They call him the Silent Beast.
His name strikes fear in the hearts of his enemies, and they shudder at the thought of him. He’s a ruthless savage who’s earned the right to be called a DeLuca.

That is until a 5’6 assassin with tantalizing curves and a mean right hook crashes into his life, awakening a part of him he thought long dead, his heart.

She brings with her a list of enemies almost as long as his own. Like him, she’s at ease in the shadows and thrives in the darkness. Together they make up one beautiful disaster. The silent beast and his beautiful assassin will make their enemies regret coming after them. And along the way, they’ll experience a love neither of them dreamed possible.

Two Savages Meet...

I have been looking forward to this story for quite some time and I must admit it didn't disappoint. Sure we didn't get the HEA right now, however, the way M'Renee Allen was able to build up the slow burn of Stefano DeLuca and Sienna Key's relationship, let's us readers know that whenever we get the next installment of their story that slow burn will ignite into an inferno!!! The Bianchi Family may be down but I know they're not out of the picture and I believe that's why we'll get the answers we're looking for sooner rather than later.
I absolutely fell in love with Terzo DeLuca and I can't wait for his story to unfold. The DeLucas have a way of leaving you Feigning for more and that's exactly what this talent author has done!!!
I can't wait for Season 3!!!

His little demon showed him love

Sienna was on he run from the Irish mob. She had to find her best friend Eve who was on the run too. Sienna knew that Eve had been abduct when she witnessed the don being assassinated. She was worried that her best friend had been killed by the mob. What she didn't know was that Eve was looking for her too. Eve was living the life, with Enzo, the new Delicate don.

Sienna would get revenge if they had killed Eve. She found the man who abducted her bestie and the attraction was immediate. All of her plans to kidnap and torture him went to hell. She had a Constance battle with her internal voice telling her what to do. Stephano was in that same quandry. He was in the fight, f*ck and kill mood. Siena was making him feel things he'd never felt before. They just couldn't fight the feelings regardless to Siena trying to kill him. He now had an understanding how Snap felt towards Eve because he found himself doing the same things. He never worried about coming home before, now that Sienna was in his life, he had a reason to stay alive. He wanted to spin as much time with Sienna as possible. He was showing her a side of him he never showed to anyone. To her , he was her silent beastie teddy. To him, she was his pickle demone. Both Enzo and Stephano found women that were perfect for them.

Wow! Love this book! I read it in one sitting. I could not put it down! Ms. Allen never disappoints, and this book was explosive from the word go! I loved Sienna and Stefano. The fight scenes were dirty and packed with action. The most endearing moments were when Stefano was most vulnerable and Sienna let her walls down. Both of them had been through some major shit and for both of them to realize that they deserve this happiness was heartbreaking. The banter between Stefano and Enzo and then Stefano and his cousin Terzo? Priceless! There were so many laugh-out-loud moments🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My sides were killing me from laughing so loud!
I love the dynamic between Sienna and Stefano and Eve and Enzo!!! I can't wait to read for what else comes their way because this is soooooo not over. Filled with action, humor, hot sex, great fight scenes, and love so powerful, it was able to break away from the hold that their childhood trauma came with, making for an excellent read! 5 wonderful, stupendous, and terrific 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Silent Beast & The Assassin

My heart bled for Stefano, he is truly a “Silent “ guy, he went through so much…
Stefano, The Beast couldn’t understand his brother’s attitude towards Eve , that love bug is not something he wanted any part of, until he met Gina Aka Sienna … and his whole demeanor changed. When a man loves a woman… like the song!!! lol
See how the little demone turned the beast into a teddy bear!!
Can’t get enough of the DeLuca men ! swooning ❣️❣️❣️

If you are a reader who likes Mafia Romance, why not check out this author. This series is written by several authors. She, however, has three books in the Savage Bloodline. You could start here but if you want to know this part of the DeLuca family, I suggest you start with Brutal Bloodline. But there’s one more book to read before you get to know Stefano, you’ll want to read Enzo. Once you’re done getting to know who Enzo and his significant other is, you’ll be ready for this current story.

