Mafia Light Box Set

by S.C. Daiko

RELEASING NOVEMBER 18TH!!!

Three books for the price of one!!! For a limited time, bestselling author SC Daiko brings together her mafia light romances in a box set with an extended Christmas epilogue.

BRUTE “a hurricane of a story! Intense, steamy and some dark secrets,” Stina, Book Haven Book Blog.
BEAST “a wonderful story, that will pull on your heart strings and bring tears to your eyes,” Susan D., Amazon Vine Voice reviewer.
BRASH “Unlike any romance novel I’ve ever read - in a great way - Brash is a love story that has a truly unique voice,” Jeeves Reads Romance.

BRUTE
Daniel Collins. Single Dad. My neighbor.
He's the rudest man I've ever met.
Cold. Arrogant. Reclusive.
He's so volatile everyone calls him the BRUTE.
I should stay away from him...
but I see what he's trying to hide...
see past his hidden pain...
see the dark past threatening to destroy him.
When we touch, he unravels me,
and the oceans set alight.
But play with fire, and you will get burned.
A fragile heart can easily be broken again.

BEAST
I've been sold by my own father to a BEAST
Gleb Sokolov is the definition of a savage.
He’s an animal in bed and everywhere else.
A ruthless Russian Mafia boss, badass personified.
And my father just sold me to him, to pay off a debt.
But there’s something Gleb doesn’t know,
and I’ll do anything to keep him from finding out.

Eva Petrenko
Sassy, secretive, trouble with a capital T.
She drives me damn insane.
Except, when her father offers her to me, I find I can’t resist.
She belongs with me, even if she refuses to believe it.
Eva hates me, but I’ll go to the ends of the earth to protect her.
Problem is, her father isn’t the only one with debts…
and mine are the kind I’ll need to pay with my own blood.

BRASH
Brash, aka Ben Collins.
Notorious playboy.
Drop-dead gorgeous.
But rude, impetuous and condescending.
He calls me ‘little girl’ and I hate him.
Except everything changes when our plane crashes
And I’m trapped with him on a deserted island.
I see right through those indigo-blue eyes.
Brash is damaged.
But that doesn’t give him the right to be a douchebag.
I’ll bring him to his knees
… if only he’d stop making me weak in mine.

Aly, aka Alyona Abramovich.
Mafia princess.
Beautiful and alluring
She isn’t the spoiled brat I thought she was.
There’s an innocence about her
which calls to something long buried.
That’s risky for a man like me and a woman like her.
I’m a dirty bastard at the best of times
And this isn’t the best of times...

Reviews

[Rhiannon Hall · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read these books individually and absolutely recommend them and what better way than a box set!

Brute by name Brute by nature ....or is he?

Both Daniel and Catrin have had an awful few years I will even say one more than the other 😢 when Catrin and her daughter moves next door to Daniel and his son she is quite taken back by Daniels brutish attitude and decides to stay away from him but how long will that last after all there is only so much the young Welsh girl can take before she'll need to give him a piece of her mind but what she could never see coming was her giving him a piece of her heart but she doesn't know who he really is!

Daniel on the other hand warns her to stay away from him and does everything he can to keep her at arms length he can't allow her to get close to him as all is not what it seems and if she finds out the truth things will change and most probably for the worst!

I absolutely loved this book Sc Daiko nailed it yet again!

I 100% recommend this book ❣

BEAST
Yet another 5 star read from S.C Daiko!
Beast is Gleb and Eva's story we first meet Gleb in Brute his brothers story and I recommend you read Brute first for the full story of the brothers.
This book is well written, fast paced and full of action. I loved every word written as I always do with S.C Daiko's books they really are amazing books and Beast didn't disappoint worthy of more stars I loved it.

BRASH
Another 5⭐ read from S.C Daiko!
After reading the standalone series (they are all connected but can definitely be read as standalone) Brute, Beast and Nanny and the Bratva Boss, I could not wait for Brash and it did not disappoint.

It's very different from the rest of the series as they are more about the mafia than Brash's book, it dabbles a little but not so much that it could be called mafia genre. It's based on two characters that don't really like each other in fact Brash aka Ben infuriates Aly but when they get stranded on a remote island they have to work together to survive. Can Brash become more than his name or does he live up to it and can Aly (mafia princess) be more than the pampered little girl that Brash thinks she is.

