught together, they could be killed on the spot. Will their love be able to survive so many obstacles? Or can they find a way to happiness?

Review: This is book three of the Unconventional Chicago series and I have to tell you that it was one hell of a great read. These books can be read as a standalone story.

I was amazed with this story even though it had me tasting for more. It left me wanting to know more about what was going on and wanting to know if Georgio and Tito make it out alive. It left me hanging with that. The characters were not only beautifully written but there was so much strength in them all.

Tito needed money to keep his brother safe and healthy. His brother needed a doctor and soon. He knew the only way to get that kind of money was to become a runner for a mob boss. What he had not expected was Georgio. Georgio was one of the brothers who ran the mob business.

However, he was not a bit like them. He wanted a way out and he knew he wanted Tito with him. Talk about surprises when Tito and his brother go to the resistance and find Georgio there along with his best friend. They had a plan to get out, now if only they could stay alive to do it.

I couldn’t believe that there are people out there that actually go through this, but you know there is. I loved how Georgio tried to keep his people safe, even if it meant betraying his brothers.
I loved this story. It gave me the perfect amount of angst, danger, pain, love, and fear. It gave me everything I could want in a story and in fact, it gave me even more.

I would recommend reading this book, you won’t be disappointed. My attention was caught with the first sentence and kept it there all the way to the end.

Farris O’Laughlin has been back in Chicago for five years. He’d spent thirteen years before his return in a mental asylum after his brother had him committed for ‘insanity’. Farris plots revenge in the way he knows will hurt his brother the most—bringing down the family business.

Darien Shaunessy is Farris’ new driver and guard. He’s around to keep Farris in line…or so Farris’ brother thinks. Darien has his own reasons for working for the O’Laughlins, but Farris wasn’t part of his plan.

When two men from different parts of the city come together, powerful men could lose their wealth and control. And the lovers could find bravery they never thought they possessed.

Review: This story has been previously released as part of the An Unconventional Chicago Anthology. It was an amazing story but would be better if it had been longer. I want to know what happens to these two sexy men. It is a fascinating story with a lot of action and suspense that left me wanting for more.

Farris was supposed to the head of his crime family, but after his brothers betrayal he had spent several years in a mental institute. He had been beaten and tortured in there. His heart was full of hatred for his brother and wanted revenge. The betrayal was the only way his brother could have what he wanted.

Darien knew he needed to find Tomas’s lover. Farris was the only one who could help him find the missing brother of a friend of his. Farris’s brother had told Farris that he had killed him, but in truth, he did something much more evil. He however had not expected to fall for Farris. Although he thought that maybe being in an institute might have made Farris just a tad bit insane.

This story was a blast to read but for me I want to know more. I want to know what happens next, the dang thing left me just hanging. I hate that when it does happen. It was an amazing story and I will be spending my time reading more of T. A. Chase’s books.

I would recommend reading this if you love sexy men, feisty and craziness, betrayal, hot sex, twist and turns and danger. The only problem I had was the fact that it seemed rushed and pushed together. I can’t wait to check out the author’s site to see if there will be something more of these two sexy men.
