This is a new to me author and series, and I’m glad I picked up this book. I love a good mafia romance, and I was not disappointed. The author did a wonderful job of bringing this book to life, and just sucking me in. There was so much heat and chemistry between the characters, it had me wanting more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was incredible with some great twists and turns at the end that really jump out at you. Salvatore, the next likely Don of his group, keeping a close eye on Adrianna, the new doctor of a nearby urgent care in his mafia’s territory. It was unexpected, but reading about how the big, bad “devil” develops a big soft spot for the feisty doctor was brilliant. Also, having both view points of the 2 main characters was so nice to have! My only wish was for the steamy scenes and action bits to be a touch longer, as it feels right when it gets good, the tale moves quickly along to the next big event. Super good!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially since it’s the first book that I’ve read from this author, and was not disappointed. It’s a dark, mafia romance book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark, mafia romance books. I was not able to kit this book down until I had finished from beginning to end in one sitting.
A ruthless mafia boss with a score to settle. A sassy heroine who’s not getting away. Will any chance at love survive the aftermath?
We knew the bloodbath was possible, just not when or how our enemies would strike. In a heart-wrenching minute of blazing guns, the responsibility of getting retribution for the savage Italian Crime Family falls to me, Salvatore Larussio.
The fair-skinned beauty should focus on doing as she’s told and been trained to do. Suture and bandage quickly to stem the flow of Larussio blood. Instead, Natasha boldly defies me, trying to appeal to decency that after today no longer exists.
A man surrounded by fear and deception can sense it, feel it, and smell it in the air. There’s far more to Adrianna underneath that icy exterior than she wants me or anyone to know. Despite that, she calls to my tainted soul as though she were put on earth just for me.
When I force the hot-tempered beauty to reveal her secrets, it can be our undoing, or a means to an end for a newly appointed Larussio King.
Or a revelation that will kill even the deepest of love.
Boss’s Vendetta is the explosive first book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. It is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, mafia romance. You will love these novels where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each book is a standalone that focuses on different couples in each book. They all have a guaranteed happily ever after, at the conclusion.
I’m excited to see where the author takes this series. I will be reading more of her books shortly.

Boss’s Vendetta (Sicilian Gods Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Boss's Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boss’s Vendetta is a dark, mafia, romance. Dr. Adrianna Palento sought out a job with the Larussio mob family, in Las Vegas. She secretly is looking for her father’s killer and believes it was someone in the Larussio family, even though she has never known her father. What she didn’t expect was Salvatore Larussio. Salvatore is the next in line to become don of the family and is also instantly taken by the new doctor. However, in the family, not just anyone is allowed to infiltrate their walls, so Salvatore trys to ignore the feeling. Whether or not Adrianna “hates” Salvatore and what he stands for, she refuses to let any one person suffer when hurt. The family is attacked during a wedding and many had to go into hiding, including the doctor. While “trapped” underground, Salvatore and Adrianna have a little bit of time to explore this attraction. However, what will happen when he finds out Adrianna’s secrets? Can he find a way to keep her safe from his own family?
Mafia romance is one of my favorite genres. I thought this particular mafia romance was a little different then the ones that I have recently read. I guess I feel that way because it seems more realistic then most. I enjoyed the mystery of the characters and the development of the romance between Salvatore and Adrianna. As characters go, Salvatore was your typical dark, semi-souless mafia boss. But I did enjoy that he was honest with her throughout the book about his darkness and what would happen to her if certain things took place. Adrianna, she was an amazing character. I thought she was realistic, smart, cunning, honest, and I really loved how she never showed fear to Salvatore. She always stood her ground even in the face of evil which made me love her even more. Adrianna was also brave as hell ever step of the way and in every decision she made!

As soon as I saw another book by this author I knew I had to start it straight away as all her books are so good. And this series is clearly going to be no exception. I was pulled into this book so easily. The story, the characters, it really does have it all. The book is full of suspense. I didn’t know which way it would go at any point, but I couldn’t wait to find out. I had too see how everything would turn out.
I loved the characters too. Their connection as intense and so real. I was drawn into them and it was like I couldn’t look away. Even after the book had finished I wanted to know more about them. If the rest of the series is as good as this book then I think we will be in for a serious ride, and I can’t wait to see what else is in store.

