Stray.

Reject.

Ward of the state.

That’s all I was five years ago. All I thought I would be until Clyde Gallo took me in.

He saw something in me—a hunger for power. No fear.

I would be the perfect soldier in his war for dominance.

But if my time in foster care, group homes, or the streets have taught me anything, it’s to trust no one—especially a man like Clyde.

He may have molded me to be the perfect right hand, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want more.

I play my part, I listen, and I always follow through, but another thing I’ve learned is to show no mercy, take no pity, and use the stupid fools who trust you as stepping stones.

When Clyde takes something of mine, he’ll see just how close I hold those words to my cold, black heart.

An interesting start

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022

It Starts With Me is a short, quick, bloody read that gives basic background on the Ciccone family. It's a little steamy; with one very short spicy scene, but mostly focuses on Eric and how he becomes the head of the Ciccone family.

I think it will be interesting to see how this series unfolds.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022

Each installment cements my love for the Ciccones more than the last!

While doing a job for his then-boss, Clyde Gallo, Eric finds himself back inside the South End Boys’ Home. There the trajectory of his life and legacy are irrevocably changed.

Despite the short length, It Starts With Me gives us the depth we had been missing where the Ciccone patriarch is concerned. This prequel helped slot so many series elements into place and gives fodder for those of us reeling from the WTF cliffy at the end of Teach Me. It was interesting to see the more human version of Papa Ciccone as well as the circumstances that made him the man and leader he ultimately became.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Burn: 🔥🔥🔥
Darkness: 🖤🖤
Heat: 🌶

🗂 Genre: Romantic Suspense

✨ Tropes: Mafia/Bratva/Crime Family,

⚠️ Safety Squad: VïoIence. If you have any hesitation, check the warnings before diving in. Otherwise, blind is best!!

📣 Type: It Starts With Me is part of the Ciccone Brothers series, but can be read as a standalone. However, these books will be best enjoyed when read as a series.

The family draws you in to their world.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022

Now I get the connection from Teach Me and Jerry; I wondered if it might be something like this and I love this quick prequel. This family has drawn me in, and I can't quit reading their story.
