5 HOLY HOTNESS STARS!! Dante and Sarah are holy hotness in this story. This book kept me on the edge of my seat with drama, action, sexiness and action. I am really loving this series, Trilina Puccini knows how to pack a punch with her storytelling. You need this book in your life, so grab it now.
Trilina Pucci’s Depraved is all kinds of hot with steamy scenes that make you wish you had a fan (or your husband) nearby. It has become my favorite in the series. Truth (Dom & Drew) and Worship (Luca & Gretchen) begin the Sinful series and I recommend you read them though it’s not necessary to enjoy Depraved. But why miss out on the fun?
Greed. It comes in many shapes and forms. Most think of it as something bad but not when it comes to Dante Sovrano and Sarah London. Their greed is perfection. And is the catalyst for their intense attraction and relationship.
Dante Sovrano is pure alpha. Make no mistake about it. He’s also got a weakness for Sarah London. His contrasts were what made him so sexy to me. His dominant ways in and out of the bedroom? Wow!
Sarah London is one tough chick. She’s brash and independent. She has to be. And I like that about her but there we’re just a few times I had wished that she wasn’t. It would have been completely out of character and I know that.
With the mob as the background and suspense woven into their story, Depraved is what you need next on your reading list.
And how sexy is the Italian language? Swoon!
Dark and delicious, Trilina Pucci’s Depraved depraved hits all the things I love. Dante runs the city of Chicago along with being part owner of a sex club, Church. Dante is fascinated by Sarah, who helps to run the club, and knows there much more to her than meets the eye.
Dirty, sexy and downright sinful, Dante and Sarah are complete fire. Their banter, the sexual chemistry and the push and pull of their relationship grabbed my attention from beginning to end. The sinner has truly met his match in more ways than one. I truly LOVED everything about this book!
This is my first book by Trilina Pucci but most definitely not my last!!
Each and every book I read by T Pucci just keeps getting better and better! I knew Dante’s story was coming. I knew he would be powerful, sexy and intimidating. But what I didn’t know was exactly how dark, dangerous and delicious he would be!!! Oh my – he put the Steam in Steamy, and I was here for every second of it.
Dante Sovrano is a man no one wants to mess with – he is known for his cold and calculating behavior, and a temper that is shorter than a blown fuse. But when it comes to Sarah – this man turns to putty in her hands. He is captivated by her – drawn to her in a way he can’t even explain. From the first scene in which these two have a brief yet intimate connection, they were on fire. Their chemistry is one that stands out from the rest. Not only is Dante dominating, sexy and powerful, but Sarah matches his every move with her feisty, fearless and bold demeanor. Together they create The Best Lust-Hate-Love scenes and provocative dialogue in every single interaction.
These two characters kept me glued to their story. It is captivating, all-consuming, passionate, and has the added suspense that will leave you turning the pages faster than you thought possible. Grab your wine and get prepared for one of the sexiest couples you will ever read. Well done once again T Pucci!! I can’t wait for more of this fabulous series!!
Wow I am totally blown away by this gifted authors’ work! Dante is a sexy, intimidating, domineering, head of the Chicago mob, and will go to any lengths to protect his family. Sarah is a feisty and strong willed character who is on the run from an abusive past. One night with Sarah and Dante is determined to keep her under his protection no matter what, however, he does not get away with anything regarding Sarah, as she challenges him at every turn. This is a beautifully written masterpiece, which is unique, intriguing, thrilling, and with secrets, family, loyalty, and love. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and look forward to reading more from this author.
Depraved is book three in the Sinful series by Trilina Pucci. I think this book might be a little darker than the other two. Or, it’s just been a while since I have read the previous book and have forgotten. But take my word for it, Dante is part monster. But the other part of him, the part that wants to possess Sarah? Well, I’ll let you be the judge of that!
Dante Sovrano is the head of the Chicago Mob. Not only does he run the city, he feels the burden of protecting his family as well, the two brothers, Luca and Dominic, that he only recently learned of, and their families. Dante is a dominant, both outside the bedroom, and in. He is part owner along with his brothers of the sex club, Church.
