Onthuld

Dark Sovereign #6

by Bella J., Helma Lubbers (translator)

Iedereen behandelt me nu anders.
Alsof ik een kapotte pop ben waarvan de scheuren met lijm zijn dichtgeplakt.
Het geeft niets. Hun medelijden kan ik wel aan.
Maar niet die van hem.
Niet Nicoli’s medelijden.

Ik haat hoe hij naar me kijkt, alsof ik een of ander fragiel poppetje ben dat hij niet durft aan te raken, te bang om me te breken.
Ik wil dat hij me weer liefheeft zoals hij deed voordat deze hele nachtmerrie begon.
Hij moet snappen dat ik sterker ben dan hij denkt.

Ik ben geen slachtoffer en ik ben meer dan enkel een overlever. Ik ben een vechter.
Dus terwijl Nicoli en zijn broers jacht maken op de man die me wilde breken, stippel ik mijn eigen pad naar wraak uit.
Dit is niet de oorlog van Het Genootschap. Dit is míjn gevecht.

Ik heb dat alles niet gewoon overleefd om te verliezen. Ik ben uit die hel gekropen als een nog sterkere vrouw. Een koningin. En Nicoli moet dat inzien.
Hij moet stoppen met zichzelf de schuld te geven. Dat doe ik ook niet.
Want hÍj was degene die me uiteindelijk heeft gered.
Of moet het ergste voor ons nog komen?

Tropes: dark Mafia romance, romantic suspense, forbidden romance

Everyone treats Mira differently now. Like she's this broken doll with glue sealing the cracks. It's okay. She can handle their pitying stares. But not his. Not Nicoli's. She hates the way he looks at her like she's this fragile thing he's too afraid to touch. She wants him to love her the way he did before this nightmare started. He needs to realize that she's stronger than he thinks. She's not a victim, and she's more than a survivor. She's a fighter. And while Nicoli and his brothers hunt the man responsible, she's plotting her own revenge. This isn't a Dark Sovereign war. It's Mira's. She didn't come out on the other side of this as a weaker woman. She came out a stronger queen. And Nicoli needs to see that. He has to stop blaming himself. She doesn't. After all, he did save her in the end...didn't he? Or is the worse still to come?

One thing I've come to know, I won't be disappointed when I open a Bella J. mafia romance. Unveiled was the last book in Nikolai and Mira's romance. It was utterly thrilling, addictive, and provocative. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat while I turned pages late into the night. It was a masterpiece with unpredictable twists and turns. I recommend this trilogy as well as the first one. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

Unveiled Book 6 in the Dark Sovereign Series.

First things first The smut queen that is Bella J has done it again. When you thought this woman couldn’t raise the temperature anymore higher what does she go and do she turns it up higher.
The spice alone in this book is 5 ⭐️ she gets it right every single time without a doubt I am left gasping.

This book is a scorcher. Quotes ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🔥 🤭

Unveiled is Nicoli and Mira third book. The conclusion to their dark, heartbreaking and intense story.
After that emotional read of book 2 I honestly didn’t know where this story would go and how it would end. Even though this story plays heavy on your heart their conclusion was perfect.
How their story end blow my mind I won’t go into detail of why.
All I will say is I’m so happy Bella took this story the way she did. You’re be in for a surprise.

This trilogy has been the most intense and the darkest I’ve read by Bella. We need more dark romance please Bella
The love has been epic, explosive, and so the world that she had created is amazing. The characters are truly one of the best I’ve read. These brothers will do anything for each other, the family is my favourite. I highly recommend everyone to this series.

It’s epic.

Now I’m ready for Caelian’s book… The man who likes to hunt. God he made me laugh hard in this book. I’m obsessed already.

FREAKING EPIC!!!
What a PERFECT conclusion to Nicoli and Mira’s EXHILARATING and MIND BLOWING story.
Be ready to be CONSUMED!!! A STELLAR storyline to escape into and lose yourself.

My expectations for this book were met and MORE. From beginning to end this book will have you on your toes and envelop you in a deeply sexual haze.

Nicoli and Mira are simply the type of characters that you CRAVE for. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts kinky and scorching. Their love story is one of respect, trust, pure passion and gripping intrigue.

