Boss’s Vendetta by Via Mari 5* This is an amazing mafia romance. It contains moments of my favorite features in books. It has action, steamy scenes, and enemies to lovers. The main character is Salvatore and he has just become the head of the family business (aka mafia). With this he becomes the head of an incredibly hostile war between feuding family. When Salvatore meets Natasha the tension is thick. But the downside is that Natasha who is working for his family has been placed there to help fulfill a vendetta. This makes a romance with him even more complex. Sal’s focus should be his territory and his family but Natasha definitely threatens to disrupt that focus. I loved this story so much. I love that this definitely delivers in the steam department. I also truly love knowing that this series will focus on all of Salvatore’s family. I cannot wait to see how the family continues to develop and how much steam will be brought.

Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods #1) by Via Mari
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Boss’s Vendetta is the first book in the Sicilian Gods Series. The book was so well written that I finished it in about an hour. I loved the characters and the plot.
Salvatore is the next in line for the boss of his family’s mafia. He meets the urgent care doctor in the resort and finds that he can’t get her off his mind. He meets her through his cousin when his wife was harmed. The quote I chose for Salvatore is: “Anything and anyone remotely connected to the family or our organization is my business. Running the urgent care and being the only physician on call for the entire casino and resort— it’s too much for one person.”
Adrianna is the doctor at the resort where Salvatore and his family reside. Cousins, Uncles, brothers, and whatever else you want to call them. She mouths off the first time she meets him and now she finds that she can’t stop thinking of him. The quote I chose for Adrianna is: “Whatever does the dark prince want after pulling me from a much-needed night of sleep?”
Highly recommended for Mafia Romantic Suspense lovers.

I will admit, throughout this entire book they had me on my toes. I had no idea what was going to be said or what was going to happen, Between the connection of Adrianna and Salvatore to their messy backgrounds to how they came to be together I was on the edge of my seat I had no idea what the next page would bring and the surprises kept coming throughout the entire story. Adrianna who we meet and believe to be a bit of a stick in the mud and Salvatore the man we believe to be the devil incarnate. Two people who in almost every way shouldn’t work together but turns out to be one of my new favorite love stories!! The openness and honesty that they have with each other is absolutely beautiful and I loved every page of it.

This is the perfect startup book for a new series. It is explosive, filled with action, drama, violence, and romance. With characters that are relatable, ones you love to love and ones you love to hate.
Adrianna is the female in the stories we always aspire to be. She is a doctor, who was orphaned, and is looking for answers into her fathers death. Which may come from the elusive Larussio’s. So when she gets a job working in one of their casinos this may be the perfect chance to find answers to the questions plaguing her about whether the Larussio’s were responsible.
Salvatore, who is not even heir to the mafia throne, is thrust into the position solely by availability. Many think he should not be there nor that he has earned such a prestigious position of power. The last thing he needs is a sexy doctor turning his world inside out and giving his enemies a weakness to exploit.
Will Adriana finally uncover the truth about her father’s death and will it be the answer she hopes? Can Salvatore protect his family and Adriana from threats within and outside the family so he can find his happy ever after? This is a dark mafia romance, with suspense, lies, and romance which makes for an amazing story in my book. I am excited to read the next book in this series just to see what happens next!

Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)
I know these are characters we already knew of from earlier series but oh my, there is something incredibly hot and a sexy dangerous man who’s entire life was surrounded by or working in the Mafia, at least in this world.
I think I started crushing on Salvatore from the beginning and it grew from there.
From the beginning Adrianna didn’t hold back. She stood up to him every time she got a chance and their confrontations were popcorn worthy.
Salvatore made me think of the saying about onions and peeling back the layers. What you see at the beginning with him isn’t what you find when you get to his heart.
I am so happy that this new series is here and I can’t wait to see what happens with all of the family and get introduced to even more amazing and strong characters both male and female.
This author is one of those that I grab as soon as I see there is a new book without reading the synopsis.

