My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in this mafia romance series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I advise you go back and read the first for a better understanding of some characters/the world the characters inhabit.

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.

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.

Book 2 in the Sicilian Gods series, this book is about Dominic and Emelia are from two enemy families. Unlike Dominic who is involved in the family business, Emelia has been sheltered from her family dealings and business. Don’t get it wrong though, Emelia is a strong smart character. I really enjoyed getting to know more about Dominic in this book and love the continuation of the first book spilling into this second book. The author did a great job keeping the story moving and adding the new characters into it. I had a hard time putting the book down at bed time or whenever I had a few minutes to read it.

Overall this was a very good book. The plot moved along that it did not become stale but had twist and turns so that it wasn’t easy for the reader to guess.
The beginning started out just a little confusing, I think more context was needed but that was very easy to overcome! Even having not read the first one it did not take away from this book!

This is one of those Mafia stories that shows it all. The inner workings of the Mafia families, the fights, the shootouts. The author does an amazing job with character building too. Emelia is a badass spitfire who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself. While Dominic is the underboss who is protective of her from the jump. Enemies to lovers in one of the most dangerous worlds possible. Definitely worth the read.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This story follows Dominic and Emelia, who get tangled up after a battle between the two crime families in Las Vegas leaves Emelia in the hands of her enemy.
The good is that the overall plot and character development are decent; it’s an interesting storyline. There are some things I wasn’t all that impressed with, though, and some of it bordered on annoying. The use of “capiche” to emphasize certain statements struck me as a bit tacky in the dialogue. Some of the push-pull between the main characters felt forced or just not entirely plausible. There were a few points where the characters get flirty or frisky shortly after some big tragic event takes place, so it feels like the reader is getting steamrolled a bit for the sake of some manufactured sizzle.

Dominic Larussio, new underboss of one of the most dangerous crime families, falls for a woman that should be his enemy. After the attack on his family, making his cousin Salvatore the new don, Dominic should not want anything to do with this enthralling young beauty. Book two follows Dominic’s experience with love. Does the rival’s daughter cause an end to the Larussio reign, or does she become Dominic’s love? Find out in Underboss’s Retaliation.
Again, all characters are lovable with realistic feelings. The emotions are palpable through the pages. I would not change a single thing. Full of romance, mystery, and suspense, I could not but Underboss’s Retaliation down.
The series can be a standalone, but I highly suggest reading Boss’s Vendetta first. It sets the stage for Underboss’s Retaliation. If you are looking for a dark romance series, be sure to check out Sicilian Gods.

I thought that this series couldn’t get better then this book came out. Dominic and Emilia as a couple surpasses Salvatore and Adrianna. Both are fiery, headstrong and passionate. Their loyalty for those that they love, unsurpassed. Emilia is caught in the crosshairs of the war and lucky for her, Dominic crossed her path. From the moment that Dominic set eyes on her, he knew that she was the forbidden fruit but he couldn’t help himself.

Action, betrayal and lies fill the pages of this book, along with passion, attraction and love. Dominic is no nonsense, truthful and ruthless. Emilia is headstrong, sexy and sassy. What a couple! I definitely recommend this book. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dominic and Emilia are not supposed to be together, members of competing crime families. But plans change and lives rearranged. There is no way there won’t be blow back if they are ever found out.

This is book 2 in this series but can totally be read as a stand-alone. There are references to other family members from book one but not enough that the reader would have unanswered questions. Do you want to read the first book? Of course. No reason at all not to read this authors book. Period.

Unable to put this book down I could have easily finished it in one day. But something about my family needing me and having to go to work always interrupts my reading time.

The Larussios are an Italian Crime family, their enemies are the De Rosas. When one family believes they have been insulted or crossed, there will be a bloodbath in return. This story has no shortage of anger, blood and violence. Luckily though it also has a good share of sexy times and alpha protection.

This book is not recommended for sensitive readers or those under 18 years old. But definitely for those readers looking for excitement and a wild ride.

Underboss's Retaliation (Sicilian Gods Book 2)Underboss’s Retaliation by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dominic Larussio is the underboss, the second in command within the Larussio family and that honour comes with a lot of responsibilities, he is the right hand man of the boss and is as loyal as they come, not to mention ruthless, he takes no prisoners, ever. Emelia De Rosa is a Mafia princess within a ruthless family, but like a lot of the other women in these families, she is kept out of the loop and doesn’t know much about the family business, but it doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to protect herself.

