The Fausti Family #8
King of Roses
There’s no place like home, and after so many years of dodging trouble and fighting for our lives, there was no place I’d rather be—putting down roots in our small town, living the life I’d always envisioned for us.
After my husband decided that he wanted the same, we knew it would be a transition worth making, even if we had to break ties with his powerful family. But when monsters have a taste of blood, nothing will stop them from having another, no matter how long it takes or how powerful your family is.
It was now or never, and for the last time, I’d fight to the death to follow the alignment of my stars. They always led me home, not to the man the world called a Beast, but to the man who had always been my King of Roses.

King of Roses (A royal organised crime romance) by Bella
5 ⭐️🤍🤍🤍🤍
“If I ever accept who I am and what it means, it’ll be because I do it on my own terms, not because it’s something that exists in my blood.”
My favourite mafia series has come to an end. Every book in this series has blown me away. It is the most special series/story I’ve ever read. It’s is true love. It’s passion, attachment, weakness it is everything you feel when you love someone. You feel all of this when your reading any of these books. I would say this one more than others. The way Bella writes it poetic. She draws you in and captivates the beauty of this incredible world and even with all the darkest in the end it all shines. I have felt every emotion reading this series. I have cried many times, when the story hurt me it hurt me a lot. I will never get over Mick I get why Bella did this but doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
Things that happen in this book hit me differently. I felt very emotional reading it. Scarlett in the book has a different side to her. What she goes through and what Brando does to himself. It’s a lot. But I understood why. There love is so deep. Deeper than the ocean.
A little about King of Roses without saying too much.
🦁 Brando has to make the biggest decisions of his life. He chooses to leave Italy and he chooses to take his family back to where it’s started in Louisiana. They go home! God it makes me so happy to say that. He takes his ballerina and 4 children home.
Obviously them going home has its risk. With Nemours still out for revenge and the stones being in Louisiana the Fausti family have a long way to go to get there HEA. I found this book to be very intense, maybe because it’s the last book. But Bella definitely keeps you on your toes throughout 😆 so much happens over the years. There is loss and so much love.
Maestro 🖤 Elliot 🖤😭
They have been away from America for a long time. They have drifted to a different life so coming back to a very slow normally life takes some time. There relationship with old friends isn’t the same which actually annoyed me a bit. Scarlett and Voilet were sister and now they are strangers in ways. This book is full of growth, Brando’s family have changed throughout the years but when they go back home they realise this and want to live a good life where there children have a childhood away from the mafia life.
There is a lot of drama in this book. If there’s woman there drama and I live for it.

This book just isn’t on one couple it’s on the all the people in the mafia Fausti family. Rocco, Romeo, and Dario all Brando brothers, his very powerful father Luca. They all play large parts in this series. They all have there own relationships some more messed up than others. Some are arranged marriages. There would is very real. The crime, the violence. Reading this series was like watching a movie. You get every detail and this family draws you in and you can’t be pull out. I’m very sad Brando and Scarlet’s story has come to end. I loved being in there world. I loved being a part of there obsession for each other.
It’s so refreshing to read a series where the couple truly love each other from beginning to end.
I have to mention Rocco.. god he is 🔥everything a mafia boss she be but more. He is married to Rosaria. His father picked her for him. There marriage was arranged. They didn’t marry for love and omg you can tell. It’s just brilliant get a small of part them. I absolutely love her. She is so misunderstood and I now need Bella to write there book.
Also Mitch is now in an MC.!
Weekend Warriors I can’t believe it. That guy has been though it all. I’m so happy he found his place in this world.
“You give me mercy; I’m saved. You keep it close to your heart; I suffocate. I’d die without you.”
The most incredible love story I’ve ever read.
I will never get over this series, I will never stop speaking about it. This series has ripped my heart out of my chest and nothing will ever replace it.

