See all formats and editions
We have been enemies since birth. Now I am forced to marry him.
He is the ruthless don of the Italian mafia of New York. I am the Russian mafia princess.
When our family’s feud escalates, the solution is our arranged marriage.
I once wanted to murder him. Now I am supposed to share his bed.
I hate how good he looks, how perfectly his suits fit his incredible built.
I hate even more what sharing a house with him does to me.
His endless teasing, how he gets close, only a breath away…
His sweet promises, taken away a second later with brutally cold arrogance.
I refuse to love him, and I don’t need his protection.
I am skilled, I can handle myself in a fight.
Until our crime families clash once more and we both know what’s at stake.
Will the cold-hearted mafia don come for his kidnapped bride?
Or will he leave me to starve until I beg him to save me?
The Sorvino Mobster series takes you to the streets of New York, where ruthless Italian mafia dons rule the world. These are not the hero’s from your old story books. They are arrogant, rich, brutal and whether you want it or not, they will break your heart only to ultimately heal and love it.
WARNING: Intended for 18+ readers.

I LOVED Katya, she is a fricking bad ass.

Alessandro keep ruining the purchases I am making.
Beware this book has a lot of very descriptive violence. Katya: And he is going to pay for this!!! My father is not happy with my failures. I loved the the chemistry evolves between Alessandro and Katya. She is a very strong out spoken Russian Princess. And his is the head of the Mafia in New York City. She fights him every step of the way, she will not submit to him. That would be beneath her. But Alessandro is very handsome and sexual man. He gets her to submit. I enjoyed the book. I was a little shock at the violence to women by an enemy of the Mafia. This book will keep you on your toes.

Just o.k. with a massively violent ending
The story itself wasn't bad ,nothing to set it apart from other mafia stories,though.Technically,Katya wasn't kidnapped by her to - be husband Ales,she was kidnapped later in the story by enemies.What made the story just 3 stars was the way it was written.The sentence structure was like it was English as a second language that was auto corrected.Hard to follow at times.The ending used brutality to show Katya was just as badass as the men.It was gratuitous and almost amusing.Meh.

A wonderful mafia story where everything occurs as a good mafia story should contain, especially when it comes to a family. This story kept my attention glued to my book from start to finish and I had a hard time putting it down. The author has described the storyline and structure well, as well as the scenes and the drama. I loved the characters and their characters that fit together. This book is definitely recommended!

Alessandro and Katya's Story
This is the first book in the Sorvino Mafia family saga and it starts with the 33 year old Don, Alessandro and the Russian Bratva princess, Katya Petrenko.
Both characters are strong and dominant. Katya seeks approval from her father, agreeing to marry Alessandro as a business alliance. It doesn't take long for it to be real.
There are many violent passages as Katya is very intense.
I recommend this book.

This is a true mafia romance. There is a lot of suspense, while there are a few things that make you think twice. I love that the main female character is strong and stands up for herself, even when it's unpopular with nearly everyone. I loved the way that the main romantic relationship built, it was realistic.

Wow!!!
I was not expecting that! What a book! Perfect in every detail and two people made for each other. She is as vicious and stubborn as he is. They came together as enemies but when push came to shove, they became the perfect " power couple". Nothing will stop them. Amazing book and very graphic. But absolutely wonderful story. Read this!! You will not regret it.

Mafia rocks
Great story, for once strong female lead who didn't fall at the first hurdle, have as good as she got. It was just the right length and kept you turning the page until the end. If you have never tried a mafia story this is good one to start but remember these stories don't hide and the blood and sex is in your face.

An okay book
This is the first book in the series and it was okay. I have read several of the books in the series and they were much better. This book was just okay. The h and H were always trying to outdo each other. There is kidnappings, attacks, attempted murder and murder. Lots of torture, not enough hot sex. No epilogue, just ended.

a VERY quick read.
plot was okay, the idea was there but writing wise- choppy, confusing. it's like i'm getting whiplash.
had to go back and reread entire paragraphs cause some scenes aren't flowing seamlessly.
not a lot of steamy scenes, again... choppy.
it's not an instant love but..... it's also kinda instant cause wdym you love him right after he saved you?
idk.......... it's meh.

This book was everything I didn't know I needed. I couldn't not put it down once I started reading. I finished it in one sitting. I loved the characters ands all the drama that was going on. I would absolutely love to read more from this mafia family.
I got this as an arc for my honest review.

It was ok
Quick steamy read. There where a couple of inconsistencies and grammatical errors. But otherwise the story was exciting. I loved that the heroine was tough and ready for action.

Two families become one.
Such a match can only come from the tension that is trying to come from our two charactor .The tension in the club shows how much is at stake. The torture. Of the Maths wax so heartfelt I had to keep reading.

Unsatisfied
I think this story has potential but the writing didn’t flow. It was very choppy jumping from one scene or day to another, very odd. The book was poorly edited and the number of misspellings was unreal.

It was a great plot and a great story however not much details and a very confusing syntax, they are spelling mistakes in the book and English is not even my first language so I rate it 2 stars I can not put more than that.

Kinda sick
But like an accident you can't look away from, or, in this case, stop reading. Not a lot of romance but too much gratuitous violence.

This book was totally spell binding. From beginning to end I couldn't put it down. The characters were tough but so interstimg.

Not bad just lots of mistakes. They marry to join families and fight a rival.

Estuve nehhh
Quizás es debido a que es corto, pero no me enganche. Me tarde demasiado en acabarlo porque no tenía nada atrayente.
