**Beautifully Brutal is the spin-off series of Sniper One Security Series.**
Beautifully Brutal is a modern day mafia twist of Romeo and Juliet. The Good Guys vs. the Bad Guys. If you are familiar with the Sniper One Security Series, then you will be familiar with Courtney Kogan and Maximillian Adorite. And in Beautifully Brutal, Courtney knows that she must resist and stay away from Max but there is this strong attraction to him that she can't helped but hypnotized by his charm and personality. Her job was simple to get intel on the Adorite family but that could be harder than she thought since Max is one of the new leaders of the Southern Boy Mafia.

The chemistry between Courtney and Max was intense, sexy, alluring and captivating. I loved how Ms. Edwards did an amazing job intricating the past and present highlighting the strong connection that they had to each other. Their past and present collides and only leads to a passionate chemistry that can be only described as explosive. I loved how Beautifully Brutal really showcases that LOVE conquers all. And in this case two people from opposing sides found a middle ground and was able to prove that their love was unbreakable and worth fighting for.
As always, Ms. Edwards did an amazing job unfolding their story with added layers of sensuality, sexiness, suspense, and some surprising twist of events. The writing and story-telling was beautifully well done. So if you are fan of a mafia romance that will leave you wanting more, then I suggest you read Beautifully Brutal because I didn't want this book to end. Looking forward to what Ms. Edwards has in store next for the Southern Boy Mafia series.
