Shelves: arc, dark, gripping, mafia

This is a reread for me. And the second time around was just as wonderful. But this time, there was an added companion novella that filled my heart with new material about Andino and Haven.

A vow is a promise or oath...... and Andino Marcello has taken a vow of duty, respect and honor for the Marcello Family. He has been tapped to become the next Boss but at what cost does his duty and vow to the Family cost him. “Heavy is the Head who wears the Crown.” He follows the rules, is a great made man a ...more

Let's start off by saying that Bethany Kris is one of our all time favorite authors as her character's are intriguing,broken,deadly,love-able and she creates tons of drama,suspense,romance and awesome bad guys that always keeps us glued to the pages the entire time and Andino's Duet was all these things and more.

The character's in this current tale were totally awesome.I will have to admit that we have had a little bit of a love\hate relationship with Andino up to this point but, In this story we really saw Andino in a whole different light and we loved what we saw.Andino was all about family first meaning the mafia,but this time around Andino went to the extreme to see that his families safety and welfare of his mafia family and that of his families legacy . His family members were to protected at all cost and the threat to them gone once and for all.

We loved that Andino was smart ,conniving,cumming, a master manipulator in this tale but, what we loved most is that Andino was bitten by the love bug like so many others in his family and its the perfect time as his life is currently messy and hard and has tons of obstacles in his way but, he is working hard to obtain what he desires the most and it will be all the more rewarding if things play out the way he hopes they will. One thing that we always loved the most about Andino is his devotion to John whether it is watching his back or having it and also never treating him differently because of his struggling issues with mental illness.

Haven was a breath of fresh air and we loved her sassiness,winning personality,loyalty and her sexy good looks and her devotion to her family and friends and the lengths she goes to seeing them happy and healthy.We loved the little firecracker with her tell it like it is attitude and her attitude is just the right thing to shake things up in Andino's regimented world.We loved seeing a whole other side of Andino just by loving Haven and spending every free moment he had to spend with her as she calmed all the cogs that were always moving in his brain and with Haven he could turn it all off and just be Andino the man and not Andino the Don.

Andino with his dog Snaps priceless !

This tale took us on one heck of a ride with a very messy love story and a story that looked bleak and unattainable to having tons of drama,suspense,intrigue and a great cast of characters as those Marcello's are the bomb and that is including their women.This story was filled with a lot of moving parts and twists and turns keeping us constantly engrossed in the pages.Andino is playing one of the biggest chess games of his life to see if his play and his biggest gamble will play out the way he wants it to and then he would be rewarded with the only women he has ever loved and his desire to spend a lifetime with the women who stole his heart that is his everything and is his equal in every way.

"A beautiful written story and we absolutely loved it !" ...more

Haven and Andino were living into two different worlds. When they met, times stopped for a while, an undeniable and powerful connection that would have consequences.
Andino has so many responsibilities and duties at the moment. His family is everything, always coming first no matter what. Until his responsibilities and duties collided with the woman he just met, putting them in dangerous situations if he wasn’t careful.
Haven is far away from his world, busy with her job as a successful bar owner. She didn’t expect that one man would make her head spin, making her fall in love so fast. A man so mysterious who she couldn’t stay away from.
The first part showed how fast and hard they fell, living in that confort place when Haven was not aware of that side of Andino’s life.
I saw that woman standing by herself, strong and definitely not a damsel in distress.
I loved her personality. I felt like we were discovering more about Haven with little pieces of Andino.
As the story unfolded, mostly with the second book, I adored seeing more of Andino. He revealed more about himself and I appreciated it. The plot was intriguing and well written, I was really surprised by the turning events.
While I adored Haven in the first book, she drove me crazy and some of her reactions frustrated me, as well Andino with his sense of obligations and duties towards his family. For being obtuse and not thinking about how he must feel.
I missed Haven most part of the second book, her strength and witty personality, she was unobtrusive. I wanted more conflict from her side. Maybe to make Andino working for more.
Great world building, an anti hero that I loved, a journey that kept me captivated until the end.
Bethany Kris is a great story teller.
It was somehow a pleasant surprise and the ending... just mind blowing and emotional!
The novella was a beautiful glimpse of Andino and Haven’s happily ever after, and I swooned a lot! Definitely what I was looking for.

After doing a re-read of this duet, I can easily say that I still love this couple so much! They are not the typical mafia couple, but they absolutely are a perfect match! Andino and Haven face their struggles and come out on top.

I can't stress this enough but Bethany-Kris is my mafia romance queen! She writes a flawless balance of mafia and romance! Andino + Haven: The Complete Duet by Bethany-Kris is a MUST read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!! ...more

Duty-
Why does it hurt so much? Its like our foolish hearts try to rationalize, hypothesize, and make excuses. Our heart speaks louder than our minds.

You know what he is. You know what he does. Despite your feelings, there is always something in the way. His family. His work. His lifestyle. Yet you still find a way to make excuses. You fall deeper, harder, and more in his spell...for what though!?!?

