From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Bella Love-Wins, comes an emotionally dark mafia crime family romance serial.
My name is Antonio DeLucci. They call me The Trigger. I’m the most trusted made man in the Romano crime family. I’m at the peak of my career with the mob, and in their good graces, but I’m not their blood. All this time, I thought there was an upside to that fact. It meant one day, I could have her. Natalia. The boss’s only daughter and sole heir of the Romano empire. I protected her since she was a kid. I craved her since the day she turned eighteen and snuck into my apartment to tell me she wanted to be mine and mine alone. But she is forbidden. Off limits. I wouldn’t dare give in to temptation. Until now. And when her father finds out what I’m now doing in secret with his sweet virgin daughter, there’ll be hell to pay. Loyalty is everything to him, and I’ve betrayed him in the worst possible way, with the person that matters most to him. Any day now, it’ll all come back to haunt me. Except right now, I don’t care. She’s mine, and I’ll move heaven and earth to keep her. No matter the cost. No matter how far I fall. Even if it kills me. Author's Note: Fall is book one of the Saints of Sin Series. This is a full-length serial romance that ends in a cliffhanger.
No character development or any real plot. The h is a virgin and because the H doesn’t want to take her virginity until they can be together official he fucks her in the ass. Lmao what the fuck
Loved it! Great start to a new series. This mafia read has loads of steam, plenty of drama and suspense. Antonia and Natalia have so much depth and their chemistry is hot. There are plenty of twists and turns that keep you hooked from beginning to end. Looking forward to more in the series.

What an amazing beginning in this series about a crime family featuring Natalia, the daughter of a mob boss and Antonio, the older man who is in charge of protection and the right hand man to the boss. Natalia has just returned from Italy on her 18th b-day and doesn’t waste anytime letting Antonio know that she wants him. Antonio has been fighting the lust for Natalia but when she offers herself up to him, he can’t resist. But there is unrest in the family and all their lives are in danger and just as the two finally give in, they are separated....can they find their way back to each other. An amazing read with steam, danger, suspense and a doozy and I mean a doozy of a cliffhanger that has me itching to find out what happens next. The story grabbed me from the first page and didn’t let go, the characters were amazing and I LOVED how tough and resilient Natalia and how brooding and smexy Antonio was...can wait to read the next book. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
This is the 1st book in a new series from the phenomenal author Bella Love- Wins. Antonio is in the mafia, and Natalia is the boss’s daughter. Any relationship that happens between these 2 is forbidden and taboo if/when occurs because age difference.
Antonio is older and Natalia younger; think the older man / younger women storyline. They want each other - the chemistry is intense and passionate between them but can’t be together because her father would blow a gasket and never allow their relationship to happen. When a new threat comes up, Antonio will do anything to protect Natalia to keep her safe but will he already be too late? This is a dark mafia romance that is filled with twists , turns, drama, angst, heartache, passion, heat, betrayal, loyalty, secrets, suspense, danger, and love. I look forward to more in this series and of the sensational writing.
Antonio DeLucci makes himself a window for a second chance to live life differently when his paths cross with the infamous Don Paolo Romano one fateful night fourteen years ago, and he has willingly been by his side since then. His mother’s motto “Families belong together” was one he holds dear to his heart, along with his ever-growing illicit sentiments for the daughter of his mafia mentor, Natalia.
When the Don needs him the most, and their world gets a shakeup they never saw coming, the fierce temptation to just take what he wants to claim as his own wars with his honor and the duty now heavily tasked onto his shoulders, before another vital window in his life closes, probably forever.
This is the first thrilling installment of this tale, and it is an edge-of-your-front-seat ride as we await the fates of the scattered Romano New Jersey empire left in the hands of two tenacious and admirable characters I could not help but fall in love with.
