Summary

The king of the mafia swore off love。 Then he met… her。

Emilia

It starts as an interview。
The mafia king needs brides for his brothers。
An arranged marriage to bind our families。

He sees the bruises I wear。
He wants to protect me。
He demands to be obeyed。

He steals me from my home。
I fight back。
But when he puts his hands on me…

I find my resistance is useless。
Each time I push him away, it’s with weaker hands。
He took my innocence, but I can’t let him take。。。

My heart。


Liam

She’s a tiny thing, so young and naïve。
Beautiful and brave but loyal to a fault。
She needs the firm hand of a strong man。

Just… not my own。
She was meant to marry one of my brothers。
I never wanted a ring on my own finger。

But now I want to put my hands on her。
Tear her innocence away from her。
Be the first and the only man to touch her。

I can’t get her out of my mind。
I’ve gone from wanting to punish her…
To wanting to make her mine。

Liam and Emilia are hot, sexy, fiesty, and butt heads at first。 But Liam soon takes charge and though he fights his attraction but Emilia worms her way under his skin and into his heart! But danger, family, loyalty and more will be tested till they reach their happy ending!!

Emilia was never going to be free that why she sneaked out to run, running was her only joy until she bumped into Liam Bachman。 Yes the Bachman's are back and I am dizzy as a beautiful war unfolds of feelings, emotions and honour as a naive girl navigates the Bachman way of life。 All hail the King and Queen。 I voluntarily reviewed this book。 Emilia was never going to be free that why she sneaked out to run, running was her only joy until she bumped into Liam Bachman。 Yes the Bachman's are back and I am dizzy as a beautiful war unfolds of feelings, emotions and honour as a naive girl navigates the Bachman way of life。 All hail the King and Queen。 I voluntarily reviewed this book。 。。。more

Well, in my opinion, 20 year old sequestered, naive virgins aren’t the most interesting people。 Older Liam was obviously attracted to her body and her beauty。 Both of which are not guaranteed to last。 She was feisty and that saved her character。 It was a good book, but not one I would re-read。

4。5“Vow to the King” is a dark mafia romance by Shanna Handel, and it’s a great addition to the Bachman universe of stories。 In this book, Liam Bachman has been granted the responsibility of establishing the Bachman family presence in a part of Italy that is entirely new to them。 As part of that effort, he intends to marry off his four single blood brothers (and several single Bachman brothers) in keeping with the mafia tradition of making strategically advantageous marriages。 These Bachmann Bro 4。5“Vow to the King” is a dark mafia romance by Shanna Handel, and it’s a great addition to the Bachman universe of stories。 In this book, Liam Bachman has been granted the responsibility of establishing the Bachman family presence in a part of Italy that is entirely new to them。 As part of that effort, he intends to marry off his four single blood brothers (and several single Bachman brothers) in keeping with the mafia tradition of making strategically advantageous marriages。 These Bachmann Brothers based at the Villa in Italy will be the focus of future books。Emelia Accardi has grown up as the only daughter in the mafia family ruled by her hard-nosed father。 She’s learned to stay out of the way of his violent reach and that of her equally vicious brothers。 Although she’s always known that they would marry her off someday in the interests of gaining money and connections for the Accardi family, when they decide the time has come, she can’t manage to be meek about it and simply accept whatever her fate is going to be。 Liam interviews her as a potential bride for one of his Bachman brothers, but then complications and more complications arise。 I don’t want to share too much about the plot because it’s a good one, filled with twists and turns and powerful, unexpected emotion。 Liam’s backstory is heartbreaking; you’ll just have to read the book if you want to find out why, because I’m not spoiling it for you! There is an age gap between Liam and Emelia, and some domestic discipline because that’s the way of the Bachman family。 Their connection is a steamy one, but the feelings quickly move beyond that。 If you’ve read other books in the Bachman World, you’ll find characters you recognize playing secondary roles in this story。 There are dark moments in the story, as befitting a dark mafia romance, but there are also lighthearted moments to balance it out。 I thought this story was well-crafted。 It pulled me in and kept me turning pages until I finished it in one sitting, just like with other engaging stories by this author。 。。。more

