She delivered flowers to his war and left as his obsession.

Sienna only wants to keep her flower shop alive. One late-night delivery is supposed to mean rent money, not blood on the floor, armed men in the shadows, and a mafia don deciding she’s the one thing he refuses to let go.

Dominic has spent twenty years turning himself into a weapon. Cold, controlled, and driven by revenge, he knows what to do with enemies, witnesses, and liabilities. Then Sienna walks into his war, terrified and defiant, and his need to protect her twists into something darker than mercy.

What starts as captivity becomes a dangerous intimacy, shaped by fear, heat, and the brutal weight of choice. Sienna fights to hold onto herself while Dominic tries to keep her alive through control, possession, and devotion that could ruin them both.

As the threat closes in, Sienna becomes more than Dominic’s weakness. She’s the part of him that still feels, the risk he can’t calculate away, and the person who forces him to face what revenge has already taken.

Sienna grows from a frightened witness into a woman who understands the danger around her, protects her sense of self, and chooses desire without pretending the power imbalance isn’t real. Dominic starts as a grief-driven man who confuses control with protection, but loving Sienna pushes him to confront how possession, secrecy, and revenge shaped him. Their relationship evolves from fear and obsessive attraction into a dark, high-heat bond where protection and ownership blur, and honesty starts to matter as much as desire.

A dark, ultra-steamy mafia romance about captivity, forced proximity, obsession, and morally gray love. It’s about surviving the cost of possession, learning where protection becomes control, and finding trust in a world where desire, danger, trauma, revenge, and tenderness tangle together.

The Elevator Pitch: A struggling florist opens the wrong door and steps into a world built on blood, loyalty, and revenge. The ruthless don who should silence her instead claims her, turning protection into possession as his enemies close in. Between fear, desire, and the wreckage of both their lives, she becomes the one weakness a man like him was never supposed to have.

Heat Level: 🔥🔥🔥 Ultra-Steamy / Erotic Romance

Sienna, a struggling florist, accidentally witnesses a brutal mafia scene and is immediately claimed by Dominic Costa, a ruthless Don. Her old life is erased as she is pulled into his world, where protection and control blur together. As enemies close in, their connection grows in a dangerous and complicated way.

This book started strong and had a lot of potential, but overall it felt more average than I expected. The premise is gripping and the first chapters really pull you in with tension and danger. However, as the story progresses, it becomes quite repetitive, especially in the relationship dynamic and intimate scenes. I found myself wanting more plot development and less focus on the same patterns repeating. The characters are interesting, but they are not explored as deeply as they could have been. There are also some confusing timeline elements that took me out of the story. It is not a bad read, just not a particularly memorable one. Overall, I would rate it around three stars.

Repetitive and annoying.
First meet humid summer night a few days later she's wearing a green wool coat against the cold Chicago winds.
Confusing and boring. No real background about both Mafia, Costa and Bellanti.
Repetitive sex scenes and too many.
Really hard to finish
Won't be reading the rest.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

I’ve read a lot of Mafia books 📚 this one had too much sexy time and not enough story. I nearly decided not to finish the book 📖 but persevered hoping it would improve. 🥲
I will read the next book in the series but if it’s of the same vein I will not read the rest. Disappointed

This book sounded interesting. Well, it wasn't. It had zero substance, and I disliked it immensely. I do not recommend.

Some bad days involve spilled coffee or missed deadlines.
Sienna’s?

She opened the wrong door… and walked straight into a massacre.

Revenge of the Mafia Don by Rica Lane wastes absolutely no time pulling you into a dark, dangerous world where one wrong step doesn’t just change your life—it erases it.

Sienna Marchetti is just trying to survive. Pay her bills. Keep her little florist business afloat. Stay invisible.

Until one late-night delivery drops her into the middle of a brutal mafia interrogation.

And the man holding the knife?

Dominic Costa.

Cold. Calculated. Ruthless.

A man who doesn’t hesitate. Doesn’t explain. Doesn’t forgive.

And yet… when guns are raised and her fate is seconds from being sealed, he gives one command:

“Mine.”

✨ Tropes you’ll love:

Dark mafia romance 🖤
Captive / forced proximity
Possessive, obsessive Don energy 🔥
“Touch her and die” vibes
Innocent heroine × dangerous anti-hero
High-stakes revenge plot

From that moment on, Sienna’s life is no longer her own. Her past? Gone. Her freedom? Gone. Her future? Tied to a man who should terrify her… and yet becomes impossible to look away from.

