INDELIBLE: Mafia Enemies to Lovers Romance
DON'T if you don't like a strong mafia plot with a pitch-black Underboss
Although part of the Serendipity Universe, it can be read as a standalone
"There’s no greater story than bearing the mark of an untold love story."
Sometimes a monster is created by the blood that binds him,
Sometimes a king is created by the queen who worships him,
Sometimes a lover is created by the heart that saves him,
Sometimes a man just wants to be a man.
My name is Remo Rossi,
I take, I kill, I dominate,
I don't negotiate, I don't feel, I don't love,
If I like, I fuck it.
Until them,
One saves lives while the other destroys them,
One rides me like she owns my soul while the other bends to my will,
Once I mark them, they're mine,
Only that's what my morally black heart assumed,
Because together, they teach me a lesson in love I never saw coming.
TW: Please note the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book

Morally Corrupt. Obsessively Devoted. This Isn’t Love—It’s Possession.” 🔥
Indelible doesn’t flirt with darkness it drowns in it!!!
The author delivers a story that is raw, brutal and completely unapologetic. This is a world where power is taken, not given… where loyalty is carved in blood… and where love is something far more dangerous than either.
Remo Rossi? is not a hero.
He’s the villain people warn you about.
Ruthless. Calculated. Untouchable.
A man who doesn’t hesitate. Doesn’t regret. Doesn’t feel—until her.
When it comes to Ishika, something in him fractures.
Not into softness… but into something far more terrifying.
Obsession.
He doesn’t want her heart.
He wants her completely. Her trust. Her defiance. Her surrender.
And the way he takes control? It’s not gentle. It’s not safe. It’s a dark, intoxicating dance of power where the CNC edge lingers beneath every moment, unchallenged, understood and chosen in ways that make every interaction feel dangerous and addictive.
There are no clean lines between resistance and desire here, only tension that snaps, reforms and tightens until it’s impossible to tell where control ends and need begins.
But Ishika… she doesn’t shatter.
She meets Remo in the dark.
She fights. She provokes. She refuses to be anything less than his equal, even when the cost is everything.
And that’s what makes this so explosive… because she doesn’t just survive his darkness, she pulls him deeper into it.
As for Remo?He unravels.
Not into redemption.
But into something more volatile. More possessive. More unhinged.
Because once he decides she’s his…
There is no escape. No compromise. No mercy for anyone who threatens what he’s claimed.
Not even himself.
And beneath all that brutality lies something that hits even harder—
The bond between Ishika and Korõ
Fierce. Selfless. Unbreakable.
A love built on sacrifice, where Korõ would walk away from her own desires because she knows the truth before anyone else does.
This isn’t romance.
This is obsession sharpened into something lethal.
This is devotion twisted into possession.
This is a love that doesn’t save you…it ruins you.
And that ending?
You won’t just gasp.
You’ll be screaming for the next book.
This is for readers who don’t want sweet.
Who don’t want safe.
Who want to feel every dark, dangerous moment.
And you will love every second of it.
✨ And Charlene Namdhari proves herself to be an absolute force—her writing is bold, fearless and utterly mind-blowing, crafting a story so powerful it doesn’t just capture your attention… it owns it.

I was eagerly awaiting this book as I love the previous books in the Serendipity series by Charlene. The reader is introduced to Remo in Infallible but once I started reading this book I soon realised what a complex character Charlene has created. I loved this book from the first chapter and again became totally immersed in the Mafia world of Lorenzo and his younger brother Remo. Remo takes centre stage and is a character that is easy to hate but also easy to love which is what the two? main female characters soon realised. This is the first book of a duet and Charlene has artfully created a climax at the end that leaves you desperate for the release of Book 2( due mid April I think so not too long to wait.
I can totally recommend the whole Serendipity series to anyone who likes strong male and feisty female characters brought together within book plots that have so many twists and turns that keep you reading through the night to finish them

This book was incredibly hot; I couldn't put it down. Remo is a demon in a suit, and I absolutely loved it. Everything in this book makes you feel 🥵❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Indelible by Charlene Namdhari plunges readers into the turbulent mind of Remo Rossi, a man haunted by a tumultuous relationship with his mother. From the very first page, his world erupts in violence and bloodshed. This book offers a gripping dive into the depths of a crazy man who loves blood and sex, caught between two women whose influences could either save him or plunge him deeper into darkness. Indelible is a dark, provocative exploration of trauma and obsession. Remo Rossi is a character you'll carry with you long after the final page; his journey through violence, love, and self-discovery is an intense and unforgettable ride. Charlene masterfully unpacks the complexities of his mind, weaving dark themes, unexpected twists, and a shocking cliffhanger.
Note: the relationship between Lorenzo and Remo is 🤌👍

