Mafia Crown Pieces
“Holy shit!” Jenna shouted releasing her grip on the gun as if it had burned her. She blinked several times as a deep tremor began to run through her, this wasn’t happening!
“No.” She whispered shaking her head, looking down at her blood-splattered hands. “No, no, no.” She repeated as hot tears started to stream down her face. “Please don’t be dead.” A whisper more to herself in prayer than anything else.
This is Jenna, all she wanted was a job.
But one bad job interview later, and now the mafia boss is dead, there is blood on her hands, she is exhausted, scared, and on the run for her life from his men, and the cops.
Thrown into a hidden world she had no idea existed, filled with grand balls, money, guns, death, slaves, fast cars, mansions, and two beyond handsome men. Jenna starts losing her footing, every step she takes brings her one step closer to checkmate with the mafia after their revenge.
All because she fought off the touch of the powerful man interviewing her, on a normal New York morning.

Very fast paced...
Chapter 1 had me intrigued on how Jenna was going to get herself out if the situation she was in. Mafia Crown Pieces was very fast paced and the plot twice in the middle of the book left me speechless. I can't wait to see what is going to happen in book 2 and if maybe Jenna changes her mind about the Crown brothers...

Uhm, excuse you, Mrs. Shay? That punch to my gut in the final chapter?? THANK YOU—but also, how dare you. 👀 You can’t just drop that and walk away...okay fine, you clearly can, and you did. My brain is still spinning. 🤯
This book was a hot mess in the best way. 🥵 I died and ascended straight to Huxley-heaven. SEESH 🫦
And Daxon? You might need to peel me off the floor. That man is dark, delicious, and absolutely unhinged in all the right ways. 🤌🏻🫠
The little Retaliation easter eggs at the ball? YESSSSSSS. I was squealing. 🤌🏻
I need book 2 immediately. Inject it. Directly. Into. My. Soul.
I’m hooked. Obsessed. Emotionally invested. 💯

4.5⭐️ Trust no man, fear no bbbbbb
We have Jenna, a clever, and sexy FMC who will do just about anything to survive. Her story is truly “wrong place wrong time.. right person?” 😅 I love the trouble she got herself into 🫠🥵 Also knowing this book one of five planned, I can’t wait to see how this unfolds.
This book starts off with a bang…literally, and I was instantly pulled in. This is an action packed, fast paced book, that had me holding my breath. At some points I was like “can we slow down a minute I need to process” 🤣
You have plot twists, betrayal, lies, violence (I mean this is a Mafia story after all), car chases, underground fight clubs, masked men, serious 🌶️ , love and hate, just as equally passionate. The foreshadowing was done so well. And that ending… !!! I’m still thinking about it! I even reread the last couple of pages. Twice.
The characters are deeply flawed, enigmatic, but beautiful in their own ways. I did feel like I needed some more backstory on Jenna, to maybe understand her decision making process a little bit better. But I’m really excited to see some of the characters unpacked, too.
As for the MMCs I pretty much can’t say anything without risking spoilers 🤫 and I cannot spoil this for anyone because the plot PLOTS and I want you to enjoy it as much as I did. Sooo if you’ve read this, or when you do, PLEASE slip into my DMs 😅

Book 1 in the Mafia Crown Series
This isn’t just a love story—it’s a wild, intoxicating ride through betrayal, power, and deadly desire. Prepare to meet characters who will break you, own you, and maybe even steal your heart.
I just couldn’t put the book down! It is jam packed with action, tension and heat!

WOW!! WOW!!! WOW!!!. Mafia Crown Pieces had me hooked from the first page already. Shay Stone is an author that takes your mind to places you may not even think of going. Her characters are deep and complex. Shay keeps you on your toes throughout her books. If you think you know what's going to happen next you are wrong. She curveballs it and you are left spinning in another direction.
I loved this book so much. i could not put it down once I started and literally finished it in two days. Huxley and Daxon are not your average bad boy. they are the monster your Mama warned you about. Yet you wish you were in Jenna's shoes. Red flags galore but shay Stone makes you want to ignore each and everyone of them.
I work closely with Shay Stone as an author and I can easily and with great confidence say that all her work is excellent and you will never be sorry if you read one of her books. This does end on a cliffhanger but it will make you hungry for book two.

