Publisher's summary

Violet Vendetti was the Bottaro princess - was.

She’d been betrothed to the Capo dei capi of New York, without ever knowing it.

A deal made, is a deal kept, as far as the Vendetti Crime family is concerned. No matter that it was her father to plead for her safety offering up her hand in marriage amongst other promises. The Capo always comes to collect what is owed.

Violet is swept away into a world she thought she knew, only to discover everything isn’t what it may seem. From family traditions to deals struck, she learns exactly what it takes to be the Vendetti queen.

This is part two in a duet. Please listen to The Vendetti Empire prior. This book is VERY steamy, so be ready! * OTTA *Dark* If you can't handle thinking outside the box, you can't handle this book. It's hot, full of racy scenes and for open minded listeners wanting to listen to a suspenseful, non-cookie cutter book. This book is for those of us bored with the everyday romance listen everyone else is writing. If you click, you're warned. Also, welcome to the dark side, let me entice your mind.*

The Vendetti Devil

Have listened to this series several times. Hopefully The Vendetti Devil, story of Dante will make audio.

Great book

Love mafia books. Love audiobooks. Love awesome writing and amazing chemistry but, I especially love Sapphire's books. Can't wait to read more books by this super talented author.

The Vendetti Tradition

The Vendetti Queen had a slow start as the first half still focused on the Vendetti tradition. And while this might be the foundation of the family, it was a bit too much for me. Fortunately, the story picked up as Violet has to deal with her family and she and Matteo consolidate their marriage. I do wish the drama with Violet's family had been interwoven and developed more.

There are more glimpses to mafia elements and the lifestyle, yet most of them are not fully develop. The connection with Italy, the arranged marriages, and the hints to the next books were fascinating. So were the epilogues, which give more insight into Violet and Matteo as a solid mafia couple. And Matteo's birthday present? Shockingly perfect.

After listening to the audiobook, I must say that the narrators took away from the story. I understand it was a challenge because of the many characters, but the male voice was inconsistent when it had to interpret one of the younger six Vendetti brothers. Meanwhile, Violet always sounded the same even amid tragedy.

The Vendetti Queen

This series has become a guilty pleasure to listen too. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the series. Sapphire Knight has a way of writing that makes you blush.

I want more!

Sapphire did an amazing job with this second book. This story is full of dominance and passion and the hotness oh boy there's plenty of that. We get to see Violet grow and Matteo and her as a team together. I loved listening to every page it was like bringing that character's to life the two of them did a fantastic job with the narration the story. I can't wait to read or listen to the next book in this series.