Oh my gosh, Bella Love-Wins has done it again! She’s given us a terrific story that’s sexy, gritty and thrilling...the type of story that has you grabbing on with both hands and hanging on for dear life! I will admit I was a little sceptical on the age difference between the main characters, mainly because Natalia is barely legal, but I should have known Ms. Love-Wins would handle the age difference fabulously, and she did. Despite being a hardened killer, Antonio is an admirable man. Deeply loyal to his brothers, his boss, Paolo Romano and the Romano family...especially Natalia. Natalia is wise beyond her years, an old soul, who knows what she wants and what she wants is Antonio. This book is a thrilling, roller coaster ride of a story that is hard to put down and leaves you anxiously wishing for more. Loved it and highly recommend it!
If you are a Mafia romance gal, this is a book for you! Bella is a great author/storyteller to begin with but this book just knocks it out of the park for me. I absolutely loved reading this story even thought it does end on a cliffhanger!! Be warned, but it is still so worth the read. This story is about Antonia who has made his way up the food chain in the Mafia/family but he is not blood. Which this good as he is so attracted to Natalia, the Mafia princess. So know that Antonio has proven time and again his loyalty and trust to the family but how can he also get Natalia by his side without breaking every rule and getting himself possible killed. This is a very well written, twists and turns story that will keep you turning each page until the end. Great read, I cannot wait for more. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an ARC.
OMG! Bella wrote a gripping story that had me hooked, and now I’m left hanging wondering what’s going to happen next to Natalia. The unthinkable has happened to the mafia princess and Antonio is beside himself. With the head of the family safely secure, and the matriarch in Italy, Antonio has a monumental job in keeping the crime family business going while a threat to destroy his way of life is looming on the horizon.
Bella Love-Wins writing skill is fluid in her storytelling in this forbidden romance between two people whose hearts clearly belong to one another. With potential danger around the corner, Natalia is told she needs to leave for her safety. The finally give in to their attraction. And it’s everything she’s dreamed but she’s promised to someone else. I can’t wait for the next book.

Natalia is forbidden fruit, the daughter of Antonio's boss in the Romano crime family. Messing with her is a death sentence but he can't help himself. Now that she's eighteen and has made her feelings for him clear, Antonio is going to take what he wants no matter the consequences. Natalia and Antonio's passion for each other leaps from the pages of this steamy story and it ends on a heck of a cliffhanger. The great writing and compelling story kept me turning pages and I was at the end before I knew it. I am impatiently waiting for book two!
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.
Gripping start to an intense book. Antonio and Natalia are a great pair. I was pulled in from the very beginning and couldn't put it down. The struggles Antonio went through when he was young were what made him the man he is now. Natalia is a young woman who wants to live life on her terms and not be told what to do, who to marry and what the family expects of her. Antonio has watched Natalia grow up and now that she has blossomed into a woman he has trouble keeping away from her. He is very much aware that if Natalia and he are discovered it will be a very high price to pay. Is he willing to risk it all for the woman he loves? I can not wait to read the next book!
5 stars > I received a free copy of the dark short novel Fall: Saints of Sin book 1: A Mafia Crime Family Romance by Bella Love-Wins and this review was given freely. > This is not a genre I usually enjoy as the violence is often too graphic. This one is more suspenseful and action packed thus keeping my interest throughout. Multiple themes/storylines give promise of an action packed and complex sequel. Antonio escapes an abusive foster home to be with he three brothers, becomes involved with a semi-legitimate mob boss, rises to 2nd in command,and falls in love with his bosses daughter Natalia only to have a crisis threaten to take everything away.
I really enjoyed this intense read and am looking forward to book two. Yes, be prepared it does end on a cliffhanger. This is a gripping story of loyalty, forbidden desire, danger, passion, love and suspense. Antonio and Natalia are likable, complex characters. Gripped by lust, tormented by emotions and fighting against everything that stands between them, these two very quickly steal your heart. Plenty of drama and twists will keep you turning pages and already craving more before you read the last page. This is my independent, impartial review.
