✻ BOYS vs GIRLS ✻

Hell’s Kitchen is a story of two rivalling mafia families. Things heat up right away when the Barbieri boys are instructed to abduct the daughter of their enemy.
”The sins of the father are visited upon the heads of his children.”

Besides the uniqueness of two authors collaborating on a story …it has viewpoints from all the main characters. Having the voices for that many characters was a new experience for me because in other books I’ve only seen it done in third person.

Two couples make a cameo in this series; one from each authors previous work. I have not read Lili St. Germain’s series: Gypsy Brothers so I wasn’t not familiar with the back story on her characters. Which I don’t think matters because their role, so far, added to the steaminess of the story.
I, however, did know the other couple in the story, Zeth & Sloane. I read their series last week and all I can say is WOW! Blood & Roses rocked my world.

Overall, Hell’s Kitchen is a quick read with lots of action. One of my favorite parts is how the authors ended the story. The twist at the end had me doing an evil grin. ♥ One more thing since I was asked a couple times if this was about the TV show -> Hell’s Kitchen with Chef Ramsey. No, Hell’s Kitchen is a neighborhood in Manhattan.
