Dark Sovereign #4
Nicoli
We were only children when our eyes met for the first time. A connection sparked between us, and living under the same roof for the last fifteen years, growing up together only made it stronger.
Nicoli Del Rossa sits next to his brothers at the table of the Dark Sovereign. And just like them, he’s not a good man.
There’s a monster that lurks behind those deceptively beautiful blue eyes, a chaotic cruelty that stirs in his veins.
I’d be better off without him, and my heart would be protected if I kept my distance. But it burns. It pulses between us, and I find myself out of breath whenever he’s close.
He made it clear years ago that I’m the one woman he’ll never touch, that he’ll do everything in his power to sever the connection we share—even if it means hating me.
I still remember the words he said to me the day he had me pinned against a wall, our bodies yearning while our self-control hung by a thread.
“You are a queen, Mirabella. But I will never be your king.”

Don’t walk to get this book…RUN!! PHENOMENAL!!!
I highly anticipated Nicoli’s book and let me tell you I was not disappointed! Just when I thought the Dark Sovereign series couldn’t get any better Bella, you obliterated that notion in spades. You NAILED it and more. Nicoli and Mirabella CONSUMED me with their EXPLOSIVE and ELECTRIFYING story.
The array of emotions you will feel throughout this STUNNING and PHENOMENAL book, are so intense and heart-gripping.
You will enjoy Mira’s delightful and naughty sassiness, you will loath Nicoli for the way he hurts Mira, you will fall for Nicoli’s dominance, dirty talk and his possessiveness and you will simply be left BREATHLESS by their INVIGORATING story.
The sexual tension throughout this story is FREAKING high and it will have you sitting on pins and needles waiting for the moment when Nicoli and Mirabelle explode with their burning desire and love for each other. It’s so damn HOT!
There is a scene in this book that had me mentally high-fiving Mira. It’s a scene where Mira decides to teach Nicoli a well deserved lesson all the while breaking her heart in a million pieces. This scene was heart-wrenching, heart-shattering and heartbreaking, I felt so many emotions in that one scene and the one following it. This is a true testament of Bella’s EXCEPTIONAL talent and SUPERB storytelling.
So if your into the slightly depraved, suspenseful, dramatic, sensual and having you on the edge of your seat exciting kind of book, you will be thoroughly served with this devilishly delightful story.
Now I will patiently wait for His Queen!!
Congratulations Bella this Nicoli and Mirabella’s book is UNFORGETTABLE and OUTSTANDING!!

Nope
I'm not into girl on girl, not at all, and especially not if she's only doing it because she's trying to undermine the mind games Nicoli is always playing with her. What's worse is the female lead being so pathetic that she still pines for a guy after he treats her like cheap trash and rationalizes that he's constantly treating her bad and emotionally and verbally abusing her to "protect her." I wanted to tell the Mirabella to grow some ovaries, leave for Tuscany herself, and get a life -- find a guy who's worthy of her time and attention rather than pining for a scumbag who is a manwhore that keeps his unprotected dick (and fingers and tongue, probably even his toes) so filthy with prostitute bodily fluids and germs I can't imagine it being safe to touch him with somebody else's vag. Seriously, guys who are this horrible (he and his brothers are human traffickers for Pete's sake, letting men join their club if they hand over a girl to become one of their whores) I just don't get making them into romantic anything -- they're unforgivable unredeemable garbage.

OMG, you can feel the supreme tension between Nicoli & Mirabella!
Bella J wraps you up in her stories from the very beginning and never lets you go as you turn the pages! I feel for Mirabella and Maximo as they come to live with the Del Rossa family after the deadly attack that killed her parents and older brother. From the start, the pull between Nicoli and Mirabella is ever present and seemingly grows over the years. Yet Nicoli’s determination to protect, yet stay far away from his attraction to Mirabella, is on the downright rude side, that you want to “Gibb-slap” his head. But with the tensions rising against a rival family that causes an unexpected effect that you won’t see coming! Will Nicoli and Mirabella be able to find their happily ever after? You have to read to find out and know the book ends on a cliffhanger. I’m really needing Queen released ASAP!

