“Amazing story. Luca is awesome. You couldn’t help but love this couple. This was one Mob romance I LOVED. Well written with amazing characters. This was the first book I read by this author (yeah I was out of order there) and she is now going to be a. One-click for me! This series is great!”
Trilina Pucci, you took the possession of my heart with the Worship book and with every word you have written. Gretchen and Luca’s story consumed me and I’m craving more of them because this book was a delicious blend of emotions.
I love stories with a mafia plot. I love heroes like Luca with Italian charisma and heroines like Gretchen, all sassy, strong and sexy. My mind was spinning because every chapter in Worship brought something new, something unexpected and breathtaking.
But this love wasn’t easy. There were lots of things that stood on the path to heroes happiness. Their relationship from the beginning was so complicated and off- limits but they couldn’t resist their steamy chemistry, building between them. There were scenes that cause goosebumps all over my skin.
I won’t tell you their story but I can tell that this couple was one of my favorite, so intense that at the end of this book I felt like totally emotional wreck.
Luca was an alfa male just the way I like the most in the books. Powerful, dangerous and possessive. His arrogant attitude made him even more attractive. He captured me with his desire, passion and dirty talking that I could feel my blood was almost boiling.
Gretchen had so much strength that I was shocked how she was handling with a man like Luca. With her sassy mouth, spontaneous nature and confidence, she was equal to him.
Growing tension and angst between them was so alive that my heart beat quicken. I loved all their teasing, taunting and chasing games.
I need to mention second characters in this book which outstandingly fulfilled this story. King’s brothers were all swoony and swagger in real Italian blood way and their brotherhood. Family, Love and Honor was so profound and the most important thing in their life.
I could meet up Drew and Dom once again and take a look on their happy ever after life. I was wondering IF or HOW Luca and Gretchen will find their own happiness? They’ve had really bumpy road and it makes my heart broke many times.
If you like hot steamy taboo love stories, I highly recommend this book.

What a fantastic, goosebumpy, heart pitter pattering, amazing follow up to Truth!!! I thought Dominic couldn’t be topped, but OH MY LUCA! Like, talk about an new incredible book boyfriend alert!!!!
Luca and Gretchen’s story is super intense, angsty, sweet, delicious, scorching HOT. While their chemistry was super high and you just wanted them to give into each other, they would hold back and really built their friendship which made the story even better. Gretchen brought Luca’s sweetness out and he definitely brought it and more. There are complications in his life, which he is trying to figure out and wanting Gretchen in his life definitely makes things harder but he can’t stay away.
I loved this story so much, his rapport with the guys. Trilina’s writing gets better and better everytime she releases a book! Such a great book, with great characters and I want MORE!
Ladies, if you thought Truth was out of this world, then you haven’t read Worship yet!
My god, I was so enamored with Dom in Truth but hot damn, his twin brother Luca was even more sexu-I mean sensual, passionate and freaking HOT! The passion between him and Gretchen were leaving my kindle on FIRE (literally)!
I was completely lost with my nose buried in my kindle because Luca and Gretchen were just a riveting couple.
The turmoil I suffered with Gretchen for what she went through thinking and believing before actually listening to the real facts. You can’t always assume and you sure definitely shouldn’t just let things go without having a “talk” about what you either seen or heard. Gretchen believed that Luca loved her but she didn’t think she was enough for him to put her first before anything or anyone else.
The things this man had to go through in order to prove to Gretchen that she was “it” for him was down right sweet, sexy and oh, oh just so sexy!
Luca is the number 1 book bf of 2019!
Ok let’s start with DAAAMN, a man as sexy and powerful as Luka King speaking sweet and sexy Italian it’s panty melting delicious.
Worship is the second book of Sinful Series by Trilina Pucci. This series get more alluring, intriguing, dark and sensual with each book.
I love the romance between Dominic King and Drew but Luka and Gretchen’s story made my palpitations sky rock. It was a combination of all consuming love and pain, plus the mafia life style that added a perfect touch.
Luka King is just that a KING among his men. He is powerful, possessive, a complete alpha male. He is also the most protective man. He will do anything for family and for his loves.
Gretchen is strong, independent and she won’t let anybody tell her what she wants or how she wants it. She is an equal to Luka. They both are a perfect match.
Their chemistry was incredible, all consuming and fire burning delicious. Since the first day they met there was no denying how intense their connection would be. They are both flawed and dealing with lost and pain but will find in each other the imperfect perfection to make then whole again.
