ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 14, 2024

Arranged-marriage, age-gap, Mafia/cartel romance, forbidden

Due to my birth order as child of the capo of the Luciano famiglia, I’m used to second place.
Second son.
Second in standing.
Never number one.
It’s the way my life has always been.
Only in the dark alleys, private clubs, and seedy establishments am I respected. Not just as the consigliere to my brother, the new capo of the Kansas City Famiglia, but also for my unmatched skills with a knife and my particular skills of interrogation. This status is as high as I will achieve. First place will forever be out of reach.

Camila Ruiz is the youngest daughter of Andres Ruiz, a top lieutenant in the Roríguez cartel. From the first moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I wanted her. She is too young and fragile to be with a man like me, a killer and criminal. I don’t deserve a woman like Camila. Taking her would be to ruin her.

With the newly established alliance between the Luciano famiglia and Roríguez cartel, I ask for the impossible and promise my life. With the blessing of my capo and the Roríguez drug lord, Camila is to be mine.

For once, I will be first in another’s eyes. And Camila will always be first to me.

What happens when the fragile alliance is tested?
Can I keep my promise to my wife and my oath to the famiglia?

REVIEW: BOUND BY A PROMISE is the third instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult BRUTAL VOWS erotic,Mafia romance series. This is thirty-three year old, consigliere to the head of the Kansas City Famiglia Dante Luciano, and twenty-year old, cartel princess Camila Ruiz story line. BOUND BY A PROMISE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Some of the events of BOUND BY A PROMISE run parallel to, and cross over with books one and two.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Camila and Dante) BOUND BY A PROMISE follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Dante and Camila met approximately one year earlier at the marriage of their siblings Catalina and Dario. Fast forward to present day, an attack against the Ruiz compound finds Camila, along with her mother safely ensconced at the Luciano home where Camila and Dante would act upon their mutual attraction but Camila will quickly discover that her parents have plans for her future, plans that do not include our story line hero. A quick wedding ceremony, and an attack by an unknown enemy finds Camila wondering if she brought a war to the Luciano’s door. As the two families come together to ferret out the truth, Camila finds herself falling for the man who has stolen her heart.

The world building focuses on a possible war between the Mafia, warring cartels, and the Russian Bratva. A fight for power brings danger to the Luciano/Ruiz families, families that are now connected by uniting three powerful couples.

The relationship between Dante and Camila is one of the forbidden. Everyone believes Camila is too young for our story line hero, yet Camila knows Dante is the man who has stolen her heart. Dante is an impassioned lover, a man who is desperate to protect the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of charismatic and energetic secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we met in the previous story lines as both Camila and Dante’s siblings have married one another.We are reintroduced to Camila’s parents Andres and Valentina Ruiz, as well as several members of the Ruiz/ Roriquez cartels.

BOUND BY A PROMISE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, influence and potential, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is thought provoking, and character driven but not as dark or raw as some other Mafia stories.; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are determined, spirited and moving.

REVIEW: TILL DEATH DO US PART is the second instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult BRUTAL VOWS erotic, Mafia romance series. This is twenty-nine year old, widowed, Mafia princess Mia Luciano , and Mexican Cartel Heir Alejandro Roriguez’ story line. TILL DEATH DO US PART can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of TILL DEATH DO US PART cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of book one NOW AND FOREVER.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Mia and Alejandro) TILL DEATH DO US PART follows five months after the death of Mia Luciano’s husband, a brutal man whose disrespect for our heroine has been hidden behind closed doors. In an effort to merge a stronger alliance between the Mafia and the Mexican Cartel, Mia’s brother Dario, Capo to the Luciano Famiglia, forceses our heroine into another arranged marriage with the heir to the Mexican Cartel Alejandro Roriguez. Mia believes Alejandro is an abusive Cartel member, and stubbornly accepts the inevitable in the wake of her brother’s orders and commands but Alejandro is not the man Mia believes him to be, becoming her guardian and protector when someone takes aim at our story line heroine.

