[Sissy's Romance Book Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

His Wicked Obsession by KL Donn is book 9 in the Mafia Made Series. This is the story of Donato Cardarelli and Bella Marino. This is a interconnecting series..so it does add to your enjoyment if you have read the previous books. Donato has wanted Bella from the start but has had to wait for his time to make her his. But now that danger has found Bella... Donato can not longer standby. Love Ms. Donn's writing

This is the ninth book in the series. They can be read as stand alone but are better read in order. This book is just over 100 pages. This book is a short mafia romance. Bella is happy that her twin is finally truly happy and getting every thing she deserves. Bella is married but loves a different man. She is sure her husband knows and just wants her to be happy. Things are not going well with Bella though. She has been hearing voices. Then things take a turn when her husband tries to get her help. Now the only person that can help her is the man she loves. But will he be able to find her and get to her? This book was a great read. I was excited to read about Bella after reading her twin’s story. I enjoyed this book but I did feel it was a bit rushed is certain spots. I was surprised for the twist near the end. I haven’t read the entire series but they are on my TBR list. I have read about half of them and enjoyed all of them. I love these characters. I look forward to reading more books by KL Donn in the future.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

This is the final book in the Mafia Made Series. This is the story of Donato Cardearelli and Bella Marino. This series is a series of interconnecting books but I guess you could read it without reading this other book. I have read most of them but not all of them but this book was one of my favorites. Donato has always wanted Bella. He knows deep down inside of him that she was made to be his. But she is also a girl looking for the happily ever after even if she is miserable to accomplish it. However she has not been taken. Someone has her and if it is the last thing Donato every does he is going to find her and she is never leaving again. I was hooked on this book from the very beginning. I could not put it down. You do not want to miss this series or this final book. I have loved every one of them that I have read and this one.....was just something extra special.

I started Donato and Bella's story with a tear in my eye. This is the last of the Mafia Made, at least for the original couples. A second gen will be coming but it was so hard to dive into this book, knowing its going to be the end, for now. Bella might have seemed like the calmer twin, having suffered less trauma as a child. But that time has ended, now tormented by voices, she fears she is irreversibly broken. Donato has bided his time, up to now. Now that she is in danger, he will stop at nothing to start their lives together. Bella is so sweet, yet fearful to take a chance on forever with Donato. Fortunately, he knows how to slay every dragon standing in the way of their happy ever after. Such a lovely conclusion for this beloved series; can't wait to see what mischief their kids get up to!

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 9th book in this series, and this is Donato and Bella’s story. Donato is in love with a married women, who was always meant to be his, but he is biding his time until the stars align. Bella suffered less trauma as a child, but she has been left tormented by voices. When Bella is in danger, Donato has had enough of waiting, and is there for her.
This is a well written action packed, emotional roller coaster, with danger, suspense, intrigue, romance, family, and love, which leads to an entertaining, tragic, unpredictable, twisted, steamy and heartwarming page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

[Jennifer Pierson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Donato is deeply in love with a married woman, but the timing isn't right obviously so he suffers while waiting on the moment she can be his. Bella is a girl who wants a happily ever after, but so far that's not what's happening in her life. Things take a turn for them when she's kidnapped, and Donato is going to rescue her & finally make her his once he does. This story packed an intense punch with the twists coming in hot, the action of rescuing Bella, angst for days because Bella's journey hasn't been the easiest, and super hot sexy levels when our hero finally rescues his girl. I absolutely LOVE this series, and CANNOT WAIT for more so I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

[Kari Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Bella found herself in a difficult situation it wasn’t her husband she reached out to but Donato and she couldn’t have made a better choice.

When Donato learns that Bella needs him there is nothing he won’t do to rescue and claim her as his own. Now that he has her back, he is going to find out who is trying to hurt her so that they can finally begin the life they are destined to have.

Donato is protective, possessive and determined to show Bella that she is all he will ever need.

