Dante Beretta

Unseen Underground #5

by Abigail Davies

She was the daughter of the enemy, but that didn’t stop me from claiming her.

One night.
That was all we’d had together.
But it was all I needed to know that nothing would ever be the same again.

The first time our eyes had locked, she stole a part of my soul.
The second our lips touched, she owned every piece of me.

She’d taken what didn’t belong to her, but I’d given it freely.

And then she was gone.
But so was I.

I’d betrayed my brother, and now I had to serve my punishment.
I moved to the other side of the state, making my own way within our family business—the mafia.

I tried to put her behind me.
I tried not to think about the way her body had felt against mine.
But it was almost impossible.

Six painful months passed. Then it was time to go home.
Time to reclaim my place by my brother’s side.
Time to accept the role I’d been born into.
Time to become the underboss.

What I hadn’t expected was to bump into the woman who had occupied every thought in my brain.

She was exactly how I’d remembered her but…
She held a secret. One that would change the course of both of our lives forever.

We were from opposing worlds, but she was mine from that first night.
I had to do whatever I could to protect her.
But with a father like hers, I was putting us all in danger.

They thought they knew me, but they had no idea the chaos I would cause just for her.

Nope. This was bad. Basically like an adult wrote a weird mafia fan fic for wattpad

[KarenLou NorthandSouthBlog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dante beretta.


I want one of him please. Yes I’m aware he is mafia, yes I know he is a ‘bad guy’ but I still want one.


When he makes a huge mistake he runs from the family, drowns his sorrows then works on showing everyone he can be the underboss everyone believes he is. But he has one night with Navy, one night and it changes his life, not that he is aware of the change straight away.

Navy. Quiet, shy girl. Her dad works all the time so she is pretty much left on her own, when her best friend drags her to a party she decides she wants to leave before she even gets there. A chance meeting with Dante, put her life on a path she never expected it to be on!

Ok, so there may be a little bit of an age gap between them, but I think Navy is an older soul in the world after losing her mum she had to grow up in a world without her as well as her dad who works away more than she is ever at home.

I love the fact that her dad and Dante are ‘technically’ enemies. Because who doesn’t love a family feud.

And of course I love been around the beretta family…… even if they are Mafia.

Im excited for Romeo’s story!

This is an age gap romance… After a one night stand Navy
finds herself in an unfortunate situation and decides she needs to take action. Dante is the younger brother of mafia boss Lorenzo and has been disgraced but he has proved his worth and is now back in the fold. He sees Navy again and his life and world literally turns upside down. It was interesting seeing seeing their relationship develop… I have really enjoyed this book and it was good seeing past the rest of the family again.

3.25/5 ⭐️
2.25/5 🌶

Tropes:
- One Night Stand
- Enemies Daughter
- 10 Year Age Gap ~ 28 &18
- Mafia Romance
- Secret Pregnancy
- Emotional Scars
- daughter of an FBI agent
- brother of mafia boss
- she’s still in high school

POV: first person - dual

Type: interconnected stand-alone (book

I’m sorry but every time the hero mentioned his “monster” coming out was just laughable. “Monster” being his inner demons but it’s the way he said it on repeat that I couldn’t take serious.

The epilogue could have been better. The ending was anticlimactic.

[Laura Reads Too Much · Rating 5 out of 5]

Damn!!!!!!!.....

Abigail Davies has smashed it with Dante!

He is now my number one in this series - that man can do whatever the heck he wants 🤤


Dante is the younger brother of Lorenzo who now runs the Beretta Mafia. 6 or so months ago, he messed up big time and his brother sent him away until he learnt 'how to become a soldier' - it's a pity, Lorenzo knew nothing about the real Dante because what was going on behind the scenes? Sad!!

Anyway, the night he left, he had a one night stand with Navy, neither knew who the other was, they just had this pull towards each other and enjoyed it.

Well it wasn't just memories they were left with.....

He's back and she's trying to escape her dad who turns out to be Dante's enemy - oh it's all go!