This is the second book in the sinful series and good lord does her writing keep getting better and better. This is the only the second book I have read by this author but I am already anxiously awaiting the next book. I loved Luca and Gretchen, especially since they were given to us in a very real way. Plus as I mentioned the writing is amazing and it is super easy to get lost in their story.
Luca is the brother of Dom (from the first book) and is no stranger to the hard life. He has been raised ruthless and taught family is everything. He understands this more than ever now that his daughter Ella is the most important in his life. His wife though is another story, she is only out for herself and Luca feels it’s his responsibility to make her pay.
Gretchen has been a honorary member of the King family for years and for all that time, her crush on Luca has never lessened. Now in an attempt to be friends, suddenly they become much more.
But lines have been drawn and sides must be chosen, but which way will it go? Read not to find out!

Put a fork in me, I’m done!
We first met Luca and Gretchen in Truth. We got a glimpse into the relationship and chemistry that was forming.
But holy moly I was not prepared for this bad boy side of Luca!! Talk about panty melting bad boy! His bloodiness combined with his alpha attitude was too delicious!! He just left me wanting more, oh so much more!
Their chemistry and attraction was undeniable! I’m a sucker for single dad stories, let’s face it, Luca was single in all senses in my book. I loved seeing snippets of Drew and Dom as well.
I cannot wait for the next one by Trilina Pucci!
Just when I thought there was no way I could like someone more than Dominic, in came Luca. Holy Alpha Hotness right there And he Rocked. My. World!
I knew I was going to love Gretchen after meeting her as Drew’s best friend in Truth, but I loved her more than I thought I would. Her inner strength was inspiring. She knows her worth and what she is willing to compromise, or not and won’t take anything less than what she deserves!
I loved the journey of these two coming together, despite different setbacks and obstacles. Working through their friendship to become what we knew they should’ve been all along. Absolute Perfection.
Well done Ms. Pucci! I will be anxiously (not so patiently) awaiting the next book in this series!
Yes! Yes! Yesssss!!!! Luca pissed me off on so many levels!!! But he also made me love him! I started out this book KNOWING that Gretchen was going to be a ridiculous strong female! She was going to have to be to keep up with this man. And boy are they an awesome pair! Trilina had me loving, then hating and then back to loving Luca! . Great! Freaking! Book! I wish I knew how to say “Absolutely a 5 read” in Italian …. Because it is!!!
Wow!!! This book should come with a warning. So here it is, Warning hot, Italian Alpha male. Luca King is life.
Worship is the second book of this serie and we follow Luca, Dominick King, twin brother. Trilina did an amazing job at writing this story, I didn’t think that it was gonna top Truth, but it did. Luca and Gretchen story is just captivating, the chemistry between this too is blazing hot.
Luca is dark, sexy, loyal he is a powerhouse that you don’t mess with.
Gretchen is strong willed, smart and the perfect woman to bring Luca to his knees. This two, wow! I’m in love with them. You feel for them and root for them to the end.
Trilinas writing has me hooked and I can’t wait for the next book in this Mafia/sin saga!!! Highly recommend and one of my top reads this year.
5 starts read!
Wow. Effing fantastic.
Worship is book 2 in the Sinful series, and an amazing follow up to Truth. Trilina has a way with words, she keeps you hooked to your kindle. I started this morning and read this book through in one sitting. Finished by noon… it was that good. Good is not a good enough word to describe this book.
Luca and Gretchen are such a great match. He’s all alpha, but she’s getting back at him with enough sass and confidence. She knows exactly how much she’s worth! Very entertaining story. Hot hot hot in between. I had to wipe away my tears, and I was laughing out loud. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. Great story line! Thank you so much!
I kindly received an arc for an honest review
Luca IS life!
Well well well…I sure didn’t think Dominic King could be dethroned but here we are. We were introduced to Luca in Truth, but I did not see him coming! His easy-going charm, and dark and deliciously dirty combination is potent. Plus he’s a devoted father? So many swoons, we need a new word for swoon! Luca’s need for revenge is all he sees until Gretchen enters his life. She is the perfect counterpart to him! Her intelligence, fire, and strong will make her the only person that can truly put Luca in his place. The chemistry between these two characters is effing amazing! Their banter is so fun and sexy!
