Deviant Hearts: A Dark Enemies To Lovers Mafia Romance Kindle Edition

To stop a mafia war, I’m being forced to marry my sworn enemy.

A brutal, domineering, and lethally beautiful monster with a body built for violence. Ares Drakos—new king of the Drakos Mafia family—is every inch the God of War he’s named after.

And now, I belong to him.

Our unholy union is meant to end the bloodshed between Irish and Greek. A rising tide to lift all ships.

A match made in hell. And if we can’t stop from killing each other, “until death do us part” might happen before we can say “I do”.

It’s not supposed to be real. Until it becomes something else.

Something dark, dangerous, and deliciously deviant.

The God of War might be invading my bed, my dreams, and my every sinful desire.

But there’s one thing he’ll never conquer.

My heart.


Deviant Hearts is a standalone dark mafia, arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers romance with a smart, untamable heroine, and an ultra possessive hero with "look at her and I'll unalive you" energy. This is the explosive start to the Dark Hearts mafia series. Readers are advised to read the TW inside. No cliffhanger; HEA included.

Absolutely in love❤️

Absolutely in love❤️
I have absolutely fallen in love with this new mafia romance by Jagger Cole, Deviant Hearts. Actually, I think I am going to hooked on these whole Kildare and Drakos families and their adventures. Ares is certainly one dirty talking, possessive, and protective alpha-hole with an unmatched devotion to Neve who also happens to be his wife from an arranged marriage. Their chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS high even while they are bickering constantly and pushing each other’s buttons even unprovoked. I have enjoyed reading every page, every word and every family member. I am sure all mafia romance fans will feel the same. I can’t wait to read Cillian’s story next.

Arranged marriage books tend to be a hit or miss for me, and this one was an absolute HIT. Ares is not only living up to his *god of war* namesake, he is also a god of org@sms ❤️‍🔥 The chemistry between these two was so hot!

Neve is fiery and smart, not one to be pushed around or taken lightly. But when her husband-the hot as sin man from the rival family-pushes her buttons… it’s like fireworks.

I absolutely loved the twists in this book and the characters are so well developed along the way. It’s spicy, suspenseful, and has all the growly over the top jealous/possessive goodness my dark romance loving heart wants.

A different take on mafia romance.
Certainly fun! Loved the uncle! Who doesn’t want an uncle like that?
Ares, is the god of war, leader of the Greek family but was brought down by an Irish woman.
The last action scenes were amazing.
And the spicy scenes? He must really be a Greek god.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This book was literally insta-fire! What a story. It’s full of so much wit and suspense. It will leave you on the edge of seat, waiting for whats next.

"𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓. 𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒆'𝒍𝒍 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑. 𝑬𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒂𝒚, 𝑺𝑯𝑬'𝑺 𝑴𝑰𝑵𝑬 𝑵𝑶𝑾. "

So, Neve is blindsided by her arranged marriage to Ares, the head of the Greek mafia. But as their families grow closer, Neve’s past catches up to them both and threatens to tear them apart with 𝑩𝑳𝑶𝑶𝑫 involved.

“𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍. 𝑼𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆."

Neve is a take no damn prisoner kinda woman. She had envisions for her future and this wasn’t it. Ares isn’t just your alpha and violent male character. He’s also very smart and has the biggest soft spot for the lady love of his life.

This book is everything you could want to read in a Mafia romance. 💥

"𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒉, 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍. 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂 𝑮𝑶𝑶𝑫 𝑮𝑰𝑹𝑳 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆."

Oh yea, and the spice made me drool a 𝑳𝑶𝑻! 🤤🥵🫠

"𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆."

This was my first Jagger Cole book and I am an instant fan! I will be binging all of his books.

Bravo, Mr. Cole!! 👏🏽👏🏽

Now, onto Vicious Hearts next! Stay Tuned for the review!

3.0 out of 5 stars One too many sentence structure faux pas and medical inaccuracies
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

Spice up my life, yes. But to end a sentence with a preposition and not even mention CPR as a life saving measure when someone’s pulse literally stops. Come onnnnnnn. Did I see the plot twist coming? No. I wasn’t looking that hard for it, so I was pleasantly surprised. The plot was decent enough for me to not DNF the story. However, I found it arguably unrealistic with how the two main characters develop a love for one another. Their sexual chemistry doesn’t seem like a strong enough foundation for their marriage and I would be remiss not to mention that their relationship was hardly developed in the 400+ pages. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and a mafia romance is the perfect opportunity to really sell that trope. It fell a little flat for me.

