I knew I was going to be sold by my father. A bride offered to forge an alliance or seal a deal. Even so, I still held onto the hope of living free of the families. But when I’m given to Antonio Tuscani, I realize my thin dreams of escaping this life were just that—dreams. Giving up, I accept my fate … Until a fierce-eyed boss, Nick DaVinci, shows up on my wedding day to exact lethal vengeance.I … vengeance.
I came for Tuscani blood, and I took it. The doe-eyed bride in her white dress and veil of innocence doesn’t bat an eyelash when I do what I was born to do. I’m the head of the most powerful mafia family in the city, and I didn’t get here by sparing enemies. But Sophia’s demeanor intrigues me, and soon I realize she is far more than a mafia princess. She is a queen, and I will stop at nothing to keep her by my side.
Mink’s Note: Curl up with your fave feline for this safe, sweet, steamy, a lil dark, and a lot dreamy HEA.

I’m kinda glad I read/listened to these in the order I did, because there wasn’t nearly enough Marco in this for me. This was a quick, steamy mafia story with Nick and Sophia. Sophia has two weddings in one day and there’s a lot of bloodshed. So yay for that.
Read Me Romance podcast. I really liked this one. I like when the guy celebrates his girl and helps her become a boss.
Sophia doesn’t want to be married but it is her duty as the daughter of a mafia man. She thinks her fiancee is vile if there was a way to get out of it she would. What she never planned was for her wedding to turn into a blood bath and being whisked away by Mafia boss Nick DaVinci.
Nick had never seen Sophia before but he knows she is it for him. He is going to marry her and make her his. However before he can enjoy his new wife he needs to take out the remaining threats to his newly found family.
Great read. I enjoyed every moment of this one. I had wondered what Sophia and Nick’s story was after reading Marco’s Girl and this was a perfect lead up to that story.
I loved this one! Nick steals the bride right under his enemy’s nose, Lol. I cannot get into too much detail, just suffice it to say, he saved Sophia from a fate worse than death. I loved all the killing! Should I say that? I mean it is a mafia story and some authors shy away from bloodshed, but not in this short and great read. Nick made sure those who harmed Sophia paid dearly. Loved it! Sophia and Nick get their HEA! 4.5 stars
I liked this book a lot. The story was original and entertaining. The characters were interesting and engaging. Carlotta was a super sweet grandma type but also pretty tough.

Nick was very impressive regardless of being a mobster he was still caring and sweet with Sophia. Sophia was sweet but also surprisingly tough when she needed to be. I liked that Marco was just as protective of Sophia as she was of him. It was amazing how much Nick and Sophia just fit together even from the beginning. I loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.
Mink is quickly climbing her way up to one of my favourite people! Her stories are steamy, and they just have a way of capturing you from that opening page.
Loveable characters who leave you begging for more, she delivers every time.
This latest book will see our leading lady getting married twice in one day, widowed once and falling in love in seconds. When Sophia’s father sells her off she has no clue as to what will unfold. She has to do what is expected, no questions asked.
When Nick arrives at the wedding to exact his revenge he had no intention of acquiring bride but one look at the innocent Sophia and he knows she is his one.
I loved this take on the mafia genre, it was different but it worked.
Grab your next read with Mink who will leave you wondering how did I not know about this gem.
There wasn’t a single moment I didn’t love this story. Nick and Sophia are a dynamic couple. He is a King and she is truly his Queen. I never wanted to stop reading this. Their journey together is memorable. The writing and flow of this book is perfect. I absolutely recommend this book.
His Virgin Queen is an insta love mob story. Packed with a Hunky Mob Boss and his Virgin Bride!
Sofia has a very unexpected wedding day. But it truly is the best day of her life, she meets a man who’s everything she could have hoped for.
Nick is the Head of the Davinci crime family. He takes no prisoners when exacting his revenge. What better way to do it the on their wedding day. One look at the Bride will forever change him.
I love Nick’s alpha male personality, combined with Sofia’s fire. They make a perfect couple.
This is a very quick, very hot, insta love Mob story. Total 5 star read!!!
Nick is so hot when he gets all protective of his Queen. I loved this novella.
I do believe another author introduced me to Mink’s books. I’m so glad they did.
I read an advanced copy of this book
This was a super hot thrilling story about Nick and Sophie. From the first page you get sucked in and you can’t stop reading until the very last page. This was instalove and so instahot. The sexy times were super hot and so deliciously naughty. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this wonderful, action packed, beautiful love story. Nick truly loved his Queen and made sure everyone knew it. Loved this story and I can’t wait to read more by MINK.
S Nothing like meeting your future husband as he kills your new husband at your wedding! And we are off on a strange but steamy and fun ride. Sophia and Nick are a great couple with a few bumps to their HEA. I really enjoy the way this author builds her characters and their stories. Can’t wait for more!
Sophia always knew she would eventually be married off. After all, living the life of a mafia princess isn’t a position that gives the women very many chances to make decisions in their lives. But Sophia isn’t just doing what her father and grandfather are forcing her to do just to keep peace, but to also hopefully protect her brother.
Nick DaVinci hasn’t become a feared man by letting people getting away with taking from him. When Antonio Tuscani steals from him, he’ll make him pay for his life, he doesn’t care if it just happens to be his wedding day. But taking Tuscani’s life isn’t all he takes from the man, he’ll also take her newly widowed wife and make her his queen.

Loved Sophia and Nick. She may have come across as a submissive woman, but with the right man she’ll show she has what it takes to be a queen.
Nick absolutely has so issues doing what needs to be done or promising Sophia whatever she needs to make sure she understands that he’ll never let her go. He’ll even go to war if necessary.
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book**
Sophia is willing to do so much to protect her brother Marco. I loved that Nick was so protective of Sophia so quickly. They have great chemistry and Nick definitely makes Sophia his queen. Once I started this book I didn’t want to put it down and can’t wait to read more books by this author.
I received an ARC and am leaving my honest and voluntary review.
Oh my what a wonderful story this is! It has everything to hook me and keep me turning the pages. A hint of darkness, a dirty talking alpha mafia man, an age difference to make me swoon, action, passion, heat and enough sexual tension that it melted my Kindle! I loved every page of this story. Nick is the ultimate mafia bad boy and I could not get enough of him. This author has an amazing voice and I have become addicted to these stories. Highly recommended!!
This is story is so hot, I melted my kindle and had to buy another one! WOW! Sophia is a mafia princess soon to be married to the head of another family to solidify an alliance. On the day of her marriage, a rival mafia don Nick, the King kills her husband and takes her for himself. This is where this whole passionate,action packed, dramatic, suspenseful story begins. The characters are raw, intense and you love them from the start. As they explore their passion, you will be taken into a world of danger, deceit. Fabulous story that I honestly volunteered to review the a
I think this is my favorite Mink book so far.
Italian world in America. Full of mafia. Full of smut and some angst.
Sofia is sold to A mob boss by her father and grandfather. She has no attraction to Antonio at all. She can’t stand him at all. But she must protect her brother and goes forth as her father and grandfather has ordered.
Nick is another Mafia boss. He attends the wedding because he has to as boss of his family. He kills Antonio and then takes Sofia with him
Neither understand the attraction to each other except for the fact that his soul clicks into place and he believes she is his queen.
Will they be a power couple? Will she fall in love?