A 1 click must that is beautifully written, fast paced and all round great read.

[Tai Nelson-Barnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brute: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Two people that have known loss become neighbors and their kids become great friends. But the adults don't like each other very much at all.

Daniel has an attitude that beats them all. He wants nothing to do with his beautiful neighbor and her cute daughter. But his son has made a friend, and he will do anything for his son. Except give his heart away.

Catrin has just moved in, and she is ready to move on from her husband's death. When she meets Daniel, he comes across as a well brute. But his son is adorable and gets along well with her daughter. And she will do anything for her daughter.

I enjoyed this story. Catrin and Daniel's story is different but good. It was great to see other characters from SC also. I am excited to see where the next book goes.

Beast: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Eva and Gleb's story is one for the times. They meet one night in a club by chance. He thinks she is a hooker, and she lets him. Two years later, she is taking care of his child that he knows nothing about.
When Eva finds out that her father has sold her to him to cover the debt that he can not cover, needless to say, she is pi$$ed. Not only does she not want any part of this, but she doesn't wish to Gleb to know about his son.
When Gleb saw her picture, he took the chance that he could sleep with her again and walk away. But when she fights him at every turn, he has to know why. But it doesn't take long for his enemies to find out about her.
Will Gleb do anything to save her and his son?
Another great story by S.C.! Loved it!!

Brash: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love these enemies to lovers romance nice story. S.C. brings a tale of a mafia princess and a multi-billionaire to life with stranding on an island that neither one of them would ever want on their worst enemy.

When Ben and Aly are in a plane crash and are stranded on an island together, they will have to deal with each other to survive until someone can find them and save them. However, is there another party involved that was trying to kill them?

This book has some beautiful characters, and the chemistry is off the charts. I loved it and will be rereading it.

Beast

Gleb and Eva's story grips you from the first page, it draws you in and demands your attention.

Unbelievably Raw, Devastatingly beautiful and Amazingly Written by a wonderful author who's books always make me want more❤

The way that s.c.daiko writes makes me hang on her every word, The book are standalones but making reference to the characters from previous books warms my soul.

I well and truly fell for brash, the same way I fell for Brute.

I think Brash is my favourite yet

This set is EVERYTHING! I'm talking lust, fear, betrayal, action and suspense. The men and the ladies that love them through everything made this set such an exciting reading experience.

[Dora Harvey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic box set!! These were really HOT Mafia stories, and you will be missing out if you don’t read them. I couldn’t put them down—they were that good—enemy to lovers! These books were packed with suspense, drama, kidnapping, sex and intrigue—letting you know what to expect later. But they were also entertaining, captivating, humorous at times, heartwarming and emotional. The characters will fascinate you and frustrate you at the same time.

BRUTE
Daniel Collins (aka Alexei Sokolov) changed his name after an incident occurred in Russia, then moved to London with his 5 year old son, Ben, after losing his wife. Catrin also moved to London after her husband died. Catrin lived next door to Daniel with her 5 year old daughter, Becca. After Catrin meets Daniel, her brute of a neighbor, she found him to be cold and arrogant. Being a brute seems to keep people at bay because Daniel has some dark secrets and a dark past. Daniel soon found that he is enamored with Catrin. One encounter is not enough—the heart wants what the heart wants, and without giving away any spoilers, emotions get very complicated. This book will take you through an emotional journey of trust, commitment, and love.

BEAST
Gleb Sokolov is involved in the loan shark business. He has a reputation as a badass who makes people sweat. Gleb met Eva Petrenko in his night club and mistakes her as a hooker when he catches her in his office. One thing leads to another, and then he gives her money to leave. Eva’s father owes Gleb money, and he offers his daughter as payment until he gets on his feet. Gleb finds that he like the feisty, sassy, and obstinate beautiful woman. Opposites don’t always attract, or do they? Destiny seems to have brought them together again—and their story is one you will want to read about. Gleb and Eva both have secrets that they do not want each to find out about. Will their secrets be revealed, and if so, what happens next? There are several twists and turns within the storyline that will pique your interest—you will not be disappointed.

