Mafia Romances | Trope Breakdown and Recs

[@nataliemendoza2273]

I love the Camorra chronicles so much 💕 my favorite couple is Nino and Kiara

[@TheBookRefuge]

So good. I love them so much. Nino makes me cry some times.

[@akankhyamohanty6693]

My fav couple is remo and fina

[@liliththefallenone8972]

@@akankhyamohanty6693 Remo Finna is my favorite couple 😍😍

[@vashappenin....]

I can't get enough of Gianna and Matteo! 🥰

[@mylifeuinfiresme2438]

Ohh!! Even me i will never get over it

[@noemiubeda7048]

Yes they are the best

[@mionty]

Hi again. I would like to recommend Watt pad Mafia series called the Morelli Mafia series. The author is Vaya Vaistis and let me tell you these stories are very well written and the continuation of the series flows very well. This series is definitely a 100% steamy traditional mafia story and a great read. The first three books are complete and she is updating the remaining two.

[@youcan1502]

I liked Dante the most .He is a good man

[@verag1047]

Love your taste, I can proudly say I've read all of them😂 Cora Reilly's books are just addictive😍

[@NikkiBell10]

I just want to say thank you (and darn you) for all your recs. I started reading romance after binging Bridgerton on Netflix. I read some Julia Quinn and was interested in what else was out there. I found your channel and ended up reading a few books you recommend and read the Immortals After Dark series because of your video on it. When I decided to see what else was out there, I came across this video. The way you speak about these series really makes me want to read them. My wallet may not thank you, but I certainly do.

[@mfa354]

Loved Twist Me series and spin-offs.

[@Noleen1983]

Wow! I never thought I would like mafia romance but those stories seem amazing!

[@Books2131]

I have been so excited for this video!!!! Your recommendations are my all time favorites!!! 😍

[@departmentofpharmacy3701]

Me: Have to add these immediately to my TBR Also me: So many books still needs to be read 😭 Also my recs would be: Everything Cora Riley, Amo Jones & K Webster have 😌, The Mafia and His Angel the whole series by Lylah James, The War of Rose series by Lana Sky, Martinez Mafia Dynasty series by K.H. Kate, Sunshine & the Bullets by CoraLee June.

[@muskansaraf4774]

Oh my god i'm so excited to read the series now

[@TheBookRefuge]

DO IT!!! Its so good.

[@bizzygal7026]

I love your reviews! Thanks for all your hard work.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying the content!!

[@chickensoup1626]

I love ur dark romance videos sm!!!

[@TheBookRefuge]

Thank you! They are my passion!

[@AmandaSangbusch]

I’ve never read any mafia novel. Think i’m gonna give it a try

[@TheBookRefuge]

Enjoy! I hope you like them. I had such a great time. Another one that is easier is The Professional by Kresley Cole. Its super sexy, but it isn't super brutal. It actually has the nicest Bratva Boss I have ever seen... haha. He is a clockmaker.

[@charlotteeverett6404]

Oh my goodness, I just had to come and tell you how much enjoyed these books! I have to admit, I wasn't really interested about reading these kinds of books until I saw this video pop up a couple of weeks ago, but I thought I should give it a go. I'm so bloody hooked on these families now! Do you know any other series that are similar to them? Like you, I really loved Luca and Aria in the beginning, but I found the Cammora books allot more exciting. I really hope she does another book to show Adamo finding love. Thank you for such an in depth passionate review that has just opened up a whole new lot of books for me xx

[@TheBookRefuge]

Hello! I will tell you, I haven't really found anything quite like it yet, but I am looking, believe me.

[@crystalsbookishlife]

I'm back watching your blacklist because you're my fave. Really in the mood for mafia romances right now. 💕

[@TheBookRefuge]

Lols! Oh boy, always a good mood to be in!

[@danyyyyyyyy]

I really love this video Jenn. I'm so happy you loved Cora Reilley's books, they're amazing! I'll definitely have to read the Italian and the twist me trilogy now.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Thanks! I just had to gush about them. I loved them so much.

[@danyyyyyyyy]

@@TheBookRefuge Have you read Cora Reilly's book that came out two months ago called Sweet Temptation? If not then I think you should because it's part of her mafia world and is about characters that we've heard of in the previous books. You'd probably really enjoy it. It's definitely one of her best!

