The dark was never so good I am The Boss. I am not the monster under your bed, I'm the one dragging you into mine. I make the rules and punish those who break them. I am good at my job. I arranged a marriage of the darkest kind. A business deal to align myself with a powerful family to start a war. The contract is clear. Be my wife in public and strangers in private. And then I met her. Jasmine Rossi. Reluctant mafia princess and rebel without a cause. Strong, brave and foolish. Soft and vulnerable, with curves in all the right places. A siren in combats, ready to do battle. Now I’ve changed the rules and she has no choice. She can fight me all she likes but we both know it’s a losing battle, for her, anyway. I renegotiated our contract to get what I want. To control every part of her and mold her into my ideal woman. One night off a week but the rest are mine, and I intend on doing everything in my power to bring her in line. She may hate me now, but I’m used to that. I will take that passion and use it to my advantage. She is a business deal and must accept her fate. The business of becoming my perfect companion without compromising my heart. Love weakens a man and gives his enemies a way to destroy him. They take what you care about the most and use it against you. It’s why we’re taught not to feel. To shut away our heart to survive. I have only one weakness and it will probably be the death of me. Set my sister free from the most powerful mafia boss in the world right now. There is only room for one knife twisting in my heart, and I am not about to let another one in. I’m about to start a war. Dark, dangerous and full of depravity. This book will wrap you in shadows until you can’t bear the light. Scenes may upset some readers, you have been warned. Bleeding romance and suspense, this book ticks all the boxes. High heat and scenes not for the fainthearted. If you love a dark Mafia romance, you’re in the right place.
Straight forward story with no twists. Love story ok. You have to read all the books to find out what happens to the sister. I skimmed a majority of the book. Skimming the next few too just to find out what happens. If you have to buy the book, don’t. I didn’t dnf if that helps.
Did I miss something. I’m really not getting the float of this series. It’s like it fell off a cliff. The story doesn’t expand off book 1 with Winter being kidnapped. This book is basically a soft love story, no Mafia actions. I mean Angelo supposed to be a Don but all he does is meet, marry and fall in love in 1 day, and is completely under her spell throughout the book. We only hear Winter’s pov in chapter 37, the last chapter. I guess story is good for people who like this kind of stuff but if you say a dark mafia romance, that’s what I’m expecting. I read nothing dark or mafia, just a straight love at 1st sight. Tbh, I skipped mostly all of Jasmine pov and I only read Angelo when I saw Winter or the Club Mafia mentioned.
Club Mafia takes you into Angelo and Jasmine's story. When he was at the Academy plans were put together for him to seize power and to do that, he had to align himself with a powerful family and boy did he! He connects with Jasmine when he sees the treatment, she receives for defying her father. Their fate is sealed, and Jasmine becomes his wife. She will be the catalyst that brings down her father. This story is filled with emotional twists and turns that will keep you glued to this story as they unfold.

