ARC REVIEW

Perfect addition to a perfect series.

Story of Vittoria who meets Dmitri at a gala………. And she runs from him, causing an obsession.

Her mother wants her to marry for alliance sakes and Dmitri makes his intentions clear - he WILL have her.

He courts her and she makes it clear she’s not interested until they spend time together and she agrees to a 3 month trial period.

He claims her when another suitor tries to intimidate her into marriage.

It’s a story of slow burning love. Family tragedy and loss. Kidnap and rescue. He falls first. She tries to deny her feelings until she can’t.

It’s a beautiful read and you can’t help falling for both the MMC and the FMC - each perfect in their own way - his obsession and dangerous power, and her strength in grief and knowing how to handle his obsession smartly and kindly.

The amount of spice is also perfect - not too overpowering. The story is passionate and emotional. I felt every word as I read them. Some of it hit home. A genuine pleasure to read.

ARC Review, thx Sherry Blake

This is the fourth book in the Sartori family series, Vittoria's story.
This book, too, is a well-rounded storyline with everything a reader of the dark romance genre could want.
Although it must be said that the focus here isn't on action, but rather on the personal tragedies within the two families—the relationships between the individual members of both the Sartoris and the Baganovs.
Vittoria is tough, but I still think she should have put up a bit more of a fight when Dmitri so abruptly announced their engagement. I enjoyed the chemistry between Vittoria and Dmitri, the banter and the smut, in unusual, unconventional settings. The book has an HEA, but leaving the identity of Smoke, the person sowing chaos between the crime families in Chicago, a mystery. Well done, Sherry Blake; I'm eager to see what happens next with Bruno.
HEA, of course no cheating or sharing
⭐️ 4/5
🌶 3.5/5

Vittoria by Sherry Blake
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 🌶️ bonus 🌶️ the theater scene 😅

First of all Thank you sherry for the ARC i really love your books and i was sure i was going to love vittoria
Fun fact about me i dont like bratva romances i find russians not sexy at all but Miss Sherry just change my perspective i want a Dmitri Baganov like right now 😅😅

Vittoria is a sassy broken girl she struggles with her grief about her dad and brother also i feel she is also griving his brother Bruno even that bruno is not dead. I love how Vittoria grows up with every book
In the beginning when u meet her the first time u might think she is a spoiled princess but she is definitely not she is smart and beautiful
Dmitri
He is a cold soul smart strategist he know what he is doing possesive as fudge and stalker i mean he is a delicious walkintres flag but omg what a red flag 🚩 😅
Build to be the next pakhan no feelings no emotions he just want to do his job and that’s it.
I really love him how he protects her how he knows her because he observe everything i love this mens that observe and knows everything about u that confidence omg i cant with him i really like that the author portrayed his vulnerable part only with her

Spicy
What a spice like hello the theater scene is just marvelous i was half of the scene wtf wtf 😬 the vibrator hello mr baganov what a dirty mind and vittoria she was strong and sassy but dmitri was right she really needs and want to be a submissive i really love the spice on this book.

Overall i love this book and i 100 💯 recommend this not only vittoria if u want the whole experience start with the ferreti syndicate and continue with all the sartori u will not be disappointed

Can wait for Bruno story 😬😬😬😬

- You bought a historic Chicago theater for a date?
- I bought a historic Chicago theater because you said you wanted to go.


Well, may this love find each one of us.

And all the thoughtful gifts given in this book….🫀

First of all, standing ovations for Sherry for actually checking where to put the stand-in russian and italian words to make this book so authentic. As a speaker of both, I am really proud.
We‘ve had them all, rightly placed little „blyad“s, „mudak“ (kudos for even knowing this slang one), „cazzo“ and of course last but not least „solnyshko“.

An arranged marriage between a badass italian mafia princess and an obsessed russian bratva pakhan? Hell yes!

