Benedetti Brothers #1-3
Salvatore, Dominic & Sergio
This set contains Salvatore, Dominic and Sergio, Three Dark Mafia Romances. It is the core trilogy of the Benedetti Brothers Mafia World!
Salvatore: a Dark Mafia Romance
Lucia
It all started with a contract signed by him, then by me, while our families watched. While my father sat silent, a man defeated, giving his daughter to the Benedetti monsters.
I obeyed. I played my part. I signed my name and gave away my life. I became their living, breathing trophy, a constant symbol of their power over us.
That was five years ago.
Then came the time for him to claim me. For Salvatore Benedetti to own me.
I had vowed vengeance. I had learned hate. And yet, nothing could have prepared me for the man who now ruled my life.
I expected a monster, one I would destroy. But nothing is ever black or white. No one is either good or evil. For all his darkness, I saw his light. For all his evil, I saw his good. As much as he made me hate him, a passion hotter than the fires of hell burned inside me.
I was his, and he was mine.
My very own monster.
Salvatore
I owned the DeMarco Mafia Princess. She belonged to me now. We had won, and they had lost. And what better way to teach a lesson than to take from them that which is most precious? Most beloved?
I was the boy who would be king. Next in line to rule the Benedetti Family. Lucia DeMarco was the spoils of war. Mine to do with as I pleased.
It was my duty to break her. To make her life a living hell. My soul was dark, I was hell bound. And there was no way out, not for either of us. Because the Benedetti family never lost, and in our wake, we left destruction. It’s how it had always been. How I believed it would always be.
Until Lucia.
Dominic: a Dark Mafia Romance
I’m the last-born son of the Mafia King.
The one with nothing to lose.
I walked away from my family. Turned my back on everything that should have been mine and became what I was meant to be.
A monster.
Until the day I stood over Gia cowering in the corner of that decrepit cabin in the woods. Until I saw the mark they’d put on her.
It was then I understood something my father used to say. Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.
My enemies had overplayed their hand.
It was past time I returned to the family. Past time I collected the debts owed me. And long past time I punished those who betrayed me.
Sergio: a Dark Mafia Romance
I’m the first-born son of the mafia king. The favorite. Destined to rule, I’m a dangerous man, a ruthless one. But in my world, you have to be.
Then Natalie stumbles into my life. Wrong place. Wrong time.
Twice, fate put her in my path.
Twice, fate placed the innocent lamb at the mercy of the monster.
I gave her a chance to walk away. Told her it would be better for her if she did. But she didn’t listen. And now it’s too late.
Because I’m not good. I never wanted to be. And I won’t let her go anymore.
I’m not the hero of this story. When I touch her, it’s with dirty hands.
I know my reckoning is coming though. I know I’ll burn for the things I’ve done, the sins I’ve committed. And I don’t deny hell is where I belong, but I want my time first. I want my time with her.
She’s mine.
Forever.
No matter what.

