Benedetti Empire #3
Savage Prince
Gillians Vater mag zwar ein mächtiger irischer Mafiaboss sein, aber er steht bei meiner Familie in Blutschuld. Als ich kam, um diese einzufordern, bat ich um keinerlei Erlaubnis, sondern nahm mir einfach seine Tochter als Bezahlung.
Diese Entscheidung wurde ihm nicht überlassen...oder ihr.
Ich werde sie zu meiner Braut machen, aber ich bin kein Mann, der bis zur Hochzeitsnacht wartet, ehe er sie entblößt und zu seinem Eigentum macht. Sie wird in feuchtem, gründlich benutztem und wundem Zustand zum Altar schreiten.
Ihr Brautkleid wird die Spuren des Gürtels verbergen, der ihr die Konsequenzen der Gehorsamsverweigerung gegenüber ihres Ehemannes beibrachte, aber nichts wird ihr Erröten verbergen, während ihr bei jedem Schritt die Erregung an den Oberschenkeln hinabläuft.
Noch ehe sie ihr Eheversprechen ablegt, wird sie bereits mir gehören.
Hinweis des Der wilde Prinz ist ein eigenständiger Roman, der das zweite Buch in der Reihe des Benedetti-Imperiums darstellt. Es beinhaltet Spankings und raue, intensive sexuelle Szenen. Wenn du derartiges Material anstößig findest, dann sieh bitte von einem Kauf dieses Buches ab.

I just don’t think I can ever get enough of Piper Stone’s books! This is the 3rd book in the Benedetti Empire series and I just couldn’t put it down. This is the story of Gillian O’Malley and Enrique Benedetti. Gillian is the daughter of the Irish mob boss Patrick O’Malley. She is feisty, stubborn, beautiful and wants her own life. Enrique is the youngest Benedetti son and also the one who took his father’s death the hardest. He is dark, dangerous and ready for revenge on O’Malley. He is closed off to love and any emotions. Does Gillian have what it takes to make this bad man see the light?
There are so many ups and downs, twist and turns in this story. One minute Gillian forgets that Enrique is forcing her to marry him and the next she is ready to kill him in his sleep! There is drama, action, violence, passion, understanding, trust, eye opening situations and understanding what the most important thing is. Great story with great characters. I look forward to reading more from Piper Stone! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

November 26, 2021“Savage Prince” is book three in the ‘Benedetti Empire’ series by Piper Stone. This author has a steamy and intense writing style that gives this dark romance her own unique edge. This book can be read as a standalone, although I think it’s even better if you read the whole series.
Roberto Benedetti was a powerful mafia leader in Tuscany, Italy. He was feared and respected in equal measure, and loved by his family, employees, and the families of his employees. He was betrayed by someone he trusted, and was gunned down in a restaurant while visiting New York City. The eldest of his sons was able to determine that there were three men who together planned Roberto’s assassination. Each of those men has a daughter old enough to be married; three daughters, three Benedetti sons. In book one, the oldest son married the daughter of the corrupt Police Commissioner. In book two, the middle son married the daughter of the corrupt Senator. Now in book three, third son Enrique claims Gillian, the daughter of the Irish mafia leader in New York City – the man who coordinated the deadly attack on Roberto Benedetti.
Enrique is the youngest of the Benedetti Brothers. He’s also the most sensitive, volatile, and secretive … and wow, he has some big personal secrets. Gillian has grown up as the only daughter of a brutal leader of the Irish mafia. All she wants in life is to pursue her music and her dreams, but the nightmare that is her family won’t allow it. When Enrique demands she become his wife as part of the vengeance his family decided upon in retaliation for their father’s murder, her father hands her over. As devastated as Gillian is, it’s made even worse by her realization that her father is more agitated by ‘losing’ the confrontation with Enrique than he is about losing his daughter. Her emotional turmoil because of her family members is heartbreaking.
I thought Enrique and Gillian were both intriguing characters because neither of them is simple; they are both complex and multidimensional. I didn’t expect to, but I particularly liked Enrique. Several things happen in the story that I was totally not expecting, and that was a good experience for me as a reader. The story is fast-paced and maintains its momentum from beginning to end. Some of the sexual scenes are rough ones that blend non-consent and reluctant consent. Please remember this is a particular type of fiction, not dating advice. If you’ve read the other books in the series it’s great to see what’s going on with the main characters from them as this story concludes. It’s really such a satisfying and surprisingly emotional ending!

