Via Mari sucks you into the story from the very 1st page. I couldn’t put this down till it said “the end”. The relationship with the main characters is heartwarming and hot as all get out! Katarina and Chase are 2 sides of the same coin. They complete each other beautifully. Giovanni and Serena are still finding their way but I can’t wait to see how that goes.
I really need the next book in this series ASAP!!!
This book is the beginning of a new series following Chase and Katarina’s lives from the Prestian novels. The readers get to introduced to Katarina’s father’s family. Specifically, her cousin Giovanni (Gio) and the siren that captures his attention, Serena. And oh boy, what a story!
Another impressive and exceptionally written book by this author, Rule is filled with suspense, intrigue and arousing, sensual scenes. It is definitely a must read!
This is one of my favorite authors. I know that I am in for a steamy, suspenseful story that I won’t be able to put down. This one is no different. This story is in POV of four characters which made the story engaging. In this story Katrinia and Chase goes up against family to take over her father’s dream. I loved seeing Katrinia showing us how strong she really is. There is steam, action and suspense that left me turning pages fast. This is a must read and I highly recommend reading the previous books by this author.
Another outstanding book by Via Mari. This just moved up to my favorite book by this author!! I absolutely love how she puts other characters from previous books in her new books. After you read her books you are so attached to the characters, they stay on your mind after you close the last page. And I loved hearing about these characters.
This is about the Larussio’s and the Prestian’s. The Larussio’s are Katarina’s family, she is married to Chase Prestian When her dad is left severly injured from a mob hit, Katarina has to take over his dream of the Vegas Casino.
Then we meet Giovanni Larussio and Serena. Wow these two are amazing characters. She was raised to fear the Larussio family. But when these two meet ,the Sparks are flying!!! I’m surprised the page didn’t melt, it was so hot!!!
This is just an amazing book. If you like heat, drama, suspense, action and some sexy as heck bad boys….not to mention billionaires. This book is for you!!!
The sexy scenes can melt the pages. You will not be able to put this book down! A definite must read!!

I loved this book! Via upped her game and hit this one out of the park! It’s an intense, suspenseful, intriguing story that hooked me from the first page until the last. The storyline is amazing and the writing is fantastic and I can’t wait for the next book!
The Larussio Legacy and their coming into the 21st century is complex, suspenseful, and dangerous. Serena and Gio, and Sheldon and Alexis will have some interesting stories. Katarina and Chase are coming into some excitement. I’m anxious for the next book in what will be an epic series.
We are into the next chapter of the Italian family starring Chase and Katarina. Katarina’s father is still recovering from the accident that almost took his wife’s and his life. Now, Katarina and her cousin Gio are in charge of his huge project. Gio is next in line to become the Don of his family in Italy. He has never met Katarina and wants to ensure she is not a fake. They have a huge business venture to oversee that could potentially make a ton more money for the family. When they meet, Katarina pulls no punches and does not kowtow to Gio or his great-great-uncle. They are impressed with her and they all decide to have a family meeting in Italy. On the flight over, Gio meets a stewardess, Serena who he wants at all costs! Everyone is being tailed, targeted, attacked and there is a leak! Chase, Gio, Katarina, and all the security teams will have to pull together to find out where and who the threats are coming from…will it be someone they know? Will it be the same people who killed two sets of parents and tried for a third? Will these be the same people terrorizing Serena and her family? Via Mari does it once again with this emboldened Mafia family’s stories. I received this book as an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

5 out of 5 stars
This is the first time reading anything written by this author and she has a new fan… Rule is the first installment of the Larussio Legacy and I simply loved it. The plot was awesome with a few twists and the characters are amazing I loved how they drew you in from the first page and I simply loved their quirkiness.
Katarina and Chase have a love that is unique their bedroom scenes are out of this world steamy. But not all things are rosy. Katarina wants to full-fill her father dream but first she must overcome her Italian family’s opposition. It will not be easy. They do not trust her, they have traditions, and they have rules!
Chase on the other hand is having trouble letting Katarina the freedom she needs to fight for her father’s legacy after everything he has learned about the Italian don and Katarina’s cousin, Giovanni?
Can these two over come Katarina’s Family and build her legacy or will her family destroy her dreams? Will the family learn to trust Katarina?
Even though this book is mainly about Katarina and Chase we get to see Serena and Giovanni and how they meet and what is instore for them in Rise which I can wait to star reading.
