Found Family x Mafia x Dark Romance x Slow Burn x Amazing Characters?? Where has this book been my whole life!?!?
This book had its dumb moments that really riled me up, but the author's exceptional writing made it up for me.
And the characters? *chef kiss*
Rico De Santis is a man you will hear about in the comment section of every single fucking wattpad book. This man owns wattpad. He is the king of all wattpad men. And the fact that he isn't even the main character of the book says a lot.
Dom, Vincenzo, Faith, each and every character has my heart.
*not me getting teary eyed again*

4.9 ⭐
i don't even know how to begin. this book gave me WHIPLASH. this book grabbed my heart, threw it on the floor and stomped on it and then put it back. it left me broken and wanting more. i just absolutely love this book so freaking much. this is not my first time reading it but i still felt the same way as i had with the first time. i finished luciano last night but i had to sleep it off because i was definitely not in the right mood nor prepared enough to think of the rating.
during the first/middle parts of the book, i was considering 2 ⭐, maybe a 3+ ⭐but then around the end i started to question my decision because the more i read, the more interesting it became. more stuff started happening, more plot twists and more angst. everything just builds together slowly as the story progresses, and explodes.
also the chapters were so incredibly long [i think there were a few chapters that had 10,000+ words] and overall it was a long read but i don't regret it one bit
ngl i really wanted rico x faith but i get it, faith is reserved for luciano, and luciano only.
rico deserves the world and his backstory is so heartbreaking. if there was one character i had cried over the most, it'd be him. he's been through so much i just want to hug him and if faith doesn't want him, i'll GLADLY have him
the only reason i won't give it a 5 ⭐ is because the author played with my heart so much. i was getting literal whiplash from all the unnecessary emotions i was feeling. and in the middle of the book, there wasn't much happening and it became almost boring. i had to force myself to read on past the boring stuff. but the interesting parts made up for it 100%. it's worth the wait
ah wow this book really gave me a burnout.
for a wattpad book, this raised my standards so much. the plot, the storyline, there was a perfect amount of action, mafia, romance, comedy [rico + vinnie were holding the entire damn book on their back]
the CHARACTERS. oh my gosh don't get me started on the characters. VINNIE. VINCENZO. RICO. DOM. VELENO. LUCIANO. my heart, they have taken it. i've fallen in love with all of them, and it's too late to turn back.

This book. This story. Wow....just amazing. Mafia trope stories are my new vice and the wattpad books in this category are *chef's kiss*.
This story follows Faith Crawford and her unexpected journey into the mafia world with one of the most well known leaders, Liam Luciano. He hated her but vowed to protect her. She wanted freedom but started to make their house a home. This story has action, romance, comedy and is everything I wanted and more. It's not really a spicy read, so for my mild readers, you'll love this. The characters in this story have so much depth and growth, it's incredible. As much as you want the main characters to succeed, you will find yourself rooting for the bad guys as well. My heart truly belongs to Rico. He is 🥵, insane but his marshmallow, comedic timing is perfection. He reminds me of the lighter version of Diesel from Den of Vipers.

by far the best book ive read. all the charcters have you hooked and the events all add up. the last few chapters are the best chapters out of the whole book. it was well written.
liam- he was ok. typical wattpad boy hot and rich, although he really annoyed me and gets on your nerves i guess you could say that he only treated faith like that bc he didnt want to lose her so ill give him that.
faith- literal queen. shes funny and caring. safe to say all the guys in liams house liked her.
RICO- we love rico literally everyone who read the book fell in love with rico. he deserved to be treated better.
rosie- rosie is so wholesome shes literally so cute. rico taught her well.
domonick- we love dominick. its almost like hes ricos brother....

I read this back in 2015 when I was deep into my Wattpad phase and to find it on here makes me so nostalgic. The only mafia romance I’m a fan of and it inspired me to write my own stories and create characters that mean the world to me. I will forever be grateful to this story and it’s writer. Also Rico.

*CHEFS KISS*🤌🏾🤩 I laughed, I loved and I cried. BEST BOOK EVERRRRR!! (but the book 2 is a massive let down soz)

LOVED THIS BOOK LIKE WOW
I loved this book so much like Frederico De Santis has my hearttttt!!! He really deserves so much more!
And Liam and Faith I SHIP LIKE CRAZY
(is it jsut me who also kind of secretly ships Fantasma and Faith but i dont want liam and faith to break up either)
Loved how the mafia trope wasnt cliche at all. All was so intriguing absolutely loved it!!! Will definitely read again.
Rosie!!!! I love Rosieeee!!!
Some of the lines in this book were damnnnn so wise and actually deep. Especially from Michael Luciano....
Is it weird that i really like the idea of the Liam's necklaces, the ones that translated to faith, loyalty, power and one more. I dont know i found them really cool, i want one.....
This book was amazing. The slow burn of liam and faiths relationship, Ricos humor and story.
Rico is definitely my favourite character, his humour,his backstory, how broken he is, his guns and his love for them lol (shoutout to charmaine) and so much more. damn it i just love Frederico De Santis.
Cant wait to read Potere!
I LOVE VINCHENZO DE SANTIS (gosh De Santis men....)
Vinchenzos video to Liam and Faith in the end! I loved that!!! Peters grave deserved it ;p
Would totally recommend!!! I will reread!!! No doubt!