Shanna has done it again I love this series and how the men protect what’s theirs。 It’s a quick read where a king doesn’t realize he’s gonna fall for his queen。 Emilia is strong beautiful woman who needs to be disciplined and loved。 Liam doesn’t want love doesn’t believe in it after something happen from his past。 But what happens when things change?What happen when two people who sworn off marriageFind love and trust in each other。 I loved this book and can’t wait for the next one。

Another winner! I have loved the Bachmans and their Beauties since the first imaginative book。 Liam is a revelation in this world。 I didn’t expect his strong attitude and determination would have such an effect on my emotions。 She was simply delightful in her attitude and presence。 I loved this book and thought it fit wonderfully in this world - a true favorite of mine which I have read over and over again。 I can’t wait to read his brothers stories。 Great story。

I love dark books and mafia books, put them together and bam insta love for me。 The story and characters played scenes in my head till the very end。 The author wrote a great story。

Emilia and Liam's story is super hot! A little darker than the other Bachman books, this one will knock your socks off。 I really enjoyed the characters in this story and loved the emotional turmoil they both go through to get to the places they need to be for each other。 As always, we get to catch up with some of the other Bachman family members。 I'm looking forward to Liam's brothers getting their own books and Charlie too。 Emilia and Liam's story is super hot!

Darkest Bachman yetI like this bit of an odd couple。 The content a bit more mafia and dark than other Bachman offerings。 I don't love it black trauma dark so I can say it wasn't too intense and the darkest bit was predictable but unrealistic, at least I hope it's more unreal and unusual than common。 Anyway, a good addition, looking forward to book 2。 Darkest Bachman yetI like this bit of an odd couple。 The content a bit more mafia and dark than other Bachman offerings。 I don't love it black trauma dark so I can say it wasn't too intense and the darkest bit was predictable but unrealistic, at least I hope it's more unreal and unusual than common。 Anyway, a good addition, looking forward to book 2。 。。。more

This is the latest standalone entry in the Bachman world and comes with it's own HEA。 Since I generally commence a new book with a feeling of goodwill and I'm generally a fan of the works from this author I was surprised at the level of dislike that this book left me with。 I'm there to enjoy the result of what the author has worked over and I don't understand the readers who only ever seem to complain about what they read。 This book, however, left me very little to like。 While I sympathised with This is the latest standalone entry in the Bachman world and comes with it's own HEA。 Since I generally commence a new book with a feeling of goodwill and I'm generally a fan of the works from this author I was surprised at the level of dislike that this book left me with。 I'm there to enjoy the result of what the author has worked over and I don't understand the readers who only ever seem to complain about what they read。 This book, however, left me very little to like。 While I sympathised with Emilia, I never really liked her。 Likewise, Liam left me feeling actively antagonistic towards him。 Overall, I found Emilia to be a pawn in the games of the men, with no personal sovereignty, swapping a manipulative, abusive family for a controlling, manipulative man interested in owning her for his own pleasure。 This book also walked it's own line when it came to things like plausibility and timelines。 For instance, the beginning of the story is set mostly in Emilia's hometown in Italy, but there is nothing in this book that really places it there and all the characters throughout seem very American。 Also, without giving spoilers, there's interaction with Emilia's family bringing a change, but it's all very simplistic with no real depth to what's happened on a personal level。 I've read a number of books from this author and looking back through the list I've always rated towards the higher end, so hopefully this book is just a blip and I'll go back to enjoying her work again with the next book。 。。。more

