Not only do these books flow well together but they are very well written. There are so many nuances and I felt like you really get a good sense of who everyone is and their motivations. The relationship development between the main characters in both books really draw you in to the story and make you want to know what happens.

Whispered Surrender by Via Maria is part one in the sinful duets series and is the combination of two interlinking novels Wayward and undercover about two beautiful twin Russian Princesses.
Wayward is the story of Jay the head of security and a born protector and dominant whom has never been one to become obsessed or needy when it comes to the many women in his life. There is just something about Sasha.
Undercover is the story of Matt and how he met Marenah whilst undercover. Matt is being held whilst undercover by Chicago Mafia’s goons. The head of whom is none other than the twins dad!! Clues that Marendah sends to Sasha via her friend is enough for Jay and his team to break them both free.
There is some pretty heavy sex scenes in both novels as well as a lot going on with the underlying Mafia storyline. I do believe that you need to read all of Via Maria’s previous novels to be able to truly follow along with the characters that are mentioned and referenced. As a lot of the time I think the background of these characters whom have been in previous novels would help to give you a better perspective on the background of what’s going on.
I will for sure be going back and reading to catch myself up.

I accidentally read books 2 and 3 first before realizing I hadn’t read book 1. But I felt like I wasn’t missing out while reading the other books. First things first, what really caught my eye was how aesthetically appealing the covers were, I absolutely love them. Sasha and Jay’s story was oh my goodness. I never really liked Sasha when I saw her in the authors other books, but now reading her story everything makes a lot more sense. There were still times where I wanted to slap the snot out of her, but she started to grow on me. However, in the second book Matt and Marenah I almost didn’t finish because first I felt like Marenah laid the mafia princess schtick on THICK, and it was starting to get on my nerves. But I’m glad I kept reading because the realization that she was just using it as a layer of defense made a whole lot of sense. Matt was such a great guy. Both males were absolutely fantastic and I giggled a little at the way they made me feel just reading about them!

Whispered Surrender is the first book or ‘duet’ as the author calls them in the series ‘Sinful Duets’. This book has two stories within it Wayward and Undercover. I would personally recommend reading these in order. Through this series I have found a new love for billionaire mafia romance. Who doesn’t love sexy, rich and bad boys? I could not put this down and in my opinion I did not want to stop reading.

Via Mari has done an amazing job building a world full of romance with the hints of darkness and seediness and just the slightest bit of suspense and mystery into them. You are on the edge of your seat reading her words. You find your heart pounding and that sheen of sweat forming just over your forehead as you’re hoping against hope that the next few sentences keep our leading ladies and our brute strength safe from whatever that darkness is, that looming just beyond the horizon. I read this book, as well as the 2nd one in a matter of 2 days, and I honesty hated that it took me that long, but, alas, life… Anyway. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this author and these duets if you love an amazing dark mafia romance. You will NOT be disappointed!!

Whispered Surrender is Book One in the Sinful Duets Series. This is a collection of previous books by this author called Wayward and Undercover. It is a dark mafia romance with action, suspense, danger, drama, secrets, sizzling chemistry, and intense passion. The first story is about the characters Sasha and Jay. Sasha is a ballerina with low self esteem and trust issues due to being used and discarded by men. Jay is a bodyguard who is strong, smart, and has watched Sasha from afar. He will do anything to keep his beloved angel, as he calls her, safe from one of the numerous powerful enemies that are after them. Sasha struggles to believe that Jay could care for her but the attraction between them is undeniable. Can the two have a relationship through the danger and chaos? Both stories overlap and intertwine as Jay is looking for his friend Matt. The second story is about Matt and Merenah. Matt is undercover trying to gather intel on the mafia. When he is captured by the Russian mafia it is up to Jay to try to save him. While undercover he falls in love with Sasha’s sister, who is a mafia princess. He immediately is beguiled by her beauty and falls in love with her. Matt and Merenah both carry deep, dark secrets so this makes them wary of letting their guards down with one another. They are attracted to one another, but can they find love through the secrets and learn to trust one another? Great stories with strong, smart, powerful characters.

Okay that cover? BEAUTIFUL. It’s what drew me in at first. But 2 GREAT stories in 1 book? That’s what kept my attention. Plus the story and the characters were phenomenal. I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did! But it was so good. I love that the stories were interconnected as well! It’s a nice touch! I can’t wait to start the next one!

