The instructions were clear. Go into the enemy compound and leave no one alive. My brother is the head of the family, and he makes the calls. Normally I go along with it, but not this time. I find Abruzzo’s youngest daughter, a stunning redhead, cowering under a table, and decide I want her in my cage.
Raina looked so sweet and innocent, meek and mild. Much to my surprise, she’s anything but. Playing with fire can get you burned, but somehow, I know it’ll be worth it in the end. I live life dangerously and there’s nothing more threatening than her. She is both my destruction and my salvation.
Killing my family was his first mistake. Kidnapping me was his second. I’m not the scared little mouse he takes me for. Once he’s in my trap, it won’t only be him that pays the price for what he has done. His entire family will be gone. I’ll light the match and sit back and watch the show. And what a show it’ll be.
All is fair in love and war. Can Kage turn things around before it’s too late, or is this the end of the Bonetti line?

This is book three in the Bonetti Brother series featuring Lorenzo “Kage” Bonetti. He swears he is not a one woman man. He even made a pact with his other single brother, Psycho.
Until he meets Raina Abruzzo AKA “Firecracker”. She’s from a rival family and Kage is ordered to unalive her. But he doesn’t.
This is another wild and unhinged story. Kage is pretty unredeemable in the things he does to Raina. I did feel that she gave in to him and/or forgave him too easily. Their “relationship” was never stable.
This is a quick and very bingeable story. Please check your triggers as it is very dark and spicy.
I listened to the audio narrated in duet by Savannah Thomas and Caden Hart- both new to me narrators. Both are excellent!

All right, let’s talk about Kage! This is the third book in the Bonetti brother series. It is narrated by Savannah Thomas and Caden Hart who both just do a phenomenal job narrating this! all of our narrators throughout this series have done a phenomenal job Just gonna go ahead and give them some love again too. But from the beginning prologue, I was hooked from this story. This one to me has some of the most gutwrenching moments, especially at the beginning of the book. If you’ve read or listen to the book, you know exactly what I’m talking about but I did really enjoy Kage and Raina’s stored the most because they are a true enemies to lovers being that they are from these rival families, and if you’ve followed along through the previous two books, you know that their families are in this mafia war due to some things that Reaper had done! Chelle has done just an incredible job with this and I cannot wait for the final book Psycho. The Bonetti Brothers has definitely become one of my favorite dark mafia romances series and I am constantly recommending the series to anyone wanting to read, dark romance or getting into mafia romance. This is always one of the series, I’m like you need to read. Shout out to bluenose audio productions who just do an amazing job with all of their audiobooks!

This is the third instrument in the Bonetti Brothers series and it continues to blow me away! My God do I love these Bonnetti Brothers… Swoon!
Chelle is an utter master at her craft and can write with her eyes closed. She can set a scene perfectly immersing the reader into an amazing and brutal world of dark Mafia romance with some of the most beautiful and brutal bad boys around.
This is a superb and an exquisite piece of writing by Chelle Rose. A brilliant and intriguing storyline that continues on from the last book. Kage is the next brother to be, how shall we put it… Emotionally challenged?
I love this series and with each instrument it only gets better. This is full of denial, mistrust, sizzling hot spicy scenes, lust and possessiveness, internal struggles and family loyalty, found family dynamics and obsessive behaviour. Romance and rage. It’s quite an emotional rollercoaster ride and the spice is totally spicing.
Kage: Lorenzo. Is immune to anything love/feelings related… Strong and duty bound. He is part of the Bonnetti lineage and proud of it! Nothing will get in the way of defending his family! But once he faces Abruzzo’s youngest daughter, a stunning redhead no less, all is out of the window so to speak.
He struggles between his loyalty to his family and the unfamiliar feelings he doesn’t quite understand, or want… He has a pact after all
Raina: Abruzzo’s youngest daughter and pretty much worthless in her father‘s eyes. A means to an end, should be seen not heard! A female only good for marrying off for his own gain. Her whole life has been abusive and quite literally a struggle but she remains strong. Then she meets Kane!
I love the dynamic between these two characters the push and pull. There’s a strong electrical current between them. It’s explosive and a hell of a rollercoaster ride from beginning to end.
The narrative is full of twists and turns, tension and violence!
You will not want to miss this!!
A must read! If you haven’t started the Bonitti series already you really should!!
A must for any dark mafia romance fan!

