Scared to Love: Mazzone Mafia, Book 3 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Siobhan Davis™ (Author, Publisher), Sarah Puckett (Narrator), Tyler Darby (Narrator)
4.5 out of 5 stars 2,451 ratings

A new dark Mafia friends-to-lovers romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, Siobhan Davis.

Serena has felt trapped her entire life, living a lie because it was demanded of her.

Years of torture at the hands of her sadistic husband have left her battered and bruised, but not defeated. She needs to stay strong for her children, and she’s determined to reset her future.

The future she has all thanks to Alessandro.

He saved her that fateful night when her husband died, and he continues to save her as she struggles to piece her life back together.

Yet the closer they get, the more it terrifies her because no man has ever made her feel like this.

It can’t work.

She’s too broken.

He’s too young.

And she’ll never trust a made man again.

Women never get under Alesso’s skin—until Serena. They share an intense connection that can’t be ignored, no matter how hard she tries to push him away.

He knows she’s scared. He is too, but she’s worth the risk. Alesso vows to be patient, until danger resurfaces and now all bets are off. Serena needs to understand how much she means to him and he will do everything to protect her.

The situation grows more tense as the DeLucas plot against Bennett Mazzone and the surviving Mafia heirs. But Alesso will lay down his life before he lets Serena get hurt again.

Now his walls are lowered, the gloves are off, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Even if it means letting her go.

Note: This is a full-length novel with no cliff-hanger and an HEA, set in the Mazzone Mafia world. This is the third and final book in this series. For listeners who enjoy friends-to-lovers, second chance, reverse age-gap, dark Mafia romance. May contain triggers--please listen to the note at the start of the book.

5 out of 5 stars
An Amazing Read!!
“𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒷𝑒 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓉𝒽 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓀.” Once again, Siobhan Davis has slayed from all angles! Serena and Alesso’s love story was the one I was itching for since the breadcrumbs were dropped in Condemned to Love. To no one’s surprise, Siobhan did not disappoint! I loved the way Alesso and Serena built a powerful foundation of friendship. The way Alesso supported Serena and cared for her with every single part of himself gave me tingles. This man said the most heart warming and panty melting things. It was seriously impossible not to fall for him. The man was just devastatingly swoony. Together he and Serena were an incredible combination of sensualness, passion and unending devotion and I just couldn’t help but eat it up. But, what truly shined was Serena. She was not just a survivor but bonafide badass. A powerhouse and pillar of strength and resilience. Her transformation was epic and left me in awe. Now, in true Siobhan Davis fashion, the twists were heart-pounding twists and left me dangling on the edge for relief. This mafia romance had it all. Simply put, Scared to Love was unputdownable and before the story was over I already was eager for more in this world.

    Oh my gosh! I love this series. I can't give any of the books in this series less than five stars because they are so fricken good.

    I was so excited to read Serena's story after reading the first book in the series. Serena and Alesso's story couldn't have been any better. Alesso is so patient with Serena, and he genuinely loves her and her kids. Serena is an amazing mother and friend, and she deserves the world after what she's been through.

    This book has action as well as spice and tension between the two main characters. I would also say it is a slow burn, but it is completely worth it, in my opinion.

    I'm glad that we got her story along with Sierra's and Natalia's. I can't wait to see what is next for this series.

    What a wonderful finish to the Mazzone Mafia trilogy!! We caught glimpses of who this book would be about in both of the first two books. Alesso and Serena definitely has chemistry noticeable in book 1! Now in book three, Scared to Love we FINALLY get these two, and they are adorable!

    Serena went to a horrible marriage, arranged by her father. She suffered at the hand of this man, only to continue suffering after he died. That is until Alesso comes along and helps build her up and make her whole again. The sheer determination that Alesso set forth with to gain Serena’s trust and ultimately her heart was just amazing. Their relationship was definitely rocky at times, and they both thought they had lost each other.

    As will all mafia families, it isn’t a good mafia book without some family turmoil. We have that in folds here for both Serena and Alesso. Both things were quite the shocker to me! You’ll have to read to find out, that the only hint I’ll give.

    I loved Serena and her ultimate growth. She blossomed as a character and was able to become her own person again. It was amazing to see her determination. Then there is Alesso, and holy swoon factor! This man has it in bulk! I fell in love with his character early in the series and I’m so thankful we got to see his happy ending play out. He truly has the patience of a saint! Oh and his love for her kids, 🥰.

