4.26 AVERAGE


This is by far one of the best I have read in a really long time! What an absolutely incredible writer! I hung on her every word and “watched” the story unfold because of her beautiful way with words! Cannot recommend enough!!!

Most likely the best trilogy I’ve ever read!
I was completely sucked in. I read it in paperback and then again in the audiobook version!

So good! Dark and delicious.

Like, how have I not read this series before? The mystery is beyond me, but one thing’s for sure—I’m hooked now. Grayson? Don’t mind if I do. Time to get lost in his world and never look back. Addicted? Absolutely.

Eve + Dante

This book is so good! The twists and turns just kept coming and it was so much more than I ever could’ve expected it to be. Eve and Dante are two vastly different characters who fit so seemingly together. This book also has some amazing side characters like Joseph, Anna, Manuel, and Rick. There’s also a lot of yummy spice throughout the entire book.

⭐️: 4/5

I don’t even know where to start—The Santiago Trilogy blew me away! Catherine Wiltcher created a dark, dangerous, and addictive world that had me hooked from the first page. This trilogy is everything I want in a mafia romance: intensity, passion, twists, and unforgettable characters.

Why I Loved It:
- Dante Santiago: The ultimate anti-hero. Dante is brutal, commanding, and unapologetically ruthless, but his love for Eve adds this vulnerable, deeply emotional side that melted my heart. He’s everything a mafia kingpin should be—terrifying and irresistible.
- Eve Miller: Eve is the perfect balance to Dante’s darkness. She’s strong, compassionate, and doesn’t back down from him. Watching her hold her own in Dante’s world was so satisfying. Together, they’re fiery, raw, and unstoppable.
- The Plot: This series is packed with twists and turns. It’s more than just a love story—it’s a battle for survival, redemption, and justice. Every chapter had me on edge, and the stakes only got higher with each book.
- Emotion and Depth: While it’s dark and gritty, there’s so much emotion woven into the story. Dante and Eve’s relationship is passionate but also layered with pain, healing, and trust.
- Supporting Characters: Joseph Grayson, Rick, Roman—each character brings something unique to the story. I loved how they added depth and intrigue, and I can’t wait to dive into their stories!
- The Writing: Catherine’s writing is stunning. It’s poetic, intense, and paints such vivid pictures. I felt like I was right there, living every moment with these characters.

Favorite Moments:
- The banter and chemistry between Dante and Eve—it’s electric!
- The flashbacks to Dante and Joseph’s history in Afghanistan.
- The final showdown in Hearts on Fire—chaotic, emotional, and absolutely epic.
- The epilogue, which wrapped up their story beautifully but left me wanting more of this world.

Final Thoughts:
The Santiago Trilogy is hands-down one of the best mafia romances I’ve ever read. It’s dark and emotional but also full of heart and hope. Catherine Wiltcher created a masterpiece that will stay with me forever. If you love anti-heroes, fierce heroines, and stories that make your pulse race, this trilogy is a must-read.

Dante and Eve will forever be my king and queen of dark romance.

An epic captivating, dark story that grabs ahold of you from the start. Dante and Eve will take you for a wild ride. Their story is consuming, pulling you in, and leaving you on edge till the very end. The push and pull, the give and take, the twists and turns, they all keep coming throughout the story. It's so much more than I imagined or thought it could be. I absolutely loved reading this trilogy. It did not disappoint. I definitely recommend reading.

This is Eve and Dante's story, a dark erotic suspense romance with great characters and a story that will hook you from the start. Their chemistry is sizzling hot; they were made for each other without a doubt. The steamy scenes are pretty hot. The plot line is full of mystery and suspense, making you guess. The audiobook, narrated by JF Harding and Sarah Puckett, did an excellent job bringing the characters and their emotions to life. Harding's deep, raspy voice is perfect for Santiago's character, conveying his power. Puckett's narration of Avery's character is equally compelling; she was able to capture her characters' emotions.

Loved this trilogy! Will definitely continue the other books. 

AHHH BRILLIANT! I don’t know why it took me so long to finish this but this book was amazing, the writing phenomenal. OBSESSED with Dante and Eve and I’m so excited to read about Joseph and Anna omg. One of my favourite mafia romances, highly recommend!

Intense Passion

I’m very picky about trilogies and I rarely find ones that I like. This trilogy is one of the exceptions. I enjoyed reading about Dante and Eve. Their passion was so intense. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
