Beloved: A Dark Mafia Romance Novel (Montavio Brotherhood) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,652 ratings

The moment I meet Ricco Montavio, my world tilts on its axis.

Hotter than hell and maddeningly dominant, he’s suddenly in my world on the regular: in my massage studio, at my daughter’s preschool, on my front porch, in my every waking thought

Why me?

I’m a rule follower. A single mom just trying to make ends meet who was
not looking to hook-up with anyone… much less a King of the Boston Underworld who makes his own rules.

Every fiber of my being screams at me to run.

But instead...

I kneel.
I submit.

I plummet headlong into a love affair with the most dangerous man I’ve ever met, a man who’s clearly keeping secrets.

I know Ricco Montavio breaks people for a living.
I can only hope his secrets don’t break
me.

Dani And Ricco!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶🌶🌶.75 I got this as an ARC! I loved this book! I am so thankful for valentine pr for this e-book. I absolutely loved Ricco and Dani together. Dani’s husband was accidentally killed by Ricco Montavio. Ricco Montavio kept dropping off groceries to Dani without telling her. He also didn’t tell her that he accidentally killed her husband Nick. But at the end there was a great plot twist.

    Another book in the Montavio Brotherhood series. This is Ricco and Daniella's (Dani's) story. If you've been reading the series, you know that Ricco, was married to Martina in an arranged marriage. He was never IN love with her, but he loved her; she was his best friend. They had a son, but soon after his birth she was diagnosed with cancer. He gave up his position as head (Don) of the family to his brother Sergio so he could support his wife through the horrors of chemo and take care of her and their son. The chemo didn't work and after her death, he retreated to Italy with his son for a few years.

    This story opens with Ricco back in Boston. He doesn't like killing, but he'll do what he has to do to protect those he loves. Defending his youngest brother, Timeo, he gets into an altercation that leaves a man dead. Rather than risk involuntary manslaughter charges, Sergio makes it all go away.

    Dani is the wdow of that deceased man. She'd loved him when they first married, but he wasn't the man she thought he was. His cheating, among other things, killed any feelings she might have had for him, long before he died; she'd just been going through the motions for her 4 yr old daughter's sake. When she receives an insurance settlement from her husbands "accidental" death, she opens her own massage studio, something she'd always wanted to do. But soon after opening, a large massage chain opens almost across the street from her and business isn't so good.

    After discovering the man whose death he caused, also left behind a child, Ricco's guilt starts to consume him. He begins watching Dani, leaving groceries and gift cards on her doorstep. And in spite of Sergios warnings to stay away, he starts making appointments at her massage studio. Sergio may be his Don now, and he won't take that position back, but he doesn't have to obey him either.

    Thus starts a romance that is fraught with perils. Another brother and his Don not happy with what he's doing; and what happens when she finds out he was responsible for the death of her child's father? Throw in a trip to Italy and a family vetting; a crooked cop asking too many questions; and who's the mystery man that cop was talking to and what was his connection to her husband? Add in a missing child and other cops not asking enough questions or doing enough. With so much going on all while two who shouldn't, fall in love... but maybe they're just what the other needs! Love the play between these two! 4.75 stars!

  • Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023
    My words can’t do this book justice. It is a masterpiece of swirling emotions vibrating with
    realism. I mourn that I finished it quickly instead of savoring it as I wanted. This was due to
    how Ms. Henry consistently instills anticipation into her storylines and characters. I loved
    every moment of this Mafia story and enjoyed getting inside Ricco and Dani’s heads while
    trying to understand the reasons they reacted as they did. This may have been a tale with
    elements of brutality, danger, and fear but, it was also about healing, growth, new beginnings,
    and confronting one's beliefs. I hoped for a happy ending but wondered how the author
    was going to achieve this when the truth came out about Ricco. So much pain could have
    been prevented if only Ricco and Dani had an honest conversation to start with.

    Both Ricco and Dani were single parents after the loss of their partners, but they could not
    deny the instant attraction between them. Meeting at Bella Notte was only the start of their
    journey. Rocco may have been a Montavio but he had a gentleness about him that i admired.
    He shattered the image of a dark and dangerous mafia man by the way he interacted and
    connected with Danni and their children. He may have been dominant, but he treated Dani
    like his queen. Rocco was so protective and I loved his brand of dominance.It was filled with
    respect and affection.

    Dani was on a quest for the about her husband's death. Not that she mourned him, but her
    daughter deserved the truth. Her quest led her to Bella Notte and Ricco, where a new world
    opened for her to explore.

    This book was professionally written and fast-paced. An engaging tale that was original with
    vibrant characters. The secondary characters played an important role in adding depth to the
    storyline. A wonderful addition to this series.

    I love a good mafia romance. Jane Henry hives us the Montavio family from Boston.

    Ricco is a big mafia baddie with a teddy bear heart for his leading lady. He'll take on heaven and earth for her and risk it all.

    Ricco and Dani have both had painful relationships. Fate pulls them together after one tragic incident. But strings are being pulled in the background and the stakes are getting higher. Danger is ahead for all!! Will their growing feelings, fight and family support be enough for a future? Heat, suspense, action and great characters!!!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2024
    I love a good mafia romance, I felt this one was on the lighter side but still very enjoyable. Ricco and dani's world collide after her husband is killed. Guilt then obsession drives ricco into her life and soon she's playing happy families. Warnings and red flags fly but dani doesn't know the whole truth and soon realises there's only one person she can call when her world falls apart. I love how ricco was as a father to Marco and fatherly towards emmy. He was caring and protective.

    Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2023
    Great addition to the series. Ricco and Dani's love story was great. It had everything love hate pain joy betrayal laugher trust etc. Both we were is previous relationships but never in love until fate brought them together. The suspense of what will happen next lots of twists. Adding other characters from previous stories was a great addition. The brothers made me laugh they were funny but at the same time they always had each others back and always loyal. Thank you Jane for another great book truly enjoyed all your books I've read. Look forward to Timeo's love story.