A really good read, had me glued. I loved getting more of Dante's mum - that woman is such a sweetheart 💞
I would've liked to see more of Sofia and Aida but maybe that's just me being greedy 🤷🏻‍♀️

The ending was over too quickly imo, I definitely wouldve liked that drawn out a bit. But overall - I really really enjoyed it.
Definitely recommend







*,I voluntarily received an arc and this is my honest review. 4/4.5 stars

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

YES YES YES!!! Abigail is back with a bang bringing us little brother Dante next in line to being the Beretta King and running their world behind big bro Lorenzo.
After an unexpected mistake that threatened to break the family apart Dante is all on his own until he can prove his worth. Its in the destruction time that Dante meets Navy.
Navy is nothing like anyone hes met before and the sparks are flying instantly between them...but its definitely all not plain sailing after that first encounter.
This story has bumps, twists, kick ass characters, fireworks and drama galore!! Alongside a person or 2 that you want to throat punch badly, what else could you want in a book??
Devoured this story in one sitting as couldnt put it down! Would highly recommend this and all others in the series too.

[one_more_chapter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Underdog or underboss? Dante is back from exile, and I'm rooting for this "dark horse" with everything I've got! He is flawed, and has certainly burnt some bridges, but he is ultimately a man who earns his redemption, and then some. The Beretta family have unity, and loyalty down to a science, and their ability to pivot, and be there for one another shines as they embrace and adapt to whatever is placed in their path. I adored the time I spent getting to know Dante and Navy better, and hope to see more of them in future Unseen Underground novels.

[Chubby Romance Reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed it

Good lord was this book suspenseful at times and had me worried lol. It was a forbidden, secret baby, age gap read, and was spicy a few times. It spanned about a year and I love that we got to see Dantes and Navy's first time meeting each other. There was a somewhat hinted at plot twist in the book that ended in a cliffhanger and it makes me want the next book in the series ASAP!

[Madeline S. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everything you want in an age gap Mafia secret baby romance I loved Dante and Navy’s relationship the insta love they have for each other. The relationship they develop because they are going through everything together. The plot was great the spice was good and I really liked the side characters.

[Jill Kirtley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dante Beretta: Unseen Underground #4 is a dark Mafia romance that’s thrilling, steamy, and oh so sexy. Dante Beretta is hot and passionate but ruthless and unforgiving, especially when Navy is in danger. It’s a fantastic read, and series, that you won’t want to miss!

[gregory · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was pretty good.

I really liked this book. The reason for my 4 ⭐ review is that some of the M Mafia elements didn't ring true, like lack of bodyguards. The love story was nice and sweet.

[Molly · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you’re contemplating reading this book, I found it to be an easy read and fairly enjoyable so I would recommend. To say this is a dark mafia romance, it is on the light side and the spice is roughly 🌶️🌶️/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. I found the spice was lacking detail and was not explained, often during the book it would just take you straight to the scene or afterwards and not include detail or build up. It would have also been nice for the writer to include the relationship between Dante becoming a new father and the connection he shared with his son, the book did not detail this once and all responsibility was often left to Navy. It would have also been nice to have read more about Navy and her father towards the end of the book. I didn’t feel like the MC’s had an amazing connection and I feel if it wasn’t for the pregnancy they wouldn’t have reunited.

[-]

Didn’t read it fully I skipped many of pages. It was bad. The girl was literally 18 and was still going to high school and dude was 10 years older than her, but you couldn’t even really realise it considering how he acted. I didn’t understand much from this book. This one scene where the gun gone off from itself she literally blamed him for that, even though it was her fault and she was just insecure because of what her dad told her about him. The dude was literally 30 and he didn’t act like a man. He was clueless. Then the girl is naive. The scene in the hospital like girl how are you so clueless the moment you saw this woman who want to take your baby. Literally this book was something else. And I’m thankful that I didn’t fully read this book and just skipped. Didn’t like it.