Oh, Heck! Nicoli is going to give me a book hangover. I swear it.
Mira is forever feeling like she is treated like a child. Fragile and breakable. She is anything but that.
Nicoli and Mira's story proves she is absolutely but.
Nicoli has protected Mira for so long that it's just simply second nature. He has to fight against his feelings for her daily.
This book is a massive explosion of angst, lust, longing, and absolute panty melting hotness.
Nicoli is possessive and a dominant force, but Mira pushes back, and it's absolutely fun to read. 📚
Of course, with the Del Rossa family, there is always some outside force trying to mess with them. It's a complicated matter and one you won't want to miss.
Freaking loved this book. Excited for His Queen!

Holy Moly! Bella J out did herself! Nicoli was a scorcher! Hotness overload, and she didn’t let up! You could feel the emotions and definitely felt the explosive passion! My goodness! What an incredible story! Awesome read!

Too hardcore for me, the same with Alexius.
There is a nice storyline and a very forbidden romance.
The sex scenes are sooo hot. BUT I don't want to share the love interest with other women and Nicoli was a manwhore. to put it lightly...... Of course I didn't mind their MMF scene but still it didn't atone for what he had done aaaall those years before.
At least she was not a virgin and she had quite a nice experience and first time so kudos to the writer for that.

OMG! This book was off the charts. I was not able to put it down it had me gripped from the prologue. I knew Nicoli and Mirrabella’s story would be a serious steamy affair and I was not disappointed. If you looking for a book that’s a little dark but had a whole lot of heat this is definitely the book for you. 5 big stars ⭐️

Cliffhanger? ✅️
Do I recommend it? ✅️
Trigger Warnings: ☠️ ☠️
Tropes: dark mafia romance
Mirabella never had a real life. She had all the money she could need. But when you grow up surrounded by four overprotective Del Rossa men, it doesn't offer much freedom. She had zero freedom to have a social life or date. No guy will even look at her. She's Del Rossa property in this town, and everyone knows you don't touch what belongs to the Del Rossa's. 15 years ago, Mira was just a lost orphan after her parents' murder. The Del Rossa family took her in, cared for her, and raised her like she was their own. Everyone but Nicoli. He always treated her differently, like she didn't belong in their world. It was as if she was only temporary. Maybe she should be thankful he ignored her, but she's not. When his eyes are on her, she can't seem to breathe. When he's near, she becomes a complete mess. She's the one woman he'll never touch, even if she begs.
As I read the first three books, I became more and more excited for Nicoli and Mirabella's story. This author delivered everything I was hoping for and more. Nicoli was delicious in every possessive, protective, and dominant way. They had years of longing that had built up, and I knew when that tension blew, it would be incredibly intense. I loved it so very much!!! I am so excited for the next book, and their story is brought to a close. I highly recommend this whole series. While you do meet this couple in book one, Alexius, this can be read as a standalone. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

I imagine that I’ll amend the rating on a later re-read but this didn’t do it for me at all- & I so wanted it to!
I loved their relationship through all Alexius’ & Leandra’s books but this one felt too much of a departure of their characters in those.
We jump right into the action & Nicoli comes across as a total A-hole. Not in a good way like you want in a dark romance. You could tell in the other books he was a dick, but he was just too aggressive with other women. Having him constantly ducking around makes it tricky for me to believe his love for Mira but that does push my infidelity issues.
I will say I melted at his declaration & I’d happily be his hummingbird if he could keep it in his pants a little more.
I liked the development of Mira & how she started to show the backbone she’d need to have growing up in that house with all those brothers, but I felt it chopped out a huge chunk of her character. She was suddenly so hard & edgy, especially sexually & it was all laid on a bit too thick.
Will I read the next one? Sure.
Will I re-read this? Sure, it’s decent but not what I wanted it to be. Surprisingly I find I prefer Alexius at this point!

