Cole

Product Information

And then Cole came into her life and put color in her life... She started living again and i liked her new self... I liked how she didn't bat an eye when she learned some certain things and i understood how she lost it in the end... Addison is recovering over the death of her husband. She is recently wealthy and it just trying to move on with her life. I usually don’t like the wife trying to get over the dead husband storyline, but I didn’t mind this one. I felt for Addison’s pain and I wanted her to move on the best way she could. This it’s not a mafia story. Yes it does have your typical aspects of it, but I feel like It’s more of a love story or second chance story in my eyes…. But hey that’s me… Either way whatever category you wanna put it in I felt like it was good read⭐⭐⭐⭐ At Holly Brookes Children's Home, the two girls unite in the face of horrific abuse and form an unbreakable bond of loyalty. Cole is the head of the “family” and his life is filled with murder, mayhem and meetings. A woman comes into his life and he is determined to keep her there. He knows it’s a risk and could put her in danger but her appeal is too great. He has to have her…he just hopes it won’t be the biggest mistake of his life.

I love mafia romances, it is one of my favorite subgenres. I was excited to get started on this book, and I really enjoyed the first half of the book. Addison was a very likable character, she had been through a very rough patch and was trying to find her way in life again. Thankfully she had her bestie Sia, who dragged her out of the house to socialize on many occasions. This book felt very mysterious, and the main male character Cole was very secretive. He was like a ghost in the first quarter of the book. But from the first moment Addison laid her eyes on him, she can't get him out of her mind. Cole was protective, sexy, attractive but not an over the top alpha male in my opinion. Violence --- It's a mob story, so yep. But nothing very descriptive (though the discussion about Cole's family's demise is rough bc it involves kids). Cole Mauricio is the last man standing, the head of the Mauricio family and highly guarded and protected by his men. His posture says it all – danger, power and more danger. When Addison sees him in a glimpse, he makes it his business to find out more. What he didn't expect is the indescribable physical attraction and chemistry they share. She affects him almost in the same crippling capacity as he affects her. And soon they engage a sexually potent relationship that soon consumes them beyond any measure and notion. What starts off as a spark of attraction is soon a full-fledged fire, but Cole is keeping secrets. Secrets that could tear him and Addi apart. Secrets that along with Addi's past place her directly in the line of fire... A young Gambian man, let’s call him D, waits in Syracuse. He arrived in Italy eight months previously, having been smuggled into the country by boat from Libya. D has an easy-going, intelligent manner – an unexpected grace given what he has endured. At a rendezvous with his companion for the afternoon, Teju Cole, D confesses that he has never set foot in a church: he was raised Muslim. As the two of them enter Santa Lucia alla Badia together, he is amazed that no one questions his presence. What a rare taste of unencumbered movement. The pair gaze in awe at Caravaggio’s early 17th-century painting Burial of Saint Lucy. It is enormous: 10ft across, more than 13ft tall. Centuries have passed and the effects of time show in the damage to large areas of paint, but the work is no less magnificent for it.But then the things start to get more complicated, as Addison finds out the whole horrid truth about her husband's family, about the concequences that would break her heart all over again, the dangerous betrayal close to Cole will pull her in the direct line of fire, involving her into the long mafia war, between two fued enemies seeking for retribution, revenge and penance. Heroine turns into a forgiving blabbering spineless vagina when the Hero is involved. Cole is not a bad guy, I do like him, but a girl should not have to put up with certain shit without an explanation. Dara Tailor has had to grow up fast. With a mother addicted to cocaine, Dara must look after her seven younger siblings, until social services split them up for ever. I'm not scared of who you are. I'm not scared of what you can do. I'm not scared what it means to be at your side. I'm only scared of how much I can't be without you..." Could she cope with the notion that the man she now came to love, tried to set her free by lying to her in the most dreadful way…but inspite the lies, the danger, the odds and circumstances…

Would you believe this is my first story by Tijan? I know, crazy. I, unfortunately, was under the misguided impression that the author wrote high school romance. Of all places, I got the recommendation to read Cole from the weekly puzzler in my historical romance reading group on Goodreads. Thank you, Okie. Without you, I would never have known and that would have been a terrible shame. Who would have thought historical romance set me on the path towards…the MAFIA. Addison (Addi) is a widow who's husband was killed by a drunk driver. She's been a widow for a year and is having difficulties moving on. She still lives in the house they shared, has frequent nightmares and thinks she can still hear his voice from time to time. He was dangerous, mysterious, and mesmerizing, but he was more. Kind. Considerate. I saw a glimmer of someone who cared." Cole is not who he seems and apparently neither was her deceased husband Liam. Addi is thrown into a web of unanswered questions, lies, and deceptions which will put her life in jeopardy......

No one would dare challenge him. Then the unthinkable happens. Perhaps Michael Flynn is not so untouchable after all, and he must learn that…

There are things about my life I can’t share. I’d like to, but I’m in a position where I can’t. Not until I trust you. Authority and confidence emanated from him, along with an aura of danger. He moved with a grace, the others didn't have, the others walked, but he stalked in a sensual way. He moved like a predator. He was one of the best looking men I had ever seen.A year ago Addison lost her husband Liam to a drunk driver. Haunted by his memory and encouraged by her best friend Sia, Addi decides it is time to make some changes and moves into The Mauricio. A very exclusive, very expensive building that no one is quite sure who owns. There she runs into the attractive and mysterious owner himself COLE. Here’s the breakdown: Addison recently lost her husband Liam to a drunk driver accident. She’s haunted by his ghost in their shared home. She gets a tip that an exclusive building has an open apartment, so she agrees to a viewing. The apartment is perfect for her needs and just happens to be the place she sees Cole for the second time. Shortly after, they have another run in and agree to a date. Things progress from there. Separation: Yes They are separated for ~4 months, but there was no mention or suggestion of other partners during this time.