Sarah London works at Church, helps to run the club. Sarah has secrets of her own, secrets she’s been running from for eight long years. Sarah doesn’t do relationships, she can’t. But she doesn’t deny herself an occasional one night stand. She knows Dante is attracted to her and wants to experience what he has to offer, for just one night. Because in the bedroom, Sarah is submissive. But outside the bedroom, no one will ever tell her what to do again. Sarah is her own woman and can take care of herself.
Neither Sarah nor Dante has been able to forget their night together. When Sarah’s past suddenly comes back to haunt her, she is forced, literally, to accept Dante’s help. It goes against everything she is to let Dante protect her but she soon learns it’s the only way. Meanwhile, these two push and pull at each other, fighting what is growing between them, until neither can deny what they want any longer.
Dante is every bit the mafia leader that you might imagine. Ending a man’s life if he feels it’s necessary, means nothing to him. His obsession with Sarah, his need to possess her, is completely new to him. But of one thing he is certain, she is his, and he will do anything to protect her, and keep her with him.
This is one of those books that once you start, you can’t put it down. You just have to keep going to see what happens next. There are so many twists and turns. You don’t really see it at first but Sarah is one tough, smart woman. She had never experienced love or family. But slowly, as her feelings for Dante develop, and she feels the warmth of being included in his family, she feels the desire to finally stop running, to face her demons. But by staying, she is also bringing her danger to these people’s door step that she has begun to care for. Can she stay and fight? Or will she have to once again run?
You can read this as a stand alone. But then you would miss all the awesomeness of Luca and Dominic’s stories in the first two books. I enjoyed this, as well as the first two books, so much. These brothers might think nothing of ending a man’s life, but they also love with their whole hearts. I can’t wait to see what this author does next.
Lust. Angst. Just Remarkable.
When I Think about books written by Trilina Pucci one word comes to my mind, Formidable. I personally have loved all of her books, especially the ones that belong to the ‘Sinful Series’, and of course, I always expect the best when starting one of her new books.
‘Depraved’ left me speechless, dumbfound and in awe. This is by far her best book yet and I am so deeply in love with the world she created I don’t ever wanna come out.
‘Depraved’ is book number 3 in the ‘Sinful Series’, it is inspired by the sin of Greed and its focal points are some of the best characters ever created, Dante and Sarah.
We’ve met both Dante and Sarah in the previous books, Dante being a long lost brother to Dom and Luca, and Sarah being the coordinator and supervisor of Church, a private club owned by the Sovrano Brothers.
We know Dante for being a stubborn and ruthless Alpha who’d do anything for family and would kill anything or anyone who steps in front of something he wants.
He’s described by those who don’t know him as evil, as a monster, something you should fear or run from, but in reality, he’s loyal, caring, passionate and willing to put his life on the life if it means the people he loves are safe.
Yeah he might be a bit, or a lot, domineering inside and outside of the bedroom but it takes one fiery blue-eyed girl with seemingly no fear to bring him to his knees.
Sarah is a feisty little thing, she’s smart and calculating, she has a smart mouth and balls bigger than the whole male population put together.
She has a particular taste in the bedroom and when this big bad wolf presents her with the juiciest of offers she can get, Sarah can’t help but agree with one condition. One night, that’s all.
It may start as one night but the attraction is sizzling, the angst is real and the more they push and push and push each other the more they can’t help the need to be closer.
Dante is not a saint, he’s far from it. He doesn’t believe he deserves anything good for the sins he committed in his life but Sarah is not easily faced by his past or present. She’s his equal, his other half and the only one who can look him in the eye and scream at him, all without fear.
She’s got secrets though, and they are catching up with her. She’s a badass and independent woman but the closer her past gets, the more she wants to flee and the harder it is to accept help, even if it is from Dante.
Their relationship isn’t easy, mistakes are made, things are said and truths are uncovered. But nothing matters when it comes to Dante and Sarah.
They are made for each other, they belong to each other and they belong to be at each other’s side.
When they are together it’s like they are burning bright and high, either for passion or hate, but can you really hate the someone that’s able to light up your whole body and mind with only one stare?
