Maestro (The Enigma Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Aja (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 291 ratings

He was his daddy's son.

Eli "Maestro" Lewis has prepared himself to run the kingdom of Smoke Enterprises. The plan was to allow his father time to rest and live out his golden years with his new love, but someone wanted his father back in the game, and his father, Smoke, was all too happy to show Pittsburgh how he earned his name. They said where there's Smoke, there's fire, and now the city was up in flames. Eli had major problems with that. For one, his pops shouldn't have been running around the city like he was Shaft, risking his life and all he worked hard for, and two, he was more than capable of handling all this trouble on his own. If only his pops would let him.

Being the prince wasn't always easy, and neither was finding love during a war. But he'd deal with all that. Like he always did. That's how he earned his name.

Maestro is book 2 in The Enigma Series. Visit www.ajathewriter.com for more information.

NOTE: The ENIGMA and The SOULMATES series are tied together. You aren't required to read them both, but it will provide insight on recurring characters and themes.

    Aja’s uncanny ability to weave, love, mystery and thrills is absolute PERFECTION!!!! I’ve read the entire soul ties series and just cannot put my device down on this enigma series. Her storytelling gift is poetic and stellar. She along with a dozen more black authors are magnificent at their craft and I look forward to reading all they have. This series in particular is breathtaking. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and allows you the opportunity to have self reflection and looking at life from different perspectives. I think that is what makes books that more special. It’s not only entertaining but for some helpful! Keep up the fantastic work Aja!

    Hot!! That’s what this is, I tell you!! So, Awesome…just Smokin’!! 🔥🔥 Maestro…Eli…is everything I hoped he would be and more!! This story starts off popping off the pages and the drama is there throughout it all, from the beginning throughout the end!! There is betrayal, murder and all that it entails, but then, we also have love, tender moments and real relationships even amongst the gangsters!!

    This is an excellent, excellent story and series that I would love to see on the movie screen! Yes…it’s that good!! Now, it’s time to see how Sarai, aka “Slick,” is going to enter into the foray of Smoke and Maestro!! I already know!! Listen, if you haven’t had the chance to enter into the world of Smoke, Maestro and family, this is a great time to grab your copies, a beverage or two of your choice and sit back and enjoy!! I promise you will be glad you did!! Yes…it’s ALL that!! Aja, Kudos, Beautiful…Kudos!!! 💜🖤💜

    The coupling of Mena and Eli "Maestro" was brilliant and the timing of it was perfect...talk about the stars aligning...kismet...fate...destiny. Here's why...Eli "Maestro" a torrential storm was in the midst of war due to Smoke's best friend Jimmy's death. Maestro was carrying so much in terms of watching out for his father who will shoot first and ask questions later as well as looking out for Sarai "Slick" who is a ticking time bomb. Mena was the peace that he needed, the love that he felt he did not deserved but embraced anyway. This author delivered again with character development that felt genuine, the pacing of the story that felt realistic and the pairing of two beautifully broken people (can we say Mom did not earn the mother of the year award) that felt intimate and authentic. I look forward to the next book of the series anticipating the reveal of Carmen's shenanigans, Zora and the girls cameo and more of the grittiness of Maestro, Smoke and Slick. Hurry up 2023!!!

    Maestro was that character who didn't want to be tied down to one woman until he crossed paths with Mena. I loved Maestro/Eli story because, as Eli, he showed his more protective and compassionate side, but don't be fooled he definitely had a dark side as Maestro. Mena was beautiful, independent, and the daughter of a boss with a connection to Smoke. I just knew there was going to be some pushback in regards to Mena and Maestro getting together, but surprisingly, their father's were very accepting. While the story had its moments of gritty crime, backstabbing, and revelations, Mena and Maestro finding love and committing to each other was definitely the highlight of the story. Can't wait to read about Slick.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Edgy and Exciting Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Eli "Maestro" Lewis is indeed a cold-blooded killer and Aja writes him as a tough man who derives pleasure from killing. But in his self-titled book, we learn about the pain behind his pleasure and its probable cause. We go along for the journey, as he learns the most significant way to be pleased and to please in return. Mena came up in the world he commands and shows him the understanding and acceptance he needs, as he moves from his father's shadow to solidify his place as the crown prince of their underworld. Her softness soothes his hard edges and he can finally open himself to receive "a piece of sunshine in (his) dark world." The Enigma Series is proving to be edgy and exciting. Aja is doing real world-building, gleaning a desirable place inside every day romance and turning it into something as dangerous and hot as a smoking gun.
