My name is Dante Sovrano, head of the Chicago Mob.I run this city. Everyone bows down to me.With one exception.Sarah London.The first night we met, I knew we shared the same appetites. She never said “Mercy” and all I said was “Good … same appetites. She never said “Mercy” and all I said was “Good girl.”
But the next time, Sarah stood up, looked me in the eye, and pulled the damn trigger.
It’s funny, the moment I saw her, I knew she’d be trouble.
And definitely my brand—fiery, cutthroat, wrapped up in a lickable package.If anyone was made for me, it’s this woman.
But dark secrets hide behind those gorgeous blue eyes.

Well, That was Hot!!!! Dante Sovrano is the head of the Chicago Mob. He can have whatever he desires and what he desires most is Sarah London. Sarah manages an exclusive sex club, Church, owned by Dante and his brothers. “She’s like our sister,…then I want to @&&^ our sister.” Omg, LOL. When Sarah’s past has a way of catching up with her can Dante keep her protected even if she doesn’t want it? These two, wow what a hot couple Dante and Sarah are to read! This was a sexy, seductive and fast paced book with just the right amount of suspense. This is also my first book from this author and I need to get the other books now. A Must Read mafia love story; Told in dual POV
“I hope they paid for that, Mr. Sovrano . Who would be stupid enough to shoot you?” My face grows serious at the thought. “My late wife.”
This is the opening scene for Depraved, wherein Trilina Pucci and her Dante have blown my mind for the last 5 hours.
Dante is a pretty typical mob leader, his temper gets the best of him, he’s fiery, and he knows he wants Sarah from the first time he saw her. Sarah knows he’s going to be her reckoning, so much fun, and the last man she wants for her lifetime.
The battle back and forth through this entire book kept me on my toes, racing to the end thinking I must surely have missed something. Pieces are reminiscent of The War of The Roses , except the sex is 200x hotter than anything the middle ages could have come up with. Sarah and Dante fighting it out was one of the highlights of this book for me, and the spats between the brothers are so much fun, guaranteed to make me laugh out loud as they throw bread, napkins, and ice at one another.
I was seriously concerned that Dante would decide to leave Sarah where she was after she walked away, but the ending is one I could never have imagined. An absolutely delicious, 5 star treat: Dante and Sarah are hotter than Worship and Truth combined, and prove that love doesn’t have to be calm or submissive
Dante, Dante…Dante. Where do I start? This book is a brilliantly executed mafia romance that is unputdownable. I was hooked from cover to cover, and I still cannot let go. There’s edge of your seat suspense fueled by heart racing action, and the steam…OH LORD THE STEAM! Dante and Sarah burn up the pages with their chemistry and battle of wills. Highly recommend!
Dante and Sarah had an intense one night stand but they both want more but Sarah has secret that could ruin everything so she wants to leave. Dante won’t let her leave. Can they be together? Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing Book.
Since I am in a Mafia kick lately, a friend suggested I read this one. Trilina is new to me and this book was not a disappointment. Dante and Sarah damn hot . I was not disappointed reading this book. It had action, drama and steam. I was impressed, it was well written and entertaining.
I read romance novels. I read a lot of romance novels. I read a lot of romance novels because I like them. I like the characters, I like the tropes, and I like the sexytimez. And, see, i just don’t think it’s a romance novel if it just skips over the sexytimez. Personally? I don’t think it is. And after the 3rd time that the author played the old “fade to black” and picked up after the sexytimez? I had to quit in frustration. Now, this story is actually pretty good. That’s why I gave it 3 stars, but for those of you who are like me and need the juicy bits, you’d score this 2 stars. I’m so annoyed.
Amazing story, with wonderful characters!! HOT!!!
So hot. And so much possessive carnal need. Dante as a hard man not unlike his younger twin brothers. He runs the underworld and his depraved tastes require particular strengths in a partner. Someone who is strong and protective like he is to stand by his side as a queen but strong enough to relinquish control and kneel for him. The sex is hot and dirty. Along with the talk and control. Their banter and fire is steamy. Sarah and Dante were perfect for one another. Because they were willing to go to the ends of the Earth for one another. Loved the whole crew. Can’t wait for Their books.