Fact. Every time I start a Natasha Knight novel, I am flooded with shivery anticipation. My heart quickens, my knees turn to jello, and I feel a rush of quivery excitement course through my veins! Her writing just has such a visceral impact on me, so even before I opened the first pages of SALVATORE and DOMINIC I knew instinctively she was gonna take me on two darkly entrancing, thrillingly twisted rides, and now that both
Benedetti Brothers
books are bundled into one enthralling collection...color me excited! Double the pulse-pounding mafia drama...a win-win...and I see MANY glorious rereads in my future!
No one writes angry, INTENSE, brooding sexy Alphas quite like Natasha Knight. They are so dark and predatory, deliciously dirty-talking, and harbor such simmering, bottled up rage you never know what will set them off and unleash the monster within. Salvatore and Dominic are definitely two of her most mesmerizing heroes to date. Omgeee theses men make my princess parts tingle and literally bring me to my knees! They love and loathe with equal fervor and I was hopelessly addicted to this volatile mafia series which pits brother against brother, father against son, good against evil, darkness against light....
There is no love lost between Salvatore and Dominic....two men who couldn't be more different yet their fierce loyalty to their family legacy binds them together in unfathomable ways. One noble to the core who also harbors shades of dark...the other a dark, depraved, TORMENTED lost soul, the ultimate black sheep who never quite belonged in the Benedetti Clan but desperately covets to be crowned the KING of the family empire!
Over the course of these two books, forbidden passions will ignite, battle lines will be drawn, traitorous desires unleashed, earth-shattering family secrets exposed, and blood WILL BE SHED! And even though Salvatore and Dominic have a fierce sibling rivalry teeming with jealousy, spite and resentment, when outside forces threaten their family, blood proves to be thicker than water and I pity the poor soul who dares to doublecross them! And through it all these two formidable men will each meet their match with two fiery spitfires--Lucia and Gia--who infiltrate their steely defenses, arouse their fiercest protective instincts, ignite their most PRIMAL desires, and who show them that true love can indeed penetrate the darkness!
This Benedetti Brothers series is oh so riveting and a definitive binge read! And while I am drawn to all of Ms. Knight's romances, in my opinion this dark mafia romance duet is the diamond standard! Both books are intricately plotted, brilliantly complex, brimming with raw, wrenching emotions, TORRID hot sex, stunningly evocative narrative and oodles of adrenaline-pumping mob drama! Both leading up to a soul-shattering climax that's not to be missed!!
So dive into The Benedetti Brothers: Salvatore and Dominic: Two Dark Mafia Romances Kindle Edition Boxset ...it will leave you gasping for breath and basking in the dark splendor!

Salvatore and Dominic are the first two books in Natasha Knight’s Benedetti Brothers series. Although I enjoyed both, I would not label them my favourite reads from the author.
As always, Natasha Knight sucks you deep into the story and has you powering through to see how everything comes together. The stories are interesting and leave you wanting more, making for perfect quick reads. Although the stories were interesting, I wasn’t as invested in the characters as I have been with other Natasha Knight reads.
Overall, enjoyable books from Natasha Knight even though I would not label them favourites.

Starting off a new series with a new author! Book 1 of the Benedetti Brothers series ~ Salvatore. Actually reading the book in the #1 slot, the oldest book on my TBR, added it 4 years ago!!! Anyway, I loved this book!! I read it straight through in one afternoon - could not put it down. Mafia brothers is my jam. And I loved the push and pull between Salvatore and Lucia. My most favorite kind of tension!!!!! It's also pretty light mafia - as in there really was no mafia business being taken care of in the book, just the implication of a family dynamic. But honestly the real killer - this authors messy GR page has completely overshadowed this review - so now for my vent!!!
It took me years to commit to reading this because I couldn't quite figure out where to really start and what books were part of the whole series, is it a mafia world of books? and what order to read them in. She wrote this book originally as a standalone?? but then added to it, but jumped back in time? books then connect, and jump around, so lets rename books and tell people a new reading order?? confusing. And then you tag it wrong?!? I actually am reviewing the duet box set because if you click Salvatore the standalone it tags it in a series called Stories from the sound - which is some sort of gay porn series world!?!?! Like what? how did that get tagged with this mafia series. This authors page is messy, messy, messy - I know most people don't care but I hate it LOL.

Salvatore - I don't think I've come across a Natasha Knight book yet that I didn't like! This woman knows how to write dark, bad boys that you fall in love with!
I really liked this book, and the struggle between Salvatore and Lucia. It was a great read, and a fun story to follow. I can't wait to read the next book about his brother!
Dominic - I loved Dominic!! I really enjoyed Salvatore, but his brother took everything up to a darker, more intense level! I love a character that is so dark and broken, yet you can't help but like him, and you know he still has a shot at redemption. That's Dominic! Deliciously dark, intense and forbidding, and she makes you love everything about him!
He and Gia were made for each other, whether they knew it right away or not. Once you start this book, you won't be able to put it down till you finish it!