King of Roses
(The Fausti Family #8)
Written by: Bella Di Corte
When a series, in this case a saga envelopes you, takes you in and makes you part of the characters lives it is hard to see that it is ending. You know these people by their pet names, you mourn when there has been a character loss; you really are part of these stories. So it’s been an emotional few months preparing for King of Roses to go live.
With our introduction to Brando and Scarlett, Maggie Beautiful, Mitch, Mick and Violet, to Luca finally being released from prison we have followed them through their Beautiful Years. It was only fitting that this saga not only does the characters justice but give the readers the ending they need. Author Bella Di Corte has done that in spades. She has created a story that brings back memories from Man of Honor and Queen of Thorns through to Law of Conduct, Di Corte has explained, cleaned up and set her characters up for an ending that will keep her readers happy and her characters always fresh in our minds.
King of Roses focuses on Brando and Scarlett and the family moving back to where it all began in Natchitoches, Louisiana, leaving Italy behind and coming home. Of course, coming home isn’t going to be as easy as it sounds. Brando has taken advantage of making his own decision to walk away from being the head of the Fausti family; his grandfather Marzio Fausti offered him years before. Just as there was danger in Italy, there is potential danger in Louisiana.
With the children getting older there will be times protection is spread thinner than it would normally be. Heads need to stay clear, eyes need to stay open and tempers need to keep under control.
There is plenty of worry, unease, and fear; but there are moments of humor, and wit and so much love. You may spend several chapters on the edge of your seat and you will cry, some of those tears in worry some in celebration. Throughout this whole book however, Author Bella Di Corte has made sure to tie up any and all loose ends. She also gives readers glimpses of what is to come for some characters. The possibility of two of our favorite families combining sits within two or three different situations.
I will never say good-bye to Brando and Scarlett; I will just say I will see you again.

Wow! Just Wow! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! What a perfect end to this beautifully emotional journey that is the Fausti family saga! I'm not sure where to even begin. Where the last book was likely the most dangerous and violent of the series; THIS One, though it has its own share of trouble and strife, is the most tragic. It will ultimately break your heart, steel your breath and leave you in tears before putting the shattered pieces back together to make you whole again. Like it's predecessors, it is an emotional rollercoaster, but with the biggest, deepest drop yet!
This book, like all the others in the series, is beautifully written. Bella Di Corte's words are like poetry. I know of no other author today who can write about such mundane things as an average day in a family's life, where there are no villains, threats or troubles to contend with, and still keep you riveted! So imagine, if she can turn a tender moment between father and child, husband and wife or simply family interaction in to something so beautiful that it keeps you turning pages, imagine what she can do with the troubled times, with times of danger or tragedy. Bella has a way with words that paints a picture so vivid, you feel as if you're there. But it's not just the vibrant pictures she can paint with her words, it's all the textures of the emotions she weaves through that picture so that you feel it as well as see it.
The Fausti Family series, stands apart from any other series I've ever read. Unlike other same couple series that tell a story of how they meet, fall in love, and get their HEA after going through some troubles or breakups; THIS series, is an epic saga spanning many years in the lives of Brando Piero Fausti and Scarlett Rose Poésy Fausti ... From their beginnings in small town Natchitoches, New Orlean where a young teenage ballerina named Scarlett meets Brando, it takes you to the ballet and opera houses of Paris and Italy where Scarlett performs as the "etoile" ballet dancer; then you'll be taken to the vineyards and Venetian canals in Italy where half brothers (before unkonwn), as well as the rest of the rich and powerful Fausti mafia family are met. You will travel to the bright lights of New York City, the islands of Fiji and Greece and places in between before returning home to Natchitoches. And on this journey you will experience their life from that first meet to the birth of their children and beyond along with all that happened in between ... all the threats and dangers they faced; their joys and tragedies and their great love and perseverance through it all. You will meet all the friends and family that are a part of their lives and you will feel like you are one of them as you read.
This series is listed in the mafia romance genre, but honestly, it cannot be pigeonholed into just one genre. It stars out as a small town, YA romance, but this saga evolves with each book; it becomes something more ... Suspense, Danger, Thriller, Mystery, even a touch of the Paranormal. Yes by the 3rd book the mafia element/family is introduced and it begins to fit this genre more with each successive book, but through them all, there is one theme that holds true. Ultimately, it is one of the greatest love stories I've ever read! Or perhaps, a beautiful story of the greatest love! Either would be true!
If you've read my reviews on the 7 previous books in this series, you'll know that I think each one is amazing, but Law of Conduct (book #7) I considered "The best of the best". But this book, King of Roses, the final book, is the crowning glory of the saga that is Brando's and Scarlet's "beautiful years"! That was the initial name when this series started....The Beautiful Years, and it is so aprapos. Yes, they suffered their share of trials and tragedies, but in between they lived life and created beautiful memories! And Bella has such a beautiful way of reminding us of just that towards the end of this book! Do we get an HEA at the end? In a sense. The greatest and final danger to them has finally been dealt with and we leave them in a peaceful place and time. But this is their life story, and that life has not yet ended. So while Scarlet's and Brando's story ends with this book, there are still stories to be told in this world where they might appear...stories about other family members, stories about their children (HINT, HINT! Three words mia Bella ... Saverio and Mia, please, please! Ok ...that was 5 words, but I'm sure you understand!!)
I received this book as an ARC (but I also purchased it as a pre-order). This is my honest and voluntary review! Final word...READ THIS SERIES! Out of the 5 stars allowed...I give this series 100 stars! I can't recommend it enough! You will love the journey and at the end, have a new favorite author!

