#37 in the entire store
#1 Gothic Romance bestseller

Natalia Mazzone has grown up knowing she is promised to a made man. As the only daughter of one of New York’s most powerful mafia dons, she knows she can’t refuse. It’s her duty, and she would never dishonor her beloved father.

But the man she’s promised to is a monster. And there is nothing but torture, pain, and heartache lying in wait.

So, she grabs happiness when she finds it—in the somewhat reluctant arms of Leonardo Messina.

Leo is her brother’s best friend. A soldato for the Mazzone famiglia. A man with strong ambition and an even stronger resolve. He won’t allow them to give in to temptation, so Natalia is forced to love him from afar.

Until one forbidden night changes everything, and she readily hands Leo the key to her heart.

Leo risked everything for the one woman he can never have. He doesn’t regret it. It saved Natalia from a life of hell, but his actions set her on a different course.

One that doesn’t involve him.

Years have passed, and his feelings remain the same. Yet he keeps his distance, dedicating himself to his new role as underboss to Bennett Mazzone, while the love of his life is married to another man.

Until a twist of fate puts Natalia in his path again, and this time, he is powerless to resist.

This is a full-length STAND-ALONE 126k-word novel with NO cliff-hanger and an HEA. For readers who enjoy brother's best friend, second chance, dark mafia, forbidden romance.

I seriously never know what to expect when I read a book from her. She knows how to keep me on my toes! Forbidden to Love is no different! I’m sure I spent half my read holding my chest with nervous anticipation especially since she is known to take no prisoners in her stories. Leo and Natalia’s story was the one I was anxiously waiting for and to no one’s surprise, Siobhan delivered a banger! The dedication, the desire, the love…my gawd, these two just defined the saying, “love is eternal.” No one, nor time nor space could diminish their feelings for each other. They had a soul deep attraction, a bond that was irreversible and love that was purely unconditional. I stayed up until almost five am, leaving me just a few hours of sleep before work because I just could not put this book down. It had me wholly and completely in its grip. There was no sleep to be had until I saw it through to the very end. And even then I was left wanting more of these two. Ask me if I regret it? Nope, not a single second. Leo and Natalia were so worth it.

I am a huge fan of Siobhan Davis, but this book might be one of my favorites. The chemistry between Leo and Natalia is spicy and there are so many things that you don't see coming. This book tells Leo and Natalia's past relationship as well as their present. I was really worried this book wouldn't have a happy ending, but thankfully it did. I couldn't put this book down and I can't wait to read Scared to Love.

Wow! Natalia and Leo's story was so good! He was swoony yet still alpha and bad a** enough that I totally fell for him. Natalia was strong and went through so much. My heart hurt for her. I can't wait until I read the next one.

HOLY MOTHER OF BOOK LOVERS! I LOVED EVERY FREAKIN MINUTE OF THIS BOOK!! First off I have to admit I had no idea until the end that Bennett and Sierra are the same characters from Condemned to Love and now that I do it's like, DUH! Lol! I never put two and two together. This book was so intense, now that I'm finished I feel like I can finally catch my breath. Now that I'm starting to calm down alittle I'll have to re-read it. Lol. The suspense had my heart pounding and at times I think my hands were shaking alittle. The excitement was through the roof. This book was filled with WTF moments. From the very first page I was consumed. The storyline completely captivated me and was like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that you can't get off of and don't want to get off of. The suspense and excitement was a constant throughout the whole book. Surprises popping up around every corner and constantly keeps you guessing. Some of the characters are so easy to fall in love with and others are so easy to hate, even despise. I absolutely loved Natalia's character, as she grows older she grows stronger. She has her life all mapped out for her by her mafia father. He's a very devout and trusted member of the mafia family and being a Don he is a very important man. So many moments throughout the book had me crying. The things poor Natalia had to endure broke my heart. When her and her mother Rosa were having their private talk when she was sick I was practically bawling. Her love for Leo went from a young woman with a school girl crush to full blown all consuming love, unfortunately for them it takes them a long time to get their lives in order. They both feel it but because of the mafia rules it's forbidden. There were so many twists and turns it left me with my mouth hanging open and scratching my head. Lol. It was exciting and chaotic and just when you start to feel a certain way about one of the characters something happens to make you change your mind. Leo is best friends with Natalia's brother Mateo and they are so close they're like brothers and they're both a part of the family business so to speak. Leo has feeling for Nat but since it's forbidden he keeps his distance but constantly watches her from a distance and both he and Mateo would do anything to protect her. And they do. There is so much intrigue and mystery around everyone and they all have their own agenda and there's alot of back stabbing and plotting. When Leo and Natalia decide to test the limits it's so explosive they melted the sheets. As the story progresses the intensity just keeps climbing until the suspense made my insides jittery. I loved every minute of it! When the book ended It was like a weight was lifted off me and I could finally breath. But it was all worth it. Siobhan never ceases to amaze me and I can't wait to see what comes next. I EXTREMELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE!

I loved every dark and twisty, tragic moment of this brilliant book! Siobhan Davis has done it yet again!!! This book to me has themes of star crossed lovers mixed with the mafia. So no surprise there's A LOT of darkness and tragedy within these pages. However there's also one absolutely AMAZING, resilient, independent, smart, caring, loyal and witty young woman at the heart of the entire tale that will have you alternately cheering and weeping for her throughout the entire book! I dare you not to become a cheerleader for her 😉. There is a truly complex world building with obvious dark themes in this story, and rich characters spanning many years. These characters were written so well I truly fell in love with many of them. By the end of this book they felt like friends. Although there were many struggles, tragedies, and more to overcome there's also such an overall theme of love woven throughout these pages too. Familial, romantic, friendship... love comes in many forms and should never be taken for granted. This book shines a light on just that point through the lens of one amazing young woman and her fierce heart.

