Stockholm Syndrome the book/series

There is so much to say about this book! I am not an expert on Dom/Sub relationships. I know that the sub/dom relationship can exend outside of the bedroom, but this book doesn't understand safe words (pretty basic) nor does it care about consent. Putting that aside my another problem with this book is the author never pre-established Peter wanting to be in a sub/dom relationship. So after meeting his boss, and after the first time Peter is asked to obey,  Peter is then all about having someone dominate him. Without the pre-established desire for a sub/dom relationship I cannot suspend my disbelief. I have bought other titles from this author and I have liked them, but this series is too toxic for consumption. This book makes the relationship in the Twilight look warm and cuddly by comparison. I am worried for the people who rated this title well.

Exceptional

Lucian is a tough mafia leader who has a soft heart very carefully hidden inside. Peter is a shy young man who is sweet but has learned to hide from the dangers in life. From the first meeting the chemistry is explosive. Angel and Devil are the slightly younger brother and cousin who certainly brightens up Lucian's life.

On a personal note, I am NOT normally a fan of crime stories like this. Having said that, this didn't get too crazy for me. Death yes, mention of some crime, yes but not the sadistic stuff I can't handle.

I really enjoyed it. I will eagerly await the next in the series.

MM Mafia Done Right

Silvia Violet does MM Mafia the right way. Engaging from the start to finish with all the action action suspense mixed perfectly with feels and heat you have come to expect from her. Michael does another fab job of bringing each character to life. Bring on book 2.

A steamy opposites attract mafia romance!

Marchesi Family series and can be listened as a standalone.

This was a steamy and sexy opposites attract!
Lucien is rough on the outside but has a soft side he reserves for people closest to him.
Peter is timid and sweet and when he meets Lucien they clash in the best way possible.

The characters are real, raw and well fleshed out and the writing was engaging. The storyline was compelling and descriptive.

I absolutely loved listening to this, especially with Michael Dean's amazing narration and audio delivery.

HOT!!

Wow!! I’d been hearing how amazing this series was in audio, so I waited to pick it up until I could binge all 3 books of the Marchesi Family. Everyone was right. Holy hotness, the narration of this is off the charts HOT. Michael Dean immediately pulled me into this story. His voice for Lucien was so perfectly rough and growly and I loved it. He did such an amazing job telling Lucien and Peter’s story. Honestly there is nothing I didn’t love about this book. There is action, dominance, super smoking hot sexy times and a Mafia family you have to know about. I was immediately in love with both Peter and Lucien. Peter was such a sweet and gentle soul, you wanted someone who was going to protect to him and claim him as their own. In comes Lucien, an alpha male Mafia boss who wanted to dominate and claim Peter as his own. Their chemistry was AMAZING. I loved Lucien’s brand of dominance and Peter’s sweet submission. I’m so sucked into the Marchesi Family I can’t wait to listen to the rest.

Mmmmmmm YES!

Lucien is wickedly hot and needs to be in control. I’m not a huge fan of dark romance, but after the initial ‘how they met’ darkness - which isn’t overtly horrible - I actually liked the story a lot. It was interesting seeing the completely different sides of the D/s relationship. Thankfully, it wasn’t filled with torturous angst (ugh- I hate when authors turn MM romance into girly teen novels). This story was crafted smartly, with a Mafia boss who is as ‘mafia boss’ as one can be- no soft squishiness that changes him over time. And a sub companion who isn’t a whiny wimp, but who just ‘gets’ his partner and eventually accepts him just as he is, even with glacially slow softening of maybe one corner of an edge of his personality. The plot was developed well, solidly entertaining, and fully believable. Michael Dean, as always, gives a solid performance and no matter where you left off you know which character is talking! Great job.

Love a good Gangster love story.

Loved this story. So sexual and exciting. can't wait for the next book. "I am in control "

Great Start!

Great start to the series! Sexy, sassy and a little dark. Perfectly narrated. Highly recommend!

FABULOUS!

What a fabulous start to a series! I just got sucked in by the Marchesi Family from the first page! A friend told me I needed to listen to this series as Michael Dean just knocked it out of the park. She was completely right! Michael just elevated this story for me, bringing a perfectly growly voice to Lucien and a more innocent voice to Peter. He captured the mafia intrigue, drama and suspense perfectly and boy did he NAIL the steam between Lucien and Peter, wow it was done so well! On to Angelo's story next!