Dominic is not a softened hero. Not even close.

He’s a man built on vengeance, carrying the weight of past betrayals and unfinished wars. His instincts are sharp, his control absolute—and his version of protection? It comes wrapped in steel walls and dangerous obsession.

And that’s what makes this story so compelling.

Because he doesn’t change overnight.

He fractures.

Watching Dominic struggle between the man he’s always been and the one Sienna somehow pulls to the surface creates this constant tension that keeps you hooked. His possessiveness isn’t polished—it’s raw, messy, and sometimes unsettling… but it’s also what drives the emotional core of the story.

And Sienna?

She’s the heart of it all.

She doesn’t just exist in his world—she sees him. Past the violence. Past the reputation. Past the walls he’s built so carefully over years of blood and loyalty. She challenges him simply by refusing to disappear inside his shadow.

Their connection isn’t easy. It’s sharp-edged, intense, and layered with danger—but it works because it never feels one-sided. She may be his captive… but she becomes something far more powerful:

His weakness.
His anchor.
The one thing he can’t control.

The pacing is fast, the tension is constant, and the emotional moments—especially the quieter ones where Dominic lets pieces of himself show—hit harder than expected.

And even when the main conflict pauses, the looming presence of rival families and past betrayals keeps the stakes high, setting the stage for what’s coming next in the Costa saga.

This isn’t a soft romance. It’s not meant to be.

It’s dark, intense, and full of sharp turns—but underneath it all, there’s a story about a man who never thought he’d feel anything again… and the woman who makes him risk everything anyway.

If you love mafia romances with real edge, complicated characters, and tension that never lets up, Revenge of the Mafia Don is a gripping, emotional ride you won’t want to put down.

If you spent any time with the Broken Halos MC series, you’ll clock the Costa immediately—the Costas don’t exactly do subtle entrances. This spin-off wastes no time bringing them back into the spotlight, kicking things off with Dominic Costa, the Don. And honestly? He arrives carrying every ounce of unfinished business from the last series. We pick up with the Costa brothers regrouping in Chicago after Lucia’s near-catastrophic betrayal almost burned their empire to the ground. The story threads that were left dangling before are woven back in smoothly, and after a quick refresher, things escalate fast. Enter Sienna Marchetti: florist and the unluckiest woman alive when she walks straight into a Costa interrogation during a late-night delivery. Classic wrong place, wrong time… except instead of ending up in concrete shoes, she becomes something far more dangerous—a captive who matters. And that’s where things get interesting. Dominic, a man who has spent two decades as a calculated, ruthless force driven by vengeance against the Bellanti family, takes one look at Sienna and—boom—something shifts. Not softens exactly, but rewires. The same man who wouldn’t blink before burying an enemy suddenly can’t think past keeping Sienna close. It almost reads like the setup to a rom-com… except the tension here is razor-sharp and the danger never lets up. That said, his brand of protection comes with a familiar edge. The possessiveness, the obsession that echoes how he treated Lucia, and if you’re paying attention, you might find yourself wondering whether he’s really learned anything at all. Ironically, by taking Sienna, he’s the one who paints a target on her back. Dominic might be playing the long game for revenge, but emotionally? He’s still a man at war with himself. What makes this dynamic work is Sienna. She doesn’t just survive Dominic, she sees him. Past the walls, past the violence, past the reputation. She accepts the whole complicated package, flaws and all, and in doing so becomes both his greatest vulnerability and his unexpected anchor. It’s that balance that gives their relationship its bite. And yes, Dominic does evolve… just don’t expect miracles overnight. The old instincts are still there, surfacing when it counts. But the real standout moments are the quiet ones when he lets his guard down, shares pieces of his past, and confronts the weight of his choices. That moment when he finally calls Lucia after a year of silence? Genuinely powerful. No explosions, no bloodshed, just emotional payoff done right. Even without the Bellantis physically stepping onto the page, their presence looms large, threading tension through everything and clearly setting up what’s to come. For now, though, the focus stays tight: Sienna, Dominic, and a family trying to hold it together while Matteo’s story waits just around the corner. Dark and intense, with surprising moments of tenderness in places, this is a strong, character-driven bridge into the next chapter of the Costa saga.