    For the most part, this is one of the least 🌶 books of this series for good reason once you read the context, but I truly did love it! I would highly recommend this book as well as any other in the Mazzone Mafia series!

    The story of Alesso and Serena was truly heartbreaking. Serena takes us through all the torment and trauma she suffered at the hands of her husband. She suffered unimaginable abuse in her marriage; however, she refuses to let her past dictate her future.

    Alesso is moving up the ranks within the Mazzone family and has attracted the eye of Serena and vice versa. Alesso was so patient with Serena. He knew the abuse she suffered and he was determined to show her not only a normal love, but showed her how strong she was to endure what she endured.

    I absolutely loved their story! This was my favorite in the series!

    Mizz Siobhan wrote a remarkable journey for Serena us this tale. She is soooo scarred inside & out, but she rediscovered herself & finally excepted her inner strength us her saving grace. Alessandro aka Alesso was discovered as a lost boy, but became a Mafia made man that climbs the ranks with his extreme intelligence, calming presence & fierce loyalty. Serena & Alesso are two lost souls looking to heal & with her mothering instincts & his calmness they become one another's saving grace. I enjoyed their shared journey & the continuing Mazzone Mafia journey, but I got bored in some parts & just wanted to get to the neat of the story, so my score is 3 fingers up & 8 toes. This was an enjoyable read & I also wanted to read more about the kids because I absolutely love a great family series plus I want the kids stories next.

Reading about Serena’s story and everything she went through was heartbreaking. Her inner strength along with her beauty and compassion is everything. Alesso’s love helps heal all her wounds and he is everything you’d want in a man. Loyal, protective, patient, kind, dark, hot and super romantic. Swoon worthy.

    I love how Siobhan can always make these mafia or slightly darker books about emotions as well and have the reader feeling for the characters. All of the books in the Mazzone mafia world have been really well done and this one is no exception. Serena and Alesso were devoted to each other and it showed through their love story and every obstacle they overcame. I was super excited about their story and the emotions felt from this slow burn read is definitely worth it. If you’re looking for a mafia story with the right amount of romance and possessiveness, look no further than this series.

    I was expecting this book so much!
    Alessi is amazing, and I was so surprised with him, being a made man and having glimpses of him throughout the previous books I didn’t know the depth of his feelings and how understanding he could be.
    Serena was gift. I didn’t know how deep was her trauma, but we could imagined and oh boy, he story broke my heart so badly!
    I was completely heartbroken with her. I don’t know how could she gone through all that and still be standing. She was strong in such a beautiful way. She fought so hard to keep going. Her love for their kids was so big that she put all her suffering aside just to give them a little bit of normal.

    I love it!

    Another great read in the Mazzone Mafia family series. Siobhan Davis and mafia romance is a winning combo and the kast in this series is excellent. Serena is an incredible heroine who's strength grows through this read. Alesso has been a favorite of mine and he does not dissapoint. This couple is fabulous together and their story is filled with emotion, action, suspense and steam. Great read.

    Reviewed in Australia on December 30, 2021

    Serena and Alesso have been hiding their feelings for years. Finally we get to read their story.

    Scared to love is the third and final instalment of the Mazzone Mafia interconnected Stan-alone series. You do not have to read any of the other Mazzone Mafia books before reading this one. All books can be read separately. There is a few scenes and some small spoilers for those who haven’t read the other two books in the series.

    Right from the start Siobhan’s writing sucked me in and my emotions were all over the place. Serena has gone through so much and it’s about time she finally gets her happy story. Her father married her off years ago to a monster of a human and now that he is dead she doesn’t know how to let anyone care about her.
    Alesso has been watching and caring for Serena for a long time and will do anything to protect her.

    Both of these characters had so much to overcome but they found a way to do it together. Reading their story brought tears to my eyes and at times I wasn’t sure if they were going to make it. The love that they have for one another is inspiring and I’m so happy I finally got to read their story.

    This book gives you all the feels and is a must read for any Siobhan Davis fan.
    Thank you Siobhan for writing yet another incredible story for me to lose myself in ❤️

    This is the third and final book in the Mazzone mafia story. I must say Bennett Mazzone is my favourite and I just love the strong name ideal for a mafia man.
    I loved the chemistry between Serena and Alesso and I was pleased it was a slow burn romance and not rushed. I was also pleased that Serena became a bad ass woman and didn’t let all that had happened to her effect her when it was needed for her to be strong. I could read Mafia stories all day long and usually do love this gene. I’m sorry these stories have ended but I am pleased not all is lost as we have the Twins stories to look forward too.
