Lucien: A Dark Mafia Romance (The Marchesi Family Book 1) Kindle Edition
I shouldn’t have gone to Lucien’s office.
Once I looked into his eyes, I couldn’t leave.

Beg.
Obey.
I couldn’t help myself.
One taste, and I craved more.
Lucien vowed to protect me from his enemies…But who’s going to protect my heart from him?
This MM mafia romance is the first book in the Marchesi Family series.

Once equipped with the needed fuel, she can happily sit for hours pounding away at her laptop. Silvia typically leaves home disguised as a suburban stay-at-home-mom, and other coffee shop patrons tend to ask her hilarious questions like "Do you write children's books?" She loves watching the looks on their faces when they learn what she's actually up to.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023So these two were pretty dysfunctional, I mean Lucian basically kidnapped Peter, but they also burned with chemistry. Despite Peter’s initial fear of Lucien he couldn’t fight his overwhelming attraction to Lucien, and even though Lucien tried to keep his emotions out of it was clear from the start his need for Peter was just as emotional as it was sexual. I did like the background story as well, finding out who the mole was and what side Peter’s cousin would land at the end of this. I actually wouldn’t mind a story on Jimmy tbh cause I know there are stories for Lucian’s brother and cousin. I have read some of the spin-offs before this from the Vigilance and Theriot so it was nice to see where those worlds started. I would have liked a little more prologue and to see Lucian’s father fully welcome Peter into the family but maybe that will be touched on later in the series if in just a background way. Either way I enjoyed this a lot.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2020The romance between family man and dominant Lucien and wrong-place, wrong-time submissive Peter brings the darkness level of this story to that point just before sunrise. Sure they kill people, but those people needed killing.
The storyline is a simple one, but well told, and the characters are engaging and interesting. On a darkness scale of Spencer Spears to K A Merikan, Lucien falls in the middle, in my opinion, and is an enjoyable escape read.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2024Aww mobsters, they will always own my heart and Lucien is no different.
Peter and Lucien, our MC’s, meet in the craziest way possible but their journey to accepting who they are is absolutely amazing.
Oh and the sex isn’t that bad either, actually this book is steaming hot.
I loved the way that even from the very beginning Lucien could just tell that Peter needed someone to be in complete control of him while Peter realized that Lucien needed someone to keep his human side from disappearing from doing his job.
Oh and there are ponies. Everyone loves ponies except for Lucien it seems.
Warning though if you don’t care for the dom/sub genre you might want to check out another book because this is definitely in that category.
Trigger warnings include:
Dominating a partner
Violence
Drug use
Murder
Kidnapping
Mention of sex work
I personally can’t wait to start the next book in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024Don't get me wrong great characters and world is built with enough to sustain a series but lacked depth. Hoping book 2 gives more.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2020This turned out to be a real good book. I'll get that out of the way first. But...
Dub-con. For sure, dub-con. It turned into a surprisingly sweet romance. It could be argued that Peter developed Stockholm syndrome but I don't think so. His thought process is pretty clear and Lucien and Peter share some pretty gooey romantic moments. Lucien gave Peter choices; yes Peter was scared because of what he knew about lucien, but Lucien didn't threaten him. He was very intimidating though and because of that even though Peter was totally turned on any consent given in the start of their relationship is dubious at best. I genuinely felt their emotions though, and I don't think it took long to be a firm "go" from peter.
Dark-lite. I kinda get that. It wasn't the dark gritty mafia story some people want, but it does have dark notes. Dark lite is actually a pretty perfect description.
Overall I actually really liked this and I don't like many Silvia violet stories. The ones I do enjoy though, I really enjoy and This was one of them.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2021I devoured this romance of innocent Peter Kelly and mafia boss Lucien Marchesi. We raced to find out the mole in his organization who was revealing Lucien’s plans to takedown his rival fellow mob boss Damian Ricci. As the romance progressed so did Peter and Lucien’s shared passion for one another. In Peter, Lucien finds his safe place to truly be himself while ruling a mafia empire. In Lucien, Peter finds strength and bravery where he previously thought he had none due to the love they share. This was a great read and I plan to finish the series with his brother Angelo and cousin Devil!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2020I do a ton of reading, I can't help it I love reading as much as I love writing if not more. The difference being you don't need courage to enjoy losing yourself within someone else's imagination. Speaking of courage this book shows you how brave a man who doesn't see himself as having even an ounce of courage can be. Don't think I'm talking about the bravery to not run from the chance at love without an open promise of a secured future but no we all take that chance at one time or another.I am talking about a scared guy who summons the courage he didn't think he had to help save the man he tried not to love. But like we all must do they both needed to accept that they couldn't control their heart once it has become involved. This is a truly beautiful story of love, change and in the end acceptance. I'm looking forward to not only the next installment but in others written by Silvia Violet. Wow me again please.💫🤓💫

5.0 out of 5 stars Benchmark of MM mafia romance books
This was one of the first MM mafia romance books I had ever read and it remains one of my favourites. One I come back to again and again. I love the character of Lucien - the quintessential badass mob boss who’s overly protective of the man he’s found who’s his perfect match. And Peter as a scared innocent who always runs from trouble but discovers that love can give you the courage to take a stand. And lots and lots of heat. Perfection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mafia at best
Dark and possessive love with blood, scratches and gun fire, siblings full of smirks and an innocent submissive boy in Need of control and caring.
- XGReviewed in Mexico on June 18, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Dark love....WOW!
With all the intensity that marks Ms Violet's books, this first book in The Marchesi Family series is simply WOW! This story about obsession and dominance that led to love. I enjoyed Lucien's reactions to his conflicting emotions and fears and Peter's not so quiet acceptance of Lucien. Their relationship in the middle of a complex plot of betrayal and intrigue kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. I can't wait for the next books on this series. So dark...
