Royal Mafia #4
Mafia Queen
There once was a girl who was sold to the devil. The devil ruined her. Destroyed her. Turned her into his pretty, broken girl.
But then her savior came. Her king. He pulled her from hell and cloaked her with his darkness—a darkness that hid her from the devil who wanted his pretty, broken girl back.
By saving her soul and stealing her heart, he managed to put all the broken pieces back together, and she finally found the strength to rise from the ashes.
Brave, fierce, dauntless, ready to slay the devil when he comes for her—and he will come— that girl became a fighter.
She became a queen.
And that girl…is me.

Dark, gritty and elevating...
The conclusion to book 3 Mafia king was fast paced, action packed and emotionally charged story of finding an inner strength in survival mode when all your layers have been diminished and destroyed...and the push of a man who's teritorial enough to claim her darkness and joins it with his own.
Belly J writes superbly driven action and her characters are complexly imperfect yet they find their own purpose and validation...
but here, somehow the actions of an anti-hero were a bit of a pushover pressure and I wasn't quite sure that he truly does push things to the outer limits for his Doe (the heroine) for her benefit alone...thus making me question it all over again...

If you haven’t read Mafia King, stop right now and go read that one first. Mafia Queen picks up where Mafia King left off. Doe/Alessia is finally starting to come out of her shell. Antonio is intent on making her his queen, to rule with an iron fist right beside him.
My heart broke for Doe and everything that she has experienced throughout her life, but the change in her in is like day and night. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER. Doe is strong, stronger than most people. Reading about her finding her strength and embracing it is empowering. Of course, it wouldn’t be a book without some drama and suspense.
I was on the edge of my seat and possibly yelling at my kindle at certain parts throughout the story. Mafia Queen gave Antonio and Doe the ending they deserved. I love the entire family so I do hope that we get more of them in the future. Maybe, a story about Lucio.
For anyone who has read this series and loves the Valenti family this is definitely a must read for you. I highly recommend the entire series.

Happy, anxious and nervous doesn't even cover how I was feeling when this book appeared. I was over the moon happy because I wanted to know more.
Bella J has created the perfect series for me to read. As you know, I love to read MC books as well as Mafia books and guess... This series, like the name entitled, it's a mafia one... And a darn good book...
Bella J is, in my opinion, the Mafia Queen. Her books are to die for and her writing is intense, dark and hot at the same time.
Mafia Queen is her latest release and keeps telling the stories of Antonio and Alessia aka Doe.
But let me tell you something. This book is not a standalone therefore you need to read Mafia King first. But if you really want a perfect inside of this series you should read Mafia Princess, Mafia Prince, Mafia King and finally Mafia Queen.
Trust me that you will love this series. And each cover is even more stunning than the other.
I was so nervous to start this book, nervous because I knew darkness would surround it but we will get some light as well?
Sublime, intense, intoxicated... So many words that crossed my mind once this book was over. After reading the words "The End" I was shaking. I was crying. I was a bunch of stuff at the same time.
I was happy for the way this story progressed but sad because it was over.
Superb plot, super engaging, dark and intense. I can't describe how much I love this book. How much the story sliced my heart open and glued it back together.
I can't tell you more because I refuse to spoil but I will tell you one thing. This is, by far, the best mafia series I have ever read. And I do love a good mafia book.
Bella nailed it with this series and this last book was the cherry on top of the cake.
Once I started to read this book I realized that I wasn't going to be able to stop. So much needed to be said, to be explained that made me read non stop.
I'm so glad for the chance to read this and I can't wait for more.
Yes, you heard me. More. I want more. So much more.
Oh Bella. What can I say that I haven't already said?
Nothing. Nessuno... Not a word. Just that you are amazing and an artist.
Thank you for these characters. Thank you for this series. And I can't wait to read another work from you.

This is the book where we meet the king's queen. Fierce, uninhibited and finally coming out in her own. So we meet Doe. The once timid, innocent and always scared Nessuno now with the help of our king, one step at a time, is trying to become stronger in overcoming the cruel demons of her past and as if this was not already a lot on the plate there is the master of her nightmares out there, waiting for the perfect opportunity to get her back.
We see our king trying everything he can to make his Doe stronger and ready, as he believes that she truly is his queen who just has to realise her inner strength. My heart went out for him, Antonio with so much on his plate and so many secrets burdening him. But reading the journey of how he makes Doe into a completely different woman with a sound spine was a beautiful thing to feel and made me love our king all the more. 😍 I just love antonio, he is my favourite Valenti.
But then the thrilling journey takes a turn so abruptly that I was like WHAT!!!!! I was petrified for doe, as circumstances can break the strongest of people and DOE .....OH MY.....I WAS OH SO SCARED AND PROUD OF HER. My heart was definitely beating wildly for what would happen !!!!!!!
Can't believe this series has come to an end. But I definitely am highly intrigued by Lucio, how he always has Antonio's back. He is strong and ruthless yet doesn't care for so called feelings, definitely want to see who would be able to tame a guy like him. Hail to the Mafia Queen💗💗💗

My...MY...My.... is what I thought after reading the Mafia Queen and let me tell you Doe is the Queen because she has gone through hell and back and came out on top. I love how strong she is and how much of a survivor she is. She was a prisoner who was tortured and raped from a very young age until she was saved by Antonio the Mafia King.
I am so proud of Doe in this book. She shows her inner strength and takes back what she had lost and fought her demons and won. Now brave she is doing everything to stand by her King and support him. I absolutely loved Antonio because he did the right thing and took Doe and fixed her up and stood by her side and made her his Queen.
This is an amazing series you have to read from book one and continue the journey as Doe and Antonio fight the evil that is out there.

