Consigliere’s Revenge (Sicilian Gods Book 3) by Via Mari – Review by Maisie Dickinson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The story follows Lorenzo, consigliere to the Larussio crime family, and Isabella, a journalist who is determined to spill the dirt of every crime family in Vegas. Lorenzo realised the Larussio family could use Isabella’s skills to their advantage, but he doesn’t expect to fall in love with her. My favourite character is Isabella and my least favourite character – it’s the same every single time, evil man – is De Rosa. I recommend this book because I’ve now read the three of Via Mari’s Sicilian Gods series, and I’ve loved all three of them. Each one is full of angst and passion, with a different take on mafia romance each time, and I can’t forget the strong, independent women featured. I can’t wait to read her next book. I know this quote isn’t romantic, but it felt important to share: “Sometimes it feels like we deal with more sharks on the legitimate side of the business than when dealing with the men who sell arms to the highest bidder in the dirtiest of alleys. Perhaps it’s because we expect differently of them, but they are just as dirty if not dirtier than the rest of us.”

Lorenzo is in Vegas to help the family exact revenge n the De Rosa’s after the blood shed of his family Larussio, but he has a thorn in his side as consigliere, a reporter is telling the secrets of the mafia and he must stop her before more family secrets are print across the papers.

Isabella is determined to expose the dirty under belly of the Mafia in Vegas, from the De Rosa’s feud to the revenge of the Larussio family, so when she gets access to to the inner sanctum of the VIP floor of Larussio’s hotel she sees things which would make a great story, upon leaving she is stopped by him, The Consigliere, he should scare her but with his dark soulless eyes and his alpha present she is attracted to this fascinated man who in one order could have her killed. But there is something there she can’t quite understand, but she has learnt not to trust these powerful men.

Lorenzo see’s her and instantly is drawn to her, once he makes her a proposition to work with them, she is his not just in work but in body too, can he get Izzy to trust him and love him back?

OMG, I love this series. This book although the third book in the Sicilian Gods Series you can read as a stand alone as each book focuses on one member of the family. This happens to be Lorenzo’s book which what a fast paced brilliant read. Lorenzo in the other books has always been a fleeting character and it was nice to read his “Forever Love” story. The character of Izzy was a brilliant equal to his character with fight and sass and it seems all your woman have the strength running through which makes them brilliant alpha ladies to these violent alpha males.

The only regret I have is not getting more of the Izzy’s relationship with “Families” in Italy as there is certainly a back story there which would be fascinating to read, also to understand the secret her father is keeping as that really peaked my interest but that may be in a different story relating to other characters we will see.

The story was well written and the two characters where just the right air of illusion to each other and to see the trust and chemistry build was brilliant to discovery.

Please, Please make Sergio your next story, he needs calming down with the love of a good woman, LOL.

I just love these dark mafia romances by this author. In this particular book, we get insight into the Lurussio’s family’s consigliere, Lorenzo. He is a dark, private, intense man, but on the inside, he is more caring then he lets on, but only for Isabella. Isabella is a reporter that is trying to secretly get the scoop on the mafia families of Vegas. However, Lorenzo, as consigliere, he knows all and calls her out when caught in one of their private clubs. The chemistry between the two is instant. In addition, they are both familiar with circumstances because Isabella’s father use to work for the family. Because of the attraction and her father, the Lurussio family offers her a deal to be their reporter and write the stories they want to be published. Isabella takes the job because, well does she really have a choice? It definitely starts as a love-hate relationship that quickly advances to love-love. However, being someone who is trying to spill the family’s secrets, will need to try really hard to gain her trust, but she needs it from him too, the lady’s man. Can the two of them find common ground to do what is best for all families involved? Can they learn to trust each other, even when love is clearly present?
As all the other books in this series, it was a great, quick, sexy read. The author has a great way of just getting to the point – I am not a slow-burn lover and this author never keeps you waiting. Both characters were quite loveable and you can see the growth of love they both portray for each other. I also love that you can see the trust unfold through the story on both sides – it just makes the love story seem more believable. I am not sure if this is the end of the series it seemed like yes, but I know there are more characters that can become important pieces for the family so I hope to continue to read more on the Lurussio family.

This book is another incredible addition to an already amazing series. I could not wait to pick this one up and start reading, I had to see what the author had in store. The story is just as intense and captivating as the others and I loved reading about the characters. Their chemistry was undeniable and I was pulled into their connection instantly. I knew once I started this book I wouldn’t be able to put it down because I had to see how the story would develop.
This author creates fantastic stories and this one is no exception. Whenever I see a new book by her I pick it up without hesitation. I cannot recommend her books highly enough and I am already excited to see what the next one will be.

Consigliere’s Revenge is Book Three in the Sicilian Gods series. When beautiful reporter Izzy Arden shows up uninvited to the Larussio Crime Family’s nightclub, Lorenzo Larussio is immediately hit with a wave of anger. As Consigliere to the crime family, it is up to him to seek retribution towards anyone who threatens their position in the crime world. Izzy is nosy and poses a threat to the Larussio family as she digs for dirt on the family to expose them. Lorenzo’s job is to control Izzy but instead he finds himself drawn not only to her immense beauty but her feisty attitude.

As Izzy delves deeper into the Larussio Crime Family and exposes their secrets through her articles she knows the danger it poses for her. Stories and photos of the going-ons of the Larussio’s sell papers because people want to know about them. Women, especially, fawn over the Larussio men and she fails to understand the attraction. Or she did, up until she met Lorenzo. Although she knows the family is heavily involved in the criminal underworld, she cannot help but be attracted to Lorenzo Larussio. Can a relationship between them even be a possibility?