The world building follows Alejandro as he struggle to uncover the threats against the woman with whom he is falling in love. Alejandro’s father easily accepts our story line heroine but not everyone member of the Cartel is a Mafia princess into the fold.The Cartel has already married off one of their own to the Mafia, and Alejandro is the next to cross the line between from foe to friend.

The relationship between Mia and Alejandro is an arranged marriage. Mia has already suffered at the hands of her former husband,and struggles with the possibility of jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Alejandro is a man determined to protect the woman entrusted with his care, and in this, Mia is surprised that her life is nothing like she had expected. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate .

There is a large ensemble cast of coloful and powerful secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Mexican Carter, Italian Mafia and Russian Bratva including Mia’s brothers Dante, Dario and his wife Catalina, Catalina’s sister Camila, brother Em, and their father Andres Ruiz. We are introduced to Alejandro’s brother Ria, and their parents Josefina and Jorge Roriquez, housekeeper Viviana, and bodyguard Silas. The requisite evil has many faces.

TILL DEATH DO US PART is another story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, death and destruction, acceptance and love. The premise is tense and thrilling but not as dark as some other Mafia story lines and series; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined, dynamic and animated.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 13, 2024

Arranged marriage, age-gap, mafia/cartel romance

Capo to the Luciano Famiglia was my birthright.

The cruelty needed to succeed in this life has been beaten into me since I was a young boy. My father, Vincent Luciano, taught by example and with the slap of his hand. My independent streak took me down paths my father would never have gone. With our enemies gaining strength, it is my idea to attempt an alliance with an unlikely bedfellow.

The Roríguez Cartel and the Luciano Famiglia are improbable partners, yet even Vincent Luciano can’t deny the possible benefits. The only way to solidify the deal is for me to marry Catalina Ruiz, the eldest daughter of Andres Ruiz, a top lieutenant in the Roríguez Cartel.

Catalina is young, beautiful, and thinks she understands the path she is being forced to follow. There is no way for her to know the monster she is about to wed. A man doesn’t become a made man at thirteen if he is capable of love. That emotion is beyond my scope of expertise. Saving the famiglia is my goal. And once this alliance is made, ours will be but the first of the brutal vows exchanged.

•••••

REVIEW:NOW AND FOREVER is the first instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult BRUTAL VOWS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is soon to be capo of the Luciano Famiglia, thirty-five year old Dario Famiglia, and twenty-four year old, Cartel princess Catalina Ruiz’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Dario and Catalina) NOW AND FOREVER follows in the aftermath of the arranged marriage between our story line couple. In an effort to secure position, and shore up powers, Andres Ruiz, head of the Mexican Cartel, offered up his daughter to the Italian Mafia, wherein, she would marry soon to be capo Dario Luciano. All was not well with the Luciano Famiglia, of Kansas City, a power struggle for the seat at the top, was about to rain down, targeting our story line heroine, and all the women who came before. Dario Luciano has worked his way to the top of the food chain but a betrayal would threaten the peace, and the relationship with his young wife. What ensues is the building relationship between Dario and Catalina, and the potential fall-out as deception comes at a cost, and Dario must take action before more innocent lives are lost.

The world building reveals some of the back story and history between the members of the Luciano Famiglia: the fight for control, and the betrayal that forces Dario to destroy those who would destroy everyone else. Catalina’s never expected to be ‘sold’ to the highest bidder, and rumors about her intended threatened any sense of normality our heroine had hoped for the future.

The relationship between Dario and Catalina begins as an arranged marriage in which Catalina is a pawn used to bargain her father’s position of power.Raised to know her place in the Cartel society, Catalina was not surprised but expected never expected to find herself married to the Italian Mafia. Dario Luciano’s rise to the top meant choosing a suitable wife ; a woman who is completely aware of the lifestyle of a mobster; a woman whose duty is to stand by his side. From the outset, Dario warns he is a violent man but the women in his life never have to fear his temper or loss of control. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters including Catalina’s sister Camila, brother Em, and their father Andres Ruiz; Dario’s brother Dante, their sister Mia, and their father Vincent, as well as Dario’s brother in law Rocco Moretti, housekeeper Contessa, extended family members, friends, and security. The requisite evil has many faces.

