This is a well written book with strong characters in Sierra and Alexei. The author takes you into their lives with suspense, secrets, chemistry and love. She moves the story fluidly with her descriptive scenes and delivers an intriguing story that had me glued to the pages and has me looking forward to the next book. Loved and recommend reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Wow! Taken back by this book, the characters were brilliant, so charismatic and captivating. I just can’t get enough of Stella’s writing.
Loved the instant relationship and affection between the ML and FL. They had an electrical current between them that you could feel through the pages. It was spellbinding. The characters of Shade and Kill make an awesome entrance, as they would, and the Romanovs could easily wipe them off the page if given the chance and their own series. What more can I say, Stella has continued to excite and stun me with her books. I just can’t wait to see what she does next.

The next in the Dark Lords series but with a feminine twist. Serena is the only daughter of the Vieri "Family" and protected to the point of smothering by her Brothers. Unknowing of a target on her back she sets off to visit her Mother in Australia, and a few weeks for freedom from her family. At the airport she meets a sexy guy,who persuades her to take his private jet and be his for 24 hours. Alexei is from a powerful Russian family, a player, determined to enjoy Serena and leave her wrecked by the time they reach their destination. What he doesn't expect is the Mafia Princess to have a backbone of steel, the journey he has in mind, was going to be anything like the one he planned. This is another fabulous read from Stella. It takes us on a journey of lust, secrets, betrayal from people they never suspected and a woman who proves to be strong, powerful and ready to take on her enemies with the "help" of Alexei and her family. She is no wilting Princess waiting for her knight in shining armour. Alexei finds himself unable to see her as another notch on his bedpost and will do anything to keep her safe. We also meet Killian and Shade, the said brothers again and learn more of the family history and the fight to keep their place within The Dark Lords. All in all another great read from Stella. Every time she brings us another new series it never disappoints. It's not absolutely necessary but you should go back and read Killian and Shade's stories, they are dark and delicious.
Could not stop reading this book, Stella blows it out of the park with the hot and steamy sex scenes in the air and high rises. In this book we see the third sibling of the Vieri family, Serena who definitely has the mafia family blood in her but had never been in the line of duty or involved much with the family business. She tries to go undercover to see her mother in Australia when she meets a handsome hidden agenda male, Alexei Romanov with his own family secrets and business. Thinking they would be able to do just a one time fling turns to denials and unable to move on without the other. When she meets his mother, it comes to be they have potentially one common enemy and a close connection not known before. What Serena doesn't realize is that a hit was placed out on her but did not know anything about it, till she is kidnapped and almost killed. In the end Serena shows how strong and dedicated she is, and is an asset to the family by making her first kill. She also finds out her brothers and grandfather were keeping the secret of who put the hit out on her as they were testing her to see if she was ready to join the fold. In the end Don Vieri allows her to decide which way she wants to go whether staying with them or going with Alexei but he does make the threat that Alexei does not go back to his playboy ways. The last chapter and epilogue are intriguing and definitely hype the suspense and excitement for the next book.

A riveting addition to the series, captivating characters and storyline you’ll thoroughly enjoy
Serena Vieri has been treated all her life as though she was a Mafia Princess, she has always been protected and has lived a relatively sheltered life which has left her very unrealising of the dangers that are waiting to get their hands on her.
Her family believe that this was the correct decision to have made but when she leaves to travel to Australia, she is totally unaware of any possible threats to her, when her bodyguard the only protection she has is held back in the airport she finds herself on her own which is daunting and also frightening.
When she is taken by an unknown force, she finds her life and herself changing in ways she could never have imagined. He is huge and has a voice that promises her retribution is she attempts to run; she has slid into her soul and she that he cannot possibly go back to how things used to be.
I guarantee that you will be captivated by this the third book in the series. I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read. I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