Audiobook Review:
I am so obsessed with this series and it continues to exceed my expectations.
This audiobook brings the whole narrative to yet another level…
With phenomenal voice acting by, Caden Hart aka Kage Bonetti one of the Bonetti brothers and Savannah Thomas as Raina Abruzzo.
Caden does such an incredible job with this character and his development throughout his characters journey of denial and inner turmoil, his emotional depth gives this amazing character so much more intricate meaning, intensity, strength and intrigue! A truly amazing performance. Oh and what an incredible voice he has…swoon! You will love him even more… as I do.
Savannah Thomas what can I say? Pure brilliance. A beautiful and deeply dynamic performance worthy of our Firecracker aka
Raina Abruzzo. The daughter of the rival Mafia family.
Savannah portrays the depths of her character superbly and with such intensity and ease. Giving this incredible woman her unique voice and creating a beautiful well of emotional connection to this fantastic character.
This audiobook brings us closer to the intricate details of the overall Bonetti storyline and should not be missed.
Blue nose audio has done it yet again! Pure brilliance…

Quotes:
“Hair as red as fire. Eyes as green as emeralds. You will look stunning in my cage.”
“You’re an Abruzzo. The entire line must die, yourself included. We’re just taking a slight detour.”
“Yes, firecracker. You mesmerize me and your mother does not.”
“Is there a way to un-mesmerize you because I think I prefer that?”
“That’s not a word, firecracker. Looks like somebody is getting a dictionary for her birthday.”

This book is a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. It is wild, it is painful at times, and it is hot all the time……🔥🔥🔥
Kage: A Dark Mafia Romance is the third book in the Bonetti Brothers series. There are four Bonetti Brothers – Bones, Reaper, Psycho and Kage. Each story is a standalone, however I recommend reading them in order because they are interconnected.
Raina Abruzzo’s family kidnaps Reaper’s lady Bella to strike revenge on the Bonetti family for killing the Abruzzo’s brothers. Raina tries to get her father and brothers to stop what they have planned but she is dismissed. Raina’s family only views her as a bargaining chip to marry her off for more power. They rape and kill Bella’s baby and nearly kill Bella. However, the Bonetti’s brothers save Bella and take Raina and her mom as hostages.
Kage was given the order by Bones (his brother and leader of the Bonetti Mafia) to kill her. But instead of killing her he sleeps with her because he is drawn to her and because she is a virgin. Raina may be a mafia princess, but she is strong, vocal, and is willing to die. This only opens doors of emotions, drama, tension, and a long journey to each other. They are attracted to each other, but they do not trust one another and their family history is dangerous. Both resist their feelings.
The family wants her dead and they almost get their wish when Bones accidentally try to shoot her, and Reaper jumps in front of her. Only to get himself shot and the bullet seriously injured Raina. The book is full of twists and turns with the main characters and the supporting characters. There are some very dark moments in this book. Each book in the series get better. You will enjoy this book.

This book is dark and steamy and everything in between. I loved Kage he is intense but I enjoyed his character growth throughout the story. I loved Raina she is from the enemy’s family. I love the morally dark grey men and their love once they found the one. Chelle i don’t ever want the bonetti brothers to end. Check your triggers and dive in. 5 stars all the way.

