From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes an all new family in her With Me In Seattle world! Hold onto your seat as we introduce you to Kristen’s new MAFIA FAMILY!As the eldest son of Seattle’s current mob boss, Carmine Martinelli’s life has never really been his own. But he doesn’t mind because his family means more to him than his life. Which is why he’s determined to make … to make those responsible for the death of his aunt and uncle pay—in inventive and gruesome ways. And what better way to do that than to infiltrate the Russian mafia from the inside? It’s a good thing the bratva’s princess is stunning and seemingly willing to do whatever he asks. This vengeance could be the perfect mix of business and pleasure.
Nadia Tarenkov has several things stacked against her: she’s a woman, and she’s not the eldest child in her family. But it doesn’t matter. She has her sights set on ruling the syndicate, and she always gets what she wants. When the heir to one of the States’ most powerful crime families comes knocking, Nadia sees it for the gift it is. He thinks he has her fooled, but she’s smarter, more cunning, and always two steps ahead. She’ll beat the gorgeous mobster at his own game, and secure her place in the fold.
What neither of them takes into consideration, however, is that they aren’t the only ones with deadly plans in motion. To survive, they’ll have to come clean and work together—and acknowledge that the growing love they’ve been pretending isn’t there, is very real.

Underboss was a magnificent read. This was a fast-paced, keep you on your toes, full of action and romance story. Nadia and Carmine were an intriguing couple and I couldn’t wait to see where their journey would go. They had chemistry for sure so of course things would get fun hehe. I love how Nadia was such a boss. Just because she was a woman doesn’t mean that she couldn’t go all out. I also love how Carmine complemented her perfectly with his alpha boss self. They were a hardcore powerhouse. The romance wasn’t the only plot. There is an underlying storyline and I can’t wait to see where it will lead. Kristen takes you on a ride with her storytelling. It is a thriller with so many twists and turns and seeing what will happen next was enthralling. Carmine’s brothers Shane and Rocco were fascinating as well. I am so happy that Kristen is releasing these books only a couple weeks apart-I am all in. So excited for Headhunter next! Underboss was awesome.
Wow… just wow! I am not normally one for mafia-type books, but if Kristen Proby writes it, I will certainly read it. And I now have found a new sub-genre to read!
Carmine and Nadia are from two different mafia families. They are thrown together to try to find out who tried to kill Carmine’s father, the head of Carmine’s mafia family. Their chemistry is off the charts- and as they move around the country (and world) putting together pieces, their chemistry continues to grow.
I absolutely loved Underboss!! Diving into a world of how the mafia works (albeit fictional, yes) was so much fun! I loved the mystery that surrounded Carmine and Nadia. I so look forward to the next book in this series, and am so thankful that we don’t have to wait too long!
I love a good mafia romance! What I love more is an incredible mafia romance written by the ever talented, Kristen Proby. Underboss is the quintessential enemies to lovers romance with a side of mafia. Carmine & Nadia are amazing together, even when they hate each other. There is danger, murder, mystery, and more. All of that is wrapped around an amazing love story that is reminiscent of Romeo & Juliet. And that epilogue…damn!! I need that story right now!
Carmine and Nadia make quite the duo in Underboss by Kristen Proby! While Nadia steals the show with her Femme Fatale straight forward personality, Carmine sweeps in and compliments her with his “fancy” taste in all things luxury.

When something happens that brings both families together, Nadia & Carmine have to decide if they can truly trust each other. What a journey they go on!

I voluntarily reviewed this book.
5 amazing stars for this one!
Wow, what a great start to a new series! I’m not big on Mafia books, but Kristen had me hook, line and sinker with this one, I could not put this down! I can’t wait to read the next one in the series!
We have two families, the Martinelli’s & the Tarenkov’s.
When Nadia was only thirteen, she met Carmine, and they shared her first kiss. Her dad warned her away from the Martinelli family, so she stayed away. Fast forward to today, and get ready for the ride that Kristen takes you on with these two families!
Don’t miss out on this one.
Underboss is the first book in the With Me in Seattle Mafia series by Kristen Proby. I have read almost all of the book in her With Me in Seattle series. It’s one of my faves so I was excited that she had some mafia to the mix.
Carmine and Nadia have known each other since they were teenagers. Nadia was warned to stay away from The Martinelli brothers the very day they met. Their families were not enemies but they were not friends either. So when Carmine shows up pool side while she was in Miami she intrigued. She was also hot and bothered. The man was sexy as sin so why not have a little fun with the off-limit mafia prince? One night turns into many until they are forced to work together. Family was number one so she needed to be in Lady Boss mode. She might have to take him out… Even if she doesn’t want to.
Damn…these two are fire!! You can feel their passion on the pages. These two are both the types to take charge in and out of the bedroom. I loved it! Their banter. Their heat. Their passion for the finer things. Their loyalty. They also made me laugh! The love of their families. I can’t wait for the next books.
Quotes:
“We should head to New York tomorrow,” I say as we ride down to the ground floor.
“It’s Friday, Nadia. Let’s go Monday.”
“Because the mafia takes weekends off?” I roll my eyes.
“You’re a vixen,” he mutters. “And it would take a saint to resist you.”
“I have it on good authority that you’re no saint.”
“What is it about the Martinelli brothers?” I voice the question this time, and we all giggle. “They’re too sexy for their own good.”
I devoured Underboss in one sitting it has everything in one book! Mafia, mystery, betrayal, off the charts chemistry!! Nadia & Carmine are off the charts hot & remind me of Brad & Angelina in Mr & Mrs Smith They quickly realize working together will help them figure out wth is going on faster. All the while they are falling in love with each other:)
I can’t wait for the rest of this series!!!
