Levi: Hawaiian Mafia Romance
Two families – One follows the letter of the law, and the other… doesn’t. But somehow, they’ve made it work. Neighbors and friends. Bound by past generations of honor, trust, and even love.
~
Ex-marine and Enforcer for the Hawaiian Mafia, Levi Lehua has no business forming relationships or attachments. But somehow, Lulani Tillman has broken down all his defenses and barreled through the walls he meticulously erected around his carefully constructed life.
It's not like Lulani has never crossed paths with her sister's new brother-in-law before. Yet for some reason, as the eve of her sister's wedding unfolds, her gaze locks with Levi Lehua’s, and in that moment, she sees an entirely different side of him.
The night takes an unexpected turn, and the tension between them becomes palpable, but their stubbornness keeps them from acknowledging their undeniable attraction.
When the dangers of Levi’s life threaten Lulani, he will stop at nothing, show no mercy, and risk everything in his quest to protect her.
~ Levi is Book Three in the Hawaiian Mafia Romance series. Although it can be read as a standalone, there's an underline story that runs through the series and for the best reading experience, it's recommended to read Book One and Two first.
This is a mafia romance that contains dark themes that may be triggering to some. At its core, this is a love story with spice, violence, and drama. However, it tackles sensitive topics like being roofie’d, sex trafficking, portraying the harsh realities of abuse/assault in its various forms - sexual, mental, and physical - and depicting acts of killing and murder.

I am in love with Levi !!! One of the greatest book boyfriends!!! Not only is he a sexy mafia guy, ex marine, but he shows lalani his sweet soft caring side !! Ohhh the spicy scenes…….. 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️
The story overall kept me intrigued the whole time!!! Packed with suspense and plot twists …action packed and written so well I could imagine the scenes playing out in my mind…
this is part of an interconnected series but can be read as a stand alone.. but it is suggested to read the first two to get the whole story.. I cannot wait to read more !!!
The relationship between the two main characters is sexxy and full of tension!! the fact that they come from two completely different families .. one that follows the laws and the other does not keeps it interesting..

I can’t help but love reading almost any mafia romance I come across. They tend to be some of my favorite dark romances. This book was a great mafia romance but a little different than what I’ve read in the past. I have read Irish, Italian, and Russian mafia books a thousand times. But this was the first Hawaiian mafia romance that I have ever come across. This book had suspense and action, things that I love in a good mafia romance. It was gripping as well as having characters that you couldn’t help but love. The twists and turns had me hanging on and needing to see what the next chapter brought and the romance between the two main characters had me falling in love with them. They had amazing chemistry, and their banter back and forth was absolutely spectacular.
My favorite angle with mafia romances is when the MMC is the enforcer of the mafia. The enforcer is known for being the big, brutal, tough guy, so when he meets the FMC, his whole world ends up getting flipped upside down. We get to see the soft side of the tough guy. Levi was such a perfect MMC. He was tough and efficient in his work, but he showed another side with Lulani. With her he was caring and protective. He didn’t think he deserved to have a relationship because of his job, and when she gets pulled into his world, he will burn the world down to protect her. Lulani’s sister is Levi’s sister in law and the two collide because of the wedding of their siblings. She breaks down his defenses and becomes his world. The chemistry between these two is explosive.
I love a good mafia romance and I really enjoyed the fact that this was a different angle than what I typically read. I loved the interactions between the two main characters and the spicy times were incredibly hot. This book has well written and had good pacing. It is a great book to read if you are a fan of mafia stories, but are looking for something new.

Levi by Nalani Titcomb.
Hawaiian Mafia romance book 3.
I did enjoy this book. It was a quick and easy read for me. I loved how protective Levi was with Lulani. I'm hoping there is more to come. Would recommend this series.

I enjoyed Mahina and Zeb, the first two novels in this series, so much and couldn't wait to read Levi! The third Hawaiin Mafia Romance book did not disappoint.
After a rather brutal end to Zeb's and Mahina's antagonists, the tension and betrayal continue within the Hawaiian organization. As Zeb's second in command, enforcer, and cousin turned brother, Levi feels directly responsible for the losses of the past year. After Zeb's and Mahina's wedding, he continues his relentless monitoring of the family's safety, becoming enfatuated, despite his best attempts to maintain boundaries, with Lulani, Mahina's sister. Lulani, accepting Levi as the "good" man she sees him as while he fights evil under the radar of the law, is equally enfatuated. When Lulani's life is targeted and Uncle Charlie is clearly riding up against Zeb and Levi, will she fight or will she disappear?
Mahina was good, Zeb was great, and Levi was fantastic! I have loved every one of these books, but each installment is even more captivating with the relationships.