Nicoli by Bella J. is book 4 in the Dark Sovereign Series and the first book in the Dark Sovereign Underboss Series. This is the story of Nicoli and Mirabella. I have read the previous books which did add to my enjoyment of this one. But, it can be a standalone book if you wish to do so. Mirabella has been in love with Nicoli from the start. Although her love grew into more the other she got. But, Nicoli has always felt protective of Mirabella even if that protection is from him. So he has always pushed her away when she comes towards him with that love. But his book starts his downfall towards her. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Happy Release Day Bella
Nicoli is now LIVE.
This review was written when I finish the book the other day.
💀 f**king 💀
What the hell.
OMG guys. This is going to be the worse review ever because holy mother f**ker Nicoli is everything.
And I don’t even know how to talk about this book without ruining it for you.
This book is beyond good. Definitely top read of this year so far.
The tension, the lust, the sex, is so high from beginning to end.
Unbelievable good. I was melting I even went back to read some parts lol.
If you read the other books you will know what these brothers are like 😆 this book is on another level.
It has everything.
I absolutely loved Mira. She and her brother Maximo were taken in by Nicoli family when they were younger after their family were killed.
Mira is like a young sister to all the Del Rossa brothers. But her and Nicoli become very close growing up together. He protects her and show her kindness, while she struggles to deal with the death of her family.
She goes through so much at a young age.
Now adults the feelings are different and heavy. Nicoli protects from afar while staying away from Mira. He won’t give into his feelings. Their relationship is a love hate relationship from both sides. Mira had enough. She’s angry and she wants him to realise they can’t go on like this anymore but he does everything to make her not want him, he goes as far as being with every other woman to make her hate him and to make it clear he won’t ever go there with her.
There story is so intense, some readers have even cried. I didn’t cried because I live for this types of romance lol. It’s so heavy, it’s it’s full of angst, parts literally had me getting out of my seat because I couldn’t deal. But that’s what I love to read.
I love the back and forth. I love when a man gives no shits lol.
The banter, the drama the brothers bring to this story is amazing. I was so annoyed that this isn’t a standalone but I need more and it’s coming.!
Nicoli and Mira have another book and the other brothers have books coming.
I’m so obsessed.
This book can be definitely read now. So don’t wait for the next one. There is a full story here. The next book will be a bigger picture of the plot, the lies and the secrets of Mira family. This book is a dark love story. One of the best I’ve read.
This is the 4th book in The Dark Sovereigns Series.
If you haven’t read the other books don’t worry you can start here.
Quotes - LOL
“I dare you to take her off my cock.”
“This beautiful tension between us feels unbearable yet so deeply desired all at once.”
“I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love you,”

A Phenomenally Perfect Blend Of Love & Hate!! ❤️❤️❤️

Review
OMG Bella J has absolutely done it again. Another phenomenal Dark Sovereign story. She pulled out all the stops and gave us Alexius and Leandra’s story, well she dug even deeper and literally pulled Nicoli from the pits of hell and gave us His and Mirabella’s story. This first book to their story could not be any more perfect. Even when Nicoli is being cruel, he’s doing what he believes is right and from the heart.
There’s definitely a thin line between love and hate…..and I definitely developed a love/hate obsession for Nicoli Del Rossa. OMG that man is infuriating, OTT, hot as sin, and down right impossible to not fall head over heels for. That man can definitely make a woman an emotional wreck in every which way. Nicoli has Alexius beat in the A-hole department, but I will give him one thing he does grovel beautifully too though.
In this book we get a bit of Mira and Maximo’s story and it’s absolutely heartbreaking what these two endured before becoming a part of the Del Rossa’s family. Inside this book you will also find danger, unaliving, secrets, betrayal, steam and intense chemistry and so much more. Ends with a HFN and a small yet threatening cliffy but leads us into their second part to their story. So excited for the next part and to see where Bella takes us with them. This is one of my absolute favorite series and it’s a must read and yes I most definitely highly recommend it.