5 STARS✨️
Normally I find a lot of similarities in Mafia romances that I read. But I thoroughly enjoyed this one. 🖤👏🏼
Not only was I was hooked from the very start, but I remained on the edge of my seat.
There are a list of Trigger warnings that should be read, but it was written in a way where some may heal after reading it. And that's a testament to the author.
Sidenote: Having the added spice from the other characters was perfection. ;) 👌🏼🌶
Now we do need to talk about that ending though... 👀 Shay how could you?! 😭

I had the pleasure of reading Mafia Crown Pieces as an ARC (huge thank you to Shay Stone!), and let me just say—this book did not hold back. It met most of my expectations and even managed to exceed some. If you’re into dark, obsessive, and high-stakes romance, you’re in for a ride.
The story kicks off with Jenna having quite possibly the worst job interview ever—one that leaves her with no choice but to go on the run. In the midst of this, she crosses paths with two deliciously dangerous men. And let’s just say, things only get more complicated from there. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that love looks very different depending on circumstance and lived experience—a theme that really stood out to me.
Shay’s writing had me hooked from the first page. There’s no slow build-up here—this book throws you straight into the action, and you better keep up because it moves fast. I also really enjoyed the backstory we get on the Crown legacy and the male leads. My only wish? That we had more insight into Jenna’s past—hopefully, there’s more to come in the next books. (Also, side note: I hate Haley. That’s all.)
And that ending? It’s still living rent-free in my head while I try to make sense of it. Shay, please don’t let me down! I’m beyond excited to see how this story develops. If you love a fast-paced, spicy read with complex characters and high tension, Mafia Crown Pieces is definitely worth picking up!

It doves right into the deep end.
I started reading this book at 8:20PM tonight it is now 11:27PM and I’m finished. I didn’t even put it down long enough to turn the lights on in my living room because it dives straight into the action.
Huxley and Daxon are good mafia bad boys and bring all the qualities you want in a mafia romance. I really liked Daxon the best myself. He was so obsessive with his possessive behavior it was just…chef’s kiss.
The build up of suspense is definitely there because every time you think you’re going to learn what’s going on there’s an interruption and new problems.
I’ve recommended this to my friends because I know they’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

"HOLY. COW. MAFIA CROWN PIECES just blew my freaking mind! I'm talking twists and turns, edge-of-my-seat suspense, and a healthy dose of dark, dirty romance spice 🔥🔥🔥
I devoured this book in one sitting, and I'm still reeling from the experience. The mafia kings in this story are RUTHLESS, the love is FORBIDDEN, and the action is NON-STOP.
If you're a fan of dark romance, mafia thrillers, or just a good ol' page-turner, then you NEED to read MAFIA CROWN PIECES. Trust me, you won't regret it! 5/5 🌟

The cover is stunning! The opening chapter of this book grabs your attention immediately, with Jenna's job interview taking a dark turn as her potential boss makes unwanted advances. While I felt a certain part could have been handled differently, the intensity was undeniable and hooked you right away. Despite the aftermath and her fear of being found, Jenna still heads out that evening to meet her best friend at a nightclub. Here, she finally encounters Huxley, the man she's been eyeing for a while. Their one night of passion was hot and steamy. However, I thought the scene could have benefited from a developmental editor's touch. As the story progresses, Jenna finds herself on the run, forced to change her appearance to escape danger. She lands a new job, but things take a dramatic turn when she witnesses a mafia crime. Kidnapped by the mafia, Jenna was thrust into a whirlwind of danger and intense encounters, finding herself caught in a passionate affair with her captor. The book maintains a fast pace, though it has its share of errors. Despite this, the story's gripping nature keeps you invested. Jenna's conflicting feelings for Huxley and her captor add to the tension, leading to an explosive climax when both worlds collide. The plot was filled with plenty of twists and turns, ensuring a thrilling read. While it could use some polish, and a tidy-up overall, the story itself was great and offers plenty to keep you turning the pages.

