My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was fantastic. I loved the ferocity of Emelia. She is not one mafia princess that I would mess with. Best book of the series so far!!!

Emelia knew she was in danger when her father told her and her brother to flee. When she was found Emelia thought it was the end. Little did she know it was just the beginning.

Dominic was a vicious soldier and knew what he needed to do. Dominic thought he was lucky to capture the two youngest DeRosa children. He knew his Don would be pleased, they would have the edge. But things never go to plan. Not only that, a strange protective instinct when it comes to Emelia has blossomed. Dominic will do what he has to do to save his family but will that cost him his new obsession, Emelia?

I loved the action, the banter, the tenderness Dom shows, the cunning Emelia possesses and all of it. Emelia is badass!!! I absolutely despise what happened to Leo. My heart ached for Emelia. I can’t wait for the wedding!! Totally loving this series!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Underboss’s Retaliation is a dark mafia romance about enemy families. Dominic is the new underboss of the Larussio family. The Larussio family is trying to retaliate against the De Rosa family ever since they attacked and killed a handful of people from their family at a wedding. While Dominic is getting his revenge on the De Rosa’s, they capture the boss’s daughter. Emelia De Rosa is an educated female, but very much hidden from the work of her father’s life. She was taught how to somewhat protect herself, but not enough. She is feisty, and Dominic is highly attracted to that. While she tries to escape, she realizes that she is highly attracted to Dominic as well. The two of them know that this match can not happen, but can they resist each other? What does this mean for Emelia – she is the prisoner and the enemy’s daughter?
I enjoyed this book very much. I love a good dark mafia romance, enemies-to-lovers trope. I thought the story was quickly moving which kept my interest. The main characters were also loveable, even Dominic. Dominic is demanding, strong, and a little possessive, but also has respect for women. He shows a lot of honesty in her presence when he can. This mafia family takes care of their own which allows Emelia to feel pretty safe, even when she shouldn’t. Emelia is a great character. She is feisty, smart, and witty, but also very understanding. She also shows how much family means to her and that she too is willing to protect family, if they are deserving of it. This is the second of the series that I have read and probably will continue to follow the story.

The story of Dominic and Emelia is unique, Emelia being the sweet mafia princess ends up in Dominic’s lap when a revenge plan comes to fruition between the warring crime families. It’s their choices that lead to them tempting fate and going after each other although they’re not supposed to. They seem to be unable to stay away from each other even though she’s supposed to be his prisoner and leverage to get more information about their family, The connection that they have is too strong to stop and neither one wants to. When the danger kicks up a notch, it’s a race against the clock to save the other or lose them along with something else, their life. Can they get past the den of vipers otherwise known as their families or will the viper strike before they’re ready?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Via Mari does not disappoint with her series. The second book is full of well written characters, twists, turns, and romance. It is not the light hearted romance, but that deep dark romance. She captures the enemies to lovers essence laced into the story. This book picks up where the first ended. As such, I do recommend reading them in order. You won’t regret it!

This story focuses on mafia enemies, Dominic and Emelia. The cruel reality of the world of crime doesn’t slow a beat for anyone trapped in the dark web. All actions have consequences. Especially between rival families. That doesn’t mean all consequences end the way one thinks they might.

Does it end with good or bad consequences for our enemy mafia main characters? Start reading now to find out!

I honestly love this author so much, I don’t even bother reading the blurb for her stories anymore as I just know they are going to be amazing and as predicted this book was no different and she definitely upped the ante I this book that’s for sure! Twists and turns galore and I was practically on the edge of my seat the whole way through – there was suspense, romance and w whole lot more! I think for me it was Emelia who stole the show – she was such an amazing character – I absolutely loved her!
Fabulous dark read – I cannot wait for more from this author!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another smashing story from this series and this author! I loved the passion, the excitement and the actions of these characters. I was enthralled from the first page! Honestly that activity held up through most of the book dazzling me more as the story went on.