This was so amazing,ing I couldn't stop reading my God my heart is in love with these characters, the twists , lies and truths and the explosive heat coming off Nikoli and Mirabella as the wade through their emotions , the banter is off the charts along with the tension and I loved every single second of it.
Nikoli's dominant and very protective and you can feel every sound that comes out of him but he has met his match with Mira she is confident no pushover and extremely brave and these two are so exciting together I couldn't wait to see what happened next. The writing is beautiful and so perfect and describes them just like I new they'd be.

Wow. Just when I thought Alexius was my favorite brother in the Del Rosa family, Nicoli has slipped into first. This is book 4 in the series, so please read Alexius, His Wife & Unraveled, all top reads in dark Mafia.
This book has a slightly forbidden vibe, as Mirabella and her brother were taken in as children by the Del Rossa family. Nicoli has always had a hands-off approach to Mira, so the tension & chemistry between them is magical.
If dark Mafia is your jam, this one is not to be missed. The story is so well written, you'll get lost in the dark sovereign world and won't want to return. When I say this is some spicy reading, heed my warning! NO PUBLIC READING 🔥.
Dual 1st POV, ends in a cliffhanger.
Story ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've been waiting for Nicoli's book and Bella did not disappoint!!! Honest to god I want Nicoli and I want him now!!! I'm having a massive book hangover cause of this guy. 🥵
Nicoli and Mirabella's story is possibly one of the best I've ever read, their chemistry is off the Richter scale hot! Nic is demanding, Dominant and damn right hot dripping sex walking. Mira is a feisty one believe me you'll fall in love with her quick wit and charm. Yes you'll hate Nic in the beginning for the way he treats Mira but you'll definitely start to fall for his possessiveness for her ( that if I can't have her no man can ) which I love!!!
This book has you on the edge of your seat waiting for their sexual chemistry to blow and boy when it does WOW!!!! All I'll say is boy that threesome scene 🥵 even thou yes she teaches him a lesson but damn right breaks her own heart by doing it. I felt so many emotions during that scene it was hot but also heartbreaking and gut wrenching.
Please please please start reading this series because honestly you won't be able to stop once you've started......can't wait for the next one.

4🌶/5
Based on previous books, I knew Nikoli and Mirabella would be a memorable couple. Those two were intense, consuming and completely addictive. So sensual together, longing, angst, suspense between them is so palpable. Their sexual tension, all time high, thrilling and explosive, kept me on the edge that I couldn’t put the book away.
Both strong, persistent and unyielding. Dominant, demanding and walking sex on stick - that’s Nikoli. Protective over Mirabella, at all cost. She’s irresistible, fierce, sassy - perfect partner in crime for Nikoli. She’s so much stronger than expected, proving it and nailing it in the key scene in the book.

What ruins it for me is starting the book and already in chapter 2 the H is receiving a bj from OW🙄. It only got worst from there.

Mirabella is this family’s most priceless gem, and we protect her as such. But to me, she’s my soul.
Ohhhh my god. Do not hesitate to read this book!!!!
The Del Rossa boys are back and this time it's Nicoli who will be losing his heart... and stealing yours!
Nicoli is the second son in the Dark Sovereign empire and he is everything I expected him to be.
In his twin Alexius's trilogy, we saw that Nicoli was cruel to Mirabella, the beauty who has lived with the family, alongside her brother Maximo, since she was four years old when their family were slain.
It was obvious they loved each other, so why would Nicoli treat her this way?
Well, it's time to find out... sort of. Nicoli is still keeping some secrets. But it has all been his misguided way of protecting Mira.
Unfortunately, he hurts her in terrible ways at times.
'Whether he loves me in this all-consuming way I love him or not, if fate ever had a happy ending in store for us, Nicoli just single-handedly destroyed it. He destroyed me.'
“You wanted me to hate you. Well, now I do. Congratulations, Nicoli.”
'She’s a queen…and I’m a fucking monster.'
Of course, this being Bella J, she also manages to make it incredibly sexy. Like off the charts hot! These Del Rossa men are dark, dirty and delicious 🔥🔥🔥
And ultimately, I'd say Nicoli suffers from his actions almost as much as Mira does (deservedly so).
I love Mira's strength and feisty attitude. She's so likeable and my heart hurt for her and was so proud of her for the way she handled Nicoli and his cruelty.
But we get to see Nicoli's heart here and it's clear how much he adores Mira and how all he longs to do is protect her. We as readers don't learn all of his secrets but I'm so excited that their story will continue. I can't wait to see these two rule together. It's going to be awesome!
“Since day one, you two just gravitated toward one another. Like...you’re two people with one soul.”
"It’s always been you, Mirabella. Always.”
Bella J writes her books dark and dirty, so be aware of her TW's before diving in, but you won't regret it! I devoured this book in a day and I'm desperate for more!