BRASH
Brash (Ben Collins) is in his late thirties and is known as a playboy, a multi-billionaire and luxury hotel developer, worked hard, and because he was duped previously, he does not do relationships. Brash and Alyona (Aly) Abramovich did not get along too well when he first met her at a wedding. Aly is a photographer, but also a wealthy Mafia princess, and the daughter of a Russian Mafia kingpin. Aly’s father is very protective of her and she lived a very sheltered life. Aly was determined to prove to her father that she could make it big as a photographer. Brash accompanies Aly on a trip and are put into a situation that brings them closer together for survival. Their chemistry is off-the-charts. Find out what dangers they incurred and how they handled them. Will they risk everything and fight to be together? Loved the banter between the two, humorous at times, and the way they come around to their realizations at the end was well done. I am a sucker for a bad boy with a heart of gold and this story has him in spades. There are several twists and turns within the storyline that will pique your interest—you will not be disappointed.

S.C. Daiko you did it!! You delivered a no holds barred Mafia romantic suspense books that grips readers to the core as you unleashes an unfiltered, suspenseful, addictive, intriguing, and calculating Mafia love stories. I would highly recommend this box set!!

[Charlene · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mafia Light Box set includes Brute, Beast, Brash and an extended Christmas epilogue.

Book one, Brute. Daniel Collins is the village Brute, a quiet artist who lives in a cottage with his son Ben, hiding from a past life he would rather forget. He likes the quiet, and to keep to himself, but when Catrin moves next door with her daughter Becca and their feisty dog Toby, he finds himself interested in learning more about them. As Daniel’s son Ben soon makes friends with Becca, Daniel begins to find himself at Catrin’s door more often which leads to an afternoon tryst that soon turns into so much more. As they grow closer, both of their pasts begin to come to the forefront, and Daniel wonders if she will forgive him for lying to her. Will the couple be able to stay together through all the lies? Or will Daniel’s past be enough for Catrin to end their future forever?

Book two, Beast. What starts off as a one night stand between a drunken Eva Petrenko and club owner, and mafia boss, Gleb “Beast” Sokolov ends up with the young girl pregnant and living with her parents, and desperately trying to forget that night even happened, especially when she find out just who it was with. Gleb on the other hand has been searching for the feisty temptress for the last two years, so when one of his clients, with late payments, offers them his daughter as repayment, he is shocked to find her at his doorstep. As she tries to help her father, and keep her son a secret at the same time, she attracts the attention of Gleb’s rival, Vadim. Will she be able to hide her son from Gleb? And what will happen to her if Vadim gets his hands on her?

Book three, Brash. Ben Collins aka Brash, who is the son of Daniel from the book Brute, and Alyona Abramovich aka Aly who is the daughter of the mob boss who took over Gleb’s job from the book Beast. Though this book can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the other books first since it will help with some of the background story. Ben is now an adult, at thirty years old he’s a multi-billionaire and the owner of an exclusive hotel chain. Aly is a twenty-two year old pampered mafia princess, trying to start a career in photography. When Ben meets Aly at a friends wedding, they don’t exactly hit it off but he offers her a job to come to the Maldives to take some new photos for him to use as promotional ads for his hotels. Things are tense between the pair until they crash near a small deserted island and are forced to work together. Over the time spent together, the chemistry starts to ignite between them, and when they finally give in to the growing feelings between them, Ben puts aside his brash attitude. But when tragedy strikes again, and the pair are forced to fight once more, will they be able to survive once more?

[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved these excellent stories. Each one is full of action, tension, mystery and love. I highly recommend them all and here’s a chance in this box set.

******

Brute:
Brute is a story that grabbed my attention right from the beginning. The main characters were complexed and both had broken pasts which drew them together.

There’s terrible heartbreak, dark secrets that must be kept for safety and steamy bedroom action that develops into deep love.

This was a captivating mafia/romance, with well developed characters and storyline. I was wholeheartedly invested in the characters Daniel/Brute and Catrin, and their rocky journey to happiness was riveting and very entertaining. A great read!

******

Beast:
A great read!
The story has many thrills.
Gleb (Beast), he’s a Russian mafia boss and Eva meet at his club “Lure”, and have a steamy, one-nightstand, but it ends up more for Eva than she bargains for. Fast forward, Eva then finds she has to work for Gleb to pay her fathers debt which leads to more interesting adventures.
There was plenty of twist and turns in this enthralling story. Eva was a plucky woman, she stood up well to “the Beast” and Gleb was a tough guy but tender too, I began to wonder where he got the moniker Beast from at times.
Overall, a good, fast read, great characters, little predictable perhaps, but entertaining none the less.

