All of Them: A Second Chance Dark Mafia Romance

by Lina Beck

Some stories begin long after the first chapter…

Alisa
Dreamer. Liar. Survivor.
Once a chaser of fairy tales, Alisa Galkin watched the underworld collapse and took the fall with it. The man she almost married ran. The one she rejected stayed, but at a cost they both still pay. Rescued but far from whole, she hides in Sicily, in a house that isn’t hers, surrounded by people who see too much. In Enzo Artuso’s gaze she glimpses a future, but loving him means facing the pieces of herself she has tried to bury. Her family wants her home, but the walls of her past hold every nightmare she can’t sleep away.

Enzo
Second choice. Runaway. Fighter.
Lorenzo “Enzo” Artuso crossed an ocean to escape his family’s complicated past. He built a life of his own, but every breath still feels shallow. Until the day he first met his heart. He let her go, stepping aside, only to watch her lose everything to a man unworthy of her. No more. He will take over, shaping his faith anew and remaking himself into a dreamer if it means she gets to be his dream.

All of Them
The Galkins are stronger than ever, but faceless enemies still stalk them. The underworld remembers, and it adapts. Old wounds reopen, feelings resurface, and time runs thin.

Will Alisa and Enzo claim their second chance, or will their story end darker than the fairy tales they once believed in?

The second book in the Beyond Ties series is a dangerous blend of dark mafia, second-chance romance, tangled alliances, found family, multiple POVs, and fan-favorite returns. A high-stakes slow burn with soft moments, heavy choices, and scenes that cut deep.

Best read in order. Trigger warnings apply.

All of Them is not your everyday mafia romance. Enzo and Alissa’s story begins right where we left off in One of Them. Alisa and Enzo were finally getting close, only for her to be kidnapped and Enzo poisoned. He wakes days after her kidnapping stuck in a hospital bed, all he can do is think of how to get her back. By pure will, and the help of pain killers, Enzo leaves the hospital and is able to get information that helps them find where they have been holding Alissa. She has suffered mental torment for days with no contact with her kidnapper and only her memories to occupy herself. When she is rescued Enzo takes Alissa to where he grew up in Sicily. She exists between fitful nights of sleep and nightmares. She slowly starts to heal with the help of Enzo and the quiet presences of Dario. When Siciliy is no longer safe, they return to the states and she faces her family. Everyone gathers at the Galkin home for a meeting Taya has called of everyone she trusts to track down those responsible. They track down and destroy those involved in Alissa’s kidnapping. After, they return to Sicily where Alissa and Enzo get married. It may have taken years and many obstacles, but they fought hard for their happy ending. I loved seeing Taya’s pov and how her past is intimately intwined with what is happening to her family now. The emotional healing, twists and unforgettable character all are woven beautifully together creating a world you won’t want to leave. The additional point of views of other characters adds depth and keeps you guessing on how the story will unfold.

A Few Favorite Quotes:

“Time was irrelevant before I met her. Now, every minute felt like I should break it into seconds to make them last.”

“Love isn’t worth giving if you aren’t receiving it from yourself first.”

“Take what you need from me,” he said, quieter this time. “Leave me with nothing or everything, but let yourself be free, Alisa.”

“From.” He thrust. “This.” He pulled out. “Moment.” Thrust. “On.” Pulled out. “You.” Thrust. “Have.” Pulled out. “Your forever.” Thrust. “Right here, in me,” Enzo whispered into my ear, burying himself to the hilt.

“You were made with purpose in mind,” I whispered, daring him, “to be mine. So claim me like you promised.”

I received a copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving this review. All opinions are my own.

Some stories begin long after the first chapter…

I again just love the cast of characters in these books. Enzo may actually be my favorite; however, there are others that are worming their way into my heart. I also just loved the way he was with Alisa throughout this whole book. They feel so perfect for each other, and their relationship just feels so sweet and heart-warming. I still love the friendship between Taya and Alisa in this book; seeing them together is always so fun. I also loved the healing that you see Alisa experience through this book. I cannot wait for whoever gets their story next.

Alisa stopped dreaming the day her world collapsed. Now, far from the chaos, Sicily becomes her refuge from the shadows that haunt her.

Enzo carries the weight of his past, but he’s ready to fight for a chance that once felt out of reach.

