4-4.5 Stars!
What I love about the romantic thriller/romantic suspense genre is it’s not just a lovey-dovey romance. There’s always some action, mystery, suspense and plenty of heat. I like sweet, but I need some drama, some excitement and some grit. For Fallon had that. It was a love story, but it was also a story full of secrets, lies and betrayal.

She goes for the heartbreak, the dark and twisted stories and doesn’t dabble too much in the fluff. I knew that she would deliver something that I could wrap myself up in and get my heart pounding.

"Love must not suffocate, but breathe on its own."
For Fallon by Soraya Naomi was exactly the kind of story I was hoping it to be, and more! It was a fast-paced, suspenseful, steamy and action-packed read that kept me hooked from start to finish. From shootings and kidnappings to romance and flowers, this book has it all and it combined all the perfect elements to make for a intriguing and memorable romantic maffia suspense, but from a well know lover of the dark romance genre li ...more

First I would like to congratulate Soraya Naomi on her debut novel! She delivered a good romantic tale with suspense, action and thrills with every turn of the page.
I will start by saying that Luca DeMiliano is one of my fave male characters to date.
He is sexy in every way from his hair to his crisp suit wearing self! While oozing heat and sex appeal he has a coolness to his demeanor...very calm and smooth in his actions. He is a man on a mission, after all he is "in the family". ...more
