Die Dunkelheit war noch nie so gut. Ich bin der Boss. Ich erstelle die Regeln und bestrafe diejenigen, die sie brechen.
Ich bin gut in meinem Job.

Ich habe eine Ehe der dunkelsten Art arrangiert. Ein Deal, um mich mit einer mächtigen Familie zu verbünden und einen Krieg zu beginnen. Der Vertrag ist klar. Sei meine Frau in der Öffentlichkeit und eine Fremde im Privaten.

Und dann habe ich sie getroffen.

Jasmine Rossi. Mafiaprinzessin wider Willen und Rebellin ohne Grund. Stark, mutig und töricht. Weich und verletzlich, mit Kurven an den richtigen Stellen. Eine Amazone im Kampf, bereit zur Schlacht.

Jetzt habe ich die Regeln geändert und ihr bleibt keine andere Wahl. Sie kann gegen mich kämpfen, so viel sie will, aber wir wissen beide, dass es ein aussichtsloser Kampf ist, jedenfalls für sie. Ich habe unseren Vertrag neu ausgehandelt, um zu bekommen, was ich will. Ich wollte jeden Teil von ihr kontrollieren und sie zu meiner idealen Frau formen. Einen Abend in der Woche gebe ich ihr frei, aber der Rest der Zeit gehört mir, und ich habe vor, alles in meiner Macht Stehende zu tun, um sie auf Linie zu bringen.

Sie mag mich jetzt zwar hassen, aber daran bin ich gewöhnt. Ich werde diese Leidenschaft zu meinem Vorteil nutzen.
Sie ist ein Geschäftsdeal und muss ihr Schicksal akzeptieren. Die Aufgabe, meine perfekte Begleitung zu werden, ohne mein Herz zu verletzen.

Liebe schwächt einen Menschen und gibt seinen Feinden die Möglichkeit, ihn zu vernichten. Sie nehmen das, was einem am meisten am Herzen liegt, und verwenden es gegen einen. Deshalb hat man uns beigebracht, nicht zu fühlen. Wir sollen unser Herz verschließen, um zu überleben. Ich habe nur eine Schwäche, und die wird wahrscheinlich mein Tod sein. Die Befreiung meiner Schwester aus den Klauen des mächtigsten Mafiabosses der Welt, und zwar sofort.

In meinem Herzen gibt es nur Platz für ein Messer und ich habe nicht vor, noch eines hineinzulassen. Ich bin dabei, einen Krieg zu beginnen.

It was good but for me not great. What really made me mad is that it ended in a cliffy which I didn't realize:(

May continue but really not sure.

ok

Straight forward story with no twists. Love story ok. You have to read all the books to find out what happens to the sister. I skimmed a majority of the book. Skimming the next few too just to find out what happens. If you have to buy the book, don’t. I didn’t dnf if that helps.

what going on with this series

Did I miss something. I’m really not getting the float of this series. It’s like it fell off a cliff. The story doesn’t expand off book 1 with Winter being kidnapped. This book is basically a soft love story, no Mafia actions. I mean Angelo supposed to be a Don but all he does is meet, marry and fall in love in 1 day, and is completely under her spell throughout the book. We only hear Winter’s pov in chapter 37, the last chapter. I guess story is good for people who like this kind of stuff but if you say a dark mafia romance, that’s what I’m expecting. I read nothing dark or mafia, just a straight love at 1st sight. Tbh, I skipped mostly all of Jasmine pov and I only read Angelo when I saw Winter or the Club Mafia mentioned.

Club Mafia

🔥🔥- okay, I was a little judgy on the last book. It’s definitely a series. I see the characters will get their own books but the story continues through out all of them. I will say for a mafia book they’re a little tame but still a good read.

Absolutely riveting! This book took over every spare moment I had. It was just as well I finished it in record time. Stella has the talent of making her characters so realistic you can adopt their personalities very easily. This ability is pretty rare and appears constantly in all the books that of SAs I have read so far. I fully intend to correct this very soon beginning with a completed set. I can't stand having to wait for the next book in a series.

Not Complete Book, Part Of A Series

It was not disclosed this is book one in a series. None of the issues are resolved in this book. You must commit to read 3 books to get the whole story. I actually did really like this book, but I’m angry that I did not know about it being a series that you have to read in order to get the complete story. That’s why I downgraded a 5 star book to 3 stars. I am not going to read the next books for that reason.

