★★★.5

The last installment of the DiMaggio family I’m going to miss these characters so much, especially Matteo, he’ll always be my favorite.

Amalia is such a badass. A hitwoman with a love for daggers, and honestly one of the most dangerous and fascinating FMCs in this series. She was tasked to lay low and gather information on the DiMaggio family, but she ends up uncovering far more than she bargained for especially things from her past that she thought were already avenged and buried. The betrayal she faces cuts deep and she was ready to take her revenge.

Vincenzo was exactly how I hoped he’d be. From book one, with his flirty remarks and the way he constantly annoyed Matteo, I knew his story would be chaotic in the best way. He’s like a trigger-happy golden retriever dangerous, loyal, but with a charm you just can’t resist. The way his playful side blended with his fierce loyalty made him so entertaining to follow.

“You are my family, Amalia. You’re my future, and that’s not something I take lightly.”

The romance between Vincenzo and Amalia was fun but I wish we had more time with them. The tension, the banter, the danger it was all there, but some moments felt a little too rushed for me. I wanted more depth, more layers to their connection, because I loved the potential they had as a couple. Still, I enjoyed the sparks, especially when Amalia challenged him and he matched her fire. And then that plot twist?? I DID NOT SEE IT COMING.

Overall, I’m a sucker for fast-paced books and this one definitely delivered on action and intensity. It did feel a little rushed at times and some dialogue got repetitive, but it was still a satisfying ending to a family I’ve grown attached to.

🔥Dual First Person POV

I love enemies to lovers, especially when it is a mafia romance and Vincenzo is the best of both worlds. T. Priceton knows how to right a strong fmc and Amalia is not only strong, but a total badass and a little stabby. Enzo is funny, unhinged, and oh so hot. Enzo has been following Amalia around his city for the past two weeks trying to figure out why she’s here. Amalia, also known as La Sicaria, is in the city trying to get information on the DiMaggio family to use as leverage to gain port access for her uncle. Their first meeting is filled with tension and great banter. Enzo makes it clear they will not give port access to the cartel because they are smex tr@ffickers and they don’t allow that in their city. When Enzo thinks she is getting ready to kidnap Izzy and Lux, he is livid and confronts her. It quickly becomes clear that Amalia doesn’t want to do that and there is another reason she was sent to NYC. The push and pull between these two is fun and hot. There is mystery and intrigue that is fast paced. The romance and spice are on point.
🚩Be sure to read the author’s note and content warnings before reading.

Thank you T. Priceton for the ARC.

A Few Favorite Quotes:
“That little hellion is starting to take over my life, and I’m not f*cking happy” about it.”

“You’re such a needy little whore for it, aren’t you? Tell me, has any man ever taken their gun to your pu$$y before?”

“You make the butterflies erupt in a wild but perfect swarm of disarray in my stomach,” I say.
“And honestly, we’re carved from the same wood. Who better than a Mafia guy for a hitwoman to fall for?”

“I just want to be buried deep inside you all the time.”
“And you can be,” I say with a giggle. “As soon as I kill the f*cking a$$hole who killed my parents.”

“I can’t get enough of you, Little Hellion. I don’t care where we are or what we’re doing. If I want you, I’m going to take you.”

Wow!!! T did it again. At this point, I am not even surprised anymore!
This was my most anticipated read of 2025, and it did not disappoint; it exceeded all my expectations.

Vincenzo is everything, his sarcastic humor, his arrogant side, his unhinged personality, and his protectiveness will make you fall in love with him instantly. Seeing him struggling to accept his feelings for Amalia was exciting and a roller coaster of emotions. I was dying to see deeper layers of his personality and it was refreshing seeing his POV.
The mouth of this man is out of this world dirty.
He is definitely my favorite of this series, sorry Matteo & Nicco!

Amalia is the definition of a badass FMC. She is as unhinged as Enzo and isn’t afraid to speak her truth! She is strong, independent, and sexy as hell.
I didn’t think I would love her this much, but she stole my heart. Through the ups and downs, she never let her head down and she always came back stronger than ever.

Vincenzo & Amalia’s chemistry was explosive, undeniable, and beautiful. They were so similar in every aspect of their lives and this just made them even more perfect for each other. Their banter was top-notch and made me laugh so hard.

