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.

My Review:

Mafia King is the second book in the DiLustro Trilogy, full of shocking twists to leave you hooked from beginning to end.

The story picks up right after it left off in Mafia Bride with Violetta finding out that she might not have been meant for Santino from the start. It’s been weeks since she has learned the truth and she cannot look at her husband without thinking of the possibility that he could be hiding other things from her as well. She can’t believe that she was just a nursing student not that long ago, with a life of her own. Nevertheless, Violetta had no idea that she would end up married to the most powerful mobster in Second Vasto. But now that she knows that her sister was involved with Santino, she wants to know what truly happened to her. Santino took her sister away from her and now Violetta is ready to make him pay and watch him struggle. Yet, there are a lot more things to the story that Santino is not telling her and finding out the truth could change their future forever.

C.D. Reiss delivers an action packed story filled with an emotional rollercoaster between Santino DiLustro and Violetta. In Mafia Bride we get to see the characters go through a series of obstacles as secrets are fully revealed, putting their relationship at risk. Santino promised to protect Violetta, but she still struggles to accept the way his people make deals and it puts her at constant risk. He never expected to fall for her the way he did and it’s when he finally tells her the actual truth that she starts to see him in a new light. But the shocking twist at the end has me wanting to read the third book asap! The books just keep getting better and I cannot wait to read the final book in the trilogy, Mafia Queen.:)

My Rating: 4.5/5

About the Author: 

CD Reiss has a long history of aimlessly moving from place to place. She finally settled in Los Angeles where she earned a master’s degree in cinematic writing from USC. After graduation, she ultimately failed to have one line of dialog put on film, but stayed in Hollywood out of spite.

Since screenwriting was going nowhere, she switched to novels. Soon after, luck arrived with a complete set of baggage. She now has over two dozen titles under her belt. Two of those are NY Times Bestsellers and a handful more are USA Today bestsellers. Her audiobooks have won APA Audie Awards and Earphones Awards, swelling her ego to an inhuman size.

She lives with her family, two cats and her long-suffering husband in a small Hollywood house that’s been outfitted with huge, ego-sized doorways.