Worship has that fantastic second chance/redemption feel with a sex club and mafia twist that I can’t get enough of. More questions emerge as to what is really going on in the (mob) family and it adds even more intrigue to the story. We meet and get to know more of the brothers and I’m hooked. I can’t wait to read more of the Sinful Series! 5 worshipful stars for Luca…err, I mean Worship!
“Love isn’t a lie—people are liars. Find someone to tell you the truth and you’ll find your soul mate.”
Luca was so worth the wait. Trilina delivers yet another captivating tale . It was a perfect mix of Emotions, angst and sizzling chemistry. Both Gretchen and Luca had a very unconventional relationship and I am in awe with how beautifully the story unfolds and kept me totally turning the pages to find out what is gonna happen next .
This is the second book I have read by Trilina and I have become a huge fan of her eloquent words. As soon as I I finished the story I already wanted the next book in this series. Highly recommend this book! Congratulations Trilina on yet another fabulous book under your belt.
The follow-up to my favorite book last year is here! This one is about Luca, the brother to Dominic (from TRUTH) and one man who I would let chase me any day. With equal parts of heartbreak and heart flutters, Trilina delivers a story that not only pulls on your emotional heartstrings, but she also tests the strength of them at every turn of the page. They get the work out they never expected with Lucas and Gretchen.
“I want to be her light, but in the end, I’ll ruin the thing that makes her desirable. I’ll snuff out her light.”
Gretchen really surprised me here, I have never respected a heroine in a book as much as I respect her. She knows her value and doesn’t settle for less. Luca was a whole lot more than I ever expected.
“The way her eyes grow hungrier the more she looks at me calls to me. I’ll never get enough. I’m going to spend my life giving her everything inside of me, and if that’s not enough, I’ll find what is and give her that.”
Trilina is a flat-out amazing writer. She is able to deliver a story that always feels fresh, unique, and flawless. I’m in deep and she has me eating out of the palm of her hand. I can’t wait for more from her.
I fell in love with his kinky twin brother but I want panty melting Luca to sweet talk me to sleep in Italian every night. Worship was so worth the wait, Brava Trilina! I don’t even care that I only had 4 hours of asleep after reading this book.
Luca and Gretchen were made for each other from their intimate romantic moments to that whole fight/jealousy scene with Mikey (my favorite by the way). You will have me checking my wine glass from now on and don’t get me started on a wine stopper. I loved the chase/slow burn of the relationship; it just made their first time together so much dirtier.
I loved every character in this book, well besides Shelby and Gio. I can’t wait for Dante and Sarah’s book – I need more Chruch!
This is a MUST READ series and by far Trilina’s best writing – even thou Come Back to Me holds a special place in my heart.
Luca is perfection as he straddles the line between God and demon.
Worship tells the story of Luca and Gretchen, and the beautiful sexuality of what stands behind true love. Luca misinterprets the strength Gretchen has, and believes that even in an uncertain situation Gretchen should believe him always.
The dance between the two of them is beautiful to watch, if occasionally uncomfortable to read. Would Luca really kill Shelby or hurt Michael?
Even closer to the end when it looks as though Luca might give Gretchen what she wants I was left questioning if this was true closure, or will he get dragged back in later?
An amazing novel of beautiful Italian, hot men and wicked smart women, Worship reminds us that some men and families are more dangerous than they appear. You’ve been warned.
4.5 stars
Worship is book two in the Sinful series and is Dominic’s brother Luca’s story.
Luca’s personal life is a complicated mess. The last thing he needs is for Gretchen to catch his eye and his attention. The sexual chemistry between these two is off the charts from the start but they both know there’s a line that they shouldn’t cross. Gretchen knows he’s off limits but the pull between them makes it hard to stay away from him and even though she doesn’t know the full story she knows enough to try and keep some distance between them. There’s a connection between these two characters that had me rooting for them to get together, and it’s more than just the sexual chemistry. The friendship they start to build between them and the progression of their relationship feels natural.
I loved both main characters. Luca is hot, sweet, sexy and even though he annoyed me at times I still really liked him. Gretchen is a strong lady. She knows her self worth and knows exactly what she wants from a man in her life. Luca has been completely focused on getting his revenge for months but now he’s going to have to decide what he wants more. He wasn’t expecting Gretchen to happen, he’s got his secrets and now he has a choice to make. Is his revenge more important than the strong, sassy, sexy woman that he can’t stop thinking about?
Worship is another great book in the Sinful series. I can’t wait for more.
