Publisher's summary

A new stand-alone dark mafia romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, Siobhan Davis.

Natalia Mazzone has grown up knowing she is promised to a made man. As the only daughter of one of New York’s most powerful mafia dons, she knows she can’t refuse. It’s her duty, and she would never dishonor her beloved father.

But the man she’s promised to is a monster. And there is nothing but torture, pain, and heartache lying in wait.

So, she grabs happiness when she finds it - in the somewhat reluctant arms of Leonardo Messina.

Leo is her brother’s best friend. A soldato for the Mazzone famiglia. A man with strong ambition and an even stronger resolve. He won’t allow them to give in to temptation, so Natalia is forced to love him from afar.

Until one forbidden night changes everything, and she readily hands Leo the key to her heart.

Leo risked everything for the one woman he can never have. He doesn’t regret it. It saved Natalia from a life of hell, but his actions set her on a different course.

One that doesn’t involve him.

Years have passed, and his feelings remain the same. Yet he keeps his distance, dedicating himself to his new role as underboss to Bennett Mazzone, while the love of his life is married to another man.

Until a twist of fate puts Natalia in his path again, and this time, he is powerless to resist.

This is a full-length stand-alone novel with no cliff-hanger and an HEA. For listeners who enjoy brother's best friend, second chance, dark mafia, forbidden romance.

Mazzone Mafia ♥️

Audio Review:
Forbidden to Love (Mazzone Mafia, Book 2) brings a unforgettable story fruitful with angst, darkness and a world of mafia. The writing style is captivating and compelling. Characters are entertaining. Heartbreak that is hard to forget. I loved this story so much and hated the heartwretching times as tear's drop like raindrops fall. This author wrote a addictive story drenched with words that flow to the very end. I absolutely loved the ending.

Michael Gallagher, Sarah Puckett duet narration is utterly profound. Sarah Puckett is a favorite narrator of mine and this performance exceeded my expectations. Her unmarred performance brought this heartbreaking story to reality. Her portrayal of Natalia was a high caliber performance, her inflection is smooth and her tone adjusts with Natalia's emotions. Michael Gallagher was the perfect choice to portray the Leo and the male characters. His inflection gives off an aura of mafia.

4 STARS

I am not a huge fan of books that go from past to present but I really liked this one. Having met both characters in the first book it made me even less patient waiting to get to part 2. I felt bad for Nat and Leo especially seeing firsthand how hard it was for them to stay apart when growing up so close together. Many ups and downs will keep your emotions on a roller coaster ride.
Narration was duet which is my favorite!

Loved this book so much!!!

I absolutely loved hearing this book come to life with these narrators! They did a fabulous job and had me listening until the very end. This story grabbed me from the beginning, which is a specialty of this author!!! From the first chapter I was hooked!! Nat and Leo's love story didn't go the way we all dream of as little girls. Oh no this one was raw, twisted, forbidden from the start but so pure it hurt at times. Coming from a mafia family there are obligations and business deals that take place that leaves Nat being married to the person who she isn't completely in love with and it will grab your heart and twist it at how unfair it all feels. This was another story that is added to my list of favorites from Siobhan and I just know it won't be the last one. I can't wait to see what else this author's brilliant mind comes up for us to read!!!

Hot ,intense, Mafia story

Siobhan Davis Forbidden to Love, left me breathless. This action packed mafia story had me on the edge of my seat.
She captured all the raw emotions between Natalia and Leo and their forbidden love. Natalia has always loved Leo, her brother's best friend, but it is forbidden. Their torment, their love for each other, is forever.
Natalia is an innocent 17 year old girl, is resigned to her fate, to marry her father's choice. As the story develops, Natalia transforms into the strong, independent woman, who makes her own choices
Twists and turns, secrets, who to trust? There is a traitor in their midst.
The suspense, the brutality, the self doubts, the fears, loss , and the stolen moments of love with Leo makes this story so exceptional.
Sarah Puckett and Michael Gallagher narration is perfection. They bring depth to each character. I can feel each moment of emotion, anguish, anger, torment, throughout the story. Thank you for bringing thIs story to life.

OH THE FEELS!!!!!

✨A TOP LISTEN OF 2022✨

There is so much I could say about this story! I took 2 FULL PAGES of notes! Basically Natalia is in love with Leo, who is best friends with her brother, and very low on the mafia scale. She is basically a mafia princess so she has been promised to another man that is an heir to a territory. And Leo is in love with her too..... but they can not be together. There are so many things that happen over a span of 13 or 14 years that keeps them apart before they both finally give in and go after what they want. But it is not without risk, and they both know this!

There is so much that happens, that my heart was breaking over and over again. And there was a time when I felt sorry for Leo... and another where I was like "he made his bed" ..... but then he turned all super swoony!!! And I couldn't help but love him for her! The man that she ends up marrying had lost his wife in a car crash and needed a wife to take care of his twin boys. The bond that they had was so fantastic! It was really heart warming to read about! I just loved everything about this book! I don't think that I have one bad thing to say about it! And the narration really brought the characters to life! Sarah and Michael nailed it with these characters!

Another great addition to the Series!

This is the second book in the Mazzone Mafia series, a Dark Mafia Romance. Natalia and Leo's forbidden romance is captivating! The storyline is breathtakingly well written, intricate, and intense, filled with secrets, action, danger, and unpredictable twists and turns. Natalia is beautiful, strong, smart, and determined. Leo is handsome, protective, and enigmatic. They are perfect together. This is an excellent second chance to love. Their story is tragic, and beautiful. The world building is intricate and enthralling. The supporting characters are intriguing. Sarah Puckett and Michael Gallagher did an outstanding job with the narration. If you like Dark Mafia Romance, this series is definitely for you. I enjoyed it, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Looking forward to listening to Scared to Love, the next book in the series. Siobhan Davis never disappoints. #TheFlock

A Dark Mafia Second Chance Forbidden Romance

Forbidden To Love by Siobhan Davis is a dark mafia romance that I listened on on audio narrated by Michael Gallagher and Sarah Puckett. This is the second book in the Mazzone Mafia series and can be read as a standalone.

All I can say is WOW! Siobhan, Michael, and Sarah need to team up more often! I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't help but binge the audiobook in a day! I could feel every emotion that Natalia and Leo were feeling in this book! I loved that Michael and Sarah did the audiobook in a duet version. It brought the story to life beautifully.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Scared To Love to be released on audio so I can get Alesso and Serena's story.

I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, mafia romances, brother's best friend romance, second chance romance, or forbidden romances.

Forbidden to Love

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. We're there points I wanted to strangle the heroine for being stupid? Yes. We're there points I wanted to strangle our Hero for being an idiot? Yes. We're there points that were so identifiable that they moved me to tears? Also yes. Finally, was their love so epic, romantic, and enduring that it made my little heart swoon? Definitely Yes. Great book with all of the feels and good narration. You can't go wrong.
