But when two pink lines should have brought them unbridled joy， her husband ices her out。
An arranged marriage gives Luca great power。
To cement that power， he needs an heir。
The quickest way to do it is to make Natalya fall madly in love with him。

Mafia romance This book was everything the author promised （on a fb post）。 Low angst， plenty of drama and a heap load of grovel。If that's what you like read this。For me personally the amount of grovel needs to be justified for the amount of Betrayal。 In this case it was a majority of unnecessary grovel for my taste。 Yes， when Luca marries Natalya he's less than honest about his feelings， and yes he misses milestones in the birth of their baby （for good reason）。 He's completely loyal to his wife， Mafia romance This book was everything the author promised （on a fb post）。 Low angst， plenty of drama and a heap load of grovel。If that's what you like read this。For me personally the amount of grovel needs to be justified for the amount of Betrayal。 In this case it was a majority of unnecessary grovel for my taste。 Yes， when Luca marries Natalya he's less than honest about his feelings， and yes he misses milestones in the birth of their baby （for good reason）。 He's completely loyal to his wife， shuts down the miscommunication of the OW immediately and never stops searching when Natalya goes missing。 All this before he ever let's her know he loves her。 There was no gut punch， there was no feeling of utter heartbroken-ness that would have called for the amount of grovel and proving himself that Luca did。It made me loose interest partway and then the story seemed to go on for ages。 Just not my cup of tea。 。。。more

I’m on an angst binge and this was recommended in a book group。 There was some decent angst at the beginning and then there was mostly a lot of mafia shenanigans that I browsed through。 The amnesia trope for the second half threw me because I believe it is a device that is sometimes used to avoid parsing out and healing all of the first and second act drama。 But， this book surprised me and did a good job of addressing past hurts done to the heroine by her anti-hero husband。

“Be thankful you’re pregnant because I would very much like to wring your neck。”Yep， this so called hero and so called “husband” said that to his pregnant wife。 I mean wtf？ Why do authors insist on writing horrible and vacuous MMC’s？ What’s this ongoing trend of abuse？It’s not worth my time to continue reading this flop of a story so dnf at 30%

This is what mafia romances should be！Natalya， a don's daughter herself， knows better than to trust her arranged-marriage husband， Luca， boss of the Chicago family。 Still， she wants to feel like theirs is a partnership with meaning， even though she's also keeping her own set of explosive secrets from him。Luca wants Natalya to fall in love with him so he can be assured of her compliance and loyalty， but that's as far as he's willing to go。 Deeper feelings are dangerous in his line of work， and he This is what mafia romances should be！Natalya， a don's daughter herself， knows better than to trust her arranged-marriage husband， Luca， boss of the Chicago family。 Still， she wants to feel like theirs is a partnership with meaning， even though she's also keeping her own set of explosive secrets from him。Luca wants Natalya to fall in love with him so he can be assured of her compliance and loyalty， but that's as far as he's willing to go。 Deeper feelings are dangerous in his line of work， and he's very careful about keeping everyone and everything in its place。After reading Scorned Heir， I really didn't like Luca， and wondered just how the author could make a romantic hero out of such a selfish， arrogant， almost cruel villain。 Through the first few chapters of this book， I was starting to think I'd misjudged him， but then we get the first chapter that's from his POV and bam！ We're right back where we started with his manipulative， devious self。 He's aptly described as， "Lucifer molded into a three-piece suit。" Only， getting to see inside his motivations helps us to understand that he's not quite as evil as he wants everyone to think he is。 And so begins the dance。 He's truly conflicted， torn between ruling his empire and bonding with his wife。My heart broke for Natalya as their marriage goes on， not quite the marriage that either of them wants。 Their honest confrontation of their disparate views is delivered with gut-punching impact， where we can completely sympathize with each of them even as they're drifting apart。 And then the unthinkable happens， and everything is on the line in a tragic series of events that will test everything they know about each other and themselves。 This is a truly epic story， spanning several years， many layers of secrets and betrayals， and truly shocking twists。 Theirs is a very long， long road to their HEA that will take you on a roller coaster of emotions， but it is more than worth the ride。 If all mafia romances were this good， I'd never read another genre again。 I highly recommend this book， and heartily suggest you read Scorned Heir first just so you get a good feel for who Luca and Natalya are before their marriage。 I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book。 。。。more

