Wanted (Men Of Mayhem, #1)

Serena us the daughter of a mafia boss and when her life is turned upside down who will she turn too? Durga thought he list everything when his father was killed but he found comfort in serena. Saving her life once from a sex trafficking ring can he save her again before it’s to late? Full of twist and turns and suspense.

This was such a great read and action packed from the beginning. Diego is the enforcer for the Marcone family and Serena is the princepessa and only child of the Vitales. Diego has been taking out the people responsible for his father’s murder. Serena is now a voice for women being trafficked. She wants to help stop it and has a new foundation. She is a very strong-willed and feisty woman who speaks her mind. In their quests, both have managed to catch the eye of a certain man and that man wants to put an end to all of them. We met the Marcones in Vengeful, the Severnov’s books. However, you don’t need to read those to understand these. Diego and Serena are cut from the same cloth. They are both in mafia families and they both have guilt a mile high. These two had such a strong and instant connection. They were fated to be together. This has suspense, lots of action, deceit, trust and twists and turns. Diego is willing to put his life on the line to keep Serena safe. This is another great start to a new family and I can’t wait for more. I love the story and the characters are fantastic. War has started again. Who will come out on top?

Although Mafia stories aren’t my favorite, somehow this author makes me want to read them! I get sucked right in every time!

Diego and Serena had so much chemistry! The danger that those two made it through had me sweating bullets! Great story, that I didn’t want to put down once I got into it.

This is the 1st in a new series from this talented author, and what a fantastic introduction this Serena and Diego’s story is. This is a well written flawless story which is a dark and intense read and filled with drama, secrets, danger, twists, suspense, and with witty banter and humour which all lead to a steamy and all-consuming page turner, which had me on tenterhooks throughout. I highly recommend for all readers and look forward to reading the 2nd book in this awesome series.

I love me a good mafia tale, and here we definitely have one. This is the first in the Marcone family series, starting with Diego. The Marcone’s are connected through marriage to the Severino family, the bad a** Russian mafia family. So we’re completely surrounded by the all the baddies. And they’re gonna need it. Because in avenging his fathers murder, Diego ends up getting himself (and his family) on the hit list of some even badder guys. But in between bullets flying and betrayals happening he meets his princess, Serena Vitale, also mafia royalty. They have a connection that can’t seem to be broken, no matter who tries. I’m so excited to read more of this series! I loved this first one, am totally in love with Diego , and loved how it started off with a bang!!

Serena is determined to make her own way, without the influence of her mafia boss father Franco. But being a Vitale, she knows there are dangers. The big night of her charity event proves how close the dangers truly lurk.
Diego sees her in person for the first time at her charity event. When she comes to him, he is taken – knowing they have a connection, but her father makes it clear that he should keep his distance. Diego’s brother taking over the family business after their father was killed, he can understand Vitale’s protectiveness since he and his brothers are the same.
After months of hiding, Diego and Serena’s paths cross once again. Little do they both know, it happened sooner than planned. As they grow closer, the danger escalates and when Serena is taken will Diego be able to save her?

Holy crap – Kristen will take you on a ride with this fantastically written mafia romance. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop until the end. It has all the nail biting suspense that I love, had me questioning who sold out to who, and the chemistry between Diego and Serena is off the charts! I loved how Kristen pulled me in and kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end – the cherry on the pie was the lead in to Ant’s story. I can’t wait to see where Kristen takes her Men of Mayhem series.

4.5 stars

I’m a huge fan of this author and of mafia romances so when I heard about this book I knew I was going to need to read it…..and I was so right. This book had a little bit of everything. It was dark & full of suspense but also had some lighthearted moments & a bit of humor. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Although I am normally not a Mafia romance reader, I am well acquainted with the work of Kristen Luciani. I decided to give Wanted a try. I was not disappointed just on the edge of my seat for the entire ride. Serena is a mafia princess however she has a heart for the every day woman after experiencing fear and pain at the hands of the scum of the earth. Diego and his brothers are putting the pieces together of their shattered family business after the death of their father a couple years ago. When they are at an event sponsored by Serena’s family and foundation, Diego falls under the spell of her laugh and her smile and her spirit. Sadly both families have their enemies and they have vowed to destroy both their families. It’s so difficult to live a life on the edge, constantly looking over your shoulder, trying to protect the ones you love. I loved this story even though the anxiety level is high through the entire book. Be prepared for a marathon read.

I love Kristen’s work and was a firm fan of the Sevirov series and that is where we first met the Marcone family when both Tali and Christian then Gianni and Alek fell in love and now we get their stories starting with Diego

This book is a dark roller coaster of emotions. We get action, suspense, mystery, and of course some hot chemistry between the two main characters. Serena is smart, classy, and a little bit like a lost cub in the woods. She is determined to make it on her own, and to stand on her own two feet. She has been through something horrific that her family has kept under wraps. Diego has demons of his own. He carries the guilt of past actions, and is just as determined to right his wrongs. When he meets Serena the instant connection they both feel can not be denied. With constant outside forces determined to not only tear them apart, but possibly kill them they need to stay ever vigilant. Follow along on their journey to see if they can overcome the malicious forces out to destroy them.