Revenge and retaliation are the hallmarks of the Larussio name and anyone caught in the crossfire has to know which side they are on, but as Dominic hunts down a Mafia princess in her own home, he has a plan in mind to find her and get the information he is after. However, when he finds Emelia in a secret passage, she is more to handle than he expects, she fights for her life and doesn’t give in no matter what situation she finds herself in. In the end, Dominic has to make a decision whether to hand her over to the boss, or keep her safe and away from the bloodshed surrounding her, especially when she sees it first hand.

As soon as their eyes lock, Dominic and Emelia know that something in their world will change and Dominic decides her safety is the most important thing and Emelia, knowing what it will cost cannot keep her mind or hands off of him. Things are never smooth sailing in the world of the Mafia, so when further revenge is sought and new hands are played, a dangerous game of cat and mouse ensues, but unbeknownst to Emelia, what she thought she saw turned out to be a lie, so as soon as she is able, she runs, but what will the consequences of her actions be?

Will Dominic be able to put his plan into action before all hell breaks loose, or will the princess shove a spanner in the works and being everything he has worked towards crashing down around them? This is a dark Mafia romance with plenty of action throughout, it is suspenseful and spicy, with more than a hint of tenacity included and a story which will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Sicilian God’s series. I am completely in love with these books. There is so much going in the stories that you feel like your holding your breath to find out what happens. There are so many twists and turns that always keep you guessing. There is danger and action as we learn about the war between Mafia families and their need for revenge and retribution. As well as all this we have the passion and desire we get from our main couple in the stories in this case it’s Dom and Emelia.

Emelia is the daughter of the De Rosa family. She was born and raised a Mafia princess. Dominic calls her a wildcat and he is not wrong. She isn’t the meek and mild princess people think. She has guts and can handle herself and she won’t let nothing or no one stop her from protecting her family. Even the enemy.

Dominic was never ment to fall in love with her. She’s the enemy after all. Nothing good can come from it but there is no denying the attraction and feelings between them. Dominic is prepared to risk it all, even disobeying his own family to be with Emelia. No matter the cost she is his.

What unravels is a whirlwind of a tail where deceit and secrets start to unravel, enemies are everywhere and you don’t know who you can trust. Will Dominic and Emelia’s forbidden relationship stand any chance of survival? Or will the waring families end it before it begins?

The fight that Emelia has within her is outstanding. The trauma she has endured and still to be strong enough to push herself is inspiring. As a mafia bosses daughter, she is used to death and deceit, but I do not think she was prepared for the havoc she had to endure after watching her family die before her eyes. I cannot express enough the jealousy I have of the fight she has within her. THEN, you get into this romance that comes in like a wrecking ball. To be able to love and trust after everything Emelia has gone through is even more inspiring.

Now about Dominic.. who would not be attracted to the strength that Emelia has? It is really no surprise that he falls in love with her. The strong and rather possessive soldier that Dominic is makes the enemies to lovers fantasy that much more enjoyable. From the characters to the plot, from beginning to end, this book is fantastic. You do not need to read the first book to understand the second, but I plan on going back and devouring the first!

Underboss's Retaliation (Sicilian Gods Book 2)Underboss’s Retaliation by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dominic Larussio is the underboss for a vicious Italian Mob Family. Enemies of the Italian Mob Family will suffer in the most brutal ways at his hands and he has a reputation for showing no mercy to their enemies while settling scores. When a rival Italian Mob Family wages war against the Larussio family Dominic kidnaps their daughter, Emelia, so that he can obtain information from her about her family. What he does not expect is to find himself attracted to her and feel the desire to keep her safe.

Emelia is not the delicate little flower that Dominic expected and instead turns out to be full of surprises of her own. She can stand her own ground and puts up a fight that Dominic is not prepared for. Emelia also finds herself attracted to Dominic and tries to fight her feelings. Against their better judgement Dominic and Emelia find themselves in a relationship that they must keep secret from both of their rival families.

A war between rival mob families turns into an unexpected romance between members of each family as enemies turn into lovers. I found this to be an interesting twist on how love can suddenly come at the most unlikely time. The characters were well written, and the story was crafted beautifully with vivid descriptions that made me feel as though I was there with them as the action and romance unfolded. Dominic had a reputation for being cold, cruel, and ruthless as an underboss but as the story unfolded, we saw that there was a tender side to him. Emelia had a reputation for being a pampered princess but as it turns out she can protect herself when needed and can be as savage and merciless as any of the men in her mob family. This book was full of action, suspense, mystery, romance, and passion. A great read!