I'm sad the series is over, I'm going to miss Brando and Scarlett. These two had the love of a lifetime, even love is not a strong enough word for them. Through everything these two have been through, the growing up they had to do, to living apart, to never being apart. They taught us the reader what love is. This series will take you on the most amazing ride, one you will never want to stop. Loved this whole series and family. I'm hoping we get a next gen series in the future.

Holy smokes! King of Roses and the entirety of the series has damaged me emotionally-in the best ways.
At the end of book 7, I was left feeling hopeless because I’ve always wanted Brando + Scarlett to live a simple and happy life in their house on Snow. This didn’t seem like a possibility with the turn of events in their lives, simplicity is too far fetched, and I really thought staying in Italy forever was a possibility.
However Brando, being Brando, will never be caged. Our King of Roses, a man of honor, will always fulfill his promises to Scarlett and pave a way-come Hell or high waters!
Brando sets out to: end the nightmares caused by the ratto, Nemours, ensure the livelihood of his growing family, and above all else, protect Scarlett to continue their beautiful years.
The saga of Brando + Scarlett is a journey of eternal love in a thousand lives. The ending isn’t really an ending but a moment in forever.
As a reader, I’m fulfilled, my soul has been soothed, and I’m so hopeful for the future of the Fausti children. If Bella ever decides to do a next generation series I’ll be here to gladly read!
*I love how Bella ties in characters from her other books. It’s an immersive reading experience.

AMAZING Emotional Mafia Romance
Bella Di Corte sure does have a gift, she can grip the hearts of readers, while her Fausti Saga plays with you imagination. This final book number 8, King of Roses is a continuation of the sizzling romance Brando and Scarlett share, an emotional storyline. Though out the characters development and the building of the plot I often felt inside the characters head, it at times felt so real and at times heart wrenching. This is not the end for the Fausti family perhaps just the beginning.
Well done Bella Di Corte outstanding, amazing blown away, Thank you Amazing Lady ❤️
From Book 1: If you knew love could kill you, would you still fall?
The moment Brando Piero Fausti appeared in the snow-filled night, he made the blood hum in my veins. With a body worthy of a statue in Italy, he tethered my life to his with an irrevocable bond. He was the most dangerous man I had ever felt. A savage beast lurked just beneath his surface, ready to battle for what he loved the most—me.
Little did I know that he would lure me into a gilded cage with his beautiful words and searing touch. Little did he know, I’d always fight to follow the true alignment of my stars.
Man of Honor is the beginning of an eight-part Royal Organized Crime Romance saga.