Pretty good read。 I liked the FMC。 Only thing that annoys me is the whole "I own your orgasms" trope。 Women should be able to pleasure themselves without the whole alpha caveman act。 Pretty good read。 I liked the FMC。 Only thing that annoys me is the whole "I own your orgasms" trope。 Women should be able to pleasure themselves without the whole alpha caveman act。 。。。more

to be clear， he never even engaged with the ow， but he said they move in the same circles， so it is inevitable that they would be at the same event。Then， on the day Natalya gave birth， Luca had a meeting with another family， and this was important to him。 His second in command， Dario， told him that his wife was about to give birth， but instead of excusing himself for the meeting， he ordered Dario to go to the hospital in his stead。 He deliberately chose not to attend his own son's birth because the business took precedence over everything else， and he wanted these people to know that he was not driven by his feelings for his wife。 Stupidest thought I've ever read！！！Natalya gave birth， and this is when she truly realized that Luca would never care for her。 I think almost two months have passed， and she is no longer happy and is showing signs of postpartum depression。 And Luca， during this time， realized what a huge dick he was and started to show that he cares for his wife and son。 But Natalya was not having any of it and became distant and a bit indifferent towards him。 She also found out that Luca promised to give their son to her parents to raise when he turns eight， but he said it was only the alcohol talking and wouldn't go through with that。She was living a double life and was an excellent hacker。 But one of the groups she has stolen traced her， and they kidnapped her and her son。 Natalya got separated from her son to lure away their abductors。 She drove their attention away successfully， and in the end， she protected her son， but it's not until two years later that she will be found again。She had amnesia for the last two years and made a new life in a small town。 Fortunately， or not， Dario saw her in this town and informed Luca about this new information。 Once it was confirmed that it was really Natalya， Luca and his men drove to the place to take her home。I honestly enjoyed Luca seeing Natalya kiss someone else， not just once but twice。 He was raging and about to kill the guy， but this gives me so much satisfaction as I remember their wedding day and his kiss with the OW。 Now he knows how it feels to see someone you love kiss another person。 Anyway， the good thing Luca did here was remain celibate during those two years because he didn't believe that his wife was dead。They said he would grovel; that's why I had so many hopes for this story。 Because he was a grade-A asshole in the first 40%-ish of the book。 People around him call him the king of indenial and avoidance because that is what he was in the first half of the book。 But the "grovel" here was utter crap。 It was only two weeks， and I can't even call that freaking groveling。They were sharing kisses and quick pecks， even though Natalya was supposed to be mad at him。 I honestly thought she would hold her ground because， despite not remembering anything， the pain was so deeply ingrained in her， and her heart apparently knows how much she was hurt by this person。 But unfortunately， she gave in to the attraction and hormones but only set some boundaries by not being intimate with him。The first week， Natalya avoided Luca， but he sent her flowers and chocolates every day。 Then the next week， he planned a trip for them to a private island。 They talked and did domestic stuff together， but most of it was more about telling than showing。 Then， not even three days on the island， she was more than ready to jump his bones because she couldn't stop her attraction or whatever。 And I was like， girl， are you for real？ What he did was the bare minimum， and you're ready to give him another chance already？ He didn't even put in so much effort and hard work to make up for all the things he did in the past。 So how is this even called grovel？ It was disappointing and was so meh。Tbh， I already lost interest in the last 15% of the book。 There were a lot of things that happened; there was a （almost） death match fight， kidnapping， killing， and everything was like thrown in the end just to add another plot。 It was a bit overwhelming for me。Overall， this was okay。 But I think Luca didn't fully redeem himself， and what he did here was not enough for all the pain he caused Natalya。 She was a better person， that's for sure。 Anyway， though this didn't work for me， I'm sure other readers will appreciate it。Book info:- Mafia romance- Arranged marriage- Second chance （2 years）- Amnesia- Violence， death- Kidnapping- No cheating- OMD/OWD- HEA 。。。more
Hey Hello
，
This really disappointed me ，i was expecting groveling and devotion from Luca at least after he thought Natalya was dead and he got her back but we didn't get anything， he kept acting like his regular stoic aloof self towards her。 He acted like he's doing her a favor by being faithful and not having a mistress even if it's his mafia " right " 。He said his ex hook up's name in his sleep and had the audacity to gaslight his wife by saying it was no big deal。 he got mad at her for being upset that This really disappointed me ，i was expecting groveling and devotion from Luca at least after he thought Natalya was dead and he got her back but we didn't get anything， he kept acting like his regular stoic aloof self towards her。 He acted like he's doing her a favor by being faithful and not having a mistress even if it's his mafia " right " 。He said his ex hook up's name in his sleep and had the audacity to gaslight his wife by saying it was no big deal。 he got mad at her for being upset that he still hangs out with his mistress when his wife is alone at home and simply said " we run in the same circle " and never once comforted Natalya or said he wont see jessica anymore or try to avoid her。Even after 2 years he spoke about the incident like it was no big deal like he didn't let his wife make herself sick with worry thinking about him with Jessica。 Luca did change after Natalya came back but it was too late in my book， he treated her like shit when she was pregnant and while suffering through post-partum depression and was even an asshole about not being there for the birth， he valued work over his wife and son with no remorse and that to me is irredeemable。And don't get me started on his deal with Natalya's father behind her back ， as if ripping her son away from her is a casual thing。 and the list goes on This is why the change that Luca went through didn't even begin to redeem him for 1/4 of the shit he did。 my issue isn't his villainous character， that actually made him interesting， what pissed me off was him saying everything he did was for family and Natalya's sake， when it was actually 100% out of selfishness and greed 。Now i have conflicting thoughts about Natalya， on one hand she was this badass hacker who fought child sex trafficking and on the other hand she was Luca's doormat as she so rightfully called herself。 How can this amazing highly intelligent woman be fighting such huge evil and save innocents yet let herself be emotionally and mentally abused by her husband ， i liked her personality way more a Ryane she had more fight in her when it came to standing up to Luca even if i think she gave in to him too easily considering the shit he did and her Amnesia。 And i really wished she got with someone else during those 2 years either sexually or had a bf or given Brad a chance then Luca will trully understand what it was like for her seeing him unbothered with Jessica。But again miss Paige always pulls through with the plots。 there hasn't been a single book with bad plot whether it's Mafia or military or Business ， which is why i'd love for her to write a book focused solely on that with no romance involved because i know she would ACE it she has a great mind for those kind of plots which are so different from regular ones we find in mafia or dark romanceSuch a shame as this was a very anticipated read for me 。。。more