Nicoli is just as good looking as his identical twin brother Alexius, the only difference being their eye colour…totally different blues. It’s the small things like this that has had Mirabella infatuated and in love with him from a distance, which is difficult when they live under the same roof.
Nicoli’s feelings for Mira are complicated and tormented. She’s the one woman he can’t have.
He’s looked out for her ever since she and her older brother Maximo first came to live with the Del Rossa family after their family, the Tirelli’s were brutally murdered.
There’s a secret that only Nicoli, Maximo and Nicoli’s father are privy to. Something that Mira has yet to remember.
Nicoli spends nearly all of his time at Myth, trying to drown his sorrows in other women.
When the brothers discover that the Ferrero family are trying to move into their territory they have to begin brainstorming and ‘questioning’ any men caught trying to poach their loyal women. They’re walking on a tightrope which is put under great strain when Mira insists on going to a new nightclub in town for her birthday celebrations. She’s clueless as to who the Ferreros are, how their families are intertwined and unknowingly begins a war between the two families…
Wow!!! Bella has done it again! If you thought Alexius was kinky, Nicoli’s tastes are even darker. But you can’t help but adore how protective the Del Rossa men are when it comes to their family, especially the women.
Nicoli and Mira’s love story is gut wrenching at times. The banter and one upping amusing and their chemistry absolutely sizzling which frustrates Mira as she simply doesn’t understand why Nicoli insists on repeatedly breaking her heart.
We learn more about the back story of the Tirelli’s coming to live with our close knit brothers and Alexius is finally privy to the secret the others have been keeping.
0-60 in angst, all the feels and the heat. It ends on a cliffhanger with a tantalising blurb as to what to expect in Nicoli and Mira’s next instalment. Absolutely superb!

Mirabella è entrata a far parte della famiglia Del Rossa quando era bambina, dopo esser rimasta orfana insieme a suo fratello.
Non l'è mai mancato nulla: soldi, abiti. Nonostante questo non ha mai avuto una vita, e nemmeno la libertà che una ragazza dovrebbe avere, essendo cresciuta con i quattro fratelli Del Rossa.
Tutti sanno che lei è di proprietà del "Sovrano Oscuro" e per questo nessuno le si avvicina e nessuno la tocca.
Mira ha da sempre un forte legame con Nicoli, fratello gemello di Alexius. Fin da piccola lui l'è stato vicino, trattandola come un qualcosa di prezioso e crescendo ha iniziato a provare un'altro tipo di sentimento nei confronti di Nicoli, ma lei sa che lui non la toccherà mai in quanto rappresenta un limite insormontabile.
Nicoli si renderà conto che Mira è tutto per lui, e la gelosia prenderà il sopravvento, facendolo arrivare ad uccidere per proteggerla e da lì la loro vita cambierà radicalmente, portandoli ad un risvolto inaspettato.
Nicoli è il quarto volume della serie e non vedevo l'ora di approfondire la sua conoscenza. Sono sempre stata attratta da lui, e le mie aspettative non sono state deluse.
La lettura è stata coinvolgente, catturandomi nel suo vortice fatto di possessione, odio, amore, brama di potere, che ti conquista fin dalle prime pagine.
Scoprire cosa è successo a Mira e alla sua famiglia mi ha straziato, tanto che ho pianto riga dopo riga.
Nel pieno stile Bella J, non mancheranno le scene da bollino rosso, roventi al punto giusto e coerenti alla linea della trama e ai protagonisti.
Lettura consigliata.
Valutazione: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spicy: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Emozioni: 💘💘💘💘