T. Priceton turned on the spice on this one, the spice was scorching, delicious, the kind of spice that requires a cold shower after. Lol
These two were unbelievably delicious, nasty, and didn’t hold back from the dirty talk.

I am in love with this book, it has all the elements of a perfect Mafia Romance, the plot, the characters, the mystery, the humor, the spice, everything was extremely well written.
The bonus epilogue was absolutely incredible, gave us closure and it was a beautiful ending to this amazing series. I will miss the DiMaggios, but I can’t wait for the next book, T got me addicted to her writing and I always want more.

[Andrii Jagen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved the story, it had so much potential. It was a little too insta-lovey for me.

The had like 3 conversations and he was already in love.
There was no romance it was wayyy too quick.
I needed some more slow burn, some tension, yearning.

And there is too much “I’m falling for you” it’s so cringey 😬

I honestly lost interest at 64% after the awkward love declarations and didn’t finish it.

I knew that Enzo was going to be my favorite!! The fun playboy who acts like he doesn’t have a care in the world, swears off any type of love because he doesn’t want to go through the devastation of potential loss! That is the type of man will always have my heart! 🖤

Mia was the perfect FMC to put Enzo in his place. She didn’t take any shit and gave it back just as hard. The twist in this story had my eyes buggin! 😳 Never saw it coming. Knowing what both Enzo and Mia went through in their past made this story melt my heart! Each of them being exactly what the other needed even though they were rivals. Chef’s Kiss! 💋

The spice style was true to T. Princeton’s style. Oh so hot and so very sexy! Enzo, I volunteer to be your Little Hellion! 🙋🏽‍♀️

Tropes:

I am so sad that this series is over but am thankful I was able to enjoy each & every book! Thank you T Priceton for your words & story on the pages and for blessing me with the Vincenzo ARC. I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve for your next book! 🖤

I’ve been waiting for Vincenzo’s story since Matteo, and it did not disappoint! His witty banter, fierce protectiveness, and unhinged, trigger-happy ways had me hooked from the very start.

My only disappointment? That it’s over. I’ve been patiently waiting for Enzo’s book, and now that I’ve devoured it, I’m already sad it’s done. The plot, the twists, and that ending were everything I could have hoped for and more.

And let’s talk about Amalia!!!! what a badass, tough, and independent FMC! I thought Izzy was my favorite, but then Amalia came in and completely stole the spotlight. The chemistry between her and Enzo was absolutely off the charts. I especially loved that she never let him off easy (locking him up and throwing away the key IYKYK!).

I’m completely addicted to T’s writing. I’m going to miss every one of the DiMaggios, but at the same time, I’m so excited to see what’s next.

Thank you, T, for being you and sharing your incredible talent with us! 🤍

Ummm why were they in love so quickly? Honestly I might’ve enjoyed it more if he had to help her first. Or just something more?

All that said, I want the next one.

[Kasey Reid · Rating 5 out of 5]

Vincenzo is the third and final book in The DiMaggio Crime Family series. I’ve had the pleasure of being part of all 3 ARC teams and I’ve loved each and every one of these books. But I might have to throw my hat into the ring and say this book was my most anticipated and favorite!

MMC: Vincenzo “Enzo” DiMaggio
FMC: Amalia Velasco

La Sicaria: the top hitwoman in the Velasco Cartel. So when she steps foot onto New York territory - especially DiMaggio territory - she becomes DiMaggio business. In his pursuit to figure out the mystery behind her arrival, Enzo finds himself distracted by everything that is Amalia Velasco. When family secrets start to unravel, so do the feelings Enzo has always kept at bay. Suddenly he’s picturing all the things he’s never imagined for himself. He knows Amalia can take care of herself … but just because she can, doesn’t mean she has to.

Enzo has been one of my favorite characters since book one, and I’ve always enjoyed his sarcastic and funny banter throughout the entire series. For Enzo to change his stance on relationships, it was only going to be because of someone truly special who matched his energy (in the most unhinged of ways) - and let me tell you, Amalia did not disappoint! Enzo and Amalia spend a good portion of the beginning of the book playing out the cat and mouse trope, and even they can’t deny the tension and chemistry between them. It was a good slow burn to transition into the second part of the book!
Their relationship was so fun and playful, but also serious and protective.