I love this series. Book 3 is so good. This series keeps on getting better and better. Now, these can be read as a standalone, but it does follow better if you start with book 1 first. New favorite author.
Levi is now on my book boyfriends list! I had to add him. How could I not?
I love the connection they have for each other. It is just fire. He saves her twice.
This is such a good series. There are suspense, plot twists, and action packed. I'm in love with the authors writing. There is just something about it that draws you in and keeps you interested.
I love me a dark Mafia romance. This seems to be my thing because I've yet to read a Mafia romance that I hated!

Thank you Nalani for letting me read this book ahead of the release date!
If you haven’t read Mahina and Zeb (books 1 & 2), STOP now 🚫 for a better reading experience and it’ll make more sense since it picks up right where Zeb’s book ends.
Levi is an ex-marine and enforcer for the Hawaiian Mafia otherwise mentioned as “The Organization” so he has it in his head that he shouldn’t form relationships or attachments but he can’t seem to get Lulani Tillman (Mahina’s sister) out of his head.
If Zeb’s around Mahina, Lulani is always around and so is Levi, in the shadows, so it’s not the first time Lulani’s been around Levi. For some reason the night of Mahina and Zeb’s wedding, Levi catches her eye and they have a moment in which Levi suddenly stops.
Over the course of 3 months, things were as if “the moment” never happened between Lulani and Levi, but Lulani’s suddenly in the crossfire of the dangers of Levi’s world, it snaps something in him and he will stop at nothing to make sure she’s safe.
I really enjoy both their characters and how they develop over the course of the story; it’s simple but effective. They have great banter, chemistry and how they bring another side out of each other.
Now the way the book ends, SMH! I can’t wait to read that story!
Overall, I’d recommend this book if you like to read about a mafia enemies to lovers romance with great chemistry and character development.

I love both of them so much. I love the bickering, the tension and the chemistry between them. The plot kept me intrigued with all twist and turns. Levi was trying to keep distance because he think he can’t be relationship because of his work but his jealousy and protectiveness take over. I love the moments between them before they finally came together.
I also love the the side character, i love supportive and protective they were. I am so excited to read the books in this series.
Levi is Book Three in the Hawaiian Mafia Romance series. Although it can be read as a standalone, there's an underline story that runs through the series and for the best reading experience, it's recommended to read Book One and Two first.

4.5 stars ❤️
Levi and Lulani 🥹 They were hawt! I loved how we were shown the Hawaiian culture and way of life. Thank you so much, Nalani Titcomb, for the ARC Opportunity ❤️
Levi Luhau 🥹 Sweet, quiet, reserved, protective, possessive, grumpy, an enforcer, and crazily in love. He is insanely attracted to Lulani, who is his sister-in-law, after his cousin, Zeb, married her older sister. But he keeps his distance because he believes he wouldn't be able to perform his duty properly as an enforcer if he had any distractions. This couldn't be further from the truth, and I am so glad he got that talk from Zeb about putting his mind right! He definitely had to grovel, and I loved it!
Lulani Tillman 🥹 She's beautiful, intelligent, shy, quiet, hardworking, protective, possessive, helpful, kind, gentle, loving, and a firecracker! She made Levi work for a chance with her, after he made a mess every time things started to progress between them! I loved how brave she was and wasn't afraid to fight back. I love the bond she has with her sisters and even with Zeb. I could relate to her so much about not being able to find and choose a career until you find that passion for one.
Overall, it was a great read with a sunshine fmc and a sunshine only for her mmc. The writing is done really well, and there is a good flow, with no 3rd act breakup ❤️ The characters are really interesting, and Cillian especially caught my interest 🤭

