Mafia Romance: In the underbelly, lies great romance

Who says the romance genre is all about cute mushy love stories with no cliffhanger or thrill? Hello, have you ever picked up a Mafia Romance? Oh yeah, stories about the infamous drug lords and arms dealers with sexy steamy romance in the foreground. In fact, don’t be surprised to find these bad boys to be the protagonists in the narrative. Honestly, I rather enjoy them the most. I absolutely love it when the author has a perfect heart-touching explanation for how our hero turned out to be this way, so much so that we actually end up rooting for someone we would probably never even want to see in real life. Believe me, more often than not, it’s just as confusing for our heroine.

Since you are here, you either already love the trope or are looking to experiment. And either way, I am happy to help. I have compiled my all-time favorite Mafia Romance novels that kept me on the edge of the seat till the very end. I don’t doubt, you will end up loving them just as much. So, scroll on and escape to the bliss.
