This was a good read. Christian is trying to get revenge on the guys who killed his father. He ends up meeting Tali but she has her own issues going on. They have some complications to deal with. However, everything works out in the end and they get their happy ending.
Vengeful is the third book in the ‘Severinov Bratva’ series and tells the story of Christian and Tali.
Absolutely loved this book. Adored Christian and Tali’s rollercoaster ride full of action and drama, twists and turns, betrayal and love with some pretty HOT sexy scenes. Again, once started, I couldn’t put it down and devoured the book in one day.
This novel is a standalone dark Russian Mafia romance and is a thoroughly compelling read. Can’t wait to read the final instalment in this series ‘Ravage’.

Vengeful is an enemies to lovers romance story along with being a mafia romance as well. Cristian and Tali’s relationship starts off with a bang and involves so many secrets to uncover. It was a nice quick read. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was how quick it went from enemies to I love you.
Kristen Luciani is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! The Severinov Bratva series has my full attention! I am falling in love with the Severinov family! This is the story of Tali and Cristian. Tali is the only girl in the Severinov family and the baby. However, she was not shielded from knowing what was going on in the “family” business. Tali is a sassy, fiesty woman who is also still dealing with the loss of her father. She has gone to Monaco to open the hotel her father weas working on prior to his death. Cristian is from one of the Italian mafia families who is in Monaco to find out who killed his father and his father’s business partner. He is out for revenge and tends to act first then think. But he also is funny, charming and very hot! When Cristian and Tali meet, it’s a love/hate kind of thing. Tali is going through so much and trying to hold everything together while also keeping her brother’s safe from her boyfriend Alain.
You have two broken people who are similar. They are just trying to survive and not get killed in the process. Lots of chemistry, passion, drama, deception, betrayal, suspense, blackmail, loyalty, secrets and families coming together. While you can read this as a standalone, why would you want to? You should read the books in order so you know what each character brings to the table and how they ended up in the situations they do. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series about Alek and Gianna (Cristian’s sister). I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I am still in the process of reading this series and cannot put it down! I totally love it! I will be heartbroken when it is over!
5 Cristian and Tali’s story
Well, as dark mafia type story’s go, this one is up there. I just thank my lucky stars no knuckles were crushed. That’s my, stomach turning can’t watch or read thing.
Cristian and Tali’s both are assassins/hit men/women in their respective families. Not that they know it about each other at first. No at first it’s a get off my beach kinda hate on her part for the hotel owner next door. For him, it’s all a big fun game to get under her skin until it’s not. And she’s gotten under his.
All the while with both their dads having been taken out in the recent past and both families having to survive and rebuild. His dad has always told him “everything is not always at it seems”. This story is proof of that. I believe this is book 3 of a 4 book series. I haven’t read the others so I will say it can be read as a stand alone. There is enough back story to let the reader know enough not to find themselves wondering “what the heck”
There is violence and sexual content so be advised. If that’s something that turns you off, why are you thinking about reading a “dark mafia romance”?

3 1/2 Stars
A Kill or be Killed Mafia drama romance as Cristian took over his father’s role as head of his family. Mystery and intrigue bombard this mafia power struggle in the midst of a budding romance between Cristian and Natalya.
Sharing a similar emotional backstory, both losing their fathers, both blaming themselves for not being there to save them.
Tons of hidden plots and subplots that keep this storyline hopping, with a feeling of impending doom at every corner.
I liked Cristian’s confidence and aura of authority in the midst of all the chaos that erupts around him. He was not invincible in this dark, violent, bloody, mafia drama and got quite battered in the process of ferreting out the enemy and betrayer.
Tali was a strong female role, but I was frustrated with her and Alain, along with the secrets she kept from her brothers.
This dark romance was filled with cat and mouse drama that went on and on. Kudos to the author for a satisfying albeit bloody and gritty ending that led to an HEA (finally) for Cristian and Tali.

I absolutley would recommend this series to anyone who likes mafia stories. Kristen Luciani is a phenomenal writer. She is very detailed so you can actually feel like you are part of the story. The details and emotions pull you in and have you losing track of time. This is a page turner that will have you enthralled. Tali and Cristian are the perfect match.
Yet another enjoyable read from Kristen.
This time it was Cristian and Tali’s story along with all the usual ingredients that make up
this authors stories. That’s not a critiscism – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Now looking forward to reading Ravage, the next book in the series.

I dove into this one, as I can not get enough of the perfection that is a Bratva read from this author.
The enemies to lovers has certainly been done before, but not as masterfully as in this series, in my honest opinion. So much to love: Drama, betrayal, hatred, love. And, it is soo streamy!
I strongly recommend reading this series in order to get the most from the story. But truthfully – you should start at Screwing the Mob, to truly get the best from this read.
You just can’t go wrong with this author!

Christian is on a revenge mission after his fathers death he heads to Monaco where he ends up meeting Tali, whose findings her self in a tough situation. After the lose of her father she’s vulnerable to Alain’s vicious needs. Can Christian help Tali and get revenge for his father? Well written book 3 in the series but can be read standalone. With suspense, action, desires and more!

A nonstop thrilling, suspenseful, and sinfully seductive ride to go on. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I enjoyed this raw and gritty story.
This story kept me on the edge of my seat. An Italian family, a Russian family and the people who want to take everything away from them. I enjoyed the characters and want to read more about these people.
So good and deliciously dark and sexy
Vengeful is Book 3 of the Severinov Bratva series by Kristen Luciani and it is another outstanding story with really interesting characters. As this series is about a Bratva (family) the relationships between the characters is intense and filled with lots of twists and turns. Additionally, there is a lot of interesting back and forth between Tali and Christian as they are rivals but at the same time they cannot seem to stay away from each other in the most delicious ways.
I really love reading this series and all of the various relationships that suck you in and keep you reading into the early hours of the next day until you are at the last page. Only then do you let out a little curse under your breath as you realize that you now have to wait until the next book in the series is available to continue on this interwoven tale of family in all its forms.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Holy smokes, talk about a page turner!! This book is exactly that!!
Cristian is searching for the person that murdered his father. He’s focused, until he meets Tali. That’s how this story sucked me in! Those two had some major chemistry going on!
This is definitely one of those stories that once you begin it, you don’t want to put it down until you’re done, glad I don’t require a lot of sleep!!
