My Top 3 Mafia Romance Series – So Far..
If you’re anything like me, there’s nothing quite like a dangerous man, high-stakes tension, and a love story that walks the line between power and passion. Mafia romance is where it’s at — and over the years, I’ve read a lot. So, I thought it was time to share my top 3 mafia romance series (so far!) that absolutely took over my brain, stole my sleep, and left me begging for more. 💀❤️
Whether you’re new to the genre or a seasoned dark romance reader, these series deliver all the brooding anti-heroes, brutal twists, and obsession-fuelled love stories you could want.
Let’s get into it 👇
💀 The Alliance Series by S.J. Tilly
If you’re craving morally grey men who will burn the world for the women they love, this series is your next obsession. Set in a gritty world of underground crime, loyalty, and danger, each book follows a different member of The Alliance — a tight-knit, ruthless group of men with a code of their own.
📖 Book 1: Nero
Nero is cold, calculated, and terrifyingly in control — until she crashes into his world and shatters the rules. This book kicks off the series with an explosive start and sets the tone for the twisted devotion that runs through the group.
📖 Book 2: King
King is the definition of dangerous charm. Protective to a fault and quick to violence, his story is dark, emotional, and addictive. Expect tension, heat, and some serious “I will end anyone who touches you” energy.
📖 Book 3: Dom
Dom’s past is messy, and his present isn’t much cleaner. His story brings a new depth to the series — gritty and heart-wrenching with a hero who’s rough around the edges but fiercely loyal underneath.
📖 Book 4: Hans
Quiet, deadly Hans was the one we all wanted more of — and S.J. Tilly delivered. His book wraps you in tension, obsession, and that delicious slow-burn danger where you know the fallout will be brutal… and worth it.

The Saint Series
by Michelle Heard
This series is for those who love their mafia stories intense, dramatic, and tangled in forbidden romance. The Saint family operates in a world where loyalty is everything and love is as dangerous as a bullet to the chest. Michelle Heard brings power, pain, and passion in every book — with each couple bringing their own beautifully broken dynamic to the table.
📖 Book 1: Merciless Saints
A marriage of convenience with brutal consequences. This one starts the series with all the drama and dangerous chemistry you could want. Think: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, and a brooding alpha who’s not used to hearing the word no.
📖 Book 2: Cruel Saints
Revenge, control, and redemption. This book adds another layer of darkness to the Saint family saga, with a romance that burns slow — then fast — then explodes. Expect mind games, trust issues, and serious mafia heat.
📖 Book 3: Tears of Betrayal
The stakes get higher here — and the heartbreak runs deep. This one dives into betrayal, grief, and the kind of love that’s forged in fire. A deeply emotional ride, but still deliciously dark.
📖 Book 4: Ruthless Saints
He’s cold. She’s chaotic. Together, they’re lethal. This book delivers ruthless obsession, a fierce heroine who won’t be tamed, and a hero who would raze the world to keep her safe — or destroy her if she crosses him.
📖 Book 5: Tears of Salvation
The finale doesn’t hold back. This book ties the series together with pain, passion, and power. Expect explosive secrets, family drama, and a love that survives even the darkest of storms.

The Made Series
by Danielle Lori
This series is iconic in the mafia romance world — each book can be read as a standalone, but together they form a dangerous and delicious universe of forbidden love, morally grey men, and the women who bring them to their knees. Danielle Lori delivers heart-racing tension, mouthy heroines, and ruthless, possessive anti-heroes who make you question everything.
📖 Book 1: The Sweetest Oblivion
She’s the good girl. He’s her sister’s arranged fiancé.
This forbidden romance hits hard. Nico Russo is the kind of mafia boss who doesn’t take no for an answer — and Elena is about to find out just how far she’s willing to go for the wrong man. Expect: slow burn tension, family politics, and all-consuming chemistry.
📖 Book 2: The Maddest Obsession
Christian Allister. That’s it. That’s the post.
He’s chaotic, obsessive, morally grey and utterly unforgettable. This book is a second-chance, hate-to-love masterpiece — featuring an FBI agent with dangerous connections and a heroine with a tragic past. It’s spicy, messy, and unputdownable.
📖 Book 3: The Darkest Temptation
Enemies to lovers. Russian mafia. Kidnapping.
This one gets dark. When Mila gets tangled in her birth father’s world, she finds herself trapped with a broody, ice-cold captor who doesn’t take kindly to her sunshine energy. The push-pull dynamic is addictively toxic — in the best way.