So if your looking for a book that takes you into a world of power, suspense and deep love you will find all of this in spades. Nicoli is the ever so enticing dominate that we all want and long for. As for Mira, her strength is inspiring. Together these two make for one heck of a FASCINATING and BREATHTAKING story.

Although I am sorry to see Nicoli and Mira’s story end I look forward to reading Caelian’s story in the next instalment of the Dark Sovereign series.
A note too Bella: As PHENOMENAL as your books are your writing talents surpasses them all and that’s why we are so addicted to this series and all your books. Congratulations on another STUNNING accomplishment.

It never ceases to amaze me how Bella J can get my adrenaline pumping like no other! Unveiled had that all consuming passion, explosive and powerful! What a workout my heart got, suspenseful and full of angst! After such a crescendo of heartbeats, it was soothed by the final moments of a soulful love! Incredible read!

Mirabella is recovering from her traumatic ordeal, when she was kidnapped, abused and put through hell by Nunzio Ferrera.
The problem is that everyone is treating her like glass. As if she will break at anytime.
Her memories have returned from a different trauma during which she’d banged her head, causing her to block out what had happened. She hasn’t let Nicoli and her brother know just yet, for fear that the kid gloves will tighten. But Nicoli overhears her confiding in Leandra.
It makes him even warier, but Mira just wants him to treat her like he would have done before. That’s what will help her heal. Help her beat Nunzio.
Nicoli’s biggest issue is that he is too busy with his vendetta towards Nunzio. Every man connected with him is tortured to answer his question. Where. Is. He? But none of them know. Nunzio always kept his cards close to his chest, for situations just like this one.
Nicoli’s hands are covered in so much blood, he’s swimming in it. When Alexius tries to reason with him, that he’s putting the Dark Sovereign at risk, Nicoli asks him what he would do in his shoes. His twin has to admit, exactly the same.
When he listens to Mira, he realises that to help her feel much stronger and normal, he has to man up. The one thing she wants Nicoli to promise her though is that she gets to deliver the fatal blow if and when the time comes. Her strength makes her husband so proud of his beautiful wife.
When she has a pregnancy scare and the dates mean that she doesn’t know who the father is, could this help her family to finally settle the score?
A fantastic conclusion to a nail biting trilogy. Mira has been through different stages of hell ever since she was four years old, starting with the murder of her parents. That would be enough for anyone to cope with, but the fact that her life keeps interconnecting her to Nunzio Ferrera, made for heart-wrenching reading in book two, His Queen, and a satisfying conclusion in this read.
In their dark world, every woman needs a Nicoli in their corner. Fantastic.

This book is everything you expected and more for the conclusion of Nicoli and Mira's story. They have been through darkness that stays with them but also gives them the chance to get their revenge. The love and devotion for these characters is off the charts hot! This like the other 2 books in their story is epic, phenomenal, dark, and deadly!!

This story was the perfect conclusion for this amazing couple. I don't think their story could end any other way. No spoilers but I can guarantee you will love it. Happy Reading!!!

Dopo aver letto "La sua Regina", non ho resistito e ho iniziato subito a leggere "Scoperto", divorandolo in un pomeriggio. La storia riprende da dove si era conclusa nel precedente volume, mostrandoci come Mira, dopo l'ennesimo trauma subito per mano di Nunzio, stia cercando di riprendersi.
L'inferno che ha attraversato, segna una nuova cicatrice nell'anima e sulla pelle.
Come può dimenticare l'orrore subito? In famiglia, tutti la trattano come un oggetto delicato di cristallo, pronto a frantumarsi e anche il suo rapporto con Nicoli è diverso, sembra quasi avesse paura di farle altro male. Questo atteggiamento fa accrescere il malessere di Mira, soprattutto dopo che i suoi ricordi sul suo passato sono tornati a galla, Nicoli e suo fratello Maximo questo non lo sanno ancora. Ma come sappiamo in casa Del Rossa i segreti hanno vita breve. Nicoli ha sete di vendetta, nessuno sa dove si trova Nunzio. Ogni suo uomo catturato e torturato non parla. Le mani di Nicoli sono ricoperte di così tanto sangue che quasi non ragiona; solo Alexius riesce a placare la sua ira, anche se porta spesso i fratelli a uno scontro verbale. Mira ha un'idea che può portarli a stanare Nunzio; all'inizio Nicoli è contrario ma poi si lascia convincere, coinvolgendo tutta la famiglia. Un nuovo massacro di sangue si prospetta all'orizzonte. Nunzio è pronto a fare la sua mossa, ma non sa che i Del Rossa hanno un asso nella manica. Siamo arrivati alla resa dei conti, chi vincerà? La lettura è stata molto coinvolgente, fin dalle prime pagine. Il ritmo narrativo è freddo e crudele nel vero stile di Bella J.. La parte spicy è ad alto tasso erotico, del resto l'autrice non si smentisce mai, è proprio nel suo stile. Ogni volta che leggo quest'autrice, mi innamoro della sua penna. La sua scrittura è incredibile e sa come affascinare e attrarre i lettori. Con questo sesto volume, purtroppo, si conclude la storia di Nicoli e di Mira e salutare lui è davvero difficile, ma mi rincuora che sicuramente lo ritroverò nella storia di Caelian: il terzo fratello Del Rossa.

