The New Godfather
What to A real alpha Italian, New York City glamor, forced proximity on a deserted mountain; an unquenchable obsession, lust, money, diamonds, secrets and lies, and a happily-ever-after… when love wins.
Ricci Santori
The Godfather is dead… Long live the new Godfather!
At last. Finally, I wear the crown of blood. What I have done to lift it to my head is despicable. There is no forgiveness for such acts, but we will not speak of them now.
I will answer directly to my maker when the time comes, and I will pay my dues. I will stand in the fires of hell, wear the groaning chains of torture, and let Dante’s ferocious demons gorge endlessly on my flesh.
And I will do this willingly.
It is a great honor. A wonderful achievement. Men will kiss my hand reverently, restaurant owners will refuse to take my money, more wealth than I can ever hope to spend will flow into my hands. The whole world will be my oyster. All of it will be mine to take.
But none of that is important to me. This title has only one use for me. And one use only. It will give me access to her.
She has a name. Her name is Viola Greco. She is the wife of the last Godfather.
I have killed for her, and I will do so again. If necessary, I will drink snake poison for her... I will lay down my life for her.
For she is my obsession.
The New Godfather is a steamy, dual-point-of-view, standalone, intense romance with fiery passion, and a very delicious HEA.

LETHAL POWER. UNSTOPPABLE OBSESSION.
Some romances entertain you.
Some consume you.
Ricci and Viola’s story did BOTH.
Oh, I was SO hooked on this story! Ricci and Viola pulled me into their world of danger, secrets, obsession, and passion and I didn’t want to let go.
Ricci… WOW. He is lethal, ruthless, powerful and utterly commanding. A man who has earned his place at the top and is feared by everyone around him. But when it comes to Viola, all that power becomes something even more dangerous…an obsession that knows no limits.
He’s the kind of book boyfriend who would destroy anything standing between him and the woman he wants.
And Viola? She’s strong and resilient, but her endearing personality makes her even more lovable and easy to root for. She is absolutely the woman this dangerous man needs.
The tension between them is off the charts, their chemistry is explosive and the spice…SO delicious!
What I loved most was the intensity of their connection.
These two were impossible to look away from.
Every secret, every dangerous moment, every heated encounter kept me wanting more.
Georgia, you absolutely delivered!
You have a way of creating romances that pull me in, make me feel everything and leave me completely satisfied when I reach that HEA.
If you love a ruthless, dangerous alphas, obsessive love, explosive chemistry, forced proximity, secrets, lies and a romance that will have you NEEDING to know what happens next…
You NEED to meet the new Godfather.

I’ve read for Georgia before, and I loved her books. She is a really good writer. I was interested in this book because of the blurb, and honestly, it’s a great book.
Viola was sold by her father to an old Don to cover his debts, and the least we can say is that her life was miserable with him. She had nothing for herself. She was always wearing a mask so the world couldn’t hurt her anymore… in order to protect herself.
Then the old Don dies… and with his death comes the new Don: Ricci.
What Viola didn’t know was that Ricci had been obsessed with her for years, ever since he first set his eyes on her when he was the second-in-command to her husband. But she had always seemed distant and cold… and she had to. She was protecting herself.
To keep her from the vultures circling her, he offers her the chance to become his wife. And she agrees. He’s the lesser of all evils, and she feels safe with him. Ricci does everything he can to make his new wife happy. He’s gentle, sweet, loving, caring, the ultimate “touch her and die” type, and Viola can’t believe her luck. This is too good to be true… until the truth is revealed.
He offers her everything, and for once in her life, she feels free. And so does he. After everything they’ve been through, they are the perfect match, bonding over not caring what people think and their difficult pasts. I loved them together. Their chemistry is hot, but what really got me was how palpable their affection for each other is. It practically leaps off the pages.
Secrets, kidnapping, steamy scenes, twists… but at its heart, this is the most romantic love story. And honestly, as long as Ricci and Viola are together, it feels like the rest of the world can go to hell.
Loved it. ❤️.