Victoria Paige has outdone herself with this book。 I've been blessed to find her a while back - honestly I can't even remember the first book I read by her and I was HOOKED。 She's easily become one of my ALL time favorite authors。 Her words are always 🔥🔥 and I really wasn't sure she could outdo herself with Scorned Heir。 I was OBSESSED with that book。 So much so I had to add it to my paperback shelf because I'm hoping one day I can stalk her IRL and get her to sign it。 And now I need to do it wi Victoria Paige has outdone herself with this book。 I've been blessed to find her a while back - honestly I can't even remember the first book I read by her and I was HOOKED。 She's easily become one of my ALL time favorite authors。 Her words are always 🔥🔥 and I really wasn't sure she could outdo herself with Scorned Heir。 I was OBSESSED with that book。 So much so I had to add it to my paperback shelf because I'm hoping one day I can stalk her IRL and get her to sign it。 And now I need to do it with Scorned Vows。You know you have a fantastic book， fantastic characters and a world you can immerse yourself in when you find yourself laughing， crying， screaming and wanting to throw your kindle across the room a few times。 I admit it took me a little longer than normal to read because ALL THE DAMN TEARS YOU BROUGHT TO ME， MS。 VICTORIA。 It was all worth it。 SO worth it。 My heart went out to both of them and I was grateful for the dual POV so I could understand what they ACTUALLY were going through。The banter。 The angst。 The amount of times I wanted to smack Luca upside the head。 And even our girl。 But at the same time， BOY did sis made him work for it。 The strength of Natalya was 🤌🤌🤌。 Once I found Victoria Paige a few books back， I knew I'd get sucked into all her words （and she's got quite a few on Audible so make sure you go stalk her back catalogue， too）。Not only that， Victoria needs to put the paperback up for sale so I can buy it。 And hope that one day I'll get to meet her so she can sign my books for me 🥰😍😘🙏。Y'all REALLY REALLY REALLY need to read this book。 Scorned Heir is one of my ALL TIME top 5 books and Scorned Vows will be up there too。 Bravo Mrs。 Paige。 Thank you for always writing the most amazing books。 BRAVO and again。。。 I truly hope you get all the recognition you deserve for such amazing and riveting stories。 I can't wait for the next one！ 。。。more