The only thing I’m a little sad about is the lack of time we got with them as characters together and with the rest of the DiMaggio clan. I feel like their story felt a little bit rushed, but that could be in part of how much I was enjoying their story. But who knows .. maybe we’ll see more of the DiMaggio family in the future if T decides to bless us 🫣

Special stand outs:
-handcuffs (iykyk)
-the plot twist which i thought i had figured out the whole time to become a plot twist I never saw coming!!

This is the third book in The DiMaggio Crime Family series and it follows Vincenzo, a strong but guarded man from the DiMaggio family, and Amalia, a lethal hitwoman from the rival Velasco family. Their first meeting is full of denial and resistance, but the chemistry is impossible to ignore. What starts as business slowly turns into something deeper, and I loved watching their connection grow with all the danger, banter, and passion in between.
The mix of mafia suspense and sizzling romance had me hooked from the very first page. Amalia was such a queen with her fierce and bold attitude, and Vincenzo balanced her fire with his protective yet possessive nature. Their push and pull was intense, and every scene between them was filled with sparks.
This book gave me everything I love in mafia romance family loyalty, action, danger, and of course, those spicy open-door scenes that were written so well. I couldn’t stop flipping pages because it felt like their world pulled me in completely.
And that little surprise at the end the author dropped had me giggling so hard. I didn’t see it coming at all but it was the cutest and bestest way to wrap things up. Literally had me like “okayyy, I love this even more now” 💕
Thank you so much author for the free ARC!

If you’re looking for a spiiicy mafia romance with a badass FMC, add this to your TBR right now!

This was definitely my favorite book in the series. I loved Vincenzo and Amalia and how obsessed he was with her (I love a ‘he falls first’ trope).The banter was great and there were a few parts that had me laughing out loud…Amalia took NO shit from him 😅 And the spice was SPICING 🥵

Just like the other books in the series, there was a lot of suspense that made me want to keep reading (I read this in two days and stayed up later than I should have). There were definitely a few shocking parts that I didn’t see coming. Overall, I absolutely loved this book and I HIGHLY recommend this to all romance fans, especially if you enjoy a good mafia romance! 🫶🏻

[Casey · Rating 5 out of 5]

My all time favorite mafia romance! Vincenzo has been my favorite character of the series. His sarcasm is so on point. The DiMaggio’s have such good chemistry. It was so fun having all the previous characters in here. Amalia is such a bad ass. Vincenzo and Amalia make such a power couple. This book did not disappoint in spice!! I would definitely check trigger warnings. I love the twist towards the end, and as always T. edges you on with her upcoming work! So so good! Can’t wait to see the continuation of this mafia x cartel world.

Vincenzo by T. Priceton
4/5⭐
3/5🌶️

After reading Isabella, I was super excited to dive into this book, and it totally lived up to my expectations! The enemies-to-lovers vibe between Vincenzo and Amalia was just fantastic. They’re such strong characters, and their chemistry from the very beginning is absolutely off the charts!

I really liked Vincenzo! He’s a bit of a player, kind of arrogant, and definitely has his unhinged moments, but there’s also this charming, loyal side to him that is so endearing. From the start, he feels this attraction to Amalia, but because she’s the enemy, he tries to fight those feelings. But when she’s in danger, instinct kicks in, and he’s all about protecting her.

Amalia is such a badass! She’s a hitwoman who’s strong, independent, and fierce. Seriously, she’s everything you could want in a female character and is definitely a girl crush for me. I loved her confidence, her ability to protect herself, and her cleverness. I also loved to see her vulnerable side with Vincenzo, as she gradually learns to trust him and works with him to get her revenge.

The book has plenty of action and twists that kept me on my toes the whole time! I loved how the romance mixed beautifully with the dark, twisty mafia elements of the story. And the banter between Vincenzo and Amalia is so entertaining! Their spicy scenes are so hot, and there’s one scene in particular that lives rent-free in my mind. Overall, I had such a blast reading this book and enjoyed every single minute!