It all comes to fruition in Mafia Queen. This series is at its best with Antonio and Doe. Antonio has a need for revenge as well as a desire to help Doe gain confidence and thrive as her own person - a strong, confident amazing woman. Action and suspense, blood, sweat and tears this book has it all. Bella J was definitely on fire with this one! You can enjoy Mafia Queen by reading Mafia King first. I highly recommend getting lost in their world by reading the entire series. It's LIT!!!

I was glad to see Doe coming into her own and I kinda liked Antonia better in this book. I liked that he took the time to train her in physical defense, but 2 weeks isn't enough. But, in book land, it was enough for her to take down 2 super bad dudes. In hand to hand not a gun. Boggles the mind.

Thrilling ending to Antonio and Doe’s story
I couldn’t wait for this book to come out to see how Doe and Antonio’s story ends. Antonio avenges the men who ever hurt Doe and promises to keep Doe safe. But Doe is living with a bulls eye on her back, and knows it’s only a matter of when before her ex-owner comes after her. Will Antonio’s training save Doe when that time comes? You have to read to find out and will read this in one sitting.

What a dramatic story! It is about Doe, a 20 yr old woman who was held prisoner, tortured and raped ever since she was 10 years old. Antonio is the mafia leader who rescues her, loves her and wants revenge for Doe's years of abuse. There are many horrific and bloody events (so readers need to be prepared) before there is a final resolution. I highly recommend this book.

A fitting ending. Antonio's crusade to avenge and free Doe from her past and present threat, also freed his soul and helped him to heal and grow and I loved that aspect. I loved Antonio's single mindedness and need for revenge for the wrongs to Doe. How alpha, how protective, how hot! The scene with Antonio teaching Doe to shoot a gun was so raw, erotic, and hawt! Karina's mouth and her overstepping boundaries with Antonio upset me b/c it showed a lack of respect for the boss. Not cool. Karina needed to be put in her place! The final revenge scene with Doe and V was sublime. Yes, so good. That single tear from Antonio- no words, only an ugly cry! Lucio must have a story. I love his dark broken soul so hard!! Amazing, intense, hot series I don't want to end yet.

Last in the four book series and it was good. This is the second half and boy did she take her life back. I know people, mostly women, go through things like this in real life and it just turns my stomach.... doesn't make me sad but pissed off.
There's just one thing I've had a big problem with in the last two books....at times she said she had lived that life since she was 5 and other times when she was 10. She didn't just say the age but remembered that moment.
I do recommend this series even though it has a few little issues... nothing is ever perfect..... now to find what is next

After finishing this book I'm speechless...I don't have the right words to express how much I loved this story.
When I finished Mafia King my heart was so heavy with sadness with everything that happened to Doe/Alessia before she came to be found by Antonio. Even though some would think methods that Antonio used to make her see how strong she really is were (to say the least) a bit unconventional, it was breathtaking to see how she slowly started to accept who she was ment to be since the day she was born - a fu**ing Queen.
I love this series - It was full of funny banter, unpredictable people, family loving siblings that have a hard time showing their love and steamy moments that had me blushing like a little schoolgirl. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series.

It was good but I like book 3 way better. This one for me seemed like it just kept repeating the story line. I like how it ended and how it all came together. Sad to see these characters go.

This one and the previous book in the series were definitely my favourites. There's just something about the story between Antonio and Doe that pulled me in. What happend to Doe was so sad and awful, she's so strong for being able to still continue to live after everything. I'm so happy that in the end she got to experience love with Antonio.
The author's writing is really good, for sure i'm gonna read other books from her!

So Mafia Queen is the conclusion to what was started in Mafia King, and that means YOU MUST READ Mafia King FIRST! And just in case you get confused, Mafia King is listed as Royal Mafia Book 3, and really it's a more enjoyable experience if you read the whole series in order, but I'll reiterate, YOU MUST READ MAFIA KING BEFORE MAFIA QUEEN! I think that should do it for me on my soapbox, so I'll get down now, to get on with it. There's all kinds of chaos swirling around Antonio's family, with a bulls eye painted on Alessia aka Doe, because it's all centered around her. This poor girl has been beaten & abused since she was 10 years old, and Antonio has found out all kinds of new secrets, which he hasn't told her because he wants to protect her. He's doing his utmost to build her up, get her out of her shell, and teach her to be stronger so she can stand on her own two feet while getting the revenge on those who hurt her. Bella J. definitely upped the ante with the conclusion, as the stakes were raised higher, so I was on the edge of my seat, with my heart trying to pound out of my chest. The twists were bigger, so my f-bomb dropping was louder, plus I found myself cheering out loud as well. The finale nearly brought me to my knees, because not only was it darkly intense, but I just didn't know how the hell it would pan out. Well done Bella J, for such a powerful ending to a powerful story! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