Not really a fan of the amnesia story that takes the h away from her kid， but this story was okay。

This is the second book in this series， and this is Luca and Natalya’s journey。Luca is a mafia boss， and enters into an arranged marriage with Natalya， and he is determined to get her to fall in love with him。 This is a well written slow burn， fast paced， action packed， emotional roller coaster， with an arranged marriage， suspense， secrets， loyalty， second chances， and love， which leads to an entertaining， unpredictable， twisted， haunting， and steamy addictive page turner。I look forward to readi This is the second book in this series， and this is Luca and Natalya’s journey。Luca is a mafia boss， and enters into an arranged marriage with Natalya， and he is determined to get her to fall in love with him。 This is a well written slow burn， fast paced， action packed， emotional roller coaster， with an arranged marriage， suspense， secrets， loyalty， second chances， and love， which leads to an entertaining， unpredictable， twisted， haunting， and steamy addictive page turner。I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend。 。。。more

“When I said my vows， even if I scorned them， I meant them。”Natalya Conte and Luca Moretti have just entered into an arranged marriage。 Luca is head of the Chicago mafia and views love as a weakness he never wants to have。 He wants Natalya’s loyalty， though， which he figured comes with love， so as soon as she falls in love with him， Luca backs off。 What Luca doesn’t know is that Natalya is up to some shady dealings of her own - she is not your typical mafia wife。 This book is an epic story of lo “When I said my vows， even if I scorned them， I meant them。”Natalya Conte and Luca Moretti have just entered into an arranged marriage。 Luca is head of the Chicago mafia and views love as a weakness he never wants to have。 He wants Natalya’s loyalty， though， which he figured comes with love， so as soon as she falls in love with him， Luca backs off。 What Luca doesn’t know is that Natalya is up to some shady dealings of her own - she is not your typical mafia wife。 This book is an epic story of love， of intrigue， and power。 I don’t want you to spoil anything， but suffice it to say that there are huge twists along the way。 I love Natalya’s character - she goes from being a people pleaser to being strong and independent。 Luca displays lots of growth and a better understanding of what love is all about。 His and Natalya’s relationship grows enormously from being just an arrangement to being real。 Throughout the story， there are plenty of mafia activities as well。 There is great world building and some strong side characters。 Also， be prepared for some great bonus material！I recommend Scorned Vows。 Read it and let me know what you think - I’d love to discuss！ 。。。more

All my tropes！ Ms。 Paige satisfies so many of my cravings， all in one amazing story！ Mafia， second chance， arranged marriage and more！ This was highly engaging！ Hot！ Fast-paced！ The characters are exceptional。 Hate to love the main male character， Luca！ This is everything I love in a mafia romance。 What a way to start the new year！ Cannot wait for more Scorned Fate！
