This was the conclusion to the series, although it seems the author has written books for some of the side characters. This book covered betrayal against the Gambino family, Dante becoming Don of the Gambino family, and how Don Dante doled out deadly consequences to said betrayal. There wasn't much action and I was left feeling that this book could have been great if the author just gave a little bit more. Ah well, Dante was a master manipulator and I liked how he put all of the players in place for the ultimate coup de grace.

Such a surprise this trilogy for me was,Boss: A Mafia Romance did not disappoint,it has great love story,lots of drama,great second characters and ones you start reading you can t put it down.I pick up first book in trilogy and didn't have very high expectation maybe this is conclusion of many DNF this previous weeks and books with 3 star,but in end i enjoyed so much in this trilogy.Book 3 doesn't have steamy and HOT scenes between H/h so if you expect that you will not find in this book.
Overall this trilogy was page turner,fast read,i will loved to see epilogue to be placed few years later ,to see Gia and Dante with kids but author is writing novelas for others members of family so i m sure will have more scene with Dante and Gia.
"I promise that I'll never leave you, Gia. Even if they take me away I'll always be back. You can count on that."

OMG What a Shocker
I think this is the best book author Liliana Rhodes has ever written. This is the final in a trilogy; please read all 3 in order to get the full impact. I said in my review of book 2 that this trilogy reminds me of the Godfather movies. Still somewhat true. Dante loves his woman so much he will do absolutely anything to protect her. He is ruthless in his deep devotion. Gia is his Angel. She loves Dante completely. But she sees only him, seeming to have blinders on regarding the ugliness of Mafia life. I am amazed at how well the author pulls off the character of Gia, the mob Boss fiance. She could not be more perfect for Dante. The story has a great twist and dramatic end. It was a shocker for me! Great job Ms. Rhodes.

February 9, 2017It was a good series. I'd say this book was the best out of the three. And as I said before they were all pretty easy reads, but entertaining.

The final story in the
Made Man trilogy
, Boss takes Gia and Dante's story and delivers above and beyond my wildest expectations!
With emotional impact, high adventure, drama and sensuality, Liliana Rhodes' Mafia Romance series kept me on the edge of my seat from the very first story. I loved the complex character driven storyline, unexpected twist and turns, full complement of supporting characters and exceptional writing quality.
If you love strong Alpha males and women who will do anything for their man, this series is the one you've been searching for!

This is for the whole trilogy - Soldier, Capo, and Boss - Made Man series
I loved this trilogy! Dante and Gia are so awesome together! He loves her so much and would do anything for her, even falling back into his family in order to protect her. They meet first while he is a soldier for the family, then in order to keep protecting her he becomes the Capo when his Capo is killed. Last but not least he becomes the Boss as he is the oldest son, after his father is murdered in his sleep. Gia is still threatened and he has to take the reigns of the family to restore order! These are a short read, but they kept me turning the pages!! The love Dante and Gia have found for each other will have your heart melting!

I loved Dante from the minute we were introduced to him in this series. He might be a tough mafia Boss, but he is also a man. A man who loves Gia, his Angel, his other half with all that he is. He'll do anything to protect her and the rest of his family.
Of course there's some suspense, but nothing major. I did expect a little more to happen regarding the threat to Gia's life and the problem with the other mafia family, but it was handled quickly. For the most part we were able to sit back and watch Dante and Gia finally become husband and wife. So sweet!
Now we get to look forward to additional novellas about Dante's brothers. The first will be Sonny's story. Can't wait.

I am giving this review for author Liliana Rhodes. This is part 3 of the Man Made novella series by the author.
Gia is trying to plan her wedding to Dante but with not being able to leave the house she is getting frustrated. Dante is still trying to find out who killed his father and now with the threat still against Gia he is doing whatever he can to try and keep her safe.
This story characters work so well together and you can even feel the tension between a few of them. The author has a very good flow in the story which I just love.
This is a mafia romance read and if you like stories like the Godfather then this is for you and your library.