The Vieri’s are my new favourite family, I loved Shade and Killian story and have been eagerly awaiting the one for their sister Serena. Love that we meet her brothers and their partners again, I still have a soft spot for Killian. In so many Mafia books, women are always subservient to the men and love here that this is not the case. Serena is a strong independent woman, who loves her family but finds the lifestyle claustrophobic. A chance meeting with a stranger really changes up her life, Alexi is of a similar mindset and what starts us as casual fun to pass time on a flight turns into an adventure, family secrets being bared and shocking revelations. The chemistry between Serena and Alexi is scorching, neither having met an equal before, some spicy scenes here I had to read several times. Such a great story as we find our more Vieri family history and neatly set us up for the next instalment. Stella’s writing always grabs my full attention, this is another exciting story, can’t wait for the next book.
🦈🦈ONE INCREDIBLE DELIGHT🦈🦈 Jumping jiggers Jill! Stella offers up one exciting thrill ride with this incredibly enthralling wicked rollercoaster. Mayhem and missteps run rampant, turning out this heart pounding, pulse racing, adrenaline pumping, block busting whirlwind. Stepping up the engaging drama, arresting intrigue, hair-raising danger and spine-tingling suspense, as discoveries are made and futures are pledged. Dragged from the deep, dark dredges of the universe, presenting an action packed, hard hitting, nail biting, unnerving wicked tilt-our-world tempest. Entangling high-octane chemistry, soul-searing passion and combustible desire, reaching deep for every ounce of strength and determination, sending this baby into overdrive with mind-bending impacts. The scenes are graphically mesmerizing with abundant depictions and vividly illustrative, constructing embellished scenarios so lavish and engrossing it feels as though you were transported to ground zero with them. Fantastic job Stella, thanks for sharing this amazing delight with us.
This AMAZING saga continues with Serena Vieri , little sister to Killian and Shade and the Prettiest ONE of ALL…GIRLS are always everyone’s favourite but this one is as strong and fierce as her brothers but her streak of stubbornness surpasses them ALL! With a target on her back, she runs into Alexei Romanov ( Russian Mafia) at the airport on her way to see her mother , sexiest and most alluring man she ever set eyes on. And when he suggests she go on an adventure with him, she sees her life’s wish come true…feeling and being totally free for the first time in her life. However, this freedom comes with a price. ALEXEI is just as obtuse as Serena, if not more when it comes to protection. This book will keep you glued and you’ll devour it and still won’t get enough ! Filled with action, twists and turns, deceit and manipulations you won’t believe and yet you’ll discover a new definition of the word family in this very Dark Mafia Romance saga. Definitely 5 ⭐️ and more !!

OMG! Wow, this book was one you don't want to put down in case you miss this action packed roller-coaster ride with so many twist and turns you felt like you were getting whiplash. This story was about Serena and Alexi, these two met at the airport on a plane, Serena was heading off to visit her mum, Alexi asked Serena if she wanted to have fun. When they were off the plane he noticed someone he knows he had a feeling that someone has put a hit out on Serena. Alexi believes he can protect her but he doesn't want her to leave him. Alexi and his brothers are ruthless Russian men. There was so many emotions throughout this book which gave you a very good Mafia Romance.

Another amazing instalment in the Dark Lords series. I just love this series. What started out as Serena breaking out of her Mafia family ties & taking a risk for a bit of fun & adventure with a stranger changed her life forever. From their first meeting the chemistry was steaming between them. Once Alexi knew her true identity Serena showed him she was no quiet Mafia princess she had a back bone & matched him every step of the way. He saw her as an equal which is what made their relationship so special. The story uncovers lots of family secrets for Serena & the Vieri’s and not in a good way. Lots of suspense throughout the story. At least Serena gets her HEA.

This books follows the mafia princess Serena. She is sick and tired of the over protectiveness of her brothers and Grandfather the Don. She is due to fly to Oz to see her mother, but draws the attention of a business man alexia. A promised 23 hours of pure rebellion on his private jet is too much for Serena to not take up. Some very. Hot and steamy scenes on the plane and she gets more than she could ever imagine. The storyline is well written, as previous books it gets a bit confusing with who is who and what is going on but the events that unfold are gripping. A very good easy and enjoyable read. Looking forward to diving into the next one in the series.
Killian & Shade's sister gets her book! Serena is on her way to Australia to see her mother and get a break from her overbearing brothers and grandpa. She catches Alexei Romanov's eye at the airport and he sets her bodyguard up to get rid of him and approaches Serena with plans to take her on a 24 hour adventure. All she wants is a little freedom from her family so she throws caution to the wind and goes with this stranger. Alexei is a dangerous man but is intrigued by Serena and neither of them know who the others family is. Aboard his luxury jet the two of them fulfill each other in every possible way changing perspectives of their lives. Duel POV, mafia, mystery, spicy sex scenes, family, and kind of insta love
Absolutely loved this book Serena has always lived with constant protection and was sick to death with it all, never feeling truly free, so arranged to visit her mum in Australia, and that’s when thing take a unexpected turn, as she meets a stranger while waiting on her flight as her bodyguard was taken away by security to be searched, when offered a proposal, of another way to Australia, things not only get exciting,then turn ugly when she learns of a threat to her life won’t spoil it but definitely recommend a read.