A new author to me and what an author to find.<br />If you like your words learning more towards the dark, this bratva, mafia series is for you, the characters are loveable with a good handful of darkness, and they develop through the books. Between the characters and the world described it is very difficult to put the book down, <br />Two books in one, honestly what more can you ask for.<br />In book 1 Wayward: we follow Jay and Sasha in their story, protector and princess, high chemistry and angst, a fantastic read on its own when Sasha finds herself in trouble can Jay both keep her alive and safe and keep his job. <br />In book2 we continue with Marenah and Matt in Undercover. Marenah is sister to Sasha in Wayward, in book 2 almost everyone has secrets and it weaves a web of deceit, but is deceit for the good of the many enough to complete a mission. <br />I really enjoyed both books

Oh my ! I’m drowning in this cover art ! It’s just so beautiful ! Much like what is in between the pages 😉
Also warn friends and family you’ll be unavailable to do anything as you immerse yourself into your book bubble , take snacks and drinks ( you know to survive ) and you’ll face reality when you get there 🤣
What is more delightful than getting 2 books on 1 !? I know my greedy little heart was soooooo happy 🤣🥰📚these women are fearless and will do anything for their men , to love and protect them 🥰 rest assured they get their HEA and there will be times where it looks impossible but take heart ❤️
Wayward
Sasha is just beautiful and such a graceful dancer but she’s also Jay’s kryptonite… she’s broken and feels used up but Jay is something else and I felt sorry to a degree for Sasha because she thinks she’s not worthy of love and affection and Jay is so patient with her and is determined to prove her otherwise …
Jay has his hands full because he’s also trying to protect Sasha from an outside threat but I like how despite their struggles there’s time for spice and fun 🔥
Sasha and Jay sure kept me on my toes , enjoy them 🥰😉
Undercover
We’ve met Jay and Sasha now it’s time to make new friends , Matt and Marenah ….
Matt lives life on the risky side and when he goes undercover and joins the mafia to gain confidences and intel my blood runs cold and I can feel my heart beating on my throat , then the Russians get their hands on him and I actually feel sick because I know what is going to happen , we’ll my mind runs wild and gory 🙈
Marenah is the granddaughter to the Russian mafia and she wants answers but she’s being hunted by the Russians and those in Chicago and she walks into the lions den when she goes looking for answers about her grandpa , now she’s captive with Matt ….
Matt and Marenah are wanted people and they’re in for the fight of their lives and I was on the edge of my seat for most of this read but again I can breathe at the end and my blood pressure returns to normal with a HEA 😉
Thank you guys for a suspense filled trip ❣️📚

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jay is the head of security for a very rich man, and made it to that position by being extremely good at his job and highly focused on safety and protection. He’s a red blooded male, so of course he spends time with beautiful women, but he’s never met one that could draw his focus – until he met Sasha. Originally, Jay met the beautiful Russian ballerina when she was warming his bosses bed. He feels drawn to her in a way he can’t explain, and finds his attention continually drawn her way, especially once his boss moves on and Sasha is still clamoring for his attention.
Sasha is an illegitimate Russian beauty who just wants to feel loved. However, no matter how many men she gives all of herself to she continues to be left behind while they find the women they want futures with. First, her (terrible) father refuses to claim her, and she has a string of men who didn’t want to keep her, either. She feels her looks and body are only good for men to want her for a short time.
Upon making contact with one another, the chemistry and attraction are palpable. Despite what her instincts tell her, she knows Jay wants her – he even calls her his “Angel” and wants to make her his own. In the midst of discovering their relationship and where it could go, many things comes to the fore. Jay is trying to locate his friend and teammate Matt, who had to go undercover to catch the bad guys and has stopped responding. Sasha calls her father as a last ditch effort and it appears he has sent men after her to solve his little problem of having a child he doesn’t wanna claim.
Will Jay and Sasha be able to protect one another in the middle of all of the danger and chaos? Will they both allow each other to let go and have the most explosive relationship they’ve ever known? Will they save Matt? Or Sasha’s sister? So many plays being made…will they be able to make it through together?
Matt and Marenah – Mentioned in book 1, Matt is on an undercover assignment and meets Marenah, Sasha’s twin sister. Like Jay, he is absolutely overwhelmed with the woman’s beauty and sure that none of her secrets are anything he would find shocking. However, Marenah is a mafia princess and there are many things she keeps close to her heart to protect herself. This story is about Matt’s past and what he has experienced as well as Marenah and what her undercover infiltration is for! Matt and Marenah spend this story circling one another and feeling each other out. Will they be able to get out alive? Will they live to celebrate their unions with Jay and Sasha?

