It started with a simple offer...and it ended with me on my knees.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back.

Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life.

It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius. The man is a menace mantled with power, and it doesn't take us long to go at each other's throats.

But when he starts demanding more of me, I realize I'm just a lost stray in his world, and my odds of surviving are slim to none.

Alexius and his brothers control the moves of every pawn in this game.

And that's me. I'm the pawn.

The Dark Sovereign is a dark mafia romance intended for mature listeners.

Alexius is the first born son to the Dark Sovereign family. His father is currently the leader, but he is dying from an incurable cancer. Soon, it will be in control of Alexius. But his father insisted on one thing before he takes over. He must be married in two weeks.

Alexis hates this. He is to rule this family, and does not need or want a wife. All he knows are women who are eager to be with him as a means to an end. He doesn't want that. He doesn't believe in love either, although he has seen that with his parents.

Leandra is working in a diner in a rough part of Chicago. To say she is dirt poor is saying something. Having recently losing her abusive mother, she only seeks something better. When she gets to work that morning the other server gets really worked up by seeing the massive man sitting in a back booth drinking coffee and having breakfast. His eyes on Leandra. Knowing he is a part of the Dark Sovereign family has them both worried. Suddenly the bell over the door announces a new customer. But when Leandra looks, it is non other than Alexius and he is stalking towards her. He says her name and hands her an envelope and tells her she has 24 hours to respond, then he leaves.

This family is so dark. From running private casinos and private sex clubs and basically owning everyone in the city, they are much feared for a reason. Never cross the family!

Now Leandra has no clue what the letter meant, but assumes it's to work in one of the sex clubs. She wants no part of it. Then calls the number to tell them she won't do it, then hangs up. She picks up around her small apartment and gets ready for bed. Pulling out a dry package of noodles and starts to eat. Suddenly someone is pounding on her door. And there is Alexius. Demanding entrance.

This story is so good, but very dark. The mafia family is not one to be messed with. But the hate and mistrust between these two begins to grow less. Suddenly Alexius wants to protect his new wife, and doesn't like or trust his feelings.

Then everything goes from bad to worse. Alexius and his brothers need to fix things and find out who has threatened the family. Such a cliffhanger. So ready for book 2. Enjoy

I enjoyed this story. Leandra and Alexis are good characters with good chemistry. Leandra surfers from a terrible childhood. I like the way Alexis helps her deal with it. Leandra is strong. There is a mystery in the plot, and steamy scenes .

Leandra has such a sad story and it's delightful to see her find her match in Alexius. Its written less dark and more straight up fast and furious, with a side story that is heating up. One of the greatest things to read is the unbreakable bond between the brothers, even though they all seem so different. I do want to read more about what businesses make up the Dark Sovereign and the traditions (perhaps more comes in the next books?). I love this author and the writing is so smooth. I'm going to the next one.

Interesting book

Alexius is definitely an alphahole. I like the pacing of this book. It’s a little bit of a slow build around the main characters with a murder mystery mixed in. I’m still learning about Leandra. I will be reading the rest of the series and seeing her continue to blossom into a strong woman. That hopefully knocks her man on his butt, helps him back up, and makes him stronger. This is definitely not a vanilla story. Nice & spicy.

5★ Brilliant start of the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 24, 2022

Verified Purchase

Alexius is the oldest out of four brothers and an heir to the Dark Sovereign Empire. Brutal, ruthless and relentless. In order to fully get his birthright, he’s forced by his dying father to get married. To have a wife by his side, one he never wanted, needed or cared to have, but one that will be a constant reminder to him of what is apparently necessary, as long as his father is alive. His choice fell on Leandra, a girl with a rough past, no family, no friends or home. A girl that no one will notice when she disappears. The two of them couldn’t be more different, starting from their background, upbringing, to the way of life. And yet, what in the beginning looked like simply deal with no interaction between them, becomes sth different, unexpected, intense. Their relationship went from icy cold to burning heat, rising levels of steam and smut. Together they are unpredictable, kinky, sexy and hot af, crossing grey lines and their own boundaries. Brothers and their way of living, sexual freedom and sharing habit only adding up the spice to already delicious mix. And when emotions and feeling, caring and need to protect and cherish add to it, things get complicated. All that with mafia, fighting for power and murders in the background.
Alexius is the first book in the Dark Sovereign Series. It’s a duet, Alexius and Leandra’s story will continue in His Wife (release date: 26th July 2022), which I need like now to get on with. It’s dark mafia romance, rough and gritty, suspenseful and angst read, flawlessly written with intriguing plot, story like no other and complex characters - all those kept me captivated from the start to finish. It’s a highly recommended book and must read for any mafia fan who likes a bit more spice and going out of their comfort zone.

Will Alexius give up Leanndra once his dad dies can he watch her walk away and will she want to what more will the killer do can't wait to readbthe next book.

I absolutely loved this story about Leandra and Alexius. She is just a small town girl, working a small town job. He is from an infamous Mafia family in need of a wife. He offers he a deal she cannot refuse; marry him until his sick father draws his last breath then she will become a wealthy divorcee, with the protection of the Family for life. How can she refuse? 🔥read.

Loved this book. Alexius, dark, ruthless, powerful is to take over the family when his father dies. To do this he has to take a wife, something he really doesn’t want or need. His brothers are just as dark and ruthless as he is, they are handsome, rich and captivating, they don’t care, they do just as they like no one can touch them. This is a very consuming hot read. Just started reading book 2. Brilliant.
