NO WAY OUT
Amy McKinley
Release Date: August 30
An action-packed mafia romance about secrets, arranged marriage, and redemption by USA Today Bestselling author Amy McKinley.
Max’s endgame is clear—take back what’s rightfully his and punish those who have wronged him.
Under the guise of assassin Matteo Trambino, Max infiltrates a vital arm of the Chicago Mafia to protect his Sicilian mentor’s granddaughter, Liliana, from her dangerous father. What should be easy changes when they come face-to-face, and he realizes he can never walk away.
Born into one of the most powerful families in the Cosa Nostra, Liliana Brambilla is a pawn in her father’s bid for power, unable to leave until he sets her free. The only means of escape is trading one prison for another in the form of her father’s choice of husband.
When her father assigns a new bodyguard, her trust is tentative. She thinks he’s her enemy. The truth is, Max is her savior.

OUR THOUGHTS
Lil is death disguised in Prada
She gives strong heroines a whole new definition
I don't believe she ever had a "damsel in distress" moment even when the odds were stacked against her
She took a breath and looked logically at the situation
Max was the same though he was always 10 steps ahead of the enemy it seemed.
I did have a little trouble the first few chapters and was not really falling into the story as I prefer - but it was like the pieces just suddenly clicked into place next thing I knew it was time to say goodbye - for now
Lots of action - not heavy dark crimson descriptive kind - more fade to black with some subtle gunfights and light on-screen combat
Packed with great characters
A strong series foundation was set - I could have used more detail during some scenes and with regards to backgrounds but that is a"me" thing. I am hoping my questions will be answered as the series progresses
Some quick capitulation between our heroine and hero - It wasn't the "oh I'm wet but I hate you" 🙄 that drives me insane. Our heroine was stronger than that and our hero had more respect for the woman he was claiming. They both knew the score going in and also they knew it wasn't really a choice - the chemistry was already there - why fight it?
I enjoyed them a definite powerhouse couple
Oh and OMG 😲
Wait till the skeletons come out of the closets
Again different flavor than my normal but definitely an author/series I will be following
Not dark perse, strong characters, solid storyline