[Ash J · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really good book. I've been waiting for Bella's story since I read Bria's book. Donato has to go rescue Bella when she was being held captive. There were some shocks in this book as well. I do wish more happened to the people responsible for Bella, Bria, and all the girls who were sent to the church when they were little. This book had a tad bit of Ddlg trope but it didn't over-ride the story at all. Great book and I can't wait to read this whole series again! I received a review copy of this book and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

[Kerry Boulanger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Donato Cardarelli is the last Cardarelli brother to find the woman that completes him. Loving a married woman, Bella Marino, is not the easiest for Donato, but love her, he does. When Bella needs his help, Donato will race to be the man she needs. Like all the Mafia Made books by KL Donn, this book is violent, steamy, tearful, dramatic and delivers a happily-ever-after. I devoured this book in a few hours because I just couldn't put it down. The characters are strong, family-oriented crime families that will suck you in and have you invested in their lives. I can't wait for the next generation.

[Sally · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is Donato and Bella's story and it will keep you hooked.
The chemistry between Donato and Bella is off the charts but she is a married woman, but Donato knows that she is his.
When Bella is in danger she knows that Donato is the only one that can help her.
Can Donato find out who is after Bella and keep her safe.
So many twists and turns and even more suspense but also a love that can't be denied.
Loved the ending.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an intense, action-packed novella.

I felt for Bella. Hearing voices. Thinking she was going crazy.

In a relationship where she knew there would be no love!

So glad that Donato never, ever gave up his obsession!

The strong family Bella lives in now makes my heart warm! They're all amazing!

I enjoyed His Wicked Obsession!

[Gladys · Rating 5 out of 5]

Donato and Bella's romance was so intense. I thought this couple's story was sinfully intriguing. It really grabbed my attention and held tight to my heart. Danger, action, drama, emotion, desire and twists kept me laser focused and up past my bedtime to finish this one. An absolutely amazing read and couple.

[Jacqueline Ellison · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic end to this amazing series. We finally get the reason why Bella and Brie were sold to the church and all the torment they have each gone through. Bella and Donato finally get their HEA ending that was a long time coming. The betrayal is unimaginable but Donato and his family protect what's theirs.

Donato and Bella are a match made in heaven but the hell they will go through to make it is awe inspiring. He has always wanted her but she was taken. When danger comes to her, he will stop at nothing to make her safe. Excellent read.

[Carolyn Spence · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an intense book and I LOVED it. Donato is all in and Bella wants to be. What a cool, insidious problem that Bella had, I never would have guessed that. Always a pleasure to read one of Ms. Donn's books, they take me away!

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

[Rhonda · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story held me in it's gripe from start to finish! Donato has wanted Bella for awhile now but he knows he needs to bid his time. It's intense and dangerous but when the danger comes for Bella, he will no longer hold back. I totally loved this story!

[Latifa Morrisette · Rating 5 out of 5]

His Wicked Obsession is book nine in the Mafia Made series and is Donato and Bella's story. This story had my heart hurting for Bella and wanting to take vengeance for her. This series has definitely been an emotional one and I can't wait for what's next.

[Mindy McCray · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good but

This book was good but, I don't know something was missing. I can't put my finger on it but definitely not as good as the other books. Plus for the price, it was really lacking. Read it or not. Shirley

Good book by this author. Fast read..she's married to someone else and needs help. He comes to get her and make her his. These two are good together. Good read

[Ashley Carr, LSoR · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved Donato and Bella’s story!! My heart absolutely broke for Bella. Donato found himself in a difficult situation, he is in love with another man’s wife. When Bella found herself in a difficult situation, it wasn’t her husband she reached out to, it was Donato. She couldn’t have made a better choice. What will Donato do when he finds out who is trying to hurt Bella?

Okay...... just give me a minute..... wipes tears from my face and takes a big swig of wine! What?! Did you expect anything else from me after finishing a book by this author?! Oh yeah, motherfucker! That better?!
Seriously though, I need a minute to get my emotions under control. If you have been reading this series from the beginning, you will know why. These guys live hard and love even harder and God help anyone who threatens those dear to them. This one hit hard though. Tears were shed and words shouted at my kindle with in the first few chapters. And when THAT moment hit?! Fuck! I did not see that coming! Yeah, you will need to read it because NO SPOILERS!!
This is an epic, heart wrenching read and absolute genius!! I just wish I could give more than five stars!!

So unmemorable, that few days after finishing it I saw it marked as "read" and I couldn't remember what it was about.
