Naila and Tommy were made for each other, their connection was strong, the chemistry between them was steamy, they were good together, they completed each other. I enjoyed their journey.
This is an incredible mafia romance. Naila and Tommy are riveting characters that are very well written.. Together they have explosive chemistry and dynamics. The story is beautifully written that is captivating with the storytelling.
“Ero perso e ti ho trovato.” (I was lost and I found you.)
Tesoro was my introduction to Nicole Bank’s novels. I can tell you that it will not be my last time reading one of her books, in fact I may have a new obsession. This has it all, romance, hot and steamy romance, drama, excitement and turbulence, and an intriguing mystery too! I was always on the edge of me seat, either with the love interest storyline or the mafia family plot twists.
The dreamy, strong, and loveable Tommy captured my attention from the first moment we meet him. I felt for his character and saw in him the positives of growing up in a fiercely loving family. As much as the mob family has its negatives you can see that there is love to be had on a level that all families want to have. He honors that and still keeps to his honor as a person.
Naila is a powerful woman. I loved how she was a character that was strong and independent out the gate. She is well aware of what she wants and how to get it. These two play off of each other so well it is an igniting sense of passion you can feel lift off the pages as you read. I loved so much about this novel, but don’t want to say too much and give away anything. I can only hope the ending is a hint at more to come in some way!
Bonus!! There is an amazing playlist and some hot and steamy new lines to learn for future foreyes? Wink, wink! Happy reading!
This was a really enjoyable read. Personally, for me, it had a bit too much craziness and a lot of flipping between calm parts to exciting parts rather quickly. Due to this sometimes I didn’t know if I was coming or going. This being said the storyline was really enjoyable once I got a better grip of it. The characters were relatable and I loved getting to know the different personalities. I would be interested in seeing what else this author has written. This was my first book from this author and it is by no means the last. Would highly recommend.
This is the story between Tommy, who is expected to one day run the Delucia Mafia Family but is unsure of the role, and Nalia, an independent woman who owns several businesses. There is instant chemistry between them when they meet. This well written book has amazing characters and a suspenseful storyline with a cliffhanger.

Naila and Tommy had a slow burn relationship that was interlaced with heat and danger. Overall, this was not my favorite book but I am glad that I read it. It did end on a cliffhanger so I will definitely be reading #2 to see how things progress.

I have not read a bad book from this author yet and this book is no exception! The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had an awfully hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!
4 1/2 stars
Drama, danger, intrigue, and steam fill the pages of this book. The characters are many and they are led by two very interesting ones – a sassy, strong-willed female and a sexy, flirty, tortured male. The author brought reality to this book with the danger and violence. Include the handsome hero and his desire to keep her safe regardless of the impact on himself, you have a swoon-worthy romance. I’m hoping there is a book 2 because the author gave me two likable characters who I am hoping work things out. I need my HEA. I also want to see if Bear and Luca and Cam get their HEA. I felt like I was part of the story feeling her panic and pain near the end due to the very descriptive prose. The way the author wrote gave you a sense of what was happening but still left you wondering at the same time – maddeningly effective. I loved it.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is the beginning of the Tesoro series. Tommy would prefer to go in any direction other than the one he was born into. He wants to be successful outside of the family. Naila is a businesswoman who has plenty of attitude. These two really hit it off and fall hard. They are fixing to both be in a situation not of their making. Choices will be taken out of their hands and danger will follow them. This was a story that pulled me in and I could not put it down I am really looking forward to the rest of the series

If mafia romance is your cup of tea, then drink up! Nicole Banks weaves an intricate tale of sexy romance and traumatizing drama as Tommy and Naila quickly find themselves in the middle of total chaos and destruction. Whether or not they emerge from the fire together, or get burned out in the flames may just be the most important outcome of the war.
I always love to read a good mafia romance and I was not disappointed reading this one. This is a hot & steamy read but mix mystery and suspense in with it. I could not put it down and I hope there is a next one.