THE BEAUTY WITH HER BEASTThe story is a great addition to the Bachman sagas。 This story takes place in Italy, where Liam Bachman has decided to find suitable wives for his brothers and cousins—but he has no plans to marry himself。 He needs to find alliances to strengthen the family—he has the men, but he needs mafia princesses。 Near his home is the Accardi clan with one unmarried female, Emilia。 “Next time, keep your runs at the gym, little girl。 There are wolves in these woods。”Liam: Has your f THE BEAUTY WITH HER BEASTThe story is a great addition to the Bachman sagas。 This story takes place in Italy, where Liam Bachman has decided to find suitable wives for his brothers and cousins—but he has no plans to marry himself。 He needs to find alliances to strengthen the family—he has the men, but he needs mafia princesses。 Near his home is the Accardi clan with one unmarried female, Emilia。 “Next time, keep your runs at the gym, little girl。 There are wolves in these woods。”Liam: Has your family made you aware of our offer?Emilia: I’ve been raised knowing that I would be married off for my family’s benefit。 I just didn’t realize it would be to this family。 A family where it’s okay to just accost a girl on the road。The story will have two people who have no intention of marriage, finding them being forced into a marriage arrangement。 The attraction and chemistry between them are noticeable to those around them。 Emilia believes if she ruins her chance for marriage, she can move on with her life, but that isn’t the mafia way。 Liam has only one choice, to make it right with her family and the man who she was promised—before this becomes a war。 “They could not marry。 And start a war。 Putting every single one of us in danger。” –Sasha“But I can’t start a war, especially not now that I see the faces of those who would be fighting for me。 What have I done?”Once Rockland and Tess arrive at the Parish, the decision is made, Liam and Emilia will marry, retribution will be issued, and in the Bachman way of life, marriage is forever。 Liam and Emilia’s fate has been sealed。 The story has plenty of angst and passion。 The chemistry between pours off the pages。 It is always fun to see how the Bachmans handle whatever comes their way。 It was fun seeing the private Bachman ceremony。 While the story is part of an ongoing saga, it will read well as a stand-alone。 There is power exchange with discipline, explicit scenes, and unseen but revealed violence (not to our main characters。) 。。。more

I liked the Bachman series and this has all the elements to be a great spin-off to it。 All the characters are well done。 Emilia has had a few hard knocks in her short life。 She wants a different future but life is not about wants it is about needs。 Liam knows this but needs to move on。 I liked both of them and their chemistry。 There are plenty of different elements in this well written story, some dark。 I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I highly recommend it。 This is a I liked the Bachman series and this has all the elements to be a great spin-off to it。 All the characters are well done。 Emilia has had a few hard knocks in her short life。 She wants a different future but life is not about wants it is about needs。 Liam knows this but needs to move on。 I liked both of them and their chemistry。 There are plenty of different elements in this well written story, some dark。 I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I highly recommend it。 This is a hot, sexy and enjoyable book。 。。。more

Vow to the King is a new dark Bachman Mafia romance that looks like it sets off a new spin off series! Emilia has grown up as a princess in her mafia family, but has always dreamed of a different life。 When Liam finds her, he thinks she’d be the perfect candidate as a wife for his brothers, but he can’t get her off of his mind。 They quickly learn that actions have consequences in their world, and what feels like an escape could lead to a trap。 Can they find trust and love from their situation?

Wow, okay, this book was just great! I felt like I was taken into this whirlwind of emotion, from passion to rejection, from fear to acceptance, and from heartache to love。 This book was perhaps a little darker than some of the previous Bachman books, but I loved seeing some of the same elements that you would find in Ms。 Handel’s other books。 I really loved Emilia and Liam, loved their struggles and the ways they found peace and comfort in the other。 Emilia was an interesting character for me。 I really liked her and felt like I could relate to a lot of her emotions。 But I loved that she grew and needed to accept her life as it had been dealt to her, within the mafia life, as a wife, and all of the responsibilities that comes with her life。 She grew, and had the stern hand of her man to help her。 Liam was dominant, in charge, and despised rudeness。 I liked how he responded to some of Emilia’s sassy side, and I loved how he couldn’t get her out of his head。 I liked them together! I loved their ups and downs and struggles to finding their happily ever after。 And I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in the Bachman world! 。。。more

A beautiful storyThis is an absolutely wonderful story to read。 Liam has risen though the ranks to now become king, and Emilia is a mafia Princess who has been brought up by her brothers in a house which is now falling asleep apart。 Emilia dosnt want to get married, but their actions have consequences。 But it dosnt take long before they both realise that they really do have feelings for each other。A must read book in my opinion。