When they said that BELLA DI CORTE's writing is like a poetry, it is! I'm in awe in everything she had written. So deep, so brilliant and so romantic. It doesnt feel like it's fiction, it feels like a memoir. One of the best I've read!
I don't want to leave Brando and Scarlett, and The Fausti's world. My mind was lost in Italia for weeks 🥺 I can't get enough of it. 😭❤️😭❤️😭

Phenomenal ending.
This series will forever be a top favorite of mine.
I’m not sure how Bella Di Corte can ever top this romance.
This series took me what felt like ages to finish but now looking back, I wish I could read all of these books for the first time again.
The passion these two have for one another is not something I’ve ever experienced before in all my years of reading. I loved every single moment of this conclusion, even the painful moments.
Must read.
Forever TOP mafia read.
This series will forever be a top favorite of mine.
I’m not sure how Bella Di Corte can ever top this romance.
This series took me what felt like ages to finish but now looking back, I wish I could read all of these books for the first time again.

First Impressions
King of Roses is the finale in the "Fausti Family" series and this is where we see the final book for Brando and Scarlett. This story features where they decide to reside with their family while also maintaining family connections as much as need. We see some drama and a hint of danger in the story in some aspects but also what will test this couple in ways that they can't imagine quite yet.
First Line
Life comes down to choices.
The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Brando
The Heroine: Scarlett
Summary
Brando and Scarlett have left Italy and have decided to come to their home in Louisianna to settle for the long haul. They have four children now and we see them learning to adjust to a new way of life while also striving to repair familial connections. Brando decided to leave the family business and let his brother Rocco take over completely no matter how upset Luca would be. We see how there is a strain happening between Brando and his son Matteo. Brando and Scarlett are having to make adjustments to this new life along with their children.....
What I Loved
The family dynamics in this story is what really appealed to me the most for this book. I really enjoyed the way in which we see this family really come together when it matters. You see them as a family have to make adjustments and its not easy for them. There is also a slight danger plot with "nemours" and seeing what happens and how it pushes their relationship was so heartbreaking in ways. But seeing how the family comes together and help each other heal through the struggles is what really made me sink deep into the story. I did love seeing the future connections for their daughter Mia though and I can't wait to read her book.
What I Struggled With
I felt a bit unsatisfied with how it ended if I am being honest. With how the plot builds for the couple with Luca in the past couple books, seeing them just leave their family like this was a bit disappointing. I really was hoping for something more. It didn't make sense for them to return to the states with how Brando and Scarlett have changed, it felt more like a regression in some ways. And I was disappointed with the conflict in the third act and how they resolved it together.
Overall View
King of Roses brings our couple into their final stage of their journey and seeing them settle in a place for their own peace and be tested in their finale...

