She’s drowning in the darkness. I’m here to pull her deeper.

My name is Vito Romano. I am everything they say I am: a killer, a criminal, a beast.
Until I met her.

Tammy was nothing more than the spoils of war.
I told myself I was rescuing her. But we both know the truth: I brought her here to ruin her.

But nothing in my world is what it seems, and Tammy is no exception.
Behind that beautiful, innocent face is a dark past… and the key to my future.

There might be hope for us yet…
If we can just make it out of here alive.

This is the 3rd book in the series but it can be read as a standalone. This is a steamy mafia read. Tammy and Jessica end up in the middle of a war between a Mexican cartel and the mob. Luckily, they are rescued by Vito and his people but Vito plans to keep them close. Sparks soon fly between him and Tammy but can he keep her safe? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steamy. Great characters and a story with lots of twists and turns. I liked it.

This story was hot, dirty, sweet, romantic and made me angry as well. I loved all characters and you could see their true nature. Vito was hot as heck and so so possessive even though he did not know what he really wanted. A HEA,Both non virgins and no cheating.

The addition starts with the book cover….yeah…yeah…yeah don’t judge a book by its cover they say ….well we all do it and this one here it is the scratch to your itch or better yet the filling to your oreos! Speaking of filling…..wait, that’s for later. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with!
Bad boy….check
Bod boy’s crazy brother/friend…check
Bad boy’s Kryptonie…check ….check and check
By the time you’ve figured out who is who and how deep hate can run, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter!
Can’t say I didn’t warn you.
Vito another superb dark mafia romance which I love it is full of suspense, danger and plenty of action surrounding Vito and his crew. Tammy and her friend are caught in the middle of Vito's crew and the Mexican cartel wanting to take over but they wanted a part of a very cruel, dark and dangerous and becomes more dangerous after being ambushed by the Mexican cartel. Vito has no choice but to save both girls but one of the girls isn't acting normal after witnessing murder and that intrigues him so much that he decides to keep her. Vito and Tammy's chemistry from the moment they meet is explosive as they are both drawn to each other. Tammy refused to be intimated by Vito and the passion that builds between these two is volatile and they need each other. Tammy tells Vito about her past thus waking up that protectiveness in him and it becomes his mission to protect her from all/any harm and he finds himself thinking about her all the time and feels things he hasn't felt in a long while if ever. Now Vito finds himself drawn to protect her and try and saves his family and friends and throw in betrayal within his organization and let me tell you the shenanigans these guys get into will test them and prove to them who they can/can't trust will Vito allow Tammy to prove her strong enough help save her new found family and will they find they can have a HEA trough the violence? I laughed, I screamed, I fanned myself, I cheered, and possibly flipped through every emotion possible. It was an absolute wild ride from the beginning to the end.

⚖️⚖️SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION⚖️⚖️
Holy hell! Naomi just flipped my lid, tore through my mind and then dropped kicked me into the deep end of this dark decadence and blowing me away, keeping me riveted and frozen to my seat, blasting this baby to life spectacularly. Chicanery runs rampant and betrayal is rife, rocking this action packed, hard hitting, heart pounding, pulse racing, adrenaline pumping, block buster, putting our characters through their paces, pulling them deeper than they could have ever envisioned. Tromping through minefields of daring drama, damning deception, unnerving intrigue, escalating danger and spiraling suspense, maneuvering through the dark cunning manipulations of vicious intents and malicious actions, kicking ass and dispatching foes, propelling this baby to staggering heights. Limitations are heightened and exploited, exposing the ruthless facts, deals and debacles, igniting a fierce determination with such fervor and vigor, wrapping this baby up sleek, shiny and tight. The raw magnetism, undeniable attraction and sizzling chemistry collides with such intensity, exposing deep emotions, drawing our characters closer, binding them to one another perfectly. The characters, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits, adding depth and diversity, transforming into formidable personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and vivid descriptions that feel as though you were transported to ground zero with them. Remarkable job Naomi, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.

Sometimes you just end up in the middle of the storm even when you don't intend to

Vito is the third book in the Dirty Dons Club series and I am finding each book in the series is getting more interesting and intense. This is the story of Vito and Tammy and it is off the charts with danger, violence, suspense, secrets, family and so much more including more than a few twists that you don't see coming. There is the Mafia family, the Mexican Cartel, a couple innocent women who end up in the middle and one giant (and I do mean giant) of a Mafia soldier. Both Tammy and Vito are interesting characters that are well developed and fit each other well.
This was a very enjoyable book that I would recommend to other readers.

I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This book brings us Vito Romano, a mafia soldier and Tammy, who happens to be at the wrong place when the Mexican Cartel shows up. Enter Vito, who saves Tammy and her girlfriend. He sends her friend to a different location, and keeps Tammy for himself. He really doesn't understand his connection to Tammy, but feels there is something there. However, Vito's plans don't go accordingly, and Tammy's friend is held hostage by the Cartel. Vito promises Tammy that he will get her friend back, and even though it takes some time, Vito accomplishes his mission. I enjoyed the fact that Tammy was a strong individual, and I just love when big old Mafia men meet the women who change them. I highly recommend this book. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

Tammy and her girlfriends end up in the middle of a fight between the Mexican cartel and the Mafia. Vito shows up and ends up taking the girls to safety but decides to keep Tammy close by. Vito has no reason to want to protect Tammy but he feels a strong connection. The more time they spend together, Vito knows he can't let Tammy go. He wants to protect her but can't understand the feelings he has.... This was a really entertaining read. Well written with plenty of drama and suspense. Great characters and plot.

I'm not enthralled with the story. I am a fan of Naomi and the premise of this story was interesting,. Mafia boss capturing cute bartender after an altercation with the Mexicans that puts her life in danger. But the dubious consent threw me off from the get go and I had trouble liking the story after that to be honest. It is a personal opinion of course.

Vito is a man truly devoted to his uncle and friends, even though the laws of mafia world bind you to stay loyal, it is in his nature. When he just finds a girl and says he wants her, that is soooo out of character. I could not stop laughing and thinking of various ways the story could go to. I am very content with what I have read haha.

Vito and Tammy's Story

This is an interesting and entertaining book. Vito is a strong and loyal leader and learns to love Tammy. Tammy has demons from her abusive childhood, but she is brave and loves Vito.
The many mob members are entertaining. The girl friend Jessica is annoying and shallow from the first pages, from the moment that she couldn't just stay in the closet during the gun fight with her mouth shut
This is worth reading.

It is a darker themed mafia romance and if you love your men on the naughty alpha side and your leading ladies with a side of sass and plenty of steam, romance, mystery, and twists and turns to keep you enthralled until the very last page? Then I recommend reading this darkly decadent read!

Good Mafia read about Vito, the future DON that sees Tammy during a shoot out with the Mexican Cartel, and decides he wants her and saves her and her friend Jessica. He decides to keep Tammy with him in his room and enjoy her while he sends Jessica to swanky hotel with two of his men. When the Mexican cartel strikes back and kidnaps his men, Jessica and the current DON, its up to Vito to make sacrifices and save them.

The story line was intriguing with lots of action, suspense and betrayals. The chemistry between Tammy and Vito was intense and passionate and I loved the snarky banter between them. The characters were well developed with depth, heartbreak and scars. I loved the strength and passion in both Tammy and Vito and the lengths they will go to, to save each other and the people they care for. A must read!