Kage 🔪🖤 was a wild ride!! But it was a ride that I willingly waited for! Chelle has some type of way with her writing that truly draws me in even with the hardest of subjects. She brings in the hardest subjects and decimated them with Kage & Raina.
Raina ❤️ was a mafia princess who was nothing your normal mafia princess. She didn't want to be involved in the depraved things her family were involved in. She still had a heart ❤️ and clung to her humanity when it came to the things they did. Even though her mother stepped aside while things were done she still had hope for her mother. Hope that her mother would finally stand up against everything. That was dashed quickly when everything truly started going sideways. I really liked Raina ❤️ and felt for her all the way through this book. She went through hell and back but was still fighting the whole time!
Kage 🖤🔪☠️ is a man obsessed with cages (hence the name- not like the Kardashians 🤣.) Kage refuses to let anyone get by him that has hurt his family. But Raina ❤️ truly changed that for him. She changed everything when it came to his feelings on love. He took from her what she held dearly. But he was determined to make it up to her.
Even though death 💀 isn't something he shys away from, that was one thing he refused to let Raina do. Even if it was an order from Bones. He truly let his feelings and his ❤️ get in the way of those orders. He gained so much more with Raina than he ever thought possible. Even if it did take from his family.
I am thrilled about Psycho's book! I know he is the last unhinged brother and I already know that he is going to be OUT OF THIS WORLD CRAZY!

Kage by Chelle Rose is the third book in the Bonetti Brothers saga. This is a dark mafia romance, please read your triggers, the story is about four brothers so each of them have their own book.
If you are interested please read them in order as they are interconnected and the timeline follows the others.
The audiobook is narrated by Savanah Thomas and
Caden Hart.
Savanah has the sweetest voice for this little firecracker of an FMC. Caden was a first for me and for sure not a last time. I really enjoyed his voice and performance.
As usual the production of this audiobook was impeccable. The story is unhinged, fast paced and dark.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to have access to this ALC!

Savannah and Caden did an amazing job with this audiobook! I know that the subjects in here aren't for everyone, but they definitely made it easier to listen to. Savannah truly gave Raina a voice and carried her all the way through this whole audiobook FLAWLESSLY ❤️. I honestly didn't know when I first started listening if Caden would really capture Kage and his essence. The more I listened the more I became accustomed to him being Kage. I kind of thought Kage would have a litte more of a huskier voice, but Kaden did a great job!

There is just something about the Bonetti brothers that has caught me in their grasp, and I don’t know if I can escape them. They are emotionally stunted, extremely violent, and don’t really know how to treat women. But there is something about them that makes you fall in love with them. This is the third book in the series but only the second I have read. These books are standalones, but it really does help to read all of the books. I think I felt even more for Reaper and Bella as well as Raina because I read the book before this one. This book has soooo many trigger warnings so please remember that and know that this is definitely dark. The story was one that pulled me in, and I didn’t want to stop reading. The ending set up book 4 and now I have to know what happens next. Each of the Bonetti brothers is so different even if they are all dark mafia guys. The differences that they all have help to bring them together to be an unstoppable force and such a tight family.
I don’t know if I could love any characters in this series more than Reaper and Bella, but Kage and Raina are right up there. I really felt for Kage. He truly believed that he didn’t have a heart, going so far as to tattoo a barbed wire heart on his chest. He never plans to love a woman, and he really didn’t expect to have feelings for someone from a rival family. He has no idea how to deal with his emotions, especially ones he has never felt before. Raina’s life really crushes me. Like many mafia women, she is property and she really just wants something more. These two are so bad for each other that they are absolutely perfect.
This book is much like the rest of the series. It’s dark and there are times when you want to take out the Bonetti brothers yourself. It is so spicy, although there are some scenes where you want to unalive people yourself. But the good spicy scenes are so good. This book is another chapter in the Bonetti brothers series and has just as much action and suspense as the first two. It is definitely an entertaining read.
There is just something about the Bonetti brothers that has caught me in their grasp, and I don’t know if I can escape them. They are emotionally stunted, extremely violent, and don’t really know how to treat women. But there is something about them that makes you fall in love with them. This is the third book in the series but only the second I have read. These books are standalones, but it really does help to read all of the books. I think I felt even more for Reaper and Bella as well as Raina because I read the book before this one. This book has soooo many trigger warnings so please remember that and know that this is definitely dark. The story was one that pulled me in, and I didn’t want to stop reading. The ending set up book 4 and now I have to know what happens next. Each of the Bonetti brothers is so different even if they are all dark mafia guys. The differences that they all have help to bring them together to be an unstoppable force and such a tight family.
I don’t know if I could love any characters in this series more than Reaper and Bella, but Kage and Raina are right up there. I really felt for Kage. He truly believed that he didn’t have a heart, going so far as to tattoo a barbed wire heart on his chest. He never plans to love a woman, and he really didn’t expect to have feelings for someone from a rival family. He has no idea how to deal with his emotions, especially ones he has never felt before. Raina’s life really crushes me. Like many mafia women, she is property and she really just wants something more. These two are so bad for each other that they are absolutely perfect.
This book is much like the rest of the series. It’s dark and there are times when you want to take out the Bonetti brothers yourself. It is so spicy, although there are some scenes where you want to unalive people yourself. But the good spicy scenes are so good. This book is another chapter in the Bonetti brothers series and has just as much action and suspense as the first two. It is definitely an entertaining read.