How can I tell you how much Bella Di Corte, the author has definitely blessed me as she has taken me through the Fausti Family Saga. I am sad but I am also hopeful that there will be other stories that spring from this the Fausti Family Saga. Let's Review this Book#8 King of Roses: A Royal Organized Crime Romance.
Part 1 City of Masks takes place in Venice.....Check
In this part one Luca still has all of his sons with him at his villa. There is an attack on the Fausti's which ends with the death of Livio. All of the sons were hurt and even Luca ended up in the hospital. Rocco ended up hurt the most but because of this battle the order of the brothers is established. Brando gives up his place to Rocco because Rocco was bred to take over from his father and Brando was raised to be Maggie Beautiful and Luca's son not knowing about his other brothers. Livio tells Brando and Scarlett that he was meant to die with his first wife and to tell Cerise to name their daughter Livia. We find out that Scarlett is pregnant again in part one. The women are divided with Rosaria and Carmen one side and Scarlett and Juliette on the other. Brando lets his father know that him and his wife are going back to Tuscany for her to have her baby where she had the other children. Part II Unmasked (Takes place Eight Years Later)
Youngest son Marciano (Means the Hammer) named because Tito told Brando if he had a son he would have named him Marciano. So the next child Marciano Leone Fausti is now 2 years old. Brando children are as follows: Mia the oldest and only girl, Matteo and Mariano are born less than a year apart, which is known as Irish Twins but Aunt Lola says they are Italian Twins, and we have Marciano the youngest. Brando says Matteo and Mariano who were both born on Brando's birthday August 11, are born to lead. Dimitri part of the Security Team marries Livio's widow Cerise and is dedicated to raising Livia as his own daughter. Mia we find has a love for dance unlike her mother who had the natural ability and grew to love dance because it was a natural extension of her.
Part III...HOME..Takes place in Natchitoches, Louisiana
Brando has brought his family home and they all have to readjust, especially his oldest Son, Matteo who was missing Italy and his grandfather who he truly idolized and his cousins. Romeo moved back to the states to where is wife's family lives. Romeo and Brando are close and Rocco and Dario are close. Rocco stays in Italy where he is being taught by his father Luca to take over one day when he is no longer alive or able. In this the third part of the books Nemours appears and we find out secrets and lies, which lead to betrayal which cause harm to Scarlett again. This one of the most gut wrenching parts of the book. It really took me by surprise by the turn of events and I guess nothing should as far as Brando and Scarlett are concerned but it did.
Part IV...Eyes Open
Scarlett was hurt and even died while in the hospital but was brought back. Now is the rehabilitation of her life both physically and emotionally. In this part Brando finally gets to rid them of the one devil that has been chasing Scarlett even before Scarlett and Brando married and Brando and his son Matteo, who is the spitting image of Brando both physically and mannerisms, so Maggie Beautiful says, anyways Brando and his son Matteo finally bond. We have the introduction of Saverio Macchiavello, the son of Mac and Mariposa who we met in this part. he is assigned as Mia's bodyguard. Saverio reminds Brando of himself that age and when he talks to him he definitely reminding him of his self and it sorta throws Brando for a loop because Mia is his heart. Having Mia is what convinced Brando he could be a good father.
Part V...Always
In this the final part of this book finds Scarlett pregnant with baby five which she promised to give Brando besides their son that died. Scarlett has Maestro Elliott Fausti their fifth and final child. A son named after Scarlett's brother Elliott who was dead. He died after getting hit by a train. Elliott was unable to hear the train because he was deaf. This the final section of this story finds the family happy and in tact and Brando and Scarlett more in love than ever. Scarlett is dancing again and is now teaching dance classes to children as well as to older ladies. Despite of the themes of Revenge, Forgiveness, romance Rage and Passion I agree with Bella the greatest theme that ran throughout this story was Love, which brought everything together all of these eight books. Can wait for the spinoffs I have a hint that Mia will be one of them and even Matteo and we have yet to have the story of Romeo and Juliette. I love the gift that God gave Bella Di Corte of writing and especially this special family, which made me feel like I am a part of either as a friend or distant cousin, just saying. Brando and Scarlett's story has come to an end but not really but I truly enjoyed the journey Bella and all of those who went into helping her get this book especially finished. Can't wait for the paperback from her store so I can order it and my library of books for the Fausti Saga will be sort of complete or will it.
Such an excellently written book. I would not just take my word for it. If you have read any of her books you should get the Fausti Family Saga Series.
I started rereading this series last year waiting on Rocco's story to come out and so I have finished my last book that I purchased through Bella's store and now I have to read about other's in their influence, like Machiavellian...
I have to say this is my favorite series of all time. Even though there was so much tragedy and tragic situations that Brando and Scarlett had to go through to get to the end of this series but not of their family drama, I am glad that our author Bella Di Corte did not change a thing. I will leave you with Scarlett's take on their family. She is talking about her husband Brando ... "My husband. My protector. My Beast. The father of my children, the love of my life. No matter what. Always." page 449 paperback edition. Bella keep on using the gift that God has given you to write and bring people into your world, the Fausti Family, Gangsters of New York, Vice City and I could go on.