This was definitely a unique way of having a book set up. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that’s purposely set up to have two books inside of it that weren’t originally published on their own. (Unless they were, and I missed the memo on it). That being said, I highly enjoyed the(se) book(s), and I absolutely adored the chemistry between the characters that. I love this author’s works, and every time I see a new release for their books, I always make sure to snatch it up and recommend it to everyone.

This was a great 5 star read. This author has quickly become a must read for me. I really enjoyed these characters and their story pulled me right in. I like dark mafia reads and this one did not disappoint. Jay works security for the mafia and when he meets Sasha things change for him. Sasha is a spitfire and knows how to handle herself. When she gets herself in trouble will Jay be able to keep her safe? What will happen if her secret comes out?
Then we get Matt and Marenah’s story. Matt is working undercover and when he meets Marenah who is Sasha’s twin sister things get interesting. Marenah also has some secrets of her own. Will they both get what they are looking for?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. The author does a great job with her writing on both stories. I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today.

This steamy mafia/protector duo is on fire. It starts with Sasha. She is a ballerina that has bad taste in men. Or rather, is searching for forever in men looking for right now. Through one of her Mr. Right Now’s, she gets on the radar of Jay, personal security guru. When things go south with one of Sasha’s stunts to get the attention of the former Mr. Right Now, Jay is right there caring for Sasha and laying claim to her.
As Jay grows closer to Sasha, Sasha is trying to run away and break free from all of her bad habits when it comes to men. Sasha has ties to the Chicago mafia and Russian Bratva that she is hiding from the world. These ties put her in danger and the need for Jay more than ever. Jay’s ties to the Italian mafia adds a layer of complexity. As Jay uses all the connections needs to to find out who is hunting Sasha and how to get it to stop, even if that means stopping it himself.
When Sasha runs away one last time, Jay comes face to face with Sasha’s twin sister who is now dating his best friend and business partner. It is a strange realization for both Jay and his bestie, Matt. Matt realizes that the same problems that Sasha is facing also haunt his girlfriend. There is more than family relations that is haunting Marenah, Sasha’s twin. Matt just has to figure out what it is.
The second story focuses on Marenah and Matt. The level of difficulty for this couple multiplies 10x by throwing in Marenah’s secret. Marenah is trying to find out the people responsible for an international human trafficking ring and stop the next ‘shipment’ from leaving Chicago. Marenah believes that someone within her organization is helping the traffickers.
Marenah knows that she can’t tell Matt who she actually works for because once she does, she knows they can’t be together. Matt’s ties to criminal families won’t have him dating a cop. When Marenah lets Matt in a little, he helps her stop the traffickers but her family connections cause additional complications.
Woooha. Nonstop action and steam, twists and a few turns, new players and old alliances. Wow. From start to finish, there is so much going on. I enjoyed that even the books have overlapping scenes, they are told from different perspectives and you get a different view, more information. I can’t wait to see where things lead.

This book blew me away! I have read books by this author before, but none quite like this one. I liked that it is a little bit longer than my regular go-to books, but it is actually a combination of two books: Wayward and Undercover. When I say I couldn’t put this down, I mean literally. I skipped a meal and kept right on going because I was too invested in what was going on and what would happen. We read about Jay and Sasha in the first story and then Matt and Marenah in the second. Both are quite suspenseful, full of action and steam! I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us with the next book. Pick this one up now so you can be caught up in time!

As usual, another great story from this author. Whispered Surrender has all the things you need in a Dark Romance. I enjoyed reading the story and all the action and drama in it.

This author Via Mari is fastly becoming one of my favorite go to authors to read. From the book I just finished Rule:Brutal Kings to the awesome Sicilian Gods series and more. They are all super good and well written , making you wanna dive in and not come up for air until you’re done and ready for the next book. So you know I just had to pick up this one. Whispered Surrender is the first book in the Sinful Duets books, it has two books in it The Wayward and Undercover. This duet got me caught hooked line and sinker. They follow Jay and Sasha: and Matt and Marenah. The two books intertwined with the lead females being twin sisters. Both stories were, omggggg, amazing and you’ll be glad that you get the books in one package so you won’t have to wait to read the second one. I can’t wait to read more book duets.