This book really had it all, a possessive stalker MMC, an independent and quirky FMC, lots of family drama (to be exacted given the nationalities), grief and death in the family, a kidnapping, lots of very heavy spice 🌶️

I am really glad I subscribed for this ARC. Even though I haven’t read the previous books in the series, I‘ve been completely sucked in the plot and will definitely read the other ones. Bruno‘s should be really good as well, I definitely wanna hitch a ride on those wheels - if you know what I mean.


- If you keep spoiling me with Japanese food, you're going to regret it.

- Why would I regret it?

- Because I'll want it every single day. Every. Single. Day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. You'll be sick of raw fish within a week.

- Would you be there?

- What?

- Every day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Would you be there with me?

- Dmitri...

- Because if you would be there. I could eat sushi every day for the rest of my life.

SHERRY BLAKE!!!! OMG!!!! This book completely pulled me in—I didn’t want to stop reading. I could feel every single word Sherry Blake wrote—I laughed, I cried, and the suspense had me on edge the whole time. The spice was SPICYYYYY!!!!

Dmitri Baganov seriously stole the show for me. His character had that intense, possessive, slightly dangerous energy that made him impossible to ignore. Vittoria balanced him out perfectly; she wasn’t intimidated and could stand toe-to-toe with him. I really appreciated how she was portrayed—sharp, confident, and capable without crossing into that overly bratty territory some “strong” female leads fall into. She knew exactly when to push back and when to soften, which made her feel authentic.

What I loved most is that the story goes beyond just arranged marriages and political alliances. It really explores deeper emotional themes like grief, loss, and figuring out how to keep going after losing people you care about. Watching Vittoria navigate that, while also helping Dmitri’s family process their own loss, added a lot of depth to the story.

I’d HIGHLEY recommend this one—especially if you haven’t checked out her earlier books yet... you definitely should!!!!

5 “Solnyshko” Stars!!

I really enjoyed this book!!

Dmitri was cold, ruthless, cutthroat and deviant. He stop at nothing to get what he wanted. And from their first encounter, he wanted Vittoria. He secretly stalked her for years. He was obsessed with her and when the opportunity arose, he didn’t hesitate to make her his. These two had chemistry that jumped off the page. They definitely brought the heat. Vittoria was good for him. She brought him calm and peace in a life that was usually filled with chaos and challenges. The way he opened up to her and revealed what she truly meant to him, had me swooning. I loved how he always made sure she had what she wanted and needed at all times. The best part of this book was when these two interacted with each other. How they let their guards down and just let themselves be real in the moment. No pretenses, no guards up, just real and true to how they were feeling. It was beautiful to have a ring side seat to watch them fall in love 🫠🥰.

This book had several layers to it and I enjoyed each one. I highly recommend this book. I have to go back and read Vittoria’s brother’s books. But I think I’m gonna read Bruno’s next. I’m very excited for that one. Vittoria gets two thumbs up from me!!!

Obsessed Is an Understatement!!!

{ARC Review},

I really loved Vittoria. She’s strong, guarded, and clearly shaped by everything she’s been through, burying herself in work just to cope. Watching her get pushed out of that shell was so satisfying.

And Dmitri?? That man is determined. The way he decided she was his and then proceeded to interfere with her other marriage prospects had me stressed and entertained at the same time. He doesn’t chase he calculates and I loved every second of it.

Their dynamic was everything tension, power, and constant back-and-forth. She stands her ground, and he refuses to back down, which made their chemistry even better.

The family added a lot too. The mother was starting to irk me, but I let it slide. And Bruno… yeah, I’m already invested. That wheelchair scene? Vittoria thought she was seeing things no she wasn’t. I know that man is going to walk again, and after that little snippet of his story, I was literally kicking my feet. I NEED his book.

Overall, I definitely recommend reading this to understand the Santori family more.

Great read I’m already waiting for Bruno’s story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yet another fantastic read in the Sartori Syndicate series!

I absolutely love Sherry Blake’s writing style—it’s so smooth, engaging, and easy to get lost in from the very first page.

