Condemned to Love: A Stand-alone Dark Mafia Romance (Mazzone Mafia Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 9,123 ratings

★☆AN AMAZON TOP 25 BESTSELLER★☆
No. 1 bestseller in multiple categories

A new stand-alone dark mafia romance from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis.

Her teen crush is now a ruthless killer and powerful mafia heir. Will one life-altering night unite or destroy them?

Bennett Mazzone grew up ignorant of the truth: he is the illegitimate son of the most powerful mafia boss in New York. Until it suited his father to drag him into a world where power, wealth, violence, and cruelty are the only currency.

Celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Sin City should be fun for Sierra Lawson, but events take a deadly turn when she ends up in a private club, surrounded by dangerous men who always get what they want.

And they want
her.

Ben can’t believe his ex’s little sister is all grown up, stunningly beautiful, and close to being devoured by some of the most ruthless men he has ever known. The Vegas trip is about strengthening ties, but he won’t allow his associates to ruin her perfection. Although it comes at a high price, saving Sierra is his only choice.

The memory of Ben’s hands on her body is seared into Sierra’s flesh for eternity. She doesn’t regret that night. Not even when she discovers the guy she was crushing on as a teenager is a cold, calculating killer with dark impulses and lethal enemies who want him dead.

Understanding the risks, she walks away from the only man she will ever love, stowing her secrets securely in her heart. Until the truth becomes leverage and Sierra is drawn into a bloody war—a pawn in a vicious game she doesn’t want to play.

As the web of deceit is finally revealed, Ben will stop at nothing to protect Sierra. Even if loving her makes him weak. In a world where women serve a sole purpose, and alliances mean the difference between life and death, can he fight for love and win?

This is a full-length STAND-ALONE 145k-word novel with NO cliff-hanger and a HEA. For romance readers who enjoy age-gap, sister's ex, second chance, dark mafia romance. Each book in the Mazzone Mafia series focuses on a different couple.

From the Author

Excerpt:

"Thank you, Benny. You are always so gracious." My sister kisses my cheek before angling her head in Sierra's direction. "She looks like an angel," she adds, as we sway to the music.

"Don't let that beautiful innocent exterior fool you. Right now, she's the devil incarnate," I say, tightening my hold on my sister's waist as I watch Sierra press her lips dangerously close to Alessandro's mouth. If she kisses him, I will rip her from his arms, toss her over my shoulder, and drag her to my room to give her a physical reminder of who she belongs to--consequences be damned.

"I saw her sneaking glimpses at you during dinner," Natalia murmurs. "She looked like she wanted to murder you half the time."

"Good. That's exactly how I prefer it."

"The rest of the time she looked equal parts hurt and besotted." Her blue eyes pin mine in place. "Don't destroy her, Benny. Let your heart feel." Her hand sweeps along my cheek. "Would it be so bad to let yourself love her?"

"You know it would," I say in a clipped tone. "It's not going to happen. Whatever fantasy you have conjured up is all in your head."

Binged in one sitting!
“Being back in Chicago and being around Sierra again has brought a lot of memories and emotions to the surface. I’ve spent so long not thinking about my past, trying to forget about Vegas, and focusing on building the business and taking care of my father that I don’t know how to deal with this. I’m not sure I’m equipped to handle the onslaught of things I’m feeling.” Bennet Carver Mazzone. Carver was his past; Mazzone was his legacy. Heir to the New York Outfit. Ruthless. All work and no play. He doesn’t show mercy, nor does he show emotion. It’s a sign of weakness, and with that birth-write, he went all in and paved the way to a different future for his family. Sierra. The black sheep of the family. The free spirit. The girl who loved to express herself through art, and loved effortlessly through others. She was dealt the cards of life and no matter the circumstances, she always dusted herself off and stood the ground she walked on. “Condemned to Love,” by Siobhan Davis is a dark mafia romance. It is a second chance, age-gap romance and it surrounds the unlikely pairing of Sierra and Ben. They were acquainted when Sierra was 13 years old. Ben disappeared for 8 years, and when Sierra finds herself in a horrifying position - they are brought together for a night they never forgot. It left Sierra thinking about a different future - and Ben only focusing on his work. They were both left unfulfilled romantically, and once they are thrust back into each other’s lives 6 years later, secrets come out and their lives are irrevocably changed forever. This book was full of some plot twists that I didn’t see coming, and full of action, steam and emotions running high. Overall it was a great read and I binged it in one sitting! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

    Oh Mafia God!! My heart!! Bennett Mazzone may be mafia but he.is.BEAUTIFUL!!
    GAH!! I’m here to tell you my friends this mouthwatering mob boss is EVERYTHING and Sierra is the perfect heroine to battle it out with him. She can totally verbally and sensually spar with him. Damn this book was the most unparalleled recipe of all my favorite ingredients to have me hooked because I love me some hot banter, non-stop action, suspense and drama. Not to mention jaw dropping, panty melting sexy and swoony moments a plenty.
    Who would have ever thought that Sierra’s teenage dream would one day have to come to her rescue after her twenty-first birthday trip to sin city goes awry.

    I mean he’s definitely not exactly a typical super hero, more like a knight in a perfectly tailored suit. But I’m telling you I would happily volunteer to be rescued by Bennett any day of the week and twice on Sunday if that is how my rescue went down. All rescues of damsels in distress should be handled this way. Exactly.This.Way!! You will understand when you devour this book. And devour it you will. TRUST ME! There will be no adulting, no distractions great enough to break your reading stride. I was legit transfixed by this story. Is there any genre, any troupe Siobhan cannot crush?! I think not!! Here are just a few of the great things this book has going for it...