I. F-ing. Love. NEVE!! Her foul mouthed way she speaks to Area is HILARIOUS “okay, so, first, a-hole, eat a bag of d—ks—“😂😂😂😂😂

The premise of the book is that Neve and Area have to marry to solve a peace treaty with both mafia groups. Neve was not warned of this and obviously isn’t happy about it. Ares is her neighbor and grew up in the mafia so she is well aware of who Ares is. While she finds him hot af she still isn’t happy about the arrangement.

Neve has a dramatic past that comes to haunt her later on and the way Ares is jealous and protective af had me 😮‍💨🤤🥵🥵

This is such a fantastic book that I would easily give it 10/5 stars. The pace isn’t too fast or too slow. The sec scenes are primal and animalistic af and it’s the hottest I’ve ever read. So much angst that it’s the perfect amount. All while not too over the top or too rushed.

I don’t want to give too much away but this is my #1 favorite book right now and I couldn’t put it down!!

READ. THIS. BOOK.

... solo por el hecho de no caer ante los encantos de Ares y no morir por estar con él (como todas la mujeres) cuando la verdad era que SI, si moría por estar con él 🥱.

Afortunadamente Ares le mostró lo que es realmente bueno en esta vida 🔥🥵.

Al principio su dinámica como pareja no lograba atraparme, se querían hacer los fuertes y negar lo que sentían el uno por el otro. Cuando lograron hacer funcionar su matrimonio, Boom, me atraparon por completo.

Aunque Ares es un posesivo e impulsivo, que logró demostrar que está dispuesto a hacer lo que sea para proteger a su preciosa Neve, incluso morir y dar su sangre para que ella viva 🥺❤️.

3.0 out of 5 stars great start to a new series
Reviewed in Spain on October 30, 2023

It has been years since I read any mafia romance, because I felt all the books I was reading were copies of previous ones I read. Surprisingly, this one captivated me for its unique setting.

For beginners, this one follows the story of two big mafia families who have been enemies for years: the Drakos’ family (greek mafia) and the Kildare’s family (irish mafia). To form a truce, they decide to unite their families, arranging Ares and Neve’s wedding.

From the very start, i could feel the tension between these two. But once they get married and get closer, I was sold. You need to understand these two are pretty passionate on the next level, so expect all these steamy scenes on it.

Aside their tension, there is going on a mystery almost since the start that brings all the edge and darkness we all love from mafia romance.

However, im giving it 3.5 stars because I wanted to see more development in terms of romantic bonds between Ares and Neve. Their s****l tension was everything, yet I felt the emotions were forced towards the end, which made me sad because the storyline and setting are really cool.

Im excited to see how the series go on and to meet all the previous characters that were introduced on this book 👀

Book for the mafia romance readathon 2023.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/6.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.

This is my first Jagger Cole and with this book he managed to make me a fan. This ticked all my mafia boxes and I definitely can’t wait to read more by this author.

First of all this is really an enemies to lovers. It’s not like other books who have this trope but the characters aren’t actually enemies. Ares and Neve come from different families who are enemies and have an axe to grind against each other.

Neve is a prickly heroine. She has a sassy and sarcastic mouth and she ain’t afraid to show it and I loved it.
Ares is intensive. He is a King against his will but he will do everything in his power to protect his family and his empire.
Neva & Ares entered this arranged/ forced marriage thinking it would be just that, a contract, but they were also so wrong. Their chemistry was just explosive and they was no backing away from that. I loved how possessive and protective Ares was and moreover I loved that because he is how he is, Neva strived. Ares saw Neva as his Queen and so a Queen deserves a King so he became the King his Queen needed.
I loved them both very much and I can’t wait to read Cillian’s story. It’s gonna be a fun one.
I’m also very much looking forward to Hades story which I assume is with Elsa, the attorney.

From the start to the last, I was constantly smiling, shaking my head and FANNING myself. It’s been a while since I enjoyed a book with this much witty banter.
Ares and Neve were both stubborn and strong but together they were one powerhouse.
It was truly a battle of wills and god, there were many scenes I absolutely adored. Especially those where Ares purposefully nags Neve. I was laughing so much at his antics.
Neve was such a memorable heroine. Fearless, sarcastic but kind. I loved them all (secondary character included).
It was a refreshing change to read a mafia hero who wasn’t silent, broody grumpy but still an alpha and dangerous.

I also haven’t encountered a villain this vile in a while. That man was scary with capital S.
The last part of the book was so good. There were so many twists and revelations I wasn’t expecting and then there was Ares! I still can’t believe the things he did for Neve.

I would describe the secondary characters as a bunch of psychos except Eilish and Callie. Also the writing style and the pace of the book is also so good.
I can’t decide if Cillian is creepy or charming. But I’m so ready to the read his story (the second book in the series).

Safe, highly recommended and KU.

This book contains mention of SA and torture. So check the TW.