As I have stated before, but will say again, Piper Stone knows how to write a thoroughly enjoyable, exciting, and extraordinarily hot novel. Her latest story, Savage Prince: A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance (Benedetti Empire Book 3), falls squarely into this category! The concept of an arranged marriage, which in this series is also forced, is difficult for me to embrace, yet in my family history it was the practice that was used by all of my ancestors. And, it is a practice that continues to this day in many, many countries around the world. It is not something that is so disconnected from me by centuries that it becomes a fiction I cannot relate to. To the contrary, I have heard stories of how love grew from the fear and anger of being forced into a marriage neither person wanted from grandparents and great-aunts and uncles. The kicker in this series is that Ms. Stone introduces the concept of an arranged marriage as a vehicle for taking revenge and/or seeking vengeance for a wrong committed by a member of the bride’s family, and that vengeance is visited upon the innocent young female protagonists in these stories…the brides. In this case it is Gillian O’Sullivan who is the reluctant bride, and Enrique Benedetti, the determined groom, and what follows is a story of hurt, healing, hatred, anger, enemies facing off, unbridled passion, all consuming desires that must be acted upon, brutal sex, betrayals, and reconciliation. It is well written, in Ms. Stone’s lovely and easily readable style, and is a page-turner that cannot be put to the side until the very end when the catalyst for the slaughter of Enrique’s father is understood. Get this Book!

The sexy as all get out Benedetti brothers and now it is Enrique’s turn so buckle up this will be a bumpy ride with suspense, twists & turns, kidnapped (technically) and delicious darkness. Gillian O’Sullivan is the daughter (the last), her father has no issues with giving her up since it is her duty and all to the family (always the excuse given), she wants to be free of her father but instead she finds herself taken, forced to marry a Benedetto as payment for the death of their father so basically she goes from one very beautiful cage to another just different masters so to speak. Enrique sexy as all get out with a reputation from being cruel without a soul but he is so much more then what he shows to the world however, Gillian has a way of seeing past the reputation to the heart of the man and realizing they both have suffered, both deal with ghost from the past, and both must learn how to deal with the pain instead of just burrowing it deep inside. But will they be brave enough to look past the pain or will fate have to step in forcing him to realize her family means her no good and he will not stand for them coming after her in fact it sends him into alpha protective mode. He cares and love her but isn’t yet ready to admit it, so fate puts him in the position to finally see that she is his light and Gillian has always wanted to be free but what she doesn’t realize is that she really is free her cage has been opened and unlocked she doesn’t see it yet but will these two find some form of peace and happiness on the path they are on?

Savage Prince is the final installment in the Benedetti Empire Series. It's gripping, dark, raw and twisted. A feisty heroine, a dominant alpha male, and twisty plot adds up to one decadent, high octane romantic suspense that will keep you on your edge of your seat. It's unputdownable and riveting. A thrilling and sizzling hot read that kept me turning the pages and glued to my kindle. The chemistry between between Enrique and Gillian was electrifying the heat was seeping through the pages. Enrique was the Benedetti brother to implement the revenge plot against Michael O'Sullivan for his role in the murder of his dad. His two brothers already made a move on the police commissioner and Senator by marrying daughters. Enrique went to New York for the mob boss daughter Gillian and he's not no for an answer. Gillian is sheltered, beautiful, feisty, defiant, challenging, and intelligent. She's pawn in twisted revenge plot, her dad gave her away so that he can retain his empire.
Enrique is handsome, broken, domineering, sadistic, violent, and ruthless. The story is filled with violence, hatred, betrayal, enemies-to-lovers tension, enemies, secrets, suspense, murder, pain, bloodshed, passion, power struggles, doubts, jealousy, kidnapping, lust, attacks, retaliation, lies, rivalry, surprises, drama, pregnancy, mole, deception, passion, action, submission, danger, angst, love, and chalk loads steam. This was a great series it was brilliantly written with extraordinary characters and amazing secondary characters. Ms. Stone has done it again it with this series.