    ✔ Mafia Romance ⠀
    ✔ strong, sassy heroine
    ✔ hot and sexy alpha anti-hero
    ✔ sister’s ex boyfriend romance⁣⁣⠀
    ✔ second chance romance⁣⁣⠀ ⁣⁣⠀
    ✔ lots of secrets and suspense
    ✔ full of steamy, sexy and even sweet and swoony moments

    All this and more right here in this perfectly packaged book. Trust me this book is unputdownable! Siobhan Davis left me shocked and constantly on the edge of my seat, chapter after chapter! One minute I was blown away, the next I was breathless and then totally hot and fanning myself. In.the.best.flippin.way!!

    My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
    ⭐️⭐⭐⭐⭐️- GAAHHH!! I absolutely couldn’t get enough of the push and pull between Bennett and Sierra. It was literally like an explosion went off when these two started throwing down. It was a rush of action, secrets, lies, forgiveness, sex, love, lust, just so.much AWESOME! #IWANTMORE
    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥- GAH!! Words are failing me here my friends, which doesn’t happen often. But yeah!! Smokin’! I mean dang hot y’all. So.Dang.Hot!
    🌪Cliffhanger Warning-No cliffhanger! However, Siobhan Davis has set us up for all the more books in this series and I cannot wait!!
    🔫 Trigger Warning-This book does have some scenes that could be considered triggers for some, but what you would expect from a Mafia Romance. They are a bit graphic. If you have concerns you can PM for more information.

    Condemned to Love is the first book in the Mazzone Mafia series by Siobhan Davis. It’s also the first book I have read by this author, though it won’t be the last because this book is fire!

    At 13, Sierra Lawson had a huge crush on her oldest sister’s 21-year-old boyfriend Ben Carver - he’s gorgeous, sweet, and one of the few people who has ever shown her kindness. Years after Ben suddenly disappears, Sierra has all but forgotten about him.

    At 21, Sierra is in Las Vegas celebrating her birthday when she flashes on the radar of a terrifying mafia don who forcibly takes her to use and discard. Sierra doesn’t see a way out of this nightmare until she sees Ben - now Ben Mazzone and don of the Italian mafia. Ben is compelled to rescue Sierra, and the two share a passionate night together before Ben coldly dismisses Sierra from his life. When Ben reappears six years later, his goal is to protect Sierra from his mafia enemies.

    This book is AMAZING. The story is well-plotted, fast-paced, action-packed, and filled with excellent characters. The author does an excellent job of creating the Mazzone mafia world. I especially love that she takes time to let us get to know the characters. I am looking forward to reading the next books in the series, especially Alesso and Serena’s book.

    Quibble - Much is made of the character of Terry Scott - who he was to Ben, his real identity, a missing box - and then nothing. There’s no explanation or closure, and I would have liked more. I thought it was going one way, but I was wrong. Maybe there will be more about him in the next books.

    So, if you love a thrilling mafia romance, read Condemned to Love, and be sure to let me know what you think! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I’m a late fan of Siobhan Davis’s work so I’m circling back and reading these books in order! Siobhan has a true talent for writing mafia romance! Ben and Sierra’s story will take you on a whirlwind. Ben has always been Sierra’s secret crush… but her sister met him first.

    When these two encounter each other later in life, there’s an instant attraction that fateful night that sets them on a path neither could have predicted. There are a ton of surprises in this book, which is what Siobhan is brilliant at. She can take a story and give it so many twists and turns you’re not sure what’s going to happen next. She always writes with an element if danger and suspense. I absolutely loved Ben and Sierra’s story and can’t wait to dive into Leo and Natalia’s story!

    Reviewed in Australia on February 15, 2021
    What an amazing standalone! These can often be hit and miss for me but when I saw it was the brain child of Siobahn, I just knew it was going to be special and boy I was not disappointed. This book has a bit of everything angst, alphahole, strong fmc, suspense and intrigue as well as soak your panties hotness from Ben and Sierra, a longing for more of the supporting characters (which thankfully are planned in the next to books, hello Alessandro and Leo *droooool*) and finally the sweetest (and realistic!) HEA! But my utmost fav thing about this author besides her unique stories (rydeville elite!!) And strong, hot, complex and down right drool worthy characters (sainthood!) Which this book has in abundance but also the extended views into her characters. She gives snippets into the future beyond an epilogue and the scene she sent wrote for her fans from Ben and Sierra's visit to one of the sex clubs is freaking hawt! I loved everything about this book and author. I cannot wait to see what she has in store for Serena and Natalia.

    Reviewed in Canada on February 5, 2021
    Siobhan Davis and mafia equals GOLD! I expected it to be something great and it was spectacular.  Ben is very much the alpha mafia man but not in an over-the-top way many books portray. He is a intelligent and looking to the future of la familgia. Sierra is the kind of woman I'd like to be friends with. 

    Their story is not an easy romance and their are many twists and turns in this book you won't see coming. I look a book that makes you think and try to figure it out. The mafia is portrayed in a well thought out way and shows the struggle of modernization.

    There are so many other great characters and I am thrilled more books set in this world are to come. If you like a good mafia romance, one click this! You will not be disappointed.
