THE BIKER & THE MAFIA PRINCESSA 🖤❤️OUTSTANDING❤️🖤

Having listen to, and loved, the Born In Blood Mafia Chronicles I knew I should wait until both books in this 2nd gen Duet were released. So the wait was hard.. but then, oh the joyful, giddy anticipation, because it was finally here.. and OMG the two books were stuffed full and overflowing with all the delicious goodies I love. There’s suspense, intrigue, sexual chemistry, star-crossed lovers, danger, violence, tested family loyalties, enemies-lovers, sex and swoons in the doomed story of a badass Biker falling in love with a virgin Mafia Princessa.

Maddox and the Tartarus MC hate the Vitiello Mafia familia and the feeling is mutual. Many years ago, when five year old Maddox witnesses the brutal bloody massacre of his father and Club members by the enraged Don Luca Vitiello, Maddox swears revenge. So, present day, Marcella Vitiello is a pawn taken from her Father’s guilded cage and thrown into a filthy fighting dog’s cage to await her unknown future. Which will include abuse, degradation, humiliation, torture and shame.. but it will also lead to her rebirth too as she rises like a Phoenix from the ashes of her kidnapping with strength, fortitude, dignity, determination.. and the selfless love of her biker. But, will Maddox give up his revenge, his friends, his family, his lifestyle and his Club for her and, if he does, how will he survive the Vitiello anger, distrust and hate.. or is the cost going to be too great?

I really questioned how these two soul-mates could ever get to a reasonable ending never mind a happy ever after one.. but this talented author slowly worked her magic and built a bridge over the chasm between Maddox and Marcella’s violent worlds. She skilfully picked off enemies on both sides and placated others. She infused the action-packed chapters with angst, drama, violence, chills, tension, suspense and bloody betrayals. She gave strength, character growth and purpose to her characters and filled their hearts with love.. and yes, she delivered a blissful happy ending I thought I’d never see. Wen and Kai delivered five star performances as they brought the book, its cast of characters and wealth of feels to life which made it hard to pause or stop this exciting dual POV story.

Worth a credit? I have hours of downtime thanks to Covid.. but thankfully this Duet has been both my salve and my salvation when I needed it the most. And yes, both books are very creditworthy.. and I’m looking forward to whatever comes next from Cora Reilly.

Need a part 3

I wish there was apart 3 to maddox and Marcelas story. Though they had a rough start their mafioso fairy tale ending was truly beautiful.

by sin I rise by 1 and 2

I love cora tolley books. she is the best mafia author ever. I did not enjoy this book as much. I thought the MC and the mafia did not mesh well together. the narrators were pretty good but the story just wasn't up to par for me. good action and ok romance. I'm hoping Almo story is better.

Maddox & Marcella

Part 2 is the conclusion to Marcella & Maddoxs story. I honestly didnt enjoy this book as I did the first one, but I was invested and pushed through. Its not that it was bad but it just lacked the actions/suspense I was hoping for. I enjoyed watching the oof their relationship but parts felt really rushed. Overall, it was a great read & Wen and Kai did a fantastic job narrating.

Maddox & Marcella

Love their beautiful love story. Even against all the family dynamics they make it happen!! Love it!

Love it!

I really love Cora’s world she built so it doesn’t surprise me that I liked this one!

Love this couple!!!💋

After all she is the princess of New York 👑. MadDog Maddox doesn’t know just how strong the chemistry will be between them. Lol. He worships her and that’s how it works. Love the Familia, the Camorra, the Outfit! Great love stories along with action and suspense.🥀

Condense

Book 2 was a huge disappointment for me. It dragged, especially the first half. The storyline was generally subpar. And our poor biker boy gave up everything. He didn’t even get to keep his own name in the end. Lack of balance. More emphasis on lust than love. No moments that give you all the feels. Not worth your time or money imo. Author could have easily condensed the story into one book. Narrators are good.

Love the Narration and characters but....

Not a big fan of the storyline but like the characters and narrators. I can't really say more without spoiling the story for others.

so much sex

i had to read it because it was part two and i needed to know what happened. totally could have been put at the end of part one. there’s more sex in this book than there is story line. kind of disappointed this is how the series is ending for now.