Vincenzo is the third and final book in the DiMaggio Crime Family series. It follows Vincenzo ‘Enzo’ DiMaggio and Amalia Velasco.

I am not sure how we got to the last book in the DiMaggio Crime Family already but the time has come. I am glad that T saved Enzo for last because honestly he is my favorite and the wait was SO worth it.

Enzo is the muscle and the goofy one in the DiMaggio family. He is 100% my favorite as he is fiercely loyal, protective, funny, playful, and grumpy. He has really matured over the course of the series but still is the playful Enzo we all love. After his parents’ death, he vowed never to give his heart away so that it would never have the chance to be torn apart. This broke my heart for him because he never truly allowed himself to open up to someone until Amalia came into his life. He would do anything to protect her.

Amalia is the hitwoman of the Velasco family. After her parents died at 14 her uncle took her in and trained her to be who she is today. Her journey was not an easy one especially because she started learning the truth behind what happened with her parents. She is kind, sassy, fierce and slightly unhinged. This woman is so freaking strong and will literally take crap from no man. She also has a hard time giving up control but was willing to let go with Enzo which I really loved.

The banter between them was amazing and I loved the fact that they both found each other attractive but kept pissing each other off in the beginning. This book may have serious aspects but I was laughing so hard at times. Especially with the little cat and mouse game Enzo and Amalia were playing in the beginning. Also, Enzo is hilarious on his own but add in his older brother Teo with his dry humor I had to put my book down at times because the two of them together was ridiculous.

I love T’s writing style because she knows how to add just the right amount of humor, serious, and unhinged moments. All while making the characters relatable. This book was honestly a roller coaster of emotions but it kept me on my toes the entire time. I did not see the twist coming!!

I am so thankful to have found T from the very beginning of this series with Matteo. These characters hold such a special place in my heart. It is so wild to think that this series is already over, but I am so proud of T and this series. It was an incredible ride with the DiMaggio family, and I can’t wait to see what T has coming next!

You will enjoy this book if you like the following:
- Mafia x cartel romance
- Enemies to lovers
- Reformed playboy MMC
- Badass & black cat FMC
- Mystery x suspense
- Lots of banter

Thank you so much, T. Priceton for the gifted copy!

[Just A Girl In Bookworld · Rating 4 out of 5]

Vincenzo “Enzo” Dimaggio has been stealing scenes since the very first book in this series, and his story delivered everything I hoped for. He’s the perfect mix of chaos and charm, a sarcastic, trigger-happy, utterly unhinged golden retriever of a mafia man. Fiercely loyal, quick-witted, and irresistibly flirtatious, Enzo brings humour to nearly every page. Beneath that cocky exterior lies a deep devotion, especially when it comes to Amalia. Watching him wrestle with his feelings, deny his obsession, and ultimately fall hard was a rollercoaster of emotion. His playful teasing, possessiveness, and dirty talk make him impossible to resist.

Amalia Velasco is every bit his equal. A cartel-trained hitwoman with a love for daggers and razor-sharp intelligence, she’s fierce, independent, and morally grey in the best way. She’s not just a love interest, she can meet Enzo head-on without losing herself. And she never lets him off easy, (𝙘𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙪𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙, 𝙩𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙗𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚!) And Enzo’s unwavering confidence and masculinity give her space to lower her guard and show a softer, playful side, especially in intimate moments when her giggles slip through. Even then, her independence never wavers, she doesn’t become dependent on him, but remains strong and self-assured, choosing freely to let her guard down with him.

Together, they’re explosive. Their romance crackles with razor-sharp banter, slow-burn tension, and steamy moments that make their chemistry undeniable. Some moments felt a little rushed, and I wanted more layers to their connection because their potential as a couple was so strong, but I still loved every second of their story. The spice is hot, with a playful role reversal as Amalia takes the lead. Even if it isn’t Priceton’s spiciest work for me, their dynamic still became one of my favourites in the series.

