*About Me*
Hi! My name is Jenn! I started this channel in April of 2018 to meet bookish-minded people and be nerdy with them. I mostly focus on Romance Novels and I'm not afraid to get a little wild. After losing my job in early 2022, I started content creating full time. It's only because of the amazing Romance Community that I am able to do this.
Thanks so much for watching!
XOXO,
Jenn

Love this look on you!! 😍 Definitely adding Jagger Cole to my TBR! His books sound really good!

[@rajwinderkaur3437]

OMG!!! I was waiting on this so badly. I ran out of all the mafia romance recommendation videos from everywhere. I badly needed a new recommendations video. Thank you so much ❤❤

[@honeylait]

Thanks for making this video Jenn! I was looking forward to hearing your recent faves in this subgenre :)

[@annaong9367]

Mafia Madness was my favorite so far.. still thinking if Mafia Target is for me though... took 4 from your list to add to my TBR. Thanks Jen!

[@valsbooksviews]

I'm loving Jagger Cole's series, Vicious Hearts was so good 🔥. Thank you for the recommendation. ♥️

[@TheBookRefuge]

So glad you loved it!

[@Yknobler]

Thanks you for the recs! Super stoked to read them all! 😊

[@whathelenreads]

Ah, poor Nikolas. I loved him. But that works out. I’ll take Nikolas and you can have Liam! 😂

[@lsh5510]

Started Neva Altaj! Great recommendation. I like it so far. It fills a little of my cravings left over from A. Zavarelli *Boston Underworld* and earlier Cora Reilly mafia books. I haven't liked the first 3 of CR's Next Gen books, but you make me want to try Greta and Amo's story. Great video!

[@lotuskoi225]

Hi Jenn! Broken Whisper is also my favorite out of the Imperfect Series! ❤

[@TheBookRefuge]

Such a good book! 🥹🥹

[@serenityriver2701]

I appreciate the long videos. ❤

[@andic8126]

that’s crazy bc i really love love painted the most out of the entire series. i’ve re-read it like 3 times.

[@andic8126]

i do skip the 3rd act breakup tho. it’s so dumb. everything leading up to it tho is chefs kiss

[@lizdeken9710]

Great job Jen! Enjoy your reviews. I base a lot of my TBR from your videos.

[@EV-ox1df]

I love all of Sadie Kincaids Mafia books. Especially the New York Ruthless and Chicago Ruthless series!

[@JK-kx9rj]

I love all the recommendations, I will definitely read Jagger Coles's book. BTW you look great Jen!!

[@camilleroberts2888]

Hi Jenn. Great rec’s. I’m part of Harper L Woods arc team but I prefer her AF mafia books. I’d love Bellandi 6 and DOTD2. Hopefully the mafia muse will hit soon.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Absolutely! Her fantasy books have been great. I just want my Mafia books too!!! Let the muse flow!

[@taylorburks6835]

Thanks for the recommendations Jenn.

[@gam07d56]

Thank you!!!!!:)!!!!!!! So exited for this video!

[@liezllovesbooks]

i need to finish the perfectly imperfect series

[@bhavyakhanduja2856]

hey I absolutely love your videos. Just wanted to ask if there is any Anna Zaires books you could recommend?cause I think she has pretty big backlist and idk where to start from. :P But I do want to read her books because they sound similar to A. Zaverelli's books and I love her. If you don't like her books, even then let me please know, cause I love all the books you love and dislike the same books you dislike so I trust your judgement a 100%

[@pixie3013]

Thank you for the recs! Does the Perfectly Imperfect series need to be read in order or are they more like stand alones? I usually read series in order but I am seeing 1 or 2 I might want to read first. 😁.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Have at it! The only she suggests you read last is book 6. Because it builds on a lot!

[@TheGoofy1932]

Not a fan of her Harper Woods stuff, but I love her Adelaide Forrest mafia books. Grieved Loss is still one of myall-time favorite mafia romances. The Neva Altaj series is really good, although the 2nd and 5th in the series are my favorites. She packs a lot of story into her books in comparison with a lot of other contemporary romance authors, which I appreciate. Mafia Target was my favorite from Mila Finelli. Definitely my favorite M/M mafia romance. I tried Taken by a Sinner, and I gave up mid way through. I haven't picked up anything else by her because I felt like it was a writing style thing. Maybe I'll give Michelle Heard another shot at some point. 🤷‍♀️ Cora Reilly is such a mixed bag for me. I like a few from her original mafia series and some from the spin-off. But her other stuff-Not so much. In fact, she's nearing my no-go's as far as her new books go. Jagger Cole was giving me all the Dark mafia romance energy that I was looking for. I didn't realize the author was male.I don't necessarily check the "author picture/bio stuff". I just don't care about that stuff usually. I know some do, but I don't. I'm reading their book not inviting them to lunch. 🤣 Enjoyed both of them, but Vicious Hearts was 🔥. Love a vigilante serial killer mafia boss-quite the mouthful for a job title. 😉🤣 It's definitely a new favorite for me.

[@tashachannel5758]

Hi. You should try sweet but a psycho by Michelle Seymour! Off to read taken!

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

Ok picking up taken by a sinner now! That series looks fun!!

[@AhmadShahid-e4p]

Read haunting Adeline u will fall in love with that much dark romance it's marvelous

[@TheBookRefuge]

Thanks for the rec! I've actually DNFd that book 3 separate times... it's just not my Dark Romance jam. 🤷‍♀️

[@kendra3927]

That entry though

[@TheBookRefuge]

Thank you! 🥰🥰

[@vanessamcdonald9282]

I love mafia romance books you were the one who introduced me to ii.. Problem for me is some of the writers need to be more descriptive with the charactors features and body i have a problem putting a face to the charactors..i love to be able to visualise the looks of the charactors by the description of the author

[@Kiki-lm2nd]

Have you read “Until tomorrow comes” by Adelaide forest if not it is a dark, mafia, stalker, obsession, series. Lots of trigger warnings.

[@TheBookRefuge]

I've read the first one and then DNF'd after that. I found something too dark for me with that series! It happens to the nest of us!! haha!

[@priyankashrivastav772]

Can you please do fated mate- alien romance.

[@tiffanycassata1023]