This is Angelo's book, set a few years after Rockwell Academy, the plans made there to seize power are now in motion. As part of this Angelo needs to become a powerful mafia boss, after working hard to gain his father's trust, sets him up and finally puts a bullet between his eyes.
He can now put the next stage of his plan into action, and now needs to form an alliance with a powerful mafia family to further this.
He selects the Rossi family, ruled by a cruel man much like his father and decides that their eldest daughter Jasmine will do, especially after he sees her defying her father and him beating her. He is initially cold and businesslike, telling her that this is just an arrangement.
We meet the other characters briefly as they work together on their plans. We meet Winter again and see how badly her marriage has damaged her, Angelo is desperate to free her but her husband is still too powerful at present.
Jasmine helps Angelo with the dissent in his ranks and together they free her sister Daphne, and gain control of the Rossi family after the girls kill their parents. Angelo can't help but fall in love with Jasmine and they eventually have a real relationship.
Winters husband Massimo is upset at being out maneuvered and takes his frustrations out on her.
The blood brothers are pleased to see their plans proceeding in the right direction. Can't wait for Flynns book next where we get to see the boys next move.

OH EM GEE!!!! Whew!!! What an amazing book. I could not put it down. From the very beginning I was immersed into the dark mafia world and the ultimate secret war room council as well an arranged marriage between Jasmine and Angelo. There are several threads throughout the plot. However, this is written in a way that each thread segues in and out another seamlessly. There are several key players. Each as important as the other. Their parts are all different as is their situation and the part of this country or abroad. *A note: FYI there is physical and emotional abuse, torture, murder, despicable actions and open bedroom scenes. If you are sensitive to any of this please seek another book. This is a true dark mafia story. It not only includes an unexpected romance but shows the dark underbelly of the mafia and how they choose to survive. I look forward to reading the prequel "The Contract". This is a must read. I highly recommend it.

Amazing story! A real page turner. Dark and suspenseful this story will enthral you into the mafia world, where there’s no freedom of escaping it. The boss Angelo is proof of that. He’s tormented and broken emotionally until he sets his eyes on Jasmine. He becomes everything he didn’t want to be, but like the saying says “ behind a great man is a great woman “ and Jasmine’s the one with all the power here; she makes an awesome Boss Lady! A definite read! Stella’s the best to draw you into her world of fire and ice, honor and betrayal, love and hate and so much more!! Flynn’s story is next and I can’t wait to read him the one known as the Angel.

This is Angelo and Jasmine’s story. Jasmine is a mafia princess who is strong, yet vulnerable, while Angelo if focused on becoming one of the most powerful bosses. Angelo enters an arranged marriage to form an alliance to become a powerful business merger. This is a well written story which is an enemies / lovers’ / romance, with passion, intrigue, family, twists, suspense, danger, and love, which leads to a depraved and dark page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Club Mafia...

The Boss. A fanfreakingtasic read. Angelo is the new don. He and his crew have a bunch of secret ish going on. He needs allies and so he must marry a Mafia princess from another family. Jasmine is a badass in her own right. Her family is abusive, kind of like his. She has a backbone and suffers for it. Angelo makes her sign a contract but in the end he falls for her. As the boss he is sometime mean but he protects her fiercely. They have what each other needs. They battle bad people, a take over and each other. This book is hot chemistry filled, dramatic, WTF angst and so many turns. Read like a movie. I can't wait for the next book.

Excellent

This the second book in this series is Angelo's story, he is the boss of a pact he and a group of special friends made whilst at Rockwell Academy, and he is the first to execute the beginning of that plan to bring down not only their own families but also the most powerful Mafia man who has his sister. He becomes the Don after his father's mysterious death the next part is to take a wife to forge a powerful alliance. Jasmine comes into his life and turns his world upside down and love was never to be part of it but fate has different ideas, together they make a strong couple. I look forward to the next book.

I liked seeing the softness and good Angelo is capable of. This book was not really dark, at least not in the romance part. It was more fairytale.
Jasmine’s parents hate her and only want to use her for their own gain, so they marry her off to Angelo for an alliance. Jasmine is treated coldly by Angelo at first but this doesn’t last even the day. He collects her from her parents, marries her in a courthouse, takes her to his home, leaves on a plane for “business” and makes it back home in time for a 7:30 dinner somehow, where he will then make Jasmine his wife in every way. Not by force, because as I said, this is a mafia fairytale.

The evil one in all of this truly is Massimo. And what he’s doing to Winter…I don’t know how she’ll come through. I cannot stand the wait and knowing Alessandro is still unaware of what happened, all the Club Mafia guys are, but it’s mostly Alessandro this will affect.