"Le ha fatto del male. L’ha torturata. L’ha violata come solo un mostro può fare. Ci ha rubato la pace e ha spezzato il mio Colibrì. Ma non sapeva che, come una fenice, lei sarebbe risorta dalle ceneri e ne sarebbe uscita più forte, più bella… e più letale."

Recensione a cura di Silvia Turi.

[Maryger Chacon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Unveiled by Bella J., is the sixth book in the Dark Sovereign Series and the third and final book in the story of Nicoli and Mirabella. Mira has returned from hell and battles an internal war with the memories of her past, when the memories of what happened in the mausoleum when she was a girl returned, and the last days while she was a victim of Nunzio Ferrero's hatred. For his part, Nicoli is driven by a thirst for revenge and is in the streets destroying everything in his path in search of any clue to Nunzio's whereabouts. For all the Del Rossas, recovering Mira gives them some peace of mind, but they will only achieve peace when they eliminate Nunzio forever. But everything seems impossible, when Nunzio is always a few steps ahead of them and has managed to stay hidden, until Mira has in her hands what will make Nunzio come out of hiding and thus obtain the revenge that will free her from the nightmares and the horror that she experienced, and recovering the peace that she, her marriage and her entire family lost.
This story is explosive, the ending I needed to close the story of these characters and where Mira showed once again that she is a mafia queen and a very bad-ass woman, Nicoli does everything for her queen and proves it again and again, and the entire family shows that they will not allow any of their own to be harmed without consequences and end up stronger than ever. The interactions between the brothers, even in the most serious, dark and bloody moments, are somehow hilarious, Caelian is quite a character and I can't wait for his story. So that you can enjoy all these stories, go and immerse yourself in the Dark Sovereign world from Alexius so that you can enjoy this stories better, you should not read this one without first having read Nicoli and His Queen, keep in mind the warnings of the factors that may be triggering for some readers. If you enjoy dark and mafia romance, this series is definitely for you. Highly recommended!
*Thanks to Bella J. and Literally Yours PR for my ARC. I voluntarily leave my honest review*