Huge cliffhanger!
This was such a riveting, keep you on the edge of your seat story!! I was a little shocked by how vile Remo could be until I got further into the story and realized everything he went through as a kid made him that way. There are so many twists and turns in this story that made it hard for me to figure out what was really going on with Ishika and her sister. There’s a big secret that I was no where near solving and am in dire need of the next book. I didn’t realize this was going to end on a cliffhanger until I started reading, so I’m a little mad that I have to wait to get answers. I mean, that ending was INTENSE! This story is well written, just like all of this author’s books are. It’s also a fairly long book so be prepared to stay up to the wee hours reading until you can’t keep your eyes open. This is another 5 star read for me.

Indelible doesn’t ease you in, it grips, tightens, and refuses to let go. This is a story that lives in the uneasy space between possession and obsession, where control isn’t just power, it’s identity, and losing it could mean everything.
At the center is Remo, a man who doesn’t explain himself because he doesn’t need to. He doesn’t love in any conventional sense. He takes, he owns, he consumes. There’s something chilling in that certainty, in the way he moves through the world as if morality is optional. And yet… he’s impossible to look away from. You don’t excuse him, but you watch him, caught in the same pull that defines his character.
Koro stands as a counterbalance. She is sharp, driven, and relentless in her own mission to dismantle the mafias that have crossed unforgivable lines. Her restraint when it comes to Remo adds tension, as if even she recognizes something in him that doesn’t fit neatly into her war.
Then there’s Ishika, the moral anchor of the story. A doctor, grounded in empathy and logic, she should be everything Remo isn’t. And that’s exactly why their dynamic works. Her struggle feels real; her disgust is a hundred percent justified. When Remo pushes, bends, and tests her limits, the cracks in her resistance become as compelling as they are unsettling. Watching her navigate a world she never chose, caught in a web of power plays and hidden agendas, is where the story tightens its grip the most.
Ajay adds yet another layer; he is volatile, pride-driven, and dangerous in a way that feels all too human. His refusal to accept rejection fuels a looming conflict that threatens to erupt into something far bloodier than anyone anticipates.
What makes Indelible stand out is its refusal to soften its edges. The characters don’t suddenly become redeemable. They remain true to their nature, even when it makes them difficult, sometimes impossible to like. And that’s the point. This is a narrative built on contradictions, hatred tangled with attraction, violence laced with desire, control blurring into vulnerability.
The plot is heavy with deception, shifting loyalties, and underlying tensions that keep you constantly off balance. Just when you think you understand the game, the rules change. It’s intense, often uncomfortable, and absolutely not for the faint-hearted………those trigger warnings are there for a reason!
And still, somewhere in the chaos, something softer begins to take shape. Not a clean, easy love, but something fractured, raw, and hard-won.
Indelible is the kind of book that dares you to cross a line and then makes you question why you did. And Remo? He’s not a hero, not even close. But against all logic, you might find yourself wanting him to win anyway. This book is jammed packed with action, the plot is layered, so keep your wits about you, and it ends on a cliffhanger. Kudos to the author, I don’t think I have ever read a villain like Remo before, he certainly is unhinged, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

before i start this review i will say pay attention to the trigger warnings at the start, this book wont be for everyone,
i really enjoyed it, while the character are not quite as likeable as pervious books, you still find yourself drawn into their stories, in a way Charlene Namdhari can make happen,
remo is a cold alpha male who takes what he wants when he wants, as the story develops and you learn more about his past and he makes more sense,
there are so many unanswered questions including a cliff hanger ending
i cant wait for the next book and to learn more of Korõ story
while i like Ishika i don't feel i have warmed to her yet so will be interesting to see what happens in the next book,
as always with charlene's book expect twists, turns and dark intense scenes

Ruthless
I usually love Charlene's books. This one made me very uncomfortable. The main male character Remo has had a rough childhood and it effects his life. However I felt rather disgusted by him in some scenes. I know there are warnings etc. They story was solid and it was well written. Read it for yourself
