Mafia Darling (The Kings of Italy Book 2)

Product Information

For those that like heroes that are just a little cruel and very filthy, heroines that are feisty, and enough heat, then welcome this twisted world of Mila’s. Don’t say that you weren’t forewarned! Mafia Darling” is the second novel in the “Kings of Italy” series and was released in the year 2022. Loyalty is everything in Fausto’s world. He should not have allowed Francesca to get so close to him, or let her get under his skin. However that does not mean that he is going to allow somebody else take her away from him. He will pay with his very life, because there is nothing that will keep him from reclaiming what he lost. Francesca belongs to him and he’s keeping her.

And that is because of the intimacy of the character growth. What a character journey! To be honest, I wasn’t sure Giana could fully thaw me to the ice queen- that the once villainized, cold and resentful eldest Lombardi sister could ever capture me. I could not have been more wrong- because Giana has saved the most compelling Lombardi sister for last. There is no greater testament to Giana Darling’s character writing capacity than Elena. Not only is her character growth beautifully penned, but Giana did the impossible- she didn’t just help me understand Elena, she made me fall madly in love with her. She reinvented her in a way that feels both recognizable and newly born - and I have never rooted for any Giana heroine harder than I did for Elena. Her inner strength, her heartfelt courage, her tenacity and new found fire- watching her unleash her true self because of the safety and unwavering love of her capo, seeing her open up her whole heart? Simply magnificent. After all they need you, they always have Language: English Words: 67,925 Chapters: 33/?

Though what happens if a certain curious little puppet invades it before dragging you to his own world for his own reasons. Again these things are why it was a four-star book, and not a five, though the most important thing for me, personally, was that I had a fun time reading this, and didn´t get bored. This is the fourth book in the Kings of Italy series. I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. I haven’t read an M/M romance in awhile and this one definitely didn’t disappoint.

This Mafia romance is about a larger than life, over confident, sexy AF Mafia Capo Dante Salvatore. He's in trouble with the law and has hired his good friend Cosima's sister as one of his lawyers. Elena Lomardi lives and breathes her job in the court room. After going through a heart breaking divorce Elena has turned to "Ice". She definitely finds Dante attractive but gives him a very cool shoulder and a hard time. The suspense and intrigue was constant, the angst penetrating, the fire in Dante's eyes scalding, just everything made this book unstoppable! I could not put it down!!

Giulio was once heir to the biggest mafia empire in Europe, his father is Fausto (the hero of books 1 and 2) and we saw why and when Giulio fled from his family’s home in the previous books. Giulio has been kind of on the run since, after not being accepted by some of the heads of families in their mafia world because of his sexuality and he’s been wanting to make his own way since. Alessio is a sniper assassin who was hired to take out Giulio but can’t seem to pull the trigger when he has him in his sights. So we see Alessio following his target, Giulio all around Europe and their very lust-filled infatuation with one another. They decide on a temporary truce for one month to enjoy one another!