Unveiled de Bella J., es el sexto libro de la Serie Dark Sovereign y el tercero y último de la historia de Nicoli y Mirabella. Mira ha regresado del infierno y batalla una guerra interna con los recuerdos de su pasado, cuando volvieron los recuerdos de lo que pasó en el mausoleo cuando era una niña, y los últimos días mientras fue víctima del odio de Nunzio Ferrero. Por su lado Nicoli esta movido por la sed de venganza y esta en las calles destrozando todo a su paso en busca de alguna pista del paradero de Nunzio. Para todos los Del Rossa recuperar a Mira les da algo de tranquilidad, pero la paz solo la conseguirán cuando eliminen para siempre a Nunzio. Pero todo parece imposible, cuando Nunzio va siempre unos pasos delante de ellos y ha logrado mantenerse escondido, esto hasta que Mira tenga en sus manos lo que hará que Nunzio salga de su escondite y así conseguir la venganza que le liberará de las pesadillas y del horror que vivió recuperando la paz que perdió tanto ella, como su matrimonio y toda su familia.
Esta historia es explosiva, el final que necesitaba para cerrar la historia de estos personajes y donde Mira demostró una vez más que es una reina de la mafia y una muy fuerte mujer, Nicoli hace todo por su reina y lo prueba una y otra vez, y toda la familia demuestra que no permitirán que dañen a ninguno de los suyos sin consecuencias y terminan más fortalecidos que nunca. Las interacciones entre los hermanos, aún en los momentos más serios, oscuros y sangrientos, son de alguna manera hilarantes, Caelian es todo un personaje y no puedo esperar a su historia. Para que disfrutes de todas estas historias ve a sumergirte en el Dark Sovereign mundo desde Alexius para que disfrutes mejor de sus historias, esta no debes leerla sin antes no haber leído Nicoli y His Queen, ten en cuenta las advertencias de los factores que pueden ser desencadenante para algunos lectores. Si disfrutas del romance oscuro y de mafia definitivamente esta serie es para ti. Altamente Recomendada!

I need to cath my breath right now.
A word that keeps popping into my head is: INTENSE. There isn't really another word I can think of. I kept flipping page after page after page.

Once I get a hold of my emotions, I'll be back to give this trilogy a thorough full fledged review.
Just know this: READ. THESE. BOOKS.

[wendy wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series was so good.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

The intense and violent conclusion to the story.

Unveiled is the dark and twisted conclusion to Nicoli and Mira’s story. This part is focused mainly on their revenge against the Ferrero family, over Nunzio's actions and Mira regaining herself and laying her demons to rest by taking his life.
As with all the books in Nicoli and Mira's story it is very violent and full of dark, brutal sex.
A fitting conclusion to their story that was full of hatred but also full of the love between Nicoli and his Hummingbird.

[Fiona Littlewood · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another Great Read from Bella J

The only thing l would have changed is: l would’ve put a great big hot poker up his ass and cut off his dick …that would have given me retribution! However Mira found hers and so did the family in what they did so great for them. Really love these books and gospel there are more to come!

[Ruchika Mahajan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series deserves all the praise.
The author is supremely talented she has woven an intricate and intriguing world with interesting and entertaining characters.
I wanted to read Nicoli 's and Mira's story since they were introduced in Alexius 's book.
The chemistry between these two is beyond words. The scenes between them had my kindle burning.
I loved Mira . She is my all time favorite female lead now. The bar is set very high with her.
This woman was a warrior. Her journey has been amazing.
I loved Nicoli's love and devotion for her.
All the Del Rossa brothers are highly entertaining .the banter between them is something else.
Max is another great character. I hope he gets his book as well.
My only tiny suggestion is that the trilogy could have been a duet also.instead of 3 books ,2 would have been more sharper,crisper and fast paced.
After Alexius and Nicoli ,the author has a daunting task ahead to write Caelean 's story. Pardon my spelling mistakes if any :)
This series was worth the wait.
Well done Ms Bella J.
Best of luck for the third Del Rossa.

[Joan Wells · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my my ..what a delicious ending to Nicoli's story .... wowww !!! Wicked !!! Steamy !! Hottt and wild .... and who knew our heroine had it in her, did anyone suspect that Mira would have turned out to be stronger that five tough Aplha males running the Dark Sovereigns ??? Even the big bad loose cannons Nicoli and Caelian had to bow to her will ... and boy did that master plan of hers bring the victory they all were striving so hard to get !! Awesome job on Mira's part bringing Nunzio to justice and facing his retribution for all the horrible things done to Mira ... this hot and angsty couple was indeed the hottest of all the Dark Sovereign couples ... and Mira finally getting her freedom and getting her night at Club Myth ...priceless !!!!

Amazing Series!

This series is SO good! Nobody does a sex scene like Bella J WOW!! I can’t wait for the rest of the books!

[Rita Bird · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a awesome ending.

I loved this book-series!!!! I loved the main characters, what not to love. Mira needs to prove to everyone she is a survivor not a victim. Nicole needs to see her that way also. He needs to forgive himself for her being abducted by their worse enemy. Anyone that like Mafia books will enjoy this one!!!!! This store will hold her attention. I could not put it down. ENJOY!!!!!!