Kate is in Aruba for a project that the company she works for is spearheading. She showed up a few days before the conference regarding the project is set to begin so she can enjoy some rest and relaxation. Her first night takes an interesting turn when she saves the life of a man that collapses in front of her…and then meets a handsome stranger that she is almost instantly attracted to. However, she is surprised when she walks in on the first day of the conference to see the handsome stranger introducing himself as the owner of the company who has hired the one she works for.
Chase purposely didn’t introduce himself because people are usually after him due to his bank account. So, when Kate doesn’t know who he is, he is relieved to find her feelings are genuine. He does, however, have quite the challenge ahead of him to break down her walls and her reluctance to dating someone who she works for. But, when Kate’s safety is at risk, Chase will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
Once they return to the US, Kate’s safety is still in danger and she finds herself in an extremely dangerous situation. When she is recovering, she is hit with even more shocking news when her mother reveals the truth about her father. How will this come into play in future books?
I found these characters to be interesting. The book spends quite a bit of time introducing different types of play in the bedroom. Chase and Kate’s relationship is full of chemistry…but also danger being who they each are (separately and together). I am interested in seeing how the last revelation plays out as they move forward. Overall, a good book.

Boss’s Vendetta (Sicilian Gods Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Kaylee Johnston
3.5 Stars
Book 1 in the Sicilian Gods Series, Boss’s Vendetta, is about Salvatore and Adrianna. The book focuses on how the two of them come together, what the vendetta is, and how everything gets solved. The mafia romance genre includes many explicit and dark scenes – this story is no different.
The connection between Salvatore and Adrianna is great at the beginning. I am always a fan of enemies-to-lovers stories. I found the plot points and the development of this story to be unique and enticing. I loved how it progressed and the settings things took place. The main conflict was tense and I couldn’t keep myself from reading as quickly as I could. I loved seeing the relationship between Salvatore and his cousin, Dominic. I thought the way the characters were portrayed was done really well – especially the Great-Uncle. I loved when Sal and Adrianna finally come together and how seamlessly Adrianna fits into the family.
The things that kept this book from being four or five stars for me are the continuous use of the word “capiche.” It felt overused a lot, to the point I felt it was being included unnecessarily. The switch from a scared bystander who is helping where she can to a skilled and cold agent capable of disappearing and infiltrating certain locations and then back was a bit jarring. I also need to point out that there was a lot of repetition for why Sal and Adrianna couldn’t be together. There’s also a lot of repetition by both Sal and Adrianna about how dangerous Sal was and who he actually was, but there wasn’t much that supported that. Adrianna’s hate also kind of just fades away.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was definitely spicy and kept me intrigued the whole time. I definitely recommend reading this if you’re looking for a hot, action-packed story!

“I sure as hell didn’t ask for this job, but I will do it as though every life in my family depends on it…because it does.”
Just when I thought the enemy was taken care of another one would jump out. But these characters, Salvatore Larussio and Adrianna Palento take no prisoners and can handle whatever is thrown their way…capiche? As with any good story there are secrets being kept that when revealed will either make the family stronger or destroy the love that is developing between these two.
This is a new series and while these two main characters have a good ending there are too many questions about the rest of the family for it to be the only book. The first of many stories to come, I hope! I enjoyed this story; the wording and language is how I would think a Mafia family would speak. The situations are realistic and hard to believe at the same time…. sounds a little life regular life too. This story also made me laugh on occasion…especially when Salvatore and Adrianna would butt heads.
“A smile crosses my face for the first time all day as I envision the blonde beauty’s fiery blue eyes lighting up with anger in reaction to that order. Maybe it’s not so bad being in charge…”

I’m becoming a huge fan of Via Mari’s work. This story features vivid imagery, detailed characterisation, and shocking plot twists. The romance is intense, the chemistry is off the scale. This book will keep you gripped, with its themes of tension, betrayal, and deception throughout. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

I always devour any book that this author creates and writes. I especially loved this one. Great start to a new series, with characters that really make the story come to life, and make you unable to put the book down!
Loved this story. I felt for Katrina and I really loved how relatable the author had made her be. Chase was different but in a seductive and powerful way. Their time together really made my dear kindle sweat in anticipation. I loved how perfectly they fit together, and then again they did not. The past has a way of haunting us, and that is what made this book what it is. I loved how the author wrote them so deeply, and how the past really influenced them in the present. The book was a thrilling, deep, and seductive read for me. I could not out this one down Love the author’s writing style! I especially loved this book!
I can not say enough good things about this author and the book, and the series it is a part of. For sure a must read, and a very high must read on my list. The author, book, and series are not ones to pass up!