Raw, Dark and full of hope

Club Mafia - The Boss, I could not put the book down, the story was full of twist and turns, making you want to keep reading to to what the next page would bring. This book is about Angelo and Jasmine, what start out as a business deal becomes so much more, I really enjoyed the journey both Angelo and Jasmine had. This book is not for the faint hearted, there were a lot a very descriptive violence, lots of angst, some worry, on the bright side there were sexy time with lots of steam.

Growing love

Angelo had no feelings. He loved his sister and that's it. The girl he slept with were an only once thing not repeat performance. Until Jasmine inched her way into his heart. Loving is a weakness he can't have. But something changed when he saw how strong his wife was. He married for business and arranged marriage. He has to build his empire and his wife will be by his side. He must kill his sister's husband because he is a deranged man and is slowly draining the life from her.

J’ai beaucoup aimé ce tome sur Angelo car on le voit sous un nouveau jour. Jasmine est un très bon personnage féminin. Les personnages et leurs histoires sont bien écrite.

Angelo est devenue plus mature que quand il était à la fac. Il est plus réfléchi, compréhensif. Il accorde beaucoup d’importante à la famille et à ses amis du club. Il reste quand même froid et calculateur au vu de sa position.

Jasmine est une fille douce, gentille, compréhensive. Elle prend soin des autres. Elle casse même les codes d’une femme de parrain. Elle va tous faire pour comble son mari.

Angelo does a deal with another Mafia family to gain more control by marrying the eldest daughter, Jasmine. But he doesn't do love so his arrangement is purely business until he realises he can't resist his wife. As he deals with a threat from his sisters Mafia husband, he inadvertently finds himself with more power which he hopes will help him release his sister from her loveless marriage.

If you love Mafia Romance, this is the perfect one to devour.
It’s hardcore, tough, alpha dominant, Mafia centred, secret society, it’s perfectly written and beautifully done.

I am blown away by how much I’m in awe of Stella’s writing.
She without doubt my favourite writer of this genre.
I can’t praise this book and series enough, entertaining, enjoyable, thrilling storylines.
Awesome characters, just outstanding.

Ok. I liked the book but it seemed rushed. The H marries h for business purposes but they end up falling in love. He is mafia boss trying to rescue his twin sis. She has been taken/ married to biggest/strongest mafia don. H and his friends are setting everything up in order to take him down because he also likes to rape little boys. The h and her sister kill their parents because they are abusive.

SUPERB

Another brilliant book in the Club Mafia series, this one The Boss is Angelo's and Jasmine's story and the start of the 5 friends plan to become the global mafia of all mafia families. Absolutely wonderful, the anxiety is rising with the twists and turns in this book whilst detailing Angelo's "business marriage"to Jasmine. Very cleverly written and I am off to read the 3rd in the series now, I just can't get enough 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

A rough but beautiful start for Angelo

This is the second book and it picks up with Angelo taking the helm over from his father. Even though the Club Mafia is on full affect, their progress is slow because there are so many steps that they have to make to save Winter from the evil villain. Also Angelo has to figure out which of his soldiers will stand with him or switch sides before it’s too late. There are many twists and turns. Read On!

good concept rookie execution

I like the plot of it but the characters seem somewhat immature in their thinking. I feel like they kind of got away with that in the first book of the series since they were in college but now when dealing with real life the writing seems immature. Overall though the actual story line is very promising which keeps me engaged but some scenes are barely skimmed because it feels like just a lot of filler and not well done.

Angelo is making moves to get his sister back.

Angelo and his friends have formed Club Mafia and they are doing everything they can to free Angelo's sister from a psychotic mafia boss. Angelo marries Jasmine as a business deal to make his family stronger. Angelo told Jasmine he would never love her and that what they had would only ever be business. Can Jasmine find Angelo's heart? Or will he only ever have love for the sister he is trying to save?

I thought that this dark romance was absolutely delicious!! Angelo and Jasmine kept me desperately needing to keep those pages turning as the smartly crafted combination of taut drama, tantalizing twist, raw emotions and sultry heat unfurled. These two left me breathless and I loved every second of it. This is my frank, freely posted review.

Worth a read

One of my favourite authors and I absolutely love this book, so to say I enjoyed it was an understatement. I love the facet that Stella writes about these characters short comings and especially the way she captures it. This is an easy five star from me.

So many monsters

Young men at school. They form a club. They are broken, but loyal to each other and those they love. This book has revenge, betrayal, hatred, evil, strength, love, goodness and honor. And of course they are all alphas. I really like the way Stella writes. I read this in one sitting. Can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