NOW AND FOREVER is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and impassioned but not as dark as some other Mafia story lines. The characters are strong and committed; the romance is seductive.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 28, 2022

An Irish mobster with a brutal grudge.
An Italian mafia princess with a dark secret.
Two enemy empires joined in sacred marriage vows.
Let the hating games begin.

Reyna

If this arrogant Irish mobster my brother sold my niece to thinks I’m going to play nice over this arranged marriage BS, he should think again.
I don’t care if this match with the Mob will make my brother capo of the Five Families.
I don’t care how much money, territory, or power it will gain us.
I especially don’t care that the Irishman is the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.
I won’t allow my innocent niece to suffer the same way I did.
Even if I have to kill him.

Spider

I’m supposed to marry sweet, beautiful Lili. So why can’t I stop thinking about her swamp witch of an aunt?
Reyna who hates me. Reyna who challenges me. Reyna with the guts of a Viking, the body of a fertility goddess, and the attitude of a feral cat.
Nothing good can come of what I’m feeling for a woman who’s not the one in the wedding contract I signed.
A woman I want so much, I’ll have to burn the whole world down to get.
If she doesn’t kill me first.

REVIEW:BRUTAL VOWS is the fourth and final instalment in JT Geissinger’s contemporary, adult QUEENS AND MONSTERS erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Irish Mobster Homer ‘Spider’ Quinn, and thirty three year old Italian Mafia princess Reyna Caruso’s story line. BRUTAL VOWS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Reyna and Spider) BRUTAL VOWS follows in the wake of an arranged marriage between Irish Mobster Homer ‘Spider’ Quinn and Reyna Caruso’s eighteen year old niece Lili. Reyna’s brother is the head of the Caruso family, and has signed a contract with the Irish Mob that will see the marriage of his eighteen year old daughter Lili to Spider Quinn, a contract that is to unite two powerful families but Lili is about to tear the family apart, and Reyna, who has already survived a marriage to the mob, refuses to let her niece become another statistic. Offering herself up in place of her niece, Reyna finds herself falling for a man who could destroy her life. What ensues is the building relationship between Reyna and Spider, and the potential fall-out as betrayal from within forces Reyna to reconsider her future with Spider Quinn.

Spider Quinn doesn’t want to marry an eighteen year old child but a contract has been signed to unite two powerful families. Meeting Lili’s aunt Reyna stirs something deep within our story line her, something Spider hasn’t felt for a very long time. Reyna Caruso knows that to defy the family means to place herself in the direct line of fire but in order to protect Lili, Reyna offers up herself to a man that is currently starring in her fantasies and dreams.

The relationship between Reyna and Spider begins acrimoniously as Reyna struggles to accept Spider into her niece’s life. Spider’s attraction to Reyna is immediate, and his need for Reyna grows with every encounter. The barely veiled sexual attraction between Reyna and Spider is palpable; the $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word.

The colorful and charismatic secondary and supporting characters include Kage and Nat (Ruthless Creatures 1), Declan and Sloane (Carnal Urges 2), Malek and Riley (Savage Hearts 3), as well as Reyna’s brother Gianni, her niece Lili, and her over the top, Italian Nonna, and Spider’s right hand man Kieran Byrne.

