Genre: Contemporary Romance, Mafia Romance
The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . SECRET OBESSION (Cordova Empire, #3) . . . The beauty of this story was that she was not perfect and neither was he. The perfect passion and chemistry between the two allowed for it all to flow and blend to become that little something extra. Envelope with this being a complete standalone mafia romance, I could not help but want to have more of it and the entire family, mafia empire.
Layla was more that beautiful. She carried her beauty on the inside as well. She grew up shunned for no mother reason than she looked different. I hurt for her. Ann made you feel her pain and isolation.
Mark had his own reasons for being in the world that he was in. He made no excuses for his course in life. He just simply was. He also knew when he found that one piece of light and goodness. He was not going to let anyone take that away from him.
Come join Mark and Layla in the story woven just for them in a world of the family and its bonds. Come see the journey one would willing make to be free, loved, protected, safe. Sweet Obsession will give you passion, safety, serenity, and then some along with danger.
I still want to see more in the Cordova Empire series.

Layla
From the moment of my birth I’ve been rejected by those who should have loved me, labeled as a freak because of my birthmark, bullied and tormented because I look different. When you’re told every day that you’re ugly and worthless you start to believe it. I managed to escape my malicious family and build a life for myself, but they’d broken something inside of me. I’m afraid to go outside, afraid to be around large groups of people, afraid of any type of confrontation and my panic attacks have left me pretty much house bound. If it wasn’t for my online friends I probably would have given up on life long ago. But there is one special friend, a man by the name of Mark, who keeps me going. He’s brave, smart, strong, and kind…and has no idea that I’m secretly in love with him.
Mark
Once I was a good man with a perfect life. I had a job I loved training dogs for the police with my wife, had a great family who filled our lives with laughter, and I woke up every day with a smile on my face. I was completely content in my blissful ignorance. I had no idea about the criminal world that thrived all around me, no idea that I’d made some powerful enemies who do anything to destroy me. Including killing my wife. I swore my revenge, and got it, but in the process I lost my soul. It was during these dark times, after my vengeance was fulfilled and I was drifting in anguish, that a beautiful soul rescued me from my own personal hell. I tried to keep my distance, tried to shield her from the villains of the world, myself included, but the evil that surrounds me wouldn’t be denied. Despite my best attempts to keep her safe, someone is out to destroy Layla, and I’m the only one who can protect her.
But who’s going to save her from me?
*Each installment in the Cordova Empire series is a standalone story.

From a young Ann has had a love affair with books would read everything she could get her hands on. As Ann grew older, and her hormones kicked in, she discovered bodice ripping Fabio-esque romance novels. They were great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as muchd etail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back.
Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has accepted that her Muse has a severe case of ADD.
Ann loves to talk with her fans, as long as they realize she's weird, and that sarcasm doesn't translate well via text.