Overall the set is a 3⭐️.
Book 1 I gave a 3 ⭐️
Book 2 characters were a bit harder to fall for. Starts off as a 2 5 but they do redeem themselves and there is some interesting parts in the storyline that over all it averages out at a 2.75 ⭐️ the characters in book one are maybe more redeemable but the twist and plots in book two might be more interesting.
Book 3 Sergio was definitely better than book 2. 3.5⭐️
After Salvatore, you're prepared for Sergio's story.
This is a prequel and visual of the hard lives the brothers lives. It makes it easy to see why Salvatore made the decision he made in his story.

Loved each book, hated the sequence. Already found the two stand alone books that come after this trilogy and have bought them. That should tell you what you need to know. I just can't back away...
September 15, 2025
I give this a 3.75. This trilogy explores the individual story of each brother and while it was a bit dark and intense I found myself drawn into this family dynamic, as each shed some light on their past and the motivations behind their ruthless behaviour. Readers may find this difficult as there is the presence of non-consentual acts and other disturbing elements that may be challenging to read but is part of the narrative. I will read another by Natasha Knight for sure!

oh my what a ride these books were! listened to them through audible. love the narrator's for these books. had a little of a hard time in the beginning with Sergio's(Natalie's) narrators, but soon was draw into the story and loved every second of this trilogy!
Salvatore.
it started slow with Salvatore, Lucia was driving me nuts with her spoiled brat behavior trough their story, she were supposed to be a "mafia princess" but couldn't (or wouldn't?) understand why she had to behave certain way sometimes around some people(mafia boss)? some of her behavior was just not believable as a daughter to a mafia boss, - she should have understood why Salvatore was acting certain was sometimes.
Dominic. damn. don't even get me started on him. he was a major freaking a-hole. I freaking HATED HIM by the start of his book and I was ready to DnF several times, because he was a disgusting excuse for a human being. but by the end of his book, I freaking loved him! and I was so freaking happy that he got his HEA in the end, finally! but damn, I did not like him for hmtje first half of his book.
Sergio. oh my goodness. His story(his end) is revealed early on in Salvatore's book so you go in with eyes wide open knowing there will be no HEA for him and Natalie. But their story was such a heartwarming and soul crossing story! my heart was broken by the end of the book and I felt with Natalie and her pain, damn it was raw. but at the same time it was a bittersweet story of love.

You will go through a whirlwind of emotions from hope, fear, anger, sorrow and most definitely love. The characters will take you with them on their journeys to find their ultimate happiness. I definitely recommend this trilogy.
By the end of the book, even expecting the ending, had me in tears, with my emotions locked up in my throat.

wow
Wow. Loved this series. read it in a trilogy.
Though Sergio’s story very sad, but was good to get the back story of how they come together. They had a chance meeting when she was young, and he saved her. Then another meeting where she saw something she shouldn’t have done, and he takes her in hand, but I don’t think he expects to fall in love. He knows his time is short. She is kidnapped and he finds her, she finds out she is pregnant then runs to her parents to think things through. Sergio follows her and they sort their life out. They marry and after this is when Sergio is killed. It follows Natalie and her grief as she processes Sergio’s death.
Salvatore story is a binding contract with a mafia princess. He goes in to it hating himself and what he has to do. But somewhere along the way Lucia and he fall in love, many trials and tribulations happen along the way, and the truth about Sergio’s death starts to unravel. Other secrets start to come forward. In the end Salvatore is shot and Lucia and he walk away from the mafia life.
After Dominic shoots Salvatore by accident as Salvatore jumps in front of a bullet meant for his Dad. He leaves and goes underground. Only a few know what he is really doing. Sone are enemies and he just doesn’t know it yet. His new job brings him a woman that he once saved but can’t place her. They are involved in a volatile relationship. Once Dominic realises he is being played he takes the girl and runs. In this time his father passes away and he is now the head of the family. His enemies come to light and he brings order to his kingdom, and they realise that they have fallen in love.

