So the Larussio family is still feuding with the FebRosa family and we really pick up where we left off in book 1 ….

Dominic and Emilia are the focal point this time round and I felt there was a bit of a Romeo and Juliet spin to it which just hit the spot for me but thing gets really intense when these 2 lovebirds cross a line …. She’s willing to give it all up for him and he’s willing to protect her at any cost

There’s so much going on here drama ,violence , angst , steamy and swoony moments , heartache and I just had the time of my life , when I talk of the character people think they’re real ! I know I get really involved 😉❣️📚

Can’t wait to read the next one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love all these dark mafia romance books, they are some of my favorites to read. This one was exceptional from the get go.

Lorenzo is the consigliere to the Larussio mafia family, whose job it is to ensure the Larussio family maintains their position in the crime world. So when an innocent family member is kidnapped he knows retribution must follow and is planning on how to execute that so everyone knows not to try something like it again. Then in walks Izzy, a reporter who is hell bent on uncovering and reporting all of the mafia’s dirty little secrets. She is not even on Lorenzo’s radar until he spots her in the VIP section of the Larussio property. This becomes a battle of not only attraction but wits as Izzy aims to expose the mafia for what it truly is. The attraction is palpable between them and with Izzy being a thorn in their side she is offered a job to write the stories they want her to publish. It definitely starts out as a love hate relationship that quickly evolves but there are enormous trust issues on both sides. Can Lorenzo trust someone who is determined to air the mafia’s secrets? Can Izzy trust someone whose past is as dark as his eyes? Will they ever be able to find common ground to make a relationship work or is it doomed to fail?

This was an amazingly well written book that I for one could not put down. The characters are well thought out and diverse. The action starts from the very first page to keep the reader immersed and engaged throughout. This book is a keeper and I will recommend it to everyone I meet that enjoys reading any type of book because this has a bit of everything in it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love this series. This thrilling addition will keep you wondering the entire time, who is playing who. Lorenzo and Izzy’s chemistry will singe you through the page.

Lorenzo’s smug confidence makes him perfectly suited for his role as Consigliere. As he fights for his family, he encounters a woman fighting for her’s by seeking revenge. Lorenzo must find a way to protect his family while finding his heart.

Izzy is a woman dead set in what she knows, or what she thinks she knows. Izzy is dead set on getting revenge for her father. This has her crossing one of the strongest mafia families and has put her in the crosshairs of Lorenzo. Can they work together against a common enemy once Izzy has more information regarding what really happened to her father without tearing each other apart?

As Izzy and Lorenzo battle each other, danger continues to seep in from the outside. Will Lorenzo be able to protect Izzy from everyone including herself? Through the multiple twists and turns, this author proves why she is one of the best again and again. Amazing addition to the series.

Consigliere’s Revenge: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 3)

Wow! I loved this book! There was never a dull moment and it kept me on the edge of my seat.

Izzy had no fear of the Consigliere for the Larussio family, or for anyone else for that matter when she maybe should have considering the power.

Lorenzo is the sexy, dark and dangerous type that is a great combination for a book boyfriend when in reality my husband is anything but dangerous.

I have been hooked on the Larussio family since I met them and I’m so glad they are a large Italian family with lots of men who need a good woman.

I picked up this book and read it as a standalone instead of the entire series. I didn’t feel lost, but I am absolutely going back to pick up the first two books now! Consigliere’s Revenge is an incredible mafia romance with plenty of action, suspense, and steamy. Every time I thought I had the next move figured out, Via Mari would twist and turn the other way keeping me on my toes. I love that I never felt jarred out of the story with a bad flow or inconsistencies. This author did an amazing job creating a world that you feel like you dive right into with Lorenzo and Izzy. I’m picking up the previous books in the series now, so don’t pass this one up. It’s THAT good!

Lorenzo is the consigliere of the Larussio crime family and he is the cruelest of the family. In the dark of the crime world, the Larussio’s are ruthless, dangerous, and powerful men who do not play around. Izzy is a reporter and is determined to get the story but gets the inside scoop from Lorenzo. Anyone who sees Lizzy and Lorenzo together can see that they have the same passion and fire that the other men in the Larussio family do. So when the DaRosas seek retaliation on the Larussio they go right for the reporter.
This is the third book in this series and it was just as fantastic as the first two. I could not put this book down. I have come to really enjoy this author and can’t wait to get my hands on more of her books.

Dominic Larussio is never played by any rules other than the ones the family set forth. Still, even those weren’t always followed. Emelia Rosa, the mafia princess of their rival, happens to just fall in the lap of the Larussio during the revenge battle how could Dominic pass that opportunity up. With the kidnapping of his younger cousin, and the bloodshed at his cousin’s wedding it was time for the DaRosas to get payback and Emelia was as perfect as it came. Just like the first book in this series, the relationship between Dominic and Emelia is one of hot/cold with a whole lot of love/hate. One of the best acts of revenge that Emelia can get on her father is showing up to a family funeral on the arm of her father’s sworn enemy.
Yet, again this author did not disappoint! This book was so full of action, love, war, and steamy at parts that I could not put it down nor did I want to. I needed to keep reading to find out what happened next.