T. Priceton has been an auto-buy author for me since Matteo and will continue to be, because she blends humour, danger, and passion into stories that are always thrilling and addictive. That said, while Enzo is my favourite MMC of the series, this story isn’t my top pick. Some moments, particularly those involving Armando, felt a little childish, and the situation with Diego could have been explained more clearly. The mafia elements, while present, didn’t feel fully explored, which left some parts feeling rushed or lacking depth. Still, it’s a sexy, action-packed, and fitting conclusion to the DiMaggio Crime Family series that I’d happily recommend to fans of dark, fast-paced romance with unforgettable characters.

I’ll miss the DiMaggios, but I’m already excited to see what T. Priceton’s writing brings us next.

This entire series has been nothing but amazing, but this book…my favorite hands down so far. I don’t know what T Priceton is putting these books, but I’m hooked!!!

Amalia, or also known as La Sicaria, is one badass bish! She is a hit woman for her uncle and she has a love for daggers. Her parents were murdered and she was raised by her uncle and after a recent job and someone telling her, she is determined to find out the truth behind it. She is currently on a job in the city watching the DiMaggio family so they learn how to become business partners with them, but oooh this visit to the city does not goes as planned at all.

Vincenzo, or Enzo, is the second in command and now taking on more roles in the family business now that his brother has found love. Enzo is anti love and family, he is enjoying his playboy bachelor life. He is also very trigger happy when need be on the job.

The enemies to lovers trope is done so perfectly in this story. These two are literally at each others throats. They can’t stand one another, but they do find each other attractive and they hate that they do. They also love toying with one another and using that attraction against one another. They play a beautiful and dangerous push and pull game between hate and lust while on opposites sides of one another. And poor Amalia, she goes through some of the most ultimate betrayal by her own family. I LOVED the moment when Enzo realized his feelings about Amalia, it’s like it clicked and he knew he had to go to her. Oh my heart exploded! He knew she could take care of herself, but he wanted her to know that she was not alone. That is a true freaking man!! And whew their connection when they came together…FIREWORKS AND EXPLOSION! The passion was electric!

This book was dangerous, mysterious, hand my heart pounding, it was sexy and it was DELICIOUS! I loved me some Vincenzo!

ARC Review

Vincenzo is an engrossing story that had me captivated from beginning to end. As soon as Amalia, the leading assassin of the Velasco family, arrives in New York, the atmosphere is thick with tension. T. Priceton skillfully creates a realm where peril and longing intersect, and I became utterly enchanted by the intricate relationships among the characters.

The dual perspective format enriches the narrative, enabling readers to feel the contrasting emotions of both main characters. Vincenzo's intense guardianship combined with Amalia's deadly charm forms an irresistible chemistry that is hard to deny. Their relationship develops in unforeseen manners, challenging their original views and bringing them nearer to each other amidst the surrounding turmoil.

The prose is intense, featuring vivid details that draw you into the harsh reality of the mafia's underbelly. The adult themes and explicit scenes are addressed with skill, making the romance appear both genuine and fervent.

What deeply connected with me was the fundamental message of love and loss. Vincenzo's inner conflict—his wish to shield those dear to him while contending with the shadows of his reality—introduces an emotional depth to the story.

Ultimately, Vincenzo is an exhilarating and heartfelt journey that I found impossible to set aside. If you appreciate mafia romances featuring powerful characters and intense chemistry, this book is essential.

ARC Review
4.5/5 stars
3/5 spice

Did I cry when I finished this book? Yes, I did. It's hard to believe that DiMaggio's Crime Family series is coming to an end. Ending the series with Enzo's book was the perfect way to wrap up the siblings' stories.

Enzo has been the jokester and light-hearted sibling, but seeing him in his element as second in command was so thrilling. He still had his humor, but he had more seriousness to him in this book. Also, it was so fun watching him get worked up over Amalia, from him making fun of Teo in book 1 for being love sick with Lux, to damn near stalking Amalia because of his obsession. My favorite aspect of Vincenzo was the relationship between Teo and Enzo. Seeing them be so open with each other and knowing what one another is feeling without even saying anything shows the love they have for each other.

I loved Amalia's character; she reminded me of Lux and Izzy in small ways. She was such a force to reckon with, and Enzo knew that the moment he first met her. I loved the confidence she had, but we still got to see her be vulnerable. She was everything Enzo needed: someone to challenge him on a deeper level, see him for the person he tries so hard to hide from others. Amalia wasn't used to having someone willing to kill for her, let alone defend her, especially from her family.

