Blood Money

Marchesi Loan Sharks, Book 1

By: Silvia Violet

Narrated by: Michael Dean

Liam

I was drowning in debt and my sister needed help, so I made a terrible choice. I borrowed money from the infamous Marchesi family, knowing I had no way to pay them back.

Did I think I could evade them?

Did I think I’d win the lottery?

No, I didn’t think at all. I just acted.

Now, a killer is at my door, a man known for his ruthlessness, his persistence, and the way he can bring a man to his knees–for business or pleasure. I’ve got to find a way to pay him back, and the only thing I own free and clear is my body.

Valentino

My job is extracting money from delinquent clients. If they can’t pay with cash, they pay with pain.

The next client on my list is Liam, but when I show up at his house ready to take his money or break him, I find a desperate young man who intrigues me so much I consider other options.

When he offers himself as payment, I long to torment him in ways we’ll both enjoy, but clients are off limits, and only fools break Marchesi family rules.

I might just let him make a fool of me.

Blood money is a spicy MM mafia romance that will have you reaching for ice and wondering just how far you'd go for a morally gray man.

Best Silvia Violet Book Yet!

Loved this spinoff of the Marchesi Series! Original plot, likable characters, chemistry aplenty and perfect narration. Highly recommend!

O.M.Mafia!

Sylvia! 🫢 Finally, another author has made me fall in love with a Mafia family. The Marchesi's are battling it out with the Vitale's. Whew! The heat was intense. I will read through this series. And Michael is consistently strong.

Freaking Loved It!

So excited it came out on audio right after I read it first. Thank you so much! I am a HUGE fan of this author and love love her possessive MC's :-) Wonderful narration.

loan shark romance

Awesome spin off from the Marchesi family stories. you can count on Silvia Violet to write an amazing story. Michael Dean does a great job bringing this story and all of the characters to life. He can definitely bring a different personality to each character. now we patiently wait for the next book.

A bit of fun but pacing felt very off

It's a decent enough story. I found the scene jumping very jarring. It was written like a TV show almost but in audio form it didn't feel very good. The scenes were cut too suddenly quite a few times.
My other major criticism is the lack of depth of the setting. We are kinda just thrown into things and are told to focus on these two people except their whole world has a conspiracy going on but it doesn't really get dealt with on the page. we are just supposed to accept it'll be dealt with so the drama just isn't exciting.
Lastly... Liam is kinda just a bad character. His actions don't make a lot of sense, and him thinking he's responsible for everything instead of standard survivor's guilt also didn't make sense. I didn't particularly like him as a character. He was bland and whiny.