I’ve been a hardcore mafia romance reader for a while now, and this book is for sure on the list of mafia romances that I love. It’s more action than romance, which honestly I liked a lot. Most of the time it’s a pretty even mix, but this one is a little more lowkey as far as the spicier scenes. The intro for this book hit me like a ton of bricks. It for sure captured my attention and the author kept that attention throughout the whole book. I’m for sure going to be picking up the next book, and I can’t wait to see where the rest of the series goes!

This book was a great read. I absolutely love a good mafia romance. This book did not disappoint. This story is full of danger, suspense, romance, great characters, and had me completely enthralled. I had a hard time putting this book down because I became completely enthralled in the story. I have read other books by this author and I have enjoyed everything I have read. This is a great start to this series and I can’t wait to read what’s next. I highly recommend this book.

Boss’s Vendetta (Sicilian Gods Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Jessica Stone
This is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, mafia romance that I promise will make your toes curl with all the sexual tension.
Salvatore Larussio’s life just got a whole lot more interesting, due to some unfortunate circumstances Salvatore’s (or sal as his family call him) cousin steps down and next in line to become head of the family “business” putting sal in line for the thrown. But with great power comes great responsibility and a turf war the likes of which we’ve never seen.
Natasha, is a bold, feisty, smart beautiful woman and doctor who’s recently taken a position as running a clinic in the Larussio’s casino, but what no one knows is the job isn’t what brought Natasha, it was a long held vendetta against the Larussio’s.
Will Natasha get her revenge before she falls pray to the dark eyes and smoldering look of her new boss. Will Sal come out on top of these mafia wars and secure his territory and the safety of his family, or will the both fall together.
All and all a splendid read, I love the premise of the story, it was a mafia romance but with a twist, very refreshing and fun to read something outside of the norm. I’m a big enemies to love fan so this book hit the sweet spot, the relationship between the two main characters is an emotional, sexually charged rollercoaster in my opinion. Natasha is a take no crap, knows her worth, get things done type of girl which is one of the things that cause her to clash heads with Sal so much. Sal is your typical baddie, he knows he’s smoking hot, rich, powerful, all the things a mafia romance mc should be, so throwing a hard headed woman, who questions his every command and tests his every limit is *chef’s kiss* EVERYTHING.
I’m pretty excited to read not just more from this series but the author, the story was immaculate, the world and character building was well thought out and the spice was juuust right.
Who’s ready to see which Larusso man is next to meet his match?? This girl!

Engaging and intense This is the first book in the Sicilian Gods series and it is a very strong start. The book has depth in characterisation, an intriguing plot and intensity that took my breath away. Salvatore is a dark and fierce alpha male and Adrianna is far from a wilted flower. These two create fireworks and have a chemistry that just melts the pages. There is so much between the pages from mafia politics, revenge, gun fights to drama and an unavoidable romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to secure book 2.

Adrianna is a doctor working at a hotel in Vegas. The hotel happens to be owned by the Sicilian Mafia. While there, she is trying to find out who murdered her father. Salvatore is handed the position of don in the same mafia. He runs the hotel and uses Adrianna to fix his men up after an altercation. Once he has met her, he cannot get her out of his mind but her secrets may ruin any desire he has for her. Opinion Mari knows how to spin a tale and leave the reader breathless for more. This book, the first in the series, had me reading when I should have been otherwise occupied. I just could not put this book down. If the rest of this series is anything like the beginning, readers will be running to get the newest books.

Salvatore is a fiercely loyal man that puts the mafia first…it’s his job as the don. However, his priorities are questioned when he encounters a beautiful doctor. Adrianna has a mind of her own and does not take kindly to men barking orders at her. However, her job requires her to do just that…and ask no questions. Imagine her surprise when the man she feels an intense spark with is none other than Salvatore. While that spark begins with a feeling akin to hatred, it quickly morphs into something much more passionate. However, Salvatore knows Adrianna is keeping a secret and, when it comes out, it can turn both of their worlds upside down. Will they be torn apart? Or, is their love for each other enough to help them through?
I enjoyed Adrianna’s character and these two were entertaining to read. There was so much going on in the story that I was sucked in! And, as secrets were being revealed, I was excited to see how it was going to affect them. And one of the secrets…WOW…
A great book that I devoured in a sitting and am looking forward to reading what happens next!