What??? It ended??? I wasn’t ready for that! A new series that starts off with a bang. Characters are perfect for each other in spite of all the obstacles, some of which are life and death. Ends on a cliff so I know I’ll have to go back and re-read this one again (yay) when the next book comes out. It will draw you in and keep you turning the pages. Never a dull minute. Edge of the seat tension. Winner! (Plan enough time to finish the book because you won’t be able to put it down). (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
Grateful to the man who helped him when he most needed, in their Mafia world Antonio had been loyal and dutiful. When temptation and lust were making him falter and strong emotions were unleashed, Antonio knew he was falling and fast and Natalia Romano was up to no good to have the man. But in a world of violence fate changes with a finger’s snap. Suspense, strong emotions, danger, betrayal and stormy passion with exciting scenes and interesting twists that intrigued me. Now, we eagerly expect for the next book.
Wow just wow. What a start to an incredible series. I cannot believe I have to wait until April to read the next instalment in the series though. How will I survive...this has been another phenomenal book by Bella. I really didn't expect it to be any different though. Bella's books are all amazing. Love the storyline and absolutely love the characters. Adore Antonio and Natalia. I so hope that Vinny survives being he was in the start of the series and its upsetting to read he got shot.
It’s an interesting story, but I’m sorry 90 pages for a book is not worth the money. I hate that and I wish I paid closer attention to these details. I don’t mind series if they are actual books, but this is a joke. I’m kind of bitter I wasted my time on this. If short novellas that cost are your jam then this my be up your alley. It’s decent a little bit of an eye roller but fascinating none the less. I would’ve probably read on if not for the price and length issue.
Love a good mafia read and this book and characters had me hooked. Natalia & Antonio I really liked their story. They want each other but can’t be together because her father would never allow it. With a new threat Antonio will do anything too protect Natalia but will he be too late? The ending wow I need the next book ASAP. Great story that everyone must read.

Love a story with Mafia ties? Older man younger women scenario? Passionate, suspenseful, emotionally charged keeps you on the edge scenes? Then this is the book for you, I've just begun to scratch the surface of Antonio and Natalia's complexities! This first book has me hooked, with its strong characters, intricately weaved storyline! Eek! Bella Love-Wins rolled out the red out the carpet of reads for this one! I cannot wait for more of this unique, sexy, intriguing mobbed up story.
This is the first book in a new series from this extremely talented author. Antonio is in the mafia, and Natalie is the boss’s daughter. Any relationship between these two is forbidden as the older man / younger women scenario. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a well written story which had me hooked and intrigued from the very beginning, and I cannot wait to read the second book in this amazing series.
Wow is all I can say about this book. It's the ultimate mafia stoey that we picture to happen in modern day times. We meet the boy who became boss and the princess who fell in love with him. It's a short but sweet version of how we think it goes. I fell in love with them from get go. I can't wait to see what happens in book 2. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy.
This is a great beginning and I could not put this book down once I started it. Natalia an 18 year old and Antonio a 30 year old is not usually my type of read. However, Natalia is mature for her age and I admire her courage. This is suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series! I received an advance copy of this book from the author and this is my honest and voluntary review.
This book sucked me in and still hasn't spit me out. Can't wait for the next in the series! Antonio and Natalia are lovers that should never be. She's the boss's daughter after all but he can't help it when she shows her desire for him. The two of them don't have much time together since the mafia world is falling apart around them. Natalia is wise beyond her years. Antonio is loyal to a fault. Will they ever find a way?
This book is a real page turner, because when you are reading it, you can't stop turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. Warning: this book ends in a cliffhanger, but this book is worth it. Bella Love-Wins has written an outstanding mafia romance with this one, with lots of drama and suspense, and just the right amount of love and steamy hotness. I can't wait to see what happens next with Natallia and Antonio!
This new mafia series is gonna leave you wanting more! Antonio is the most trusted man to Romano, but what happens when he commits the ultimate betrayal? Natalia is the Boss' daughter, and heading down their rocky path can only lead to heartache and pain. There are some good twists here, and the book ends on a cliffhanger. I didn't feel quite the connection to the story and characters that I was expecting, but I am looking forward to the next part of the Saints of Sin series!
