This was a fun book. I loved the chemistry between Sandro and Bianca. I love how they have been in love over the years but finally admitted it to each other. What got me was I have not read the other books in the series. While this can be read as a standalone it was a bit confusing with all the different people in it and I felt lost. Also I felt it was heavy on the mafia business and not enough on the love story.
This was my first book in the series—am I going to read the others? Hell yes. All I want now is to be a mob wife and live that dangerously glamorous life.
Scorned Obsession had me hooked from the start. The mutual obsession between Bianca and Sandro? Absolutely addictive. But let’s talk about the elephant in the room—9-year age gap, and she’s been in love with him since she was five. I know some will find this problematic, and I totally get it. However, I didn’t. Sandro only fell for her as an adult, and she was the one who instigated things. He felt guilt and tried to stay away, which only made their connection stronger. To me, that’s just layers of love—growing from childhood admiration to an all-consuming passion. And this book executed it beautifully.
It kept me on edge the entire time—will they, won’t they?—and just when I thought I knew where it was going, BAM, the plot flipped again. The drama? Chef’s kiss. If you love mafia romance with high stakes, dark obsession, and a story that keeps you guessing, you need to read this.
This was a gifted free copy by the author, the words and rating are entirely my own.

Victoria Paige delivers another incredible mafia romance, and boy, is it a wild, explosive, slow-burn, spicy, obsessive ride.
As Bianca De Lucci and Sandro Rossi have always had a special connection. In fact, Bianca has been obsessed with Sandro since the age of five. But Sandro has always felt he'd never be good enough for the youngest mafia adjacent De Lucci. Especially with the secrets he holds.
Yet, when an incident pulls Bianca from the periphery of mafia life to the centre, and she's forced to marry a Rossi to save her brother's life. Sandro ensures it's him she weds.
So now Bianca is a mafia wife, something she never dreamed of being and Sandro is a made man. Something he never planned on especially as it means he now has a target on his back.
But these two will do anything to step up and protect their families and those they love and ensure the De Lucci and Rossi names are protected.
However, someone is pulling strings and trying to start a war between the two families and it's up to Bianca and Sandro to figure out who that is.
And with just enough backstory to show how strong Bianca and Sandro's connection is. An FMC who is loyal, fierce and brave and an MMC whose intensity and touch-her-and-die vibes gave me all the feels. This was a story I completely devoured, and I loved how powerful and incredible Sandro and Bianca were together. I would happily recommend this story and the series to all.