Mafia Crown Pieces by Shay Stone
Wow! What a fast paced book, I couldn’t put it down. Shay sent it to me yesterday and I read it until it ended. Couldn’t put it down even when I was at work!
I am not giving any spoilers but will mention characters.
This is a mafia story with a huge twist in the middle. The way the book starts, it literally jumps straight into the fire. The MFC is Jenna and she is a strong woman and can really hold her own. But damn, that poor woman finds herself in her own worst nightmare!
Now, the MMC, where to begin! Huxley wins book boyfriend of the year 🥵 He is such a gentleman and knows how to take care of his woman. Huxley’s family are loose cannons and that’s putting it mildly!
Back to the twist in the middle, I did not see that coming! I honestly thought that it would have been enemies, fighting to the death but damn, how wrong was I!
Love that it was a fast paced book that kept me on my toes. I can’t wait to read book 2 and what ever else Shay writes. Love the note in the book that she wrote to herself, explains her own journey. Well done, proud of you for achieving this 🖤🖤 🖤 never change 🖤🖤

I don't even know where to start!
This book was absolutely amazing, the FMC developed so well in this book, started off small and scared and needing saving and then did a full 180 and became her own personal bad ass and wasn't gpkng to play the victim anymore! I loved her character development, which was top-notch!
Huxley Huxley Huxley 😍 you surprised me from the first time you were introduced, and boy, oh boy, was I hooked on you!
Then your brother came along! Daxon, you had my heart racing and my cheeks hurting from all that you did and said! You broke my heart though, Dax, and for that, I want to hug you and punch you in the face all at the same time 😂😂
This book is so well written, and the roller coaster of emotions I felt and went through was something else. This book is definitely worth the read, and I would recommend it to everyone! The cliffhanger had me wanting to throw my phone against a wall and at the same time run to Shay for book 2!
It's such a beautiful story, though! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

This was the very first ARC reading that i did and boy has it started an addiction. This was an AMAZING book with everything we love about Mafia romance without feeling repetitive. I finished this book in 2 days. I inhaled every single thing, and developed a Love/Hate relationship with the caracters. Which is exactly why i love it. I cannot for the life of me decide who i like the most and who i would choose as they are all so beautifully flawed. I won't say anything more about the details of the book here as i don't want to spoil it for anyone but head to my tik tok account for some art, snippets, and release date. Also just a big thank you to the Author Shay Stone for choosing me to be apart of this journey. I absolutely loved being able to talk to you while reading. Guys don't walk... RUN to get you pre orders. Her link is posted below along with my tik tok where i will share the video version of this review. It will be up soon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, this book hooked me right from the first page. That opening scene was so intense I had to stop and catch my breath before diving back in. Jenna is thrown into absolute chaos, and you can really feel her fear and desperation as she’s pulled deeper into this dangerous world.
I loved the mix of action, suspense, and the darker, seductive elements—it kept me turning pages late into the night. The two mysterious men she encounters definitely add another layer of tension (and let’s be honest, temptation).
The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that a few parts felt a little overwhelming with how fast everything was happening—I wanted a bit more space to sit with Jenna’s emotions. But honestly, that also matches the frantic, out-of-control vibe of her situation.
If you like dark, fast-paced mafia romances with danger, desire, and a heroine who has to dig deep to survive, this one’s worth picking up.

Absolutely adored this book, ends with a cliffhanger that has you questioning everything that you have just read and wondering if the characters are as sincere as you thought. The suspense in this book is off the charts and while trying to piece the puzzle pieces together you get hit with some hard plot twists, that leave your heart broken. This book does start off with some Dark content like from the first page.. So check your trigger warnings!!!