I am not crying, you are........
Mafia Queen is the fourth installment in Royal Mafia series by Bella J. I am not sure if Lucio will get his story or not but I can always pray and kneel before Bella to get my wish fulfilled, right? All Valentis deserve a happy ending, right?
Hail the Mafia Queen, is all I can say about this book. While Mafia King focused solely on Antonio's character built-up, Doe steals the show with this one. She rises from the dead, ashes, troubled past, broken self and what a growth! Wow. Dazzling yet horrendous. She has to face her past in order to embrace her future. She has to give in to her desires and nature of submission so that she could be a dominant Queen, but only outside the bedroom for Antonio still rules her soul, mind and body everywhere. What a standoff between the antagonists & protagonists. Bella has a capability to make us loathe the characters she wants, in this case, Vadik. Master V. He has no ounce of humanity left in himself. He's sick, cruel, brazenly bastard! And it'll take an army of Valentis to fight this gorgeous villain who's mentally retarded with his hunger for Doe.
This concluding series is definitely a must read to do justice to our writer's finely weaved series. She has grown to be one of my favorite authors of all time in Mafia Romance Category. With Lorik-Karina, Dante-Layla and Antonio-Alessia (Doe), Bella will steal your senses and morph you into a fictional fantasy. Do not miss the binge reading.

Finally we get Antonio’s queens story! And what a story it is! This book had me hooked. It’s got plenty of drama and suspense, brilliant characters and it had me desperate to know what was going to happen when all the secrets were let out of the bag.
Doe will break your heart. She is extremely easy to like and witnessing what’s she’s been/going through will pull at your heart strings. She’s a lot stronger than she thinks she is but with Antonio there to show her how much inner strength she has, she slowly becomes more confident in herself. I loved Doe, she’s a great character and the perfect match for Antonio and seeing her go from the scared, timid Doe that she was to the strong, fierce Doe that Antonio helps to bring out was the best thing about this book.
Antonio has always been my favourite and this book made me fall for him even more. He’s always had a mysterious, aloof air to him and he’s always intrigued me, I really wanted to get to know him better. The way he cares for Doe won me over immediately and I loved his protective side.
Mafia Queen is another great book in the Royal Mafia series. Antonio and Doe’s story was everything I was hoping it would be.

I’ve read a few mafia type romances and I have to say this one was absolutely fantastic! I was immediately drawn into the story of Antonio and Doe. I would put this on the darker romance side it’s not all cute and fluffy bunnies it’s gritty and raw. Doe is “stolen” from her master by Antonio who is the head of a mafia family. Having now fallen completely in love with Doe he’s willing to do anything and everything to give her a life she deserves and all the love she could ever want. This book has some darker themes lots of killing and blood along with abuse and talk of rape. When Doe’s old master decides to take back what’s his it’s time for Doe to find out who she really is and a dark secret from her past. The book was very well written it was the fourth book in the series I was a little lost with some characters because I didn’t read the other books before this but it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the story. Five stars and a great read!- By Tiffany

This is the kind of conclusion, the kind of mafia story I was waiting for! I enjoyed the previous books very much, but this is the kind of darkness I was expecting from the beginning.
Antonio is hell-bent on slowly, step by step, day by day getting Doe to break out of her shell and own herself. As a person, as a woman who is her own person, not just someone's pet whose only aim is to please her master. And she's on the right path, she's slowly becoming a queen worthy of reigning by the side of Antonio. But in the meantime, she has a bullseye on her forehead and everyone knows her previous owner won't stop until he has her back. Or at least he'll definitely try. And it's sooner rather than later. Did she find her backbone, have Antonio's efforts been worth it, or will she go back to being what she has been her whole life when she's finally facing her tormentor?

There are some great characters in this book, one character in particular, Doe/Alessia, has an amazing, arc transforming from someone who was completely broken to a strong woman. As one should expect in any novel regarding the Mafia there are some very dark themes running through it. It’s an awesome, and I haven’t read the previous novels in this series and so some of the background for certain characters and situations was missing, yet I managed to enjoy this novel with no trouble at all!

What another fantastic read this series really needs to be read in order I enjoyed the previous books but this one was my absolute favorite I was hooked right from the very start and just could not put it down you do not want to miss this one. I just loved Doe and Antonio and really enjoyed the end to their story.

Antonio and Doe have the end of their unforgettable journey to self discovery and love in this book. There is so much happening between and around them. You do not want to miss the action, adventure, emotion and love of the Valenti family.

This is twisted, dark, romantic, suspenseful & action packed. Doe has the strength like no other woman I’ve ever read about. My heart broke for her & at the same time I was smiling f ear to ear for her. This book is a real page turner from start to end. I didn’t really see it ending the way it did, but it fits.