This instalment focuses on Lorenzo and Isabella. Once again, the story was written well and almost comes to life on the pages whilst the chemistry between the characters sizzles and leaps off the pages.

I once again loved the female lead, Isaabella, she’s strong and independent, and fights for what she believes in, I admire that.

This book is full of action, danger and more. It is probably my favourite of the 3 books so far, not only because of the couple’s chemistry where I was rooting for them, but also because the storyline was not entirely as expected, it was so much better.

This series can be read as standalones but for the characters growth and underlying events which occur, I would recommend reading this series in order.

Adrianna had a mission when she applied for the Urgent Care position at the Larussio Casino. Little did Adrianna know just how busy she would be patching up the Mafia members of the Larussio crime family. Salvatore Larussio is a dark eye, devil soul who is ruthless. Adrianna is a sassy, spit-fire who needs to learn to do as she’s told and stop worrying about the thing she has no business worrying about.
This Italian Crime Family was a non-stop page-turner. The emotional and sexual push and pull between Adrianna and Salvatore is so well written that you can feel it threw every page. I loved reading this story so much that I could not put the book down. I am going to continue reading this series.

Consigliere's Revenge (Sicilian Gods Book 3)Consigliere’s Revenge by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lorenzo Larussio is the Consiglière for the Larussio family at their base of operations in Las Vegas where their resort is one of the most sought after and the one with the strictest check to enter, especially on the floor with the high rollers and Lorenzo has his work cut out for him as he finds his way in this new home and the challenges it presents for him. Izzy Arden is a journalist, she is a determined woman who knows what she wants and the stubborn streak she needs to get it, especially in the cut throat world she works in, but she is known for her truth seeking and not mincing her words when she writes, but when she is confronted by a pair of dark eyes and a sexy body, she is more determined than ever to discover his secrets.

As soon as he lays eyes on her, Lorenzo recognised Izzy from across the room and immediately asks how she got there and who she was with, she should not have been able to access this area without a full background check and he is determined to discover how she did it, so when he confronts her in the elevator as he escorts her out, her quick wit and fiery temper match her red hair and hot body to match and this throws him completely off balance. Meanwhile, she calls her boss, telling him she has what he wants, but that he has to deal with her on her terms, to which he agrees and refreshes her memory about the clients she has waiting in the wings for her story and true to her word, she has it ready for the next days edition.

As Lorenzo wakes to find a hot story about his family gracing the front pages, he knows that he has to do something about the inquisitive journalist, but just what is something he has to figure out and time runs out for that and a quick decision has to be made after some juicy titbits are about to be yet another release by a certain redhead who turned up at a family event she most definitely was not invited to. Meanwhile, Izzy is made an offer which she knows she can’t refuse by Lorenzo, so she grudgingly accepts, knowing that although she will still be reporting, it may not be the full truth as she sees it, but add into the mix a handsome mafia in a well fitting designer suit, she knows that if the attraction between them is two sided, she is in more than just choppy waters. As Lorenzo gives in to the attraction between himself and Izzy, he cannot help but try to win her trust as well.

When danger calls and threats made to Izzy come true, will she be able to keep her journalistic integrity under pressure and what will Lorenzo do to get her back, will he unleash his inner demons on the world and remind the opposition why he is called Cosa Nostra back in his homeland and what will Izzy do when she discovers this side of him? This is a fast paced romantic suspense which is action packed and full to the brim of mistrust, secrets, lies, revelations and some steamy bedroom antics thrown in for good measure as this dark mafia romance flows from beginning to end as rivalries and bloodshed play out over the vista of Las Vegas.

I loved the character of Emelia. She’s strong, determined to protect her family and she’s resourceful.

Dominic and Emelia had me invested in their relationship and the outcome, both characters showed themselves to be more than met the eye at face value and loyal to those they care about.

I thoroughly enjoyed this instalment in the series, and will get started on the next book immediately.

This story is full of suspense, action, secrets and of course romance. It’s a well-written and enjoyable to read with lovable characters.

I love Salvatore’s protectiveness and loyalty – he comes across as cold but underneath it, there’s more than meets the eye.

I admired Adrianna’s strength and independence, standing her ground even in the face of danger.

The two together share sizzling chemistry and I was rooting for them from the beginning. I’m glad I came across this book and will move onto the next book as soon as possible.