The third and last Benedetti to take his bride, Enrique. He is cold and seems soulless. When he confronts O’Sullivan about his daughter, Michael has no issue with giving her up. After all it is her duty to the family. Gillian was set to be free. She was finally going to get away from her father when this happened. Now she has gone from one cage to another. Enrique comes off as a cruel man with not soul but when she starts to look deep she sees sorrow and pain. These two have pain that they have kept from others. When an accident pushes the families to the brink, Enrique holds no punches. He isn’t about to let her family take Gillian from him, not ever. Her brothers seemed protective, caring but when you read on you see there is a coldness in them. I was a bit shocked about one of the brothers. But then it is always the one you least suspect. Enrique has his moments as his brothers did about being an ass but deep down, he did have compassion and love for Gillian. She just had to make him believe and bring back the light. They are a pair. As much as she wants to be free, she is. She just didn’t see it at first. To have a man that will do anything to protect you is beyond the heart. O’Sullivan started the war with the Benedetti’s and now this will end. I have two things, one I always suspected that one. I was screaming, “I KNEW IT.” And the second, this was a great Christmas gift ending.

After their father was murdered whilst visiting New York, Matteo the eldest son came up with a plan to exact revenge on the three people responsible. The brothers decide to make the three men responsible not only pay for their crime but suffer too. But it's not death or physical torture they choose, no they decide that their daughters would be forced into marriage with them! What better way to gain the upper hand and make the three men responsible pay?
This book continues the story from where the second book left off, Mattoe the eldest of the three brothers has used Catherine to exact his revenge, Stefano has Alexandra the Senator's daughter and now it's the turn of Enrique the youngest son. His target is Gillian the daughter of Michael O’Sullivan the head of the Irish mafia. Michael, like his co-conspirators before him handed over his daughter to Enrique without a thought to how she might feel about it. His only concern was to save himself and his empire. You have to feel for Gillian, and I just love the vows she made!
The story is as dark and twisted as you would expect from the blub, it's an emotional rollercoaster ride for Gillian with lots of twists and turns, intrigue, murder and betrayal. The characters are well-drawn and the chemistry between them is palpable plenty of steamy sex, interspersed amongst all the action. Another action-packed addition to the Benedetti Empire series.

Book one Cruel Prince - introduced us to the Benedetti Mafia Family and the Murder of the Beloved father and the three sons of the family and the plans of their revenge and how they plan to maintain their control of the family empire.
Book two Ruthless Prince - is Stefano’s Story of his taking of Alexandra as his wife against her will! Stefano is son number two he plans to take a New York Senator’s daughter “Alexandra” and bring her to Italy and marry her against her will.
Book Three Savage Prince - and the Final book of the series - is Enrique’s and Gillian’s story. The final bride is Gillian, the daughter of Michael O'Sullivan, head of the Irish Mafia in New York. Enrique Benedetti was a man that angered easily and his temper was lightning fast and if you didn’t fear him then you may as well say goodbye. Gillian found she had no choice in the matter of becoming Enrique’s bride and being taken to Italy. Her father had pretty much sold her to save himself, she learned right there that she had never meant anything to him. The story contains drama, action, passion, violence, trust issues, betrayal, loyalty, importance of family and love. These books were great stories with a lot of action, kept your attention, the characters were amazing, the chemistry was completely off the radar. I strongly recommend this series. One of my all-time favorite authors. I received an Advance Reader's Copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest thoughts and opinions.