BRUTAL VOWS is a story of family and relationships, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is captivating, entertaining and inviting; the romance is seductive and hot; the characters are broken, energetic, powerful but healing. BRUTAL VOWS is the final instalment in the Queens and Monster series but the final story is open ended, leaving room for something more

2
Spider
I get only a glimpse of the woman in the window before the curtains fall back into place and she disappears, but the image of her is seared onto my retinas.
Dark hair, red lips, olive skin.
A black, low-cut dress.
Acres of cleavage.
And eyes that glittered silver in the afternoon sun like the flash of coins at the bottom of a wishing well.
She can’t be Liliana, the lass I’m here to meet. I’ve seen pictures of her. She has a sweet, innocent face. A shy, lovely smile.
The woman in the window looks like she’d only smile if she were slitting your throat.
Mindful of the armed guards, I say in Gaelic to Kieran, “I thought the lass’s mother died?”
Standing beside me, he follows my gaze and looks up at the blank window.
“Aye. Why?”
“Who else lives here?”
He shrugs. “Dunno. From the size of the bloody place, probably a thousand people.”
She’s not a servant, that much I know. There wasn’t a hint of servitude in those flashing eyes.
She looked more like a warlord about to lead an army of soldiers into battle.
“This way,” says the guard nearest to me. He nods toward an arched opening in the brick wall that leads from the circular driveway into an interior courtyard.
Dismissing the thought of the mystery woman, I button my suit jacket and follow behind the guard as he leads Kieran and me away from the car. The other guard walks behind us. We’re led through the lushly landscaped courtyard to a set of enormous carved oak doors, flanked on either side by towering marble columns.
The main house looms over us, three sprawling stories of beige limestone with elaborate balustrades and scrolled iron balconies, topped by a line of Roman centurion statues gazing down at us from a ledge on the red-tiled roof.
Inside the main foyer, the décor becomes even more ostentatious.
Naked cherubs frolic with hairy satyrs and woodland nymphs in colorful frescoes on the walls. Instead of one drop-crystal chandelier overhead, there are three. The floor is black marble, the carved mahogany furniture is edged in gilt, and my eyes are starting to water from the kaleidoscope glare of stained-glass windows.
Under his breath, Kieran says, “Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Looks like Liberace hurled his lunch all over the bloody place.”
He’s right. It’s fucking awful.
I have to force myself not to turn around and walk out.
“Ah, Mr. Quinn!”
I turn to my right. A man approaches with his hands spread open in greeting.
He’s fit, of average height, and somewhere around forty. His dark hair is slicked back with pomade. Wearing a navy blue pinstripe suit I can tell is custom made, a powder blue tie with a diamond tie pin, a chunky diamond watch, and a gold pinky ring on each hand, he oozes wealth, privilege, and power.
His cologne reaches me before he does.
His smile is blinding.
I hate him on sight.
“Mr. Caruso, I presume.”
He grabs one of my hands in both of his and pumps it up and down like he’s a political candidate campaigning for my vote.
“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Welcome to my home.”
“Thank you. It’s a pleasure to meet you as well.”
He hasn’t stopped grinning or shaking my hand.
Ten more seconds of this shite, and I’ll break those Chiclet teeth of his.
“This is my associate, Mr. Byrne.” I extract my hand from Caruso’s death grip and gesture to Kieran, who inclines his head respectfully.
“Sir.”
“Mr. Byrne, welcome. And please, both of you, call me Gianni. I prefer if we’re all on a first name basis, don’t you?”
I’d rather blind myself with acid, you wanker.
Kieran politely offers his name. I offer nothing. There’s an awkward pause while Caruso waits, but he gets the hint and suggests we retire to his study to speak in private.
After what feels like a death march through miles of echoing corridors, we arrive at the study. It’s probably larger than the law library at Notre Dame. We sit across from Caruso in a pair of leather chairs so uncomfortable, they had to be designed by sadists.
I haven’t been here ten minutes, and I’m already regretting the fuck out of this.
Until she walks in the door.
Dark hair, red lips, olive skin.
A black, low-cut dress.
Acres of cleavage.
Not only cleavage, but long legs and an hourglass figure that would make any man stupid with lust.
If he wasn’t too busy being turned to stone by the ice in her eyes, that is. I’ve never seen an attractive serial killer, but I bet this is exactly what she’d look like.
