Ruthless Honor: A Dark Paranormal Mafia Romance (Syndicate Masters: La Cosa Nostra) Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 390 ratings

His power is absolute.
No one crosses Roman Genovese and lives to tell about it.


Zia
I am a master thief, a cat burglar. I manage to get access to Genovese’s estate under false pretenses. He thinks I’m there to attend a fundraising gala; he’s wrong. What I want is a priceless Michelangelo he keeps in his study.

From the time I arrive at his estate, I am drawn to the compelling gangster in a way I have never experienced. Having sex with him was a mistake… a BIG mistake. He isn’t a man to let go of what is his, and there’s no question that I am.

But staying with him is not part of my plan.

Roman
From the moment she entered my home, I knew she would never leave. Her scent filled my nostrils and I knew I had found my fated mate.

There are secrets hiding in her eyes, but I will discover them all.

She is mine. The bratva have taken her and are keeping her in a gilded cage. They mean to use her against me and force me to honor their demands. My tiger will show them the ruthless honor of La Cosa Nostra.

Meet the men and women of La Cosa Nostra. Their motto is family honor above all. They vow to protect their clans and live by an oath of honor and loyalty. The men are gorgeous, dangerous beasts seeking their fated mates. The women they love are bold and brilliant. Their love blazes bright and hot.

Editorial Reviews

Review

***** Reviewer Rhonda - "Ruthless Honor', the first book in Delta James' "Syndicate Masters: La Cosa Nostra", is an exhilarating read! Not only does it have tie-ins to "Syndicate Masters: Northern Lights" concerning the bratva threat but we briefly reconnect with Rhys, Lars Jakobssen's mate. Don't worry, reading the previous series is not a prerequisite"

***** Reviewer Patricia "I sincerely doubt that you would be disappointed with what you find waiting between the pages of this brilliant shifter romance."

***** Reviewer Ritu "Zia's past really endeared her to me. Roman is loving, and affectionate in his own way. There is mystery, and suspense."

***** Reviewer Krys "This book was fantastic. I love Roman and Zia's characters. Zia is a thief and Roman is the head of his Syndicate. We get the reluctant mate angst and sexy times galore."

***** Reviewer Sue "Spectacular read, the Poseidon Tiger and his Fated Mate, together in a blaze of glory"

    What happens when you steel from the wrong person you mite end up dead but Zia has either got 9 lives or her luck just ran because it's not the art that Roman wants back but the beautiful thief that stole from him she's his Mate and as and a Atlantian shifter Tiger he will kill anyone that gets in his way.

    Zia a human thief know only as the ghost has the help of and equally talented hacker help her on all her mission after all sisters stick together even when tragedy tore them apart as children. Now they take from the rich and give to those in need all while making a hefty profit. But Zia loves the challenge and what's more challenging then stealing from and Italian Don. That's until a night of passion and him deciding she's going to be his submissive and mate he's crazy the chase is on. So what happens when she discovers his little *caugh* secret well she either gets over it fights him tooth and nail or a little of both because he infuriates her but she just can't get enough of her sexy Tiger.

    There's danger, secrets, hidden identities, and hot passion under the Italian Sun.

    This was an excellent adventure and romance! I thoroughly enjoyed Roman and Zia’s battle of wills and wits on their way to their HEA. Zia is strong and independent, which she needed to survive her years as an orphan, and isn’t sure she wants to be involved with such a dominant man as Roman. Roman had my respect, because as much as he took over in Zia’s life, he wasn’t upset by her attitude and patiently dealt with her tantrums. I also liked that she listened to her heart and came around to their mating. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

    Good read. I really am enjoying this Thursday part series of the Syndicate Masters. I am not a fan of openly BDSM. I am more of a closed door type person. In other words at home not in public. But saying that I really did enjoy this. Zia was a feisty something. I love the fact even though her family had been torn apart the sisters were able to find each other. Roman found his mate and wasn’t letting her go. Even wounded he was determine to make her his. Good read.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2023
    This one is full of action with lots of interesting adventure and tension between the couple . I love that she is a thief and she steals from the great Alpha... And he never really figures it out at least not during this story. I always get interested in these stories and find it hard to put them down.
