But that’s not the only Martina Cole book that has a stage adaptation. First was Two Women in 2010, then the production of The Graft in 2011. Both also had runs at the Theatre Royal Stratford East. Together, they can help each other heal. Together, they can slay those demons. Together, they can be everything. When Addison meets the enigmatic Cole, she has no idea who he is and what he does. All she knows is that he is imposing, handsome and elusive. When their chance meeting starts becoming more, she will find out that Cole is hiding things, dangerous things. Getting involved with him is not the safest thing for her, especially when he tells her that there are things he cannot tell her. Still, the pull towards him is undeniable. Can they survive his secrets? Danger oozes from him, and that comes through in the story, but as soon as Addison clapped eyes on him she was under his spell. We also have Cole. He is the head of a Mafia Family. He is young and powerful and sexy af and super rich. This shouldn't have to be told, it should be obvious. You know, because he the hero of a romance novel. Duh.

Damaged

Beautiful and blonde, Addison, has been through hell and is taking life one day at a time, trying to keep her demons at bay. The final title on this list, Loyalty, has a tentative publication date of June 20, 2024. However, this book was originally scheduled for publication in 2020 before it was pushed out to the following year, then pushed out again. Lost in her web of grief for over a year it's only through her best friend, Sia that she painstakingly shakes herself off and slowly moves on with life again and with that comes some big changes, first is moving out of the house her husband and her lovingly brought together and when an opportunity arises to move into The Mauricio an exclusive high rise building by invitation only she jumps at the chance. Cole’s attention to the texture of things makes for extraordinarily vivid writing. He evokes doom in the paintings of Caravaggio and imaginative abundance in the photography of Marie Cosindas and Lorna Simpson. He conjures the sensory pleasure of having a human body when he writes about nature, nowhere more luxuriantly than in his essay Experience: “With my eyes I see the bright light on the water, with my ears hear the thrum and splash of the water, with my nose smell the grass and alpine flowers. I bring water to my mouth and I can taste its mineral intensity … My fingers touch the stones rough and smooth, the bedlike grass, the marblelike pebbles, the fugitive water.” For Cole, such moments in art and literature and nature are, in the words of Seamus Heaney, like a “hurry through which known and strange things pass”.

My heart skipped a beat too as these words were MAGICAL, MELTING ME. Cole tries to stay away from the beauty who has worked her way into his hardened heart after a few encounters, a few meetings that have changed his world though he doesn’t want Addison in his dark world. It is a standalone. And I will say that it was only written in her perspective because only two chapters or whatever were written in his perspective, so that can't count. I have always preferred dual perspectives and Addison couldn't carry this story alone. There should have been way more from Cole's perspective. He was a way better character and I feel like every complaint I have written could have been fixed if he shared half the story. I'm not scared of who you are. I'm not scared of what you can do. I'm not scared what it means to be at your side. I'm only scared of how much I can't be without you..." I'm afraid I'm having a bit of a hard time with Tijan's books, in the sense that I don't really know how to feel about them. This was the second book I've read of hers in about two weeks, and I have similar problems with each. I just devoured Cole by Tijan Meyer in one sitting!!! Cole was INSTA-LOVE!!! I could not stop reading. My heart is still beating out of my chest. My pulse is still pounding. This story is still spinning around in my head. What an ADRENALINE RUSH!!! Cole is a roller coaster of a mafia romance, a hypnotizing and heart-racing ride of BREATHLESS BLISS!!!This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration, though the majority was told via Addison’s point of view. It was narrated by Stephen Dexter and Laura Darrell. Laura has a clear voice and sounds like a young woman, so matched Addison nicely. I have listened to Stephen Dexter many times before and I really like his narration. Of late, I’ve been going into my reads blind. Well, kind of blind. I haven’t been re-reading the blurb on books I’ve previously bought. If an ARC hits my kindle, I might look at the cover, but most times, I just start reading. A few people have asked me how I read so many books one straight after the other. Well, this is my way. Each start is a new adventure, a new love story and a new happy ever after (hopefully). Every day I get the opportunity to be adventurous, sexy, mysterious and alluring. Well, today I lived through grief, looked beyond the square walls of my existence and took a hit for love.

I don’t mind books without sex. I read them, they are called slow burn reads to me, BUT I don’t like it when an author writes ONE sex scene and then every other sex scene isn’t written in. Meaning, the first sex scene is written out, with all the touches and feels and orgasms and what not (so it’s like a new adult book) BUT after that every time the main characters have sex, it’s not written out. You allude to it and then it’s done. What starts off as a spark of attraction is soon a full-fledged fire, but Cole is keeping secrets. Secrets that could tear him and Addi apart. Secrets that along with Addi's past place her directly in the line of fire... Cole is the head of the “family” and his life is filled with murder, mayhem and meetings. A woman comes into his life and he is determined to keep her there. He knows it’s a risk and could put her in danger but her appeal is too great. He has to have her…he just hopes it won’t be the biggest mistake of his life.

No Mercy

No one would dare challenge him. Then the unthinkable happens. Perhaps Michael Flynn is not so untouchable after all, and he must learn that… But Cole has many secrets that could affect Addison... She is about to pull into his world and she is clueless.... But maybe... That pull started long before Cole??? And along the same lines, when she finds out that he's mafia, she basically shrugs it off and everyone moves on. Um, I wanted her to throw a fit! Hahaha. She basically said okay, and a few days later she was holding a gun, shooting someone. And it was all fine because she loved him. Cool story, bro. Cole is a mystery... He is popping up all the time in front of Addison and inevitably, in some point, those two are coming closer...

For Michael, loyalty — and crime — pay. Michael Flynn rises to heights beyond anything the criminal underworld has seen. He owns everyone and he rules his empire with an even but fierce hand. The Jump was made into a four-part mini-series in 1998. It stars Adrian Dunbar, Jonathan Cake, Susan Vidler, and John Light. Celebrating her new apartment at a local restaurant her eyes are drawn to a group of men that have walked through the door whom seem to dominate the whole room, her eyes are drawn to one man in particular, their eyes connect briefly and she can't help but notice how devastatingly handsome he is. My life I can't talk about, but this -you coming to me- is like a breath of oxygen. I can breathe again... Something pure among so much tainted." It's been a year since Addison lost her husband, Liam, to a drunk driver. She's been barely living.This book is all about having a case of the Hot-Guy-itis. You know how when you see a guy that's so hot you know if he said come to my secluded home on an island in Greenland, you'd say YES. Whereas normally, you'd be thinking how that guy probably wants to murder you or turn you into a sex slave in his secluded island house in a country where you don't speak the language. This dude is so hot, you're ok with it. He stared into me, and for a moment, I felt like I got a glimpse of the real Cole. He was dangerous, mysterious, and mesmerizing, but he was more. Kind. Considerate. I saw a glimmer of someone who cared. The Hero: Cole Mauricio - the leader of the Mafia. We don’t find out much more about Cole until well into the audiobook. He is very secretive about everything in his life.
