Forty year old Niccolo "Nic" Nardone is the lawyer of the Nardone mafia crime family and also the heir to the throne. Nic was in the middle of crucial meeting with their West Side lieutenants when his father the seventy year old Don Gino Nardone summon him to come see him. He wanted Nic to escort his nineteen year old child bride Bella Rinella from Chicago up to New York. This pissed Nic off to no end because he was treating him like an errand boy instead of forty year old man that he was with a law degree and years of experience who had been running their operations. The two have a tumultuous relationship one where Nic often fantasize about ending his life and he also knows that his father often wanted to reach across the desk and strangle him. Nic was disgusted by his father marrying Bella because his half-sister Gia was a little bit older than Bella at twenty-three and his dad is just as brutal, sick and percerted with women as the old bastard Aldo Cantore who he marry off his sister to at eighteen. Gino broker the deal with Vicenzo Rinella because he believes that it would strengthen their organization and give them a leg to expand into the Chicago Outfit. Bella is happy about the arrangement of marriage to Don Gino and can't wait to get to New York for some freedom to explore New York and some shopping not knowing that she's going to a house of horror, abuse, and cruelty. As Nic arrived at the Rinellas home he can't shake the feeling that him going to pick-up Bella is more than just an errand and that there was more that meets the eye.

They were on their way to the airport when Bella look up and saw that Nic and the driver was wrestling with a gun. She had never been this close to violence before and was scared. Nic was able to shoot and kill the driver but not before getting shot in the side and graze in his head. He didn't know what was going on and didn't know if her father had something to do with the hit because he felt disrespected for him showing up instead of his father. The only thing that he know is that they were alone and only had each other and that he can't trust anyone. He wanted to lay low until he figure out what's going on and they needed a place to stay. Bella tell him about cabin near a ski resort in Michigan that one of her friend of high school family owns two hours away from Chicago. Nic was hurt very badly and had started breathing shallow which only scare Bella more. She wanted to take him to the hospital but he tells her no hospital. She didn't want the only person who could protect her to died. They got to the cabin and she had to nurse him back to health daily as his wound got infected and he almost died. As the days go on they became close and relied on each other sharing childhood memories and reading to him. And them they got snowed in Bella wanted to feel her first orgasm and gave Nic her virginity. But one taste wasn't enough and they couldn't keep their hands off each other. And for the first time Nic know that he had to kill his father for Bella, Gia and the twins.

This was so good! The writing was wonderful, the story was a full one with danger and banter between our couple. These two were both so strong,they are from the same world. But in their world, men and women have different roles. She isn't a shy flower, however. She gives it right back to him and it was great! I love how he was gruff and turned into mush for her even as he fought to protect her and change their lives.
The arrangement for her hand was to his father. Not a good man, but the task of taking her to his parent was placed upon his shoulders. He did his duty, and more.
Not realizing that this woman whom he admired was going to change his world. He was a good man despite his father and meeting her, a woman who matched him, was the best thing for him. I loved both leads, they were good people and their characters were fleshed out. What chemistry! I loved how everything worked out, but I agree with him, too bad he didn't have more time to truly give it back to his father. I felt so bad for his sister and can hardly wait for the next book! I was shocked and love what is in store for our next couple! Great writing and a solid, exciting story.

When there is a hit put out on Nic and almost succeeded is when life changes for him and Bella and he don’t trust anyone, not even Bella but that changes rather quickly when his in the brink of death. Ava gave Bella a burner to call her when Bella needs saved (other then this Bella talks to Ava one other time) Niccant even trust D’Amato’s in fear they side with Bella’s father but he doesn’t know the truth when it involves Vinciento Rinella. The babies don’t play into it towards closer to the end so there is not all about protecting the baby nor any I love yous just to keep my baby and you kind of talking until much much later in this story. The next story is Nic little sister, Gia and her godfather Max, Nic’ brother from another mother, best friends and bnone related brother. Gia and Max has a past that will be hell of a story…
Triplets For The Mafia Prince is the 5th book in the Dynasty of Deception series and follows Niccolo “Nic” Nardone and Bella Rinellas. The series is interconnected but can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you read the other books in this series so you can see how all the other characters interact with each other and how Bella ended up promised to the ruthless Don Gino Nardone. Bella is excited about her pending nuptials and moving to New York especially to get away from her father. She dreams of freedom, shopping and college what she doesn't want to believe is his reputation and she's walking into a fate worse than hell. Nic is sent to Chicago to fetch his father's soon to be bride. He is less than thrilled with this task but with his father's threats he knows he can't refuse. Little did they know the trip would be a fight for their lives as gun fire erupts. Now they're in hiding while they figure out who wants them dead. What a twisted web this story weaves from an arranged marriage, threats, revenge, betrayals, secrets, retaliation, murder and an undeniable chemistry pulling them closer together. I must say their story won't be easy to forget.

