About this listen

A new stand-alone dark mafia romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, Siobhan Davis™.

Natalia Mazzone has grown up knowing she is promised to a made man. As the only daughter of one of New York’s most powerful mafia dons, she knows she can’t refuse. It’s her duty, and she would never dishonor her beloved father.

But the man she’s promised to is a monster. And there is nothing but torture, pain, and heartache lying in wait.

So, she grabs happiness when she finds it - in the somewhat reluctant arms of Leonardo Messina.

Leo is her brother’s best friend. A soldato for the Mazzone famiglia. A man with strong ambition and an even stronger resolve. He won’t allow them to give in to temptation, so Natalia is forced to love him from afar.

Until one forbidden night changes everything, and she readily hands Leo the key to her heart.

Leo risked everything for the one woman he can never have. He doesn’t regret it. It saved Natalia from a life of hell, but his actions set her on a different course.

One that doesn’t involve him.

Years have passed, and his feelings remain the same. Yet he keeps his distance, dedicating himself to his new role as underboss to Bennett Mazzone, while the love of his life is married to another man.

Until a twist of fate puts Natalia in his path again, and this time, he is powerless to resist.

This is a full-length stand-alone novel with no cliff-hanger and an HEA. For listeners who enjoy brother's best friend, second chance, dark mafia, forbidden romance.

Hot ,intense, Mafia story

Siobhan Davis Forbidden to Love, left me breathless. This action packed mafia story had me on the edge of my seat.
She captured all the raw emotions between Natalia and Leo and their forbidden love. Natalia has always loved Leo, her brother's best friend, but it is forbidden. Their torment, their love for each other, is forever.
Natalia is an innocent 17 year old girl, is resigned to her fate, to marry her father's choice. As the story develops, Natalia transforms into the strong, independent woman, who makes her own choices
Twists and turns, secrets, who to trust? There is a traitor in their midst.
The suspense, the brutality, the self doubts, the fears, loss , and the stolen moments of love with Leo makes this story so exceptional.
Sarah Puckett and Michael Gallagher narration is perfection. They bring depth to each character. I can feel each moment of emotion, anguish, anger, torment, throughout the story. Thank you for bringing thIs story to life.

OH THE FEELS!!!!!

✨A TOP LISTEN OF 2022✨

There is so much I could say about this story! I took 2 FULL PAGES of notes! Basically Natalia is in love with Leo, who is best friends with her brother, and very low on the mafia scale. She is basically a mafia princess so she has been promised to another man that is an heir to a territory. And Leo is in love with her too..... but they can not be together. There are so many things that happen over a span of 13 or 14 years that keeps them apart before they both finally give in and go after what they want. But it is not without risk, and they both know this!

There is so much that happens, that my heart was breaking over and over again. And there was a time when I felt sorry for Leo... and another where I was like "he made his bed" ..... but then he turned all super swoony!!! And I couldn't help but love him for her! The man that she ends up marrying had lost his wife in a car crash and needed a wife to take care of his twin boys. The bond that they had was so fantastic! It was really heart warming to read about! I just loved everything about this book! I don't think that I have one bad thing to say about it! And the narration really brought the characters to life! Sarah and Michael nailed it with these characters!

Mazzone Mafia ♥️

Audio Review:
Forbidden to Love (Mazzone Mafia, Book 2) brings a unforgettable story fruitful with angst, darkness and a world of mafia. The writing style is captivating and compelling. Characters are entertaining. Heartbreak that is hard to forget. I loved this story so much and hated the heartwretching times as tear's drop like raindrops fall. This author wrote a addictive story drenched with words that flow to the very end. I absolutely loved the ending.

Michael Gallagher, Sarah Puckett duet narration is utterly profound. Sarah Puckett is a favorite narrator of mine and this performance exceeded my expectations. Her unmarred performance brought this heartbreaking story to reality. Her portrayal of Natalia was a high caliber performance, her inflection is smooth and her tone adjusts with Natalia's emotions. Michael Gallagher was the perfect choice to portray the Leo and the male characters. His inflection gives off an aura of mafia.

Nat and Leo

Nat and Leo always had feelings for each other but she being his best friend's sister but she was promised to marry someone else before she was even born. I hated that she would not tell someone what her fiancé was doing. Hated that Leo and Matteo messed around with Nat's arch nemesis. Anyway there was alot of heartbreak, double crossing, revenge, decent, action, denial, anger, archaic behavior, but there was some good planning and well deserved happiness. Then leadi up to the next story. Narrators always do well together.

4 STARS

I am not a huge fan of books that go from past to present but I really liked this one. Having met both characters in the first book it made me even less patient waiting to get to part 2. I felt bad for Nat and Leo especially seeing firsthand how hard it was for them to stay apart when growing up so close together. Many ups and downs will keep your emotions on a roller coaster ride.
Narration was duet which is my favorite!

