Thank you to my lovely friend and THE author of Our Sacred Oaths for letting me be a beta reader! <3

Our Sacred Oaths was my first mafia read and it by far exceeded my expectations. The writing style was so beautiful and compelling, making it easy to follow along with the story; hence why I was immediately gripped from the very first line. The length of the chapters were perfect and I was eating it up!

The women in this world of men and mafia were my absolute favourite. They were fierce, brave, independent and so strong. Andrea was so kick-ass, so it's no surprise that she's my latest inspiration. She was simply put: everything I look for in a female protagonist. She is the very embodiment of women supporting women and radiates only positive energy.

Another thing I greatly loved about it was how it pulled at all my heartstrings and evoked emotions with ease. I felt the emotions between Nikolai and Andrea so strongly (the spicier ones even more which was a bonus!) along with their independent feelings respective of each other. Oh and Nikolai has my heart. The way he treated his wife and the way he spoke to her had my heart racing. It's impossible not to fall in love with this man.

The plot kept thickening and thickening, with the desperate hunger for revenge motivating the individuals to act. And oh boy was it an explosive piece of vengeance. Justice met. Rightly. There was one specific scene where I couldn't stop cheering the women on... but that's all I'll say for now.

I can't wait to see what's next in store for The Mafia Royalty series, especially with how it was left at the very end. New plot lines are definitely being strung!

Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey. I’m so proud of you and I know that you put your blood, sweat and tears on Our Sacred Oaths. I hope that you will continue to write for a long, long time, my beautiful friend.

I haven’t read any mafia books prior to Our Sacred Oaths, and I’m fairly new to smut as well! The journey was wild, passionate and intense! Our Sacred Oaths has a lot of dark themes and complex relationships. I enjoyed how the relationship between the two main characters progessively built up and how they formed their own secret alliance behind the scenes. My favorite parts were the pancake, the wedding and the reunion! Andrea and Nikolai definitely established their own kind of romance throughout the book. I also have a soft spot for Andrea’s brothers who play a big part in her story.

I can tell that you wrote about the themes and subjects that you hold dear to your heart which is why this book is so you. I can definitely tell that you have a passion for writing. Reading your Acknowledgments also made me emotional but I’m so happy for you! Always believe in yourself and I can’t wait for the next book!

THOUGHTS
This book is very easy to read and I believe it is a great book to be introduced to Mafia romances.
If you enjoy extra smutty books with great dirty talk, Our Sacred Oaths is the book for you.
Andrea is a strong ass feminist character which brings a fresh side to the Men world that are mafia romance. She is no doormat and no damsel in distress.
Nikolai is the ultimate boyfriend material. He is the definition of actions talk louder than words. He was perfect.

This book is everything a mafia romance should be and MORE ! Dark, spicy captivating, funny and emotional all in one.The author nailed the rivalry tension between the love interests, Nikolai and Andrea are such powerful, beautiful and complicated characters who i loved to watch grow and navigate their relationship while being boss ass mafia leaders. ANDREA IS THE MOST BADASS FEMALE CHARACTER IV MET, it was so refreshing to see a woman be the true leader where normally stands a man and to watch niko slowly uncover the different layers to her ( as she did with him) made me fall in love more.

The dark aspect to this romance was PERFECT and had me gasping for a good 10 minutes straight, the plot was amazing and continually shocked me throughout the book (especially one scene that was truly the most bad ass thing iv read) I can’t wait to see more of the other characters in the next book of the mafia royalty series !

It was also so refreshing to see so many important subjects being addressed in this book like body image, feminism and mental health. the author wrote with such care and understanding and in a way that shed light on these topics we don’t normally see much of in books. I was filled with emotion and empathy at some of these scenes.

I can’t recommend this book enough !

This is my new favorite Mafia Romance book. The feminist power and no hold barred attitude is exactly what I’m looking for.

I loved how she didn’t really didn’t care if the men thought of her as “ladylike”.

Andrea is a woman who knows her worth and isn’t willing to take anything less than what she’s due.
Nikolai is a man who has a crunchy shell but is gooey in the center.

This author is talented and her writing will make you want to never put the book down.
The plot was very easy to follow and the chapters are only 5-6 pages long.

This is a well thought out debut novel. The lead character is a strong and jndependant woman. I love that she holds nothing back, takes no prisoners and is feisty, whilst still holding realistic insecurities most woman feel. Not your typical romance either, but just as endearing as other books. I really enjoyed this book, twists and turns that I didn't expect and it takes a lot to surprise me.

I know that a debut book is such a hard thing to do and she has honestly done an amazing job. I cannot wait to see her writing style mature as she grows as a writer and releases more books. The next one is going to be amazing and i preordered already.

easy read

It’s easy to read well written. I liked characters however I feel like it wasn’t fully finished, there are too many gaps and plot kind of disappeared and it wasn’t much thrill

good

Really good book but very anticlimactic end. Would have been nice to know what happened with the rest of the family outside their bubble
