Stallone - Book Two in The Russo Mafia Series

by Monroe Thirty

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐞𝐜𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐲, 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐭. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐞... 𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬."

Jordano Russo was born to lead, but with insurmountable power comes great... expectation.

With his brother no longer to guide him, he alone has rebuilt his family to greatness. However, the natives are restless, in need of a leader they can depend on, one who can prove his commitment to their future with a commitment to his own.

Stallone needs a wife.

When fate throws him the most unlikely of opportunities, brandishing a knife to his carotid and cursing his name, he captures her with both hands. Of course, he's just caged a beast ready to rip out his throat... and there's nothing he won't do to satisfy her wrath.

🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

Norina Laska. Once a woman, now walking death.

Her life stolen by those meant to protect her, she now survives with a singular purpose, and she doesn't care how much blood she must spill to achieve it.

Her search for vengeance leads her to one man; the Russo she's hidden from in the shadows. Her vow of punishment takes her on an unholy journey as the gods make their will heard. She must find favour with a king she shall never bow to.

A contract written in blood seals their route to hell together... but do you know what they say about that line between lunacy and lust?

It's a fun one to die on...

Stallone & Norina
Enemies to lovers
Mafia romance

I LOVE this book!!!

I've always had a soft spot for Stallone even if we should have hated him after the last books... but it's the bad boy vibes that had me sucked in 😂

I LOVE him and Norina!!! She's incredible and made me laugh so much!

Omg the last few chapters had me sobbing 😭😭😭😭 I can't believe that happened but I'm totally trusting the process.... 😬😂

This book is currently only available on Monroe's Patreon but you definitely need to read it!

Stallone is a wild ride from start to finish, and it’s crazy in the best possible way. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, unexpected twists, and unforgettable moments that will leave you breathless.

The story is so unique and brilliantly executed that you just have to read it to understand why it’s a masterpiece. It’s one of those books that defies description but captivates you completely once you dive in.

If you’re looking for something fresh and exciting, Stallone is the book for you. It’s totally recommended!

Haven't started this one. I'm a little ansy. Stallone is the one villain who holds a piece of my heart. Hated how he treated May, especially after everything she went through. But I can also see how his twisted way to show love came about. He has a heart, but is afraid or unwilling to show it. Maybe he just doesn't understand what to do. Hopefully he will ultimately find something and realize what he did to May. As always one if your biggest fans from the start.

Ahhhh, and here it is. So far my favorite of all her books and it has nothing to do with the fact that the FMC is named after me (yes I know I cried a lot about that 😭)
You love a morally BLACK MMC and a deranged FMC? Welcome to the club because this is your book, bestie!
And the plot….so so good!
You won’t regret starting this book 😌😘

This is book two in the Russo Italian Mafia series and it has been a roller coaster ride from the beginning. Monroe’s first foray into writing a morally gray MMC has not disappointed and she has succeeded in changing my opinion of Jordano Russo. This story is still unfinished but Monroe never disappoints.

A mafia story like no other 🖤A character we all pretty much (hated) had a strong dislike of within the series. 😂Monroe gives us a chance to see why Stallone is Stallone. It’s heartbreaking, heartwarming, crazy, steamy, etc…. Again the monrollacoaster everyone loves to be on. Monroe thirty is my favorite 😍

[Ana Maria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Norina and Stallion are so different from other characters! Do they love each other??? I guess they do, but they are so much more! A match made in hell, a queen and a king bathed in blood of their enemies and any who dears to endanger their family, all of this with shania twain’s songs in the background!

[Beautiful Disaster · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an ongoing book and I look forward to the updates. This series is my first mafia book to read and I love it bc it isn't typical but it's amazing. Seeing the stories and being in their heads...I freaking love it.

[M3lwithyou · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loving it so far…(has newspaper ready if Monroe acts up again)!!!

[Stacey Watts · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you like hilarious you need the female lead in your life. This is a dark read, darker than most books that claim to be dark but it's also beautiful in the most deranged way!

[Elorn Hilaire · Rating 5 out of 5]

A bad boy and love? Doesn't fit? Well, everything is possible. Read this book and find out.

[Lianne Short · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant book xx😘

[Tamara Louise · Rating 5 out of 5]

The second book in The Russo Mafia series. Rina has to be one of the most entertaining characters I have ever read. This book is a must for any Monroe or Mafia romance fan.

[XenyMarie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was utterly and complete madness and I loved every second of it, heartbreaks and all.

After having made some of thr worst decisions of his life because of his feelings for a woman, Stallion basically swore off women. But as the new king of the mafia, the families expect him to marry soon. Then we have Norina, who literally crashes into Stallion's life and turns his whole world upside down. Norina and Stallion find themselves helping each other in their missions, and their relationship develops into one that is very unique and interesting. Needless to say, there's never a dull moment with these two.

This story is a rollercoaster of emotions. It would have you laughing your ass off one minute and cry crying your heart out the next. Monroe, once again did a spectacular job at giving us a unique story that left us begging for more like the little masochists we are. I can't wait to see what happens next in the Russo series.