This is the 5th story in the Dynasty of Deception Series where we find Bella is being offered as a replacement bride for her father’s deal with the Don of the Nardone Family who is one evil and cruel man. His 2nd is Nic his son and he’s been given the duty to retrieve her from Chicago and bring her back to NY. Bella believes with her intended being 70 years old life won’t be too bad and she’ll have some new adventures in NY City. There is an attempt on Nic’s life and he ends the threat and taking Bella on the run to find out how to survive after being badly shot. We see quite Bella step up and do what is necessary to get them to a safe place, nursing Nic and not being able to contact anyone. These two discover they have more in common the they thought so when they come together it seems just right. When reality comes back Nic being 10 years older believes Bella would be better off without him creating doubts in Bella. These two figure out they are stronger together and find themselves in a dangerous war to end his father’s reign allowing them a chance for a better life!

Part of the Dynasty of Deception series get comfortable you put it down until the last page has been turned. Niccolo sexy as all get out Don isn’t a man to underestimate, he is ruthless, dangerous, deadly, takes what/who he wants and never really forgot the one night with the women he can’t forget his father’s young bride (of course they weren’t arranged at the time) knowing his father take women then they disappear now he has to bring the next wife. Bella has always wanted freedom, but her father has always had other plans he arranged her to marry a man her father’s age so when his son picks her up, she doesn’t expect much and that one night changed everything for her. Fast forward that one night of being trapped together lead to something amazing but also heartbreaking because she found she was pregnant with the man’s child that she wants to be with but will his plans work, will he be able to take out his father considering he has Bella, will he be able to save her, save his babies, and will they get their own happiness somewhere in the betrayal, the lies?
As a daughter of a head of an organization she knew fate would not be kind and being forced into an arranged marriage to a man old enough to be her grandfather is sadly her path in life. When he sends his son Niccolo to retrieve her, she leaves with him. Never imaging someone is trying to kill Niccolo and she is just a causality of war has her helping Niccolo find a safe space until his strength is back.
Niccolo knew something was odd when his father ordered him to pick up his new bride Bella. Way to young for his father, but his vile personality had no boundaries. When it becomes apparent the errand was just a ruse to take him out, he has to fight his attraction too Bella. Being snowed in doesn't help. Will he be able to get them to safety and take out the threat dogging his heels?
This was fun but a bit angsty with the back and forth, for both characters. I am eager to read the next book though looks to be fantastic. I felt for Bella, she had no choice in her life which was sad. Will check out more in this series.
Rinella's oldest daughter is married to the D'Amato's right hand man/cousin. In order to cement his alliance with Don Nardone he offers his next daughter, Bella. Don Gino Nardone sends his son/heir to collect her from Chicago. Niccolo Nardone cannot believe his father is treating him like a low level soldier.
Bella cannot wait to get out her father's house, she hopes this new chapter will give her freedom, the rumors about her fiancé cannot be true can they? She never expected when her soon to be stepson came to collect her that he would end up shot and both of them on the run.
As Niccolo starts to heal, the chemistry between the pair increases until they both cannot resist any more. Can he finds out who was the intended target and who is gunning for them before they try another attempt?
This a perfect installment of the series looking forward to the next one.

I blame my reading slump for the fact that I finished this. I pushed thigh even thigh I skimmed a fair bit. Man this was not good. Weak pathetic characters were everywhere. The MMC knows his father has been hurting women and children for years and only just now gets his shit together to take him down at the ripe age of 41….The plot was choppy and kind just thrown together and the synopsis isn’t how things go down. We get crappy epilogues and one epilogue is from the sister and I won’t be reading her book.
POV: Dual, 1st person. SERIES or STANDALONE: 5th in series, can be read as a standalone. TROPES: M/F adult, mafia, age gap romance. SIZE: 261 (last page) Kindle pages. CHARACTERS: Nic (41) & Bella (19)

This author bring books that are intriguing, dramatic, intense, gritty and compelling every single time. Triplets For The Mafia Prince is no different. This is Niccolo "Nic" Nardone and Bella Rinella's story. Although it's an arranged marriage story, the arranged part doesn't go quite the way it's planned. Things take a big turn at the start and then throughout their journey there's more twists, turns, surprises and betrayals. It's an engaging journey with fantastic characters you don't want to miss out on! I can't wait for Max and Gia's story!
Wow! I was hooked at page one. Triplets for the Mafia Prince is a fantastic dark and forbidden mafia romance between Bella and Niccolo, her soon to be stepson. Niccolo is furious when his father, the Don orders him to pick up his young bride but he has little choice but to obey. Bella and Niccolo have intense chemistry and one explosive night leaves Bella pregnant with triplets. Let the twists, turns and fireworks begin because when Niccolo learns about the babies he will not let anyone take them from him. Definitely recommend for those that love dark and steamy mafia romance!
This was a great mafia story. We follow Bella and Nic. They meet when Nic is sent by his father to pick up Bella, his future stepmother. Just like Nic, Bella is also expected to marry the Don in New York. But fate decided otherwise, when they return to the plane they are attacked, they have to flee but also find out who is behind the assassination attempt. It is a story with tension, drama, action, danger and enough spicy and hot scenes.
