Mafia Series
These are some of my favorite mafia series!
RuNyx always has great plot twists. This series contains different tropes throughout the series! The first one is The Predator which is an enemies to lovers romance that has all the angst!
Dark Verse Series by RuNyx (Start with The Predator)
A heroine whose is almost a equal match for the menacing hero. Two fighters who have blood on their hands, but the heroine's past is coming back to hurt her. He's mafia, he's cold and unfeeling, but she stirs something in him he's never felt before....
Blackridge Prep Series by A.R. Breck (Start with Twisted Dares)
This series is very different from other mafia romances, and it's one of the things I love about it! This is a best friends to lovers / fated mate romance. This series is very dark, the men are lethal, and we all love a good fight to the death ring...
Raze And Reap - Tillie Cole (Scarred Souls Series Book 1 and 2)
This book is action packed and an adrenaline rush. It has some of my favorite tropes including rock star romance, mafia romance, second chance romance, and why choose romance. It's a series and does end on a cliff hanger. Check your trigger warning...
Poison Roses - Jaymin Eve and Tate James
Stand Alones / Can be read as a standalone
These are mafia romances that are standalones, or that are a part of a series, but feature one couple and can be read as a standalone.
This is a Peter Pan retelling where Hook ends up with the girl. He's still the villain, but he has a dirty mouth and knows how to bring on some spice! Dark romance book boyfriend material for sure <3
Hooked: Emily McIntire
An enemies to lovers arranged marriage romance.
Sparrow by L.J. Shen
This book is great for beginners into dark romance or mafia romances. Marriage of convivence / arranged marriages is one of my go to tropes as well as mafia romances. This book is a perfect example of a goo mafia romance, and has one hell of a possessive protective husband.