Outstanding!!!!!
Outstanding!!!!!
This have been an amazing series which each character seem real. I was hooked from the very first beginning with the drama as well as the sadness in Gia life. The writer have a unique writing profile that displayed the life of two different people from two different life style along with challenges and severe struggles to make their relationship work. I would recommend this series to everyone looking for an amazing story. I am looking forward to reading the story about Sonny.

WOW! What an amazing ride. I really never thought I would have a book boyfriend that is a Mafia boss so not really a good guy but I do now and Dante is incredible. Gia and Dante are planning their wedding while Dante is focusing on protecting Gia since a rival family has threatened her. To his shock and dismay someone does get to her while on his watch. From here the twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat. I won't say anymore since I don't want to give any of the great revelations away – grab a copy and find out! I truly loved being a part of Dante and Gia's world.

A great ending for the Made Man trilogy. This book had me hooked from the first paragraph to the last. A fantastic love story between Dante and Gia, with their wedding date finally upon them, Dante does what he has to do to keep Gia safe and protect the family. An enemy, who turns out to be a friend and I can honestly say that there was not a lull or boring part of this entire trilogy. Anyone looking for a darn good read that will keep your attention and make you rush to get the next book it is this one. This trilogy is flat out one of the best series I have read.

Engaging, Riveting, and action packed
Perfect ending to the trilogy. You have Love, Hate, Betrayal, and Jail, Weddings, Explosions and more Love in this fine book. Could not put down once started to read. While Gia’s trying to plan their wedding, Dante’s trying to secure his family’s safety. After Dante’s fathers murder he has to send a message to the other family’s that will stick and let them all know not to mess with him and his he loves. I was given a copy by the author for an honest review

Disappointing read. I thought this would be a good series but so much was left out and the details were so boring it made the story dull. You don't get to see Dante in action as a boss, all you get is boring mess that meant nothing to the story. Why was she so connected to Vic; I really didn't get. He was barley mentioned in the story so why make him out to be some friend? Just not as good as other stories by the author.

This is the final book in the series and it wasn't a disappointment. The series has had me hooked from the start and it has kept getting better and better. I loved this book and unlike some you didn't know who was the enemy (I kept guessing then changing my mind). The end was lovely as well I just loved Dante. I would 100% recommend this series
September 12, 2014
Loved this book. Great ending for series with a big surprise at the end that was fantastic. I received this book as a gift for an honest review. I loved all three books, but this was my favorite. If you haven't read these three books, you're missing a great read. Would like to follow this couple for a while, and would like to know what fallout occurred with the other families. Patsy Sacco

The overall storyline was not bad. I think it could have been better if each of the books had been longer. I liked how it had both pov's. In some ways the story left me hanging. I liked how Gia was not your particular model size but yet she managed to capture Dante's heart right away. Looking forward to reading books on the other members of the family

I didn't care for the style of writing and lack of depth. The characters lacked strong development. Many characters made an appearance in the plot of the story when it could have been more. There was no true romance or adventure. The story seemed geared toward young naive readers and not adult women. This series had potential that the author apparently didn't know how to capitalize on.

This is the THIRD and final book. So please read the previous two first. Who doesn't want to protect the people they love? Dante is torn between being the Boss and protecting the woman he loves. This book includes action that keeps you reading!

An amazing end to a great series, i have to admit I hope i see more of Gia and Dante i love them. I want more. I really enjoyed the flow of the book and the characters. It kept me turning the pages and I laughed, cried and was in suspense but in the end i really enjoyed it.

More action
I'm pleased to say this last book had more action but still held on to all the romance, my only disappointment with this series was no really hot sex scenes, I mean you have a hot wise guy and a sweet almost nun....u gotta get some hotter sex!!

Good conclusion
Boy when Dante wants to make a statement, he goes all out making sure everyone understands. The other "families" see Gia as a weakness but Dante will do anything to keep her safe. They all learn that the hard way.

Love love Dante story ..again liliana thank you
September 23, 2014
I love the way the story started out but after reading the ending it felt as if there could have been more. It felt rushed after everything the couple went through. Disappointed.
November 2, 2014
The story has a great storyline, but I felt it was still missing something. I had a difficult time getting into it.
November 12, 2014
Very good! I will be looking for more books by this author. I enjoyed this series and will look forward to the next books about the brother and sister!