Club Mafia - The Boss by Stella Andrews is book Two in the Club Mafia Series. This is the story of Angelo and Jasmine. Jasmine is a Mafia Princess whose family is very abusive especially to her. But she is strong and Angelo sees that. Angelo has just become the Boss and he is needing to build more allies which he can do with a good marriage match. The two come together to be a force to be reckoned with but their attraction runs hot. Enjoyed.
🔥🔥- okay, I was a little judgy on the last book. It’s definitely a series. I see the characters will get their own books but the story continues through out all of them. I will say for a mafia book they’re a little tame but still a good read.
Absolutely riveting! This book took over every spare moment I had. It was just as well I finished it in record time. Stella has the talent of making her characters so realistic you can adopt their personalities very easily. This ability is pretty rare and appears constantly in all the books that of SAs I have read so far. I fully intend to correct this very soon beginning with a completed set. I can't stand having to wait for the next book in a series.
It was not disclosed this is book one in a series. None of the issues are resolved in this book. You must commit to read 3 books to get the whole story. I actually did really like this book, but I’m angry that I did not know about it being a series that you have to read in order to get the complete story. That’s why I downgraded a 5 star book to 3 stars. I am not going to read the next books for that reason.
This is Angelo's book, set a few years after Rockwell Academy, the plans made there to seize power are now in motion. As part of this Angelo needs to become a powerful mafia boss, after working hard to gain his father's trust, sets him up and finally puts a bullet between his eyes. He can now put the next stage of his plan into action, and now needs to form an alliance with a powerful mafia family to further this. He selects the Rossi family, ruled by a cruel man much like his father and decides that their eldest daughter Jasmine will do, especially after he sees her defying her father and him beating her. He is initially cold and businesslike, telling her that this is just an arrangement. We meet the other characters briefly as they work together on their plans. We meet Winter again and see how badly her marriage has damaged her, Angelo is desperate to free her but her husband is still too powerful at present. Jasmine helps Angelo with the dissent in his ranks and together they free her sister Daphne, and gain control of the Rossi family after the girls kill their parents. Angelo can't help but fall in love with Jasmine and they eventually have a real relationship. Winters husband Massimo is upset at being out maneuvered and takes his frustrations out on her. The blood brothers are pleased to see their plans proceeding in the right direction. Can't wait for Flynns book next where we get to see the boys next move.
OH EM GEE!!!! Whew!!! What an amazing book. I could not put it down. From the very beginning I was immersed into the dark mafia world and the ultimate secret war room council as well an arranged marriage between Jasmine and Angelo. There are several threads throughout the plot. However, this is written in a way that each thread segues in and out another seamlessly. There are several key players. Each as important as the other. Their parts are all different as is their situation and the part of this country or abroad. *A note: FYI there is physical and emotional abuse, torture, murder, despicable actions and open bedroom scenes. If you are sensitive to any of this please seek another book. This is a true dark mafia story. It not only includes an unexpected romance but shows the dark underbelly of the mafia and how they choose to survive. I look forward to reading the prequel "The Contract". This is a must read. I highly recommend it.

A definite read! Stella’s the best to draw you into her world of fire and ice, honor and betrayal, love and hate and so much more!!

This is Angelo and Jasmine’s story. Jasmine is a mafia princess who is strong, yet vulnerable, while Angelo if focused on becoming one of the most powerful bosses. Angelo enters an arranged marriage to form an alliance to become a powerful business merger. This is a well written story which is an enemies / lovers’ / romance, with passion, intrigue, family, twists, suspense, danger, and love, which leads to a depraved and dark page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The Boss. A fanfreakingtasic read. Angelo is the new don. He and his crew have a bunch of secret ish going on. He needs allies and so he must marry a Mafia princess from another family. Jasmine is a badass in her own right. Her family is abusive, kind of like his. She has a backbone and suffers for it. Angelo makes her sign a contract but in the end he falls for her. As the boss he is sometime mean but he protects her fiercely. They have what each other needs. They battle bad people, a take over and each other. This book is hot chemistry filled, dramatic, WTF angst and so many turns. Read like a movie. I can't wait for the next book.
This the second book in this series is Angelo's story, he is the boss of a pact he and a group of special friends made whilst at Rockwell Academy, and he is the first to execute the beginning of that plan to bring down not only their own families but also the most powerful Mafia man who has his sister. He becomes the Don after his father's mysterious death the next part is to take a wife to forge a powerful alliance. Jasmine comes into his life and turns his world upside down and love was never to be part of it but fate has different ideas, together they make a strong couple. I look forward to the next book.
Club Mafia - The Boss, I could not put the book down, the story was full of twist and turns, making you want to keep reading to to what the next page would bring. This book is about Angelo and Jasmine, what start out as a business deal becomes so much more, I really enjoyed the journey both Angelo and Jasmine had. This book is not for the faint hearted, there were a lot a very descriptive violence, lots of angst, some worry, on the bright side there were sexy time with lots of steam.
Angelo had no feelings. He loved his sister and that's it. The girl he slept with were an only once thing not repeat performance. Until Jasmine inched her way into his heart. Loving is a weakness he can't have. But something changed when he saw how strong his wife was. He married for business and arranged marriage. He has to build his empire and his wife will be by his side. He must kill his sister's husband because he is a deranged man and is slowly draining the life from her.
J’ai beaucoup aimé ce tome sur Angelo car on le voit sous un nouveau jour. Jasmine est un très bon personnage féminin. Les personnages et leurs histoires sont bien écrite.
Angelo est devenue plus mature que quand il était à la fac. Il est plus réfléchi, compréhensif. Il accorde beaucoup d’importante à la famille et à ses amis du club. Il reste quand même froid et calculateur au vu de sa position.
Jasmine est une fille douce, gentille, compréhensive. Elle prend soin des autres. Elle casse même les codes d’une femme de parrain. Elle va tous faire pour comble son mari.
Angelo does a deal with another Mafia family to gain more control by marrying the eldest daughter, Jasmine. But he doesn't do love so his arrangement is purely business until he realises he can't resist his wife. As he deals with a threat from his sisters Mafia husband, he inadvertently finds himself with more power which he hopes will help him release his sister from her loveless marriage.

