Jennifer Pierson rated it 5 stars

K.L. Myers has done it again. From Son to Soldier is a short(ish) read that packs a great big punch. The Vicci Crime Family Series is a spin off of the Love At Last series, and while you probably would be okay coming to the party late, I really recommend that you read the Love At Last series first! Jefferson has been in the dark about what his step-father's family does until he's not anymore. Giovanna has grown up in this life so she already knows the dangerous possibilities in their world. This story is fast paced with a ton of twists coming around every corner, and by the time I was finished devouring it in a very short time, I instantly craved more of this series. I pray that the next books don't take long to be released because I'm here for it all with a side of impatience. So hit those one click buttons to experience the magic for yourselves! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL

Gabriel and Victoria’s Second Chance.

What full-on ride this book was!!! FROM PAST TO PRESENT is the second book in Author K.L. Myers’ Vicci Crime Family series and is best read after the novella entitled FROM SON TO SOLDIER, Jefferson and Giovanna’s book, which I’ll tell you now that I absolutely loved, AND which set the scene perfectly for Gabriel’s second chance with his first love. Hell’s teeth, I was desperate to find out how he ended up married to someone like Giovanna’s mother!!!

I also want to add that I was introduced to the important background characters, and to Angelo and Bethany Rizzuto, and Bethany’s son Jefferson, in her earlier LOVE at Last series, and while you don’t need to read them, you’ll be missing out on some pretty awesome books that feature some serious alphas. Not all powerful men are from within the realms of the mafia.

Ms Myers kept the angst, the cracking pace and the heartbreak on high as we were privy to Gabriel and Victoria’s deep and adoring love, and their initial enforced separation. I was gutted!!!! In the dual POV, Gabriel catches us up on their history till we get to the job that Angelo has given Gabriel to complete. End the life of his former love. Thankfully Angelo is still the romantic mafia character that so many readers of Author K.L. Myers have fallen on love with, “Find me a solution, then. One that saves Victoria’s life and doesn’t make the family look weak.” Gabriel’s best friend is still a man who will listen to the counsel of another close to him. The thing is, the mafia world created by Ms Myers has more twists than your average pretzel!

This is not just another mafia book. Oh no way. The Vicci Crime family work hard, and take the trash out when it’s required. They also love hard, love loyally and love unconditionally. Our heroes are most definitely all very alpha, but their women are more than capable of holding their own!

Again, I am addicted to this author’s writing, and I’ll be stalking social media waiting for her next release!!!! For this one though, it’s 5-Star strong!
