About the author

Leigh is a dark M/M romance author from Texas who writes villains of varying degrees. She considers coffee a major food group and her family fears broken coffeemakers. She writes in her spare time, forced to the keyboard by characters entirely too vocal in her opinion and often falls victim to plot monkeys. In between creating mayhem with her characters and friends, her hope is to transport readers to fictional places and provide darkness with a twist.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThere aren't enough words for this book. It's...not perfect but perfect for the characters. Everything has come down to this. Il Padrone and his Boys have been through a LOT over the past eight books. They've faced challenges both individually and as a family and now, the last villain trying to ruin them is ready for the final showdown.
Emilio has come a long way since book one. He's now everything he needs to be to help his Master, and his Brothers to take down the one who wants to ruin them.
Il Padrone has also come so far. You wouldn't think that after all he's done during the series, everything he's put his Boys through, that he could... have character development, but he does. It's not so much that he changes, but that he embraces everything he's shoved down for so long. Growing up with his father, he became who he thought he needed to be, but meeting Lio and the trials and tribulations they have gone through, have taught him how that he can be Il Padrone and just Allesandro at the same time. It was really nice to see such character development in a rather cold and unyielding character.
I loved everything about this book. Leigh Kenzie told an amazing story across eight books and she wraps it up in a very messy bow. The writing in this book is top-notch and beautiful in places in this book. The story works and does everything the finale needs to do.
Absolutely love everything about this series and while I'm sad that it's ending now, and I happy where the story ended up.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseTo be honest, I love the storyline but some of the sex scenes were not for me. The BDSM dynamics were fine but some stuff I truly skimmed over.
Also loved how everyone found their HEA, Antonio’s triad slipped through the cracks but I would love a look into that group?
Looking forward to the spinoff by both Leigh Kenzie and Abrianna Denae “Crimson Bonds “.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSeries: 5 stars. Taken together the 8 book series was a fantastic read that I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters of Lio, Allesandro, and Luca were so well written. I didn't actually like them but I did love them. I'd like to read a story about Marcus/Keegan as well as Benjamin/Ignacio. Benjamin managed to bring some humor to a dark tale. And dark it was,the blackest black imaginable. This brings as to why I gave this last book 4 * instead of 5. First after waiting and waiting for all the villains to finally get their well deserved pay back, it fell flat! It was quick perfunctory and felt rushed. I was not given the time to wallow in and savor their misery and destruction. Also the epilogues were so out of character, it seemed like I had stumbled into a different story. So much sweetness and light! The treacley HEA just didn't fit. It went way overboard. But all in all this series certainly satisfied my craving for a dark, sex filled, never dull mafia inspired story. Well Done!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI loved the characters and the story line. It's best read in order I think . Its mafia murder love bdsm all the things i love . I recommend this series if those are things the reader would like. Excellent books all seven ..
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis 8th book in the series ties up the loose ends and reveals the depth of love, courage and victory in the Martelli family. Revenge is a dish served with a sharp instrument and bullets. You will be on the edge of your seats with this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLet's be clear, this series is not for the faint of heart. It is dark and delightfully twisted and the characters are not ashamed of who they are and what they do. There are several couples featured, but the primary couple, Allesandro and Emilio are true soul mates. I am going to say little more, because I don't want to spoil any part of the story, but I read all eight books back to back to back...I can't remember when I slept last, I was so eager to devour every word.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI'm sorry I reached the end of this series, it gave everything and the kink was well written. It had all types of surprises and every book bought something to the table it flows so well great job Author
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe family really comes together in this final story, and anyone standing against them gets what's coming to them.
I really liked this series, and although I am sad to see it end, it was a good ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Finale
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSo much has happened, but we get more than one happy for now, and it's all tied up neatly in a violent, red-tinged bow.
- Nicole MinottiReviewed in Australia on September 18, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars A must read series.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a dark Mafia series and does include plenty of depravity! Be warned! This whole series is superbly written, full of twists and turns. It is a huge credit to Leigh Kenzie to keep us entertained and on the edge of our seats for the whole 8 books. I love this series and can highly recommend it, but please read it in order. Castigo the final book, is still full of plot twists while leading us to the conclusion and leaves you with a tantalising tease of future works from this talented author.
- moseyingalongReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars A suitable end, or maybe not.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI waiting in anticipation for this, I foresaw the end with Cole, and a fitting one at that Marcus and Keegan needed that peace. I live in hope the author will give us a wedding book, I'm happy the family is on track but I was on the edge of my seat throughout the book. Highly recommend this, its a fitting end with the promise of more. Jax really was a twisted peice of work, his sister well not really unexpected.
Keep them coming, some series keep you enthralled throughout, and some are not worthy of remembering, this one I will re-read again when I need something murderous in my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseGreat Kink Mafia series from this author. The story was great all the way through and I loved the involved kink. Recommend you star with Il Padrone and get the full impact!
