Dark Mafia Tales #1

Echo of Revenge

Rate this book
A dark mafia romance where power, betrayal, and forbidden desires collide. When two fierce enemies are bound by an arranged marriage, their worlds are thrust into a dangerous dance.

Savina:
I was just 19 when my family was brutally executed, leaving me to rise as the youngest Queen of the Mafia. Ruthless and unyielding, I crush anyone who dares stand in my way. Men? They’re tools, nothing more, used to satisfy my every desire. Life was under control—until the Russian and Irish gangs joined forces, threatening my empire. Now, to save everything I've built, I’m forced into an arranged marriage with my enemy, Andres Valdez. He’s arrogant, infuriatingly rude, and dangerously attractive. My mind knows he’s the enemy, but my body is betraying me with every passing minute. Being near him is unbearable—I’m losing control, and I can’t afford to.

Andres:
As the heir to the Colombian Mafia, I’ve always lived life on my own terms—until my father decided to chain me to the Queen of the Mafia, Savina, in an arranged marriage. This “bruja” is unlike any woman I’ve ever known—cold, heartless, and utterly devious. But now she’s my wife, and I’m determined to possess every part of her mind, her soul, her body. I’ll make her submit to me, no matter the cost.

❤️‍🔥Echo of revenge, Lily Night
230 pagini (Dark Mafia Tales, #1)

❤️‍🔥Posibile spoilere!
❤️‍🔥Savina Baratelli trebuie să ia în propriile mâini, de la o vârstă fragedă - 19 ani, frâiele familiei sale (familia Baratelli este una dintre cele patru familii care conduc The Sindycate), după asasinarea tatălui și fratelui ei, fapt care va lăsa urme adânci în sufletul ei, deoarece în următorii ani va fi mânată de dorința de a se răzbuna pe cei care i-au nimicit familia.
❤️‍🔥Vreme de 9 ani ea va conduce familia cu mâna de fier, dar la insistențele unchiului său, Dumitri, Savina este nevoită să accepte o căsătorie aranjată, cu Andres Valdez, moștenitorul familiei cu același nume, pentru a consolida poziția lor în lumea plină de pericole a organizației. La rândul lui, Andres nici nu vrea să audă de o căsătorie cu vrăjitoarea cu ochi de caramel, dar in momentul în care o vede pentru prima dată, hotărăște să accepte ceea ce au hotărât capii familiilor, deoarece această femeie îl fascinează.
❤️‍🔥O dată căsătoriți, Savina și Andres, vor începe o luptă pentru supremație și pentru dominație, vor încerca să se supună unul pe altul, vor încerca să pună la bătaie tot ce au mai puternic, dar mare le va fi surpriza când, conviețuind împreună, încep să își dezvăluie bucăți din suflet, iar gheața din inimile lor va începe să se topească, dezvăluind temeri și dorințe de mult ascunse.
❤️‍🔥Numai ca nu este totul lapte și miere în lumea lor, iar faptul ca Savjna încă caută criminalul tatălui ei, faptul ca viața ei este amenințată prin două atentate, faptul ca Andres se confrunta cu secretele tatălui său, faptul ca se confrunta cu încăpățânarea soției sale și cu pericolele lumii lor, fac ca totul să explodeze în jurul celor doi protagoniști.
❤️‍🔥Cine este adevăratul criminal și de ce dorește și eliminarea Savinei Baratelli? Cu ce scop s-a propus căsătoria lor? Cine le sunt adevărați aliați ? Ce ascunde Felipe Valdez? Dar Dimitri? Cine este Martina și ce rol joacă în viața Savinei? Va reuși Andres să își protejeze soția, chiar dacă asta însemna să o protejeze și de ea însăși? Va recunoaște Savina ce sentimente are față de soțul său, înainte să fie prea târziu sau orgoliul ei va fi mai mare decât iubirea? Răspunsul la întrebări îl veți descoperi voi.
❤️‍🔥Căutând o carte care să înceapă cu litera E, am descoperit această serie, așa că am mai descoperit o poveste foarte interesantă. Mi-a plăcut mult povestea celor doi, mi-a plăcut cum Savina se schimba în preajma lui Andres, cum devine mai puțin tăioasă, așa cum a spus și mama ei, mi-a plăcut cum nu i-a învinui pe Andres și Valerio pentru păcatele tatălui lor, mi-a plăcut relația ei cu Martina și Dimitri, mi-a plăcut ferocitatea ei și modul în care îi apără pe cei pe care îi iubește. La rândul lui Andres, nu a vrut o căsătorie cu o femeie de calibrul Savinei, dar aceasta l-a vrăjit de la prima întâlnire și încet, încet au învăța să iubească și să lupte unul pentru altul. Dacă recomand? Răspunsul este da, cel puțin pentru cei care adoră poveștile mafioate.

