In her eyes, he would always be the same…

After losing the one and only man she ever loved to incurable cancer, she went on to take a job working for PGI Corporation in hopes she could find a cure in honor of him one day.

Genetically altered by the government, stripped of all his own memories, Killer heads down a dark and dangerous road. Memories evade his mind, but nothing sticks out quite like the girl in his dreams. With her dark brown hair and eyes, she’s a danger to his heart, but a victim to his rage. He knows she has the answers to his past. If he gets his hands on her, she will never be seen again.
Secrets, lies, and the sweetest of betrayals encompass them. Can Killer find his way through the rage and back to Maggie or is it too late? Can someone who is hell bent on being broken truly be saved?

Get ready for something completely different from J.L Beck! This story is different not only from the authors usual books, but also different from anything I have read. The storyline is unusual and completely draws you in.
Maggie dedicates her life to trying to find a cure for the cancer that killed the boy she loved only to find out some truly terrifying secrets the company she works for is hiding. Killer has no memory of his past, he only knows what they have taught him. He is a dangerous weapon and has no control over what her has become.
The characters are fantastic and the story progresses well. A few parts in the story that get a bit confusing but by the end it all starts coming together. By the end of the book I was so into it I didn't want it to end. I cannot wait to read what happens next!!

Invincible (A Kingpin Love Affair #3) by J.L. Beck
A book where the romance is just as dangerous as the crime….
FBI Agent Devon Mitchell is trying everything he can to move on with his life.
Except he can’t.
After losing the one person he loved more than life itself, he struggles to carry on with the guilt and burden of letting her go. When a new assignment in his old hometown lands on his desk, he can’t help but feel drawn to it.
Drawn to her...
But this isn't a case he was assigned, but a secret undercover mission that could ruin his career if his cover is blown.
Tegan Anderson wishes for a normal life. Pushing her way through college, she finds herself in dead end relationship number three—except this time, the guy is into something far more dangerous than your usual twenty-three-year-old is involved in.
Drugs, dirty money, and casino debts are just a few things her ex has found himself wrapped up in.
When the people he owes money come looking for him, she finds herself in a situation that could be the difference between life and death.
With the odds stacked against them, and a herd of angry men after them, can Devon and Tegan survive the mayhem that is about to ensue? Can they overcome the past or will it shatter both of them?
Sometimes, love isn’t enough, but could theirs be truly invincible?
Manda's 4 Star Review
This is by far my favorite book so far of the series. The writing flowed more smoothly for me in this book than in the previous books in the series. I was pulled in to the story right away and was unable to put it down. The storyline is fantastic and has a really good plot development. The characters have a good development as well. I really liked Devon and thought he was a very strong character who was dealing with his past choices and trying to move forward. The only way for him to move forward was to revisit his past.
Then we have poor Tegan who can't seem to catch a break. One failed relationship after another. Each worse than the last. She finds herself stuck in a situation that was not of her own making. Doing the best she can to keep her head above water and trying to fix a problem that seems impossible to fix. Then things go from bad to worse when ghosts from the past start making an appearance. With no idea who to trust and what to do next Tegan is overwhelmed.
Not only do we have a fantastic story with lots of twists and turn that keeps you on the edge of your seat, but we also get another taste of Zerro. I must admit I liked him so much better in this book than in his own.
Over all I really like the series but this is my favorite. Great job J.L Beck and I can't wait to find out what happens next!!

Inevitable (A Kingpin Love Affair #2) by J.L. Beck
A love story that can only end in tragedy...
She was never part of the plan.
She was never to become anything.
She was simply a payment, and once the debt was settled, she would be nothing to me.
She thought her life had changed in a blink of an eye the moment she came home to see her father strapped to a chair, a gun being held to his head. It was my life that changed that day, not hers.
The blood of my enemy ran through her veins, and no matter how much she wanted to save me, she never would have. I am a monster. I can't be saved. I would consume the world in a blaze of fire before my need for vengeance was ever fulfilled.
They say the truth will set you free…
I thought she had betrayed me in ways I never expected, but in the end, it was I who had committed the ultimate betrayal.
Doubts ruin, truths hurt, and just one lie can destroy an entire army. If being the king has taught me anything, it's that everyone desires the truth, but no one wants to be honest.
The monster inside of me has been set free, and I will stop at nothing to destroy my enemies.
I am a living, breathing, killing machine... This war has just begun.

At the end of book 1 we were left in suspense waiting to see what fate awaited Bree at the hands of Zerro. Inevitable picks up in just the spot book 1 ended. Zerro has been a successful mafia king because he truly trusts no one and has nothing to lose. He is ruthless and will do whatever it takes to get what is owed to him. Bree was taken as payment for a debt owed by her father but the truth was he wanted her. The more time he spent with her the more he wanted her, but now it seems she may not just be an innocent farmers daughter. Zerro will stop at nothing to find out the truth and make them pay.
J.L Beck does a fantastic job creating an exciting and suspenseful story that will keep you reading. Each of the characters are unique and their stories and how they all connect are what keeps you from being able to put it down. So many lies and so much anger in this book from all the characters makes it a good read. I found some parts of the story to be a bit confusing and a bit overwhelming because there is just so much going on but over all the story was good and I really enjoyed reading it.

Indebted (A Kingpin Love Affair Vol: 1) by J.L. Beck
It was suppose to be a debt settled, just a price being repaid.
Instead love was born...
...from unpaid dues it bloomed.
See, that's the funny thing about love, you never expect it.
After losing her mother to cancer a few months prior to graduating, Bree Forbes was finally able to take some time away and enjoy her college days. That all changed in a blink of an eye the moment Bree came home for break. She didn't expect to find her dad strapped to chair, a gun pointed at his head.
Alzerro “Zerro” King wasn't a man to be messed with. Women flocked to him and men ran from him. He ruled the mafia with an iron fist and no one ever crossed him unless they wanted to pay the price. He believed the only way to pay for something, if unable to do so, was to do it in blood. Nothing got him harder than stringing someone up, and putting a bullet in their head.
That is until Bree.
One look is all it took for him to know she could pay for her father’s debt in many other ways… Ways that could get him hard.
Could a big city mafia king fall in love with the small town country girl? Would she be able to handle his dark and demanding ways? When push comes to shove, would Bree end up running only to be killed? Or would she sacrifice herself for love?
Manda's 4 Star Review:
When Bree Forbes comes home from college to visit her father she finds a sight she never imagined. After the death of her mother, Bree's father sent her off to college telling her he would be fine, but what greets her when she arrives proves he is not fine. Her father is in dept to a very dangerous and powerful man. In an effort to save her father bree trades herself to pay his debt.
Alzerro King is a very dangerous mafia king. He has no regret or remorse when it comes to collecting a debt. He accepts bree in exchange for her fathers debt. Bree is beautiful and he immediately wants her. Taking her is not a hardship, however she proves to be very strong willed and unwilling to obey. The more he is with her the more he starts to feel. There is definitely something about this girl he can't deny, but there are so many secrets and lies around them and someone is out to take down the mafia king. Trust is not something that comes easily and trusting the wrong person could be deadly.
I love mafia stories and this book caught my attention immediately. This is the first part of a series so its a very quick read but leaves you wanting more. The characters and storyline are fantastic. So much to this story that has yet to be revealed and so much more to each of the characters as well. Cannot wait to read the next one. Fantastic job J.L Beck you have my attention and I will eagerly be awaiting the next part of the story.