Revenge Of The Mafia Don by Rica Lane is the first title in the new Costa Vendetta series and it was a great read.
Being familiar with the previous Broken Halos MC series where the Costa family was the enemy of the Gunnar biker family, I think I was a little conditioned to dislike the Costas so was slightly concerned that I may not enjoy this story having some negative preconceptions about the Costas. Thankfully I was wrong.
The lengthy prologue was appreciated in that it set the scene and gave some background into the history and motives behind Dominic Costa's feelings and actions and set me on the course to feel invested in his journey.
As a steamy instalove, age gap, forced proximity, OTT alpha, mafia romance it hit the spot and had me hooked quickly especially with the engaging main characters of Dominic Costa and Sienna Marchetti.
Dominic is older and the Don of the Costa family who have recently relocated to Chicago from Pine Valley to plan the downfall of another mafia family responsible for the death of his parents some twenty years ago.
Dominic is all ruthlessness and dominance and is completely captivated at first sight by the curvy younger florist Sienna who walks in on some lethal family business. Sienna is a liability to the Costas but Dominic's instant primal and possessive reaction is to claim and protect her.
In essence Sienna is kidnapped and her life before Dom erased to keep her safe but her refusal to immediately submit sees Dom systematically try to win her over and as a result Sienna and the reader sees a new side to the Don where he shows feelings of guilt, love and vulnerability.
The steam, spice and chemistry between Dom and Sienna was scorching and I was easily turning the pages to see how their HEA comes about.
Definitely a great start to the new series and I look forward to the next story.

"Revenge of the Mafia Don" by Rica Lane is a gripping start to the Costa Vendetta series, drawing readers into a world where danger and passion collide. The story wastes no time plunging the reader into high-stakes drama as Sienna Marchetti, an ordinary florist, accidentally becomes entangled in a violent mafia confrontation. Lane does an excellent job building tension from the first page, and Sienna’s transformation from a hardworking woman just trying to get by, to the unwilling captive of Dominic Costa, is both believable and compelling. The author’s portrayal of Dominic as a ruthless, enigmatic figure with a possessive streak keeps readers guessing about his true intentions, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative.

What truly stands out in this novel is the dynamic between Sienna and Dominic. Lane crafts their relationship with nuance, balancing fear, vulnerability, and simmering attraction. The tension between the two is palpable, and Sienna’s struggle to maintain her sense of self in the face of overwhelming circumstances makes her a sympathetic heroine. The writing is sharp and immersive, painting vivid scenes and evoking strong emotions. For fans of dark romance and mafia drama, "Revenge of the Mafia Don" promises an intense, page-turning experience that will leave you eager for the next installment in the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Revenge of the Mafia Don by Revenge of the Mafia Don — Rica Lane 🌹🔪🖤

This book was dark, addictive, and absolutely packed with tension from start to finish! The moment Sienna accidentally witnesses the bloodbath, I was completely hooked. 😳🔥

Dominic Costa is everything you want in a mafia antihero — ruthless, possessive, dangerous, and completely obsessed once he decides Sienna belongs to him. The single word “Mine” changed the entire course of the story, and honestly? The intensity never let up after that. 🖤🔥

I loved the contrast between them. Sienna is soft-hearted and struggling to survive, while Dominic lives in a violent world ruled by power and revenge. Watching her get pulled deeper into his dangerous life while still holding onto her own strength made the romance even more compelling. 🌹

The forced proximity and captive tension were done so well. Every interaction carried this mix of fear, attraction, emotional vulnerability, and explosive chemistry. Dominic may claim he’s protecting her, but the real danger might just be how completely obsessed he becomes. 😮‍💨

And underneath all the darkness, there’s this emotional thread where both characters slowly become each other’s weakness. That made the story hit even harder.

After reading the MC series, I honestly didn't know if I would enjoy the new one, starting with Dominic Costa, after what he did to Lucia in the final book of the last series. But as they say, you should never judge a book by its cover, and that is exactly how I found: I liked Dominic in his own way.

His past has shaped him; it's made him rein in his feelings, and he has become the monster he needed to be to protect his family, and that is what he has done over the years. He's not perfect; he has his flaws, he has made and will make mistakes, and some mistakes weigh more heavily than others.

When Sienna comes into his line of sight, the game is over. She is his, she just doesn't know it, but she will! She is a witness, one that should be taken care of, and Dominic will, just not in the way that Fabio wants!! Sienna may try to fight his demanding way, but the attraction is too strong. With the war with the Bellanti family ongoing, Dom needs Sienna to understand that he is doing it all for her protection.

The start to the new series is fast-paced and steamy, with the Alpha male hit by the love bug at just one look.