The Dark Lords book 3. Serena and Alexei. So freaking hot and angsty. Two powerful families brought together by these two on an adventure. But then adventure turns reality. Serena is stronger than she and her family realizes. Alexei sees her for her. She is what Alexei needs for his life, especially at this crossroads. They are more connected than either of them know. Someone is trying to kill her and kick her family out of The Dark Lords. Her aunt is crazy and nobody knows. He protects her with everything in him. His dad died under mysterious circumstances. FANFREAKINGTASTIC read full of action, drama, twisty WTF, hopeful and hella sexy.
This was my favorite book so far in The Dark Lords series. From the very beginning, I was hooked. I was sure Serena was too stupid to live, after ditching her bodyguard at the airport, but wow did Ms. Andrews surprise me with her character development of Serena. For spending her life as a sheltered mafia princess Serena has a backbone and some moves, I definitely wasn't expecting. The underlying suspense and mystery of the series is moved along nicely in this installment and oh my gosh..Alexei is hotter than sin, and such a yummy bad boy. Lots of angst, suspense, and steam to keep me reading all night long.
One again Ms. Andrews has woven a masterpiece that drew me in and had me on the edge of my seat right from the first page. Serena is off to visit her mom thinking she can take some time from being a mafia princess and be just a normal woman. That is proven wrong when she connects with Alexei who proves to be her other half. This action-packed story had me connecting with Alexei and Serena cheering them on to getting their chance to find happiness.

Alexei Romanov likes to play games with women and then send them on their way. When he spots Serena at the airport getting ready to board the same flight as him, he decides she'll be the perfect distraction for the long flight. Alexei may get more than what he bargained for when he finds out who Serena really is and that she comes from a powerful mafia family known as the Vieri's. This is a great read and I highly recommend starting with book one in The Dark Lords series.
Pretty Evil: A Dark Mafia Romance by Stella Andrews is Book 3 of The Dark Lords series. This is the story of Alexei Romanov and Serena Vieri. Serena is a shelter mafia princess who doesn't know that someone is after her. When her and her body guard are at an airport to go see her mother in Australia she happens to meet a man. With her bodyguard being detained at the airport this man offers to get her to Australia along with an adventure. Enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next book in this series.
I really enjoyed the first two Vieri books and was not disappointed with this book. Serena is a strong and smart mafia princess know what is expected of her. Serena wants to be treated normal for 23 hours and thinks she finds it with Alexei. Boy was she wrong because what she found was her another half. Buckle down the hatches because their chemistry is explosive and their lives get really crazy fast. I did not stop reading until the last page. Another great book by Ms Andrews.
From the first meeting between Serena and Alexei the sparks flew! These two set my Kindle on fire and they’re story had me glued to it as well. They compliment each other very well. Both are smart, savvy, protective, strong and sexy. I’m loving this series and can’t wait for the forth book. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a Romanov spinoff series. At least that’s what I’m hoping. Pretty Evil gets two thumbs up from me!!!
I really loved Serena and her new man...she's strong, funny, and beautiful. This is quite different from the other two and I liked that. She's not as cold as her brothers are but she's also not naive about what her family is. Alexi and her are perfect for each other...this is a very hot and spicy mafia dark romance where many secrets are revealed. The writing is superb!
O-M-G!!! This book was amazing!! This is in my opinion the best in the series. Sierra was a true boss and she was a wonderful heroine. And Alexei was her perfect match. This series just kept getting better and better. Now I'm intrigued and can't wait to read the next installment. This was a great book!!
Mafia princess and steamy rich Russian collide. The world that Stella shares with us is nothing short of amazing. Always steamy and leaves you wanting more. The first 2 books of "evil" are so good, and this one doesn't disappoint. Suspense, adventure and soul mates.

What is a girl to do when she finds a man who consumes her every thought and stirs her body like no one else can? Duh. Follow her heart and listen to her inner voice that tells her she is safe. Alexei doesn't know what hit him or what he will find when he gets to know the real Serena.

Stella has outdone herself with Alexei and Serena's story. Loved these two characters and their chemistry is 🔥🔥🔥. As the story unfolds more secrets are uncovered and Alexei promises to protect Serena at all costs. I know why there is a fourth book and can't wait !!! Great story.

Selena was a great character who stands her ground, and stands up for herself. I loved the way she plays Alexei at on their first meeting, and surprised him
This had a number of twists and I managed to guess a few so perhaps I've started to see the way Stella thinks ha ha.
Another great read looking forward to Born Evil and Laura's story.