This was going to barely be 4 stars, but after that ending, it's now 3.

The book in general was just ok. Instalove that went on while they were kept apart forever. Lots of lose ends in the end. And if it's a standalone, that shouldn't be the case. The end was flat out rushed. When I read, "this concludes forbidden...." I thought it was a joke. I kept reading thinking there was something I was missing, but nope, it's the end.

Definitely some triggers in here with abortion and all that, so just know that.

The husband to the heroine changed drastically and it was a little unbelievable to me.

This book. THIS book! I don’t usually get overly emotional about books, but this one gutted me! Forbidden to Love by Siobhan Davis is the second book in her Mazzone Mafia series, and it is so good!

Natalia has been in love with her older brother’s best friend Leo since she was a little girl, and he loves her right back. For them to be together is forbidden because Natalia is promised to another. As the daughter of a don, she must marry accordingly. And she does, breaking both her own heart and Leo’s. Despite the marriage, Natalia and Leo never let go of their love for each other. After many years go by, they just might have the chance to be together, but Natalia’s life is in danger, and the Mazzone mafia family might be under siege as well. But for Leo, she’s willing to risk everything!

The thing that got me is that the love Natalia and Leo have for one another is so real. Davis writes in such a way that you feel their love and angst and pain as if you are right there with them which in a way you are! I mean ALL the feels. The characters in this series are strongly written, and Davis has created a wild mafia world for them to inhabit. I love seeing characters from the previous book and meeting the new characters. The question I had about the last book - about Terry Quinn - was answered with one sentence, but that box still hasn’t been found. I’m looking forward to the next book(s) in the series!

Forbidden to Love is a stand-alone, but you’ll enjoy it more if you start with the first book in the series! I hope you’ll read this one - be sure to let me know what you think after you’ve read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a story that I became so wrapped up in that I lost sleep, cried, laughed and was on the edge of my seat constantly. I fell in love with their love story and felt every bit of their pain mwhile they longed for one another.
I was slightly disappointed in the HEA as it seemed unfinished.

Forbidden to love is another masterpiece written by my favourite author Sibohan Davis. I was caught from the first page up to the end. It's angsty, exciting, romantic, suspenseful and I haven't found anything similar llike Siobhan Davis' stories, characters and style of writing. I hope to get more of this stuff anytime soon.

I always find myself at a loss for words when I finish a Siobhan Davis book because I’m unsure how to put the range of emotions I go through whilst reading into a concise no-spoilery review. If your the type of person who reads a book and lives every moment this is the book for you. This story rips you apart and puts you back together again in all the best ways.

Forbidden to love is the second book within the same world as condemned to love these are connected stand-alone mafia romance books. It has everything you come to expect from a Siobhan book. It’s full of angst, love, heartbreak and screaming from the roof tops.

Nat and Leo go through the ringer in this book and I love how their relationship is played out in this story. Her relationship with her sons even though well teenage boys pretty much says it all. I did not want this story to end I could have stayed in this book forever but alas all good things come to an end and I cannot wait to go in and do a re-read including Ben and Sierra’s book.

A massive five stars for this story, for everything Siobhan’s ability to build a world that pulls you in a cast of characters that grab your heart and won’t let go. Throw in a couple of cameos from that cutey Rowan, and the relationship between Nat and her brother and sister in law and you have everything you need to know this book is going to be an epic read! I cannot wait to see what’s next

5.0 out of 5 stars Another outstanding standalone!
Reviewed in India on September 30, 2021

This is a standalone mafia second chance romance in the same world as Condemned to love by Siobhan Davis. It's Natalia Mazzone ( Bennett's sister) and Leo Messina's (a soldier working for Ben and his father and also Natalia's brother Matteo's bestfriend) story.

“I don’t want that for you. You deserve better.”“I deserve you,” she whispers, peering longingly at me through her gorgeous blue peepers. “You deserve better than me, and we both know it.”

I can't explain much of the plot without giving away spoilers but I can say that, Nat was the proper dutiful mafia princess who knew that she was going to be used as a pawn to solidify some contracts with other mafia families by being forced into a loveless arranged marriage and that's what exactly happens in her case. Problem is that, she has always loved her brother's best friend, Leo and doesn't want to get married to the monster that is her future fiance. Nat was really strong and opinionated, I'll give that to her. She was firm at her point and answered back to her father to fight for her freedom. I really liked her smart personality but life got into her way and circumstances trapped her in a marriage without love and affection but with huge responsibilities.

“In every lifetime, I would choose you, Natalia.” Taking her hand, I place it over my heart. “We may be apart, dolcezza, but you will always be the only woman I love.”

Leo always loved Nat from afar and even he tried his best but unfortunately he couldn't do anything to get her out of the inevitable fate that lied ahead of her. Nat & Leo's story was heartbreaking, painful and at the same time thrilling and exciting. It was emotional with plot twists that I really didn't see coming. The angst was delivered perfectly and reading Nat's point of view made me cry buckets. Regardless of all the pain, the book ends with Leo & Nat getting their much deserved HEA and the epilogue made me feel so dam happy for them! Overall, I loved getting to visit some known and unknown characters in the book and the bond between Ben & Nat was really heartwarming. I'm most definitely looking forward to reading the next book which is apparently going to be about Alesso & Serena.