I loved the three brother's stories
I bought this trilogy awhile ago and have been trying to read all the books I have bought in the last couple of years. Shocked to find I have over 200 unread books.
Oh My God, I really enjoyed the Benedetti Brothers . I fell in love with each one and loved the women in their lives. Still can't stand the Father , but the sons were all alpha hot in their own way. I love the book covers on the individual books and throughout reading had to go to your kindle page and stare at their pictures from time to time. Some of the hottest men on book covers that I have ever seen. The brothers were all ruthless men, but I fell in love with them all. They were true bad boys and have no idea what that says about me, but I am not going to look to deep into that, because this was fictional and my fantasies are my own.
Sergio's story was heart breaking, not sure if I liked reading it last.
If you like dark, a little twisted and mafia bad boys, then you will love their stories. Natasha Knight excels in her writing skills and story telling of dark tales of hot, sexy, alpha bad boys. Nothing boyish about Sergio, Salvador and Dominic, they were each all man.

SALVATORE:
Salvatore's compliments are interesting to say the least, “you smell like a steak,” Salvatore said, suddenly behind me, his mouth on the back of my neck." I really liked this book, I mean Salvatore comes off as a meanie, but he's a big ole softie when it comes to Lucia.
DOMINIC:
Even without meaning to Dominic could be sweet and protective in his own way when it comes to Gia, “no. Not unless he touches you like this, and if he does that, it’ll be the last thing he touches.” That made her smile." Dominic grew on me especially after I saw him with Gia, “let’s go get some real coffee.” I shook my head as she tried to argue. “You’re Italian, for Christ’s sake. You can’t tell me you like that crap.” I really enjoyed this book, Dominic and Gia may have gotten off to a rocky start but they made one hell of a team.

Emotional brutal page turner
Benedetti Brothers, 3 brothers, 3 strong, loyal & dangerous men that are not afraid to get dirty to protect the women they love. Salvatore & Lucia's story was emotional brutal, at times I thought Lucia was very immature but you learn to love and admire her courage to live the best life she can. Dominic & Gia, emotional brutal is not covering how I felt while reading Dominic & Gia's story, it was dark & degrading while also giving you a sense of hope and acceptance. Sergio & Natasha I understand why the book was written but it just wasn't as good as the 2 others.

Got my heart ripped out!!!
The Benedetti Trilogy was out of this world amazing!!!!
Salvatore had his hands full, once he got Gia. They had so many obstacles to overcome, secrets to learn. At the end everything worked out for the best for the both of them.
Dominic took his life the way he though he deserved it. Meeting Gia was his salvation and together they fought...
Sergio and Natalie just stole my heart and ripped it to shreds!!! Their story was so meant to be, and they made the best of it knowing how long it would last... 😢 just loooovvveeeddddd it!!!!❤

I liked sergios story (a surprise addition to the 2 books) best of the 3. as the first born son of a mafia don, his rather poignant obsession with death Makes sense. His self reflection is often touching and occasionally insightful. The author has an annoying tendency to regurgitate whole sentences from her other books and her obsession with sexual dominance is very 1 track.
I liked Salvatore but Lucia was often annoying and dominic potentially had so much to offer but while he makes a great anti hero, there was something flat about the book. Maybe i need a break from the crime lord genre.

An excellent series, and I'm just reading no 4 and 5! Really well written with very relatable characters, tight plots and a great world view. I think it's perfect that Sergio's story was the third book, made perfect sense, a little heartbreaking actually. Very sensitively handled.
Rough, tough, steamy - and highly recommended.

3 brothers and their love
Well, I am not going to lie, Sergio’s story was the hardest to get through. Salvatore didn’t want that life so he succeeded. I loved Dominic’s story. But I am so glad that Uncle got what he deserved. To little to late though. Another must read by this author

True brothers, no matter what. >Salvatore's story with the messed up arranged marriage. His kind heart is behind a shield of stone. >Dominic, torn and twisted, lost in the world, trying to find his place. < Both beautiful and a bit dark love stories.

Ahhh...way to write a series, and to end it!
I really loved these brothers, and the women they loved. Each one was so different, yet so the same. Once again the author shows why I love her writing.

