Suffer in Silence by Kelsey Clayton

5.0

Outstanding mafia romance that's both intense and tantalizing. "Suffer in Silence" serves as the first installment of the Malvagio Mafia Duet, delivering a dark romance that satisfies all my mafia storytelling desires: it's filled with unexpected twists, suspense, action, and gritty moments, accompanied by a generous helping of emotional turmoil and sizzling passion. The narrative is further enriched by its diverse and intriguing cast of characters. However, the cliffhanger ending leaves readers hanging. I immediately went and got book 2.

Meet Saxon Forbes, the eldest daughter of her family and a pre-med student known for her virtuous nature. All she desires for her 21st birthday is a simple family dinner. But when her best friend Nessa persuades her to visit Pulse, Saxon's life takes an unexpected turn as she locks eyes with Kage Malvagio, instantly captivated by him. Unaware of Kage's true identity and occupation, Saxon is, nevertheless, on his radar due to her connection to her grandfather, Silas Kingston.

Following her beloved grandfather's passing, Saxon finds herself unwittingly entangled in the midst of a mafia and bratva conflict, and the circumstances leading to her predicament are even more unsettling.

What unfolds is the tale of Kage's relentless pursuit of vengeance and his unexpected emotions for Saxon, who proves herself capable of standing her ground against the enigmatic and emotionally distant Don.

This fast-paced narrative will engage you right from the start and leave you breathless as you turn the final page. I'm eager for answers and can't wait to immerse myself in "Symphony."