Vittoria is such a refreshing FMC. She’s not your typical mafia princess—she’s intelligent, independent, and plays a vital role within her family. There’s also a quiet sadness to her; she feels isolated and a little lost at times, retreating into her coding and managing the family’s security as a way to cope.

Dmitri, on the other hand, is exactly what you’d expect from a Pakhan-in-waiting—stoic, stubborn, fiercely protective, and just the right amount of over-the-top possessive. But what I loved most is how completely smitten he is with Vittoria. Their banter is brilliant, and watching their relationship develop was an absolute highlight.

One of my favourite aspects of this series continues to be the strong family element—it plays such a central and essential role in the story and really adds depth to the world.

I’m already excited for Bruno’s story—can’t wait!

Thank you for the ARC—this is my honest review

Thanks Sherry Blake for the Arc.

I think most of us ended up reading the beginning of the next book first. I did..🙈🙈 and I think he will become my favorite character.

But back to this story.
Through the previous books we got to know Vittoria as one of the strong character. But as some secrets were revealed, her armor with which she protected herself began to slowly crack. She is just a young girl, a sister and a daughter, who has been deeply affected by all the betrayals. But who stubbornly wants to hide it from her family.
Dimitri is the future Pahkan, a man who has been molded his entire life to become a leader, to be ruthless, but fair. And on that path, he has lost himself. He is only himself when he is next to her, and only she sees the real him.
Sadness and grief are what unite them.

This book is a little different from the previous ones. This is more of a drama, it's more about how to deal with betrayal, grief and family problems.

And now I'm eagerly awaiting the next book.
And of course, I recommend this to all my friends.

Out of all the Sherry Blake books I've read, this is my favourite so far!

When I say that I couldn't put it down, I mean I ate, slept, and dreamt about this book.

Vittoria is a tech genius, the youngest sibling in the Sartori Mafia, and the only daughter. Dmitri is the Heir to the Russian Bratva and has wanted Vittoria ever since he laid his eyes on her. Her family needs an alliance by marriage, and Dmitri takes it as his opportunity, but Vittoria makes him work for it.

You can feel the chemistry between the characters, and the spice is definitely spicing.

The writing is so good; it pulls you into the story, which is why I went to work tired from staying up way too late reading. I have no regrets.

Another 5-star read for me. I highly recommend it if you love

I absolutely loved this book! From the very beginning, Vittoria stood out as such a refreshing FMC. She’s brilliant, independent, and unapologetically herself. A tech genius who handles security for her family. I loved how she always held her own, especially with her quick wit and strong backbone.

Dimitri is top-tier book boyfriend material. The way he already knows everything about Vittoria before she even realizes what’s happening adds such a delicious layer of tension. He buys a whole theater just because she mentioned it once! He’s possessive in that intense, all consuming way, but still worships Vittoria like she’s his entire world.

The chemistry between them is undeniable, and the balance between plot and spice was perfect, just enough heat to keep things exciting without overshadowing the story.

Overall, this was such an engaging and I couldn’t put it down!

I received an ARC of this book, for which I am truly grateful.

I haven't read anything by this author before, including the previous books about Vittoria’s brothers, but that didn't stop me from following the story. On the contrary, it made me curious about their stories, and I plan to read them as well.

I really enjoyed the book, especially Dmitry’s character—how driven and focused he was on wanting Vittoria, letting nothing and no one stand in his way. My only personal critique is that I missed having a few more moments between the main characters, and I wished we had more time to see them as a married couple. I’m sure that would have been very interesting to read.

I was also very intrigued by the setup for Bruno’s story at the end. I can already feel my excitement for his book. I truly can’t wait!

