Ivory Crown

by Clarissa Bright

This mafia prince's iron grip on the city is tested by the heartbeat of a secret that binds me to her...forever.

I've never flinched at the city's underbelly bending to my command—until Jade Bentley's defiance shattered my solitary reign.

She sparked an insatiable hunger; now, with her pregnancy, our entwined fates have woven a new dynasty–she can try to fight it, but she’s mine for good.

Jade is more than a burning obsession; she's the vessel carrying my legacy, her womb cradling my city's future...which means she's more dangerous and more fragile than anyone else in my life. And danger prowls at the edge of my dominion, each heartbeat echoing the risks we take.

In a game of shadows and silence, the choice looms stark before to cloak our unborn heir in clandestine darkness or to unveil the Ivory Crown that will alter our destiny forever.

Fans of Olivia Blair, Zoe Blake and Sam Mariano will love this slow-burn curvy surprise pregnancy mafia romance!

Oh my that ending. Ugh I did not see that coming!!! Loved the book and can't wait to read the next book, but I'm not going to lie. At some point Dante was getting me so mad at why he was doing certain things, but then it all made sense at the end. I did feel so bad for Jade too, because she was trying to do what was best for her, but everyone like against her. I honestly can't wait to see what happens next in this book.

Devoured in literally a couple hours it was so good. The story between these two is so angsty,push and pull, but heart filled. There were so many twists and turns in this one and so much betrayal. I’m honestly not sure who I trust anymore at the moment and hopefully all is answered in the last one

The continuation of the Ivory Throne. This trilogy is turning into something that I am anxious to read. The first book was good, but this one definitely kicked it up a notch. Readers are still getting to know Dante Moretti and Dr. Jade Bentley. Jade is pregnant. Dante is going to be a father. The only way Dante can keep his fear at bay, is to keep Jade close. Real close. Dante is willing to do anything in his power to keep Jade safe. Will he turn his back on his family?

Jade did not realize that getting pregnant with Dante's child would equal a life of solitude. She is going stir crazy and coming up with crazy ways to get out that will put her life and the life of her child's in danger. Will being reckless cost them their lives? Dante wants to give Jade the world, but will not compromise on her safety. Danger is definitely lurking on the Moretti's doorstep with this one. A lot of action is in store for readers.

I went through a lot of emotions about both Jade and Dante. Mad, happy, sad. This is not like the first book. Readers will get more information about Dante's family as well. We get to see Dante's vision and how it could possible effect the family. This is not the end, and the cliffhanger is one for the books. Thankfully, Ms. Bright is ready with book 3. I can't wait too much longer. This exciting trilogy has me on the edge of my seat.

***ARC REVIEW***
Rate: 3.75 🌟

~Ivory Crown is book two of the Dark Mafia Prince of New York. We continue Dante possessiveness towards Jade after that OMG ending from Ivory Obsession which is book one. So make sure you read book one before continuing. In this story we still have Jade who is held "against her will" which honestly its Dante who is trying to protect what is HIS especially with a baby on the way. There is spice, the plot is good and lets not forget the twists and turns that will have you questioning what the..... Warning this book does end in another cliffhanger!!!

This is 💯 a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌶️🌶️🌶️spicy read that ends on a 💥 cliffhanger! Jade is "imprisoned" by Dante for her and their baby's safety but what do you think happens with a mafia prince and a doctor?!?! Nothing is simple and love won't come easy! There are enemies who will do anything to take down the Moretti family, friends who want to help Jade, & a detective wanting what he wants. There is a pregnancy, kidnapping, family, spice, and so much more in this mafia romance!

Dark,intense and so spicy!
Following the same line of book one,a steamy mafia romance that has some dark themes but in a way that adds intensity and spice to the plot.
Dante and Jade have a intense chemistry that hooks from the beginning to the last word.
My praise to the author for a great world building and development of the characters and a plot with so many turns and twists that kept me on the edge.
Ends in a cliffhanger .

Big cliffhanger

This is the second in this series and picks up where the first left off. This also ends in a cliffhanger. This story continues to have promise but I really wish the author would look into getting an editor as at times the mistakes are really distracting. But if you remove that issue the story itself is great, the characters interesting and the plot is enough that I need to know what happens next.

Ivory Crown is book 2 of the Dark Mafia Prince Of New York. It continues Dante and Jades story from Ivory Obsession and ends in a cliffhanger so be prepared to have an anxiety attack. Lol. This couple doesn't disappoint in the spice department at all! These two are utterly combustible! I love the growth of both characters throughout the story and the storyline had me completely glued to the pages start to finish. I can't wait for book 3!

I felt like the book started slow. However once it did it was fast paced and leaves you hanging on thinking this can't be the end of the book I need more. I expected a cliffhanger but I wasn't ready for this kind. I can't wait for the next book. The next book will have me on the edge of my seat I'm sure.

Clarissa Bright you are a genius, I love that while alot of Dark Mafia the series usually follow a bloodline so each brother or each friend or something. I love that this series follows one couple, that being said if you would stop leaving me on cliffhangers till you write the next book it would be great. LOL. I love this series and Dante and Jade do not disappoint.

What, the what?? This was a DNF after the OBGYN scene. If you were iffy after book one, then just skip this one.

[Misti Binkley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved it just wish it was darker
But it has plenty of spice

[LaRae · Rating 4 out of 5]

Story continues on from book 1. Lots of drama and spice. The relationship is a bit different but keeps me reading. Story will continue in book 3 so this one is not the end.

[K Huskić · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jade and Dante's story continues!

Dante takes things to the extreme here, in order to keep Jade and their unborn baby safe. There's being protective, and then there's Dante...

Jade isn't exactly happy about her situation, but as the story goes on, and she realises she really is in danger, her feelings about it all change.

There's spice and suspense and twists. I'm interested in seeing how this story will end!

Amazing continuation of Dante and Jade story with obsession, secrets, dangerous, and legacy! Enjoyed reading! A must read!