Chelle again you knocked it outta the park.
The emotional roller coaster that I’m always on in every one of your books is on point. The spice is freaking spicing like always!!!! And the plot it’s down right fabulous.
I love that you cross over from other books and that you bring the rest of the Bonetti Brothers into every book.
Again 5/5 star read on all the levels. Plot, spice, emotions, everything
*chefs kiss*
Love your brat

When I read the long list of trigger warning This book had, my mouth salivate. Now I can definitely say, it should be “A Guide To Fall For Your Captor”
Two warring mafia families - Abruzzos and Bonettis, go from WTF to Awww in matter of 48 chapters. Bloodthirsty, Savage & forever in competition of Mayhem, they've been trying to slit throats since they could hold a knife
Abruzzos love going after women and children, born or unborn. Love gang raping women, and if pregnant, the added bonus of cutting out babies from the bellies gets them high & horny.
Mama and daughter Raina are supposed to zip their mouths and open their legs, not necessarily in that order
Bonettis are “ brotherhood of saints” by comparison. They don't touch women and babies. Fight the fight “Mano Y Mano” . Beat their chests and abduct Raina and cage her. The head honcho - Bones, loves breaking bones.Psycho is just that, Craaaazy. Reaper is harbinger of death and married to a serial killer and Kage got Raina.
Family that kills together, stays together. Obviously Raina falls for Kage.🙄
And is such large hearted, Kage kills her mother (and admits), her best/only friend Kayce in front of her and proceeds to bend her over and fuck her, with Kayce watching with dead eyes.
But honey!! He said sorry and bought her two dozen flowers, including firecrackers!!!
So her vaginas melts in a puddle at his feet.
Only the biggest hurdle is to Guage “If I wasn't pregnant, would you still love me Kage?”
I can hear all women hood standing to applause. Mob Boss wives also have their own chat group comparing dick sizes BTW, if you wanna join
Such an inspiring story. In the end Psycho finds his Soulmate too!!
Wholesome family entertainment. Only if your last name is Addams
Narration by savannah Thomas & Caden Hart was good
“3.5 stars for shovel to dig myself a hole and bury myself ”

Kage: A Masterclass in Rage, Romance, and Really Bad Decisions
First off, CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS, people! This book doesn’t just hit heavy it comes at you like a freight train with a vendetta. If your emotional stability is hanging by a thread, Kage is here to karate chop that thread into oblivion.
So, Kage (our human embodiment of anger issues) stumbles upon Raina, the Abruzzo family's youngest daughter, hiding under a table. Instead of thinking, "Poor girl, let me help," he’s like, "Yup, I’ll take that. Straight to my emotional torture chamber, thanks." And thus begins the saga of How Many Times Can One Man Self-Sabotage Before I Yeet My Kindle Across the Room? Spoiler: A LOT.
I cannot tell you how many times I screamed at my Kindle: "KAGE, STOP F*CKING SHIT UP!" But did he listen? No. My forehead now has a permanent dent from all the facepalming.
And then there’s Raina. You think she’s gonna be this sweet, innocent mafia princess, all “Yes, sir” and “No, sir.” WRONG. She’s more "I’ll bite you, stab you, and burn your house down while looking cute doing it." Kage wanted a pet? He got a feral cat with a grudge.
Their relationship is like watching two flaming dumpsters roll downhill chaotic, destructive, and you can’t look away. Just when you think they’re about to get their act together, BAM! Another emotional landmine. It’s like emotional Whack-a-Mole : every time you think this is it, nope, cue more trauma.
But honestly? I LIVED for the drama. The cameos from the other brothers and their women were the perfect sprinkle of familiarity in this chaotic stew. My heart shattered for Reaper and Bella like, can someone give them a break already?
By the end, I was emotionally bruised but weirdly satisfied. This book will break you, tape you back together with mafia-grade duct tape, and leave you begging for more. Three brothers down, one to go… and I’m already preparing my poor Kindle for the next round of abuse.
Final verdict: If you love emotional rollercoasters, morally grey characters, and shouting "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" at fictional people, Kage is your next obsession.