Mafia + violence + raw eroticism= TWO VERY GOOD STORIES!
This was my first time reading anything by this author (again, where have I been), and she was AMAZING or shall I say wickedly awesome. I felt like I was inside the workings of a real mafia family. The characters had depth and they were realistic. I will admit that the women Gia and Lucia had begun to irk me because they talked too much and had way too much attitude but it made the story interesting. If you like anything Mafia and love dark romance, then you will love these two stories. It's definitely worth the read!

These Benedetti Brothers!! Oh My Gee!! I'm still fanning my face from the book hangover I was left after finishing with these two boys a few weeks ago! I'm not one to give you a synopsis of the books in my review so I'll just leave you with my own view on this awesome little series!
In book 1, Salvatore is the dark knight emblazoned with the steel of a mafia family facade. But somewhere beneath all that darkness lies a beating heart. A fire that can only be lit with the touch of the right woman.
Isabella comes kicking and screaming into his world with the strength and fight of a stallion. She will do what she must, what her father promised, but she can only be tamed by one man. When the two are thrust together, only the worse could be expected. But so begins a tale of darkness and light, of hard and soft, of ugliness and beauty.
By the time I made it to book two, I was hopelessly lost in the crime world of the Benedetti's, and was just itching to get into Dominic's adventure! He comes in another form of Benedetti darkness only his is so much scarier than we could have even imagined! He's a man who has given up on the world and everyone in it. This is a very dangerous thing! Those who don't care about anything or anyone, will do anything or anyone!! Gia comes along and forces his puzzle pieces to connect with hers. Two minds with vengeance set upon the same road. Two hearts who have the same end goals. What's that saying? The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Gia and Dominic will take you on a ride you won't soon forget!
Now before stumbling upon this series, I had never read a Natasha Knight book. Being a huge fan of mafia romance, I'm very critical of them and finding a good one is sometimes hard. Unfortunately I had never heard of her. But what I quickly discovered is that hers is a talent so few writers can really achieve. She is a master craftsmen in her work and lulls her readers so slowly and deeply into her creative world that before you realize the cobra has struck, it's too late, the poison is already pumping thru your veins! I'll unabashedly admit that about halfway thru Dominic's book I slowed waaaayyyy down in my reading. I absolutely did not want to leave this Benedetti world and chose to slowly sip the rest of this tale like a fine wine, enjoy it while I could! Then i wanted to go back to the beginning and start all over again! This series has some amazing secondary characters who not only add alot to the creation of the first two books but who also hold the door open for an awesome potential to add their stories to this amazing series!! I'll be the first to put in my bid for the 'Waiting on more Benedetti's Fan Club'! But while I wait, I will waste no time in downloading more of Knight's work! She has found a fan for life in me, and THAT I can tell you, my friends, is a very hard thing to do!!

The Benedetti Trilogy was out of this world amazing!!!!
Salvatore had his hands full, once he got Gia. They had so many obstacles to overcome, secrets to learn. At the end everything worked out for the best for the both of them.
Dominic took his life the way he though he deserved it. Meeting Gia was his salvation and together they fought...
Sergio and Natalie just stole my heart and ripped it to shreds!!! Their story was so meant to be, and they made the best of it knowing how long it would last... 😢 just loooovvveeeddddd it!!!!❤

Dark, intense, captivating and nail-biting gritty ride to go on with Salvatore, Dominic & Sergio Benedetti. I was on the edge of my seat for each story and left a little breathless in the end. Great series!

Natasha Knight's Dark Mafia Romance series is really good. She puts the right amount of "dark (see Dominic)" in her stories. Salvatore, Dominic and Sergio were all really good books to read. I look forward to ready more books by this great author!

Loved both
I loved both Salvatore and Dominic's stories. Two brothers, one light, one dark and love finds both of them when neither think it's possible. Salvatore not wanting the life he was given, Dominic wanting that life so much. Brothers that do not see eye to eye on anything but, still hold so much love for one another. I really did enjoy both stories. I love Natasha Knight's writing. The sex is super hot and there is plenty of it. I recommend both. Enjoy
