Description
What happens when a legacy of ruin mates with a realm of blood? Heir to the notorious Tenebrae Outfit, Dante Maroni has been trained since birth. A silent rebel in the shadows, he has learned to hide his ruthlessness under his charm, his brutality under his suits, and his love for one woman under his silence. Infiltrating the Syndicate responsible for the missing children, Dante discovers information that shatters his reality and forces him to trigger a lethal game. Daughter of the Maroni show more housekeeper, Amara has loved Dante for longer than she's known it. Abducted and tortured at the young age of fifteen, she loses herself, her life, and her home as she knows it. Years after, unknowingly protected, she's found some semblance of normalcy when her world collapses again, forcing her to join the game. Mysteries are unraveled. Secrets are discovered. And their young love is transformed, replaced by a deep intimacy, power, and survival. The reluctant king and inevitable queen play. An empire of death is born. This Emperor is a contemporary dark mafia romance. It contains graphic violence and sexual content, and is therefore intended for mature listeners. Cover Design by Nelly R. show lessTags

Quickie Review (May contain spoilers, please be responsible)
The Emperor is the book that features a couple that was teased in the first two books. This one has such beautiful pining in it. There is something about the heroine pining after the hero that just works for me so well. And I really enjoyed the secret relationship dynamic that comes into play with this one here. I think I loved the first book a bit more than one, but only slightly. I did enjoy the heroine of this book way more though. I just love a softer heroine in a mafia romance. This also had a mix of unique tropes that really came out together in such a intense intriguing way. This is also a story that reading the first two books, will add more dimension to the characters. show more I was so grateful I had read these books in order and closer together. And I am so excited for the next book in the series. Its going to be purely fascinating that is for sure. show less

I'm loving this interwoven story through these books. It adds to the suspense. The characters are great regardless of whether they are primary or secondary.
I still have so many questions. I can't wait to find the answers to them.

Added angst and emotions compared to the two previous books. Sexual assault, rape, trauma, and PTSD are huge part of this one. Lots of tears were expressed while reading this.
Beautiful.