Dark & addictive
KAGE by Chelle Rose, book three in the Bonetti Brothers series, is dark, brutal, and addictive. While it can be read as a standalone, I recommend starting from the beginning, as Chelle builds her worlds with such depth that every connection hits harder when you understand the tangled web she wove in the earlier installments of the series.
Raina’s life has been defined by loss...several of them at the hands of the Bonetti brothers. When Kage is sent to kill her entire family in retaliation, including her, she becomes his target... but quickly turns into his obsession.
Kage is cold-blooded, violent, and completely enthralled by Raina’s mix of vulnerability and fire. He takes her, breaks her, and can’t let her go. When he gives her a chance to say goodbye to her mother before he pulls the trigger, fate steps in. The guilt, the grief, the twisted connection between them only deepens.
She should hate him, but part of her wants to stay. That’s what Chelle does so well: love stories that feel so wrong, but hit SO right.
Narrator Savannah Thomas delivers a stunning performance as Raina, capturing her brokenness, strength, and slow-burning surrender with hypnotic grace. Narrator Caden Hart is pure chaos as Kage. He’s dark, dangerous, and somehow still someone you want to cling to. His voice brings that edge Kage needs, while still finding moments of vulnerability that wreck you.
Chelle Rose doesn’t just deliver unforgettable couples, she builds a world where every love story leaves a mark. In Kage, we’re treated to glimpses of Bones and Athena, and Reaper and Bella, reminding us of the fire and fallout they’ve survived while deepening the emotional stakes around Raina and Kage. It never feels crowded; it feels connected. And just when you think you've caught your breath, Chelle seamlessly plants the seeds for what's next with Psycho.

Pretty Little Firecracker!!!

This book does touch on some serious issues. Please read the trigger warning pages.
This is 3rd book in the Bonetti Brothers series. And I have to say I am addicted to it. Chelle Rose, girl, you have the magic touch when it comes to writing dark spicy romance. I love how you bring everything to life. It's like a NR-17 dark mafia romance movie playing in my mind. It was quite a wild ride.
I never thought I would see Lorenzo "Kage" Bonetti waver, but that's what happens when he kidnaps Raina Abruzzos. He grows a soft spot for the enemies daughter, especially after he learns about how her childhood was. There were times were I wanted to give him a good hard kick in the ass. Why do all the Bonetti men have to be so stubborn and pig headed!
Can I talk about that dirty mouth that Kage has! When he said this to Raina, "Pretty little Firecracker. You will be my f*#king pet, and anything else I want you to be." I knew her panties didn't stand a chance.
The thing that Kage did her virgin body made me blush at times. He definitely becomes addicted to Raina's perfect pussy. He tells her that if any man touches her, past or present will die by his hands very painfully. He's got it bad. What woman doesn't love an asshole alpha? I know I do in a book boyfriend.
So, at the end of book, Chelle awakened my interest in the next book with a small tease into Psycho. I can't wait.
So here it is:
Bones has his Blue Butterfly.
Reaper has his Living Dead Girl.
Kage has his Little Firecracker.
And soon Psycho will have to handle his Little Lamb.