He let Alisa go once, and he’s done living with that choice. Now, he’s ready to fight for the woman who was never his, no matter how dangerous their world has become.

I really enjoyed this book! While the first one still holds a special place in my heart, I fell completely into Alisa and Enzo’s story—it was emotional and captivating.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Enzo, and seeing how much he fights for Alisa in this book made me love him even more.

I loved watching the characters come together as a family, and seeing how they supported each other truly warmed my heart.

The story was full of moments that made me gasp, smile, and really feel their journey of growth, healing, and love.

This second book was so satisfying and kept me hooked from start to finish. I’m so excited to see what happens next in the series!

Thank you Lina Beck for the ARC! 🖤
I loved reading Alisa and Enzo’s story and can’t wait for the next book!

4,5⭐️

Enzo and Alisa had already caught my attention in the first book, I just knew there was something going on between them, like their bond was much deeper than what they let on, and this book confirms it.

This story picks up right where the first one ended, so we don’t lose a single emotion from the Galkin family, from Taya, and especially from Enzo, who’s stuck in bed when all he wants to do is turn the world upside down to find Alisa.

Once Alisa is back home, she has to face the consequences of her choices and finally figure out what she truly wants to do with her life.
Enzo is ready to do anything to make her happy and to help her become the woman she’s always wanted to be.

I loved this book just as much as I loved the previous one, because when Lina writes about a man in love, you can be absolutely sure he’ll be your downfall and nothing will stop her from making you fall for every single thing he says or does.
I honestly wish this book had a 1000 more pages, because what I read about them wasn’t nearly enough for me.

The Galkin family doesn’t disappoint, once again, they prove to be such a unique yet incredibly close-knit family.

The ending already gives us a glimpse of what’s coming next and saying I’m curious would be an understatement.

Once again, huge thanks to the author. I already can’t wait to go back to the Galkin house ❤️.

4.5/5⭐️
2/5🌶

I really enjoyed Enzo and Alisa as supporting characters in book one and was thrilled to learn they were the focus of book 2.

Alisa's capture breaks her and she is taken away from everything and everyone she knows to navigate her trauma and heal. Her navigating her pain while staying in a picturesque estate created the perfect balance of light in the darkness. With it being a slow burn, it allows the time to dive into Enzo & Alisa's minds while they navigate what has occurred and find their way back to each other. As much as it is a romance book, it is so much more. It's reinvention and accepting what you deserve.

Alisa and Dario's friendship was unexpected, I really didn't like him initially and didn't want to like him. That completely changed. While learning more of his story and point of view, I ended up understanding him and appreciating his character throughout the book. I can't wait for his book! I can't wait for all their books!

This book had me captivated. I couldn’t put it down. I just love the found family in this story. Enzo and Alisa’s relationship just had my heart in a chokehold. This book was very emotional and a definite page turner. If you’re thinking about reading the Beyond Ties series, you definitely should.

[Morgan · Rating 5 out of 5]

My heart needed this. This was such a satisfying conclusion to an incredible story of two souls fighting to escape, survive, and find peace.

I loved this conclusion to Alisa and Enzo's stories. Satisfying in every sense of the word. I gasped, I sighed, I screeched, and, in classic Lina fashion, I'm left on edge wanting so much more. I bled for these two, and now I want to bleed for the rest.

This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite mafia universes. Book 3 is on the horizon, but if I could get that even tonight, I'd be a happy girl.

ARC Review: All Of Them by lina beck
Releasing November 5th, 2025
This is the second book in the series, and it ABSOLUTELY lived up to everything I could've imagined and then some. I devoured this masterpiece. The amount of detail Lina packs into her writing needs to be studied. Every sentence was alive. Every emotion hit deep. It was a movie playing in my head, but one that felt personal.
Getting to know Enzo on a deeper level watching his and Alisa's story unfold was an experience I'll never forget. The way they broke, healed, and still chose love in the chaos... it wrecked me in the best way possible I laughed, I cried, I screamed into my pillow more than once.
Lina has this rare ability to write characters that feel real not perfect, not idealized but human. Her stories speak to your soul, pulling at the parts of you you didn't even realize needed healing. You don't just read her books... you feel them.
If you've read book one, get ready this sequel is going to destroy you, rebuild you, and leave you begging for more.
Heartfelt. Cinematic. Unforgettable. A masterpiece through and
through.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5


I am absolutely loving the Beyond Ties mafia romance series by Lina Beck. All of Them is book 2 in the series and picks right back up where One of Them ends.

