Thank you for reading tho) Language: English Words: 37,666 Chapters: 38/?

I think Enzo and Gia should've gotten a duet. Clown has said that NSFW works are allowed if properly tagged. If you don't like it, don't read it.

First of all, I haven´t read the other three books in the Kings of Italy series, but `Mafia Target` can be read as a standalone and I had no complications in not understanding anything because I didn´t read the prequel books.Years of work, my family, and almost my life—all stolen from me. For four years I rebuilt my empire, plotting in secret, planning to make him suffer as I suffered.

Gia is living in Milan, Italy and interning at a fashion house. She has dreamed of becoming a fashion designer and after her sister Frankie’s marriage to a mafia boss in the previous book, Gia convinced their father to let her leave Canada and come to Italy too. While working, Gia, always the rebellious sister, uses a fake last name. When a model isn’t available and Gia has to step in for a private showing for an investor, she ends up catching the eye of Enzo. Enzo immediately recognizes Gia and knows she’d be the perfect part of his revenge plan against her sister and brother-in-law. He convinces Gia to go out with him and after an explosion and kidnapping, Gia finds herself being held captive on Enzo’s yacht! Also can we talk about the fact that Gia has her kewchie pierced? Can I get more of that please? Also the spice and dirty talk in here was at a higher level than books 1 & 2 and I really don’t know how she managed to top that. I’m so excited to get to the next book I know my heart might just burst then. I have read Mafia before and it is always intense with torture and illegal dealings but I wasn't aware of how hot that gets when you add this into their chemistry. The last tiny thing that I would´ve wished for, which didn´t impact my reading experience that much because I read it on my kindle but might annoy someone who is reading a physical copy, is that the characters use a lot of Italian words, and phrases, and not all of them are translated so that I always had to look them up (which is easy while reading on my kindle, but I can imagine isn´t quite as comfortable with the physical book). So maybe a glossary, in the end, would've been good to just see an overview of all the translations. Mafia Target is the newest book in the Kings of Italy series, which makes it the 4th installment in this mafia series that has been set in Italy. Both main characters we follow in here, as well as side characters, we have already met in the previous books so I think reading the others will definitely better set you up for this book. I had high expectations for this mm, mafia romance and sadly it didn’t live up to all of them.

That was why the chemistry between her and Enzo was so fiery and intense. It was a mix of hate and lust that eventually developed into love. I also planned to ask Nic for a laptop so I could do my own digging. But I also didn’t want to leave Giulio’s side."

Elena Lombardi from The Evolution Of Sin trilogy is here and finally gets her own story. She is a powerful criminal lawyer and now has to help mafia capo Dante Salvatore get out of trouble…well at least some of it…defending him. Elena loathes this devious and dark man. Dante knows this but can’t help to provoke his new spitfire attorney. Can she clear him on this charge without killing him herself? If you haven’t read the previous trilogy no worries, you are able to start with this duet. I wanted to give Elena a clean slate going into this so I too have not read the previous trilogy where she first appeared. As this is a duet it ends on a major cliffhanger. I loved Dante and Elena. Their chemistry and banter are a perfect combination. What a rush of intrigue, action and suspense that will have you counting down the days until book two. I’ve fallen Hard for this Capo!!! A Must Read Mafia Romance! Told in dual POV DANTE. MY GOD THIS MAN. Is there anyone who loves as profoundly as he does? This man is the epitome of dark romantic heroism - a man whose beautiful proclamations of love rival master poets’ in their romanticism, but a man who also delivers blood cold vengeance as a gift. SWOON- I’m so in love with this man and the way he loves Elena- the devotion, how he champions her and lifts her up. He’s the perfect encapsulation of what makes Giana Darling heroes so interesting and compelling- the way she writes broken, twisted, ruthless, hardened, and violent men infused with such emotional intensity and sincerity of heart. Dante is strong, powerful, truly unstoppable as a mafia force, but as a man, Giana gives him emotional complexity, vulnerability- she makes him a man who cares about family, oozes humanity, a man with a deep and profound desire to love deeply and unequivocally.

The contrasts are perfectly crafted- his sweetness with violence, his resolute strength with tenderness, alpha possession with emotional availability.
