Thank you for reading tho) Language: English Words: 37,666 Chapters: 38/? Comments: 11 Kudos: 117 Bookmarks: 13 Hits: 4,073 You were fine living on your own in the comfy space of your own home. Though what happens if a certain curious little puppet invades it before dragging you to his own world for his own reasons. Elena Lombardi from The Evolution Of Sin trilogy is here and finally gets her own story. She is a powerful criminal lawyer and now has to help mafia capo Dante Salvatore get out of trouble…well at least some of it…defending him. Elena loathes this devious and dark man. Dante knows this but can’t help to provoke his new spitfire attorney. Can she clear him on this charge without killing him herself? If you haven’t read the previous trilogy no worries, you are able to start with this duet. I wanted to give Elena a clean slate going into this so I too have not read the previous trilogy where she first appeared. As this is a duet it ends on a major cliffhanger. I loved Dante and Elena. Their chemistry and banter are a perfect combination. What a rush of intrigue, action and suspense that will have you counting down the days until book two. I’ve fallen Hard for this Capo!!! A Must Read Mafia Romance! Told in dual POV

Alessio goes after his target and lo! It's the son of the only target he missed, Giulio's daddy and my Daddy, Fausto. And when the devil himself decides that he wants her, she’s helpless to resist him, even if it means giving herself over to him, soul and body. He might think that he is able to control him, however this king is going to soon learn who is really the boss. ALESSIO I live in the shadows, the assassin they never see coming. I'm the best, but Giulio is my weakness. I need him in ways I can't begin to explain. I loved loved and loved Elena, the beautiful,smart , strong and absolutely breathtaking woman. She suffered so much throughout her life, some of the worst by her own blood members, that it's a freaking miracle how she still has love and kindness in her heart. I have read Mafia before and it is always intense with torture and illegal dealings but I wasn't aware of how hot that gets when you add this into their chemistry.Mila had me nervou though. Overly obstinate, spitfire just to be spitfire heroines are not my jam- and I just knew that Gia would be MORE than a handful as a heroine. And Enzo- well he’s the villain. Sure, I had some empathy for him in book 2 as he was tortured and humliated, but his enemies were my dearest couple, and Enzo had been very naughty trying to take on my daddy Fausto. But there was a real spark of humanity that mattered- Mila intentionally giving us a glimpse into him to warm us to him as a leading man. But still, could I root for and adore this man? Especially when the romantic element in this story was shaping up to be a bit darker than the one before? tropes: enemies to lovers/hate to love, captor/captive/kidnapping, age gap, italian mafia, revenge plot, possessive hero, strong heroine

I can safely say I'm in my dark mafia romance era, and Mila Finelli's Mafia Target was perfect for that! This book was a great mixture of mystery, action, and steamy romance. Watching Alessio and Giulio fall for each other in such an unconventional way was absolutely perfect! This is my first Mila Finelli read, and it's a standalone MM mafia romance with a HEA and two gorgeous, dangerous Italian men! Clown has said that NSFW works are allowed if properly tagged. If you don't like it, don't read it. Simply as that.***This Mafia romance is about a larger than life, over confident, sexy AF Mafia Capo Dante Salvatore. He's in trouble with the law and has hired his good friend Cosima's sister as one of his lawyers. Elena Lomardi lives and breathes her job in the court room. After going through a heart breaking divorce Elena has turned to "Ice". She definitely finds Dante attractive but gives him a very cool shoulder and a hard time. The suspense and intrigue was constant, the angst penetrating, the fire in Dante's eyes scalding, just everything made this book unstoppable! I could not put it down!! In my world, loyalty is everything. I shouldn’t have let her get close. I shouldn’t have let her get under my skin.