Excellent book! I loved the juxtaposition of Dante and Declan. They held similar positions but Dante struggled with/tried to balance his humanity with the requirements of his title. Declan however was devoid of humanity. The love story was touch and go but neither character was easy. I found the character Dante Sovrano to be flawed (aware and working on some things) but refreshing. Completely endearing was Dante’s refusal to drink coffee because it made him aggressive.
Trilina Pucci never fails to surprise me, because each book that I have read, has been better than the last. Now this isn’t in an over the top, how can I outdo myself way. No, they are just that fabulous. Her characters and storylines are so vibrant that they jump off the page and engross you that you feel like you’re right there with them.
Dante Sovrano is synonymous with being Depraved. He is corrupt, wicked, perverted, and I loved every filthy second of it. He is delicious, commanding, naughty, and fiercely protective. Once you’re ‘in’ with the family, you are family and therefore, protected.
Dante has many responsibilities on his shoulders as the head of the Chicago mafia, but he relies heavily on his brothers for support. Dom and Luca, his brothers, own a sex club, Church, and Dante has had his eye on one of their workers, Sarah London. After reaching an agreement together, they spend one night and one night only together. Well, tell the crime boss alpha that after that one night, that is all he gets. Hotness, feistiness, and the best hate-love makeup scenes ever. (Initiate cold shower).
Sarah London. I am freely admitting I have a wee little girl crush on her. They are perfectly paired together as a couple and she is everything that Dante needs. He is tough, strong, and commanding. Well, she is feisty, independent, strong-willed, and fearless.
When Sarah’s past comes knocking and encroaching on destroying everything, she/they have together, the true beauty of this relationship shines through. The ultimate sacrifice to protect the other.
I LOVED Dom and Luca in their books, Truth and Worship, and thought that nothing could change that. Well, I was wrong. Dante, his brothers, their significant others, and Sarah have changed all that. Yes, this book is beyond hot. Yes, this book will show you what true depravity is. Most importantly though, is that Depraved will teach you about family, whether actual or non-traditional, and the lengths that one will go to when you are family.
Trilina has officially hooked me onto mafia romances.
DANTE WAS SUPERB!!!
I cannot get over this book, my blood was pumping the entire read that I devoured it in a sitting. The push and pull of Sarah and Dante was magnetic. The mystery of her character was so enticing, and then the whole mob business aspect made it exciting.
Everything about this book hooked me immediately. If was Sinful, sexy, violent and erotic. I loved Dante’s and Sarah’s relationship, she has balls of steel because she made her place known and refused to back down even to scary Dante. They were a perfect match.
The Sinful series gets better with each book, each time I finish one I’m desperate for the next. I cannot recommend this books more than I probably already have but please read it of your never read Trilina before she does not disappoint!

5/5 stars
I couldn’t out this story down .I didn’t think Dante & Sarah love story could get so intense. Sarah & Dante will stop at nothing to ensure the get to have there happy ending. I enjoy the family & loyalty aspect of the series. Dangerous men who love there women fiercely.
Some of my greatest pleasures in life start with D: dark romance, dangerous anti-heroes, dick and now Depraved. Despite my decent collection of signed paperbacks from this author, I hadn’t delved into reading her writing and the experience of finally committing was joyous in numerous indescribable ways. With an enthralling combination of dark mafia setting and taboo themes, my attention was charmed and ensnared from page one; rendered riveted as dangerous events unfolded.
“Dante has a presence; you can feel him in the room. Everyone can. He is a dangerous, powerful man, and that’s catnip for this pussy.”
As Chicago’s ruthless and dangerous leader, innumerous enemies lurk within the shadows for Dante Sovrano. Dominant and controlling, this anti-hero is used to having command over everything until Sarah, though her reticent attitude and own enemies doesn’t dissuade this man’s attentive interest. Dante’s attitude—the intense dominance and flowing confidence—makes him steadfast and determined to capture this woman, despite her secrets, creating an irresistible, near perfect anti-hero.
