[close] [bookcover:Sergio: a Dark Mafia Romance|39090197]

I’m the first-born son of the mafia king. The favorite. Destined to rule, I’m a dangerous man, a ruthless one. But in my world, you have to be.

Then Natalie stumbles into my life. Wrong place. Wrong time.

Twice, fate put her in my path.
Twice, fate placed the innocent lamb at the mercy of the monster.

I gave her a chance to walk away. Told her it would be better for her if she did.
But she didn’t listen.
And now it’s too late.
Because I’m not good. I never wanted to be. And I won’t let her go anymore. See, I’m not the hero. When I touch her, it’s with dirty hands.

I know my reckoning is coming though. I know I’ll burn for the things I’ve done, the sins I’ve committed. And I don’t deny hell is where I belong, but I want my time first. I want my time with her.

She’s mine.
Forever.
No matter what.

Author’s Note: Sergio: a Dark Mafia Romance is an intensely emotional, steamy and dark standalone romance set in the Benedetti Brothers Mafia world. Be prepared: this is not a traditional romance.

The second time is years later, Natalie has sneaked into an old building to take pictures for her architecture studies when she witnesses mob business and is discovered hiding.

You could say this is a love at second site romance, fate maybe? Sergio definitely found love, support, and happiness at the right time.

This is a very moving story, a story I was caught up in right from the beginning. Deep and touching thoughts from a mob boss, how life always feels like it's on the countdown, enemies and family rivals at every turn with no room for fear. Sergio knows the life he was born into is dangerous.

Natalie is given the opportunity fall deeper in love or walk away. A tug of war between the two, right or wrong, can she, cant she be involved in this lifestyle, a simple girl whose only worries before meeting Sergio was her studies. Natalie follows her heart and a heart over the head decision is made.

I was moved by Sergio's thoughts, feelings, actions.

Sergio loved and lived fiercely.

"Mine no matter what"

I can't tell you I finished this book with dry eyes, I can't tell you It didn't tug on my heart, but I can tell you this, if you love mafia romance this is a must-read.

Brilliantly written, every book in this series leaves me in awe of this author.
Every character has a different story to tell, this is Sergio's, it was beautiful, it was heartwarming and it kind of broke me.

Sergio can be read as a standalone
Told in first person dual pov