[Beyond The Covers Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nicoli has gone crazy tearing up the streets leaving blood trails and bodies as he and his men hunt for Nunzio. The psycho seems to be one step ahead of them.
Mira is trying to be strong after being in the hands of Nunzio. The despicable things he did to her. She's tired of everyone treating like a porcelain doll. Even Nicoli is acting different in the bedroom. She's had enough! Time to take the reins and show everyone she's not as fragile as she looks.
Nicoli's love for Mira shows no bounds. His guilt for not being able to protect her is weighing heavily on his shoulders. She's the air he breathes. He realizes just how strong she is. All she needs from him is to love her.
"Together, bound by love and vengeance, we will survive the darkness that lies ahead."
The big question is who it belongs to and the outcome.
Action packed drama, mystery, suspense, steamy scenes and revenge.
This is the last installment of Nicoli and Mira's trilogy. I suggest reading
Nicoli #1
His Queen #2
First.
Can't wait for next installment Dark Horse! Caelian's story!

[Keish · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nicoli would go to the ends of the earth to protect his wife, but Mira is so much stronger than he thinks. She is, after all, his vengeful Queen! His Hummingbird!
Heart pounding, darkness that gets under your skin and have you on the edge of your seat book, had my heart in shambles with the raw emotional love and pain that constantly pours out of Mira and Nicoli.
Their love is deep and holds no boundaries, as it seemed to be a trait in the Del a Rossa brothers.
A Epic Conclusion and a must read for 2023!!

[Shafeequah · Rating 5 out of 5]

No words...

Bella J, I am absolutely speechless! I loved every page written and am in absolute awe of Mira. Even after the trauma she suffered, the chemistry and passion between her and Nicoli was stronger than ever. Strong and refusing to be treated as a victim, she takes the lead in trying to get Nunzio out of hiding. I will not spoil it for those who haven't read the book yet, but let me say this...your heart will be breaking for Nicoli and Mira when they find Nunzio but it's all worth it in the end.

[Josie Martinez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nicoli and Mira's love overcomes all! The conclusion was magnificent. I cried, yelled and relished the sweetness of getting revenge. Mira's story comes to full-circle and the man, who loves her more than anything in the world is beside her. Nicolo's love for Mira is one that is experienced once in a lifetime. I'm glad I was able to read this book.

As those around treat Mira with kid gloves, she seethe with the want of retribution. As her old enemy seems to have eyes in her and others think they have failed her, she sets a plan and Nicoli agrees.

WHAT A RIDE!!!

I devoured this book, much like Nicoli devours Mira! This also will always and forever be, in my opinion, the Queen of smut and dark romance. There isn’t a book she can write that I won’t read.

Now if you’re here you have probably already read the first two books in this trilogy, if you haven’t PLEASE check the trigger/content warnings. This book is dark and dirty and I loved every second of it. These characters are absolute perfection together- they will do anything and everything necessary to protect each other.

This book was exactly what I needed for the conclusion of Nicoli and Mira’s story. It will have you feeling everything with these characters, their pain, love and lust all pour off the pages. And, that plot twist!!!

Another must read trilogy for dark romance lovers.

This was everything and then so much more. From the very beginning of this book it just pulls you in and the twist in the story, you just don't see coming. Mira & Nicoli last book was truly breathless.
If you haven't read this series , trust me it's perfect. As always please read all the tropes and then make your choice.
This author's work is simply amazing.

Omg. What an amazing story. The end of this trilogy is epic. Nicoli and Mira are fighting to stay ahead of the chaos. Nunzio is an evil monster. This author is fantastic. The twisted plots and heartbreaking moments created are sooo intense. Perfect ending.

[Sissy's Romance Book Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

Unveiled by Bella J is book 6 in the Dark Sovereign Series. This continues the story of Nicoli and Mirabella trilogy. Their story started in the 'Nicoli' which is book four and then to book five 'His Queen' so you really have to read those two before this one. But this is a interconnecting series so it does add to the enjoyment if you have read the previous books. This quickly picks up where we left off with Mirabella being taken and then rescued. This series is so good and such a page turning read. I hope to read more from this author soon.