This story grips you and doesn't let you go.
Jenna goes through a rather traumatic, emotional and dangerous journey and yet she's hooked by the mysterious and powerful man who rescues her when she's at her breaking point.
Jenna is forced to figure out if she's fragile or resilient as she struggles with fear, survival and undeniable attraction.
While some pacing aspects could use a little bit more polishing, this is a great read and would for sure be a 5/5

Started strong, but lost its edge. The premise promised a dark, high-stakes mafia romance, but as the story progressed, it leaned more into melodramatic billionaire tropes instead of delivering the grit and tension I was hoping for. While there were some strong moments early on, the tone shift made it hard to stay engaged.

OMG this book had me by the throat from page one! 🔥
That devilish mafia men are pure sin and danger, and I loved every second of it. The love scenes? Perfection — steamy, emotional, and addictive. The suspense kept my heart racing till the very last page. If you love dark romance with bite and beauty… this one’s a must-read. 😈❤️

I can usually look past edit problems but there were so many you can’t even attempt to look over them, took away from the story. Has potential with the interesting plot but I just couldn’t finish it.

Before I get into it. Please ensure that you check your Trigger Warnings. They are not just a menu for some and your mental health is important.
Now I will just jump in. What! First it was T.A. Van Dyk, then it was Mea Marco, now you!
I am absolutely blown away. This has consumed my day, I could not get enough of this story.
Dangerous men. Mafia. Street fights. Murder. Kidnapping. And the shower... IYKYK
Wow. This book was intense. I loved every second of it.
Jenna just wanted to land a job as a bookkeeper. Instead she is plunged into the dark world of the American Mafia. Her whole life has been ripped apart and all she is trying to do is survive. I don't want to say much, because you should read it to enjoy it.
The characters were amazing. Daxon was intense, and so deliciously dark. Huxley has that hint of danger but also that protective side that is just. Agh, chefs kiss.
Just. Read it. Honestly. But check the trigger warnings.

GIRL. I don’t even know where to start—I’m screaming.
This book? Not your basic, cookie-cutter mafia romance. Nope. This baby came in swinging with blood, betrayal, and tension so thick I was holding my breath half the time. You think you’ve read dark romance? Think again. This one dragged me into the dirt and I loved every second.
The plot? UNPREDICTABLE. Like, every time I thought I had it figured out, BOOM—twist that had me clutching my Kindle like it just slapped me. The stakes? HIGH. The danger? REAL. The tension? Absolutely feral.
IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YET, GO, RUN....
BELOW MIGHT HAVE SPOILERS!!!!
And let’s TALK about the characters.
Daxon? BABY. That man is walking red flags and I would STILL let him ruin my life. Tall, dangerous, reckless? Yeah, sign me up for bad decisions. I don’t even care. Let him wreck me.
Huxley? Cold, calculating, with those “I’ll burn the world down if you touch what’s mine” vibes? Sir, I will absolutely pretend to be yours. This man had me kicking my feet like a teenager. The quiet ones? Always the deadliest. And I'm here for it.
The women? THANK YOU, AUTHOR. Finally, women in dark romance who don’t just sit around looking pretty. These queens bite back, and I was LIVING for the power moves. No whiny drama queens—just dangerous women who know how to survive.
Also… the heat? I had to pause. Hydrate. Reassess my life. The tension is so well-written you’ll be gasping when they finally snap. It’s rough, it’s real, and it’s perfect.
This book was like being dragged down an alley and thanked for it. Messy, violent, sexy AF. I wasn’t ready—but I’m so glad I came along for the ride.
I’m telling you now: if you’re into dark romance that doesn’t play nice, where the men are dangerous AF and the women don’t need saving, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.
No predictable plots. No basic mafia nonsense. Just pure, unapologetic CHAOS—and I LOVED every damn page.
I need Book 2 like I need air. You better be typing because I am unwell! Don’t make me beg. 🔥💀✨
