I have only one goal in life: Become a detective. It’s there, just out of reach, so close I can taste it. When I find out the Vitale family is about to be investigated again, I do what I do best.

Jump in head first.

There’s just one problem; Enzo Vitale. The man is red hot danger, every word a dare from his lips. And I never was one to turn away from a challenge…

But when things get rough, lies reign and deceit is around every corner. I find myself drawn to the one man I should be running from. The criminal whose hands are bathed in blood.

Am I falling for the enemy?

Love the entire series.
5 Stars
Love the entire series.
I initially read on kindle, truly felt a connection to Enzo (I’m autistic as well). I love them together and they show how a person can give you life from their love. 🥹I love all the brothers but Enzo has a special place in my heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Torn between 3.5 and 4 stars.
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023

It was fun, hot, and surprisingly great autism rep for a mafia book. I’ll probably like the sequels better since they aren’t as police heavy.

What I liked:
- Good autism rep
- Hints of ACAB that soften the blow that the MMC is a cop
- Unique mafia MMC (nerdy, shorter, ND, hates the club)
- Accepting, loving, queer mafia brothers
- Good spicy scenes
- Smooth and fun to read

What I don’t care for:
- It’s a little cliché (like a lot of mafia books)
- Lots of improper and illegal cop behavior by MMC (not getting a warrant, case files hoarded at home, B&E at suspects’ properties, hassling witnesses, undermining others’ cases, getting rewarded at work for bad behavior, etc)
- Writing style isn’t my favorite. I’ve DNF’d this author before, but her writing’s improved since then.

Overall enjoyed it though! Onto the next book.

⭐️5/5:
Take me apart is book one in the Vitale Brothers series and it’s the first book I have read from both of these authors and I am glad to say I was not disappointed at all!! This book was a phenomenal read! It had all the things I love about mäfìä romance and MM romance all wrapped into a perfect storyline. In this book we meet Enzo & Tex. A cop looking to make a name for himself with some skeletons of his own he’s running from & a ċřìmìnäl that enjoys tørtüring the people that have wrong him or his family, and that thrives in things being in order. I loved the level of details put into every scene/ scenario it made it so easy for me to sink into the story and wanting more!! I truly couldn’t put it down! I really enjoyed the banter between the characters but I also enjoyed being able to meet important side characters too and kinda start piecing together their importance for the book and the books to come. Tex & Enzo just made scene for me I never questioned them it was just too perfect of a connection between the two of them!!

🌶️5/5:
Good lawddd the spice in this book was spicin the jalapeños were definitely pinoin!! The details in those scene really will have you needed some water and maybe a fan it was that spicy! I enjoyed each and every scene!!

As stated this is book one of an interconnected series that can be read as a standalone but in my opinion makes more sense reading in order to fully understand the over all storyline!!

-Happy Reading Babes

4.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed the story, but—
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2023

Enzo and Tex are both amazing characters. There are no easy answers for them, especially not for Tex. His position as a police officer is something he takes very seriously, and he does have a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove. None of that ever included hooking up with a well known mafia guy— one with a very bloody reputation at that. Once he does, Tex is forced to re-examine his choices, and his reasons for them, and he has to make some hard decisions. The story was a very good one, but the only thing that really bothered me and kept me from giving this book 5 stars, was the lack of editing. There were wrong words used, sentences that started with part of sentences that should’ve been endings. Capitalization where it didn’t belong, and just numerous other errors that could’ve been fixed quickly by even a semi-decent editor. Those corrections would have vastly improved the story as a whole. I don’t know what prevents authors from paying for an editor, other than money. I do know that there are editors that are worth the investment. There are beta readers who are qualified to be editors, who will beta for very little or even free, if they like the authors, although it’s rather unkind to take advantage like that. The point is, it is worth spending the money, it is worth the investment, to make a book, the very best it can be. There are people who just won’t read books because of the editing errors. It’s simply my opinion that people should take pride in their work and want it to be the best it can be. This story could’ve been a total gem with just a little more work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Anti-Hero to pop up in a while
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024
Verified Purchase
I loved this book. Not only were the characters wonderfully flawed, they were well thought out and genuinely showed how families are supposed to stand by each other.

I also love that Benito and Gin both watch over Enzo and work with his strengths and around his weaknesses. I find it amazing that the authors just gloss over his personality quirks and don't make it the main focus of the book.

The plot twists are many and most from left field. You have the usual cops vs. Mafia trope, good vs evil thing going. The crazy side characters, the bad dad, and the ok mom, the bff hacker security person, the partner, and of course the cop bosses that are always trying to nix all the fun. The only thing missing were the car chases and explosions, but I guess they had to leave something for book two...

All I all, a good book that will give you all the feels from high to low and back again as well as tickling your funny bone from time to time. Well worth the time to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars My new favourite!
Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2023

I'm annoyed I didn't find this book earlier! I accidentally stumbled across it searching for a different book and liked the blurb, only to realize I adored one of the authors so I was immediately sold. I ate this book up in less than 2 days. I stayed up until 3am and read over 70% of the book in one sitting. This was just everything I didn't know I needed in a book. The pace is fast, the plot remains intriguing and the intimate scenes are HOT. (I will say, check TW/CW before reading, because they are very possessive, rough, and torture scenes are gore-y) Not a book for the faint of heart but it has mine!
I wish it was maybe a tiny bit longer so we could be with the couple once they had settled as a pair for a bit, but they do appear in the sequel(s) which I appreciate from an interconnected series so I'm still satisfied!