Roberto Benedetti was a powerful and fearful leader in the Italian mafia and his family and mafia family loved and respected him beyond measure. But he was betrayed by someone he knew and trusted...betrayed and assassinated in a New York City restaurant. The Benedetti brothers learned the identities of the three men behind the attack and the first two had been dealt with in an unusual "eye for an eye" method of retaliation. Matteo and Stefano have played their hands in the revenge plot (that became love matches) and now it's Enrique's turn to take the daughter of the only man left responsible for planning the logistics of the murder of his father. Gillian is the daughter of the head of the Irish mafia and Enrique plans to take her, break her and marry her, but Gillian is a surprise for him. She's not averse to his rough hands, intense desires and another love match is made. This is a superb addition to the Bendetti Empire series. Each book is a story of family, betrayal, vengeance and love. The characters are colorful, energetic and intriguing and the romance is passionate, seductive and hot. Piper Stone can write an intense and dark romance like no other!

Enrique Benedetti and his two older brothers travel to New York and descend on Michael O'Sullivan's home to demand his daughter's hand in marriage. That night, Enrique claims Gillian at a bar, giving her no time to get used to the idea. She thought she had a future in music, looking forward to her college graduation. Now she will be a wife. Enrique does not believe he will join the ranks of besotted husbands like his brothers did, but he vows to take good care of Gillian. Little do they know what is in store for them, including betrayal and a sweet HEA.
Piper Stone writes Mafia romance like no other author. This last in the Benedetti Empire series ties things up nicely, highlighting the three HEAs. Enrique is a modern man who stands beside his feisty wife, loving her despite himself. This is a good story, well crafted, and truly worth the one click.

This is the story of the arranged marriage between Enrique Benedetti, the youngest of the three brothers, and Gillian O’Sullivan. In revenge for the brutal murder of the father, one by one the brothers have each taken their brides from the three men responsible for the murder. Gillian is at college studying business and minoring in her first love, music. Despite not wanting anything to do with her fathers type of business, she finds herself a pawn in a war she knew nothing about and whisked off to Tuscany to start her new life as Enrique’s bride. She couldn’t believe that her father would be involved in something so heinous but eventually she has to start accepting the facts and her new normal.
This was the third book in a series but works well as a standalone. A thoroughly enjoyable and well written read. My first book by this author but it won’t be my last. Excellent.

This series about the Benedetto brothers was so hot and Enrique and Gillian’s story is no exception. Gillian is the last daughter to be forced into marriage as revenge for the death of the Benedetto father and in this book we find out what it was all about. While I had my suspicions since Stefano’s story as to who the traitor was, Ms. Stone puts up so many read herrings that you start to question. There are so many twists and turns in this story and Enrique has an unexpected talent that endears him to Gillian. This book also highlights that family are not always our best friends and may in fact be our enemy. The mothers, however are sweet and kind and understanding with words of wisdom that help both Enrique and Gillian. A page flipping book that is full of action, passion and a super happy ending.

The third book in the Benedetti Empire series follows the youngest son, Enrique and the daughter of the O’Sullivan, Gillian. She is a college student, aware of her family's mafia ties, but she never thought they'd just give her away to settle a feud. She thought her brothers at least would support her, but instead one tries to kill her and the other is masking his evil intent. Although Enrique has seen his two older brothers fall for their forced brides, he never believed he would fall for the same fate. He has fallen and been betrayed before, so he's certain he's smarter than that. But he doesn't count on Gillian. There's the usual double crosses as well but a good HEA.

Another great 'captive' romance story from Piper Stone! I really liked how the characters evolved as the story progressed. Both Gillian and Enrique have a great chemistry and their romance is quite intense at times, despite how it begins! This really is a roller coaster of a book, with loads of action and suspense, I definitely recommend for any Mafia captive bride romance, it really does tick a lot of boxes and is written really well, i just wish Gillian was a bit more resistant, it frustrates me when the MFC in these situations give up so easily.
Still a really good story though and one i would recommend!

Enrique and Gillian...Wow! This is really a wonderful romance. Enrique is the youngest Benedetti brother and the last to claim his revenge bride. She fights the arrangement but has no choice in the matter and neither does Enrique. He plans to use her for enjoyment and nothing more. Of course, they are both wrong and the attraction wins! The characters are great. Gillian can't believe her doting father would abandon her so easily with little or no regret. Enrique has a secret in his past that threatens to destroy his ability to love. The story is filled with danger and suspense. All three books in the series are built on the same premise with very different characters and plot. Great series but with some graphic sex and spankings.