🫐 Dante Beretta 🫐 by Abigail Davies

This book has such amazing tropes! This is the story of Dante and Navy.

🫐 Cleans up her wound
🫐 10 years age gap
🫐 One night stand
🫐 Surprise baby
🫐 She's mine
🫐 Suspense
🫐 Enemy's daughter

I loved how the hero's entire family got around to helping the heroine since they met her, being her support system and family. Dante is your average J/P mafia man who steps up once he learns about his baby's existence.

The ending was a bit abrupt but I am sure it will be resolved in the next book. Mafia story written well, and the author was sensitive, since most of the book was centered around the h's pregnancy.

Spice level 🌶️🌶️
4 🌟

[WhiskeyandReading · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another tiktok success for me. To me, this is a new author and this won't be the last book of hers that I read. A night of passion turns into a life of changes. Dante had to prove himself to his family and in the end he did just that. Navy had to grow up and grow up quickly. I loved the romance and the angst was perfect for this couple. This may have been a romance but it was so much more than that and I loved it. When reading the book I did not realize there were books before this but honestly it was okay. I will go back and read them. This was a great book and I can't wait to read more books from this author.

[JenMcJ · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an average story. I didn't find it especially romantic nor intimate between Dante and Navy. I also struggle with finding the romance in a pregnant and desperate 18 y/o with nowhere to go and no options. This also relies on a lot of very unlikely coincidences which always feels lazy to me.

A 28 y/o guy having a one night stand without using protection also seemed the height of immature and that was my impression of Dante through the whole book.

I didn't hate this story but there is anything to gush about here.

[Lucie · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.75 ⭐️

Mafia, secret baby, accidental pregnancy, Age Gap, touch her i'll kill you" are some of my favourite tropes so i thought i was going to devour this book, the character building could of used some work aka, Dante's over the top anger issues and Navy being a liitle bit of a pick me in some of the book. This book also rubbed me a little the wrong way as she had just turned 18 and he was 28, only 10 years but she was in highschool during this story time line. I think overall is was a good idea but not the best executed.

[Munazzah · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 ★★★☆

Dante & Navy were cutee andd Dario!!
Veryy insta love tho— it was fine.
I so did not forgive Navy's dad even tho he helped get her back later on 🙄
There could've been more about Dante, Navy & Dario tho!!
ALSO WHEN DARIO WAS BORN IN ENZOs OFFICE WITH ALL THE GUYS AROUND OMG 😂😂😂😭😭😭

You could read it or skip it!! Some might like it some might not!!

Tropes:
Fbi Dad, Mafia Baby Daddy (Underboss), 10 year age gap, Insta-Love

[katherineeee · Rating 2 out of 5]

a very average read. while I didn't hate it, I also didn't really enjoy it. I kept reading waiting for the one scene I saw on tiktok which lead me to reading in the first place. all in all, I struggled to see the connection between a dante and navy and the whole story seemed to be one unlikely coincidence after another.

[Jenna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another fantastic addition to the series!! I loved everything about this one from beginning to end. Dante really changed his spoiled ways and revealed a hidden part of himself. And Navy was an incredible heroine who showed great strength throughout the whole story. Lots of drama, action, and a little cliffhanger on this one.

[Mallakay · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a light mafia book. I enjoyed reading it. Dante's relationship with Navy is much healthier than in other books. He is the definition of "touch her and I'll kill you"
It's also beautifully written and an easy read perfect for a quiet evening or warm day.

[Michelle Ford · Rating 5 out of 5]

My Boy!!!

I was waiting for his story!!! Dante was exactly how I knew he would be. And Navy, whew, she ain't taking any of his lip. Even with the age gap she shows her power. And is Romeo just turning into Mr. Ultimate??? I'm ready for his book!!

[Catie Busen · Rating 3 out of 5]

missing parts

It was a good story, but a lot of parts were missing. Like the biggest part that pissed me off is the apology from her father. Why did we skip that?

[bobamami · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a decent read, but a bit average compared to other mafia books I’ve read so far.
