About this listen
Santino is my king. My lover. My husband.
He’s the head of the Cavallo crime family and the moment he choked my vows from me, my life was bound to his.
I’m done fighting my fate, until I hear two rumors, and I’m shaken to the core.
One rumor about the past—that I wasn’t the first bride Santino took.
Another about the future—a new bride is about to be taken.
Changing the old ways is like dousing the flames of hell with tears.
But I married the devil himself, and when I vowed to obey, I lied.
Book two of three in the The Dilustro Arrangement.

Some girls dream of marrying a prince, but I never imagined I’d be sold to a king. When he forced me to marry him, I cried for love I’d never know. When he locked me away, I cried for the freedom I lost forever. Every other tear I’ve shed is for my soul, because I’m falling for the devil himself.

My father’s sold me into marriage for the good of the family. In the back of the limo, next to my Daddy, I promise myself I’m going to do everything I can to be a good wife.

Story
Taylor Harden is a man on the edge. The edge of fame. The edge of untold wealth. The edge of utter humiliation. He built an unhackable system, and in front of everyone, it gets hacked. His reputation goes from king to goat in a split second. Boom. Like that. Some dude in Barrington, USA (AKA Nowhere) has locked down Taylor's code, and if he does not get it back, he is going to be wearing a monkey suit for the rest of his life. Except, this guy? This hacker from Nowhere? He is not a guy. Harper Watson is all woman. And she has a plan for Taylor, his code, and his body.

Story
Her father promised me life on the legal side if I saved his only daughter. I was her last hope. Something about this rich, spoiled princess captured me from the moment I laid my eyes on her. This green-eyed beauty made me want things I never had. She was untouchable. If I were decent, I’d keep my distance. But God knew I was the worst kind of sinner. She shouldn’t have wanted my touch. Now she was mine.

I sit on a throne of sins. Silent in the shadows, untouchable like the King of the Underworld himself. Few even know the sound of my voice, but those who fear me call me Monster. My men just call me Pakhan. To her, I am Nikolai. Her savior. Her captor. Her lover. With hair as bright as the sun, a face that could sink a thousand ships, and more curves than I can handle, Cassiopeia. Is. Everything. But she’s in danger. And safety comes with a price tag.

Arrogant bosshole with some dirty secrets. Sounds tempting, right? Wrong. Kirill Zaitsev is anything but tempting. Sure, he’s tall and broad and muscular in all the right places. And sure, he’s richer than several small countries. And yes, fine, his eyes do make me feel loopy, and he does smell like mint and musk, and there’s also the way his jaw clenches when he… Sorry, where was I? Oh yeah. Bosshole. Dirty secrets. Anyway, all those things sound fine and dandy. For a little while, I thought so, too. Then I learned who Kirill really is—a killer, a tycoon, a mafia don.

McKay: I wasn’t the one who broke her, but I helped. She came to us when she was 10. I raised her. I loved her. I taught her how to survive in a world of evil men. But it wasn’t enough. Adam: I wasn’t the one who saved her but I did my best. Bought and paid for on the auction block. But not for the reasons you think. She was my weapon. Donovan: I wasn’t the one who lied to her but I hid her truth. She was broken before I got there. Wild and angry. Defiant and bratty. But she trusted me most. She loved me best. So I set her free.

Story
The first time I laid eyes on Henley James, I was mesmerized. The chemistry between us was like nothing I’d ever felt. Impeccable suit, dimpled smile. He was charming and gorgeous, sophisticated and suave. He gave me his business card and asked me to call. His dating game was strong; I was gone from his first smile. I’d love to tell you our date was a raging success, but it wasn’t. Far from it. I decided right there on that day that Henley James and I would forever be mortal enemies; I would never think of him again.

I’m a hot-as-eff, inked-up tattoo artist at the trendiest shop in the Rocky Mountains. I have the looks; I have the bike; I have the reputation. That means I get the ladies. Sure. There are lots of women out there who hate tattoos. Wouldn’t be caught dead with guys like me. And that’s fine. I’m not looking for girls like that. I’m looking for that other kind of girl. The hot one, the bad one, the crazy one. Funny thing is...the one I fell for isn’t that girl. She’s the good girl.