Whispered Surrender is a spicy dark romance about a bodyguard and an illegitimate Russian mafia princess. Jay is a bodyguard for some very powerful people. As he is watching one of his clients, he falls in love with the woman who the client was sleeping with, Sasha. Sasha is a broken ballerina after any attention she can get due to being discarded by so many men and even her father. What she doesn’t know is that Jay has been watching her and believes there is chemistry there. He becomes “obsessed” with making sure his “angel” is safe. For much of the book, Sasha struggles with the fact that someone could actually want her to want her, so you find her pushing Jay away but still falling for him at the same time. In all of this love struggle, Jay is also trying to keep her safe because there is someone out to get them but they can’t quite figure out who, due to so many enemies. Will he be able to keep her safe? Will she be able to allow him to love her? Will the two be able to find a balance between chaos, hurt, and romance?
There were many things I liked about this story and a couple of things I didn’t. This author is a favorite mafia storyteller of mine so I will always read one of her books. One good thing, about the book, was the spice. Ohhh there were so many good spice scenes. I liked the power/submissive roles played by the characters, as well. If you don’t like that type of trope this is not the read for you because there is a clear power/submissive dynamic. The main aspect that bothered me was the whole misunderstanding of the feelings scenario. Now, I know it was probably necessary for the plot but I hate when the characters are saying something but everyone is misreading because they are not expressed straight forward. Also, Sasha was highly insecure (again necessary for the plot), but sometimes I just wanted to tell her to open up her ears and eyes. Jay, on the other hand, I enjoyed his character. He was strong, powerful, controlling but not overly so, and got things done.
The second half is about Matt and Marenah. Matt goes undercover to gather intel, but ends up captured by the Russian mafia. Jay helps get him back, but there is much they have to be careful about (this happens in Jay’s story). During the undercover ops, Jay falls in love with Sasha’s sister, Marenah. This is not a great idea for Matt, being in love with a mafia princess. This couple has many secrets that are unpacked throughout their romance. These secrets have proven deadly for many, but Matt will do anything for this new love, no matter what that means. Again these were great characters. Both are strong in their own right, as well as protective of others. I enjoyed their story a little more than Jay and Sasha’s. Overall, good read!!

Ummmm…mafia, powerful female characters, sexual tension you can cut, AND happily-ever-afters? YES PLEASE!! Not to mention Whispered Surrender is a collection of 2 books, Wayward and Undercover, neatly packaged in the Sinful Duets #1 collection. I could not read these fast enough. There is so much going on in each book that it’s hard to find a place to pause (when the real world calls) and you will literally come rushing back as soon as you can to start reading again. Via Mari just has such a way with words that I loose all track of time when I have one of her books in my hands. I cannot wait for the next installment of the Sinful Duets collection!

Whispered Surrender
By: Via Mari
This is a duet of Wayward and Undercover. These stories feature twin sisters, a private security team, the mafia and even more. These characters are well written and help to move the stories along. It is filled with thrills and suspense that suck you in from the first sentence and left me with a book hangover when I was done reading. It was the kind of story you hate to put down.
Wayward is the first story, it features Sasha and Jay. Sasha has an interesting back story that really sucked me in. She is an unwanted daughter of a Mafia Boss. But she wants to get to know her father and infiltrates the family. This opens her up to be used as a pawn. Jay is a complex character who really added to the drama of the story. This story is so fast paced and I enjoyed every sentence.
Undercover is the second story, which is told on the same time line was Wayward. This means that there is overlap between events. This features Marenah and Matt. Marenah is also a twin but she has very different feelings about her father. She wants to bring him down no matter the cost. I actually enjoyed this story more than the the first, but I also thought that it was more complicated than the first. I truly loved every second of these steamy suspenseful romances. Definitely pick this up and clear your schedule because you won’t want to put them down.

Whispered Surrender is the combination of Wayward & Undercover. Two stories that overlap/intersect involving twin sisters, a private security protection team, different mafia outfits, and so much more. The author pulls you in. The thrill and suspense sucks the reader in. The steamy sexual tension hooks the reader on the line. I didn’t want to put this book down, but it being a holiday weekend I did have to take breaks here and there… I just couldn’t wait to get back… lol
Marenah and Sasha have both ended up in a pickle. What they don’t realize is how their separate incidents are connected at first.
Wayward was Sasha and Jay’s story. Sasha is one of the unwanted daughters of the Chicago Mafia Boss. But she’s the one who sought him out hoping to change that. Even so she infiltrates the family by other means, and now knows secrets that could get her killed. While Jay uses her as a pawn against her father, he made sure it was in a way where he knew she wasn’t leaving his side. He wanted her and wanted her instantly from the moment he saw her. However he says he does and says some stupid things which causes her to push back.
Will they survive the threats on her life?
How does she feel about Jay?
Undercover is Marenah and Matt’s story. The difference is Marenah wants nothing to do with her good for nothing father, but she wants info to bring him down. When she’s captured by her father’s men it’s actually the help Matt’s team needed to get him out. Matt, like Jay, wanted Marenah instantly but being held captive wasn’t an ideal situation. However he promised he’d come find her. And find her he did. What he didn’t expect was the connection to Bratva. Puts him in a predicament with his current job. Actually he and Jay both it’s a conflict of interest. What will they decide?
These books flow quickly but have a lot going on. So be mindful or you’ll miss it. They also have some very strong/dark storylines so be mindful. If you’re looking for a steamy suspenseful romance this book is perfect. Just keep in mind the books happen simultaneously so there’s a lot of overlap in book two. Besides that, What are you waiting for?