[@TheBookRefuge]

I have it downloaded already. I just needed a break after the main series.

[@danyyyyyyyy]

@@TheBookRefuge oh yeah I totally get that, I hope you'll like it. Thank you for your awesome videos they always manage to brighten my day.

[@Yknobler]

Ok so late to the party I guess - but making an entrance!! I binged ALL of them - Love the Camorra Chronicles for sure , my absolute favorite, I'd have to say a tie between Nino and Kiara and Remo and Seraphina. Yeah those two are going to be hard to beat. Savio and Gemma was ok, but I found that I was too angry with Savio by the end of the story, he should have groveled more IMHO. Thank you - binging ALL of your vids, so happy I found you. You are sooo relatable and you remind me so much of one of my sisters! Love and prayers sent your way and keep those recs coming!!! I support you here AND on Patreon. :)

[@Bookswithshae]

How am I just finding this video 😩 I'm disappointed in myself. ALL books in this video are top tier.

[@crystalsbookishlife]

Also your top and earrings are so pretty!!

[@joannemarkov]

I enjoyed the O'Malley series, though I was always left wanting more. Part of what I enjoyed in this series is that the badass women don't just go off into the sunset to make babies. I especially enjoyed the last in the series, and wish there were more follow-ups. Similarly, I think my favorite mafia romance to date is Torrid by Nikki Sloane, because there is a similar "pawn to queen" move for the heroine. I loved the Boston Underworld series, as well, but I was frustrated by the end when pretty much each book just ended with "and then they made babies." These women were badasses in their own right, and I wanted to see them kicking some serious butt.

[@katherinemerecki7106]

Loved the Italian so much The romance was fantastic

[@catelyngrace3870]

Twisted emotions isn't on audible😭😭😭😭

[@alishachaudhary910]

I recently started writing stories in mangatoon app and it's almost complete and I want to write other romance stories like mafia enemies to lover's, pregnancy 😊😊 I love to write enemies to lover's story

[@liliththefallenone8972]

Twisted Pride😍😍😍 I am obsessed with Remo Finna😍😍😍 You can check out Ruthless Empire by Rina Kent, it's so good, it's a dark romance but not mafia romance

[@TheBookRefuge]

I have them on my list for the near future. Hopefully soon.

[@katyareads221]

Try this series.....it is one of the best Organized Crime series I've ever read. The series is called "Her Russian Protector" by Rosie Rivera. Check it out.

[@TheBookRefuge]

I will add it to my list. Sounds interesting.

[@navyasharma8040]

I loveeeee your video's 💞

[@dejasmith8876]

I always loves your reviews

[@TheBookRefuge]

Thank you so much

[@RebekahM_]

I think out of all of them I didn’t like Remo and Finna’s book. I loved Dante and Val’s.

[@farahelshamy1278]

Just finished twisted emotions and OH EM GEEEEE. It was soooo heartwarming. Can you recommend books that have the same type of romance?

[@farahelshamy1278]

With the same type of sweetness in Nino.

[@TheBookRefuge]

I have never read anyone quite like Nino. Maybe check out The Bride Test, or the Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie. They have characters on the autism spectrum, but definitely not the same type of dark story.

[@anjalisawle3094]

I read camorra chronicles loved it. I too have a tie between nino-kiara Remo-sarafina.

[@meawpat610]

I read all TL Swan books I love it all

[@TheBookRefuge]

She is amazing

[@ashwinarun9649]

💕💕💕💕Can you culd you do a video on different mafia romance tropes like you did in the first five six minutes 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@TheBookRefuge]

If you check out my Dark Romance Playlist, I have 5 different Mafia Rec videos. :) It's one of my favorites.

[@MystearicaClaws]

Closest to mafia I have gotten is the Wereleopard series... I'm wondering if I would like the Mafia ones at all. I like dark and dominating but only to a point. I also have PTSD issues so it could be difficult for me too.

[@TheBookRefuge]

Yes, definetly stay away from the book Twisted Emotions. But... the sexual experiences in books 1-3 aren't actually violent. The thing about the women is they THINK the men will be aggressive and brutal but they don't actually behave that way. But I wouldn't want to assume.

