NADIA
I've spent my life in a cage designed by my father--- at his mercy and whim.
I'm penniless, powerless, and frequently reminded that I'm nothing more than property to barter amongst his powerful friends.
While he schemes, he keeps me locked away, protected, isolated, and hidden from his violent world. Until the eve of my twentieth birthday, when I learn my future holds more misery than my past.
It's the day he's waited for---the day he sells my hand to the highest bidder.
Like any mafia princess, I'm expected to stay silent, submit, and make my family proud.
I have no choice and no voice. With a handshake and a signature, my dreams will die, and a new nightmare will begin.
But that's not how my story ends.
They say a wolf will chew off its foot to escape a trap, and that's precisely what I do when I flee into the arms of my father's greatest enemy.
Dante Serpico is a man of many secrets.
On the surface, he's a wealthy real estate tycoon, respected by politicians and the city's elite. Behind the mask, he's the most dangerous man in New York.
Moments before my dreams die, I rush to his aid.
I have nothing to offer but myself, but something about the look in his eyes and the tight clench of his chiseled jaw tells me he won't say no.
I've made a deal with the devil and leapt from the frying pan into the fire.
I should be terrified, but the man of secrets makes me feel funny things.
He makes me the queen of his world, makes me fall in love, then reveals the biggest secret of all.
How can I forgive his betrayal?
How can I live without him?

This is a MFM dark age gap taboo romance with high heat and shades of dubious consent. Acts of violence are perpetrated on secondary characters- none to the FMC.

Matilda is a Texas girl in love with a Philly boy who loves to write dirty books about older men who fall in love with younger women and fumble their way into a Filthy, Funny, Forever.

She likes her heroes to be successful, sweet, suave, sophisticated and kind--- and then, lose all their composure, turning into bumbling fools when they spot the girl of their dreams.

She likes her heroines to be witty, intelligent, and unshakeable---who could do just as well without a man—until the hero convinces her otherwise.

Matilda lives in Austin, with her husband, three crazy Chihuahuas and two adorable cats. And she spends most of her days writing steamy romance books with no cheating and Happily Ever Afters, not HFN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mafia and ménage
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2023
This ménage romance was even better than I hoped it would be! Dante is so much more than just the head of the Serpico family. He’s layered with a hard exterior that he shows the world but a soft side that he shows to only Nadia. Nadia is the daughter of a lower mafia family hidden away to be a pawn for her father’s ambitions. She wants a marriage to Dante to escape a far worse arranged marriage not realizing that she is what Dante wants.

There were several twists to this story that I didn’t expect and some that I did but that didn’t affect how satisfying the twist was. The way this relationship becomes a ménage is very unique and I loved it. I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say it was written exceptionally well and you are going to LOVE IT!!

The spice of this book was off the charts as Matilda Martel’s books always are! Scenes that feel fresh and are oh so steamy!! We get to experience Nadia changing from a sheltered girl into a daring and awakening young woman. I fanned myself from the heat and swooned from the sweet!! Everything about this book was something to love and should definitely be your next read.

This is book one of the Serpico Family. This is Nadia’s story. She is a mafia princess. Her father is using her as a bargaining chip to get some land back and money for power. He is working to secure a deal with a man that chews up women and leaves them an empty shell of their former selves. Nadia is smart as well as obedient. She reaches out to a powerful man from another family, Dante, to ask if he would consider marrying Nadia. The book is well written but the end felt rushed to completion. Read On!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mafia dark romance with a duplicitous twist
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023
This is a mafia, dark romance, virgin romance, age gap romance, taboo romance, polyamorous romance, arranged marriage, romantic suspense, explicit, and spicy romance. Nadia's father has been planning a arranged marriage for her whether she approves or not. This is how things are down in a italian mafia family. Nadia has been kept out of sight to gain favor among the most important families. Dante Serpico was never on that list even though he is the Don on New York City. The only thing that was a little confusing in the beginning was all the Serpico family names start with D: Diego, Daniel, and Dante. It made it hard for me to differentiate who was who. Throw in the whole twin game that's going on and and it got really confusing at some points.
Eventually I figured it all out. When Nadia commits to a plan she really commits. It was obvious the men she was involved with had true feelings for Nadia they just had to realize that. However, the men jeopardize everything because they've been lying to Nadia since the beginning. It's not a little secret either. Certain scenes are spicy, salacious, and expose some kinks. The most shocking thing for me was Nadia's dad's true plan all along. Good quick mafia novella.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dante, Daniel, and Nadia
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023
Nadia (h) is controlled by her mafia father’s quest to improve the family’s status by arranging a marriage for her to another mafia family. Dante (H) never planned on getting married but if he did it would be Nadia, whom he met two years earlier. She decides to thwart her father’s plans when a chance meeting with Dante sees her sharing with him her interest in him. Dante takes her into his him and Nadia soon finds herself falling for the man she’s intensely attracted to. But Dante has a secret that Nadia’s not sure she can accept, even if he is her only hope against those who would harm her. Ultra hot and steamy mafia age gap MFM quickie with a side of danger, a little bit of kink, and an RH the FMC didn't initially know she was part of.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dante, Daniel and Nadia
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023
👏👏👏 Bravo, Matilda! This was amazing!! This was such an awesome story. I loved how much Dante and Daniel loved, worshipped and obsessed over Nadia. Daniel was especially obsessed with her. I loved them together. Most of the story lead up to their full relationship, but it was still so freaking good. It was also needed. There was so much to unpack between the families, alliances, war, etc. Nadia was a sweetheart. She deserved so much better than her father and grandmother. At least she had her brother. The ending for these three was perfect. I'm excited to read Diego's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dante and Nadia
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023
Nadia has lived in a cage her whole life, it was not because her father loved her, it was to keep her safe for when he was ready to marry her off. He tells her the day before her twentieth birthday that she is to be married to someone she despises, she has to figure a way out. When she meets Dante Serpico it looks like everything is about to change.

Dante has caught glimpses of Nadia over the last two years and knew she would be his. No one would dare come after once she is his. There is something he has to tell her, will she stay once she knows the truth?.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2023
—>>> A dark age gap mafia romance with a good twist or two. “I remember you well, Nadia Corvo. Do you remember me?” He does? The Monster of Manhattan remembers me by name?  “I attended your eighteenth birthday party two years ago, and you were probably the saddest birthday girl I’ve ever seen.” Nadia knows she is a pawn for her father to save face for the Corvo name, but Nadia is willing to use her wiles to avoid a disastrous union…by being bold with the Monster of Manhattan instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power and need
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2023
Duplicity is Nadia and Dante's age gap HEA. Nadia's father is a powerful man and she has spent her life feeling both invisible and essential. As she has value as a tool for more power. Dante is the king of criminals and he always gets what he wants.
This was a dark and sultry coming together of lonely souls. Their lovingly dominant personality and her sensual submissive one. I enjoyed this story and eagerly await the second book.
