This is an ARC review. All opinions are solely my own.
Off the Record is book 3 of Kristen Proby's With Me In Seattle Mafia series. This is a very fast paced series that has to be read in order or you will not understand all the players in the story. This book is narrated by Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon. The way these narrators embody the characters makes the listener feel like the characters were written for their voices.
Rafe and Annika have tried to stay as in the shadows of their family businesses as possible. But when the business comes knocking on their front doors they are forced to confront their pasts. These two have been fighting their feelings even longer. Now that each are unemcumbered they can explore what their hearts have always known.
Kristen Proby is the master of intertwined family and friend romances. I love the way she blends each book seamlessly together. I will always come for a Kristen Proby series.

This is the last book in the spin-off series. Annika and Rafe's story wraps up. The whole story was interesting and entertaining, loving mafia series it was good, but I needed a bit more darkness into it, this had a bit more but not like I love in my mafia stories. Overall I enjoyed it and this final installment was able to get all the questions answered and the second chance the characters needed. I loved seeing other characters. Would like to listen to the audiobook version someday.

Off The Record is the highly anticipated conclusion to the With Me In Seattle Mafia series and holy smokes did we get some twists and turns that definitely left me stunned!
Rafe is the youngest of the Martinelli men but the one who found his soulmate at a young age. The worst part is....they were feuding Mafia families then, but times have changed and now he wants to claim his girl. Annika loved Rafe at 20 but had to move on yet never truly did. Now she can't deny her love from the one man who lived her like no other
"Today and everyday that I walk this Earth. You're the only one for me."
This story had it all.....suspense, intrigue, scorching chemistry and one helluva swoon-worthy Mafia hero.
"You're my soul mate. I need to be with you the way I need air."
This final book is a mind-blowing, page turner that will have you addicted from the very first page, so prepare to be consumed!!

Off the Record is the book that I was most looking forward to in this series as it’s Rafe’s story.
Rafe is the mysterious one out of the Martinelli brothers and has had his sights set on one particular woman and no other women have held his attention.
Dr Annika Tarenkov has had one true love in her life and when her family forbid them from being together she found it hard to move on. She’s never wanted to be a part of her family’s “business” and has always tried to keep everyone at arm’s length. But when certain events start happening Rafe and his brother find themselves stepping in to protect Annika.
While protecting Annika with his life, Rafe’s feelings start to make themselves known ten fold. Trying to stay away from Annika is harder than breathing for Rafe and he definitely doesn’t make it easy on Annika either.
I loved this story from start to finish and I love this series!

In the first two books of this series, we had tidbits of Annika and Rafe's story. I was more than curious and couldn't wait to find out all of it. Off The Record doesn't disappoint!
Who would have guessed that Rafe would be such a romantic? I loved that about him as well as the way that he was always looking out for Annika even when she pretended that she didn't want him to do it.
I enjoyed this second chance romance with suspense and twists mixed in that wraps up this spinoff series.

I don’t want this trilogy to end, I have loved the Martinelli family. But I have to say Rafe and Annika were my favorites. This second chance at love had all the feels with a few twists thrown in. I can’t wait to see if there will be more of this family popping into Kristen’s books in the future.
Oh my what an epic conclusion to what has been a whirlwind series! Kristen Proby please know I am here for all the mafia you want to write. This series features standalone stories for three different couples but you will enjoy so much better if you start from the beginning with Underboss so I recommend that one first. It also gives you time to truly fall in love with the two families.
Off the Record is Rafe and Annika’s story and oh what a second chance story this was. Rafe, his dedication and his love for Annika was everything. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for the woman he loved. He was so dreamy. Annika had all the understanding reasons to keep her walls up but with a love like theirs, those walls will only stay up for so long. I loved the sexual tension and angst, the suspense and anticipation, it was built up so well. I was on pins and needles waiting for these two to finally get together and when they did: hello fireworks!

I really enjoyed this book! It hooked me in right away! I couldn’t put it down. I believe this is the last book in this series. All three books in this series can be read as a standalone. Rafe and Annika were perfect for each other. The epilogue closed out the entire series very well. Selfishly I wanted more! I wish we got to see years later where everyone was in their lives! I would definitely recommend this book and this series!
Received a arc for a honest review.

I absolutely loved every book in this series!! Alpha Mafiosos and their bada$$ women! I love when strong men have equally as strong women. Nadia, Ivie & Annika are serious sexy, strong, cunning & brilliant women.
Omg you guys…Rafe