Y’all I have no words no notes 5/5 stars!
Kage is the third book in the Bonetti Brothers series by Chelle Rose. Kage was undeniably fantastic and I was refused to put it down. This book follows our mmc Lorenzo and his little firecracker Raina. The story picks up with the events that happened in Reaper book two in the Bonetti Brothers series. Kage and Rainas relationship is intense from the start. I mean I guess that does happen when you get taken and you’re from a hated family lol. The character development and growth throughout the story was perfect especially Kage’s. There were definitely some intense moments and times I was stressed and didn’t know what was going to happen, that I read with one eye open cause I just had to know 😂. I don’t wanna give any spoilers but don’t get comfy with this one its a roller coaster of emotions your certainly gonna wanna make sure your fully strapped in for. Kage does have a bunch of triggers and warnings so please check them it’s definitely darker than the last books in the series. I’d give the spice an overall 3.5/5 definitely some hot scenes in it🥵. Kage was unmistakably an amazing read 100 percent 5/5 stars. I can’t wait to read the last book in this amazing Bonetti Brothers series book four Psycho and just from the little bits at the end Chelle gave us it’s definitely gonna be a good one with another emotionally challenged Bonetti brother. Cause I mean knowing what we know about Psycho and that set up for who the FMC is……will Kage get to stab Psycho in this one 👀👀👀👀

Narrated in duet by Caden Hart and Savannah Thomas
Check your trigger warnings.
KAGE (Lorenzo) Bonetti is the 3rd of Bonetti brothers and this is book. Kage is probably the most difficult of the brothers to get a reading on, he is so shut off with regards to emotion that he is sure he has no idea what love is and he is at a total lose as to how his other bothers have allowed themselves to fall hopelessly in love with just one women, that’s until he meets Raina Abruzzo the daughter of their enemies family.
When Kage and his brothers decide that all of the Abruzzo family have to die as revenge for abducting Bella, but Kage stumbles over Raina hiding and he decides she will look good in his cage and decides to take her just for a few days before he will end her life, and this is where thing start to change for Kage because Raina is nothing he had ever known before, she is resilient, strong and due to her upbringing in a household where males have always dominated she is not surprised by his actions.
There are twists in this book that totally shocked me and they only added to the fabric of the story of how Kage and Raina’s relationship develops over time and how they deal with their emotional struggles especially Kage as he has never experienced anything like this before.
The narration for this book by Caden Hart & Savannah Thomas is exceptional, and had me totally immersed from the very beginning as they brought her amazing writing by Chelle Rose well and truly to life.
I cannot recommend this audio book enough.

ARC Review – Kage by Chelle Rose
This is hands down the best book in the series yet! 🥵🔥 I absolutely loved it. Kage and Firecracker have officially become one of my favorite couples of all time. The revenge, the passion, the intensity—it’s all here, and I was hooked from start to finish.
This book took me on a whirlwind of emotions—I laughed, I got upset, I was happy, I was sad… and I loved every second of it. Chelle Rose knows how to keep readers on their toes!
Raina is the daughter of the enemy—the family who did the unthinkable to a member of Kage (Lorenzo)’s family. Kage is ordered to kill her, but first, he decides he has to taste her. Raina has spent her life being ignored and tossed aside by the men in her family, so she assumes Kage will be no different. But Kage, who swore he’d never fall for a woman like his brothers before him, finds himself drawn to her in ways he never expected. Feelings start to form… until she betrays him. And when she does, something inside Kage breaks.
Chelle, you delivered a completely unexpected and gripping read! I never thought I’d love killers and mafia men but the Bonetti Brothers are in a league of their own. Now I’m impatiently waiting for Psycho’s book!
I received this book as an ARC and am voluntarily leaving this review. 😍🔥

Book 3 in the Bonetti Brothers series is Kage. Kage is a dark story and involves several topics that may be sensitive to some readers so make sure you check trigger warnings before you start reading.
"I’m not afraid of what waits for me after this life, because I was born into hell. It can’t be worse than this."
Raina and all that she goes through completely shattered my heart. She's so much stronger than she realizes and is a survivor in every sense of the word. She FIERCE! She has to be. If she isn't life with swallow her whole.
"Kage, my captor, my tormentor, and the love of my life."
Kage. I'm not sure where to start with him. Much of this book I had a love/hate relationship with him focusing more on the hate. He's a wildcard but in the end love won out. Their journey like Bones Reaper's is one MASSIVE rollercoaster of emotions. You'll feel EVERYTHING with these characters. Again, make sure you check the trigger warnings before you start reading Kage and his Firecrackers story. It's definitely not for the faint of heart.