Salvatore knows he needs to take over as the Mafia Don, the latest threat to his family put everything in motion. With a Doctor on hand Salvatore is aware that Adrianna, is not a fan of him or his family. Something about the sexy Doctor with attitude to match pulls at him. He takes his shot with Adrianna, it is inevitable to not act on the chemistry but is Adriana everything she appears to be?

There is a lot to unfold about this story and definitely had me guessing what would happen. Fast paced read full of sizzling chemistry, action and intrigue. Salvatore is a complicated man whose personality radiates of the pages. Great match with Adriana. Really good book, highly entertaining.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 1 in the Scilian God’s series. This is a dark Mafia Romance and I loved it. As you would imagine with a Mafia Romance there is a lot of danger and intrigue, there is also a lot of passion and fierce protectiveness of the family and the women they love.
The connection between Salvatore and Adrianna is definately hot and electric. At first it’s not so much love as a hate relationship
Salvatore is a strong and powerful don. His main focus in on family business and protecting his Mafia family from harm. He seems cold and ruthless with no time for love and at times it seem like he has no capacity for love. That is until he meets Adrianna.
Adrianna is the doctor hired to take care of the patients at the hotel. Her job is to take care of the family without asking questions. She is a strong willed independent woman who doesn’t take kindly to a man telling her what to do or how she does it.
However the spark and connection she feels with Salvatore is too strong to ignore or turn away from.
However she has secrets and these secrets could threaten their romance and even cost her, her life?

What will happen if Salvatore let’s Adrianna in? Will he lose his focus and risk his family? What will happen when Adrianna’s secret is revealed? And how do you deny and connection and spark that is as powerful as the one between them?

I loved this story and I can’t wait to read more in this series .

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read many a dark mafia romance as it stands, but this series has opened up strong and addictive, just like I like my coffee. I absolutely admire both these characters life pursuits, their ambition, and their want to make the world a better place, even when their world isn’t full of silver linings and rainbows. Salvatore and Adrianna clearly stoke each others fire’s and when they really get down to the nitty gritty details, they find each other more consuming then their separate paths have been.

This authors attention to detail, world building and character development is talent to say the least, and I will certainly be reading more of this series as it becomes available. I didn’t want to put it down, and I have to admit, this was novel was devoured as though it was a novella. Highly recommend if action, sexy scenes, and a whole bunch of sexual tension is your thing. Well done!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boss’s Vendetta, first in the Sicilian Gods series, is gripping from start to finish. Via Mari perfectly captures jealousy and erotica in this mafia enemies-to-lovers romance, which features great characterisation, multiple point-of-views, and terrific world-building. The story follows Adrianna, successful doctor and strong, independent woman who knows how to put herself first, and Salvatore, mafia don with no heart and no soul. ‘Who could really ever love someone with a heart as black as mine?’ You can’t help but root for both characters and when you come to the end of one chapter, you can’t wait to start the next one. I highly recommend.

This book really held my grip, all the way through and then some! I could not put this one down. I was pulled in and held wanting more as I read, The author did an amazing job in bringing this to life!

The story was complex, as well as deep, but all in a good way. Strong characterization was a key point. Some darkness was aired through out the reading, but I found it helped make what the book was. Great take on a story line with Mafia. I was intrigued. Adriana Salvatore were written perfectly. I had hopes for them, despite their different lifestyles. I enjoyed the suspense and the story building as I read! Loved it!

Great read. Great start to a series, and I will be sure to read more by this author and the rest of the series. Not one to be passed up! Highly recommend this must read book and talented author!

OMG this author always keeps me on the edge of my seat and this book did that and so much more!! I always want to read fast to see what’s going to happen next but then I’m also torn because I want it all to last. Crazy right?

You could just tell their explosive chemistry was going to be off the charts. I can’t wait for more in this series and from this amazingly talented author!

I’m not sure I can say enough about this book. A new author to me and a new favorite!! Salvatore and the lovely doctor have the chemistry to watch. Starting off at the beginning, you felt like you should be behind a screen because they had the hots flowing. They may not have known it but the attraction was there. The drama was fantastico. There’s mafia warfare, romantic struggles and a bit of everything else you might expect. This story kept me engaged from the beginning all the way to the end. I absolutely could not get enough of it. I have since learned this is part of a series and I will be reading the whole thing. This is an excellent book that is going to the top of my list for 2022. You should try it if you like mafia and romantic suspense.
