## Description

Salvatore Benedetti is a predator. Five years ago, my father lost the war he started against the Benedetti Mafia family. And like any good enemy, they demanded a sacrifice. That sacrifice? Me. I was sixteen. Too young to do anything but obey. Five years locked away in a convent, waiting for the day my monster would come to collect. Today is that day. When I see him again, tall, ruthless, sin carved into every perfect line of his body, I realize vengeance has a face, and it’s beautiful. He wants obedience. I crave retribution. But every time he touches me, the lines between hate and hunger blur until I can’t tell which one will destroy me first. He’s the enemy I swore to ruin. The man I can’t resist. And the devil who might just drag me to hell with him. Author's Note: Salvatore begins the five-book Benedetti Mafia World, a series of five standalone, steamy romances that grow darker and more dangerous with each story. For mature readers only.

Review: This Would Be 5 Stars But Not Yet - This is by far the most refreshing mafia romance I’ve ever read. It’s not too dark, the eroticism is there, the romance is there, the family feud is there, the interactions among the characters are very good, and the structure of words and sentences that she crafted are just very good. I love the way the author develops its plot and how she brings us smoothly to understand what’s happening, what happened, and what’s about to happen. It’s very good foreshadowing and not just shoving the words to the readers. Readers are being asked to think and also guess the more we read. It’s what I think a product of an experienced and a very well educated author. They said, to be a good author, you have to be a good reader and read many books so you can write well. This is this level. Because many mafia romance books, I found that the writings are very basic and many times are not good at words craftsmanship. But why not 5 stars??? From the first word I read on this book, I’ve been hooked up. Can’t put it down at all. It gets intense and emotional. However, the last 2 chapter before the epilogue, things are too downgraded. I mean, it’s like the anti climax is not satisfying. I love the drama when the male character is almost dead, but I don’t think after that, I can still get the story hooked up to me as amazing as the previous chapters. I also think the way The main characters reveal their love as in saying “I love you” is too basic, too casual. I just don’t find the sacred of this “love”. I see that through their care and make love and etc... they do show the love. But I just don’t get the feeling, that moment that I’ve been waiting when they declare their love in words. It seems to me just like another conversation of the day. I also don’t feel like the solution to the story, this whole big mafia plot is adequate. Yes, I know the author wants to slip her own message about life as how she sees it. But, I don’t feel that amazing feeling when she ended the story that way. I mean, she made a very good plot of a mafia. Very serious situation. Then, suddenly providing such solution as if the male character is just another rich guy who can just let go everything and live in a country side. It just doesn’t touch me at all as a reader. It doesn’t satiate my thirst of a great HEA. Yes, it’s HEA but I just don’t get the feeling. It’s what I can call “mediocre ending but stunning beginning”. Which you see how downhill is that? It should be a stunning ending despite whatever the beginning is!
Review: A Great "Softer" Captivity Story - When I first started to see the reviews of friends popping up on my feed for 'Salvatore', I knew it would be right up my alley. A forced contractual relationship, Mafia families and bitter rivalries...What's not to love? I couldn't wait to dive right in! Lucia is sixteen years-old and innocent, when her life is changed forever. After suffering through a humiliating ordeal, she is forced to sign a contract to save the lives of her family members. In five years, she will become the property of Salvatore Benedetti, the son of a rival mob boss. Her imprisonment is meant to send a message and to quell any lingering resistance. Her life for theirs. When the time comes for Salvatore to claim Lucia, she is determined to rebel in any way possible. She knows that she cannot change her fate, but she doesn't plan to make it easy for them either. Lucia has no intention of playing the role of a submissive captive. Salvatore loathes his father, Franco, but repeatedly cowers before him. Franco rules with an iron fist and everyone who knows what's good for them falls in line. As his next-in-line, Salvatore is consistently tested. Lucia is one such trial. Salvatore is appalled by the barbaric agreement between the two families, but he must go along with it or risk appearing weak. To further complicate matters, he is torn between his attraction to Lucia and his opposition to what the contract signifies. As this story progresses, it becomes clear that there are many power plays going on. Salvatore's younger brother resents his station in life. Lucia's sister and cousin have plans to seek vengeance and rescue Lucia from her captivity. Salvatore must prove his ruthlessness to his father. Everyone seems to have an agenda. All in all, it was a great story with "darkish" themes. I enjoyed it quite a bit and found myself captivated by Lucia and Salvatore's relationship. My only complaint is that I felt like the author never really committed to the "darkness" of this story. It was like she was too scared to take the plunge. Instead, the story takes on a "nice" captivity vibe. You know, the type of story where the captives really end up wanting every act that is "forced" upon them. It had a softer, more mainstream, feel to it than the dark, captivity story I expected. For me, the story loses credibility when the "slave" is aroused by their captor and fighting their attraction right from the start. I just have a hard time buying it and also believing that they were as terrified as they'd have me believe. I can't reconcile the two. Despite my gripes, I still liked this story a lot. It is a great choice if you're looking for a "softer" captivity-themed romance. Aside from one or two very brief scenes, it isn't particularly dark. It is a standalone as well, but I am hopeful that the author will give some of the other characters their own books soon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is worth every penny!
*by M***Y on August 7, 2016*

When I saw that Ms. Knight came out with a dark romance book focusing around the Mafia, I was conflicted on whether or not I should buy it. I love Mafia stores, but I'm not a dark romance story lover. Dark romances are just too scary for me. After awhile, I decided to purchase the book because the worst thing that could happen would be I didn't finish reading it. Oh my gosh!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY that I bought this book. It was unbelievably hot. The story plot was really good with a couple of twists thrown in to keep readers on their toes. The story was also very believable. It seemed like Ms. Knight did plenty of research on the Mafia to make it 100% accurate, instead of just watching The Godfather and writing the story after that. My favorite part about this story was Salvatore. The way that Ms. Knight described him, he sounded like the sexiest man alive. But more importantly, he was so sweet! After being forced to take Lucia DeMarco as his property, instead of humiliating her or forcing her to be his sex slave, he treated her with gentleness and kindness. It almost made me wish that I was in her place...almost. ;-) Then whenever Slavatore was around Lucia's little niece, Effie, I thought my heart was going to melt at how cute the two were together. I was planning on reading this book slowly, but once I started, I couldn't put it down! It was that good! I REALLY hope that Ms. Knight comes out with a sequel about Dominic. I'm dying to know what's going to happen with him after everything that was revealed in this story. Great job, Ms. Knight!