Favourite Wattpad story. Although I disliked the part where the main character didn’t get enough sympathy. I mean she endured some real shit. But the girl who was insecure always got everyone’s sympathy? I mean I’m insecure myself but cmon the Mc stayed strapped to a chair for 3 days straight and had hardly got the support she needed after that. It might be the fact the girl is Rico’s (love this guy, he’s my fav sorry Liam) love and his brother and him are very nice to her. BUT I HAVE TO SAY IT OKAY, EVEN THOUGH IM CURRENTLY REREADING THE BOOK, WHAT ABOUT FAITH. Um so I’ve just went to look for the chapter I’m talking about and I can’t find it so someone please tell me if I’ve mixed up books or not and if not what the chapter is called. But I may or may not be a fico shipper so 🤨 if ur gonna fight me 🤺 get back
I give u permission to fight when Liam isn’t being a bitch to faith.

gonna keep this short but it was an okay read. i LOVE RICO SO MUCH. also Vincenzo & Micheal, literal dilfs. Rosie also. basically i read the whole book just for them. it was so long and i kept putting it off because i got bored of it. finally finished and i don’t think i’m going to read the second book. at least not anytime soon.

This literally one of the best book on wattpad ofc in mafia genre . The plot is intriguing characters (RICO) are amazing bonding is awesome and just not like other mafia stories liam the head of mafia is not abusive to faith and RICO is just everyone's fav character because no doubt he is the best .Looking forward to book 2 . I'll definitely recommend u to read this book

Leaves you hanging at every word... Perfectly plotted.

Rico desrves everything. Like I’d fucking kill and die for him a million times, the first book is good and ends well I suppose but the second one..omg- trauma. I had to take breaks constantly because it starts with uh well…

This book holds a special place in my heart!! It was my first wattpad mafia book and sis let me tell you, it did not disappoint ok. This book is why my library is full of mafia books. This book is the reason for my unhealthy obsession with mafia men and I am not ashamed 🥵

The book was good but I feel like it just lost the plot and switched up along the way

i did not expect the major emotional toll and attachment this story gave me

One of my fav mafia novels. Loved the MCs and the side characters have a spot in my heart. Still feel lots of emotions because of this book

HIGHLY RECCOMEND
I love this roller coaster of a book. I loved almost all of the characters, the storyline, writing, setting, etc. The only thing I didn't really like was FIAM being put on the "back burner" for a lot of the story. It also started started to feel like Liam was just a side character and not a MC sometimes. Tbh I feel like if there was less Rico it would have been better but I still enjoyed it.
Side notes:
-Unpopular opinion I dislike Rico. (Yes, he's been through a lot but it doesn't excuse his actions. I was neutral at first but the further I read the more I disliked him)
-Really Long chapters
9/10 Highly recommend.

This book is one of the best mafia books I have read on Wattpad. The plot is interesting, the characters are so loveable you form an attachment to them from the get-go, and the speed of the story is fulfilling.
Yes, there may be a little too much side plot in some chapters but they add to the character growth and development so it’s not going to bore you to death.
All in all, I would definitely recommend.

👏WHERE👏DO👏I👏START👏 this masterpiece of a book slowly grew on me and by the end when there was tears rolling down my cheeks did I realise, that this book had taken the title of my favourite Wattpad story. I will always recommend this book and if your unsure when you start it stick with it I’m telling you it will get better once you get into it but yeah, Liam, Faith, Federico and a few others have my heart (I won’t spoil it for you 😏😏)

I thought this was really cute to read, I thought that the development of love between Liam and Fi was really cute and loved seeing how protective he became of her. I thought her friendship with all the boys was so nicely developed. I did think some of it was a bit far fetched - particularly with her family - why were they not more shocked about it all when they came home??? But overall a great read I was gripped by and kept coming back to

sobbing 🥹🥹🥹 always been a book i will come back to forever because it holds such a special place in my heart.
although a wattpad book with a few (a lot of) cringeworthy pieces of dialogue, the storyline is often wonderful and so so beautiful. faith & liam will remain in my hearts forever, and rico & dom are my most favourites.
can’t wait to reread potere because i just know it’ll be a five star; even better than this one.
