She disliked me when we were twelve. She loathed me at eighteen. Now I’m not the man she thinks I am. Now I’ll make her mine. Let them try to keep us apart. Let them test us. No one threatens what’s mine. I’m the man she will turn to. I’m the man she will want. I’m the man who will save her. I’m the man who will push her to her limits, then give her everything she desires.

REVIEW: MAFIA SINNER is the second instalment in Sabine Barclay’s contemporary, adult MANCINELLI BROTHERHOOD dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is twenty-eight year olds Carmine Mancinelli, and bakery owner Serafina Carosi’s story line. MAFIA SINNER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. The MANICINELLIBROTHERHOOD series is a spin/interconnected off from the author’s IVANKOV BROTHERHOOD series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including violence, BDSM and Daddy/baby girl dynamic (but no age play).

Told from dual first person perspectives (Serafina and Carmine) MAFIA SINNER follows the rebuilding relationship between twenty-eight year olds Carmine Mancinelli, and bakery owner Serafina Carosi. Ten years earlier Carmine Mancinelli humiliated Serafina ‘Fina’ Carosi on the night of their intended betrothal to join two powerful Mafia families but Serafina wanted nothing to do with Carmine, and returned to Sicily with her tail between her legs. Fast forward to present day, Serafina owns a bakery in New York City where she will come face to face with the man who broke her heart. Carmine Mancinelli wants a second chance with our story line heroine but someone behind the scenes is working against our story line couple. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Carmine and Fina, and the potential fall-out as our couple are targeted, and Serafina is caught in the cross fire of a potential war between the Mancinelli’s of New York, and the Carosi’s of Venice, Italy.

Serafina’s father is the don of the Mala Del Brenta of Venice, and the marriage of his daughter with Carmine Mancinelli, the nephew of the don of New York would solidify the power between New York and Italy but Carmine’s betrayal was about to start a war of a different king. A second chance relationship was about to stir up old feeling, and new feelings for potential rivals for Serafina’s hand in marriage. Carmine Mancinelli has always considered himself the black sheep of the family having endured years of mental, emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his extended family but Carmine needs to prove he is worthy of his position within the family, and making amends with Fina is first on his list.

The relationship between Fina and Carmine is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people destroyed by the betrayal of Carmine Mancinelli. Serafina and Carmine both participate in the BDSM world, and our heroine, although not a submissive, likes to be controlled in the bedroom, and calling Carmine daddy. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters including extended family, security, Mafia, Cartel and Bratva members threatening war.

MAFIA SINNER is another story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, family and relationships, friendships and love. The premise is captivating and entertaining ; the romance is provocative and seductive ; the characters are dynamic and charismatic.