Dominic is on high alert from the attack at the casino and when Salvatore issues the order to go and seek revenge he is more than happy to attack De Rosa’s house and grab the only thing that is dear to De Rosa’s heart his daughter as a bargaining chip, but all hell breaks loose and he has his hands full.

Emelia has been taught well for this day, as a mafia princess she knows that she is always on alert and can easily be taken to use against the family, so when she was hiding in the tunnels trying to not to be found but when the dark eyes meet hers, she is in trouble.

Dominic has Emelia as a pawn in this game of power but she is not easy, a hellcat who is trying to escape at every turn but something shifts and Dom starts being drawn to Emelia knowing that the relationship is forbidden and could get them both killed. Can they keep what they have hidden long enough so Dom and Emelia explain.

I loved the first book in this series and this book does not disappoint, the story picks up just after the first book ends and the families are at war with each other. I love the character of Emelia as she is cast at first as the helpless Mafia Princess but as the story goes on you get to see the sheer determination of her character and the strong female role model you want in a book like this. She is equal to Dom and he treats her with the respect as an equal also which is wonderful to read.

The story is full of revelations of both families and how the next generation of the Larussio’s are planning to lead the family. The chemistry between the two jumps off the page and is a great dynamic to read through the adventures of both, with a twist at the end I could not stop reading this book and read it in one sitting.

I can’t wait for Lorenzo’s story as he is a quiet character in the other books, I have a feeling he is deadly under the covers.

I am completely obsessed with the Larussio family. This is a long time obsession and it isn’t getting any better.

Dominic Larussio is dangerous in so many different ways and we see how dangerous he can be to his enemies and to his loved ones.

Emelia is exactly what Dominic needed without either of them realizing it. She is a spitfire and doesn’t go down without a fight.

I am a longtime fan of this author and with each book she gets better and better. I can’t wait to see who falls next and what kind of trouble finds them.

I feel that this is a mafia version of Romeo and Juliet; two lovers from enemy families who shouldn’t be infatuated with each other, but are. The title gives the premise away, and the underboss’s pawn in the grand scheme ends up being exactly what he’s always wanted. Emelia isn’t to be shoveled under a rug though, she’s ferocious and can certainly hold her own in a world ran by overbearing men. I love the Larussio family and will continue to be a reader of this series!

Underboss’s Retaliation was even better than Boss’s Vendetta. Dominic Larussio finds himself in close quarters with Emelia. The De Rosa’s mafia princess. She is 100% a “wildcat” and entirely badass. Their banter was incredibly entertaining and Emelia’s way she never stops fighting or getting under Dominic’s skin is brilliant. While this is book 2 in The Sicilian Gods series, it can be read as a standalone.

This is the 2nd book in the Sicilian Gods series, another spin off series including the Larussio family. I have loved every single thing that this author has written until now and this was no different. I devoured this book and loved every second of it. Each book can technically be read as a standalone but I think you’d get more enjoyment if you read the first book before this one. As both are such brilliant books, it will be no hard ship to read both.
In this book we get the story of Dominic Larussio, underboss to Salvatore from the first book. In retaliation for an incident in book 1, Dominic kidnaps Emelia De Rosa, daughter of their enemy. But what happens when sparks fly between the 2 and the chemistry is off the charts?
I absolutely adored Dominic and Emelia’s story. I was totally gripped from the very beginning and this book just didn’t let me go until the very end. In fact, I’m not sure it has let me go yet. The drama, danger and intrigue really make for an extremely entertaining read.
I would 100% recommend this book and any of this author’s books.

This books pick up on right where book 1 ends off but can be read as a stand alone. You don’t feel you miss too much.

This books follows newly promoted underboss Dominic who kidnaps Emilia, the rivals daughter. Emilia is a incredibly strong and independent woman. A line is crossed that they are not sure they can come back from.

As with book one I enjoyed the story but the repetitiveness is a bit much. I can only read capiche before it gets really old.

Underboss’s Retaliation is the second book in the series that flows seamlessly from the first book, Boss’s Vendetta. I love how the story goes from Salvatore’s story (the first book) to Dominic’s point of view. There are always multiple events going on to keep you on your toes. The main characters are dealing with their own issues and need to figure it out, this will keep you anticipating what’s going to happen next.
