ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 11, 2023

Once upon a time, there was a young man who thought he could save the world. Then I grew up. The end. Turns out the world is much darker than I realized.

And now I’m part of that darkness.

As one of the youngest dons in La Cosa Nostra, I have a lot to prove. Weakness is not an option. My father taught me to be fair, but to be ruthless—something I’m a pro at.

Until a chance meeting at an author event, of all places, and one night of anonymous, guilt-free bliss.

Weeks later, an unexpected betrayal drops her in my lap, and I own every inch of her for six months. She might hate me, but our chemistry is undeniable.

She’s driving me crazy, and the feelings she evokes are dangerous. They make her a liability. Especially when I have an unknown enemy who wants nothing more than to see me devastated—and dead.

Now I have to keep both of us safe or die trying.

I’ll find a way. Because I. Never. Lose.

REVIEW: BLOOD LUST: GABRIEL is the first instalment in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult LA FAMIGLILA DE LUCA erotic, Mafia romance series-a part of the multi-authored Mayhem Makers series. This is thirty year old, don Gabriel DeLuca, and twenty-four year old, book editor Alia Toscano’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gabriel and Alia) BLOOD LUST focuses on payment for a debt. Several weeks earlier, Gabriel DeLuca and his brothers reluctantly escorted their mother to a book author event but Gabriel never expected to be ghosted by Lee, his gorgeous and voracious one night stand. Fast forward to present day, Gabriel will discover one of his soldiers gambled a large amount of Mafia money, and payment would come in the form of the soldier’s daughter. Enter Alia Toscano, Gabriel DeLuca’s one night stand, and the woman with whom Gabriel will fall in love.Disgusted but desperate to protect her father, Alia has no choice but to agree to six months of ‘servitude’, six months in which Alia will fall for her powerful jailer. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Gabriel and Alia, and the potential fall-out when betrayal threatens the life of our story line hero.

The relationship between Gabriel and Alia begins as a one-night stand that eventually becomes payment for a debt.Alia’s father is a gambler; an addiction that is threatening his daughter’s life. Alia thought her father had successfully beat his addition but the perfect opportunity presented itself, an opportunity that may or may not have be arranged by someone else. Gabriel is one of the youngest dons, and as such he has taken control with a firm and controlling hand. When Alia’s father betrayed the DeLuca crime family, Gabriel took advantage, claiming Alia as his own. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate .

We are introduced to Gabriel’s brothers Lorenzo, Alessio, Vittorio, Leo and Pietro, as well as their parents; half brother Mario; consigliere Bruno Rinaldi, and Alia’s father Antonio Toscono. Kristine Allen also drops her own name, as well as several current authors at the Author’s convention.

BLOOD LUST is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is enthralling and entertaining; the romance is provocative and seductive; the characters are captivating and determined.