So I’ve actually never read anything by this author, until this duet.
But I think I found a new favorite!
Andino & Haven’s struggle to get to happiness is full of bumps in the road, but it isn’t without beauty either.
Watching them overcome rules set by generations past, as well as current events was absolutely beautiful.
The companion to the duet is included and gave us insight to their hea, which I absolutely loved!
I’ll be reading more by this author, without a doubt.

I love Andino and Haven as much as I did the first time I read it. Re-reading this couple in a complete duet made it even more sweeter as there was no wait or anticipation for the book to release. This couple endures a lot of ups and downs but in the end their love prevailed. Andino reminds me of his uncle, Dante. He is broody and alpha. You can’t help but love him and Haven holds her own agains the bad boy. I flove this duet!

Duty:
I've been reading the brilliant Bethany-Kris' work for a cool minute, and HOLY HELL Andino's story gutted me, and taken the place of favorite to date! I've seen him in other books, and always had a tiny thing for him, but now that I know him better, I'm full on in love. He's always been happy to just do the job he was given, and really wasn't all in for power, but he's now the heir for all the marbles in the Marcello empire, and he's conflicted because he's not sure he wants it. However, he knows that family comes before everything, so he's trying to get on board with it. Andino hasn't really met a woman who turned his world upside down until the day he runs into Haven, jogging while he walks his dog, which starts a seriously HOT journey with sexy times that light the sheets on fire. Then they start to catch strong feelings, but the family has let him know in no uncertain terms that she's not appropriate for his wife. Man, that had me sitting on the edge of my seat with heart pounding, because Andino couldn't stay away from her, and not only did f-bomb worthy twists come from that, but a whole lot of angst because I LOVED he & Haven together. So now I've reached the end, and it really jacked up completely as this #EVILWHOREQUEEN left me hanging so badly with anger & surprisingly to me, some eye leakage. OMG Vow CANNOT come out quickly enough for me, but in the meantime, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Duty to ALL!

Vow:
Vow is the conclusion to Andino + Haven so guess what folks? You MUST READ Duty (Book 1) FIRST! It picks back up where Duty left off with Andino picking duty to his family first, and Haven is left shattered, and trying to move on even if it meant giving up everything she had worked for. OMG, my heart broke for her throughout this whole story. And I know that Andino was working on a plan, but the way the brilliant Bethany-Kris wrote this story, it seemed like it would never work out, so I was on pins & needles cover to cover, never quite figuring out how it would all pan out. So obviously the twists took me for a ride that had the f-bombs dropping like they've never been dropped before. And the chemistry between these two was igniting & lighting up the sky like the 4th of July as well. So yeah, crazy was the order of the day 100%. Not to mention, there was a big bonus, I was granted a new look to John & Siena's story that I hadn't seen in the past which was amazing! So yeah, I have all kinds of feels still going strong from this Duet, which I'll read over & over again whenever the mood strikes! And I'll ALWAYS be waiting for more by this hella talented author so of course I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

And I'm not naming names or describing anything about One Last Time, so you'll have to hit those one click buttons to experience all this mafia goodness for yourselves! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL! ...more

I am so invested in these terrific characters this author has given us and the stories about them. Family, God, duty. Such a dichotomy of values with these sophisticated criminals and their legacy empire. Next to the original filthy Marcello, Antony, Andino is the filthiest. The cunning brutality of his grandfather, the domineering control of Uncle Dante, the cold harshness of Uncle Lucian and the street smarts of his wise guy father, Giovanni. Andi was up and down for me in other stories and in this one. Sure, he has the Marcello good looks, charm and sexiness but he can be a cold bastard even to his family. The crown may be heavy but that's what his family is all about for the legacy to survive and he knows it. He may want to do it his way but he's selfish. Nothing against Haven because she's a boss babe. I loved her but not for the family. What Dante said at the end caused my heart to crunch. Is it the end of the male blood? The last true Marcello boss? I'm all in my feelings about that! Unlike others in this series I was left twisted up from Andino's story. I hate to say that because the romance between Andino and Haven was intense and sexiness personified and at times glorious. Ooh, he's a nasty one! The maneuvering and manipulation of Andino was masterful as he was determined to get what he wants and to lead the family in his manner. Some of his deviousness was spectacular as he positioned himself to have no opposition when the time comes for him to step up as the Boss. I loved how the family supported Andino and welcomed Haven. I do think Haven was ill prepared for the Marcello way of life. This can be read as a standalone but to really know this family it's best to start at the beginning. I started toward the end and went back to the beginning with the Marcellos. With this story I now know who Val is from Chris Guzzi's story. Yes! The light comes on! I'm all over the place with how I feel about Andino’s story because Dante did me in with his revelation. Ugh! I NEVER get caught up with characters like this! But we're on to the fourth generation with Lucky and little G and all the beautiful girls. The writing and storytelling are stellar as usual and I am always ready for more of this magnificent mafia world. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC. 4.5 stars ...more

Below are my separate reviews for each part of this duet set. You are very lucky you can read Andino and Haven's love story back to back, without interruption or waiting!

I don't know, it just wasn't holding my attention.
