Title: Machiavellian (Gangsters of New York, Book 1)
Author: Bella Di Corte
Genre: Mafia Romance
Release Date: May 8, 2020
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.
Machiavellian is the first of three books set in the savage world of the Gangsters of New York series.
I hungered to be seen.
There were three things I knew about Capo Macchiavello:
He was gorgeous.
He was reclusive.
He was considered one of New York’s most savage animals.
And he wanted me as his wife. A simple arrangement – you do for me, I do for you. Nothing owed, no expectations. Except for one: never leave.
Life was never that simple, though. By the age of twenty-one, I was parentless, jobless, and homeless, and I had come to learn the hard way that nothing was ever free. Even kindness comes with strings.
Capo might’ve been the only man to ever see me, but I had made a vow to myself: I would never owe anyone anything. Most of all, the man I called boss.
I killed to stay hidden.
Mariposa Flores thought she owed nothing to no one, but she owed everything…to me, the ghost the world had once called The Machiavellian Prince of New York.

Bella Di Corte has been writing romance for seven years, even longer if you count the stories in her head that were never written down, but she didn’t realize how much she enjoyed writing alphas until recently. Tough guys who walk the line between irredeemable and savable, and the strong women who force them to feel, inspire her to keep putting words to the page.
Apart from writing, Bella loves to spend time with her husband, daughter, and family. She also loves to read, listen to music, cook meals that were passed down to her, and take photographs. She mostly takes pictures of her family (when they let her) and her three crazy dogs.
Bella grew up in New Orleans, a place she considers a creative playground.

My Review
5 Stars
Machiavellian By Bella Di Corte is the First book in the Gangsters of New York Series. This is the story of Mariposa Flores and Capo Macchiavello.
Mariposa has not had a easy time of it at all. Mariposa has had to fight for everything that she has had which sadly isn't much. Mariposa learned the hard way from a foster home nothing is free nor do you want to be indebted to anyone. Mariposa had lived in a bad apartment but she even lost that when her 'landlord' tried to take rent out in flesh. Mariposa happens to be dreaming of food while looking into a restaurant this leads to her to spot Capo who is the owner of the restaurant. But, we learn that Capo is so much more than that. Capo is working his way to revenge those that tried to take him down. This leads him to live a mysterious reclusive life but one that is still powerful. Capo ends up offering Mariposa a deal that she can't turn away but he keeps secrets from her that have life changing affects. This is the first book from this author is my understand. I feel this author made a 'home run' with this book. It has the hot alpha male that is possessives of his women, but also has the strong independent women who doesn't give in to easily. There is a on going mystery that you can't wait to learn more about. In addition she gave us the much desire Epilogue that always puts a 'Cherry on Top' of a great read. This book does have a few chapters of Capo's point of view which I always love getting the leading man's point of view...so more the better I say. I would recommend this book and this author.