This is book 3 of the Benedetti Empire and the 3 brothers seeking revenge for the death of their father from the men responsible. Enrique is the last brother to marry the daughter of the O’Sullivan mafia kingpin and seek his revenge to bring him down. Gillian just wants a life of her own and feels abandoned when her father gives in to Enrique’s demands. She hates him and vows to escape. A powerful story with all the tension, danger, twists and turns, betrayals, and the all consuming passion and chemistry that develops between our H and h. Great end to this series and how the brothers all found the love they had been seeking and changed their lives. Love this author.

Wow, exciting and exhilarating, a beautiful love story!
The Benedetti family just wanted to bring their business to the US, but the leader of the Irish mob conspired against it. The last piece in seeking revenge for the murder of their father was taking the Irish leader’s daughter. Enrique was a dark soul and living with a secret tragedy. Gillian wanted her freedom to live her life as she pleases after she graduated but her father sins was hers to bare. On the day she got married, she was almost killed by her brothers who tried to destroy her husband. This story kept me turning pages to see how their love would unfold. The friends Gillian made and the betrayal of her brother was exciting. I definitely recommend this book, it is worth reading.

Family can be unpredictable even in the best of times, but when threatened with losing everything, their true nature is revealed. Such is the case for Gillian O'Sullivan who has her world turned upside down. Enrique Benedetti is set to avenge his father by taking the daughter of the man who set the wheels in motion for the murder of the Benedetti patriarch. This story is well written with some amazing characters, a lot of drama, and hot romance. I personally saw many of the situations in this book coming, but it was a fantastic read nonetheless.

She was his she just didn't know it
This is the last of the Benedetti Family series. It is just as hot and spicy as the other two. Enrique is the youngest of the three brothers. Like his brothers he is out for revenge for his father's death. Gillian is an independent young woman who wants make a life herself, not as a debt payment. Gillian is going to pay for her father's misdeeds. If you like a feisty irish heroine and a true man's man you will like this book. There is some heavy discipline and of course the mind-blowing sex. If you have triggers this isn't the book for you. I loved this book. I recommend this to all of Piper's fans!

The Benedetti's are back and they're coming for revenge. This series just keeps getting better and better! Savage Prince is the story of Enrique Benedetti, the youngest of the Benedetti brothers and Gillian O'Malley. Enrique is from the Italian Mafia and Gillian is the daughter of an Irish Mob Boss. To say this mix is all kinds of exciting would be an absolute understatement. Their story is dark, dirty and full of intrigue. There's surprises, twists and turns coming at you from all angles and completely all encompassing from start to finish. Definitely a 5 star read⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

New Life
I have to say, this was and is a wonderful way to spend a few hours of road trip/holiday travels.
Benedetti Brothers are definitely all about a NEW LIFE.
You can feel the emotions and the chemistry. And I’m totally Team Carmella. You’ll see, when you read this book.
Wonderful way to spend some time.

The conclusion of the Benedetti family revenge series - this one involving Enrique taking his bride from the Mafia Boss in NY. Gillian will fight Enrique every step of the way, but that only heightens the passion between these two. There are a lot of harsh scenes in this book, several near death experiences, but that's what you get when you play around with the mafia. There is a happy ending to the series and it's nice to see all three brides having a friendship with each other while loving these mafia men.

Gillian O’Sullivan is “bartered” to her father’s competing Mafia and is given to Enrique Benedetti. The O’Sullivan Mafia previously killed Enrique’s father and other family members at a wedding. Gillian is a gift to help appease that incident. Since Enrique had lost who he thought was the love of his life, he wasn’t originally interested in her. So much death, deception, deceit, and dysfunction. I really enjoyed the world building, story, and development of the characters. Good read!

“Only with her guidance will you be allowed to return to the light.” Gillian is fierce and fearless. Despite being forced into an arranged marriage, she holds her own. Deep down Enrique is a savage beast lost in darkness. In his world, disobedience is not an option and will be dealt with with harsh punishment. Despite it all Enrique and Gillian can’t stop the electronic reaction they have to each other. Lots of intense heat, suspense and twists and turns.