******

Brash:
The story of Alyona and Ben, and they’re not particularly fond of each other. Aly is a mafia princess and very sheltered, her father is a Bratva boss and very over protective, but Aly is a great photographer and hopes one day to make a business for herself with her talent and agrees to go to the Maldives with Brash to photograph his resort.
And Ben - nicknamed Brash. A hotel multi billionaire who seems to succeed at everything, failure just isn’t in his vocabulary. He’s a player, he likes a good time, but he’s jaded by love and work is his true mistress. He see’s the potential in Aly’s work and what she could do for him.

The story is told in dual POV which I liked.
Things went well at first but the plane crash’s and Aly and Ben find themselves stranded.
I loved how they took their dislikes and angers for each other and their situation to trying to make the best of what they had and ultimately becoming friends, plus more....
An entertaining read. Great characters and a very unique storyline that was very written. I loved it! I highly recommend this book!

This is a boxset containing 3 of my favourite SC Daiko Maffia stories

Brute

Both Catrin and Daniel have been scarred and broken from losing the loves of their lives. Ending up neighbours they find themselves more and more drawn to each other, but they’re both trying to fight it. Will Daniel’s secret break them in the end?

Cat and Daniel have great chemistry together, the story is both heartbreaking and enthralling and I couldn’t get enough!


Beast

The story of Gleb and Eva. Gleb we have met before in Brute, but now we get feisty protective Eva thrown into the mix. Being sold to Gleb to pay off a debt by her father, she’s stuck with Gleb. However she has a secret that she keeps closely guarded to her heart.

Again, great chemistry between the leads! The relationship between Eva and Gleb may seem extremely rocky at first, there is a great progression in it. While a maffia story, not too heavy on the topic, which to me made this a very easy and enjoyable read.


Brash

Ben and Aly are up next. Being involved in a plane crash, the end up stranded on a deserted island together. Aly being a slightly spoiled maffia princess, together with womaniser Ben, seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Can they learn to work together, or are they doomed from the start?

Not my favourite of the bunch, if I’m honest. But I did like the premise of the story, love a good stranded on an island trope. And what I appreciate in SC Daiko’s books is the slower, more realistic progression of the relationship, which was definitely very clear here!


While all these books can definitely be read as standalones, they do all have reoccurring characters, little connections to each other peppered through the stories, and I loved that. They all feature a strong delicious alpha male and strong-minded women. Highly recommend this boxset!

[Helena Gant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brute:

I have never been more excited for a book to be released! Having read all of SC Daiko's books, I knew this one was going to be fantastic. I was not disappointed! Brute is everything I was hoping it would be, and more! This story has it all. Suspense, action, humour and romance.

Brute is a intriguing, captivating book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It will definitely grab your attention from the first page and holds your attention to the very end. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mafia themed and slow burn romances.

Beast:

Boom SC Daiko does it again!! Beast is a MUST READ mafia love story that will blow your mind! Gripping, suspenseful and certainly unpredictable. The plot is very well thought out, and the writing is fast paced and flows so smoothly. It has some unexpected twists and turns, with just the right amount of romance, hot steamy sex and action. What more could you ask for?! You need to read this book!

Brash:

Loved it! Another fantastic book by the ever so talented SC Daiko!! The storyline was incredibly clever and very well written. It will grab your attention from the very beginning. I liked how the story unfolded with suspense and just enough details to keep one guessing what would happen next.

I absolutely love Brash & Alyona. I love the chemistry and connection between them. They were definitely pushed together and were faced with obstacles the island threw at them. Though the experience made each of them stronger and find their HEA.

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beast
Holy Beast! What a read! One of the best reads of 2018! My first book by SC Daiko and it won’t be the last. Definitely a one click author. If you want to read a book with an alpha badass who is protective over ‘what is his’ and a female that is sassy with that caring nature and all the feels and twists and turns ... READ THIS BOOK!! Don’t miss out. Off to read Brute now ;)

Brash
S.C. Daiko is a 5⭐️ 1-Click Author!

Brash is a ‘lighter’ read than S.C. Daiko’s other mafia books but just as good! A great read that I finished quickly because I didn’t want to put it down. I loved the story and characters.

