Alessandro: Where Mafia Families Send Their Teenagers to Live or Die (Mafia Academy Book 1)

I absolutely LOVED this book!!! Being Italian myself, I could relate to some of the things in this book and that does include how even Italian girls/ladies can be hairy and not just the men if we don't take control of our faccia's Better known as, faces =) Loyalty and integrity was drilled into my brain since I was a kid so, even now as a 52 years young woman, they both mean everything to me. With that said, I loved the friendship and loyalty between Gia and Maria. The same goes for Alessandro and Marino, as well as the rest of Alessandro's crew. This book had everything you would want in a book.....excitement, humor, love, sex and intrigue, just to name a few. I'm always fascinated by Holly S Roberts creative mind and the books she writes. I also enjoyed Mr. Xavier's character and look forward to finding out more about him and his family. I'm extremely excited for the next book in this Series, Dante and I LOVE that I have a brand new Series to enjoy and anticipate! I definitely recommend this Series!!

First book to be read by the author Holly S. Robert's. In the beginning, it was good, but around the time Alessandro and Gia made a pact: It fell flat.

I really like this book and enjoyed how the characters became in tangled with each other and how their pasts influenced their present. I always enjoy mafia family rules and I like the idea of all of the offspring going to a special school to learn the tricks of the trade.

Just not for me. I love the author but like a good mature read.

I thought this story was cute, I loved how they challenged the norm and how the Rossi girl took on personas from acting! Such a good book!

A new series from one of my favorite authors! Such an amazing story….Ready for Dante!!!! Worthy read as usual, HOLLY!

An exciting start to a new series. Alessandro and Gia have been enemies throughout their high school years. Alessandro had a plan his senior year to exact his revenge against Gia. His plan starts to crumble after he sleeps with her. Will they be able to overcome their past feelings against each other and succumb to the new feelings they have for each other. I recommend this book you will not be disappointed.

I got sucked right in! I absolutely love this Mafia world Holly has created, from the Hotter than Hell series to the Mafia academy. There were some twists and turns inwas not expecting in Gia and Alesandro's story. Loved these 2 as much as I loved any couple in Hotter Than Hell. I don't think 3 stories will be enough for me in this new series!

Wow. Finished reading in a day!! It was fantastic! Loved the main leads and the secondary characters. And Mr. Xavier????? Hotness personified
