Start your review of Her Empire (Mafia Made #2)
Oh. My. Days!! I want to be Anatonia!! She is badass!! I first met her in His Kingdom, she is there to help protect the Morellos and in particular she becomes a solid support for Posy. It's almost like they are kindred spirits. When I found out her back story, I totally understood why and my heart literally broke in two!
When Vitaly first lays eyes on Anatonia sparks fly and he realises that there is so much more here at play. But she has unfinished business to attend to, can she afford to get di ...more

Love Ana!! She's really strong and badass, and Vitaly was great. Once I started I couldn't put it down, it was a quick read but good, with all the feelings.
It can be read as standalone but better if you read His Kingdom, so you're more into the story and characters.
Triggers: violence, rape (memories not detailed but you get it).
Safe. No OW drama. 2 epilogues. ...more

If you are looking for a heroine who is a take charge, extensively trained warrior, Ana is the chick for you! I absolutely adored her. She is tough, well schooled in weapons and fighting, stealth and going in for the kill. Her past has defined her but she keeps it locked away. Vitaly made a terrible bargain and kill a woman to get out of the Bratva. How can he pull the trigger when every day his desire burns out of control? Vitaly is amazing, the chemistry between him and Ana is hotter than the

I loved this story about Anatonia and Vitaly. Anatonia was a kick butt woman who was smart and had confident. Vitaly, although he started with plans to take her out, ends up finding out his feelings get stronger for her throughout the story. This story had me glued to the pages from the moment I started reading it. Anatonia and Vitaly had a connection that was hot, and their scenes together were even hotter. This was the second book in this series, but the first one I've read. Now I am going to

Her Empire is everything I wanted it to be! Antonia and Vitaly are explosive in many ways and this second book in the series didnāt miss a single step. The story was a smooth transition from His Kingdom and the ride just continues on. Action packed and intriguing are two things that kept me going throughout. I was always waiting to see where Antonia was going to take things. Sheās definitely one of a kind and I love how fluid the characters stayed even with a different author at the helm.

Antonia and Vitaly - AWESOME. I think that Antonia is even more bad-ass then Vitaly. She's an assassin, but has questionable heritage, so Vitaly thinks, there are a few holes and he wants to dig deeper before he completes his assignment. This book was intense from page one, and it continues right up until the very last page. Hang on to your hats as you go on this roller-coaster of a ride. I absolutely loved Antonia and I melted near the end with Vitaly when they confront their common enemy. Epil

Ana is a bad*** however she had horrible things done to her in order to make her that way. She hasnāt lost her conscience which makes me love her and want to be her.
Vitaly is my new book boyfriend! The piercings, hair, beard and personality is a total package for me! Iād let him have me and protect me any day.
Vitalyās devotion to Ana is heartbreaking to know he would do anything for her. She is his beloved and will stop at nothing to make sure she is safe.

This story packs so many punches!
Strong heroine and hero! I think you might just fall in love with Vitaly; I did! Ana, wow!
The words on these pages will have you feeling different emotions, good and bad!
Great addition to the trilogy, though it can be read alone!
Ms. Shue, you've done it again!
Easy to read in one-sitting, but over far too soon!

Wow I never thought this series would get any better then the first book, but I was wrong, so wrong!! I love how strong Anatonia is. She a train killer for the Morello. A bodyguard for Posy but also a friend to Natale Morello too. But she is the niece of the Bocharov Brava boss. Now the Russian boss her uncle wants her dead, and he send in his best hit man Vitaly! This book will draw you in for the being. But I think you would have to read the first book to get to know more of Anatonia story. Lo

I received this book in advance for a voluntary honest review. Loved it! It was refreshing to have a story line of a woman who was abused as a girl and came out the other side a bad a$$ killer. Anatonia protects the Morello family, but soon her past rears its ugly head and she must face the demons of her past. Vitaly has been hired to assassinate one last mark before he get out of the Russian crime life for good. Everything changes when he meets Anatonia, his mark. Sparks ignite and so do their