Sienna is big on trust but this time she suffered a disappointment. Will she get everything she wants? Stefano is trying to deal with a life-changing event. But is it for the better or for the worse? The author starts to get me prepared for the ending that is coming but she does it with a sense of humor. There were times when I would chuckle and times where I would outright laugh. She also gives me female characters that are just as tough as their male counterparts.

The author ends by giving her readers some suggestions as to where you might get your next book. I look forward to checking the titles out. There was one character in this book that left me wondering if she would make an appearance in another story and luckily for me that when I read About the Author, I got my answer. But I’ll have to be patient because she hasn’t made an appearance yet.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Stefano is our damaged hero known as the Silent Beast, and he has no desire to ever fall in love. Sienna is an assassin (an ASSASSIN Y'ALL), which makes her my favorite type of bada** heroine that I'll never get enough of. She also can throw hands with the best of them so let me tell you, there's #GIRLPOWER in spades. Like Stefano, she has some demons in her life which keep the walls up, but when their worlds collide, it throws everything into chaos & I certainly couldn't get enough, that's for sure. The sparks are flying, but walls are hard to overcome despite it being only a matter of time so there's a ton of angst with that kicker of heat. This world is a brutal world so there's also the suspense factor that I need in my life, plus there's a lot of humor in the pages that had me laughing like crazy. This author is simply brilliant in my eyes, and this world has me all kinds of obsessed so now I'm impatiently waiting for more! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

So good!

This book only left me wanting so much more! I want the story of these delicate brothers and their bad b@#$h wives to continue. I want to story stalk them into the future to see how their lives evolve get to know their babies and then see how they keep the DeLuca line evolving. Ok I know I sound Cray but I am so invested in this love story... Both of them. M'Renee you have become one of my favorite, sought after writers. I look forward to all of the stories you write. You have the innate ability to seamlessly weave humor,love, and passion throughout your stories that never fail to entwine the reader and make them so invested in seeing it through, and once at the end to miss the characters you have created as if they were real. Kudos and keep the story/stories coming. These female assassin's friend group in so interesting and endearing. Bruised but not broken they make me want to bear witness to their HEA.

Stefano Deluca is Straight Beast😈

Stefano on knowing and acknowledging that he is Enzo brother and Deluca had him questioning his past and life now as to who he really was. Sienna the best friend/sis of Eve was fighting her war back home before heading to Italy to find Eden/Eve. These two met at bar/fight club for there kind and from one look it sparked a flame🔥 that built with twist and turns and steamy lust. They both were definitely made for each other, but always second guest because of their lifestyle choices and trust issues. Once the opportunity presented itself, then they knew they both could of avoided all of this if pertinent questions were asked and truth spoken. This was very sexy as HELL drama, with a bonafide Beast who finds his Queen Beast in Sienna. This story had everything and more, hope to read more about them in the future.🔥💖🔥💖

This was an awesome story loved the characters especially Sierra she was a strong female character who made us laugh loved her sense of humor was strong and determined and feisty and a total vad you know what.

The chemistry and connection that Stefano and Sierra had from the moment they met was awesome. Instant lust for sure but, so much more almost you knew deep down you had found your soul mate.

We loved seeing a different side of Stephano although he can be deadly he could also be kind and compassionate. We loved seeing him well really both characters open themselves up and lay themselves bare. Brave tortured souls.

We want to tell you we wore a permanent smile on our faces the entire time grinding throughout the story with the witty banter, the suspense the awesome characters the story was a page-turner and we loved it from beginning to end.

Lover's Quarrel

The dialogue writtnen by this author always have me laughing outbloud. This book is no exception.

The main charcters, Stefano and Sienna have similiar backgrounds. Their child hood was filled with pain that left physical scars.

Stefano learns that his brother is the head of their family, but they grew up as best friends. This brings all the negative feelings hr has about himself and his life to the surface.

Sienna is trying to reuinte with her childhood friend and it leads her to Italy.

They met in an underground club, both with different missions. However, Sienna fails at her mission and ends up in Stefano possession.

The story unfolds with then revealing their truths and working together.