It’s crazy how love captivates us. This book proves that if you’re meant to be with someone despite odds we will find a way. Despite Sasha running away Jay gives her time and then finds her. Sasha’s twin Marenah ends up being in a relationship with Matt. Jay’s coworker and friend.

Whispered Surrender is a collection of two great reads about twin sisters Sasha and Marenah. I find it crazy how they both fell for guys who were best friends but at different times without even knowing eachother.
Wayward is a book about Jay and Sasha. As soon as Jay spotted Sasha on a recording he wanted to get to know her. There are so many moving parts in these books and they are full of fast paced action. Jay is running a team of guys protecting very important clients. Sasha is here In The states as a ballet dancer but she has very important family weather they acknowledge her and her twin or not. Jay and Sasha get to know one another and Jay is trying to keep Sasha safe. She falls for him but doesn’t really believe his feelings are real.
undercover is the second book which is about Matt and Marenah. Matt is undercover trying to get some information from some very important high profile guys in the mafia. His cover is blown and he’s in the basement of a bar beating beaten when he wakes up and there’s a beautiful blonde tied up next to him. He doesn’t know much about Marenah but he vows to help her escape and keep her safe. Matt and Jay are part of the same team and when Matt’s team is there causing a distaction, both Matt and Marenah are able to get away but they are taken away separately. Undercover confused me a bit at the end after everything happened and Marenah had to go back with Scottie and clear up some paperwork. Is Scottie one of the good guys or is he dirty like so many others. These were both great reads. Just like all the other books by this author, I loved them!

Wayward by Via Mari is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards Series. This book is full of drama and intrigue. It will have you hooked from the start and does not let go!
Via Mari is a relatively new author to me but is one that I have already become hooked on. And this book is probably the best so far. I loved everything this book had going on. Right from the start I knew I was going to be in for a ride. The book had loads of drama. You could feel the tension and the chemistry between the characters.
In the best way possible I honestly felt like I didn’t know what was going on or what was going to happen. This author keeps you on the edge of your seat and firmly behind the characters. Which is amazing given that I didn’t really care much either way about Sasha in the Torzial Affair.
This was a brilliant book and a great way to start a new series.
Undercover by Via Mari is the second book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. This book is a great follow up to the first in the series. This author really knows how to create lasting characters. I love how all of her series have that slight crossover. It really helps to connect even more with the characters she has created.
The story was fast paced and exciting. It grabs your attention right from the start. With the mystery surround Marenah it was easy to become invested in the story.
This is a great book and a series you should definitely try!

This book was a great read. We got to see both sides of the coin so to speak. In the first part we have the relationship of Jay and Sasha. Jay is head of security for s billionaire and Sasha is a ballet dancer. Even though he looks tough and had the tough guy demeanor, he has a soft spot for Sasha. She as a character has a hard time deciphering it, but we as readers can see it clear as day. She gets herself into a pickle and gets on the wrong side of the Mafia. That brings out Jay’s protective side and there is nothing that he wouldn’t do to protect the woman he loves. In the second part we have Matt and Marenah. Matt is undercover and has been captured by the Chicago Mafia. He and Marenah meet when she is also captured. Her grandfather belonged to the Russian Mafia and she landed in some hot water when she went looking for answers. Due to how they treat women being held, Matt makes it his mission to protect her. But she has secrets that could mean the end for her and whoever she is cohoots with. When they make an escape it seems they are free, but that is just not the case for Marenah. Now she has two targets on her back and has to figure out how to stay alive. This was a good book and I didn’t want to put it down! I like how different authors approach writing about Mafia families. They are all very similar but each one has their own take on what goes on behind the scenes. I can’t wait to read book two of this series.
