About this listen
When the Mayor of our city begs me to keep his precious daughter safe, I seize my chance to strengthen the DeLuca hold on the town.
I’ll keep her safe, but it’ll come at a price.
Mia Gordon, the sheltered heiress, must become my wife.
She’s a stranger to our brutal world.
A symbol.
A means to an end.
A strategic move, nothing more.
But as I draw her into my shadowed life, shielding her from the ghost of our fathers’ past, I realize she’s more than a pawn. Every defiant glare, every whispered challenge stirs something dark and hungry within me. She’s an enigma, a mystery wrapped in innocence and hidden depths.
Protecting Mia becomes more than duty; it’s a burning need. The deeper we dive into the lies that bind her family to mine, she becomes more than just my wife in name. Mia’s the unexpected light in my dark world.
But can love be our salvation in a life built on blood and deceit, or will buried secrets destroy it all?
Dario DeLuca: Savage Bloodline is an interracial (BWWM), forced marriage, age-gap, mafia romance that is a gripping tale of love, loyalty, and survival in a world where nothing is as it seems.©2024 Sade Rena & ML Preston (P)2024 Recorded Books

I planned on focusing on my daughter, making her my number one priority, until I met a stranger determined to derail all my plans.

“I do.” Words I never thought would escape my lips. Now they bound me to the charismatic head of the Volkov Bratva, Nikolai Volkov. His mesmerizing blue eyes, charming smile, and silky smooth voice would be my downfall, and yet, also my salvation. The two simple words would also be a personal vow to destroy my stepmother and enemies. If I’m forced to be bound to the mafia life forever then I’ll show them all. I’ll show them how far this ‘angel’ has fallen. I’m not a pawn like they all think.

Story
Let me start from the beginning… To stay out of jail, I’m forced to spy on Kyle Townsend, the billionaire heir to the Townsend Industries throne. My plan is simple: infiltrate Townsend Industries, get evidence of their alleged illegal dealings, and fork it over to the person blackmailing me. Then I’ll be free to leave that life of crime behind me forever and raise my niece in the peace she deserves. But Kyle’s smarter than the average trust fund baby. He’s also ruthless and distrustful. He never lets anyone in…until one day at work. I get sick. He’s there to care for me.

My rules in life are simple: Never have a woman in your bed for more than one night. Never mix business with pleasure. Never fall in love. Blood above all else. When life throws a new personal assistant at me, everything changes. I shouldn't want her, but I can't help it. She is breaking my focus, and all my "nevers" are turning into "maybes."

Story
In a single soul-destroying moment, I discover my husband has an entire other family. And while there are two great men ready to help me heal my broken heart, it's almost impossible to choose which one is the best man for the job: the handsome police detective, or my too-sexy-for-his-own-good teaching assistant.

Parker was the last thing I expected when I packed my bags and moved to small-town Texas after learning my then-ex cheated two months before our wedding. All I knew is that I wanted to be far away. With my savings and a broken heart, I purchased a fixer-upper and took the next plane to a place where only one person knew my name. It was supposed to be my perfect opportunity to start over and scrub the male species from my mind. And it would have worked had Parker not smiled at me from the other end of the bar with eyes so blue they'd make a nun swoon.

After the death of her husband, young mob princess Willa Callahan returns to her hometown of Boston, where another marriage awaits her.

Story
From the moment I walked away from my old life and started a new one in the small town of Shadowvale, I learned there were three rules I should follow if I wanted to survive—One: don’t go outside at night alone. Two: don’t ask questions about the obviously haunted house at the far side of town. And three: don’t catch Hunter Reed’s attention. Me? I broke all three almost immediately. The Reeds own Shadowvale. They live in the haunted house, and everyone seems afraid of them

As a wolf, my hate towards Hunters was born from fire and blood. What's the most embarrassing thing you can do at the airport? Try accidentally stealing a sinfully gorgeous stranger's bag at the carousel—a stranger who also happens to be a dangerous bratva boss. It doesn't take him long to track me down. And from the knowing smile on his face when I open the door... I know he saw everything I packed for my best friend's bachelorette party, from the dresses to the heels to the scandalously tiny swimsuit.

Great read
I really liked this book and wish the series had more male and female narrators. I know it makes for a great story however I would've had some long stranding issues with my father if he gave me away as currency for family protection....ESPECIALLY since the protection wasn't even that great lol. I'm like, Dario, how you call yourself a protector, security team and the ppl you're supposed to protect are getting shot up??? Great read though!

Story is good but unnecessarily wordy and descriptive
I enjoyed the story but it’s hard to stay invested in the story as it’s overtly descriptive… (I.e…I’m acutely aware that I’ve crossed an undying precipice… “) it’s a lot of words, which takes away from the story.

Great Story With Suspense of Disbelief....
And Glaring Inconsistencies.
Tom Kain 😘 A new to me performer....he was so good I wouldn't have minded if he performed this title solo...his italian accent was chef's kiss! Eden Lafon was also good; she has a soothing, asmr quality type of voice. Her italian accent needs work; she sounded good, but it sounded nigerian or something close to that. I liked her, but I'm a bit more partial towards male performers 😍
Now for the inconsistencies: I kept wanting to know what happened to Mia's male friend from college - he and Mia had a reunion at a party and at some point they were re-inacting some antic they use to do that (naturally involved of course) him putting his hands on Mia. Dario of course sees this and is not happy so in a jealous rage (which I thought was in front of the other guests and reporters) crushed said college male friend's wrist. Dario carries Mia out and of course screws her into submission... What gets me is non of the guests seem to have seen this, nothing in the papers about this and Mia never explains who the college male friend is to Dario nor does she go to the hospital to check on him. It was like the college friend was written in to show us that Dario is possessive of Mia, then after that show, the college male friend disappears.
Now for the suspension of disbelief: First off, I love that Mia is a fluffy gal, but I couldn't comprehend how she is a size 18 woman in today's world and lives in the ever judging public eye and hasn't felt or experienced any insecurities for being obese? She could still have self-esteem but it would be difficult without some kind of help. And you can bet as strong as Dario is, he wouldn't have been able to lift Mia for a long time to have sex against the wall and I don't think Mia would have had the muscle strength to lift her legs and wrap them around Dario for long. I know this because I was a size 18 at one point and I still went to the gym.
Also, what mafia romance with a man as beautiful and powerful as Dario not have any OW drama?
And lastly, I guess it would be nice but...no racism at all? No issues with an Italian Mafioso with a plus-sized black woman? Yeah...this would be nice indeed.
4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen; I probably won't