This was a great dark romance mafia book. I have never read a book by this author and I thought Via Mari did an excellent job writing this! To start off the book, I thought it was a bit slow for me. Granted there was some mafia action but just not enough to keep me reading consistently. But I stuck through it and I am so glad I did. Who doesn’t love a bit of mystery in the middle of a mafia romance? Read and you will unravel the mystery of Adrianna. Not only does she fight her instincts, but she was instantly drawn to Salvatore. Again, who doesn’t love reading about the head of the mafia down on his knees falling for a woman he never thought he could love. Throughout the book I fell more and more in love and I couldn’t put it down. I cannot wait for the next installment!

This is the first book in a brand-new series by an author I’ve come to love over the last few years. This mafia series is a spin off from previous series’ and brings back many favourite characters that I loved catching up with again. Set around the Larussio family, in this book we get the story of Salvatore who is running the family due to Great Uncle stepping back from duties as he gets on in age. Salvatore is dark, brooding, dangerous and hot as sin. He’s far to busy running the family, finding out who is leaking secrets. No way does he have the time, or inclination, for a relationship. Sexy Doctor Adrianna hates the Larussio family with a passion. So why is she working for them? What is she hiding? And why, oh why, does she find the dark brooding Salvatore so damn irresistible? I loved Salvatore and Adrianna’s story. As well as being hot as hell, there is so much drama, danger, intrigue and backstabbing that makes this book so unputdownable, if that’s a real word. I totally lost myself in this book and think it just might be my favourite by this author so far. I really can’t wait to read more in this series.

I love a good mafia romance and the author did not disappoint with this read. This new series by the author gives us the romance of Adrianna and Salvatore. Once these two meet the are drawn to each other and can’t seem to stay apart no matter how hard they try. You will certainly enjoy this story of power, love, loyalty and revenge

So this is my first book by this author, and man it did not disappoint. I was captured immediately within its pages. Salvatore Larussio never planned to be the Boss but that is where he has found himself. He must lead the family after an attack at a wedding. Adrianna is the doctor they have employed to patch them up. Salvatore can’t seem to fight the growing attraction to her. She has her own secrets though. Will her secrets destroy them or save them?

This started out slower as I was trying to figure out all the characters and their place within the story. Then when the action revved up the storyline became more interesting and I sped through this. I liked the characters. Adrianna and Salvatore are quite the couple. Their individual characters are strong. Her being a doctor and not folding at the sight of Sal and his guys. He is temporarily Don and the way he puts others and family first is admirable. Together they are a force to be reckoned with. The secondary characters are very memorable as well.
Overall it is full of secrets and surprises. It is a good read that kept me on my toes as I wasn’t sure what would happen next. This is a first time author for me. I enjoyed the writing style and the world this author built. I look forward to more.

I was so excited to see that Via has another series just waiting for me to devour. I have high expectations and Via ticks each and every box.
Boss’s Vendetta is another fantastic read from this very talented author and a great start to another of her fabulous series. With so many families already having their stories told this one is more of the Larussio Mafia family.
The story is delightfully gritty and dark with hot and sexy alpha men. This enemy to lovers is sizzling to the point of needing a shower. The magic has been woven in this story where there is loyalty and passion, drama and secrets, fear and pain, love and lies. The suspense and intrigue are palpable. There is conflict with some of the most powerful and dangerous men in the world.
He has lost all decency and is looking for revenge but there is one thing that could bring him to his knees. Will it be his salvation or ruin?

I used to dislike these types of Mafia books but one author got me hooked. Now I’m always looking for more. This book was about Adrianna and Sal. Sal was next to lead the family and Adrianna was the good doctor at the resort there to take care of the guests and of course the family. The family never goes to the hospital when they are shot or stabbed. Adrianna hates everything about Sal. From his dark penetrating eyes to his bossy demeanor. So why can she not get him off her mind and he goes out of his way to look for her. When a wedding is ambushed, the family is lucky Adrianna is there to be able to go underground to care for the injured. The question remains….how was the wedding ambushed at their resort with all that security….there’s a rat! Sal makes it his number one priority to find the rat all while trying to get Adrianna into his bed. Adrianna has secrets of her own on why she showed up to work for this family. She seems like a sweet innocent doctor but, when something or someone threatens what is hers, she will do what she needs to in order to neutralize the threat! I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end and cannot wait for more!