I was already a fan of Enzo and Alisa and their story just solidified that. Their story was far from perfect but that made it all the more special. Seeing how they first met, how from that first interaction they had a connection and chemistry neither could deny. Neither was ready to fully admit to their feelings for the other. When Alisa is kidnapped, Enzo realizes he’s made the wrong choice letting her go and vows to bring her back so they can be together. Though she was never truly his, he’s ready to fight for her and help put her back together in the after math.

The slow burn between them as Alisa heals from her trauma had me on the edge of my seat wanting more. Enzo was there every step protecting Alisa, allowing her space and time to heal, and empowering her.

Alisa has spent her life being made to feel weak. Born into a mafia family, she was always expected to be a mafia wife. She’s spent her life fighting to have some control. Following the kidnap and psychological torture she isn’t sure she will ever heal. She doesn’t know how to move on or let go. While staying at Enzo’s family home in Sicily, Alisa makes an unexpected friend. This friendship helps her to heal, to regain her power, and begin pulling herself out of the darkness.


This book had me hooked from the very start. It was faced paced, emotional and had me feeling all the feelings. I loved being able to see more of the Galkin family, get a deeper understanding of Alisa and Enzo, and continue the larger story.

Thank you Lina Beck for the arc in exchange for an honest review. I can’t wait to see where this series goes next! 🖤

My thoughts 💭
I still cannot believe this is barely Lina Beck’s second published novel, her writing is so captivating and entertaining that just pulls you in until the very end. After reading the first book in the series, I knew that Enzo and Alisa’s story was going to be beautiful. It’s not an easy read at all, there’s so much trauma but there’s healing and peace too. It’s such a great book, the love and determination throughout it all is amazing. I love the flashbacks explaining how Enzo and Alisa met and how their relationship grew through the years. You get more on Enzo’s story and how he became 2nd in command of the Cosa Nostra. Ahhh I cannot recommend this enough and I excited for the next book in this series!!

✨I would like to thank the author Lina Beck for the opportunity to read and review All of Them.

⭐️4.5/🌶️ Thank you, Lina, for giving me a chance to ARC review your second installment in the Beyond Ties series!

I waited and waited for Alisa's and Enzo's story and it was worth the wait. The story held a sense of poetry amongst the chaos and trauma the characters have to heal from book one (no spoilers here, hehe). The story had such beautiful words that captivated the soul of Alisa's growth and Enzo's love. Add this to your TBR!

Some favorite quotes:
“I will believe in the future for both of us,” I promised her, holding Alisa steady in my embrace. “All you need to do is just be.” 

“I’ll spend all my remaining days proving, showing, whatever it takes. As soon as you claim me the same as I claimed you, I’ll be yours forever.”

“Then I’ll be the dreamer,” I whispered into the space between us. “And you can be my dream.”

📚 5/5 -🌶 3/5 -💧4/5 -🩸 3/5
(Plot/Spice/Tears/Blood&Action)

I loved reading this book! It picks up right at the end of book one, where Alisa was kidnapped. Throught the hunt to find her, we get flashes of memories from Enzo and Alisa of where they met, and why they weren't currently together. Lina filled this book with so many emotions, I was crying big fat tears at times for being happy, and times for being sad! Thank you for letting me be an ARC reader again 🖤 The conclusion to their story was well deserved and perfect.


I love all of their family, even Don Motta, and I'm excited to see where this series takes everyone! I will definitely be reading each one that she writes. Especially Luka and Kostas.

Let me just say this book was a whirlwind of emotions for me. Lina’s writing is so captivating and magnetic that it just pulls you in until the very end. After reading the first book in the series(One Of Them), I knew that Enzo and Alisa’s story was going to be one for the books. Starting off you had me on the edge of my seat, my Enzo and Alisa have gone through so much in this lifetime. The flashbacks to how the met all the way to the trauma. They were a little broken, we all are, we’re human we’re all a little damaged but in the end they both just needed a bit of healing. And good gosh almighty the bond they created was absolutely beautiful. And their healing process was messy but perfect at the same time and you captured it perfectly in my opinion. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect ending for this book. I can’t wait to see what Lina cooks up for book 3!! 👀🥰
