Do you love Mafia romance?? Do you need spice, betrayal, undercover agents, and a bomb storyline… then this book is for you! Gia is a bad*ss fmc who is deep in the mafioso. Joshua is a Don with trust issues. The plot is immaculate, the spice is

The Accardi Twins are here! And oh my goodness are they oh so delicious! I have a particularly ravenous fervor when it comes to Siobhan Davis’ mafia world. Gritty, adrenaline packed, edge of your seat entertaining, yet somehow resplendently romantic and swoony. I just can’t get enough of her mafia! And the Accardi Twins are everything I’ve come to adore from this world. They are edgy and alpha, sexy and domineering, but also deliciously dreamy and loving. I am wildly obsessed with both Joshua and Caleb! Cold King and Cruel King are addictive page turners- rife with mesmerizing characters, gripping mafia intrigue and action, titillating spice, and heart wrenching emotions.
Cold King gives us Joshua and Gia’s story. And if you love well-researched mafia stories with teeth, this one is the pinnacle. Siobhan beautifully marries a complex and layered story of deception and revenge. Siobahn loves a tough, bad-a heroine, and Gia is as fierce, dangerous, and courageous as they come, and I loved a heroine who saves the day as a mafia spy. A true equal, she can stand toe to toe with not one Accardi twin but the entire mafia world. This story is masterfully woven, with a mafia-suspense and danger-heavy twisting storyline that juxtaposes to a sweet but spicy romance.
I adored Joshua, but oh my did Caleb steal my heart is Cruel King. The brash and more reckless twin turns out to be the most epically swoony mafia book boyfriend in this win-her-back/prove his love story with family friend Elisa. I actually adore the softer mafia heroines, and Elisa is more gentle and vulnerable than the fierce Gia, but I love the power she finds as she finds her confidence and demands the right treatment. The opposites attract, she falls first but he falls harder magic of this one OWNED me. And holy hotness, what a delicious v-card losing journey. Meow. And the full circle moments that resolve the mafia elements carried over from the first book were fabulously entertaining.
Both books must be read in order since there is a broader story arc, so a true duet, even though each focuses on a different couple. Fast paced, sexy, and packed with tense and magnetic character chemistry, The Accardi Twins duet is yet another yummy addiction from the always brilliant Siobahn Davis. I cannot wait for more from this world!

wow
Totally mind blown with the end ! Joshua good lord that man knows how to hate but definitely knows how to get down between the sheets. This book was hard to put down with secrets , action and betrayal. Also someone from his past gets a nice tongue lashing. Absolutely loved Gia and her no nonsense personality. These two were a pleasure to follow along in the book and how this girl managed to get the cold king to fall for her. This book was amazing!

Dnf @ 10%, I used to love this authors books when I read them a couple years ago. I don’t know if the writing has changed or my preferences have changed, but I found this flowed very awkwardly. The dialogue was so formal. It also referenced an age gap between the characters, but then stated that the FMC was 22, but I thought the MMC was only 23, so I was a bit confused as to how old the mmc actually was.

Joshua Joshua Joshua, man, oh man, do I love him! Ughhh the wait was so so so worth it! The one thing I absolutely love about Siobahn's books is when she throws in some cross-over characters or cameos. It's my absolute favorite! Hands down, this is a 5 star read!! Gia is ugh the best to ! I loved that we were able to see both of them grow up!

I love being back in the Mazzone mafia world, and Cold King of New York is a ride! The crazy twists in this first book of the Accardi Twins duet had me invested until I hit that very last page. Joshua and Gia have an intense chemistry and banter between them that carries all the way through. I loved all of the suspense and fantastic twists. I can not wait to find out what's coming next for the Dons of the Accardi Family in the second book of the duet.

This dark mafia romance kept me hooked from start to finish. The story follows a rookie spy whose mission is to seduce the Irish mafia boss's brother but ends up falling for her intense and controlling boss, Don Joshua Accardi. Their fiery chemistry and his protective nature clash with her independent spirit, creating a captivating dynamic. As they give in to their attraction, her mission becomes dangerous, and she becomes a target. The emotional twists, suspense, and steamy romance made this story impossible to pause. It ends on a gripping cliffhanger, making me eager for the next book. Highly recommended for fans of mature, intense romances.

I have loved all of Siobhan Davis books, so I jumped right into this book and knew it was going to tare me apart. I felt so many different emotions that, at times, I had to put the book down for a minute. When an author can make you feel so many different things in a book and about the characters, that you feel like you're right there with them, It's incredible,
That is what makes an amazing writer.
Gia, omg, I just love her. She is a ball buster, and it's amazing to read. She is a hardass and doesn't let the men forget that she isn’t to be missed with and that she can give as good as she gets. Poor Joshua, Gia has him acting out of character and feeling things he isn't used to anymore. I am getting a kick out of him and trying to handle these new feelings.
