Killer for Hire: A Bad Boy Mafia Romance (Bound to the Bad Boy Book 1) Kindle Edition
I love her with everything I have.
She was supposed to be mine. We had a future together.
Until the Mafia decided she needed to die for another man's sins.
I'd burn New York City to the ground before I let them touch her, but they offered me a deal.
Be their killer, and Serena will be safe.
In the past five years, there wasn't a second that I forgot what they stole from me.
They think they've twisted my soul and shattered my dreams.
They think they own me.
They think they know the carnage I can cause.
But when they go after her again, they're opening up an endless sea of rage.
The taste of Serena's lips still linger on my mouth, and they're about to find out that there is nothing I won't do to protect her.
This is book 1 in a romantic suspense trilogy. Safe from cheating. Cliffhanger.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2017I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
It seems as though it's a typical morning for Serena. She wakes early, opens her bath goods store, Bathing Beauty, right on time and gets ready for business...except today is not a typical morning. This morning she has a new customer, one that wants something other than bath products. This isn't Serena's first rodeo. She knows how these people work. She's grown up in the life and barely survived the escape. She has had other run ins with the mafia, only this time Bruno is nowhere to be found. Bruno rescued Serena years ago from a horrifying situation. Today, unbeknownst to her, Bruno is not too far away. Bruno is not the same man Serena remembers. He was young and just starting out. Now he's a made man and he has earned that title. Bruno quickly learns that he's not the only one watching Serena. Soon they are reconnecting as if they had never been apart. A confrontation with the Abruzzi family, his rival, brings he!! to Serena's doorstep. The manner in which Bruno handles the situation is less than ideal in the eyes of his family and has put Serena in the Abruzzi's sights. And just like that, Serena is in as much danger as she was the first time Bruno saved her. Years ago Bruno gave up everything for Serena, but is he willing to do that again?

- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2017What in the world just happened? I am completely stunned! I can't believe it!
What an amazing journey! This was one crazy story. It had it all... danger, intrigue, love... I am sure there is nothing crazier. This was definitely a hardcore drama. I loved how Bruno took Serena. I loved how they went so well together. I loved the danger and the excitement.
It was well written and executed beautifully. I am in awe on how well and thought out this story was. Its a real page turner. I absolutely loved it
I'd highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017My favorite part about Alexis's books are how the Hitman are so fiercely loyal and protective of their women. They use their darkness to protect the light in their lives, and they let nothing get in their way. NO ONE does Hitman like her!! This book has it all. Love, passionate, steamy scenes, and also a story that leaves your mouth hanging open, yelling "I didn't see that coming!"
But their story isn't over and I can WAIT to read the next part!!
Bruno protects Serena by giving his life of service to the mob in exchange for her freedom, and does it knowing he can never see or touch her again. Still, he protects her from afar.
The mob took him out of her life and the mob brought her back in.
Serena is just trying to put her life back together after her family's fall from grace. She's taking care of her mom and trying to run her own business, barely making ends meet. Then a rival mob shows up looking for "protection money". If only she had a white night to ride in and help her. If only she knew he wasn't as far away as she thinks.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2021I wish there had been less mafia and more good writing in this book, but you get what the author is capable of. In this case, the book is long, a lot longer than I thought it would be. Yes, the "hero" if you could ever call him that is hot, but honestly, hot is easy to write. It is the character under the hot that I want to read about.
Then, its a cliffhanger. Nowhere did I read it was a cliffhanger or I would have NEVER purchased the book, so there's that. And because its a cliffhanger, I have deleted the book and won't purchase the rest of the so called trilogy.
And just to be VERY VERY CLEAR. Author, if you state it is a cliffhang in your blurb, then I will happily consider reading until the end of how many ever books you write in the series, as long as they have substance and are well written, but not knowing something ends in a cliffhanger is a pain the you know what to a reader who loves to read, but loves to have closure too. You are stretching this calling it a romance, as the happily ever after isn't going to appear for another 2 books, or more. And even then, it is a sketchy happily ever after, I'll bet on it.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers copy of this book. I really loved this book, Alexis has done it again, making me love the mafia men. Bruno and Serena go way back they were together when they were teenagers and he rescued her from a horrible situation which came at a cost to him. Bruno and Serena haven’t seen each other in quite a bit and a situation at her store brings him back into her life and when she goes to thank the kind man she realizes who it is and Bruno is all grown up and all man. She’s never forgotten Bruno and as things begin to heat up between them, there is trouble brewing on the street and the Abruzzi family is coming for Serena. Can Bruno save her again? Will he be putting both of their lives in danger if he does? Will Bruno give up everything for Serena? Well you will need to read to find out what happens between them. I highly recommend this book, amazing read!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2023The book was good and there is a lot going on in it. Unfortunately, it ends on a cliffhanger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Criminally good
Action packed, danger, suspense, quick paced and never a dull moment! And that's the action involving guns, knives and gang/mafia soldiers! The sexual chemistry between Luca and Serena is scorching and the sex scenes are sizzling, intense and toe curling! A gripping and entertaining story!

5.0 out of 5 stars tolle Geschichte
Eine tolle Gangster-Story mit einem Paar, das sich nach Normalität sehnt. Die ein oder andere Szene war ein bisschen langwierig, trotzdem vergebe ich gerne 5 Sterne. Das Ende hat mich überrascht!

4.0 out of 5 stars Luca is so yummy!
You know those goosebumps you get when you meet a hero that touches you just right? He's got you all tingly and smiling for no damn reason? That's Luca. Italian-born, this man rose up through the ranks of the mafia. He was the go-to guy when you needed things done and done right. He was lethal, cunning, cold and deadly. But for as much wrath as he had for the enemies of la famiglia, his heart and soul belonged to the girl of his past. Serena owned him and he had claim over her. Teenage lovers, the world of the mafia tore them apart. Now they're back together, but the mafia isn't done with them. Serena's a target and Luca will cut down, cut through, and demolish anyone and anything in order to protect her.
This new-to-me author has got me completely wrapped up in this Killer Trilogy. With one 'killer' of a cliffhanger, I'm desperate to find out the fate of these characters. I'm hooked! For Luca alone, his dirty mouth, his deadly ways, the amazing action scenes, for everything that makes this guy so super awesome, read this book. I bet you'll be as fascinated as I am.