This year I have set a goal to read books mostly by new authors for me and Vittoria by Sherry Blake is exactly that. This is my first book by the author and I am delighted to say the least. It was selected for ARC but due to personal reasons I unfortunately was not able to read it before the release, for which I apologize to the author. Now I have managed to finish it and I want to recommend it to you. The book is part of the Sartori Family, it can be read as a standalone, but still if you want to get to know the other characters ( also recommended ) and complete the mystery it is good to read the others as well, which I will do now 😁 Lots of hot moments between the main characters and quite emotional. I'll recommend it but please start with book one Pietro, not like me 😁

✅No cheating
✅ Stalking
✅ Possessive MMC

Dimitri and Vittoria

I enjoyed this book and thought Vittoria was a great addition. I love reading mafia romances particularly series books and as part of the Feretti series I would enjoy seeing more of the previous characters in these books that’s why I prefer series books to stand-alone stories and being immersed in a whole universe of amazing characters. This is just a preference and doesn’t take away the fact that this is a great read and I enjoyed both Vittoria and Dimitri the addition of Amanda as Vittoria’s best friend was a nice touch and I enjoyed the humor she added to book . I will definitely be checking out Bruno’s book soon

I loved how strong Vittoria Satori was, at the same time she was just as vulnerable. Dimitri Baganov did not for one instance think of any other outcome than Vittoria becoming his, regardless of the price to be paid. Both of these families carried deeply personal secrets that influenced their level of trust in loving another, but this well written and anticipated book had all the feels. Despite the family drama and danger surrounding Vittoria and Dimitri their romance burned red hot in this satisfying read. Thanks to the author for the opportunity to read and review her work.

"She's worth fighting for, but only if you're willing to fight dirty."

I was so excited for Vitorria's story and I'm glad she found a good man in Dmitri. Vittoria is a strong, decently written character, but I wanted more. A lot of new characters were introduced in this story and I just felt like they could have been flushed out more. Dmitri's pain and grief was written in a way that had me grieving alongside him.

However, I found the story to be a little predictable in places and the big conflict didn't feel resolved. It seems as though both families just accepted that they didn't have more information. That doesn't feel very Don/Pakhan of them.

Vittoria is a fantastic story. I loved reading about Vittoria in all the Feretti Syndicate Books. I feel like Vittoria has been the heart of the family. Dmitri has been keeping an eye on Vittoria since the gala, where Vittoria ran away from Dmitri after meeting. It's a wonderful storyline full of excitement and danger. It's so steamy and sexy. It's hard not to get totally engrossed in the story. I pretty much read it straight through. You will want to read all about Dmitri and Vittoria today!

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sherry Blake never misses! I loved Vittoria! The FMC Vittoria and MMC Dmitri were perfect. I loved the insta attraction from Dmitri. I loved his character. Yearning was on point! You still get plenty of scenes with the family members and i loved that. I’ve been loving the entire series so I’m not surprised that i loved this book. Character development was amazing and the plot building was equally as amazing. The spice to plot ratio was great. The plot itself was addictive and enjoyable and entertaining. Sherry does well with mafia trope! I’m very much looking forward to Bruno’s story.

A good read

This just may be my first review out of all the other books I’ve read in this series. Dimitri and Vittoria was fire together. I loved reading their story. This book could easily been five stars but the ending was like a cliffhanger and no second books. Who is Smoke? What’s happened with him?

Vittoria

The Russian, Bratva, soon to be the head of the Bratva after his father dies, six months at the most, meets Vittoria at a Gala, thats all it took, he was infatuated with her the moment he kissed her hand and she ran away, that was different, now in stalker mode.
Excellent Plot, plain speaking, no lies. Happy ending.

Full disclosure I have come to this series late and didn't realise it was the fourth book when I started. That said while it isn't a standalone the author got you up to speed very quickly. I now need to read the others and find out exactly what the dastardly Riccardo and his father were up to though and also the other couples that feature.
Dmitri is our morally grey hero in this book who falls first and hard. His full on stalking and his possessive touch her and die vibes are as hot as hell 🔥 🥵
Vittoria is still in her grieving period for members of her family and is struggling to move on due to a lot of secrets weighing her down. I think this book looks at grieving from a few different perspectives without straying from a hot mafia romance. I raced through this book it was non stop possessive mafia heaven!