This book is the first in this series and it was a page turner. Adrianna has been plotting revenge against the Larussio family since she was young as she was under the impression they killed her father. When she is hired as an in house doctor at their new casino in Las Vegas she hopes to find the answers she seeks. Will the answer be what she wants to hear or will she be left with more questions? Salvatore is next in line to be the leader of the Mafia but there are those out there that don’t feel like he deserves it. There is a rat within his ranks and he intends to find out who it is. Things only tend to get complicated when he and Adrianna start dancing around each other trying not to catch feelings. The last thing Salvatore needs is to give his enemies a reason to think he has a weakness. Keeping Adrianna at an arms length is a lot easier said than done though. Will he be at to keep her and his family safe or is she the true enemy he needs to look out for? <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This author knows how to begin a series. You make the characters strong and relatable. You throw in some mafia rules and regulations, some guns, some lies and deception, a little violence, a whole lot of steam, and then you kill off all your enemies. Well, maybe not all….I mean, can you ever truly kill off ALL of your enemies in a mafia series??
Adrianna is a complicated woman. A doctor, a woman out for revenge, a daughter, an orphan, a woman seeking answers. All her life she was told that her father was killed by the Larussio family before her birth. Her mother never revealed her father’s name. After years of studying to become a doctor and plotting to get the revenge she seeks, Adrianna takes a job as an in-house doctor for the Larussio’s new casino in Las Vegas. She hopes this will let her get close enough to get the answers she is so desperate for but will it lead to more?
Salvatore is thrust into the position of next in line due to his older brothers taking other roles. He is the right man for the job but some feel that he doesn’t deserve and hasn’t earned it. And those are just his cousins. As Salvatore starts to fight the enemies within, he finds that they are linked to the enemies outside the family. What he didn’t need at this moment was a distraction, a weakness for his enemies to exploit but that is exactly what Adrianna, the new doctor, has become to him. How does he manage to keep the woman that he has been waiting his entire life for and his family safe when she might be the one they need protecting from?
There was so much in this book. So much good stuff, stuff that will keep you coming back for the next one in the series, so much that will make you fall for the dark prince. So glad that I found this series!! It is fantastic!!!!

This was a really good book! This was an easy world to dive into, and the characters came to life on the page. It was quick to read and pretty easy to follow. Some of the interactions and conversations left me confused on who exactly was speaking (and that in itself was pretty rare) but other than that this book was fantastic. It was a very steamy read! So be prepared for some spice and language. And it’s a mafia book, so of course there is blood and some violence involved. I can’t wait to read the next installment!

This book was an intriguing and fun read. Lots of action and fighting in the book. Suppose you like a morally gray man that knows what he likes. Then this is the right book for you.
This book follows Salvatore and Adrianna. Salvatore the dark and deadly man given a position due to his blood and helping a loved one. Lives by the code of family first and being willing to die for them. Adrianna is an intelligent accomplished doctor looking for a man that harmed a loved one.
What happens when the man of your dreams turns out to be connected to a horrible memory? Does love and lust beat all else? Would you be able to resist temptation when you are stuck in close corners?
Read this book to learn about their story and how everything unfolds. Sometimes everything is not all black and white. There always have been and always be gray areas in life. This book explores those areas. Warning, I suggest you have a cool glass of water close by to cool you off after some of these scenes.

I absolutely LOVE it when this author comes out with a new book but this time it’s a whole new series and I couldn’t be more excited! I loved this book so much – it was a fantastic read from beginning to end. I loved mafia romance reads especially with a bit of darkness thrown in and this is exactly what I got from this book. Salvatore and Adrianna were fantastic to read about. I’ll admit whilst I found Salvatore to be the hot and powerful don it was Adrianna who I loved – she was so strong willed and it was refreshing to read the female lead who is as strong as she was. I loved seeing their relationship develop, they definitely had the spark there between them from the very beginning! I loved this story and I’m so excited for more to come from this series!

Adrianna has a pretty cushy job. She lives in an amazing resort with her own private penthouse suite, an on-site chef, and other glorious perks. The only downside, she works as a private doctor for a mafia family. In her eyes, her boss is the absolute worst. But she is there on a mission and has a very big secret she is hiding from him. Salvatore is getting read to become the Don of the family. He has what it takes and gets the job done. Although he thinks the new doctor does he work well, he cannot stand the attitude from her. The attraction is strong though. Will he let the sassy doctor cater to his dark heart or will she be the ruin of him? This book was a great dark, enemies to lover novel.