I really liked Emelia as she is everything a woman wants to be. I only wish she was a bit older because some of the attitude and fiery passion comes with age. Maybe about 7 yrs older but not a lot. My other only complaint is the overuse of the word “Capiche”. It just felt unnatural with it ending every sentence in the beginning.

Overall a captivating storyline and amazingly well done characters. I look forward to the next in this series.

Emelia and Dominic are members of opposing families, but once Dominic takes Emelia in response to her family’s actions, he intent on staking his claim. Dominic and Emelia can’t shake attraction even with the risk. This is a dark mafia romance gave us plenty of twists and turns, suspense, intrigue and steamy moments. I immediately liked Dominic and how he still had a moral code and wasn’t willing to waver on it. Emelia is a strong female that is the perfect match to Dominic. Definitely an enjoyable read.

Just wow! The first book in the series was amazing, and this 2nd book is just as good if not better. Dominic is out for blood after the attack on his family by the De Rosa family. Emelia De Rosa is the princess of her family and exactly who Dominic is looking to capture. Once he gets her, he quickly learns that she is more than meets the eye. Emelia is a force all her own. Which side will come out on top and will they be able to deny the attraction they feel for the enemy? I love love love Emelia! My favorite character in a book filled with great characters.

Underboss’s Retaliation is the 2nd book in the Dark Mafia Romance series. I did not read the first book, and still enjoyed this one. I could tell it was an ongoing story, and there was references to previous events. However, the author provided enough detail that it wasn’t lacking. It is similar to other mafia romance books, but I really enjoyed it. The characters are well written, and their love and devotion to the Family is undeniable. It had a good balance of suspense and romance. Dominic is strong and loyal, but can be sweet under his terrifying outside. Emelia is feisty as all get out, and I love how strong females tend to be written in these books. I look forward to reading the rest of the

This is book 2 and continues with the Larussio family going up against the De Rosa family. This book picks up where book 1 ended. Even giving a glimpse into book 1 in the first few pages.

This time the story is primarily about Dominic and Emelia. Which they are from opposite families that are enemies. So the first few chapters kind of give that Romeo and Juliet vibe. I love how Emelia is shown to be stronger than thought to be!

Emelia and Dominic cross a line that can never be un-crossed and no matter what one of them would have to give up their family lineage if they wanted to be together. Emelia shows just how strong she is and Dominic shows her how far he will go to protect her.

I can’t wait to follow more of this family and see how this all plays out. I’m glad that each one is centered around a particular person.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Coming from enemy mafias, Dominic and Emelia should not feel an attraction to each other, but they do. Aside from being forbidden, they should also stay away from each other because Dominic’s cousin has been kidnapped by Emelia’s father and Dominic has taken Emelia until his cousin is released. The biggest problem, though, is they just can’t stay away from each other.
Opinion
I’m a huge fan of Via Mari’s mafia books. While they offer some gore, they are much more about relationships, and not just between the man and woman but between family members as well. Just reading through them can almost make you envious of the support the families have.
This book was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the fact that Dominic and Emeila are from rival mafia’s. That is not necessarily something I expect in a mafia romance book.

Dominic Larussio is one bad underboss. He is known to be cruel and to make sure his family is safe. Being so ruthless he has more than he can handle when he meets the beautiful Emelia. She is off limits as she is the daughter of a rival crime family. Emelia is not only beautiful but she has got to be one of the strongest women I have read about in a long time. This story could be a standalone, but I feel you should read the series in order. The author of this book has written one of the most intense stories ever. The story is fast paced and non stop action. The characters are strong and independent for their mafia families. Many feelings will be brought out when you read this book. Be sure to have tissue, chocolate and something to drink as you will not be putting this on down until THE END.

What a good dark, mysterious, crime and passion filled story!

