The One: A Slow Burn Age Gap Mafia Romance Kindle Edition

by Nikila Rose (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 36 ratings
Mariella:
Mateo De Marco has it all. Power, wealth, and the kind of looks that make women weak in the knees.
He’s tantalizingly close yet impossibly out of reach—until my wedding day takes an unexpected turn, and his gaze finally lands on me. My world flips upside down, and my heart? It never stood a chance.
But just when I dare to dream of a happily-ever-after, betrayal shatters his family, pulling me into a deadly trap.
Now, I face an impossible choice: let the man I love die or sacrifice myself to save him.

Mateo:
I’ve been waiting for my One my entire life, never realizing she was right in front of me. Now that I see her, I’ll stop at nothing to make her mine. Mariella Accardi is my future. My heart. My everything.
But love always comes at a price.
At the height of my happiness, betrayal forces me to choose—Mariella Accardi, the woman I’ve waited a lifetime for or the code that has made me the most powerful man in Italy. One wrong move could destroy it all.

Ready to dive into a love story that will keep you on the edge of your seat? Don’t miss out—one click on 'The One' to discover Mariella and Mateo’s unforgettable journey.

    By the end of Chapter 1, I was hooked. I wondered if she would go through with the wedding or find a way to escape. I just had to keep reading to find out, and I’m so glad I did. This book is packed with spice and keeps you on the edge of your seat with suspense. The ending, while a Happily Ever After, is definitely unexpected and adds a surprising twist to the story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book is The One!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025
    Dear Nikila,

    This review is to you and for you, my beautiful friend. I was honored to be able to beta-read for you, and I hope to continue doing so for a very long time. Friend, you know many things about me and my long history with The Triple Flame Trilogy. The bittersweet ending came at a rough time, but you understood and were patient. The opportunity to read The One was absolutely fantastic, and it felt like a full-circle moment. It was so special to me, and I enjoyed reading it. I can't wait to read more from you... Now, to the actual review!

    The One by Nikila Rose was absolutely magnificent and beautifully written. I cried, laughed, and screamed at and for the characters. I might get too attached to people, hence the crying. You were right there for the tears, and I know you got a good laugh at it. You're slightly evil for the things you put me through. Ha, you already knew that, though. Fantastic job on your new release, friend! Xoxo

    Mateo and Mariella were freaking great! I couldn't have asked for a better story for those two, and I am so happy that I got to be a part of it in small ways. I think it's time I get a character named after me, Nikila. Lol. Mateo was sweet and charming. I fell in love with him very quickly, and there is evidence. A lot of it, actually. At first, Mariella is innocent and naive, but her character development is magnificent, and she becomes such a baddie. Everything about this book is worth the read. I'm serious; go read it. Go read it right now.

    The One by Nikila Rose is now live and available on Kindle Unlimited!

    1.0 out of 5 stars move on Nikila
    Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2025

    I wanted to love this story but since the 5th book for Tiero and Ella, Nikila’s stories just keep going downhill.
    Mentions from the MMC how the FMC is sweet, strong blah blah blah literally is a contradiction to what is actually written. One minute Mari wants to act tough saying she’s had enough of her dad’s abuse but then curls up like a scared child.
    This story just dragged on to long. Probably could have cut 20% if there wasn’t so much repeat of the same thing.
    Nikila please move on to a different storyline. These characters need to be put to rest

    5.0 out of 5 stars Restored my faith in love
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 25, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    After the "injustice" of having Tiero die in the first series, this definitely soothed everything in me. I loved their slow pace to realise where they were and then rapid pace to start their lives together. Their relationship and story were very well thought and balanced. He respected her from the beginning and always trusted her opinion and support. It restored my belief in real love for a little while.
    I loved Mateo. A kind soul in the end compared to other strong mafia characters. I already loved him prior to reading his book, so his character was extremely well thought from the beginning.
    And I really loved Mari. She was incredibly strong. Slowly building her confidence and then owning up to it when being the mafia queen. I think this role would have suited her perfectly.
    But I loved the end. I loved that they got their happy ending and quiet life. With the bonus chapter, I really closed this chapter of my life very well.
    The book was exquisite. It made me keep my breath until the last second. Everything made you believe it was predictable, and then it wasn't what you expected. Kept me on my toes. And anyone who says otherwise clearly doesn't appreciate writing.
    The author is definitely amazing, I already said it after reading Tiero's books. Looking forward to more of your work x

    I had been waiting for Mateo story since meeting him as Tiero brother. This can be read as a standalone, but would recommend reading the Triple Flame Series to see the connection to the other characters.
    It was a slow burn love with an age gap romance. Full of emotions between Mateo & Mari story as he realises she is The One.
    The end of the story & the epilogue has an HEA.