This is the third book in the Sicilian Gods series and omg they just keep getting better and better. I have loved all of these books and I do recommend reading them from the beginning so you get the complete story the crime families and why they are in the situation they are today.
This is a enemies to lovers story based around a Mafia family and their bitter fights with other families. As you can imagine there is plenty of danger, threats, violence, secrets and lies that will get uncovered as the story develops.
One thing I love about the men in the Larussio men is they are scary and they fight hard but they also protect and love the people closest to them just as hard.
In this story we are with Lorenzo. At first I thought he was the most scary of the family. He is all business and doesn’t bat an eye at threatening people to protect his family. Which is how he encounters Izzy.
Izzy is a determined reporter, scared of nothing and no one not even Lorenzo. But she is hiding secrets about her past too about who she truly is and why she is so determined to uncover the truth about the Larussio’s.
The attraction between them is intense and something neither one of them can deny but with Izzy’s trust issues this isn’t going to be an easy romance.
And with their enemies now looking at her as a way to bring down Lorenzo, he will protect her with everything he has and God help anyone who tries to take her away from him.

This is an amazing read that is full of twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. This author delivers amazing books everytime and i can’t wait to see what is instore next.

Consigliere’s Revenge is the third book in the Sicilian Gods Series and is a Mafia Romance with a bit of suspense that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I devoured this book in one afternoon. As with any book by this author you are pulled into the characters world and feel everything they are experiencing. I’m a huge fan of Mafia Romance and a even bigger fan of this author. I never hesitate to read whatever she writes and I love each one. I highly recommend reading this series in order as each book is about a different couple but there are characters that overlap in each story plus you get a better idea of what has happened and you get to know the characters . This story is packed with drama, revenge, action, loyalty and so much more. Get ready for some serious sparks to fly in this intense story. I highly recommend reading to find out what happens next as you don’t want to miss it. As always I look forward to reading more from this Author.

I can’t believe that we are already three books into this series. That being said you can definitely read this is a stand alone but seriously why would you want to. You have two other books before this of amazing mafia men that you won’t want to miss out on. Okay, this book is hands down amazing and grips koi to the words within the first chapter. You won’t want to do anything else other than read what is on the pages. You will try to figure things out as you go along but you won’t be able to. That is what I loved the most about this book. When I thought it was going to go one way it went a different way. I am a huge fan of the mafia trope and these books do no let me down. You will find the right amount of suspense, steam, character development, and just honestly good writing. The book brings into the plot the other two books but if you haven’t read them, you will want to. However the author makes it to where you understand what is going on and aren’t left clueless. It is a quick read with the need to finish it in one day. I personally recommend reading the other two books in the series first because I love this series and the mafia men in them. However, if you don’t have time you will be fine. You will want to read the others after finishing this one because you will be sucked into the story line and want to know everything about this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 2 begins at the De Rosa mansion when the Larussio’s come in at the end of book 1, when Dominic takes off to find the younger De Rosa children. It picks up very quickly and focuses on the magnetic attraction between Dominic Larussio and Emilia De Rosa as he snatches her to take to their warehouse for information.

Dominic realizes very quickly that Emilia is no little princess, shielded from everything their lives entail. In fact, she is wildly resourceful and has a major desire to help her family and bring down her enemy. Her lack of fear when faced with danger not only keeps her alive in many situations, but earns her Dominic’s admiration and respect, beyond his attraction to her and their magnetic pull towards one another.

There are some things Dominic chooses to keep to himself, both things from Sal and the family as well as from Emilia while he tries to balance everything, find out who is behind which terrible act and why, make a plan to protect his family and the woman he is falling in love with…with some good passionate sections and good brutality to make sure you don’t forget exactly who you’re reading about. Well written, nice world building, gritty without being grotesque, and characters you can’t help but root for.

Lorenzo has come to Las Vegas from the old country to help tie up loose ends from Sal taking the lead in the family and Dom becoming underboss, and their previously told stories. He knows that part of his job as Consigliere is to handle the stories that come out and spin things however they need.

In this case, he knows he needs to keep his eyes on the talented and gorgeous red headed reporter, Izzy Arden. She has been circling stories of the mafia issues arising between the Larussio’s and De Rosa’s. When she manages to steal a key card that gets her to the secret, members-only top floor it proves to be a push too far. Following them to the cemetary as they lay to rest the family lost at the wedding reception is what first gets Lorenzo to approach her and the burn of undeniable interest between them starts immediately.

Thus begins a delicate balancing act between what Izzy writes, what Lorenzo reads, the story she expertly weaves to lead anyone picking up a paper to believe what she wants them to believe…and the risks involved in getting in a relationship with a mafia man. Their passion is explosive, the weaving together and tying loose ends between the previous two books is artful, and it is a fascinating back and forth between seeing how dark Lorenzo can be while also being a fair man who can love deeply and sincerely.

I honestly don’t know how she does it every time I say that’s my favourite until I read the next one! This book was just fantastic, this book is definitely dark and delicious from the very start. Lorenzo and Izzy’s story was amazing, she was definitely a match for him and I loved that about the two characters.
This book could be read as a standalone but I would 100% recommend reading them in order, you won’t be disappointed!!