Levi
Hawaiian Mafia Romance
Book Three
By Nalani Titcomb
I was not ready for Levi & Lulu!! Let me tell you a Marine and a firecracker make for one sexy book.
Levi is Zeb’s enforcer. He is a former Marine and can more than handle being The King of the Streets. He has no intention of romance or having a family until Lulani. The only questions are will she forgive his hasty retreat and can he keep safe from the brewing war?
Nalani Titcomb is an amazing writer. Her words bring my mind straight to Hawaii. Her imaginative writing style brings not only the island but her characters to life for me. I can picture Levi in my head. I can visualize him as he hikes through mountainous terrain to get to Charlie’s men. Her words describing Lulu paint the picture of a strong woman who loves her family and who like me is still searching for what she wants to be when she grows up. I think that is the beauty of well written books. You see herself in the characters or you feel their emotions. This book had me gasping in some parts and laughing in others. I adore the sister relationship between Mahina, Lulu, and Lina. Their bond in the face of all that has happened is strong and beautiful.
I don’t know why, but I thought Levi was the end. But wait, Lina needs to tell her story. I am going to try so hard to not beg Nalani to write faster. I am on pins and needles now until Cillian arrives.

The Firecracker and the Enforcer. From the beginning of the book you knew the chemistry was evident. Lulani and Levi have a moment after her sister's wedding. That moment quickly cools down but leaves you with all the angst of what could have been. Lulani is in her mid thirties and has been through a rough couple of years. She is trying to still figure out life cause lets be honest who isn’t at this point. From picking up odd end jobs and ubering at night to make some additional money. Levi is an enforcer for the Mafia and along with his cousin Zeb run the organization in Hawaii. What we quickly see is the amount of respect that Levi has for Zeb and since Lulani is his sister in law he doesn’t want to mess that relationship up. But when Lulani becomes a target of revenge all bets are off and Levi can no longer wait. Lulani is his and he will do anything to protect her and boy does he but that also does not leave her behind because the nickname firecracker fits her to the t. Lulani also has a protective nature and no one can harm Levi especially not in front of her. The way the family relationships are portrayed and the amount of respect that is shown throughout leaves you falling not only for Levi and Lulani but also holding special places for Lulani’s sisters and Zeb. Family dynamic is so important and having that support to go save the day and each other is so evident.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 5 Stars
🌶 - Spice Level
Levi's Book 3 shows him a quiet enforcer and doles out the commands to the rest of the Mafia's organization. He thinks he can't have a relationship as his role is protector, and it would mess with his work, thus mistakes. Lulani is another sister in the Tillman clan who has no real compass in life without a passionate job that is enjoyable. She's floating through her life until Levi finally makes a move at Zeb's wedding, but stops before it becomes intimate. Months later, Zeb basically says he'll toss out Levi and close up the mafia immediately if Levi doesn't go get want he wants, which is Lulani.
Levi is the protector with the touch her and ☠️ mentality. No one hurts Zeb's family or Lulani in particular. He saves her twice within days of each other before he makes the decision she moves in with him for direct protection from him. I loved seeing these two explosive characters come together with 🤌 spice. It was finally time to put uo or shut up with no misunderstandings between them. Now, to wait for the next sister to fall for the enemy.
Thank you, author, for the ARC!

❤️📖 This is the 3th book in A Hawaiian Mafia Romance, release day February 4. 📖❤️
Levi was a pretty misterious man in previos books, so I was happy to get his book, and oh boy, Levi didn't dissapoint!
Levi is disciplined man, he is the right hand of his cousin-Zeb and he makes it his mission to keep him, his business nd now his growing family safe.
Only Lulani- Mahina's sister is a problem. A beautiful distraction, she makes him feel thinks he thought were impossible and suddenly he is afraid. Because everytime he gives in to temptention he brakes Lulani's heart a little bit more and more, because running away is for him the only option, only way to keep everyone alive. But can he really resist?
Get ready for another great story with these two families on Hawaii, more action because we get the insight who is the traitor, new enemies are in game with great plot and don't even let me start with the epilogue 😅, because this book was not released yet and I need next one😅.
I enyojed Levi's and Lulani's relationship and once they give each other chance... Boom 🥵🌶️ take some cold watter.
Levi was a pretty misterious man in previos books, so I was happy to get his book, and oh boy, Levi didn't dissapoint!

This is part of a romance series but can be a standalone (they do reference a good chunk of what but do give background for the most part).
Levi is the enforcer and second in command to his cousin Zeb's organization. With this role, he feels that he needs to sacrifice everything to be sure everyone is safe, including his need to be around Lulani who also happens to be the new sister in law of Zeb's.
Lulani doesn't know what she wants in life. Her family is so important and she would do anything for them, but in the end, she does feel all alone. She thinks there may be something with Levi but he keeps giving her mixed signals with given in to their attraction but then pushes her away. It's so frustrating.
When Lulani's life has been threatened multiple times, Levi places her in his care to save her from these threats. But close proximity creates more friction.
There is some violence, and a few twists and turns. This book closes out part of story line that starts in the first book in the series to open up another in the back end. Good scenes, with some fun banter.