The ending had me screaming! I did not see that plot twist coming, and I almost threw my Kindle when reading. T did an amazing job keeping me on my toes the entire time.

One thing I really loved that T did for this series was show how all 3 siblings handle the grief of losing their parent. It really showed how people deal with trauma differently and how it can deeply affect who they are. I also noticed that Matteo's character grew throughout the series. He was so cold-hearted and closed off with everyone, including his siblings, in book 1, but by book 3, he was more understanding, and he was warmer as a person.

Overall, I'm so sad to see this series come to an end. It's been an honor to be with T since Matteo, and I'm so excited to see what else T has to bring to the world. Words cannot begin to express how proud I am of T, and I'm so lucky to call her a friend and an inspiration.

Thank you, T, for the ARC.. I forever love you!

Vincenzo is part of the DiMaggio Crime Family series, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. You’ve got Amalia, aka La Sicaria, basically the baddest hitwoman around, landing in New York for some mafia negotiations. Naturally, she bumps into Vincenzo, the second-in-command of the DiMaggio family, and sparks fly… in all the chaotic, tension-filled ways you’d hope for in a mafia romance.

The story flips between Amalia and Vincenzo’s perspectives, which is great because you get the inside scoop on their thoughts, and, honestly, their inner sass and vulnerability make them way more than just “dangerous romantic leads.” The writing is intense, but in a good, can’t-put-it-down kind of way. Expect high stakes, lots of tension, and some steamy chemistry.

If you like mafia drama, intense enemies-to-lovers romance, and characters who are both badass and swoon-worthy, Vincenzo is your jam. It’s steamy, high-stakes, and totally addictive, basically, once you start, you won’t want to put it down.

[Ashley Bolan · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW!!!!! T has done it again. Just when I cannot think I could love her books anymore she throws down the guantlet. She basically told the book world to "hold her beer". I have been a fan since my book hubby Matteo entered the scene. I will say this Vincenzo gave my Matteo a run for his money in this book. He tried to take him out like a wrecking ball but, Enzo just cannot take my Matteo's place. Sorry Enzo. I do love you though. Enzo is like a walking wrecking ball of a man. He barrels through your heart in a way that many other book boyfriends cannot. He is the perfect package and I do mean that quite literally. Just ask his piercings lol. Enzo is a walking billboard for commitment phobia until Amaila steps on to the scene. She is the perfect woman to bring Enzo to his knees. She gives him just as much as he gives her. She takes no prisoners and I mean that in the most literal way. IYKYK. When she shows up in his city for a job her uncle sends her on, Enzo lets her know she is not wanted and he will not let her come in and ruin his city with her uncles shady business. They play a game of cat and mouse with each other. He does things to her to let her know that he is the boss but in return she shows him that she is a killer and no pushover in her own right. They are perfect together. They are like oil and gasoline. When you light the fuse its going to set everything ablaze. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book. You find out that things are not as they appear and that their are even more secrets to be had. T left us wanting more at the end. I cannot wait for what she has in store for us next. I am assuming it will be a different series but it will pick up on some things that were left unfinished in this story. T has such great way of doing her character development and her stories are always engaging and fun to read. I literally devour her stories every single time. I am always wanting more of what she can deliver. If you love mafia romance books this is the series for you.

Definitely my favorite of the series!
I have loved Enzo since book one and I was so excited to read his book.
Enzo and Amalia are the perfect duo for each other. She’s a baddie that isn’t going to let anyone walk over her and he’s the cunning mafia man that loves to get under her skin.
They have both been through similar traumas. Losing both their parents so they have an understanding of each other.
The story was really well paced and the banter was soooo good.
The spice was perfect. Enemies to lovers usually are slow burn but this was so perfect for the spice. Enzo definitely has a way with words hehe. The chemistry between this 2 is perfection.

The plot twist????? Well there were a few and one threw me for a freaking loop. I was just screaming what!?

This whole series is amazing but Vincenzo and Amalia have my heart. Their story was the perfect way to round of the DiMaggio Crime Family. I can’t wait to see what else T writes!

