Wowzer 🤯
What in the p🎶ssing heck did I just read??!?Cracking read, could not have loved the characters and plot more. Uniquely individual, all a special kind of screwed up but more lovable & hilarious for it (everybody should have a Church like that to worship at). And superbly British references with an east end background that enabled it all seem so authentic to a born and raised Brit. I liked the length as it really allowed character development and just gave me more time, insight, laughter & depth into a darkly funny as flick world - winner!Add a well written significant amount of steam and I would give this book 10 stars if I could, definitely the best book I’ve read this year if not longer.Absolutely smashed it twisted sisters. Thankyou for existing and writing this book. Off to check out what other madness you have concocted in your evil genius brains where I think I would like to live, sigh…..(One note though, I didn’t see a trigger warning at the beginning of the book which imho should be there. Dark, gritty, bloody, mentions of domestic abuse and non-concluding forced situations. Fortunately, it was ok for me but we’ve all have different paths in life to determine those we are happy to tread going forward, worth being aware if you need to mind your steps on any wobbly floorboards 😑💕).

Worth all 5 stars and more!
I loved loved loved this book!Caroline and Susanne always do amazing reads but it was just brilliant to read something by them set in London. I particularly enjoyed the 'I've been theres' and understanding the cockney rhyming slang!As always with these authors it's brilliantly written, has a superb plot with lots of action and great character building and development.Anya was a brilliant lead and I loved reading about her falling in love with London, along with the men! There was some great humour, particularly from Church and his love of Blighty! Then Frank and his amazing tune selection!I loved reading the points of view from the particularly evil Danny. It was great to then read from his twin Benny and see the difference between them!I would definitely recommend Forget me Not Bombshell!

A Deep Dive Into London's Violent Underworld!💥
Forget-Me-Not Bombshell (Mafia Wars #5)I have been looking forward to the #twistedsisters addition to the Mafia Wars, I know their style so I was exciting to see what they'd come up with!👍 It is much grittier than the other books in the series so far. It felt a bit like I watching a Guy Richie film, but reading it in book format instead. It takes you all over London, with the Butcher Boy's gang who secretly head up The Firm!Danny is the younger of the identical twin Butcher brothers, while Benny, the oldest, is behind bars. Anya is from the Russian Bratva out of Las Vegas. She was set to marry Benny Butcher, but as he's in prison she'll have to wed his psycho twin Danny, instead! She's no shrinking violet but what she's heard of him has her worried, he doesn't seem to have any limits to his violence! She'll take him on though, no one is taking her freedom and thinking they rule her! What none of them have learned is that Benny has earned early release, it's on their wedding day and he has plans. He's had eight years in prison to figure out who set him up and why! He has planned his vengeance with the help of his boy Church, and together they'll get his crown back, prove his innocence to the Firm and especially Frank, and they'll take down everyone in his way - It will all start at the church!👰💥The glimpses of London throughout this book are amazing, they've done it complete justice. She is a centuries old city that continues to grow and change, and that was described beautifully! The characterizations are well rounded and each person is clearly defined & individual. The sisters can write great, likeable psycho's, but Danny isn't one of them, he's completely unhinged, still amazingly written though!😳In my opinion, I did find this book to be too long. I felt some parts could have been sacrificed to tighten up the story and especially the reading time! Personally, I would've removed the entire Czar storyline, it just felt excessive, and I found myself skipping through those parts.😕This book, faults included, was a really compelling read. It had plenty of twists and betrayals, wrongs that need to be set right and shocks & surprises right until the end. Benny is the complete Alpha with a heart, Church has such a 'cheeky chappy' personality that I loved from the start. His attachment to all things British was sweet, his reason was hilarious! Frank loves deep, has muscles for days but holds a grudge like no other. He wasn't my favourite of the trio, he was so quiet and grumpy! Anya becomes the woman that loves them all equally, brings them closer together and helps them all laugh and love as family - eventually!💘 None of them shy away from the violence of their world, when it's needed. But they do love to wind each other up with some hilarious consequences! They are known as the 'forget me nots' and are a fascinating bunch. I did love Dylan, he was a right 'boss bitch' in his pantsuits & heels! He was hard as nails but as kind as your Nan.💞I'm really looking forward to the final book in this crossover world of the Mafia Wars, I wonder which Author will eventually come out on top?🌟Debbie, 1970, UK

Wow, what a book!
I've loved all of the Mafia Wars books and I had been eagerly anticipating the release of Forget Me Not Bombshell and wow did it not disappoint!Anya is my girl crush. She is strong, fiesty, loves her music and has her own style. Church is adorable and I loved him to bits. Benny is such an alpha, but also a sweetheart and Frank has such depth to him once you get to know him.This book was thick! I loved everything about it. I felt fully immersed in the story and all the twists and turns and mini cliffhangers.Some bits made me actually laugh out loud - the cat litter tray and Frank was hilarious!I loved all the many epilogues at the end and I really didn't want it to finish. I've cried and laughed and smiled whilst reading this book. Caroline and Susanne I salute you for writing such an amazing book!

Great book from A to Z
I have recently discovered these authors and I am in Love!!I think the Dark Empire series will always have a special place in my heart, but I am saving a spot for this book!First I love the writing style! And despite the book being +600 pages it went down like a fat kid on a seesaw! It was hilarious, it was dark, it was love….I don’t think I will read the Zodiac Academy as bully romance is not my thing, but any stand-alone by those two will always be on my TBR
