This is was fantastic sequel and I totally fell for Kaz in this book. He was a delicious bad ass and I totally loved everything about him from his kick ass moves from the beginning of the book and throughout the story.

Sadly, this ends on a brutal cliff and I'll be a hot mess waiting until the conclusion is released. I do wish that the heroine becomes more aware of what is going on and kick some ass or makes some moves herself because her guy is some serious trouble.

I need book 3. Seriously.

The continuation of the forbidden romance mafia style from Where the Sun Hides is just as good as the first. With sex, anticipation, broken rules, murder, and family rivalries, I am hooked. This series has taken over my brain and become one of my favorite mafia story lines. Kaz and Violet are fighting pretty much everyone in their lives to get to their HEA and as soon as it seems within reach, the rug is pulled out from under them (and me), leaving us ...more

Kazimir Markovic is free after four months behind bars, his father expected it to teach him a lesson, not set him on a path of destruction and bloodshed. The only thing on his mind is his Italian love, Violet Gallucci. Hiding isn't part of their plan, biding their time while they work out an elaborate plan to take out the Russian Mafia's boss is. The Italians want Violet back, but Kaz won't allow that. As the weather turns bleak and the streets turn white with snow, the bloodshed is more apparent than ever. Someone has to lose the game.

Would he ever harm her? No. He would go to the ends of the earth to keep her safe. But others? If they thought to cross him or attempt to keep him away from her, they wouldn't be as lucky.

Starting four short months after the end of Where the Sun Hides, Where the Snow Falls is the second novel in the Seasons of Betrayel series by Bethany-Kris and London Miller. Like WTSH, WTSF is told from the dual POV's of Violet and Kaz, but this time the plot has thickened and the outcome seems bleaker. I cannot get over how strong of a character Kaz is, we get less of a glimpse of his personal thoughts in this release, but we see a lot more action on his part. He is ruthless, determined, and the most loyal alpha-male. Violet is sweet as ever, except she's accepted the lifestyle much quicker than I expected her to. She fell a little flat for me in this novel, because she couldn't very well get involved with the bloodshed with how protective Kaz is, but after that ending I know we're going to see her take the stage soon. The scenes these two share together are out of this world hot, filled with chemistry and smut, I could not get enough of them. This forbidden romance with a mafia twist is definitely one I can't put down and the cliffhanger only keeps the series and characters in the forefront of my mind.

It was almost as if he loved to watch all the sounds fall from her lips. Like it was his favorite thing next to making her scream.

Bethany-Kris and London Miller continue to show their skills in the romantic suspense genre with Where the Snow Falls. The writing in this series is excellent and allows the reader to see every scene and feel every emotion. I have fallen in love with Kaz, with his dedication to Violet, and the amount of destruction he goes through to keep his heart safe. This is a mafia tale like no other and I recommend it to all readers who enjoy romantic suspense, mafia, and forbidden romances.

Kaz had never felt terror-not that all-consuming emotion that made him feel like he was going to fucking die just from the rapid pace of his heart-but then he felt it then. ...more

Certainly a character that continues to attracted me through the chapters is Kaz, I feel he never leaves his personality aside and he is loyal to himself inside and out the mafia.

And I also feel that Violet is more confident with her role in the mafia. They are more intense and shows us that their relationship is stronger.

You can’t have enough of them and the serie. The suspense between pages just make you want more and more and keep you reading and reading.

The problems with both mafias come to light, the chase begins. I feel like everything is like an hourglass where time is running out and you don’t know how it will end.

And that end!!! God is painfull.

London and Kris know how to play with your emotions. And leave you with the desperation of the third book.

Highly recommended. Just one click.

Esta serie es fenomenal te mantiene enganchado a través de las páginas y no puedes parar hasta terminar el libro.

Este libro es de esos en los que pueden ser las 3:00 a.m. y tu estas como: “un capítulo más”.

Sin duda un personaje que sigue atrapando a través de los capítulos es Kaz, siento que él nunca deja su personalidad a un lado y él es fiel a sí mismo dentro de la mafia como fuera de ella.

Y también siento que Violet se desenvolvió más en su papel dentro de la mafia. Ellos son más intensos y se nota que su relación es más fuerte.

No se puede tener suficiente de ellos y de la serie. El suspenso entre las páginas solo te hacer querer más y más y seguir leyendo y leyendo.

Los problemas con ambas mafias salen a la luz, la persecución empieza también. Siento que todo es como un reloj de arena donde se está acabando el tiempo y no sabes cómo va a terminar.

Y ese final!!! Dios, es de infarto.

London y Kris saben como jugar con tus emociones. Y dejarte con la desesperación del tercer libro.

Muy recomendable. Sólo one click.

I am very grateful to have received an advance copy. However, I would like to clarify, that I only post reviews from the books I independently buy. This has been my "modus operandi" before and after I had opened the blog. It gives me freedom to be completely and utterly impartial, but most of all, to be nakedly HONEST. My feelings, opinions, perceptions, likes or dislikes are not, in any way, influenced. Regardless of the ARC, I had previously preordered this book and I received my copy today.

Now, lets go straight to what really concerns us here. First, I would like to say that I LOVE this series. From the beginning, I have been the number one fan. However, I most point out some things that I didn't like, regardless that I completely loved it.

"Where the Snow Falls" had a much slower pace than "Where the Sun Hides." In this second book, more characters were introduced in the plot. At the beginning I didn't know if these new characters were from other series by the authors, or if in fact, they were introduced as support to the story. Even though the story follows exactly where the first book ended, I got sidetracked, I had to stop and go back to read the last two chapters from book one. For some reason that I dont understand myself, it was difficult for me to connect to the story for most of the first part.