I love reading books by E.M. Shue, she has an amazing ability to captivate an audience with her words and storytelling ability. This story is somewhat dark (as it has a mafia related storyline) but it really captured the raw emotions and mindset of those that have been abused and conditioned by their environment and upbringing. The characters and story are well developed and draw you into their world. **This story contains graphic scenarios of violence and sexual abuse so please read with cautio

This is the first book I read of EM Shue but it wonāt be the last. It was absolutely fantastic. I have been waiting on this book since Anatonia was introduced in His Kingdom by KL Donn. This book is about Anatonia who is a bada$$ woman and Vitaly. This book has it all, romance, steam factor and suspense. I would suggest reading His Kingdom first. My only complaint is that I read it too fast and it was over too soon. It left me wanting more. Now when is the next book???
Go Anatonia, Go! What a totally kick-butt chick. She was trained to be a killer/assassin/protector, all of it. Nobody thought to mess with her. Too bad Vitaly has come to kill her.
This dynamic of these two physically strong, trained killers was intense and hot. I truly enjoyed Ana and Vitaly. The attraction is instant but unknown and to see them develop and have this push/pull relationship was intense. In my opinion this can be read as a standalone but is better read within the series.

This story definitely hit my emotions. I really like Ana, I was interested in her character in the first book in this series and curious about her story. Her history is dark, the story and her memories are graphic and I could feel those emotions along with her. She and Vitaly are very intense and I enjoyed their push and pull. It's a wild ride, tears and rage, along with some gasps keep the story flowing.

An action-packed, adrenaline-fueled, sexually-charged story that will have you unable to put this down. Anatonia and Vitally are smoking hot together and their fighting had me turned on as well.
The story starts off in conjunction to some of the events of His Kingdom by KL Donn and we get a look into Anaās life before and after. There may be some triggers but theyāre perfect for the story and sets the stage for this amazing story. I was left satisfied but also wanting more.

Oh my!! I wasnāt sure how a multiple author book series would be as I have read some joint efforts in the past and the writing styles were so disruptive that it was hard to get in the series! But NOT this book/series! EM Shue and KL Donn should work together all the time, what a powerhouse of authors! It was so good to hear the history and the back story of Anatonia and then the chemistry between her and Vitaly. I love this series and canāt wait to read whatās next!! Kudos!!
2 trained killers. 1 running from her past and the other tasked with killing her. Ana is a take no prisoners trained killer with a death wish to get revenge on the ones who killed her family. Vitaly is contracted to kill her so she cannot take over her mafia family. The chemistry between them both are off the charts hot. Can they come together to get the revenge and love they both deserve? A great addition to the Mafia Made series. 5āāāāā
This story draws you in from the start. Anatonia and Vitaly are two fierce people that aren't going to take anything from anyone. Their story unpacks a lot in this fast paced read. You'll get some backstory, action, suspense and a slight surprise. It's a fantastic read and addition to this series. I'd recommend reading this one it doesn't disappoint.

Her Empire, by EM Shue, is book 2 is the mafia made series. This is Anatonia and Vitalyās story. We met Anatonia in book 1, where she was the badass bodyguard with secrets about her past. Vitaly has secrets too, but the moment he sees her, his life is turned upside down. This is a cute story with action and romance from start to finish. 4.5āļø
WOW I remember Anatonia from the first book by KL Donn so reading this book was like OMG so good. I read it in one afternoon as I just couldnāt put it down, this is the story of Anatonia and Vitaly itās such an action packed story. You gotta love a story about a women who knows how to protect those she loves and cares for and who is deadly.
Her Empire was a great book with some very strong characters. I loved Anatonia and Vitalyās story! We get to meet Ana in the the first book His Kingdom and I was glad to get her story. This book is dark, intense, and heartbreaking at times. I couldnāt put the book down once I started. Iām so interested to see where this series goes next! I would highly recommend!