An amazing story about a murder that brought an Italian mafia princess and a Spanish mafia princess together through an arranged marriage and the Italian princess finding the people responsible for the murder.
The arranged marriage didn’t take place until a long time after the murder took place and the Italian princess had taken over, becoming the Italian don. When they first met they felt something but they both pushed the feeling aside thinking that it would make them seem weak to the other.
After the marriage the two get closer even though it is an off again on again feeling. The closer they become the more they fall deeper for one another.
The danger grows more until the danger has the Spanish mafia prince figuring out that he’s in love with his wife, the Italian don. In no time the couple finds out who the murderer is. They tend to the murderer and the couple after a short time tells each other that they love one another, even though the Spanish prince told her before.
At the end the Spanish prince becomes the don and the couple is in love and happy. The couple find out that their family will be growing bigger and the love and happiness that they have only grows stronger.

OMG 😱 this was story was marvelous and it was a steamy page turner and the suspense was intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down literally at all. It was addicted. Savina and Andres were an arranged marriage by her father. The chemistry between them was spicy hot and physical attraction was boarded line tension. He wanted to combine the Russian and Irish mafia together. Savina thought her life was perfect until now that she will be tied to Andres forever. It was lies, secrets, corruption and more drama. Andres wanted to have his fun and have his cake too. Was this a match made in heaven or sacrifice of danger on the side.
I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed. I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion. Trina Jones

At the age of 19 she has become the last surviving heir to her family’s empire with her father’s second at her right hand. 9 years later- Felipe Valdez has just announced to his son that he has arranged for his marriage to Savina Baratelli. Now will the 2 of them combined forces and become an untouchable duo or will secrets be uncovered and empires come crashing down. This is a mafia romance, arranged marriage, betrayal of family trust. There is torture, spicy scenes, enemy to lovers, forced proximity..

Echo of Revenge was an interesting read for sure. In the beginning had my caught into it with the MFC, while the MMC honestly did tick me off quite a bit for a while there, but the surprise twists and turns completely take you off guard. Definitely has its spice, but of action and triggers for sure.

🌶️🌶️🌶️
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

I’m only able to come in at a 3.5 out of 5 on this one due tosentence structure, typos, punctuation that came across that were kind of off putting. But know this was only a provided before released. The book and series has potential and interested in seeing how the series progresses.

In an unexpected twist, Savina is not a mafia princess being "sold" into an arranged marriage by her father. Instead, at 19, she becomes a mafia queen, leading her family after the deaths of her father and brother.

Nine years later, Savina, now hardened by her role as the family head, faces the onset of mafia wars when the Irish and Russian mafias unite against her. An arranged marriage to her adversary, Andres, the heir to the Colombian mafia, could secure her victory in this war, but at the risk of losing her heart.

This book delivers classic mafia themes, an enemies-to-lovers romance, steamy scenes, and action, all while throwing in a few twists to keep readers guessing.

A quick read. The main characters Savina and Andres have chemistry and the story is well written.

Savina lost her father and brother on the same night. Taking over for her father hardened her the last 9 years. The last thing on her mind is marriage. But with threats coming from the Russians and warehouses exploding, she needs an alliance that is strong.

In comes Andres Valdez, a guy that make her knees go weak, but she’d never say that out loud, and tries to help her figure out who’s behind all this.

Truth Unexpected

Savina was not destined to take over her family, but she was trained just in case the worst-case scenario should occur. When she is in need of an arranged marriage to strengthen her power and protection, Andres, the Columbian heir is her groom. This story was dark and suspenseful as well as steamy in a filthy way. The action keeps you on the edge of your seat with a need to know how it will all end up. This was an entertaining read!.

This is a great end to this series, although I think more could be added, such as for Daniil who caught my eye. Ana and Valerio are quite the couple! You could feel the connection between them. And Sergei was definitely nasty business. This was a great story.

On a side note: this book had a lot of typos in it, words that were misspelled or had letters missing, which made it a bit difficult to read without going back and deciphering what the author actually meant. Editing and proofreading should have caught those.

This has got to be AI…

I refuse to believe that an actual human wrote this. It seemed like we’d learn something on one page and by the time we got to the end of the chapter that piece of information had already been contradicted. Also there is literally no way someone who had brain surgery followed by being in a coma for the better part of a week would be able to fight off full grown able-bodied men immediately after like be so serious with me right now. Literally nothing made sense in this book.

Great

I really liked this book. There's alot happening and it keep you reading, with that said I read it on a rainy afternoon. Mafia families have always intrigued me but not to say I would ever want that kind of life. Its great to read about them and have it revealed that they to have love inside them but doesn't always show. I guess you would call it tough love. Good read . Lily Night did a wonderful job on this story.

This book from start to finish is an amazing read. I absolutely loved it. Definitely couldn't put it down once I started reading it. It's full of action and fiery hot passion and betrayal and it's definitely a mafia romance book. If you like the genre and you have not read this book yet then you definitely need to. It's a fantastic read and I can't wait to see what happens in the next one.

Did not finish

I struggled to leave a review, but the authors ask for the reader's opinion. I stopped reading at page 7. When it described that the heroin made the men who went against her do oral sex on her filmed it and then executed them. Not all heroines are totally innocent but this just took it too far for romance novel.

Interesting arranged marriage, opposites attract

The relationship progressed slowly which added to the anticipation. It took quite a while for them to see eye to eye. But they connected immediately on their wedding night. It was an enjoyable read.