Second, I LOVE KAZ. What a man...UFF!. I like his demeanor, his loyalty, his love, his manhood, his caveman behavior.... and the accent...to die for. But what really attracted me to this character is that, if there is someone who has remained steadfast in personality and behavior, from the beginning, it has been Kazimir. I dont understand what happened to Violet in this book. She hesitated a lot and sometimes I found her weak and too nervous. It was not the same guerrilla that was presented to us in the first book. Violet resulted to be easily manipulated. Nonetheless, thanks to Kaz's strength and confidence, it complimented her actions in every way. I believe I have found my new book boyfriend. I love the rectitude of that man!

Third, all the different POVs..why? I prefer one POV, usually from the female perspective. Two POVs, uhmm...I can make the effort and handle it. But when there are four, I get lost in chapters. Not my favorite scheme.

Anyways, after the first quarter, I reached to a point where the story fitted exactly into place, and my heart wasted no time in beating like a runaway horse. Every word, every line, every chapter was a rain of restatements, that the story between Violet and Kaz, is getting more intriguing, more seductive, more attractive, more sensual.

And theeeen, we get to the last part of this book....definitely, my last reason to give this book a 5 stars. I didn't see this one coming....honest to God. This book was kind of predictable at times but the cliffhanger....OH. EM. GEE! For the love of Jesus Christ, WHAT THE HECK? MY KAZ! I was speechless, I couldn't close my mouth; my mind was reeling, I dont know how many times I said "Oh God" Oh God" What happened here? Yes! it was not expected AT ALL...Killing me softly.

OVERALL, this second book was really good, but not as good as the first one, that to my opinion was flawless. Did I love it as much? Absolutely! regardless the lows and highs, I couldn't put it down and it kept me awake and on alert until the last page. When I got there, I couldn't sleep, i couldnt stop my mind, I was just thinking about the plot and how long I have to wait until I know what happens next? Utterly mortified.

I know that the last book is going to be painful. Not only because it will be BADASS, but because it will be the last, and even though I REALLY dont want Violet and Kaz's journey to end, I am desperately seeking for my happily ever after.

London Miller and Bethany-Kris have become my new "Mafia Queens" authors ......KEEP IT UP GIRLS! WELL DONE!

London Miller and Bethany-Kris are back at it with Where the Snow Falls (Seasons of Betrayal Book 2). I am beyond impressed with the direction that this series is taking. It’s really no surprise. These two authors are truly the best of the best when it comes to mafia romance, so I expected to rip through this second installment in record speed. I left this book feeling completely satisfied with the amount of action, plot development, danger, and steam that was served up, and giddy with excitement over the possibilities for the final segment.

We left Kaz and Violet in Where the Sun Hides in a rather precarious situation. True to form, Kaz did what needed to be done to get back to the love of his life. However, even bigger problems lie ahead as these two figure out how to stay together with the force of two powerful mafia bosses leveled against them. Not an easy task to be sure, but if anyone is up to it, Kaz is. My favorite mafia leading man to date, Kaz is strong and confident in a way that seems earned. His bravado is not at all misplaced. Though born into a world of privilege, Kaz never takes any bit of power or control for granted. He is a hard worker. He constantly pushes back at his own father whose style of leadership he abhors. With every action, Kaz asserts himself as an individual willing to go against the grain inside an institution steeped in time honored tradition. He is not afraid to be an outlier. What, I ask, is more alpha than that?

Violet has a quiet strength that comes through in Book 2 as she is forced away from her usual surroundings and thrust into a new environment among a group she has been warned against her entire life. The one constant keeping her together in this foreign territory: her love for Kaz. Her struggle is, and will continue to be, acclimating to Kaz’s world and his new set of responsibilities. From the Famiglia to the Bratva...out of the frying pan and into the fire. There is so much at stake here and Violet proves that she will be able to handle it all with grace.

Where the Snow Falls also delivers some fresh faces with the Chicago Bratva contingent. Konstantin (my favorite newcomer), Kolya, Maya and Viktoria are all great additions to this storyline. I have a feeling we have not seen the last of them.

Where the Snow Falls lived up to my very high expectations of London Miller and Bethany-Kris. These authors are the authority on modern mafia romance each in their own right. Together, they have crafted two powerhouse volumes in a trilogy that I have no doubt will be the best of the year.

The ending for this one is going to clog up you throat (oh, the irony), make you want to scream, cry, yell and everything else in between. My poor heart had to read the last few paragraphs THREE TIMES JUST TO

Where the Snow Falls starts Four Months later - After Kaz has been released from prison. We don't know what his plan is. We don't know what's going to happen to Vasily or even Alberto. Heck we don't even know what those two have planned until later on when everything is slowly revealed. All we know is Kaz and Violet will go on a very rocky journey.

Besides the main characters (Kaz and Violet) - I loved the secondary characters in this. Kolya, Maya and Konstantin. I really want more of them and hopefully we'll see them in the third book. I'm trying to keep what happens in the book vague so I don't spoil it for readers because you really have to experience this all by yourself. But just know so much happens, with many twists and turns followed by edge-of-you-seat action.

Where the Snow Falls is filled with many tantalizing moments between Kaz and Violet which will leave you either fanning yourself or with a dopey smile. Their love for each other is palpable and it's obvious after reading this they are both willing to do anything for each other. Even if it means killing. Ms. Bethany Kris and Ms London Miller deliver a story filled with betrayal, hatred, violence and an impending war but what cannot be changed is the devotion and love Kaz and Violet have for each other.

I cannot wait for the next book. I cannot wait to see the people that deserve to be punished get what they deserve (and I hope that happens!). I'm worried sick about what will happen in the next book because of how this one ended. You think you're two steps ahead when in reality you're ten steps behind. Let the wait for the next book begin. ...more