Aly is a sheltered mafia princess who is still hanging onto her V card because she has a Bull aka bodyguard following her around 24/7. She is ready to spread her wings and follow her dream of being a photographer. Aly meets the handsome, rude, rich playboy hotel owner Ben aka Brash.

It was so much fun watching these two that were attracted to each other and disliked each other at first and then grow to depend on each other and fall in love. There was so many different feels in the book. I loved it.

Brute
S.C. Daiko always delivers 5 Star reads!
If you want a book full of Alphaness, Steam, Love and a book you can’t put down then grab this book. You will love it. Brute is amazing.

[Debra (Dragon Nanny) Phiri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brute:This story is so beautiful! Heart wrenching and takes you to a place deep inside. You can’t help but hope things come together and really want the happily ever after for these characters! It ended to fast as I was so involved in this couple/family!
Beast:SC Daiko has a gift for story telling! I was hooked from page one and when it ended, I wanted more! I was so involved that it ended far to soon! Deep, strong and wonderful characters that make you root for them and have hope for their future!
Brash:Brash is a standalone romance but has characters from some of her other books (Brute, Beast and Nanny and the Bratva Boss). It’s like a family and friend reunion! I love that if you haven’t read her other books it is ok as the story is great on its own. Aly and Brash are put into a situation after meeting that brings out their need to communicate and survive together. When you read this you want to smack Brash upside the head a few times. He brings that out in you. Aly is a lot stronger then people give her credit for. When the situation is over and her family gets involved she has to prove she is able to do life on her own. What they discovered together is put to the test and just may mean that together is not going to be easy. Brash is a full on sizzle of a read as well as having the elements of suspense and of course lots of love!

[Kathy Seabrease · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brute:

Every Book SC writes is Fantastic!

This is the 5th book by Siobhan that I have read in less than 5 days... I am devouring them...read one of them twice... Daniel and Darrin despite their pasr and heartache have found each other...with the odds against them, they find a way for love to conquer... Additional bonus... Crossover characters from 'Nanny'... Love that!


Beast:

Another book I couldn't put down!

Glen was a man's man... Full of fire and confidence, even though he lived on the edge...Eva was a frightened girl in a woman's body... Thrown into a situation that chartered a secret course of her life...Sold like a piece of meat...a necessity to save her family... Only to be sold to the one person that she harbored her secret from... Loved the overlap of character of Nanny!

Brash:

Siobhan did it again!

Aly and Ben... Enemies at first... Ben aka Brash, with his being crass and aloof...Aly just trying to make a name for herself in the world... He thought she was a shallow princess... She thought he was just an was... But he was giving her the opportunity to show her skills...little did they know what fate held in store for them!

[Gladys · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a terrific box set of romances. Brute is a really great read! This is a heartwarming and spicy read. Daniel and Catrin have amazingly hot chemistry. A poignant story of loss, pain, enduring, and letting go and moving on. A very entertaining and pleasurable read. Beast is a real page turner. The gripping storyline offers readers lots of steam, emotions and twists. Gleb and Eve make quite the couple. He is all alpha male and she's sassy and spunky. Together they generate plenty of heat and sparks. I love a book that gives a dominate hero that has a tender side for the woman he loves and a heroine that is totally strong enough to stand toe to toe with her man but can also embrace the needs and desires that man brings out in her. An entertaining plot that has lots of drama and action make this book is a absolute keeper. Brash is wonderful read. This entertaining read delivers a welcome combination of steam, drama, suspense, twists, danger, action and emotions. Lots of sparks and banter fly between Brash and Aly. I really liked the evolution of the relationship between these two. From enemies, to castaways working together to survive, to surprising friends, to lovers. There was a lot of personal growth for these two during this fun story. This is my independent, impartial review.

[Danielle Marlowe · Rating 5 out of 5]

SC Daiko did a great job on this box set. Brute, Beast and Brash were great stories. Each story was written well with strong plots that had many emotions. The stories were packed with suspense, action and more. Catrin and Daniel, Eva and Gleb, Aly and Ben were strong characters. They went through a lot, their journey had many bumps but they were made for each other. They were drawn to one another, the connection was strong between them and their chemistry was off the charts. They were great together.
These were great stories, I enjoyed this box set. I'd suggest reading.
Thank you, SC Daiko. Great work :)

Was an enjoyable read. I felt though it dragged at times and failed to keep me invested in the words