[@alessiaperri9136]

Do you know the title of the book about Fina’s parents? I can’t find it!! Btw I love your videos girl🙌🏼😈💜

[@TheBookRefuge]

Is it Sweet Temptation?

[@itsme-no3gj]

They don't have but the story were mentioned in bound by the past dante pov

[@gam07d56]

I am between Matteo and Giana and Serafina and Remo

[@Preeti-u8o3r]

I've been a fan of Cora Reilly since she first published Bound by Duty and I fell in love with Val and Dante. Then the Camorra chronicles happened and woahhh Nino and Kiara wrecked me. I love these two sooo much (sigh)💕💕 I felt exactly the same when Nino and Remo killed that perverted uncle. It was so satisfying 😏 But Savio and Adamo's book was very disappointing for me. Even so… I am definitely waiting for Cora's new series and I'm gonna love it. Btw I found your channel just today and I really love your reviews. 💓 Will surely check out more. 🤗🤗

[@farahelshamy1278]

Can u please say which of these men are softies and which are tough with their wives?

[@TheBookRefuge]

umm... Romero in Bound by Temptation. Nino in Twisted Emotions, and Savio in Twisted Hearts. They are probably the sweetest.

[@ieatpaintchips72]

On your store, The Grand Sophie and My American Duchess only link to hardcover books. Should they be linked to kindle editions? Those ones are $10 instead of $44 and $22

[@TheBookRefuge]

So, you can actually choose whatever version you want to purchase and it will still count as an "influenced" sale for me. So please, just buy whatever version of the book you want. :) When you build the store, it doesn't tell you what version you are choosing to put in the store. But whatever you buy after clicking on my link will count as influenced by me. So whether you buy the hardback, an audio version, or an ebook, it doesn't matter. Thank you for asking!

[@ananyashah3409]

Can you suggest more books like camorra and bound in blood chronicles?

[@TheBookRefuge]

I have 3 Mafia videos total, they are in my Dark Romance playlist. I also have another rec video I'm working on soon!

[@elinerarm8097]

Hello, I'm looking for a novel. series about the mafia and the dark, the first: a novel about a girl who grew up with her sister at the orphanage. When she grows up, she tries to take revenge on her sister's killer by marrying her father who is a former boss of the mafia, To take revenge on her son because she believes he killed his sister Who will fall in love with her،but in the end the truth seems that her sister committed suicide and that nobody killed her.The second novel talks about boss mafia raise a child with his little daughter The son of his friend whose whole family is killed during his mafia massacre When he grows up, he becomes one of the mafia and loves the girl he grew up with It then appears that the girl's father is the same man who wiped out his family, and the latter kills his adoptive father, he and all the families, except his sister, After two years, the girl will return to avenge her father and family.

[@itsme-no3gj]

The first one i think i met it before but i don't remember the title if you know it please tell me

[@sylviec.rochon5311]

I recommend the Russo saga 6 books by Nicolina martin to be read in order very dark, hot and fierce women

[@TheBookRefuge]

Good to know! I found it on KU and added it to my TBR!

[@lyndrasangabriel8948]

Luca and Aria will be my favourite couple in blood mafia series. Their love story opens me more to what Cora Reilly can offer. Just a correction, Cara has relative from Famiglia in New York not Chicago Outfit. She is the cousin of Luca. Lastly, for recs please do read The Bloody Bride series (2 Books) by Bree Porter. The heroine is smart and manipulative bitch but she doesn't realise her power until book 2. She kick ass by using her brain and love it 😊

Already read all Cora R books. Audible versions are a must. I have been looking for more but no luck. Decided to see what these channels were about. What a fail, too much rambling about nothing.🙄

[@TheBookRefuge]

Sorry I wasn't to your liking. Please feel free to find someone else. 🥰🥰 Over 10,000 people seem to like my ramblings just fine.

[@shwetadua7353]

damn it stop with the spoiler .... just tell the preface not the synopsis of the book ... im no more interested in reading the book bcz the story is alrdy told over here :(

[@TheBookRefuge]

Then go to Amazon for a blurb. Sorry, not sorry, it's my channel and my viewers as a whole like more details to decide if they want to read the book. If you want a short synopsis, that's what goodreads is for.