“A fighter until the end. Breaking her is going to be the highlight of my day.”
Sarah London, full of fire and strength, is an enigma obscured by unending secrets and clouded by mysteries. Defiant and feisty, there’s a darkness that follows her existence, shrouding it in neverending danger, but this darkness only amplifies her resolute nature. No matter her predicament, Sarah’s capacity to love and the lengths she’d go to ensure everyone’s safety couldn’t be deterred or ruined, a true testament to this heroine’s ability to be selfless and fearless.
“We’re depraved, Dante. I recognized your darkness because it’s mine as well.”
Chemistry that kindles and bursts with an intense ferocity doesn’t attempt to describe the connection between Dante and Sarah. It is explosive. Full of titillating dominance and potent submission, a sweet combination weaved together to deliver a suspense romance with passion that is undeniable as it simmers and crackles through the chapters. With a push and pull dynamic, the hint of vulnerability coursing through this relationship serves to create an atmosphere full of tension that leaves me riveted and wanting more from this series of dangerous sinners.
This book is HOT and I loved it! Dante is the bad super sexy alpha male that you fantasize about. I love Sarah and her take no shit sassy attitude. She is probably the only one who can get away with standing up to Dante. Their chemistry is off the charts! Trilina knows how to captivate you from the beginning to the end. If you like steamy, sexy mafia romances with twists and turns, you won’t be disappointed with Depraved.
The boss is the bomb! And Dante is the boss of everything. The deadly mafia family and his woman, Sarah. I thought Dom and Luca were something else but Dante takes it to another level as the familia boss and a sexy dominant alpha. He been around Sarah at the club, Church, and can’t take his eyes off her. She beautiful, strong and smoking hot. But Sarah’s overcoming a horrible past and trying stay clear of her family and Dante is just the one to keep her safe…and satisfied. The chemistry between these two is off the charts steamy! This is another fantastic installment in this series that’s everything you want in a mafia story with spectacular characters from the divine couple in Dante and Sarah to the brothers, Dom and Luca, and their women to the mafia brothers and even the villains are the kind you really love to hate. This author does it like no other with her marvelous writing that takes you deep into a dangerous world that will have you gasping and swooning in equal parts. So good! I hope there are more stories to come with all those sexy mafia hunks ruled by the magnificent Dante. Loved it! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
4.7 Stars
To say that I had been eagerly waiting for this book would be an understatement. Every teaser that I saw posted only fueled that desire to have it in my needy hands. I had it preordered and counted the days until it was downloaded on my kindle. I was never so frustrated as having to wait for real life to stop being chaos. I knew that I needed devoted time to read this without interruptions, vacation, and family getting in the way. I was right to wait because this book was fantastic.
I loved that the author played on the notion of power in this book. Not just power in regards to the positions in life but also the dynamic in a BDSM relationship. While Dante might appear to be the one in control it was actually Sarah that was in control. Dante was able to lower his “monster” for her which made their relationship that much better. The soft touches that he did such as helping her put on her shoes was not a sign of a soft man but rather one that instead showed that he knew how to take care of her needs. This is just one of many examples in the book that showed how phenomenal they were as a couple. The push and play, banter, and steamy times were hotter than a summer day in Death Valley. There were a couple of scenes that I swear had me blushing worse than a nun in a brothel. I will not look at a Cuban cigar the same way. NEVER.
There was just something extra special to Dante that made him titillating. It was no wonder that Sarah couldn’t say no to him. “He’s a dangerous, powerful man, and that’s catnip for this pussy.” Goddess knows that I would have offered him my panties in a heartbeat.
He made no qualms about his intentions and that he was not a good man. “I smile to myself because I don’t have a devil and an angel on my shoulders—I have two devils.” He was truly the Devil. Yet, that made him that much more appealing. He wouldn’t have it any other way because he was steadfast in only being Dante. He wouldn’t have anyone higher on that pedestal, not even God himself. Which in hindsight made the above-mentioned shoe scene that much more meaningful. It took Dante a while to actually vocalize his feelings, even though everyone knew how he felt. BUT, when he did… sweet Holy Mary, Joseph, Gabriel and baby Jesus he went all out, “You’ve never looked more beautiful,” I say reverently. “Because you choose to sit at my feet when you know that I would be the very ground you walked on if you asked.”
