re-listen November 2024

I clenched around his thick cock inside of me. I’d be damned if someone tried to take Benito’s cock from me. 

“Cazzo, sei proprio stretto.�
[Damn, you're really tight.]
“You stop, and I will stab you.�
Benito laughed, and it sounded so sexy. “What’s new, baby? You stab me all the time.�



re-read on audio December 2023

These two! �

The longer I was left with Benito, the harder it was to shut down my heart. It begged and pleaded for me to go to him, to fall into his arms and be with him. Fuck that soft shit.




4.5 stars


The cold metal of Benito’s gun pressed to my temple […] “Say I do,� Benito said.

Welcome to the marriage from hell.


Man, this was exciting and super hot!! So much angry and violent hate sex. IT WAS DELICIOUS! (Even if it was a tiny bit much at times.)

Benito truly found his match in Harlow.

“Sei un mistero per me, mostricio. Non so cosa fare con te.� [You are a mystery to me, little monster. I don't know what to do with you.]


All the Italian let my translator run hot but it was worth the effort. Normally I’m super annoyed by untranslated speech but here it was okay, because Harlow couldn’t understand either what Benito was saying. *lol

What made this book even better was def Giancarlo. Just gotta love the dude. He’s probably my favorite character in the series.


Where the other two weren’t true five stars this had the potential to finally be one. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of the ending and it also gotten a bit too sappy for me with these two. But other than that, I SURE LOVED THIS BOOK!

“Mostricio, non nascondetevi da me. Non eri quello che cercavo, ma sei tutto ciò di cui ho bisogno.� [Little monster, don't hide from me. You weren't what I was looking for, but you are all I need.]



As far as mafia romances go, I can absolutely recommend these ones.

I’m super excited for the next book in the series, the premise caught my eye from the beginning. And I really hope Gianpaolo’s story comes out way sooner than the expected release date says!!

lila ⋆ love how you're rounding up your ratings for this series!! 😂🫶 truly shows how much fun you're having with this series and i love it. <3


Kati *☆・゚ @lila - Well I guess it's deserved as never before a mafia romance had me this excited. 🤣 Thank you! ❤️


message 3: by Amina (new)

Amina Great review, Kati! I'm glad this series continues to amaze you and earn it's rightful five stars! 🧡


message 4: by ~Nicole~ (new)

~Nicole~ Ah, I envy your 4 and 5 stars streak. I’m stuck in a continuous 2 stars reading trajectory lately 😭
Lovely review,Kati! ❤️


Sarah Ooh I haven’t read much mafia romance, I love how excited you are for this series makes me want to read it! Do they have a continuous plot in the background? I tend to like waiting till the whole series is out if they are all really interconnected


Rebecca So happy you liked this! I love this series. Giancarlo and Ash are my favorites, but Harlow and and Benito are a close runner up. I'm also very excited for the next one!


Kati *☆・゚ @Amina - I never would've guessed, so I'm super happy with how the series turned out for me so far too! 😍


Kati *☆・゚ @Nicole - shit, sorry to hear that. You should just dnf all the crappy books until you find something worth your time. Don't bother pushing through the bad ones. Fingers crossed for your next attempt! ❤️


Kati *☆・゚ @Sarah - mhm, yes I'd say so but the romance is def on the forefront in all the books. There is no hard cliffhanger at the end or anything so I'm content in waiting for the next one in the current state. And also, I think this right here is a good point for a break. The view on things shifts completely with the next one and the stories of the three brothers we circle around in the first 3 books are told now. Hope that helps with the decision. 😊

Imme van Gorp I’m not really a fan of hate sex, but I’m glad you got what you wanted from these two ;)) I never made it past the first book in the series, but I know a lot of people were like obsesseddd with these books and I can see why tbh😌


Nelly S. (brain fog sucks) Glad you enjoyed it! Good mafia romances always hit differently ya know😃 Am definitely taking note of this series.


message 12: by Rain (new)

Rain I’m not a big fan of angry sex, but the overall story sounds really good!


Kati *☆・゚ @Imme - how can you not?? 😂 Man, the intensity is always what gets me with these kinds of stories. But it's also a good thing, different tastes lead to variety. Otherwise all authors would probably write the same stories. ❤️


Kati *☆・゚ @Nelly - if anything I found them super engaging and entertaining. Hope you'll like them as well. I can't wait for the next one. 😍


Kati *☆・゚ @Rain - Then if you're generally into the storylines of these books you might like the first two books. There wasn't hate-sex involved as far as I recall. Enjoy if you pick one up to try. 💜


Kati *☆・゚ @Rebecca - I honestly loved them all and their stories so so much. But I also can relate to your rating. Gin & Ash are probably my faves too. 🥰


Jane aka Coughy019 (Safety info included) Lovely review, glad you enjoyed it. I found the ending a little much myself but other than that I really loved their story. So visceral.


Kati *☆・゚ @Jane - it was, right? I mean, a baby??? REALLY? After THIS?? It was honestly hilarious and also imo so very unfitting for these two. Would've seen this more for Gin and Ash. 🤣 But I agree. Until then it was just everything a violent loving heart could wish for. ❤️


message 19: by annie (new) - added it

annie Hate sex? baeee sign me up! I love it 💀😭😭😭
Lovely review ugh!! 🌸🌸


Sarah Thanks for your explanation, I’m going to give book 1 a go 😁


Kati *☆・゚ @Anum - me too, it's one of my fave settings. And god, all the violence throughout between them. de-fucking-licious!! 😍 Not sure if you're reading the genre tho, but this is an MM romance.


Kati *☆・゚ @Sarah - anytime! ❤️ I loved all the books so I hope you'll enjoy as well.


kaemilia ☾ Srsly enjoying this series in a surprising way 😂 These crazy mafia men are keeping me on my toes with their antics! Great review Kati 😍


Kati *☆・゚ @kaemilia - Thank you!! They are so crazy, really. I can't wait for this series to continue. 😂


Kaity I didn’t like book one.. can you read all of these as standalones? Or do you need to read them in order? Haha your reviews make me want to pick the rest of the series up� ugh! 😂


Kati *☆・゚ @Kaity - mhm I would probably recommend reading them all in order, but as you already started the first one you'd probably be fine in skipping the rest and go on to another. You could probably even skip the second and listen to this one right away. I'd say the second one stands most on its own.


message 27: by Lau � (new)

Lau ♡ Glad you enjoyed this book so much every single time you read it!! I love books that can be read that many times, it brings so much comfort. Great review, Kati!💛


Kati *☆・゚ @Lau - Thank you! ❤️ I just can't get enough of this book, this whole series really. I'm eagerly awaiting the next one to come to audio. 😍
