REVIEW:Tempted By The Devil by Michelle Heard is book one of the Kings of Mafia series.
This is a stand-alone book in this series.

Vittoria “Tori” Romano, 23, hasn’t had such a great life since her father passed away seven years ago.

Her father worked for the Cosa Nostra mafia, and when he passed her stepbrother Giorgio took over her father’s place.

The moment Giorgio took over for her father he changed. He became highly abusive and took all of his anger and aggression out on Tori.
Giorgio was waiting for her to turn twenty-five so he could take her inheritance from her one way or another. While Tori was hoping to find a way to take her inheritance and run.

Every Friday her and her stepbrother would eat lunch at Piccola Sicilia – owned by Angelo Rizzo. Angelo Rizzo is 34, and one of the heads of the Cosa Nostra mafia. Truly feared by all that knows him. While at the restaurant Tori excuses herself to use the restroom. When she steps out of the restroom she can see into the office across the hall and there she sees Angelo Rizzo kill a man. In sheer panic she tries to return to her table but one of Angelo’s men grab her. Dragged back into the office she comes face to face with Angelo. But while she braces for the beating she knows is coming, it never does. When Angelo tells her she can go but he wants to have a discussion with her stepbrother she is all but relieved. She is saved today, but now she is on Angelo’s radar.

Running into him over the next several weeks is very unnerving for her. And she can’t quite figure out how or why she is all of the sudden running into him. That is until one night her stepbrother tells her they are going to a party and Angelo’s house. But when they get there – there is no guests. Just them. And Tori’s worse nightmare becomes a reality. Her brother has sold her off to cover his gambling debt. She will now marry Angelo Rizzo. All she can do is face the nightmare head on and pray that she will survive being married to a mafia boss.

Will Angelo treat her the same as her stepbrother has all these years. Will she be able to escape, or will she be stuck in this marriage until she dies? What is Angelo’s obsession with her all of the sudden?

I love Tori’s character. You can definitely tell she is young and innocent when we first meet her. But she also knows the way of the world and how her world works. I thoroughly enjoyed watching her and Angelo get to know each other. Angelo slowly shows Tori how she should be treated and he takes every step to remove everything in her life that has ever hurt her. I truly enjoyed this book. I am so excited to start a new journey with the Mafia Kings. Yes this is a standalone but why would you do that to yourself! Can’t wait for the next install.
Highly recommend, this book has a trigger warning that should be heeded if you have issues of violence, forced marriage, physical and mental abuse and death.