If you love Mafia Romance, this is the perfect one to devour. It’s hardcore, tough, alpha dominant, Mafia centred, secret society, it’s perfectly written and beautifully done.
I am blown away by how much I’m in awe of Stella’s writing. She without doubt my favourite writer of this genre. I can’t praise this book and series enough, entertaining, enjoyable, thrilling storylines. Awesome characters, just outstanding.
I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review
Ok. I liked the book but it seemed rushed. The H marries h for business purposes but they end up falling in love. He is mafia boss trying to rescue his twin sis. She has been taken/ married to biggest/strongest mafia don. H and his friends are setting everything up in order to take him down because he also likes to rape little boys. The h and her sister kill their parents because they are abusive.

Another brilliant book in the Club Mafia series, this one The Boss is Angelo's and Jasmine's story and the start of the 5 friends plan to become the global mafia of all mafia families. Absolutely wonderful, the anxiety is rising with the twists and turns in this book whilst detailing Angelo's "business marriage"to Jasmine. Very cleverly written and I am off to read the 3rd in the series now, I just can't get enough 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is the second book and it picks up with Angelo taking the helm over from his father. Even though the Club Mafia is on full affect, their progress is slow because there are so many steps that they have to make to save Winter from the evil villain. Also Angelo has to figure out which of his soldiers will stand with him or switch sides before it’s too late. There are many twists and turns. Read On!
I like the plot of it but the characters seem somewhat immature in their thinking. I feel like they kind of got away with that in the first book of the series since they were in college but now when dealing with real life the writing seems immature. Overall though the actual story line is very promising which keeps me engaged but some scenes are barely skimmed because it feels like just a lot of filler and not well done.
Angelo and his friends have formed Club Mafia and they are doing everything they can to free Angelo's sister from a psychotic mafia boss. Angelo marries Jasmine as a business deal to make his family stronger. Angelo told Jasmine he would never love her and that what they had would only ever be business. Can Jasmine find Angelo's heart? Or will he only ever have love for the sister he is trying to save?
I thought that this dark romance was absolutely delicious!! Angelo and Jasmine kept me desperately needing to keep those pages turning as the smartly crafted combination of taut drama, tantalizing twist, raw emotions and sultry heat unfurled. These two left me breathless and I loved every second of it. This is my frank, freely posted review.
One of my favourite authors and I absolutely love this book, so to say I enjoyed it was an understatement. I love the facet that Stella writes about these characters short comings and especially the way she captures it. This is an easy five star from me.
Young men at school. They form a club. They are broken, but loyal to each other and those they love. This book has revenge, betrayal, hatred, evil, strength, love, goodness and honor. And of course they are all alphas. I really like the way Stella writes. I read this in one sitting. Can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
That was some story...read Cub Mafia The Contract first as it opens up a wonderful world of friends who become brothers who take an oath to take over their fathers/uncles Mafia families to become the head themselves. This is the Boss's journey to finding himself and love. A must read.
