Nico: Belles & Mobsters, Book Two

Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.5Spice level 🌶🌶🌶🌶 although the spicy scenes were a bit repetitive✅Single parent✅Heroine is a widow✅Arranged Marriage✅Age Gap H/40 h/26✅Jealous and possessive hero and heroine✅Secrets and lies✅F^rced br33ding✅No cheating or sharing✅Ow drama- minor. Hero does not reciprocate.Bianca’s husband stole money from the mob when he was sick. After he died Nico came to settle the debt . She either had to have the 3 million dollars that she owed , marry him , or be unalived. I know a lot of people don’t like the main characters to be widows because they feel it’s the hero competing with the dead. I have to say I didn’t care for Bianca’s late husband or the things he did that left her in this position. Stick with this story and you won’t be sorry. Everything is not what it seems in the beginning.I read the first book in this series a while back and loved it. In case you want to check it out it was called Luciano by Eva Winners. It was 5 stars as well. I loved how possessive he was as well. These can be read as stand-alones but I totally recommend reading this one as well because it’s a good read.I loved the chemistry between the couple. The need they had for one another’s touch just jumped off of the page. You could tell Nico was completely obsessed with Bianca.The covers in this whole series are to d^e for! I am usually not a cover wh0re because what matters most is what is on the inside but when they are this gorgeous I notice.Some of the writing was repetitive where more than one character would say the same thing. I can’t explain it but it bugged me. Not enough to make me stop reading because I loved the story. The side characters were fantastic and I couldn’t stop reading . I loved this couple together.This book has the best wedding reception I’ve ever read in a book. I laughed so hard at the chaos and dysfunction in this group.The things they bickered and bantered about were priceless. This isn’t really a spoiler since you know it was an arranged marriage book. You will want to highlight so much of that wedding scene you won’t know what hit you!The one lines the couple say to one another in this book are as romantic as they come. The twin girls are adorable and I loved Nico’s relationship with them. In fact I wish there had been more interaction between him and the twins.Nico was so possessive and protective . Yes he lied and he manipulated but he was a lovable character and he always had the intentions of protecting Bianca even when he was manipulating her.Bianca was a sweet and fierce heroine who was handed the short straw in life and everyone toon advantage of her including Nico. I really didn’t like her friend Angie at all . Her late husband left her with a mess of his making . All she wanted was to be left alone to raise her girls. She grew leaps and bounds as a character and developed a backbone by the end of the story.This series is shaping up to be a favorite of mine. It’s not perfect but the story is worth the small imperfections. I can’t wait to dive into the next one which is Cassio’s story.*** Re-read was audiobook ** added feedbackSince this was my favorite Eva Winners book I wanted to listen to the audio and I loved it even more than when I read the book. Nico is still my favorite of the series. The narrators in this audio did an amazing job but especially the male narrator. His voice was so smooth and just plain hot. I will definitely be looking out for his narration in the future. He’s now my favorite male narrator!Some of my favorite tropes were in this book including the βrεεding and single parent tropes. Don’t miss this audiobook because it’s truly the best one I’ve heard so far.

This second books story and characters were great. I wanted to give it 5 stars like the first book, but couldnt because for some reason, this book seems to have gone to press without an editor. I was sorely disappointed by the numerous errors that not only an editor would have picked up, but even a basic spell check program would have caught. There were sooo many wrong words ex. thought/though that totally screwed up the flow while reading, having to stop and manually in your head put the right words in a sentence. Even during sex scenes. It was so totally disappointing after the first book was pretty clean.

At first I didn't want to commit to the book, but after the first 35,40 pages I was committed. I enjoyed the read and will move on to the next. XD

Nico and BiancaIt begin when William Bianca husband and friend take a bag of money that belong to Nico.

Good 2nd book but I was kinda hoping for Lucca’s story 🤪. But Nico didn’t disappoint he’s alpha, jealous, possessive what could possibly go wrong 😂🤣. Now to our leading lady 🙄 Bianca Bianca Bianca she was missing all the clues and it was driving me crazy 😛 but her character did grow on me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ReviewAnother fantastic and amazingly written Mafia masterpiece by Eva Winners. Nico is book two of the Belles & Mobsters series and has become one of my absolute favorite Mafia Series reads. These books are full of Men who are dark, brooding, possessive, dangerous and powerful but know just how to turn up the heat and aren’t afraid to prove their worth, loyalty and how they love with everything they are.This is Nico and Bianca’s story and it’s phenomenal. Bianca struggles at first with the loss of her first love and husband but knows she has to keep going for her twin girls. Then fate, or skilled planning, has her bumping into Nico Morrelli and the attraction was instant but she knew what kinda man he was so she did her best to avoid him. Nico was having non of it, he had a plan and revenge to get, Bianca would be his one way or another. They both faced obstacles at every turn as the secrets and lies they both kept and told were revealed and sometimes the truths really do hurt. But their is one thing that never dwindles even when the anger and betrayal is heavy and that’s their fierce passion and need for one another.This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and thoroughly entertained. These two are a match to be reckoned with. As are all the Belles & Mobster matches!! I can not wait for Cassio and Alexei’s books!! If you’ve read Eva’s previous books you must read this. And if not and you love Alpha Male possessive men and fierce women then I highly recommend this book full of passion, betrayals, lies, corruption and secrets!! It’s an absolute must read!!

POV: First / DualGenre: Age Gap / Forced Marriage / Blackmail / Revenge / Single Parent / Widow𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨 is the second book in Eva Winners 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘴 & 𝘔𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 series. Bianca is a widow and single mother to twin girls who is trying her best to keep her life above water. However things take an unexpected turn for her when Mobster, Nico Morelli, comes into her life. Before he died Bianca’s husband stole money from Nico and now he’s come to collect.Nico needs revenge against an enemy and Bianca is the perfect way to get it, he secretly knows the identity of her biological father, a father who has always wanted a daughter, and her deceased husband's past transgression is the perfect blackmail tool to get her to marry him, and in doing so he can exact his revenge.But Nico doesn’t just want Bianca for revenge, he craves and needs her. He tells himself it’s all a plan, but he doesn’t realise he’s getting caught between his need for revenge and his feelings for his new wife.𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨 is a captivating age gap, marriage of convenience mafia romance. It has chemistry, secrets, twists, turns and action. A fantastic addition to the 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘴 & 𝘔𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 series.

This is great because not only has this Belle already been married but she has kids already which tends to be unusual for Mafia style romance books.Nico definitely takes all that in his stride and has me hooked as he tries to work through his feelings at the same time as getting his revenge.Both of them have secrets but the journey is done so well I was hooked from start to finish and has left me desperate for the next in the series as just loving them so so much.This is going to definitely be on the recommend readers its not to dark either so suitable for a lot of romance readers that may otherwise stay way from Mafia or Dark Romance.

I really enjoyed this story of Bianca and Nico. These mafia men are all very possessive and the description in the books makes you want to swoon. I am loving this series and cannot wait to read Casio’s story next. This is not your typical mafia book, lots of twists and you have to try and remember all the mafia men.

I can't with this book! I'm obsessed with this series so far!This is the second book I've read from Eva Winners and sher already owns my heart! I can't wait to read more.Bianca and Nico were everything to me, I love them so much. Also Hannah & Matteo are so cute! I hope we get a book for them too.

I love how this storyline unfolded so many twist, this was definitely dramatic and suspenseful and filled with betrayal, action, violence, intrigue, vengeance, chemistry and passion. Amazing characters and an enthralling read.