Levi is book three of the Hawaiian Mafia Romance Series.
Lulani's family really bothered me with how they treated her. I get they were trying to protect her, but they seemed to treat her like she was a child at times. That super bothered me and I didn't understand why they constantly did this. The only one who really didn't was her younger sister.
Levi needs to work on his communication skills. He does a lot of stupid things when it comes to Lulani and he really needed to be smacked over the head. Thankfully he had Zeb there to finally talk some sense into them.
There is some suspense with this story as it seems someone is after Lulani and we need to try to figure out who it is. This does act as a bit of a catalyst to get Levi to finally open up a bit and work through his feelings.
Overall, it was a good read, just certain people bothered me at times, but by the end of the book everything was good.

‘Levi’ is Book 3 in Nalani Titcomb’s Hawaiian Mafia Romance series and it was my favourite of the bunch! Did I highly enjoy Mahina and Zeb’s books, yes I did. But there was something about the dynamic of ‘Mister Sullen Grumpypants’ Levi and the ‘firecracker’ attitude of Lulu that just hit all the right feels! I loved their banter and teasing and Levi honestly just makes me melt…🫠! He’s definitely my type of MMC!
As with the other book, Nalani just keeps throwing curveballs at you and this story keeps expanding! Keeps you on your toes! The tension, the suspense and the slow burn is a great combination! I love that it is not completely your typical mafia romance, since it is based in Hawaii, it is a nice refreshing take! Great read and I am going to not patiently wait for the next book! 😆
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 🌶️🌶️.5

🥀Levi by Nalani Titcomb🎅
“A sense of completeness filled him as soon as she was within his embrace.”
“”You’re my passion, Levi.” “Right back at you, Lulani Dahlia Tillman.””
This just hit, the first two in the series were great but this one just hit an entire new level. Loved it, packed full of all those fabulous tropes, touch her and ☠️, Your mine, forced proximity, danger, mafia and more 🫶.
We have the grumpy, moody and possessive male who can’t get out of his own head, thinking he doesn’t deserve a family or a partner. Then we have a fiercely independent FMC who doesn’t take shit from anyone and wants nothing to do with Levi until… go read it!
Tropes:
🥀Mafia Romance
🎅Touch Her and ☠️
🥀Enemies to Lovers
🎅Protector Romance
🥀Forced Proximity
Rating:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25/out of 5

Nalani’s writing is filled with heart, action, and quality spice. As someone who devours mafia romances, it was so refreshing to read a mafia romance NOT based on the eastern or central time zones, but rather the Hawaiian islands. Is there a grump? Yes. Is there an intense mafia related situation? Yes. Does the image of a beach in the background constantly help set the mood for the text? Also yes!
What I love most in this storyline is how Lulani is someone still trying to find her right niche in the world as a thirty-six year old woman. As Levi puts it, “there’s nothing wrong with having multiple interests in life.”
For lovers of mafia romance, definitely jump on this series! I haven’t yet read the first two in the series, but I’m hooked!
💕 Special thank you to Nalani for including me on her eARC team for this book! 💕

I am getting into my mafia romance era and this one is a dark Hawaiian mafia romance, yes please. This book is full of twists, turns, action, and spice.
Levi is the grumpy and sexy mafia man we all love. With his job and past he doesn’t want anyone getting to close and has counted out love, that’s until one woman is able to break through and he can’t seem to stay away and want to keep her safe.
Lulani is such a dependent woman. Her family and their spouses all worry and want to protect her. She wants to do things her way, but that all comes to a stop when she gets drugged and Levi comes to rescue her.
The chemistry, banter, and tension between the two is over the top. Both of them try to resist one another, but the connection is there and they can’t ignore it forever.

🖤 Mafia Romance

🖤 Forced Pr0ximity
🖤 Touch her and

I have loved this entire series, and it is packed full of strong characters.
Levi is the enforcer and protector of the organization. He has always believed he isn’t able to have relationships as it could interfere with his work. He feels a relationship is a liability.
Lulani is carefree and very passionate about her job; Levi hesitates to make a move on her at Zeb’s wedding. But after a few close calls Levi has her move in with him so he can better protect her.
The chemistry between these two is hot!