This story is full of love and passion, pain and secrets, kinks and desires.
It’s like an Angel and a Devil came together to create this masterpiece which is a match made both in heaven and in hell.
If I haven’t convinced you to read this remarkable book yet, well I am just sorry because you are the one missing out. ‘Depraved’ is the piece your soul didn’t know needed, Dante is going to be your new book boyfriend and Sarah is gonna be your next Woman Crush, both empowering you to no end until you become the best part of yourself.
Don’t miss out on this 5-star baby, run and go get it!
What a fabulous, intense story! With a kick ass heroine in Sarah and a bit of a demon in Dante, we have the ingredients for a hot and exciting read which lives up to its promise! With welcome visits with the rest of the crew, Depraved combines family with an edge of danger which I thoroughly enjoyed. This now makes a trio of books which can be returned to with great interconnecting standalones. Fabulous!!
#DanteBelongsToMari
Holy Hoteness!! There’s something so sexy about being owned by a badass alpha, and damnit I want to be owned by Dante!!
Trilina Pucci didn’t hold back with the dirty, gritty and sexy in this story.
Sarah and Dante have amazing chemistry. You feel their emotions off the pages, their reservations and turmoil.
You’re kept on the edge of your seat the whole time, their story is fast paced and action packed.
My Dante shows a deeper sense of himself and it was amazing to see him burn cities to the ground for his one and only. How can you not love him? Okay don’t. He’s mine.
Can’t wait to see who’s story is next and see my baby again!
OMG, Trilina! Dante is the BEST! I bow down to you for writing this amazing book.
Dante Sovrano is a man who knows what he wants and what he likes. But when Sarah the manager of the Club that Dante and his brothers own, finds herself in some trouble it Dante to the rescue. Sarah is a very independent woman who doesn’t like men telling her what to do, well except in the bedroom. Can Sarah and Dante fight the chemistry or will she submit to Dante?
Depraved has a slow burn that will have you begging for these two to finally have a bedroom scene. Trilina’s writing will always have you on the edge of your seat and make you want a cold shower after reading her books. I highly recommend this book but I will tell you – you need to start with Truth to understand these brothers better.
Now I’m off to a sex club to find my own Dark and Sexy DANTE!
This is the third book in The Sinful Series. This is a dark mafia romance. Dante Sovrano, head of the Chicago Mob, is ruthless, alpha, dominant, protective and possessive. Sarah is a submissive in the bedroom, but she is a strong and independent woman on the outside. They share a sizzling hot chemistry, and their story is intense, action packed, suspenseful, and filled with twists and turns. I love the brotherhood between Dominic, Luca and Dante. The story has a great Epilogue. I loved it! This is a standalone story in the Series. Now, I’m looking forward for more books written by this author. I received a free copy of this book and I have voluntarily left this review.
I am absolutely loving the Sinful series by Trilina Pucci and have devoured each book. In Depraved, we get Dante and Sarah’s story and it was hot, steamy and captivating. Dante is the head of the Chicago mob and is ruthless, dark and always in control. Sarah was strong but had secrets of her own. She works at Church, a club, and is where she knows Dante. She does not do relationships, but one night with Dante is more than okay, right? But can they deny their connection?
I absolutely loved Depraved by Trilina Pucci. It was darker than the previous books, but just as steamy and captivating. Full of surprises, I could not turn the pages fast enough. Dante and Sarah had intense chemistry with their push and pull relationship. I cannot recommend this book and series enough!

Happy reading!
*4.5 stars
This series has consumed my thoughts for almost the past year. I’ve raved about Truth, which is still currently my favorite in the series, then I died over Worship, I’ve still not gotten over Lucas. Then there’s this one, Dante kinda shocked me. I wasn’t expecting to love him as much as I did. These boys have made a home in my heart, and I never want them to leave.
“I felt it. Your power. Your possession. And I wanted to be collected.”
One of the things I love most about Trilina’s writing is her ability to take a story that, in all honesty, might have been done before. But with the way she does it, it makes it so much more, so fresh, and very very captivating. There isn’t this over abundance of overused words, you know the canned phrases I’m talking about. She’s got us eating from the palm of her hand with this series, and it’s so effortless.