Side note: Terizo, i love this character. When he steps on the page, comedic bickering about to happen......lol

Stefano is ruthless, savage, and fearless, and he is Enzo’s best friend, who has earned his place to become a DeLuca, and he is known as the “Silent Beast.” Sierra is a feisty and sassy assassin, with a mean left hook, and she has her own share of enemies. When Sierra comes crashing into Stefano’s life, she tilts his world on its axels, and brings him back to life. This is a well written action packed, emotional roller coaster, with humor, witty banter, romance, drama, twists, tragedy, suspense, danger, intrigue, and love, which leads to an unpredictable, entertaining, and steamy thrilling page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Enjoyable

I absolutely enjoyed the love/hate relationship between Stefano and Seinna Stefano is the brother of Don Enzo. Sienna is Eve' best friend who is searching for Eve. This story is marvelous and funny there is so vengeance and secrets. It's full of action and witty comments between Stefano and Eve. This is the reasons I enjoyed this book so much it's easy to read and so entertaining plus it's a page turner that's realistic. Their relationship is steamy unpredictable and full of sizzling sexual chemistry between the two. WOW I had awesome experience when reading this story it had me laughing so I had tears in my eyes. You can't stop yourself from enjoying this its such a fabulous and Hot read!

Can the Silent Beast really fall in love? Stefano Deluca is the best friend and family to Don Enzo Deluca. As a member of one of the most powerful Italian mafia families, Stefano is the one that protects the Don. The one that advises and helps, but can he be the one that falls head over heels for a beautiful assassin. The first story about Enzo Deluca was interesting and had some dramatic twists and turns. M’Renne Allen did a great job telling Enzo story and made a great effort in telling Stefano’s. Sometimes in the story the phrasing seemed elementary and contrived. The storyline was interesting, and the spiraling drama continues. 4-stars for Savage Bloodline for M’Renee Allen

The best one!

I have read every book in the DeLuca crime family series and in my opinion, this is the best book/story in the series to date. The character development of Stefano and Sienna was on point. The traumas that made them who they were. Their way of dealing with said trauma. Thinking and believing that they were unlovable. Meeting and falling in love with each other.

Ms Allen wrote a powerful story of two damaged souls betrayed/ exploited and damaged by family and their life choices that found redemption with each other by choosing to live in the light of love rather than remaining in the darkness of fear, distrust and loneliness. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved It

I loved this book. It was amazing to see Stefano Deluca come out of his inner being and become a man that could love. He always felt that he was dark. Once he met Sienna everything changed despite her trying to kill him. I had to skip over the sex scenes, because it was a bit much for me. Also had to remind myself that this is the mafia and that’s what they do. I very much recommend the Deluca series. I’m hoping we get another book on the combination of Enzo, Stefano, Eve and Sienna of course. Hopefully Eve will have learned how to cook by then and Terzo will find that special someone too

Mafia Enforcer with Code of Honor!

I liked how Stefano had to be pushed to violate his principle to not hurt a woman unless she hurt him, which Sienna pushed him to do so she could behave like a sneaky serpent! In spite of how she behaved, he still cared for her and chose not to be vindictive!

I liked that Stefano and Enzo now have women who can be as fierce as they are and can have their back when they need a cover!

On a sidenote: If Eve wants to cook, she needs to be the first to partake of the fruits of her labor! I would not deliberately feed someone something that I cooked that I am unwilling to eat myself!

loved Stefano

this tender giant who was against beast to everyone but the woman he fell in love with. a woman he knew nothing about. who tried to kill him. who planned his demise. and he was in love with her.
he was feeling and acting just like his brother was. and when he found out who she was... it was fate looking down on them. instant love and connection, he realized she was him in the body of a woman. i loved them. They were funny and sexy. she had him tongue tied and stumped on their first meeting. he had never been in love and didn't know what he was feeling until they both admitted how they felt for one another.
loved it.

A Top Book in entire series

If you don’t read all the books in Savage Deluca series make sure read Stefan’s and Enzo’s books. I actually liked Stefan’s book best only because his story had more angst. However both books are excellent written(I don’t recall grammar issues in either book), plots and characters well developed, and plenty of steam and action. You will also laugh and if sensitive like me cry. For me this book had everything I like in a contemporary not dark mafia bwwm romance. Note read Enzo before reading Stefano.

The Silent Beast and his Little Demon.