Everything about this book screams "perfect ending". I've never read a series that drew me in like the Fausti Saga and I'm sad to see it end. That being said, I've reread this book three times and it still gives me butterflies.
If you have any questions from previous books you will undoubtedly find your answer in the pages of this text. The saga ends with no cliffhangers and it ties up every loose end. We also get a beautiful glimpse into the potential future life of Mia, and in it a budding story that has me crying happy tears.
Somehow Bella Di Corte makes the connection between Scarlett and Brando feel like a tangible entity for the reader. We feel it, we long for it, we believe it, we can see it and all most touch it. That tangible expression through text is so strong you'll feel like part of the family.
I can't recommend this author, or series enough. I've sent the series to all of my friends! Do yourself a favor; get a blanket, some coffee (or wine😘) and settle in for a saga you will want to read- and reread for years to come.

I've been reading these books since they were called the Beautiful Years and it literally broke my heart to read the last one ever. I feel like I know all of these characters personally and have been with them through every book. Bella wrapped up this saga wonderfully. It was an emotional roller coaster. I cried so many tears. Happy tears and sad tears. I loved reading all about Scarlet and Brando's kids in this book. We get to see more of their personalities and I fell in love with them too. I'm super excited for a spin off book about Mia and Saverio....please give us that book Bella!!!! This book ended just as it should have. It was perfect. There will never be another couple like Scarlet and Brando Fausti. This saga was a beautiful journey. I'm jealous of anyone who is just now starting these books. I would love to read them all over again for the first time. Thank you Bella Di Corte for sharing this couple with us!!!!

I’ve read all 8 books. By the way I named my son Luka after Luca. Lol. I anticipated that Nemours would have gotten Scarlett’s again but I didn’t anticipate the situation. I applaud her for not having Brando put in the position of choosing one of the kids or her. However, she always knows and never says. Aggravating. Also, why is no one blaming Pnina for the whole situation with Nemours? She was the one that tied Scarlett to him with that stupid contract. I almost expected Brando to go back and say he wanted back in to the family as heir to Fausti throne. But this HEA for now anyway, abates me. Very good series.
One question for the author though: Brando seemed far removed from Mari and Mac (Saverio’s parents) but he in fact saved Mari’s life in NY. Was Saverio not told about it?

Throughout the Fausti saga so many road blocks get thrown in path of life and love that Brando and Scarlet’s follow. None more difficult than their own choices and insecurities. Surprises and prizes abound in this richly textured story of revenge, redemption and always love. Such finely crafted words of love to be savored over and over reading in the light of day and candle lit nights.
So be prepared, get a nice glass of chianti and a plate of chicken parm, then settle in to find the best of all in the Fausti saga. King of Roses is the finale and it doesn’t disappoint.
I loved every minute of it and will relish rereading it many times. Bella di Corte is a master of character and atmospheric development. None better at setting a scene and filling it with heat, sweat and tears. Oh, the tears....... happy and sad both. Loved it!

King of Roses by Bella Di Corte. Such a unique and beautiful story; everyone should read it. And not just skim through, you need to sink in and enjoy. The authors’ writing style is so emotional and passionate; you feel the characters as you read the story. I wish everyone could experience the deep love and devotion these characters have for each other. The intimate scenes are described with beautiful detail and grace. And the words between two lovers make my heart melt. I highly recommend this book, series, and author to you. I was graciously given an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Beautiful end for the Beautiful Years
This ending could not have been better, Bella. So emotional. The love, rage, love, desperation, love, pain, have I said love?
If you don't cry one minute, are breathless the next, and want to scream five minutes later, I don't know what book you're reading, but it's not this one.
If you haven't read the previous books, I highly suggest you read those before reading this.
This is the only series 8ve ever read multiple times. And it was so worth savoring.