4.25 ⭐️

The final brother!! I was excited for Enzo to get his story and having him pair up with Amalia was amazing. Who doesn’t love a self sufficient hit-woman?! She could handle herself just fine and kept Enzo on his toes which I loved.
These two are from rival families, Enzo being the underboss for the DiMaggio family and Amalia being the hit-woman for the Velsco’s.

The tension and banter was so good. Loved the enemies to lovers vibe in the beginning and watching them both slowly stop fighting the attraction they had for each other.

I love a good plot twist, and I feel like it was a double twist. I had an inkling of what would happen but then BAM it all changed again and I was not expecting it.

I really enjoyed getting to see the other couples as well. And that epilogue is setting us up nicely for something good!!! Thank you T for once again Letting me ARC read your books.

Waitttt!!! So I finally finished my most awaited book of the series??? 😭😭 I’m actually crying because I’ve been dying to read Enzo’s story ever since he first appeared in Matteo, and it did not disappoint!!!

I was really impressed when Amalia’s character was introduced. She’s stubborn, resilient, and honestly such a badass 🔥 Known as La Sicaria, she’s part of the Velasco Cartel—but deep down, she’s got a good heart. Everything she did came from a place of duty to the family that raised her, and that complexity made her character so captivating.

Now Enzo… oh my god 😩 Where do I even start? His humor? Top tier. The sly smiles, the smirks, the bad-boy charm hiding a heart of gold 🥹 He’s loyal to his core and would literally go to any length to protect his family—and Amalia. The way he always had her back, and that confession? I swooned 😮‍💨

Their chemistry? HOT. Like HOT hot 🔥🔥 The tension, the banter, the emotional connection—it was everything. And don’t even get me started on that penthouse handcuff scene 😭🤣 I was laughing so hard I had to put the book down for a second.

Also, who gave Matteo permission to be funny now? I swear I didn’t recognize him at first. Watching him try to be the “Enzo” in this situation was hilarious 😂 but props to him for pushing Enzo to finally accept his feelings. It was so wholesome. Luxtyn was as amazing as ever, though I did miss Izzy and Nicco so much 🥺 I wanted more of them!!

And that epilogue 👀 Ohhh I have my theories now. I’m pretty sure we’re getting another series with new characters because I love Armando, even though his brother fooled me completely 😭 I didn’t see that twist coming at all. But what if... we get a marriage of convenience trope with Liana?? I WILL LOSE MY FUCKING MIND OMFG 😳

I have loved Enzo since reading Matteo and his book definitely did not disappoint. This book has gotten me out of a bit of a slump and my only disappointment is that it was over so quickly. The banter and the tension between Enzo and Amalia is amazing, how they both actively piss each other off while having such a strong draw to each other. There are so many witty remarks and Enzo is so fiercely protective in his own unhinged way, being a self proclaimed trigger happy guy who would do anything for his family and their future together. And Amalia is such a strong woman, facing her enemies head on over living in fear and being so confident in herself. I love this series so much and cannot wait for both Liana and Armando's stories

ARC Review

IF T. PRICETON WRITES IT I'M READING IT! So sad to see the DiMaggio Crime Family Series end, but I looooved to watch it leave! Ending with a bang with Vincenzo and Amalia! Enzo has been a favorite of mine this whole series, and his book did not disappoint! Loved that the girl he fell for was an absolute bad@ss!! I would expect nothing less! The banter, the possessiveness, the handnecklaces, oh my! And with that epilogue...I can not wait to see what's in store for us next!! If you haven't read this series and you love mafia romance, then you NEED these books!! Go start with Matteo!!

[Shelby Seal(Allen) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay so Vincenzo has absolutely blown me away! It's everything I could hope for in a mafia romance. I've been looking forward to getting to know Enzo better since book 1 in the series and he definitely delivered!

Our FMC, Amalia, is beyond what I imagined. She's got that spark, that pull about her that keeps you running back for more. A badass female with confidence, intelligence, and a gut instinct that is rarely wrong. Being raised in the cartel by her uncle, she's had to hone her skills and I gotta say, I love a woman that knows how to handle a weapon! 🤌🏼

Then there's Vincenzo, funny, sarcastic, with deadly loyalty to his family, he may be just a lil trigger happy lol. Plus a dirty mouth to boot! 🥵 He takes his role in the family business very seriously, and seems to love the extra responsibility Matteo has given him. I can't even begin to express my love for this unhinged man.

