Title: War
Author: Isabel Lucero
Release Date: March 16, 2015
Synopsis
My father was the leader of a protection racket; a criminal group that uses violence to ensure our clients won’t be harmed or robbed, and that their businesses will remain protected. What we do isn’t legal, but it’s the way we’ve lived for many years now.
Memphis Reed—my father—was formidable. He was a man people both respected and feared. He taught me everything he knew, and when he died I was left in charge.
Before his death, a battle was brewing on the streets. Lies were told, deceptions were made, and people were killed. People we thought we knew changed, relationships and friendships were torn apart, and loyalties were questioned. After his death, a full on war is raging, and Roman Rios—a man we now know we can’t trust—wants to move in on our business.
With me now being the leader of nine men, it’s up to me to protect them from Roman and his own crew of ruthless criminals. I’ll do whatever’s necessary to keep my business my own and protect everything my father worked for. Even if I have to go up against Xavier Delgado. Roman’s number two. A man with no heart and a black soul. A man Roman trained to be as vicious and cold-blooded as he is. A man who once upon a time I thought I was in love with.
Yes, I’m a she. My name is Chevelley Reed, and all’s fair in love and war.

Review
Well, I devour anything this lady writes… and let me tell you WAR was no different. If you are looking for a new kind of romance with a bada$$ woman in charge, WAR is definitely the story for you.
Chevelley “C” Reed is probably one my favorite characters I have read about. She is the leader of a crime group (a hot group of guys) that is in the business of protection. Since her father’s death she has stepped up to the plate and taken care of business like a BOSS! When a rival leader Roman Rios is threatening to take her business, she does what any leader would do, devises a plan to take him out first, but there is one problem… Xavier “X” Delgado. Did it just get hot in here?
Xavier is Chevelley’s ex and first (and only) love but now, he works for the enemy as his number two and is as ruthless as they come. I’ve read about complicated relationships, but this is an all new kind of crazy. There is something mysterious and alluring about X and C’s relationship, even when they are mortal enemies, they have this pull towards each other that you can feel. The way Isabel writes will pull you into their past history, I am not usually one for flashbacks in books, but I felt like I was living the memories with Chevelley and Xavier.
This book is amazingly fast paced with some crazy twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. You need to take a ride in this fast paced, suspenseful, crime, drama romance. I can tell you, it is a crazy ride that will have you begging for more and wondering, “Is all fair in love and war?”
5 stars!
