Vices and Vows: A Dark Mafia Romance Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 984 ratings

Nova Romano is an anomaly.
She’s playing a role she didn’t choose, living a life that was never hers to begin with.
A tapestry of deceit and carefully interwoven lies protect her,
But when everything unravels, the truth comes with a heavy price tag.
She’ll have to marry a man who despises women,
Or sell her soul to a monster like me.
When Nova realizes I’ll sacrifice everyone she loves to keep her,
She will have no choice but to give in.
I’ll drip-feed her my brand of crazy until she’s as twisted as I am.
That’s what happens when an unstable mind falls for a reckless heart.
And when she runs, I’ll be ready.
There is no place she can go that I won’t follow.
Even the depths of hell itself.

Author note: If you like your romance tied up with neat little bows, this won't be the book for you. Vice Moretti is an anti-hero at best, a villain at his worst, and a monster for the parts in between. This love story is raw and toxic and, like the man himself, a little unhinged. Please proceed with caution.

Triggers: This book contains dark elements that some readers may find uncomfortable, including offensive language, graphic violence, sexual situations, and often a combination of all three at once. All readers need to be over the age of 18 and have a love for all things morally grey to enjoy the ride.

    Wow!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    This is the 3rd book I’ve read from this author. I didn’t realize she wrote one of my favorite series Death in Bloom! I actually stumbled across this book recommendation scrolling on Instagram the other day. I’m so glad I downloaded and read!!

    Vice and Nova!! Ahh this book was a good read!! From the very beginning you were hooked and I love the tone it set for the rest of the story. The plot and twists were wow!! I would have never guessed!! The chemistry between these 2 characters were 🔥 and they matched each other’s energy! It does have some darker tones so proceed with caution and as always, check your triggers! I do hope we see more of Vice and Nova in the future🩶!

    I read a series last week that put me in the worst book hangover. I’ve been shift for a book that’s going to pull me out. This book did the trick. When this book started, I was rooting for Vigo, the heroine’s father. I had a storyline imagined in my head so cue my disappointment when the opposite happened. I really wanted a redemption for Vigo and to find out he doesn’t deserve it is disappointing.

    I love the strong female character. In some ways I wanted her to fight with Vice more but they have a good enough banter and chemistry. Nova is strong, caring, and what an angel for saving all those women. I especially loved it and probably my favorite scene is when she stabbed Vice. That scene made me smile.

    Vice is everything every girl imagined their hero to be.

    This book was well written with an engaging plot that had you rooting for Nova the (MFC ) who is a tough and strong women who can not only keep up in a male dominated world of mobsters, but also gives them a run for their money. At times, Vice (MMC) can be very endearing, and other times, he will piss you off with his logic and poor decisions. All in all, he is one great alphahole who is the perfect match for Nova. This book has some major spice, so check those triggers. Don't take my word for it, download the book, and you will not regret the sleep, You're going to lose staying up to find out what happens next...

    Great plot with interesting twists and turns for sure. For me personally, it was just too dark. I’ve read plenty of dark mafia romances but this one was a bit too much for my taste.
    This author writes well though and, again, excellent and complicated plot twists.

    Another Candice Wright book for the win!

    What can I say she knocked it out the park again with these new characters. Nova, Vice and this book, I don't even know where to start. The author builds a world with substance and intrigue.

    Nova and Vice are both part of this way but have had different struggles based on where they fall in the families. They have to make moves and use and protect each other. They both have secrets some larger than others and it was interesting to see how those played out

    This books has twist turns, craziness and heat.....but oh was it a great read and journey. And the side characters only added to it so hopefully this won't be the last we see of them

    I'm not going to lie. This is a dark book, but I enjoyed it. The storyline flows, and the characters are freaking crazy. If you like dark and anti-heros, give it a try.

    Reviewed in Canada on January 31, 2024
    I love this author, and her doing a Mafia romance is chef's 💋😘. The plot is unique, you see several characters differently throughout, the story has plenty of twists and is just the right amount of spice. I loved both main character, Vice is the tatted anti-hero and Nova is a ballsy and determined heroine. The ending kind of threw me (don't worry, a great hea) and this is a definite 5 stars but it just...well threw me. Fantastic read for fans of this author and genre alike.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Vice Freaking Moretti
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2024
    Those are the only words you need to describe this book and make you want to dive into it.

    Forget about red flags, the man is all black after 10 years in prison. He’s the psycho you didn’t know you needed in your life. Unhinged (and not just a little), possessive, remorseless (if that’s not a word I’m making it one), Vice is the whole package of wrongness and the newest addition to my book boyfriends.

    And Nova ? She’s the Queen Vice didn’t know he needed in his life. Strong, passionate, protective and crazy enough to match and stand up to Vice, she knows when to bend and when to stay firm. She may not start the fight (well ok actually she totally would) but she will definitely put an end to it.

    With vibes from both Sugar and Coerce, Vices and Vows was exactly what I needed with amazing characters, enough action and steam to please and twists that left me reeling. Go ahead, pick it up and give it a chance you won’t regret it. Welcome to the Family !

    Oh my! I'm gobsmacked! Vice was a walking red flag, and I LOVED him! Nova was such a bad A$$, and she was amazing.
    This is definitely one of the best Mafia reads I've had, and I couldn't put it down!
    Candice NAILED it. What an amazing story she created with Vice and Nova.
    I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could!
    I'll definitely be reading more from this author.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 3, 2024
    I love the dark and twisted world this author has wrote in love in bloom duet and this book was on the same wave length. Vice and nova have an intricate and twisted timeliness between them. Their families at war, hidden secrets and lies. I love how when the story starts to unfold and the truths come out, there are so many more plot twists waiting in the wings to have you gasping in shock that you didn't expect. Great dark romance, I loved their chemistry together, how they played off each other and to the strengths they shared. Vice's men were great side characters and brought the story to life.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The sleeping arrangement…oh my goodness
    Reviewed in Australia on February 4, 2024
    I gave this 4 stars but it was a 5 star until it wasn’t. No spoilers but it felt like the aftermath just didn’t fit.

    Overall, Nova was a kickass FMC and Vice was an obsessed MMC. The sleeping arrangements, oh my lord! Their connection was electric and the just well written.

    I will definitely look at other books by this author as I was hooked and devoured this book in one sitting.
