TITLE: Condemned to Love
AUTHOR: Siobhan Davis
GENRE: Mafia Romance
RELEASE DATE: January 31st, 2021
Bennett Mazzone grew up ignorant of the truth: he is the illegitimate son of the most powerful mafia boss in New York. Until it suited his father to drag him into a world where power, wealth, violence, and cruelty are the only currency.
Celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Sin City should be fun for Sierra Lawson, but events take a deadly turn when she ends up in a private club, surrounded by dangerous men who always get what they want.
And they want her.
Ben can’t believe his ex’s little sister is all grown up, stunningly beautiful, and close to being devoured by some of the most ruthless men he has ever known. The Vegas trip is about strengthening ties, but he won’t allow his associates to ruin her perfection. Although it comes at a high price, saving Sierra is his only choice.
The memory of Ben’s hands on her body is seared into Sierra’s flesh for eternity. She doesn’t regret that night. Not even when she discovers the guy she was crushing on as a teenager is a cold, calculating killer with dark impulses and lethal enemies who want him dead.
Understanding the risks, she walks away from the only man she will ever love, stowing her secrets securely in her heart. Until the truth becomes leverage and Sierra is drawn into a bloody war—a pawn in a vicious game she doesn’t want to play.
As the web of deceit is finally revealed, Ben will stop at nothing to protect Sierra. Even if loving her makes him weak. In a world where women serve a sole purpose, and alliances mean the difference between life and death, can he fight for love and win?
⭐️ 5 "Firefly" Stars ⭐️
Right from the start, I was captivated by Condemned to Love! This mafia romance had me hooked all read long with its thrilling plot. Talk about a real page-turner! Siobhan Davis has a flair with creating dark romance high on surprises and that’s exactly what this book provides.
The romance between Sierra and Bennett is lovely, yet highly sinful. I really enjoyed the development of their love story. Bennett is so protective of his woman. He’s dominant, dark and so alluring! When he meets Sierra, she’s only a young teenager with a crush on him. He’s her sister’s boyfriend, but shares a precious bond with her. That evident connection turns electric and lascivious when they meet by chance in Vegas on Sierra’s twenty-first birthday. Their attraction is intense and with a sudden threat on her life, Ben is ready to do anything to protect her. Sierra might appear as a weak and innocent heroine at first, but she hides her strength so well. She’s determined and a true fighter.
Condemned to Love is a suspenseful story of secrets and deceits brimming with darkness. The twists and shocking revelations are abundant. I can’t reveal much more about the intrigue, because it would give too much away. Just know that this mafia romance is unputdownable and a must read! Siobhan Davis did a terrific job creating great protagonists, steamy scenes and an unpredictable scenario. I’m now dying for the next standalone novels set in this world of corruption and gloom.

SIERRA
Just as I was starting to lose my anger, it returns full force, slapping me in the face. “I don’t want your dirty money!” I hiss, prodding my finger in his chest.
An amused grin spreads across his mouth, and I want to scream. “I run several successful legitimate businesses. I assure you my money is about as dirty as yours.”
He has an answer for everything. It’s infuriating. “You truly have no shame,” I seethe. How dare he invade my privacy like this. He has no right. “Next, you’ll be telling me you know my bra size.”
His eyes lower to my chest, and I scowl, wanting to wrap my arms around myself to deprive him of the view. But I won’t give him the satisfaction of letting him know how much he is getting to me either, so I don’t move a muscle.
“You were definitely a B cup in Vegas, but I’m guessing you’re a C cup now.” He steps a little closer, and though my instinct is to fall back, I stand my ground, refusing to let this asshole intimidate me again. Bending down, he presses his warm mouth to my ear. “I would need to conduct a physical exam to make an accurate assessment.”
I push him away, glaring at him. “You’re a pig.”
His lips pull up at the corners. “I don’t remember you complaining in Vegas. In fact, I distinctly remember you begging me to suck harder on your nipples as I plowed my cock into your greedy pussy.”
“Get out!” I bark, pointing at the door. “Just go.”
He winks, and I invoke every shred of willpower I possess not to lunge at him and gouge out his eyeballs.
“Until tomorrow.” He gives me a curt nod before exiting my kitchen, and I slump back in my chair, relieved he is gone but a little disappointed too.