What an explosive start to a new series. We learned to hate the Costa’s from the Broken Halo series, but the first installment will start to unravel what you thought you knew.
Such an intriguing read. Dominic Costa has always been a broody silent mystery to us, but we learn what a controlling force he is.
Dom is the Don of Chicago and he is back to execute his revenge on a rival family for an unforgivable crime against his family twenty years ago. What he never expected was her.
Sienna is a young florist who saw something she should not have. Now the Don has claimed her and she has no way of escaping him and truth be told she doesn’t want to.
Dom is a force to be reckoned with. He is controlling, methodical and completely obsessed with Sienna. He will burn down the world to protect her. He just hopes she wants him after he reveals who he truly is.
Sienna is stronger than she knows. She has complete control ofer the dangerous Don and doesn’t even realize the power she holds. I love how strong she is.

Dominic and Sienna’s story is the first in this arc of the Costa mafia family, it is an offshoot of the Broken Halos MC series also by Rica Lane. It starts one night when Sienna sees something she shouldn’t during a flower delivery. It moves swiftly from there as Dom sees her and something clicks “Mine” and he whisks her away to his penthouse fortress. This is a high risk, heat filled story that explodes with sex and bloody battles, sometimes in that order, sometimes not. The Costa family has returned to Chicago to right a wrong from 20+ years ago and they didn’t care who got killed in the process, preferably the Bellanti family, until Sienna came to the restaurant. Now Dom will raze Chicago to keep her safe. This is one of the best books I have read by Rica Kane and I can’t wait for book 2 in the series. 4✨’s . I received a copy of the book from the author and I am choosing to leave this review.

We met the Costa's in the Broken Halo MC series not only where they the protagonists of the Broken Halo but they where also Lucia's family that she almost destroyed at the end of the series now we get their stories

What a way to start with Dominic (Dom) the eldest brother the one who saw his parents killed and locked himself behind walls to protect his siblings and build a empire to get revenge and he is now starting that revenge it is all he lives for that is until florist Sienna sees something she shouldn't his family wants her taken care of but one look at her and Dom's idea of care is totally different. Can he find a way to keep Can he keep her safe in a war and can they have a future You will have to read to see

This was a fast paced fun read longer than the earlier books but a great fun read and I can't wait for the brothers and cousins of the Costa family to meet their matches

Dominic & Sienna's story captivated me from the very beginning & I could NOT put it down!!! It is fast paced and I really enjoyed it. You feel all the feelings with them... the sorrow, and longing, yearning for peace & redemption...and then comes the love, and healing.

I love how Dominic finally let Sienna in and let her talk with his sister, which is a huge thing and how it finally brought about healing for a lot of them. 🤩🤩

This is Book 1 in the Costa Vendetta series. I can't wait to read the rest of the series! 🤩

This is a well written story about two warring mafia families. Vengeance for the loss of parents which has taken root and transform the MMC into the typical hardened weaponized Don protecting his family and going after those that killed his parents. He struggles with things he has had to do in his past. His entire world is rocked with the unexpected appearance of Sienna, a florist, at a very inopportune moment. He falls instantly. He is obsessive, possessive, dominant, protective and he needs to be because she has become a target simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. She resists and believes she has been kidnapped, at first. She heals him simply via her presence and understanding his past "monstrous" acts. Ends in a non-relationship related cliff hanger.

Mafia romance.
Sienne is a young woman working hard to make her flower shop a success. One evening, while making a delivery to a restaurant, she witnesses a settling of scores between two Mafia clans. But she is also claimed by a handsome Mafia boss.
Dominique has built his entire life around revenge for his family, so when the rival family makes a move against him, he takes a private jet with his brothers to set his revenge in motion. He didn't expect, however, to fall for the beautiful flower delivery girl.
Will Sienne and Dominique have a beautiful love story, or will Dominique's secrets and his thirst for revenge destroy them….

Dominic is now the Dom as a server continues with the Costas. He needs to protect Sienna who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. But she doesn't want to be sheltered she doesn't want things to disappear she wants to stay and live her life. But he wants to keep her and claim her as his. This man who has been a shield and dominant over the family to protect the family and hold the family business is now starting to believe that there have been some bumps and along the way that will affect her as they affected his family. A lot of intense intimate situations. A lot of Revelations and truths that are now on the table. This is a good read. Some triggers may occur when reading this book.

Rating: 4/5 Stars
Author: Rica Lane
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶

​Rica Lane delivers a high-stakes underworld tale in Revenge of the Mafia Don. The chemistry between the leads is electric, and the Don’s ruthless pursuit of justice makes for a compelling, dark read.