Amazing
This series was absolutely the best. I have loved Brando and Scarlett 's journey since the beginning. Their ups and downs and all the hardships they endured and remained committed to each other with such strength found in each other was amazing. Passing that same love, committment, and strength onto their children. I will miss reading more about them, but I am hoping that one of those spinoff stories will be about Rocco, and about Saverio and Mia. All eight of these books i will definetly be rereading, they are worth it.

What an incredible journey Bella has taken us on. This book was so gut-wrenching and so beautiful. It is so bittersweet to reach the end of this amazing saga. Brando and Scarlett fought so hard and went through so much for their love, we were able to see their love at their strongest and weakest but their love and devotion for one another was ALWAYS there. This series and Brando and Scarlett will remain with me forever. I am at loss for words, read this series, you will go on an unforgettable journey.

A love story felt deeply
I loved this series the connections to Scarlett and Brando you could feel there love and that they will find each others in every life they live. The reasons I didn't give a five stars to the series was because each book was overlong and I felt beat to death with I love you beyond measures for all time, overlong in poetics, and the children's names where to close as being the same that I got confused a few times. I still would recommend this series you can feel the blood and tears the author put in the series.

Again, I'm not sure where to begin..in the beginning of the saga, a question was asked...If you knew love could kill you, would you still fall? The answer is YES! This amazing ending to an unforgettable saga is worth everything! I found myself gasping for breath, crying and holding on to the fact that despite all, love will find a way when 2 people refuse to give up. Brando, Scarlett and the rest of the Fausti family have given us years worth of love and the fights that come along with it. Enjoy every moment of the beautiful years of Brando and Scarlett. You won't regret it.

Finally got myself in the right state of mind to finish this amazing saga. There really is no comparison to the experience that this series has been. I’ve never read anything like it. I truly feel like I have lived the beautiful years of Brando and Scarlett’s life along side them. I loved every moment and definitely recommend this saga to anyone who wants to read an absolutely beautiful series of books, with good times and bad. It has everything from mafia, suspense, heartbreak, agony, and every heartfelt moment in between.

What a perfect ending for Brando and Scarlett. I have loved with series from the very beginning and these books and characters feel like coming home to good friends with each book I read. I am sad to see their story end, however this emotional and passionate book was everything I expected and so much more. I cannot recommend this series enough. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for my honest review.

King of Roses by Bella Di Corte is book 8 in The Fausti Family Series. This continues the story of Scarlett Rose Fausti , Brando Fausti and their family. This series has taken us from young love to the battles to keep love going to now we see the outcome of fighting for love along with their growing family. Ms. Di Corte writes such great page turning reads that I highly recommend. Loved this book.

Fantastic Writing!!!
I read this book about 5 or 6 years ago and it was a great read then. So I happened to see it again and I thought this is one of those stories you can read again and again. I was not let down. So I read the whole series again. The characters Brandon and Scarlett are so intense that you want to keep reading. Then you start adding in all the other characters and the book takes a different turn. This is a brilliantly written story.

Amazing
I’m so sad to see the end of Brando and Scarlett’s story. This is an amazing way to end this beautiful story that span decades.
I won’t go into details , as I don’t want to give any spoilers, but it has definitely been worth reading the entire series.
Bella DiCorte is a new author for me, but I believe I will be reading Mac’s book as well as the next generation book.
Well done!

I'm so in love with Scarlett and Brando!
Wow...just Wow.. This was a love story beyond love stories. I laughed and cried, I swooned over Brandon as well as the Faustian men. This series has been very enchanting, heartfelt, and heart wrenching. I loved every moment. You have to read all 8 books. The exotic destinations described were so beautiful.