So of course she isn't interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet's misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Fantastic Romeo/Juliet esque story
CD Reiss writes books like no other author I’ve read before. She has this amazing way of captivating the reader, really pulling them into the story. I loved how exhilarating this story was, really giving a Romeo and Juliet vibe with a mafia twist. I also now appreciate calling someone a “cabbage” as an insult.
Elena Wolfe and Marcio Catalano did such a spectacular job with their performance of this story.
Elena picked the perfect tone and inflection for Delfina, whose characteristics are very demure, and doll-like on the outside, but she has a feisty side that no one else ever sees, especially the men around her. Elena's voice is just very soothing and easy to listen to. She had the right amount of gravel to her tone when narrating the male characters, it blended very nicely.
Marcio is the king of accents. Each character that he narrated had a completely different accent and tone that you really believe there were multiple people narrating this, no character sounded the same. I loved the tone he used for Massimo, not too gravely and growly, but the right amount of “firmness” that matched that character’s possessive attitude. My favorite was when he was narrating for a drunk Aris, that had me straight cackling.
My only ever so slight critique would be that while Marcio provided an accent for all his character where need be, such as an Italian accent for Delfina’s character, Elena did not. It took away from the flow of the story ever so slightly and felt it would’ve really elevated the narration. BUT I still loved this oh so much and I highly, highly recommend it.

LOVE.
CD Reiss has written so many mafia series (I think this is her 4th one), but they are each wonderfully different in their own way.
Even though Massimo Colonia is the brother of the main female character in the Take Me series, this book can definitely be read without reading that series (although, I highly recommend that trilogy. It is heaven under the olive trees, or some Italy metaphor that is just out of my grasp).
Massimo is disgraced and living in a kind of purgatory in Italy, but yearns to return to New York and seize back his Father's Kingdom. And then he meets and rescues Delfina. Fates collide and true love and passion both scream at you and whisper through the pages directly from the always eloquent and poetic words of Reiss.
I love this sort of book from time to time, but only when it's done well. And this author is one that I trust to hit the nail on the head every time.
I listened to the audiobook.
I'm in love. I'm in love with the voice of Marcio Catalano. Elena Wolfe is excellent as always. Highly recommend this audio

Brillant
CD's writing, as always, is impeccable. If you love drama, intrigue and thrilling elements, Mafia Kingdom will have you on the edge of your SEAT.
It's an emotionally rich and intense mafia romance and the brilliantly written "bridge" to the enticing world of Carmine Montefiore, Mafia Capo and King of Vampires.
The narration for this book was perfect. Elena Wolfe and Marcio Catalano narrated each character exactly as I would have imagined them.

Interesting
Not going to lie, I was very confused this whole story. I felt like I was between series and was missing a major plot point. I was interested because I wanted everything to finally snap together but it never really does…until the Authors Note at the end. Then everything made more sense. The story was intriguing with parts that were going to make up a whole eventually. This is kind of like a big prologue and once you hear the authors note it makes even more sense. Reading Mafia Bride first I think would help tie a lot of this together so if this story intrigues you start there. The narration by Marcio and Elena was good. Both give a lot of emotion to their characters and there are a lot of different characters for them to bring to life.

Confused.
I’m a little unsure of how to proceed with reviewing this one, since I’m not sure how I feel about it. The story is unique, with its blends of genres, and it is well-written and very interesting with its mystery and suspense. I’m assuming that, based on the author’s note, there will be a continuation of sorts to be released in a few years. I do hope it is a continuation of this, and not a standalone that just includes these characters as the other stories do, because I’m left trying to figure out what just happened. There are so many loose ends remaining when the story comes to an abrupt halt. Not really a cliffhanger, but not a resolution, either. It’s a complex story, difficult to follow because of the complexities that are just hinted at, or implied, but never really confirmed. It’s not as steamy as some of her other stories, but still has some spice and lots of passion. I did enjoy the feel of an older writing style superimposed over a modern setting, but it did cause me a little dissonance. The feeling was similar to that of Dracula, and other Gothic Romance stories. One thing I never cared for with gothic classics is the tendency to lack a satisfying denouement. That’s one element this book retained, albeit, loosely and with a promise of a potential resolution to come—however vague and mysterious. While I really enjoyed this story and thoroughly appreciated its unique blending of genre styles, I need a bit more clarity and explanation. Not necessarily a thorough and complete explanation—just a bit…more. It leaves much to be desired. This one is unique for sure. I don’t regret it. But it just feels like a cliffhanger without being a cliffhanger. I am from the “old school” when cliffhangers between books/movies/sitcoms/etc. were perfectly acceptable, so unlike many who rate harshly because of them, I am ok with them (as long as an author isn’t chopping up shoddy content into 3-4 poorly written books in order to capitalize on it as a series that should have been a single book). So, I feel like—hope that this HEA was just a temporary pacification for the whiners who can’t handle a cliffhanger and that a real resolution is coming in a few years. The quality of this story is superb. I can’t imagine what it could become if the Reiss continues the story and brings all the loose threads together. It has so much potential. In the meantime, I am going to to check out some of her other books. I’ve listened to/read most of hers, but haven’t checked out the vampire ones—so, let’s see if I can get a clearer picture while I wait for her next release.

Good book
Interesting start to new series. Good narration and interesting twist. Vampires in the future sounds interesting.