​I rated this 4 out of 5 stars because while the characters are likable, the female lead lacked a distinct storyline outside of the romance. The plot was also slowed down by repetitive steam scenes that felt like "rinse and repeat" rather than driving the narrative forward.

I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is the first book in the new series Costa Vendetta. Dom Costa was introduced in Broken Halos Motorcycle Club series especially the last book with his sister's Lucia's story. I didn't really like Dom in that series but as a reader we learn about Dom and why he behaves tge way he does. He knows he is not a good man but will do anything to protect his family. Sienna was sweet and just living her life as a florist when she walks into something that puts her in danger. Dom is obsessive and possessive I'm here for it. I'm enjoying this new series and the Costas Men.

When Sienna dropped that vase, her life changed in so many ways. Dominic saw her and he fell in love instantly.  He picked her up and just walked out with her. She was his and that was that. She just wanted to get back to her shop. And she thought Dominic was crazy.

I have read a lot of Rica's books but this book was a complete surprise.  After the last series, I was ready to dislike the Costa family.  But Rica you made this story amazing.  So much so that I told my husband that I wanted him to love me like Dominic loves Sienna. My husband started laughing  at me. I am so looking forward to your next book.

Dominic has held his family together ever since his parents were murdered. He’s been in survival mode and predator mode for twenty years. One night everything changes when a florist walks in on something she should not have. He’s not letting her go and the Costa primal love monster is in full predator mode. Sienna is drawn to him and fights against him turning her world upside down. We see the depth Dominic goes to for the people he loves and how he chooses to grow as a person because of her. Loved it!!! Hot steamy fun and an OTT alpha man claiming the woman he loves.

Dominic Costa is certainly a force to be reckoned with on a global scale. But when the beautiful Sienna stumbles (literally) into a brutal situation led by him - he knows he must make her his. This push-pull, forced submission romance has all the earmarks of everlasting love and a life together. Honestly, I really didn’t like Dom at the start, but as he discovers himself and allows some confessions and vulnerability into his life - I grew to appreciate him a bit more. Lest us not forget he IS a Mafia Dom. 😉 Always written so well by Rica.

Revenge Of The Mafia Don is the 1st book in the new Costa Vendetta series. Sienna is having a bad night. While making a late flower delivery, she walks in on a blood bath. Oops. She's fixing to be permanently silenced when Dominic says "mine". Dominic is a mafia Don. He's lived his life for revenge of his parent's deaths. In claiming Sienna, he saves her. Yet, her life, as she knew it, is gone. Dominic is a hard man, and doesn't "do feelings", until he does. I found this a great start to this new series, which is the other side to the Broken Halos MC series.

Sienna and Dominic

Sienna is an innocent young woman just trying to run her flower business when her life changes in an instant! She was just delivering flowers when she opened the wrong door and witnessed a horrible crime. Her fate looked to be sealed until the scariest man in the room claimed her as his!

Now her old life is gone and she is the captive of a dangerously powerful man. But this man has vowed to keep her safe and he will no matter what comes at them.

This was a fast paced, mafia romance with some dark elements and suspenseful action. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to more.

Very disappointed with this story, I love a good mafia book, but this was just sex with a small plot.
It was badly edited I read the same 2 paragraphs twice and the constant mention of how his brothers look like there parents got annoying so did the constant mentioning of the death of his parents.
Also the timeline was confusing its seems at one point that several days have passed and then when the photo was found and it was from the night before which made no sense.
And one final big plot hole was her sister. when she thought she was going to die she thought about her sister, then she is never mentioned again.

After his sister, Lucia, brought down his empire, Dominic and his brothers and cousins left Pine Valley to get his revenge on the Ballenti family in Chicago. They were responsible for the deaths of their parents. It had been a year and his plan was coming together. That is, until a florist delivering a huge bouquet to the restaurant and literally stumbled onto a scene that should have gotten her killed. One look at Sienna and Dominic decided to claim her instead. A interesting read with danger and a war brewing between the families.

Redeeming himself, we first meet Dom in “Guarded by the Bikers” and we are meant to hate him. In this book we get to learn about him and start to love him. All thanks to Sienna a woman he sees from a distance and wants but never touches. Until one night when she walks into the wrong room and he claims hers are his and will burn the city down to protect her.
Can be read out of order but read both if given the chance can’t wait for the rest of the family.