How do I rate this just 5 stars?
It is worth so much more with its dark intensity and the way the solid storyline hooks you in immediately and keeps you on the reel until the very end.
Nicoli is such an amazing character; while on the surface he pushes Mirabella away appearing to be cold and ruthless, inside his deep desire for her makes it so hard for him to ignore the attraction between them—but he persists.
Mira is such a feisty young woman, I love how she can twist her brothers around her little finger or any finger. She is one very intelligent person and I think Nicoli should have taken this into consideration from the beginning. 😁 What she wants she usually gets.
There is no shortage of steamy scenes in this story, not necessarily intimate ones but you need to read this story to see what I mean. Certainly when Nicoli and Mirabella are together their chemistry is immense. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The emotions experienced while reading this are quite vast but that’s because you truly feel like you’re a part of the story. At times, especially when Nicoli was being a jerk to Mira, my heart wept, while at other times I chuckled out loud with the fun banter or witty scenes. Then there are all of the other feelings from anger to fear and in between.
This Dark Sovereign book is fantastic and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Another amazing book in this fantastic series. Mira has been in love with Nicoli for years, however Nicoli pushes her away at every opportunity. Having had enough, Mira is determined to show everyone she isn’t a fragile little girl anymore, however in doing so, she drives Nicoli mad, as he is trying his best to hide his true feelings from her and protect her. Nicoli takes things a step too far and ends up breaking Mira’s heart, however when she shows him what exactly he is missing, he knows he can’t ever let her go, despite the huge secret he is hiding! The chemistry between Mira and Nicoli is absolutely explosive, you can just feel the sparks between them. Mira’s strength is phenomenal, the storyline is amazing, with secrets, passion and a very determined Mira, it will have you hooked. This book is a definite page turner that you won’t want to leave down, I can’t wait to read the next part of Mira and Nicoli’s story!

Oh how I loved Nicoli's book I think it's destroyed me, it was a dark, sinister and angsty read but you wouldn't expect anything less from the Del Rossa family.
Nicoli is literally a god amongst monsters he loves and thrives off s*x and danger, I think the only person he fears is Mirabella she's everything he's not allowed to have! and if he can't have her nobody else can. Nicoli has a wicked, sarcastic and menacing side too him which makes people fearful of him.
Mirabella is beautiful inside and out but we see a darker side to her also the only man she will ever love is Nicoli but she plays him well at his own game but at what cost because he really knows how to break this girls heart.
An absolute gem of a storyline it feeds all your emotions especially wanting to scream at Nicoli.
Bella J is one of my favourite authors and I love The Dark Sovereign Series so much 🖤

This highly anticipated book was well worth the wait! It is my favorite,so far, of this series. Nicoli and Mira are two very interesting characters that hold your interest, or, at least they did mine.They made me laugh, made me cry, and made me angry (mostly Nicoli). I enjoy the relationship between the brothers, and Mira’s brother, and the closeness between Mira and her sister in law, Leandra, Alexius’ wife. The story lines are so well blended, it goes seamlessly from one thing to another, without the reader feeling confused at all. I can’t wait for the next installment to have some big questions answered, and see who else finds their happily ever after!

Nicoli damn near destroyed me. At times I wanted to strangle him, pull my hair out. But the chemistry between him and Mirabella is insane. Nicoli’s story is darker, more intense and one scene in particular had me realizing I might be going straight to hell for just how much I wanted to be her at that point. Read at own risk.

Dark mafia romance
Not going to lie. I read the reviews for this story before I read it. I went into it knowing the MMC was going to be a royal Jerk. I was really surprised by the scene that was teased. The way Mari reacted was not how I imagined it. I was really proud to see a FMC take charge instead of running and hiding. Like f that guy. She stood up for herself.
This is not your typical mafia romance. No arranged marriages and pretty little Virgins in this book. It was dirty and dark. Absolutely loved the last scene with the special guest.
