Title: Miles Away
Author: Addison Kline
Genre: Mystery/Suspense
The mafia couldn't kill him.
Prison couldn't break him.
Going home threatens to do both.
Miles Capadonno has made some mistakes. Once part of the Capadonno crime family, he took the fall for another member of the crime family who once tried to kill him. At age 17, they put a contract out on Miles' head for neglecting to complete a job. It was a matter of priority. Miles went to his dying mother's side instead of picking up stolen merchandise from the ship yard. When you're in with the Capadonno's, whether you're blood or sworn in, when they say jump you jump, when they say kill you kill. Ignoring an order is an offense of the highest degree. When they couldn't kill him, they let Miles take the fall for another Capadonno family member. Now 15 years later, Miles is being released. He is ready to put his past behind him. There's only one problem. There is still a contract on Miles' head. This time, Miles is man enough to collect on owed debts, and he will not back down from the family that stabbed him in the back.
Leticia "Letty" Alves is a saucy Latina and Miles' old high school girlfriend. She was only 16 when Miles was arrested, but she hasn't stopped wondering about the boy who charmed her all those years ago. Now working as a nurse for a home health agency, Letty's priorities are to take care of herself and her 18 month old son, Gabriel. But when Miles walks back into her life everything changes, and suddenly, the family that she had avoided all her life, is now breathing down her neck looking for Miles. Letty is no damsel in distress, though. She's a fighter, and she never backs down from a challenge.
Sparks fly when Miles and Letty reunite. Can they put their differences aside to become one again? Can Miles set down his pride and accept the help and love that Letty can provide? Will Letty get over her resentment over being left so long ago when Miles was arrested? Only readers know for sure.
Welcome to Carrion, New Jersey, where the Capadonno's call the shots. Miles was away for so long, but now the prodigal son has returned. One thing is for sure, the family business isn't ready for a bastard like him.
Here we have the story of Mile's, after serving 17 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, he is hell bent of revenge. Leaving behind the one woman he loved Letty he is out to get back what was taken from him.
This is a true mafia read and it has all the things needed in a fantastic mafia read.
Letty is a strong woman and she never believed that Mile's was guilty of the offence he was imprisoned for.
This is a story of revenge, soul mates, betrayal, it is beautifully executed and this is a great start to a series.
Addison has a different way of writing and you can feel that she puts her heart and soul in to the books that she writes.
I am really looking forward to reading Knox's story.

"So this is what freedom feels like. No ties to the past. No cage to hold me. Nothing could take this wild heart. Nothing could rein me in, chain me or hold me down. I have debts to collect, and I won't stop until redemption is mine."
Miles serves 17 years for a crime he did not commit, his only sin was turning his back on his responsibility to his father, The Butcher. Choosing to comfort his saint of a mother at her time to pass Miles starts on a long path of retribution as his father puts a target on his head for not choosing him. A free man Miles knows this is far from over, there is a contract out for his death and he is aware the debt can only be paid in blood. His time in a high security prison has hardened him and given him plenty of time to plan. Miles knows exactly what he wants and aims to succeed. The only variable...his list live Letty. Unsure why she has broken her promise to wait for him, they were high school sweethearts before he was set up for the mob hit. Miles is determined to win back the woman who has been the keeper of his heart.
Letty witnessed the near death then incarceration of her soul mate. Knowing he was part of the mob in small Carrion she also knew he was different. Heartbroken when he doesn't contact her she tries her best to live without him. Yet she can not distance herself from the Capadonno family. Becoming The Butcher's nurse as cancer ravages him and takes him one step closer to the grave, Letty has immersed herself into the family to remain close to the man she loves. Can she remain part of the family when Miles returns, who truly has her loyalty?
The Capadonna boys - Knox, Dustin, Landon and Miles all play their cards close to their chests. Raised as part of the mob family they know you only walk away when you are dead. With loyalties tested and a debt of blood to be paid who has who's back? The plot thickens as the saying goes blood is thicker than water...but does that only goes so far? The father wants the son dead and will go to any lengths, he is a wily old man! Craft as a fox and bat shit crazy, The Butcher is a true villain. Mikes Away is a cleverly written story of retribution. The scales need to balanced and Miles wages war on those who have wronged him. He is one hot sexy brooding male who knows what he wants and goes for it. His brothers are equally sinfully delicious and I hope they each get their own story. I was blown away by this story as its so clever, weaving a undercurrent of mystery and suspense throughout. Balancing the love story of childhood sweethearts perfectly with a story of death and mayhem.
An exceptional 5 star read.
