Just like me, he was broken too. He was my pretty, broken doll.
this story delved into a much darker and desperate part of life, a life that the Valentis never dreamed of facing. Antonio, as the eldest, has taken over leadership of the family, but like his siblings, he’s fighting his own demons. As a dominant, he strives for control, possession, and the wonder of a unique relationship with a submissive. However, one such relationship gone wrong continues to haunt him. It was the one time he lost control and he’s afraid of ever being put in that position again. And then Jane Doe comes along. She was the embodiment of everything he could ever want, yet shouldn’t have.
It was in this moment that I realized everything had to happen exactly the way it did for us to end up here within this perfect space in time. If I hadn’t been this broken and ruined, if he hadn’t been so tormented and troubled, we never would have experienced what we just had… together. It was my pain. It was his regret. It was our salvation.
Found in a cage, naked and docile, she was obviously a sex slave. And her master wants her back. But Antonio isn’t willing to ever let her go. He wants to own her while showing her the pleasures she’s never known. Their journey together was painful and provocative. The author did an amazing job with them and I can’t wait to see what happens to the elusive Master V.
The great storyline and the strongly written characters kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book! I was so engrossed in this story that I read this book in one sitting!
Oh my, I actually have a book hangover! It really took me awhile to write this review because my thoughts are all over the place. Antonio and Alessia story is deep, dark, and dangerous filled with secrets, revenge and heart gripping suspense.

Alessia had been abused and broken when she meets Antonio leaving her thinking he’s her new master. She feels his darkest sexual secrets as he is trying to be a better person. Alessia arrived into his life with secrets of her own yet he’s willing to nurse her back to health. As the story progresses, Alessia previous owner decided he wanted her back but Antonio is on a mission to solve the puzzle of why she was sent to him. The investigation leads to many more interchangeable secrets and betrayal that Antonio was protective enough to fight their enemies to free Alessia.
This is a well written story that’s awesome and a must read. The ending leaves you transcended and shocked. I’m definitely looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

The girl – Doe – takes him on a dangerous ride he could never have imagined. GET THIS BOOK TODAY!!!
If you like dark and twisted romance with an eventual HEA, this book has it all. The story has quite an emotional packed drama. The heroine, Doe, story was heartbreaking. Her hero, Antonio, a semi-romance hero with a lot of emotional issues as well. This story is in a series, and ends with Mafia Queen. I don’t normally read series, but after I read Mafia King, I had to get the sequel to it, Mafia Queen.
Waking up they tell her not to be afraid, but these people aren’t part of her world, but she didn’t want to answer their questions for fear of punishment. She feels him, the sound of power and authority, he wants her name, so she gives him Nessuno – Italian for nobody.
Antonio knew that she could tell he was there, he felt something and knew she did to, they saw a scared, women, he saw total submission and not because she wanted to, she had to.
Antonio knows, that she answered him because she is a slave, with no other choice the need answers and don’t have time he lets the side he kept hidden take over and stakes him claim, she was his. Antonio sets rules for her and lets her know she will trust him and gives her a new name, Doe.
Antonio knows no matter what the cost, he’s not giving her back to Vadik Volkof, something about Doe is drawing him in, her innocence even though she’s lived in the darkness that he knows to well. Antonio stays away, the things he wants to do to her he wants to do to her he shouldn’t, knowing what she’s been through, before leaving for the meeting, he gives Doe a perfect moment, he knows won’t happen again, he’s too wrong for her.
Doe has known what the devil is like, she can feel Antonio’s darkness needing to devour her, but he was different, he gives her moments of light. Antonio tells her how he is possessive and a sadist, and how he ruined everything, she knows she has to get him away from his memories, so she will survive the whipping, can she pull Antonio from the darkness and be his light, give him the trust he wants from her and her name.
The ending gives you answers about Doe’s beginnings and how she got where was, but also leaves answers can’t wait to read Mafia Queen.
I have fallen in love with this series. I’m trying to be patient for the next one to come out. January 22 can NOT come quickly enough!
OMG this book did not end like that did it?? I can’t even…what in the actual whaaaat….my mind is going about thousand miles per hour right about now. This book was so terrible that it was AMAZING. My God I don’t even want to know how Bella J got the info to write this book. It was heartbreaking and ugly and yet underneath it all you could still see and find hope for this poor girl and her future that is about to change forever with Antonio’s help.
The next book – Mafia Queen is going straight to my no.1 spot at my TBR!

This is a story full of twists, turns and intrigue. You have no real idea where this is going next, which makes it a page turner as you sit on the edge of your seat waiting to find out! This is the 3rd book in the series and although you don’t have to read the other 2 books first, doing so obviously helps in knowing more about the characters in this book. It’s very well written and a wonderful story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Mafia King is a dark, gritty, emotional story and I absolutely loved it! Loved Antonio and how he battled his own demons yet still had to keep everything under control as head of the family. The connection between Antonio and Nessuno/Doe was intense. This story had me captivated me from start to finish and I can’t wait to read Mafia Queen next.
I received a copy and voluntarily left a review and all opinions are my own.
Bella J. has had me falling hard for this Mafia family since the beginning of their series, so to say I was ready to crawl into bed with Antonio Valenti and get to know the head of the family better, is an understatement. I couldn’t wait to dive between the covers of “Mafia King” and spend some time with this Italian hottie, who should be terrifying but I just felt drawn to by the air of danger that surrounds him.
Antonio is so much more than just the head of the family. He is a man who loves with his heart and soul and will move heaven and earth to protect his family and his woman. I couldn’t help but swoon every time he asserted his sexy dominance over his “pet” and let his dark side out to play. He kept my emotions in a tangle and adrenaline surging with every word and touch.
From the moment I met this broken and tragic heroine, she piqued my curiosity with all the mystery and sadness that surrounded her. Bella J made us work to get to know this mystifying character and see the vulnerable young woman who only has eyes and for her “master” Antonio at first sight. Her connection is immediate and explosive with Antonio from the start and I couldn’t wait to see them “play”.
Bella J delivers another tale in the Royal Mafia series that is surrounded my darkness and mystery that a reader can’t help but dive into. I highly recommend Mafia King for an intense romance with a powerful and fierce king that you will love. Bella J’s writing has always drawn me in but the darker she writes the more I am addicted. I am always left wanting more and more from this talented, amazing author!