This was an amazing story that I read in one sitting. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. To settle his gambling debts, Viola was sold by her father to be the wife of Salvadore, The Godfather and Dom of the famed and powerful Grego Mafia. At a young age, this virgin was trapped in a loveless marriage with an evil, paranoid and controlling man. Although he was worth billions, his death left her penniless and a target for his evil son, Marcus and other evil men. Ricci, his second in command and the new Godfather has always had a crush on her and offers her protection. It was heartwarming to see how gentle, kind and caring he was to her and how he had loved her from afar for so many years. They were so tender with each other and it was a treat watching their love story develop. He began to question his life as he found satisfaction and comfort just being with her. Their chemistry was off the charts.
The author did a great job with the story. It has a great flow and everything is going great for them until the FBI rears its ugly head. What happens when they want her to testify against him? What is the real truth? Who kidnapped her dog and why? Who kidnapped her? What about the dead bodies from the freezer? A new life? A new beginning? A wonderful romance that you will love. I read a free arc via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

Ricci, born in poverty, has clawed his way to the top of Salvatore's family, now steps in to seize power and finally claim the one thing he has waited for, Viola as his wife. He has loved her forever and is ready to step up as her husband and the new Godfather, he will have everything he ever wanted but would happily give it all up for Viola.

I was a bit confused as I started this book... but it didn't take me long to figure out what was going on & get hooked into the book!!
I love the characters - you really feel for Viola... who was sold by her parents into a loveless, abusive marriage... then her husband dies & she is preyed upon. Thankfully Ricci is there with an offer she can't refuse.
It doesn't take them long to fall for each other (he had wanted her for a long time, but that's not the same as falling in love). I enjoyed how their story played out & it kept me hooked the whole way through!!
I love how he takes time off to go grocery shopping with her and how they spend time together... he makes her a priority, no matter the cost. He grew up poor & it's nice to see him letting her in a bit as they get to know each other.
The book is told in a dual 1st person POV.
Spice level: 3.5/5
*Mafia romance
*dark romance
*arranged/forced marriage
*he's the new Don
*enemies to lovers
*forced proximity
*billionaire romance
*rags to riches
*ends with a HEA
Thank you to the author (Georgia Le Carre) & Booksprout for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

He knows what he wants and she is everything to him
The New Godfather is an intense and obsessive, Mafia romance with a twist. Ricci is the new Mafia Don who was the second in command to Salvatore. When Salvatore is killed Ricci knows exactly what he wants. Viola is younger and was basically traded in marriage to Salvatore to pay off her father's gambling debts. It was a loveless and cold marriage where she was a young trophy wife. But when Salvatore is killed she may be released from the marriage but she is also left with no money and no security. Ricci has loved and been obsessed with Viola since the first time he saw her. She may have been his bosses wife but the heart wants what it wants. Viola is faced with two choices but Ricci proposes a third, marry him and have what she wants. What starts with a contract will soon become all too real as their chemistry cannot be hidden for long. There is danger around them though as they navigate their own situation. For Ricci he knows he will never let Viola go, but he also wants her to be happy and feel loved, as he begins to run the family now.

The New Godfather is another great story from this author. It is suspenseful and has amazing characters.
Viola was sold to her husband to help pay for the debts of her father. The marriage was not a good one for her. She didn't show her true self to the world. When he dies the new Don takes over, Ricci. Ricci has been obsessing over Viola for many years. She has no idea. She has offers for marriage but Ricci offers his hand also. Viola agrees to marry him since he is the better choice. Once they are married he shows her a different side. He is kind to her and gentle. When they go out to dinner on their honeymoon, he is very attentive to her. She is not used to being treated with such admiration and respect.
I loved how Viola was so strong even after enduring her marriage and her father. I loved how Ricci was so attentive to her after they married. I loved how he had been obsessed with her for so long. They were an amazing couple who had such great chemistry. I look forward to the next story from this very talented author.

