I asked for Mafia recommendations for my first foray into dark romance and these were the suggestions

The other two books in SJ Tilly's Alliance Series are also really good. Personally, I love the last book Hans the most, though it is more a mafia adjacent romance than actually mafia, but with the same dark romance energy
King was my favorite ā¤ļø or well still is. š¤£
It was a good one! Have you read any of her other series? King and Savannah make an appearance in at least one other book, though I think he is like an easter egg in a few more.
I think it may have been the sin series they showed up. But I know the first sin book came before the alliance, so correct me if Iām wrong š. I think Iāve read all of them except the Love Letter series. š
I think the Love Letters, Mountain Men and Bite series all come after the Alliance one. And the second book in the Love Letters series has King and Savannah, and all the Alliance couples are mentioned at the end of the final Bite book.
Oh the bite ones are her Christmas ones right? Those I also didnāt read. š
Yeah, the Christmas novellas. Which you really don't need to read for the Alliance group, as they are just mentioned. But more so, I'd keep an eye out for her future projects that might have couples from both series
Will do š«”š¬
the water gun emoji paired with this list is sending me š¤£


Heehee glad it's made you laugh!
