a BrunoShattered by Control （I believe this is book three in the series The Bruno Family- yet there really isn’t a set series for these books） by author B。 B。 Hamel。 It’s all about control- he’s ruthless， brutal and oh so damn hot。 She’s sassy but struggling to keep her control- he just makes it so hard。 This story will captivate your senses and make you wish for dark delicious things。 Enjoy！！ I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Another great Mafia read！ Dark but still with the Bruno's women adding some levity to it。Finn and Mirella are perfect for each other。 Their romance starts quickly though。 My only "complaint" was his constant use of "dirty girl"。 Got old quickly。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 Another great Mafia read！ Dark but still with the Bruno's women adding some levity to it。Finn and Mirella are perfect for each other。 Their romance starts quickly though。 My only "complaint" was his constant use of "dirty girl"。 Got old quickly。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This is my second book in the Dark Mafia Series and even if you haven't read the first two， you can read and enjoy Finn and Mirella's story。 But， I am sure like me that you will want to make sure that you read the other stories in this series。 When Mirella's estranged father （at the encouragement of her mother） tells her about a job interview that she needs go to， she grudgingly goes。 She meets Finn and his brothers and even though it's a cheesy mafia cliche， they make her an offer she can't ref This is my second book in the Dark Mafia Series and even if you haven't read the first two， you can read and enjoy Finn and Mirella's story。 But， I am sure like me that you will want to make sure that you read the other stories in this series。 When Mirella's estranged father （at the encouragement of her mother） tells her about a job interview that she needs go to， she grudgingly goes。 She meets Finn and his brothers and even though it's a cheesy mafia cliche， they make her an offer she can't refuse。 She begins work as Fynn's Physical Therapist and finds her personal life changes along with her professional one。 It's a strange but somehow beautiful love story as we are privileged to see Fynn and Mirella fall in love but once they realize it， will it be too late for their HEA？。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Fynn Bruno is the third member of the Bruno Famiglia to take center stage and I loved it。 I'm not going to go into plot details or dissect the characters of this steamy， compelling， emotional read。 The book blurb mostly gives an accurate description of the story。 Suffice it to say this is another gripping mafia romance with an interesting story and great characters by the wonderful B。B。 Hamel。 I am already counting down the days to the next book。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout Fynn Bruno is the third member of the Bruno Famiglia to take center stage and I loved it。 I'm not going to go into plot details or dissect the characters of this steamy， compelling， emotional read。 The book blurb mostly gives an accurate description of the story。 Suffice it to say this is another gripping mafia romance with an interesting story and great characters by the wonderful B。B。 Hamel。 I am already counting down the days to the next book。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

In this story we are back with the Bruno Famiglia。 This is Fynn’s story after he woke up from his coma and got back home。 Mirella was hired as Fynn’s physical therapist because her father is a capo for the family so they know she is familiar enough with how things work to be trusted。 Their story is intense and full of surprises。 There are some twists that you won’t see coming with Mirella。 This story is exciting and will keep you engaged。

The Bruno family is full of alpha men and apparently submissive women， but they are really strong women who stand with the men to protect each other and the famiglia。 B。B。 Hamel’s stories never disappoint， they are fast paced and full of twists and turns but there is always a happy ending， Shattered by Control is no exception。

I really enjoyed this book。 The story offered an intriguing twist that made this a very engaging read。 Mirella and Fynn generate plenty of sparks from both the animosity and the awesome chemistry that flows between them。 The story is filled with tension， drama， emotion， darkness， secrets and lots of heat。 I am independently posting an impartial review。