“The cruelest thing I’ve ever done to myself was have a taste of a man that’s left me with cravings.”
Dante and Sarah we’re so perfect for each other. I don’t think I could of seen him with anyone who wasn’t as strong as she was. She’s his equal and the perfect Queen to stand by his side. Their connection was electric, and his need to protect her gave me all of the goosebumps. The only reason I marked this one down a little, otherwise it’s a complete knock out, was the one little thing I never like. Sorry. I can’t. Can’t even.
I really wished this was less “instalove” and had more of a “chase” to it. It’s was zero to next page for them. I wanted more angst there, more of struggle. I live for the struggle, the chase, the angst of it all. I love watching the “falling” part, and “instalove” takes that away. It strips me of my favorite part of reading romance books.
“We’re depraved, Dante. I recognized your darkness because it’s mine as well.”
Triling is a phenomenal writer, she writes with heart and a skill I haven’t seen for a while. I will never forget how floored I was when I read Truth. She took one of my favorite tropes and turned it into something so new, even though I’ve read it time and time again. I am in awe of her. I can’t wait for the rest of this series, and any other books from her.
He Would Always Come For Her
5 Stars for this mafia romance that’s sexy, suspenseful, action-packed and about an enviable love that’s so much more in every way. It was greater than unconditional love; it was complete and utter devotion.
Sarah’s a fighter. A survivor. She does not back down. She challenges Dante in every way. The intimidating mobster who fears nothing, has met his match with the gorgeous spitfire.
Dante is the head of his family. He’s all alpha and a man to fear if you fall on the wrong side. What’s important to his family, becomes important to him. He never expected one night with Sarah to leave him willing to protect her at all costs. And once you’re in the fold, you’re family.
He just wanted her to submit to him in every way, so that he could take away her pain. All she wanted was to protect him from her past even if it meant the ultimate sacrifice. Dante and Sarah were made for each other. She submits to one man and one man only.
This story will feed your kinky side. It’s totally HOT and all-consuming. This series continues to bring us characters we love and lust after. The author gives us a non-traditional story of family, love and loyalty, but no less poignant.
The Sinful series kept getting better with each installment. Depraved was a fast-paced, action packed and suspenseful mafia romance. The exciting and twisty plot was filled with lust, violence and depravity. My heart was pounding and I almost fell off the edge of the seat with all the drama and mayhem going on.
Dante was a true alphahole and he really needed a sassy fiery woman like Sarah, who can hold her own, to balance out this ruthless mobster boss. The chemistry and dynamic between Dante and Sarah were explosive and combustible. Their sex scenes were steamy and passionate. With so many BDSM books out there, it was rare to find genuine arousing d/s scenes. However, I was mesmerized by Dante and Sarah’s encounters which showed the author’s talent in character development and scene building.
Another favourite part of the story for me was the demonstration of the true meaning of family by the seven sinfully hot Italian men. Family did not limited to the people who are blood-related. It also encompassed the people who are truly important to you, who have your back unreservedly and who would willingly die for you while protecting you and your loved ones.
I absolutely enjoyed this awesome roller-coaster ride and would highly recommend this hot, wicked, and thrilling mafia romance.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
DREAMY’S REVIEW
Depraved by Trilina Pucci was everything I hoped for and more! In fact, it surpassed EVERY SINGLE expectation I had and blew my ever loving mind! Every time I read a booo by Pucci, it just continues to get better and better!
Dante Sovrano is unforgiving, filthy, hot as sin, possessive af, dark, delicious, and one of my favorite alphaholes!
“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.”
Sarah London is fiesty, sassy, strong, independent and is the one woman who is truly Dante’s match in every single way! She doesn’t back down and she takes care of her! She fiercely loves and protects those that she loves! She is one bad-ass heroine and I could not get enough of her!
The connection she shared with Dante was ON FIRE!
“We’re gasoline set to a fire. We’re a beautiful fucking disaster.”