ARC Review
I absolutely loved this book! After reading *Reaper*, I knew I wanted to dive deeper into this series, and I'm so glad I did. Bones is next on my list—even though it’s the first book, I haven’t gotten to it yet.
Kage and Raina have such a strong, possessive relationship, and their chemistry is off the charts. There were a few moments that genuinely shocked me, but then again, all the Bonetti brothers are unhinged and walk that fine line of consent.
I adore Chelle's writing; she pulls you in with just a few sentences, and before you know it, you’re hooked until the very last page. Once I finished, I found myself thinking, “When’s the next book? I need it now!”
I’m particularly excited for Psycho’s book. I kind of guessed halfway through who his love interest would be, and I can’t wait to learn more about his knife-playing ways! 😉😂
If you love intense relationships and a thrilling plot, *Kage* is a must-read! Just make sure to check out the trigger warnings before diving in.

LOVE THE UNHINGED BONETTI BROTHERS!!
I absolutely loved Kage and Raina’s story!! There's something about an unhinged mafia man and him finding the “one”.
Kage lost his pact with his brother Psycho and found the one woman who makes him fall in love. Raina is from a rival family and becomes his “firecracker”. Their story comes with many ups and downs, the downs can be very difficult to read for some so please check TW before reading!
I was devastated about some parts of this story and what happens to another family member in the Bonetti family but they all overcome in the end despite the hardships and loss.
I also love the added sweetness to the stories since they can be very dark at times.
This is one of my favorite mafia series and I can’t wait for the conclusion in “Psycho”!! I know he’s going to be the most unhinged of all so I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see what is going to happen there!!
If you have little to no triggers, love unhinged mafia men and them falling hard for their women, I highly recommend giving this a read!!

This is one of my favorite mafia series and I can’t wait for the conclusion in “Psycho”!! I know he’s going to be the most unhinged of all so I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see what is going to happen there!!
If you have little to no triggers, love unhinged mafia men and them falling hard for their women, I highly recommend giving this a read!!

Hear me out! This is a dark romance! And she’s freaking dark! You MUST LISTEN to the trigger warnings!!!
Tropes:
Mafia
He falls first
Feisty FMC
Rival families
Enemies to lovers
Touch her and 💀
Possessive MMC
Morally black MMC
I just finished my ALC of this book and as far as audiobooks goes it was great!!!
Narrated in duet by Caden Hart and Savannah Thomas.
Loved both of their voices and emotions put into their character. Would definitely listen to these narrators again.
The story is messed up, let’s not sugar coat that. But knowing how this series has gone and how it’s only getting to the worst of the bothers as it goes, it shouldn’t be a shock what happened.
That aside, I’m here for the Bonetti brothers. While they are dark mafia men and don’t quite know how to show their affections, once they fall, they fall hard and will do anything to protect their women.
Kage lives up to his name. Raina has never had much choice or say in how her life is lived and that doesn’t really ever change. Kage messes up more times than we can count but strives to make it right.

~My Review 🎧~
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶🌶
~Kage~The Bonetti Brothers Book 3~Chelle Rose~
~Duet Narration~Savannah Thomas & Caden Hart~
~Production~Blue Nose Audio~
“I don’t fucking know what love is, but whatever this is, I can’t lose it.”
♡This series has me in its grip & I never want it to let me go! Chelle has a way of writing MMCs that you should hate & then she catches you in her web & by the end you love them & you're left questioning the little morals you thought you still had! This book was dark, brutal, & had me hooked from the prologue!
The duet narration for this book was phenomenal! Savannah did an impeccable job at bringing our lost & already broken FMC Raina to life & gave her a voice while she found her strength. Caden did an amazing job at bringing our cold-blooded, obsessive, & dangerous MMC Kage to life while capturing his unhinged personality perfectly!
This series is not for the faint of heart so please check your triggers before proceeding.♡
~As Always Happy Reading~