The New Godfather by author Georgia Le Carre is a steamy Mafia Contemporary romance that follows FMC Viola as she navigates the death of the Mafia husband she never loved and the fact the billionaire left her nothing but a wish she return to her father’s house… not happening!
Meanwhile the newly elected Godfather Ricci Santori who has replacing the deceased, and always coveted his wife tries to think of a way to get her to come to him for help as the vultures circle.
Enjoyed this standalone, dramatic, suspenseful, emotional, passionate, darkly intense story that was well written and supported by expertly crafted characters that made the narrative come to life.
Does Ricci get the woman he would kill for, and has?
Curl up with this book and get lost in a deeply satisfying hard to put down read.
I also enjoyed the links to the music beginning each new chapter!
HEA.

From afar by MeemsAngel82
This was another incredibly well written book! Details and not the norm storytelling while still in the mafia world is hard to do. The story is a whole one and these characters have depth and this was entertaining. There are triggers so please be aware. This couple should have been together from the start.
But she was given to a bad man. Living a terrible life by his side, his sudden death couldn't even bring her joy. The new boss makes her a deal.
Considering he's been eyeing her this whole time would definitely have set her mind more at ease. He truly cared for her and while there are not good circumstances, this is mafia life, he is the best for her. She didn't have to worry with him. He truly cared and that isn't something you take for granted. Great chemistry and an interesting storyline.

The FMC Viola has zero personality—
Ricci has been secretly in love with Viola for years while she was married to the old Don—
Ricci has never spoken a word to her. He just always thought she was beautiful.
The cruel husband is murdered and it’s finally time for Ricci to make her his wife— there are pages and pages of both MC‘s inner thoughts, however, limited conversation between the two MC’s—
I mean, like she barely says anything to him. She gives him one word answers, blushes, gasps, keeps her eyes down, trembles…
There isn’t one intelligent meaningful conversation between these two to justify why he’s so madly in love with her— I guess it’s just the sex🤷🏼♀️
Then at 86% she finds out something which has ultimately saved her life and brought her happiness, and she acts like it was a huge betrayal— she also does something stupid because she is stupid—- I don’t understand the four and five star reviews at all

An unexpected twist in your typical mafia romance!
I fell in love with Viola’s will to have survived her don husband’s abuse, so when she is told of his death, she continues playing the role of a don’s wife. Enter Ricci, his second in command, who worked his way up from the bottom of the streets and took over as the new don. Ricci has desired Viola since he first met the don’s wife, but ignored her at every chance while waiting for his moment. Viola is in an awkward position as her husband left her nothing in the will, and her father would likely sell her off to another to pay his debts. Ricci steps in with an offer to be his wife that she doesn’t want, but can’t turn down. This is a fast paced romance that knows no limits. What happens when Ricci’s secret is revealed? You have to read to find out and will be rooting for Ricci and Viola to find their happily ever after!

A very interesting a sumptuous love story. Ricci the new Godfather is obsessed with the widow Viola, of the old Godfather. He was a much older very cruel man, that acquired his wife to pay of a family debt. There was no love there but a lot of cruelty and control. When he dies Viola is left nothing, but that soon changes when Riccimakes his move on her and whisks her away to be married before her dead husband is even cold in his grave. What follows is a deeply romantic encounter where eventually the two are so much in love it hurts. Until Ricci has had enough, and Viola’s ex husband son who is vile kidnaps her and forces a hand. The story is a little slow, and tends to be a bit repetitive S it’s from both characters POV, however it’s a lovely way to escal
Pe reality between the pages and enjoy pure bliss.

Viola was sold by her father to her husband who was a cruel and mean Don. Now that her husband is dead lots of men are eager to make her their mistress. However, the new godfather has been watching and waiting for her for years. He knows he can’t pursue her. So when he deceased husband’s son a crueler, abusive man propositions her, Ricci decides to step in. Viola and Ricci agree to marry and he is willing to promise her anything to make her his. While this is a mafia story it was more of a romantic story about yearning and waiting for the one you want. These two together were able to find the love and acceptance that had never been in their life before. I enjoyed the romance although it happened just a little too fast for me. I wanted more pining and yearning. If you’re looking for a light mafia with a good romantic story, this is it.

