Another amazing mafia series by Michelle Heard comes to an end! We finally have the last member of the Kings of Mafia and boy is he a badass!! Only to meet his counterpart in Gabriella! A strong-willed brave woman who has endured years of abuse by her own family. At first, she was to be engaged to 2 different men, but of course due to her courageousness, Damiano falls hard and fast! He is Head of the Costa Nostra, therefore needs a strong woman for all the danger that comes with being in his life. There were so many great characters throughout this series and in this book. You can’t help but love them all. Damiano was hilarious in the beginning with the way he just communicated to her by one word “come”. It made me laugh for some reason. Both these characters had to put up a strong front whenever they were around each other due to their positions or what they were going through. So, they wonderfully met their match, where they can rely on each other and take care of one another when things get too hard. They are each other’s comfort as well as strength. It was refreshing to see this strong mysterious leader not be a regular man whore as he is very driven into protecting those he cares about and keeping things safe for everyone. I never want Michelle Heard books to ever end but thankfully we will have a new mafia series soon! I’m hoping its their kids books!!:)

Such a loving Mafioso story with exciting twists and turns. I love how the characters are known to us thru reading the series (in order of sequence or randomly) so you feel a familiarity between the characters. This story reaches my heart more because it showed the strength of the female main character, she was strong and smart throughout book and the main male character (Don of mafia) allowed his love to show for her not bothering if others saw his love for his mom and wife. This is a favorite book of mine, yet I always enjoy Michelle Heard's books. One of my favorite authors. She knows how to write and describe wonderful sizzling moments between characters without making it sleezy. Very sexual and classy!

This was such an emotional story between Damiano and Gabriella. It was perfect to wrap up the series with their love story. I loved reading about Angelo and Vittoria, Franco and Samantha, Renzo and Skylar, and Dario and Eden. However, Damiano and Gabriella was the best. Gabriella was the "Queen" in this story, to have suffer so much abuse from her family and then from being kidnapped and tortured by Stephano. Damiano was the perfect King of Vengeance, stoic and strong. I was deeply saddened by the murder of Aunt Greta, I loved her character. This was so good, I read it in a day. Thank you to Michelle Heard for another fantastic story. I can't wait til your next book is out. Looking forward to it.

This is the final book of the series as well as a highly anticipated release. I will be honest and say I didn't enjoy this series as much as her other ones, but I did enjoy 3 out of 5 of the books. Let's start with the characters, I loved Gabriella. She was one of the strongest fmc's I've read in a long time. She went through so much and was still standing proud. Damiano was great as well. He had the Alpha-hole thing down pat as well as respect for his other half. I do wish he had a bit more of a personality other than hating people. I really enjoyed all of the characters. So much so that's one of the reasons I'm not giving 5 stars. It really irked me that Damiano didn't show more love to Aunt Greta. She was a part of his life for 20 years, and he often times didn't even speak to her. He did mention he regretted it, but it still didn't sit well with me. As well as his relationship with his second in command. He didn't really treat him as well as he could have, in my opinion. On to the storyline. It was decent. It's predictable but decent. The word DIO was used way too many times. The sex scenes were decent enough. Damiano wasn't a very gentle man, which is fine but not even once ? All in all, it's a good fast read. I am happy that Michelle is finally making her fmc's less of a doormat and more of a role in the power dynamic. Now, if we can just get those age gaps to not be as large, that would be great. There's really no reason to make the mmc in his 40s and the fmc in her early 20s. Just my opinion. I am happy to see this series end because, again, it wasn't my favorite out of hers. She said in a social media post she had no plan to write a second generation series because she's working on a different mafia world which I'm excited about but I felt it was kind of odd that she jumped 22 years later to where most of the children are adults and pining after one another if she has no plans to write about them. Oh, well. I do hope the next mafia world is a success. I do love Michelle's writing and the world's she creates. I do hope she takes some feed back though from the readers and takes her time on the next series. This series was definitely written quite quickly and pushed out faster than I expected. Again, overrall good read. I just hope the next series will leave me wanting the world to never end like the priesthood and the first generation series did. Those characters felt more connected, more in-depth, and honestly, just better storylines. Only time will tell. Enjoy !

Gabriella and Damiano’s story was so good. Their characters developed so well they almost come to life. Gabriella is a strong female no matter what the situation she is in, it was refreshing. Their chemistry was so good!

What a way to end this series. I so loved Saints and Sinners, but the end to Kings of Mafia floored me. This was an amazing love story. A true page turner to the very end. The story was written with excellent depth and content. Damiano was truly the leader of the Costa Nostra and ruled with an iron fist. Little did he know the cold blooded leader found his perfect leading Lady that was right and under his nose. Their love story evolved in a beautiful way. Lots of action, heartbreak, and love. This is the best mafia family. Five families rolled into one. I hope their children take the reins next. Excellent love story. Great fantasy series and the writer definitely saved the best for last!!