Bones was the introduction to the Bonetti brother and it was a whole vibe. Reaper came shortly after and it was impossible not to be hooked.
There are four Bonetti brothers and here we go behind the scenes with Kage. The name itself tells a story of what kind of man he is.
The Bonettis are a ruthless family who are constantly at war in the organized crime world but what seems to keep happening is their weakness for woman.
I’ve enjoyed greatly getting to see these men in action however I’m starting notice a trend that takes a bit a spark away from the story.
There is one brother left who is said to be the biggest flex in the family …he is the unhinged .. he is the sickest and yet I’m afraid he is going to be handed a life much like his brothers with an ending that we’ve seen done before.
The characters are great and the plot is too but the story is starting to sound the same in each one.

ALC Review
Kage
By Chelle Rose
Voice Actors: Savannah Thomas and Cade Hart
Just like with the first two books in this series, I finished this listen within 24 hours of receiving it. I am just hooked on these brothers and I am not shy about it.
Chelle Rose has written another crazy dark mafia romance that I just ate up! I absolutely love her writing and can’t wait to get my hands on
I have seen Savannah Thomas around a bit on IG and TT. I also think I have listened to her once before, but I think I finally have a woman crush on her! She dominated this story and I really enjoyed her as the FMC in this one!
Cade Hart is an absolute new narrator to me. I went into this story without knowing anything about him, what his voice sounds like, or any of his other work. But that is ending today. I will be looking at other things he has done, but I now need more Cade in my earholes!!!
Thank you BNA and Chelle Rose for the ALC for this one!

Holy cow this story was a crazy ride! Check your triggers! This book is dark, fast paced, and full of turning twists. Lorenzo/Kage and Raina/Firecracker are quite the pair with their constant banter and stubborn personalities. It was interesting to see Kage start out as a scary dark soul to needing a one true love to break through his chains around his heart. While Raina, is this beautiful redhead who is high strong, smart mouth, and all things pure/light. Now don’t get wrong, these two put each other through the ringer! Yet in the end they learned to be truthful with each other and realized not everyone is truly dark to their core!
For the audiobook, Caden Hart and Savannah Thomas did an amazing job bringing this story to life. They brought the emotion, chemistry, and authenticity with ease. Caden brought the heat and intensity with his voice. Savannah’s voice was a perfect blend of candy sweet and brat sass! Look forward to listening to these two further!

This book starts off strong! A mafia family has disturbed the Bonetti’s peace and there will be hell to pay!
Kage doesn’t have a heart! Does he?? He is sick and twisted man. Most definitely not a character for the faint of heart. Please read responsibly. ⚠️
The Bonetti women have their moment to shine in this book along with a new firecracker, Raina. The brothers are still in control and each a little more crazy than we thought.
I loved the deep dive into the psyche of each character and all the dark aspects of the brothers. This is a series about four completely unhinged brothers and each one gets darker. Kage is off the charts! Each book gets more graphic and dark and I’m here for it! Again PLEASE check your TW’s.
I know it’s to be expected, with this series, that each gets his own. However, I did feel the end of this book was a little too much HEA, for me personally. 😉
Chelle Rose teases us for what’s to come with the next Bonetti Brother….Psycho!
I can’t wait to meet him!!
I am enjoying the series very much! 🖤
Buckle up this story is a wild ride!

⭐️ — 3.5/5
🌶️ — 4/5
For the love of everything good in the world please read check the trigger warnings because whew. This book might affect your mental health. Anyone who has ever read dark mafia romance will likely expect a lot of the potentially triggering aspects but still….just glance at them.
That being said……WHEW BABY.
Possessive MMC? I’m listening….
Touch her and ☠️? You have my attention……
TALK to her and ☠️? HOLD MY DRINK.
I spent at least half my time reading this book thinking KAGE PLEASE STOP F**KING S**T UP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Spoiler alert he didn’t listen and spends a good chunk of the book yo-yoing between being a total disaster and trying to make up for being a total disaster (we love a self-improvement king ig?).
To be fair…..he falls for the daughter of a rival mafia family…..but that’s AS MUCH SPOILING as you get out of me. 🙂