This book right here! I just knew this book would be fire🔥🔥🔥! This M'Renee Allen doesn't do anything halfway. She always brings the receipts. And the drama, action, humor, sexual tension and sex scenes between Stefano and Sienna was proof of that. I loved reading about Enzo and Eve again. Those two characters are hilarious, funny and sexy as you know what. All I can say is that this book was everything and more. Point. Blank. Peroidt! You will not be disappointed reading this book.

Taming A Beast

Stefano is called The Beast for a reason. He strikes terror in the hearts & minds of his enemies. Little does he know that he will meet his match in Sienna. She will go toe to toe with him. They will unleash a passion that amazes them both yet is full of tenderness. Stefano isn't really sure if he even likes being a DeLuca. But he will come to see it is his destiny to not only be a DeLuca but to love Sienna too. Sienna will find that there is love in the world & she doesn't have to deny her heart. Enjoy.

Yeah This Good!!

This has got to be the best story in the series so far. The writer weaves a silken web that's so so tight and strong,you are caught in the telling and don't want to get out. The romance and intimacy that you experience is so unexpected that you just given in and love every minute. I love the honesty with this couple and the need for each one to make sure the other is okay. Stefano and Sierra are definitely couple goals.It was also great to get a full story,hope we get to see them again.

Talk about a perfect match!!!

Stefano talked all that junk about the way Enzo was acting since he met Eve aka Eden. Did he not have the same reaction when Sienna walked in that bar? Sienna herself was in disbelief, the pep talks she was having with herself were comical. Then the misunderstanding between the two was straightened out and now were here. The two former assassin's with a Don and his brother! I am looking forward to part two of Stefano's story; I'm also wondering if the assassin sisters or at least Sienna will join her beast on missions?

Gosh…I just can't get enough of mafia romance! I just love the angst, the heart pumping, adrenaline producing, words, scenes, steam!

What was a wonderful addition, was the laughter Ms. Allen delivered! What a fantastic balance!

Absolutely adored both Sienna and Stafano.

Sometimes, it can't get worse, it just has to get better. That is what I was rooting for these two mains!

Loved it!

This book had a great premise. A bunch of girls that are friends and assassins falling in love and finding their soul mates.

If only I felt like this book didn't take a great plot and then write it in such a straight, non nuanced manner. I felt no depth to any of the characters. The connections were weak and the conversations bland and basic.

This author isn't for me even if I think she stumbled on a great plot idea. I don't think she is executing to the degree it deserves.

Great love story!!

Stefano and Sienna are both emotionally broken and on edge when they first meet. A life in the streets and the mafia can really take you to dark places. However, there's a confusing connection between Stefano and Sienna that neither can fully explain. The exploration and healing journey these two go on is exciting. I absolutely love the tension, suspense, banter and action in this story. Would love to read more about these two beasts!!

Silent Beast...

This book was all that and then some. I was excited about Stefano Deluca's story, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. This book was everything I thought it would be and some more. The description of his character was done brilliantly. Sienna & Stefano's love story was well written. I wondered if his book would be as good as Enzo Deluca's story (which I loved), and yes, it was! This book is highly recommend, it had it all, humor, sex, adventure, and LOVE❤️!

More please

Sienna ans Eves story was too short... Bring them back in a combined story.

Terzo needs a woman......A woman who surpasses them all... One who disappears at a whim, and appears when least expected. Someone he has to keep up with. Look for until he's tired. Then bam she appears over and over again until he can figure out why she keeps disappearing. Get to work M Allen the DeLucas are not over yet.

dark yet sweet

Despite the contents of this book, I found myself giggling, swooning, & just wanting the best for both Stefano & Sienna!! I absolutely love that together & can’t wait to read more of their story later. The book was a good time, granted I did find myself skipping a lot of the fight descriptions & other violent elements to just get to their interactions but it didn’t take away from the book or made me feel like I missed anything. I absolutely loved it !!!

To Steal his Heart

Oh yeah…this book is fire. I just loved how Sienna came to Italy to find her sister Eden/Eve with a take charge kind of way. I love that Sienna is such a badass and will fight to the death. Stefano is a silent beast and is as tough as they come. Despite the trauma they both endured during their lives they are still able to live and find the true love they deserve. Revenge is best win it is accomplished.