I always enjoy reading this author！ The books in the "Oath of" series should be read before this one， so that the connections between characters makes sense。 （Not a have to， just my opinion。）That said， Mirella and Fynn's dynamic is expected。 If we know anything about this author's men， it's that they suck you into their world and keep you there。 It is absolutely no surprise that Mirella is unable to do anything but comply。 This author consistently delivers delicious Alpha men， just as we expect。 I always enjoy reading this author！ The books in the "Oath of" series should be read before this one， so that the connections between characters makes sense。 （Not a have to， just my opinion。）That said， Mirella and Fynn's dynamic is expected。 If we know anything about this author's men， it's that they suck you into their world and keep you there。 It is absolutely no surprise that Mirella is unable to do anything but comply。 This author consistently delivers delicious Alpha men， just as we expect。 As with the previous stories， the women frustrate me。 They vacilate between "How dare he think he owns me？" to "I want him to punish me。" What now？ Huh？ Which is it？I want to say。。。 Sweetie， just make up your mind。 When they do "get with the program"， their turnaround is a full one。The one female who doesn't change throughout these stories is Elise。 She is her constantly vapid self。 Again， the backstories of these women is important to know all the changes they have gone through to become part of this family。 IMHO。When I put Mirella's indecisiveness aside， it's an easy read with steamy chemistry and scenes。 I enjoyed the family dynamics between the brothers and the drama of this mafia family。 Overall， I enjoyed reading this one， and look forward to the next one。 I recommend this read and author。 My free ARC came from Booksprout and I voluntarily leave my review。 。。。more

SHATTERED BY CONTROL is the third instalment in BB Hamel’s contemporary， adult， dark Mafia romance series focusing on the Bruno family。 This is Fynn Bruno， and physio therapist Mirella Falconet’s story line。 SHATTERED CONTROL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the previous instalments for back story and cohesion including Consumed by Desire， and Broken Sin。WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise， there may be triggers for more sensitive reade SHATTERED BY CONTROL is the third instalment in BB Hamel’s contemporary， adult， dark Mafia romance series focusing on the Bruno family。 This is Fynn Bruno， and physio therapist Mirella Falconet’s story line。 SHATTERED CONTROL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the previous instalments for back story and cohesion including Consumed by Desire， and Broken Sin。WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise， there may be triggers for more sensitive readers。Told from dual first person perspectives （Mirella and Fynn） SHATTERED BY CONTROL focuses on Fynn Bruno whose life spiralled out of control， having been shot close to a dozen times， leaving our hero in a coma for several months。 With need for a physio-therapist， Bruno family capo Genaro Bernero recommends Mirella Falconet， a recent graduate from the PT doctoral program， a woman with very little experience but a woman who knows more about the Mafia lifestyle than she ever wanted to know。 What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Mirella and Fynn， and the fall-out as the past returns demanding compensation and payment for territory and lives。Mirella Falconer’s life was about to change when Fynn Bruno offers Mirella a position she cannot refuse。 Turning down the Bruno family is next to impossible， and Mirella finds herself falling for a man she knows nothing about。 Mirella’s father left when she was ten years old， swearing allegiance to the Bruno Famiglia， leaving his wife and young daughter behind。 Mirella has never forgiven her father but secrets will reveal another story， another sin， another lie to add to Mirella’s already fractured and bleeding heart。 Fynn Bruno needs physio-therapy in an effort to show a more powerful front but Fynn is hoping for a miracle from our story line heroine， a miracle that Mirella knows will be a long time coming。The relationship between Mirella and Fynn is an enemies to lovers， of a sorts， in which Mirella has no choice but to work for the Bruno family but a war between the Mafia and the Irish Mob is fast approaching， and our heroine is about to be caught in the middle， a pawn to be sold to the highest bidder。 From the outset Fynn’s attraction is Mirella is palpable and strong， his road to seduction is demanding。 The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic， with some scenes of spanking and discipline。We are reintroduced to Fynn’s brother and the Bruno Famiglia Don Casso and his wife Olivia; their sister Karah and her husband Nico; brother Gavino， step-mother Elise， as well as Mirella’s parents， and Ronan and Cillian O’Shea。 SHATTERED BY CONTROL is a story of family， betrayal and vengeance， secrets and lies， love and understanding。 The premise is dark and captivating; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are charismatic and entertaining。 。。。more