If you love a protective, broody hero and a fiery, independent heroine, Levi is going to steal your heart—and maybe wreck it a little along the way.
Levi is everything you want in an alpha male: possessive, intense, and completely devoted. But what really makes this book shine is the chemistry between him and the heroine. Their push-and-pull dynamic had me flipping pages at lightning speed. The tension? Off the charts. The angst? So deliciously painful. And the romance? Let’s just say it’s the kind that lingers long after you close the book.
This story has the perfect mix of steam, drama, and emotional depth. If you’re a fan of protective men, forced proximity, and a love that burns through every obstacle, you NEED to read Levi.

Levi. Freakin. Lehua. A man of his words. A man that is blinded by the woman he loves. His Firecracker. Lulani is such a precious woman and the way Levi treats her is beyond words. The way he undertands all of her tells, takes care of her, listens to ger . . . Everything about his is perfection. Zeb was good, but Levi stole my freakin heart. He is perfection at its finest.
Now to the plot. The plot was really good. The minor twist in the story was nice. The story line was perfection. The war, the pacts, the teams, everything was amazing in this books.
The characters are amazing. The relationship between the sisters, between Zeb and Levi, the friendships, literally everything was amazing. They are just perfect.

I read this book as an ARC and really liked it. This book could be read as a standalone but it is better to read the first two books first.
I loved Levi and Lulani and seeing their relationship evolve. I liked how it ended but I kinda wish we got to see more so I’m hoping even though the next book will be about a different character we will see more of them.
I loved having to keep reminding myself that these characters are in their late 30s/early 40s depending on which character you’re talking about because my brain wants to think they are in their 20s.
Overall this is a really good book but my favorite is still book 1.

A hot Hawaiian mafia enforcer who is an alpha, massively possessive and completely in love with his girl? If that sounds appealing then say yes to this book.
Levi is the lead enforcer of the Hawaiian mafia and he has his yes on Lulani. The both feel the attraction and their chemistry is white hot. The way this man falls for Lulani is just the absolute sweetest thing. He is devoted and set to win this girl. And Lulani finds herself in danger on separate occasions and who is there to rescue her? Yes Levi! And why is someone targeting her?
I fell in love with Nalani Titcomb’s writing when I read Mistaken Identity at the Storyteller’s Cottage and now reading this series is perfection!

Okay I’m definitely hooked into this one now by the 3rd Book!
The blurb of this book is SPOT ON!
Families that are bounded in duty by past generations is an amazing plot to build on and the author does a phenomenal job of this!
The focus between the sparked relationship of Levi and Lulani is new and enticing in this one as she breaks down every part of his hard stone demeanor.
Each book has an extremely strong MMC personality with protectiveness.
I recommend to check your triggers before reading this series as there are some dark tropes and vibes.

I absolutely couldn't wait to read this one because I have been interested in Levi since book 1 and book 2. It did not disappoint. Levi and Lulani are a perfect match. They are like fire & gasoline. Lulu is a firecracker and Levi is such a strong and caring person. When he gives himself, he gives his all. I just love how both him and Zeb take care of the women in their lives, no matter what. The action and plot twists in this one was amazing. I had my thoughts about Addy's secret man but was not expecting the ending. I can't wait for the next book.

Levi is book 3 in the Hawaiian mafia series. Levi is the mafia’s enforcer, the king of the streets. He’s most comfortable talking business or taking out the bad guys. The books brings together two characters I really didn’t see coming. In a whirl wind of a Romance Levi must open up to Lulani and Lulani must learn to obey his commands and trust him completely. The plot twists are shocking and well placed. Levi is definitely the spiciest of the 3 books so far! Everything about this book is brilliant!

Men who live in the grey yet have the best moral compass & principles. These are the men Nalani has created. Levi is hard, disciplined & when he claims Lulani, you end up doing the happy dance at the fireworks. The women Nalani has created aren't weak but added strength to these men. Intense emotions, smoking chemistry, banter, laughter, danger, surprises & family fills the pages that you will have you devouring up the pages. Now I cannot wait for the book! Brilliant.

I LOVED this book! I loved the first two books, but I loved this one even more. There was so much that happened, the main characters’ connection was very good, it was easy to be emotionally attached to the main characters, there was spice, and I just loved it so much. Now, I need the next book asap! Excited that this series is continuing. Same as with the first two, make sure to check the trigger warnings.