I did have a few issues with trying to keep track of time in this book and also how something played out prior to the epilogue. I wanted to know more of what happened during the time that Sarah made the decision that she did. I saw the aftermath but I hated that it wasn’t discussed. I was wanting more there. However, this didn’t change the story or alter my ability to enjoy it.
Every book in this series keeps getting better and is very individual to the characters it is about. I loved seeing the characters, both the past and future, as the story evolved. Dante didn’t surpass Luca in my favorite but he sure came close. Holy titfire, did he ever. I am hoping that Mateo is next because I am majorly crushing on him after this book.
I highly recommend this series of interconnected standalones.
Omg…This is a series that I have been hooked on since the first book and each one keeps getting better! This is very difficult to achieve with series and this author doesn’t seem to know how to fail.
Depraved is the third book in the Sinful series but can be read as a complete standalone. We finally get to find out all of Dante and Sarah’s secrets and not do they give us a story that will have you sucked in quick!!
I loved all the danger, intrigue, character development and the story moved along at a perfect pace…plus there are many scenes that will have you squirming and in need of a release….just sayin.
I honestly can’t think of one thing that I would want changed and I will definitely be coming back for anything this author releases!
This is a story packed with tension and intrigue. The main characters Dante and Sarah have a delicious chemistry between them. But Dante knows Sarah is keeping secrets and he is determined to find them out.
There’s twists and turns a plenty as the couple come head to head time and time again but feisty Sarah fights back fiercely every time. Lots of angst and “hot” making up between them. This book was an addictive read and it had me hooked with the action and intrigue right from the start.
Also loved all the secondary characters, hope to see them again some time.
A very enjoyable story. I highly recommend this book!
OMG #HOLYDANTE
And when I thought that Trilina can’t outdone herself after “Truth” and “Worship” she did it again. That book was everything I love in dark story. And now I think about how much I can tell you without spoiling anything in this amazing story that you definitely need to read.
Dante is a definitely aplha male type who is a tough guy but when it comes to his love towards Billy he didn’t hold back and loved her with everything his got. He even decided with his brothers in order to help and safe her to put whole family at risk to safe its newest member. And that above all things (OMG the sex scenes and his aplha behavior) made me swoon for him sooo much.
Sarah works in The Church and that’s from where he knows Dante and other guys cause The Church is their goto place. One day some wedding flirting, let to a steamy hot night (and I mean HOT AF night) on which they will rethink and they start to think that maybe they could be something more than one time thing especially that they both feel that spark and undeniably chemistry between them.
But is HEA possible when one of you is a well known mob boss and monster for everyone that croosed his path beside his friends and family and the other one from that duo is keeping secrets on her own, secrets that may danger all from Dante’s family. Or will they decide to take a loop of faith and risk all in order to get the bigger price and finally got the happy life they both deserved?
If you want to know you need to read this jewel and find out by yourself. Let me just tell you that in my opinion (and yes I gave five stars to earlier books in the series cause they were great) this is the best book from the series.
I kindly received an arc for an honest review.
/4.5
Dante & Sarah
Trilina has built Dante in our minds as The Alpha of all Alpha’s and she did not disappoint!
Sarah has finally found her peace in Chicago working for the King brothers and managing their exclusive club CHURCH. She has always flirted with Dante but deep down she knows she cannot become attached, she must keep everyone at arms length.
Dante has set his eyes on Sarah and everyone else is off limits. He’s not giving up on the chance to savor her. Even if it’s for one night! But is one night enough?
Their may be an opportunity for Sarah and Dante to have something real like the other members of the family, the problem is are Sarah secrets going to jeopardize what they can have? Will her secrets make them stronger or break them forever?
The chemistry between Sarah and Dante sizzles!