I loved the way both her and Dante were consumed and captivated by one another! Their push and pull was unlike ANY other! It is passionate, it is hot, it is everything you want between two people with danger looming around them! The suspense in this book will keep you turning the pages and leave you breathless when you reach the last page!
In short, if you’re into a strong and sassy heroine with strong, possessive, dominant heroes… YOU NEED DEPRAVED IN YOUR LIFE!
Also, if you enjoyed Dominic in Truth, Luca in Worship, then you will LOVE and appreciate and be obsessed with Dante! He will not disappoint you!
Five dreamy stars:
DEPRAVED by Trilina Pucci is book three in the Sinful Series. This is the story of Dante and Sarah. Dante is mafia boss who takes care of his family and protects them at all cost. Sarah is a strong character who hasn’t had it easy at all. The spark between them takes them to a night of passion. Dante wants Sarah and feels very protective of her. Sarah and Dante end up going back and forth..a dance of sorts.
This is a dark romance read. I have enjoyed Ms. Pucci writing and I hope to read more books from her soon.
5 STARS
“We’re gasoline set to a fire. We’re a beautiful fucking disaster.”
Depravity has never been so gratifying! Trilina Pucci has accomplished an incredible task of captivating us with her amazing words and character building. Dante Sovrano and Sarah O’Malley are the perfect pair!
“We’re depraved, Dante. I recognized your darkness because it’s mine as well.”
They are both strong willed, but roles are different when they’re in the bedroom. Man oh man how hot they get when they get privacy!
“Punish me in our bedroom, but because you love me, you’ll never do that in our life.”
I guarantee once you read this book that you’ll love it too! There will be no need to repent! Depraved by Trilina Pucci is an EPIC read that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!
~ Thank you to the author for generously providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
THIS BOOK IS FREAKIN AMAZING!!!
I started that book late last night, and finished it tonight. I used every single free minute today, because it got me hooked. Even while shopping at IKEA, I sneaked in a few words
Sarah works at The Church, that’s how she knows Dante. Some flirting turns into something casual, because they are drawn to each other (and believe me, all the sparks which fly are ).
So what happens further along the way? Secrets get uncovered, things happen you don’t want to happen, and made me scream and groan in frustration!
This book really had me hooked, I love these brothers, how alpha they are, the side stories, the tight knit group, the bed scenes are scorching , and this is a MUST read ! I’d love to give more than 5 stars, because they don’t do this book justice. It deserves a lot more! And I want more! Please…
I kindly received an arc for an honest review!
This dirty, filthy, twisted and dark story lived up to the promises the title made. Trilina Pucci has broken the hotness scale in Dante and Sarah’s story. Two tortured, deviant and troubles souls created a dangerously beautiful love story. Trilina Pucci has unapologetically made this one of the most sinful story I have ever read.
We have already met Dante and Sarah briefly in the previous books in the series Truth and Worship. Both of them has intrigued me and I was so excited to read their story. And I was so amazed by it! Sarah is a complex character. She hides an abusive and traumatic past behind her sassy, fierce and fearless personality. Her secrets have secrets and she has been running from them from years till she found trustworthy and loyal friends in Chicago. But now the past has caught up and she has to run again. Except Dante, Capo of the most feared Mafia in Chicago has claimed her and vowed to protect her. So it begins. The complicated, intricate, seductive tale of love, loyalty, passion, devotion and revenge.
I can write a whole textbook on Dante. He is the bossiest of alpha assholes with a dirty mouth, dirtier mind and dirtiest hands from blood and crime. He is oh so deliciously protective, unabashedly dominating and extremely dangerous with definite dark edge. His chemistry with Sarah was incredibly sexy and soul deep. They connected physically at an animalistic primal level because they loved each other with equal intensity. They were ready to go to any length to protect each other. And that feeling was simply brilliant. The story line has lots of ups and downs so I could never let my guard down. The sizzling hot, electrically charged attraction with a bone deep understanding of each other’s demons was the beauty of this story.
Depraved by Trilina Pucci will be one angsty, heartbreaking and sensational read for you. It will be sultry and kinky. It will be intense and swoonworthy. The story with the unforgettable flawed characters wrapped my heart around it’s fingers from the beginning to the end.