Together, Amalia and Enzo have great banter and their chemistry explosive. The suspense and mystery in book 3 is the best we've yet seen from T! My jaw was literally on the floor and I was screaming WTF IS HAPPENING?!

It's bittersweet to see this series come to an end, but I cannot WAIT to see whatever comes next after reading that epilogue. 🤯 this mafia romance series has brought me so much joy, and this was the perfect way to end it!

This is an ARC review I am leaving voluntarily and all thoughts are my own.

Thank you, T Priceton, for the opportunity to read this ARC. The following review and thoughts are my own.

I fell in love with the DiMaggio crime family with Book One (Matteo). Since his introduction, I've been waiting for Enzo's story so we could learn more about him.

As soon as Enzo calls Amalia his little hellion, we realize he has met his unhinged match. What ensues is the perfect blend of lusty chaos and a fierce protective vibe we have been wanting to see since Book One. Enzo and Amalia may come from rival families, but they are made for each other.

Even though this is the end of the DiMaggio crime family trilogy, T gives us a special post epilogue scene that had me giddy with excitement! I can't wait to see what she writes next 🤗

Read Vincenzo if you like:
- mafia romance
- unhinged chaos
- piercings (iykyk)
- stabby FMC
- touch her and die
- interconnected standalones
- high spice content

Happy Reading!

This is the third book in The Dimaggio Crime Family series, and it was one of my most anticipated reads. Enzo has been a secondary character since the beginning, and I’ve been waiting for his story. He’s always been flirty, a little chaotic, and constantly provoking Matteo. Seeing him finally take center stage was everything I wanted.

Enzo is loyal, protective, and dangerously charming. He has this reckless energy that makes him unpredictable but also magnetic. Amalia, the Velasco cartel’s top hitwoman, matches him in every way. She’s strong, independent, and unapologetically fierce.

The story begins with Amalia sent to New York to gather information on the DiMaggio Family. She’s tasked with staying in the shadows, but her mission pulls her into old betrayals and truths she thought were buried. The way her revenge arc clashed with Enzo’s protective instincts made their dynamic so addictive.

The plot twist left me stunned. The ending threw in a surprise that has me eager for the next installment. Enzo and Amalia’s story did not disappoint.

Tropes:

Mafia x Cartel Romance

Enemies to Lovers

Reformed Playboy MMC

Badass FMC

Possessive MMC

Black Cat FMC

Banter

Mystery/Suspense


Thank you to @tpriceton for the ARC.

I think I might be a mafia romance girl now.. T Princeton writes such engaging stories making it easy to lose yourself in the story. This chapter of the series was no different! I loved Enzo and giving him such a badass counterpart was perfect! Already looking forward to the next book! 🥰

[Roxi X · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really liked Enzo in the previous two books but his books fell flat, and I'm so sad about that. Enzo definitely deserved better than this bad read.

I couldn't reconcile how he could be attracted to and fall in love with Amalia, especially since she represented everything he despised. I nearly DNF but rolled my eyes and powered through with much regret.

Plus the chemistry was bad, and the instalove was forced; at no point was I ever rooting for them to get together.

Also, where the fuck did Diego come from? Bad plot, confusing story, unengaging characters.

I also didn't like that she let Carlos do what he did. Enzo should have walked away then, forever. Yuck.

1 positive thing: the book was short, thank the gods.

[Suzy · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wanted to love this book so bad! I was anxiously waiting for Enzo’s story after absolutely loving him in Matteo’s book. But I’m honestly so sad to say I had to DNF it 😩

I just couldn’t get into Amalia’s character. Enzo deserved a better love interest. I actually felt like Lux would’ve been a better match for him — those early chapters where he was making innuendos toward her had me 🥵

But when Amalia hooked up with Carlos just to taunt Enzo… yeah, that’s where I tapped out. 😩 I really wanted to love it, but it just wasn’t for me.

Thank you to the author for allowing me to read this ARC 💕