Loved this book so much!!!

I absolutely loved hearing this book come to life with these narrators! They did a fabulous job and had me listening until the very end. This story grabbed me from the beginning, which is a specialty of this author!!! From the first chapter I was hooked!! Nat and Leo's love story didn't go the way we all dream of as little girls. Oh no this one was raw, twisted, forbidden from the start but so pure it hurt at times. Coming from a mafia family there are obligations and business deals that take place that leaves Nat being married to the person who she isn't completely in love with and it will grab your heart and twist it at how unfair it all feels. This was another story that is added to my list of favorites from Siobhan and I just know it won't be the last one. I can't wait to see what else this author's brilliant mind comes up for us to read!!!

Leo and Nat are straight fire!!!!

Forbidden To Love is a Standalone in the same wheelhouse as Condemned To Love and it does follow the same kinda a path, has the same amazing characters. If you read CTL then you already know Natalia and Leo. If not it’s okay but I do suggest reading it first. No it’s not a series. There is no cliffhanger. It’s just a really amazing read by an awesome writer who knows my heart. I may not know her in real life but I feel close to her thorough her characters. She’s like a best friend I don’t really know personally but we have a love/hate relationship. No I’m seriously not stalking her but it’s like having a best friend that lives in another country that you hope to one day meet because you adore them so much. When I sit down to read one of Siobhan books I love her death. I love getting to know the characters, getting engrossed in their lives. Learning their quirks and their weakness. Knowing them on a intimate level as well. You’re with them every step of the way and FTL is no different. I fell in love with Leo and Natalia separately back in CTL but now I’m in love with their love. It’s the kind of love that defies time and all obstacles. It’s the forever, can’t eat, can’t sleep, can enjoy pleasure without them kinda love. It’s the kinda love fairytales are made of yet it’s not a fairytale at all. It’s harsh, real and hard. Although together they are unbreakable…apart they are destroyed and broken. The other part of themselves out in the world somewhere not where it should be. This was the kinda love Leo and Nat have. The kind girls dream about and boys tease about. It a beautifully broken love story that will bring you to your knees and make you beg for more. I cried big ugly boo hoo tears, I literally laughed about loud and I was so angry that I wanted to break bones and faces. Seriously it’s that consuming. The kind of story where you forget to water your plants and feed the animals. The kind of story you forget you aren’t really a part of the story because you feel it in every morsel of your being that you are there with them. With every heart break, every death, every messed up angry word, every forbidden moment that is shared. You are there in the room watching as they either love each other so throughly you feel it when and then they yell so loud you actually hear the harsh words being thrown, you feel it is at you personally. Yes I promise you that’s how all of Siobhans reads are for me. But we aren’t suppose to be talking about the others so oops sorry. My ADD is kicking in lol. FTL brought me to my knees and shattered my heart into a million pieces. Siobhan knocks me down with each and every read and this one was no different. It consumed be completely. So don’t wait preorder your copy today otherwise I am sure you will regret it. It’s not an I might read, it’s a gotta have more kinda read. It can be read as a standalone but I do recommend reading Condemned to Love first other wise hello spoilers bad! Enjoy friends. I know I did. And Siobhan…well good girl. I wasn’t sure for a while there it was touch and go. But you made it up to me in a BIG way. Lots of love from one of your biggest fans in Alabama! Can’t wait for your next book and this one isn’t even out yet lol. I received a free advanced copy to read and review.
So as you can tell I read this book as an ARC before it was even released into the public and I devoured every word and feeling like it was my own. I was fan girling all over Siobhan and not much has changed. She changed how I read books. Honestly until her I didn’t read mafia or dark romance but now it’s almost ALL I read. The narrators brought Leo and Nat even more alive for me. I could listen to this over and over again and I don’t think I’d get tired of it. It’s phenomenal even all these years later. Its just made me fall in love with these two all over again. If you have read FTL the audio doesn’t take away from it…it just brings it to live.

Another great addition to the Series!

This is the second book in the Mazzone Mafia series, a Dark Mafia Romance. Natalia and Leo's forbidden romance is captivating! The storyline is breathtakingly well written, intricate, and intense, filled with secrets, action, danger, and unpredictable twists and turns. Natalia is beautiful, strong, smart, and determined. Leo is handsome, protective, and enigmatic. They are perfect together. This is an excellent second chance to love. Their story is tragic, and beautiful. The world building is intricate and enthralling. The supporting characters are intriguing. Sarah Puckett and Michael Gallagher did an outstanding job with the narration. If you like Dark Mafia Romance, this series is definitely for you. I enjoyed it, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Looking forward to listening to Scared to Love, the next book in the series. Siobhan Davis never disappoints. #TheFlock