This book was intense from the first few pages as Lorenzo, Consigliere to the Larussio Crime Family, sets his sights on Izzy. His job is to protect his family at all costs and her stories exposing his family’s dark secrets threatens to destroy all they have worked for. Lorenzo is dark, sinister, and deadly which makes him the perfect person to keep his family safe. Yet, when he meets Izzy, something about the stunningly beautiful reporter causes a shift in him. Izzy knows her job is dangerous, but she does not back down easily. She is determined to fight for the truth even if it puts her life at risk. When Izzy meets Lorenzo, she too feels a strong attraction to him that cannot be denied. As the passion between them intensifies, so does the danger. When Izzy’s life is in jeopardy Lorenzo will do anything to keep the woman, he loves safe. Brace yourself for an intense read full of action, suspense, danger, passion, intrigue, and violence as Lorenzo and Izzy work through the complexities of their relationship.

If you have read the first two stories of the Sicilian God’s books then you know this is a family business and it is serious. In this tale, you meet Lorenzo and Isabella, Izzy for short. Izzy is a reporter and is determined to get the story and gets an extra with Lorenzo.What happens when her article causes her danger? Will Lorenzo save her? The novels get better each time. I recommend reading them all.

The story of Lorenzo and Izzy is just as intense and suspenseful as the previous ones in this series. Thus dark mafia tale of revenge will have you on the edge-of-your-seat waiting to find out what happens and you won’t be able to put your Kindle down. The characters are so good. You can feel the emotions and their personalities. The premise of the book is fantastic and the flow is smooth and flowing. I found this to be a wonderful addition to the series.

Consigliere’s Revenge is the third thrilling book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. This instalment of the fantastic dark mafia series is a gripping romantic suspense with an enemies-to-lovers element, tension, secrets, action, forced proximity, rivalry, challenges, investigation, danger, intensity, passion, chemistry, sizzle, mafia politics, family, loyalty, agendas, emotion, twists and turns, angst, violence, revenge, threats, and high stakes.
Izzy has a nose for a great story, but this time she may have stepped into the lion’s den and captured the attention of a dangerous beast with dark secrets he needs to keep buried. Lorenzo is the consigliere of the Larussio Crime Family and will do what ever it takes to protect his family. Get set, because the sparks are about to fly….What happens makes for quite an intense and riveting read.
This is the third book in the series and although you could read it as a standalone if you wanted without feeling lost or confused as each book focuses on a different ‘couple, who have their own story to tell, there are recurring characters and other relevant details that I think you would want to know leading into this book/series. So, I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one, as knowing what has happened previously will definitely enhance your reading experience of this third instalment, as well as the series, as a whole.
As I have mentioned many times now, I have read all of Via Mari’s book and have loved every single one of them. This talented author never fails to deliver a sexy and enticing read that grabs me and keeps me glued to the pages as all the gritty, raw, and intriguing developments unfold. I always go into her books with extremely high expectations, and she has never let me down!
Can’t wait for more!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Via Mari!

I love, love, love Via’s work. Via is known for writing steamy dark mafia romances and I have love each and every one of them. I jumped to grab a copy when I saw this new book was out. Consigliere’s Revenge is the third gripping book in the Sicilian Gods series. Make sure you read them in order or you will be missing out on all this dark and delectable goodness. Via does dark and dangerous so well that you are sad when the final page draws near.
In the dark of the crime world these ruthless, dangerous and powerful men do not play around when their backs are up you can be sure that there will be retribution, retaliation and sweat, sweat revenge.
It is a deliciously dark, enemies to lover’s mafia romance. It is gritty, raw and brutal, savage and sinful, passionate and bloody, intense and violent. But once you are in their hearts there is nothing they will stop at to keep you safe. With heartache, action, twists and turns, secrets, lies, danger, scars, mistrust, enemies, crime lords and so much more there is something for everyone and to keep the pages turning and become lost in this extraordinary world.
There are no spoilers here because you have to devour this tale and take it all in on your own.
As usual I can’t wait for more!

This is an author that I have read every book by her and loved each one. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her ability to pull me into the story with ease. Her books are well written and hard to put down. This book is no different. It is the third book in this series. It can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enjoyment of this author. The characters are strong, steamy and supportive of each other. They pull you into their world and keep you coming back for more. They have great growth and their chemistry is off the charts. This is a fast paced story that has a little bit of suspense added to the romance. I really enjoyed this story and found it easy to read. I highly recommend this book and this author. A must read!

Everyone expects retaliation from the Larussio Crime Family after the brutal attack by our rivals and kidnapping of our innocent cousin.
The job for ensuring our retribution is well-thought-out, precise, and maintains our family’s position in the crime world falls to me, Lorenzo Larussio, Consigliere to the boss and underboss of our family.
My mind is absorbed with nothing but that…
Until the beautiful reporter who calls to my dark, sinister soul shows up at our casino, dressed to kill, leaving me unable to rid her from my mind.
Izzy Arden’s article hits a little too close home, and it’s up to me to ensure our secrets remain buried like those of our dead and not inked all over the world for everyone to see.
The fiery beauty is a force to be reckoned with, though, and not easily subdued. She fights for the truth no matter the danger, her emotional scars and mistrust pushing her to write about our most sacred traditions even knowing the threat it may bring.
Our enemies see her as a way to get to me. They shouldn’t have come for her, though, because now they’ll see why rumored in the back-alley streets of Italy they whisper Cosa Nostra with fear.
They will pay dearly for taking what does not belong to them, but will it cost me the one woman I’ve ever loved when she sees me for who I really am?