I really enjoyed The New Godfather, Viola’s story pulled me in right away, I loved seeing her find strength and hope after everything she had been through. Ricci was definitely my favorite part—powerful and dangerous when he needed to be, but incredibly gentle, patient and protective with Viola. Their chemistry was off the charts, I really enjoyed watching their relationship grow.
The story has drama, romance, suspense, secrets, and unexpected twists, I was hooked and wanted to keep reading to see how everything would unfold. A great read for anyone who enjoys mafia romance with strong chemistry, emotional depth and a protective hero. Georgia Le Carre did a wonderful job on this story, I enjoyed it, it's great.
Thank you,Georgia Le Carre. Great work :)

Viola has just been told that her Mafia Don husband is dead. Viola was ordered by her family to marry him so her father's gambling debts could be paid off. She was a young trophy wife in a cold loveless marriage and is left no money from her dead husband and told to just go back to her family. Viola has no intention of doing that.
Ricci, the new Mafia Don, has secretly wanted and desired Viola from afar and offers to help her if she marries him. Their chemistry together is steamy and undeniable. I absolutely loved Viola and Ricci's romantic journey together in a mafia world filled with secrets, betrayal and murder. A must read!

If you live for dark mafia romance, ruthless antiheroes, and unapologetic 'touch her and die' energy, Ricci and Viola’s story is a total masterpiece! Ricci is lethal, feared by the entire underworld, and completely unhinged when it comes to Viola. His ruthless power becomes a terrifyingly hot obsession—he is the exact type of morally gray book boyfriend who will burn down whole syndicates just to keep his woman safe. Viola is his absolute equal: resilient, strong, and deeply endearing. The lethal mafia tension, possessive obsession, and scorching spice make this an unputdownable 5-star read!.

This is not your typical mafia romance, but it is very satisfying to read with rich characters and a well written storyline that had me cheering on the characters. Viola was sold into a loveless marriage by her father to the Dom who is now dead and she is penniless. The new dom has been in love with her from afar and has placed her under his protection and their path begins. I loved how their relationship evolves and changes the outcome of their lives.

Wow! I couldn't put this book down. Viola and Ricci's story is filled with turmoil, danger and lots of heat. Viola is the widow of the Don Ricci has replaced and is in need of protection. Ricci has desired Viola from the moment he saw her and when these two touch their fate is sealed. They both have baggage and fears that they figure out they can lean on each other for. This is a wonderfully written mafia romance that's a perfectly blended dark romance. 5 stars all the way.

This is a steamy mafia romance between widow Viola and new Don Ricci. These flawed but likeable souls and the unique plot make for an intriguing read. What starts out as a marriage contract turns into something more. It is a captivating love story with drama and steam, danger and suspense, sexual tension and chemistry, and twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters. An intense ride.

'The New Godfather is a steamy, dual-point-of-view, standalone, intense romance with fiery passion, and a very delicious HEA.'
The characters were very complex and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Plot was intriguing and intense and well paced. World building was excellent and expertly drawn. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!
Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy the read!.

Review of an advance copy received from the author.
This is the story of Ricci and Viola. He started at the bottom of the Greek Mafia and is faced with a choice: does he choose Viola, the chance for happiness and love, or does he go for the chance to become a Don and leave happiness behind? I enjoyed their story and the main characters.

The New Godfather by Georgia LeCarre puts Viola in the middle of a ruthless mafia world, where her most unlikely shield is the new Godfather himself. Ricci has loved her quietly for years, and their chemistry is impossible to miss. His tenderness toward Viola adds an unexpected warmth, while kidnapping, FBI pressure, dangerous secrets, and a late twist keep the tension simmering.

Georgia LeCarre does obsession so well…
We meet Viola, the decorative wife of a mean godfather. She rides her horse for escape and is well and truly caged as the arm candy in her loveless marriage.
Rocco has blood on his hands and he’s the new godfather. His driving reason is Viola.
So much mafia drama.

Freshly widowed, Viola finds her husband left her nothing. The new Godfather, RIcci, steps up, marrying the woman he's wanted from afar for too long. A sizzling read with a protective and obsessed new husband, secrets and lies, and a few twists too.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I found this read was not your typical mafia read.
The plot was seat around two main characters.
I found I quite enjoyed this read even though it didn’t
have a lot of action but there was just enough to keep me
interested.
