Davide and Stefania together.
I liked the book, but Stefania seemed confused. What she wanted to do at home, before the arranged marriage. Then after she gets married, she does a 360 degrees turnaround. She’s very mad at her 4 brothers, but treats her new husband with much more understanding. Must be the amazing fun she has with her new husband. He definitely knows how to please her. An interesting story, I am sure you will enjoy.

Stephania and Davide!
Stephania has tried to forge her own path when it comes to her mafia family however that is coming to end due to the marriage her family has arranged. Even though it is not the life she would have chosen she agrees out of loyalty to her family never realizing that her fiancé is the same man she enjoyed a steamy encounter with the night before.Davide is a powerful man within his mafia family, and he wasn’t pleased that he was being forced into marriage. When he finds out that it is Stephania he begins to see the benefits both when it comes to his family and the attraction between them.Stephania’s feisty personality is the ideal match for the protector in Davide and their story combines both adventure and romance.

Good bones but so disappointing...
I love BB Hammel's books but this one was very disappointing. The FMC IS A BRAT! After reading all the Rossi brothers stories, it hurt to read how their sister is constantly complaining about them. These are men who stepped up to raise her when their own parents pretty much checked out. Though she is a mafia princess she was still allowed to go to college, have a job, and not be directly involved in the family business. Yet instead of appreciating it, her solution was to pull back from the family. Then constantly complains about her brothers who by the way worked fiercelessly while also waging a war against the Russian Bratva and the Irish mob simultaneously. They fought to keep her safe and sheltered and all she can do is complain and complain. She never wanted an active role in her own family"s business... but is very appreciative of being part of her in-laws family business 🤔 Makes no sense. Complains about her brothers not calling her but doesn't make an effort to call them either. Expresses that she misses her sisters in-law and complains that they haven't call her to check on her... yet she makes no effort to call them. Her "woe, is me" pity party is annoying. She made the choice to separate from her family, not the other way around. Even more infuriating is that she showed more understanding towards her husband than towards her brothers. She even showed more understanding and patience to her detached and slightly psychopath sister-in-law than her own brothers.Then there's the underdeveloped MMC story. This was the most disappointing part. This man's childhood trauma was terrifying, yet instead of developing present time scenes that show how broken he is and how deep his trauma affected the MMC , the author instead chooses to do a quick recap. After many years the MMC gets a phone call from the man responsible for his trauma and injuries then the scene cuts off to a time jump where he is calmly sitting in his father's office and he briefly recalls what happened. Key word BRIEFLY... She could've developed this in so many ways. Each way leading to a deeper connection with this character. A real look into his pain and suffering, his way of thinking, etc.. But no, absolutely no development of the character. Then there's the fact that he is "allegedly" ruthless and nobody dares to go against him, yet his most trusted guy suddenly goes rogue?? And after years of being an enforcer he all of the sudden can't think straight just cuz he cares for his wife? Naw! It makes no sense. Unlike the Rossi series this book falls so short...The spice was good until he started verbally degrading the FMC... to each its own... But that was a big turn off for me too. Could've done without the name calling.In the end all of a sudden both sides decided to cool of for months because of the cops.... Really? The mafia doesn't care about the cops.... So disappointing.

Davide and Stefania
When two mafia families are joined by marriage, may no !an break apart!! That is the theme and mantra here. Stefania was doing her part in the family to finally agree to this business arrangement. But she didn't expect to fall in love with her husband and have his family's approval!! Of course, Stefania and Davide have all the chemistry in the world and their sexy time is off the charts spicy and keeps getting better!!!Davide is a trained killer for his family. That's all he has known,but once he accepts his wife's role in his life, things only get better and better! Things are still on the rise, war still pending, unanswered questions linger, but they find a routine and enjoy life with each other.

4 - better than o expected
Stefania wasn't as bratty as I thought she'd be. She grew up in the story which was nice to see, being the only girl with 4 brothers she had an attitude or guards up. It was nice to see her character develop and mature. I liked Davide, very loyal to family and passionate about his job/role as an enforcer. Good story to end the saga and to start with a new familia.

Bonded forever..
This is the Ruthless Reign series. 3rd. of 5 by B B Hamel. Its ends but seems to me is open for a following books?Davide Bianco is our MMC and the Capo of an a crime syndicate in the Midwest.Hes a dark haired, enormous and muscular with gloriously veiny forearms. And handsome off the scale!Stefania Rossi is our beautiful and independent MFC. Her brother, Renzo, is the “Don” of The Famiglia.They meet and have a “moment” in her brother Carlo’s night club after spilling drinks on each other.They have an arranged marriage that neither of them want. They’re agreeing to it for each of their Famiglia betterment.Hate, anger, irritation and aggravation is how their marriage starts…but you need to read this awesome book to see how they each change along with their feelings. I really liked how each character is adult in their feelings and willing to see the others, then change with reason.There’s sabotage, death, betrayals and yet love found and bonds made forever…

Love unexpectedly
A forced marriage between Stefania's and Davide was to join two families and strengthen both families.Nothing unusual about Mafia marriage its just the norm.I have loved all the twists in this story and as all mafia lots of guns and violence.The whole series is excellent and so easy to read.
