PERFECTLY IMPERFECT Mafia Collection 1: Painted Scars, Broken Whispers and Hidden Truths Paperback – January 18, 2023

Loved this trio of stories. I laughed so hard with the first female character, Nina - she is a breath of fresh air. Funny, smart witted, can talk herself out of most situations. The second female character is also a strong presence and then we have Angelina. Easy read and I’m so glad I read them one after the other.

New Author for me. I CAN say that Miss Altaj has my FULL attention. What started in Painted Scars had me shaking and grinding my teeth while reading but that abated when I started Broken Whispers, which broke my heart, but you mended it and then totally destroyed me by handing me Hidden TRUTHS. I so totally hope you are PROUD of yourself Miss Altaj. I am honored by your humility and your gracious love for your characters and the visions you portray through your words creating your world. I am glad that you write about some severely damaged heroes. Thank you. I highly recommend this author. Don't miss this.

It's actually great quality. Pages and cover as well, but this particular one has a little problem. The cover and first few pages are curling for some reason. I tried to improve it, bit nothing working so far.However, other than that I absolutely love this edition. It has 3 my fav books together and it's really great feeling to read it.

This series has become one of my all-time favorites! The characters are complex and I am hooked from the beginning of each story. Highly recommend.

After reading this series in Kindle Unlimited, I bought the collections. Wonderful writing and I love the imperfect heroes and heroines,. Savoring the stories the second time around. Book 1, Nina and Roman, remain my favorite couple because they introduced me to this outstanding series.

i will forever salute to our queen Neva, this entire series has me in a feral chokehold. want spice? here it is. want to cry? here it is. your boyfriend is disappointing? these men aren’t. these books are everything plus more

This series, I can’t even describe it.I was all consumed and could 👏 not 👏 stop reading them.Each book made me love new characters, begging to find out more. The development has me hooked and I’m here for it.It has been so long since I have found a series that leaves me feeling empty and sad knowing I finished the latest book.