Adrianna had come to work for the Larussio family under seemingly false pretenses. Keeping secrets of her own until a horrific incident occurred that required her to be closer than ever to the family.

Mafia secrets come out and the path of Salvatore changed the minute he met Adrianna. When her own secrets come out he is faced with choices, on top of the decisions he’s making for the family already.

This book did not disappoint in the anticipation of what was going to happen next. A few twists and that was just what was needed to keep you guessing! I’ve read a few other books by this author and yet again not a disappointment in this story.

Underboss’s Retaliation Arc is the second in Via Mari’s Sicilian Gods series. It follows straight on from Boss’s Vendetta, this time revolving around cousin Dominic – who would ‘do it all again, risk everything for the woman I barely know but whose heart and mind beats in time to my own’ – and the badass mafia princess from the rival crime family, Emelia. There is even a link to Mari’s Cruel Deception series, of which I have read Degrees of Innocence. I’ve read three of her books this year and I am becoming a huge fan. The romance, the passion, the danger, it all keeps you hooked. Every time I pick up one of her books, I cannot put it back down, and Underboss’s Retaliation Arc has proven this again. I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

Underboss’s Retaliation is the second book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. It is another fantastic dark mafia romantic suspense with an enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity element- as well as danger, intensity, drama, action, chemistry, sizzle, agendas, mafia politics, high stakes, emotion, twists and turns, passion, secrets, lies, angst, heartache, violence, and much more.
As I have mentioned so 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 never fails to keep me glued to the pages as all the gritty, raw, and intriguing developments unfold. I always go in with extremely high expectations, and she never lets me down!
I can’t wait to get my hands on Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Via Mari!

This was a great 5 star read. This author has quickly become one of my favorite dark mafia authors. This is the second book in the series, I would suggest reading book one first. This is a great enemy to lovers. Dominic and Emelia had quite the chemistry but only problem is she is the daughter of a rival. Will they be able to work things out to be together? I really liked these two, I had lol moments during their bantering. We get some thrilling twists and turns that added a great element to the story. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down, the author pulls you right in with her writing. If you’re looking for a great dark mafia read, 1-click and get started today.

This book was action packed, tense, romantic, and full of suspense as well. I highly recommend this book as well as the first one.

If you are looking for action, great characters and lots of romance you should definitely give Underboss’s Retaliation a try. As always, Via Mari takes you on a dangerous journey of being in a Mafia Family. This book can be read on its own but honestly I would recommend reading them all since they are so good. I never imagined that a Mafia Romance book would grab my attention as much as this one. Dominic is just a strong alpha male with all the good and bad that comes with it. Emelia is a strong and loyal character. I can’t recommend this book enough. The best part is that it has a HEA.

Via’s writing fills the need in me to lose myself in fantastic dark and gritty stories with hot and sexy alpha men and Underboss’s Retaliation does just that. It is the second book in the fabulous Sicilian Gods series and what a tale she has woven for her readers.
I love deliciously dark Mafia Protector Romances and Via is just so good at writing them. This enemies to lovers is explosive in more ways than one. There is drama and angst, lies and passion, fear and secrets, pain and action. It is raw and brutal, savage and sinful, passionate and bloody.
One wrong move makes for a deadly outcome. In a world where loyalty is everything. A deadly game in an already deadly world. Ruthless criminals, dangerous and powerful men in the evil underground world where blood on your hands are a given. Where hot heads and passion rule.
Revenge may well be his ruin?
Oh how I love Via’s work. I can’t wait for more!

For those of you who don’t know, Via Mari is an amazing author and her books literally never disappoint. Underboss’s Retaliation is no exception. I loved the plot and the characters in this one. This is a great enemies to lovers story with a plot unlike no other. This one will take you on a wild ride as you read it. I found it so hard to put down. The banter between Dominick and Emelia was amazing and I definitely didn’t know what was going to happen between them as I read. I love the added dimension of them being from rival families. This book did not disappoint at all!
