His Tesoro: A Mafia Romance (Deluxe Limited Edition) (Empire of Royals, 1)

Best of #BookTok: Once she dreamed of love. Now her future is just another deal struck in blood.

Sofiya Ivanova spent years locked away due to her father’s disdain at having a defective daughter. The head of the Bratva can’t be associated with weakness―and to him, that’s all she is. That is, until a marriage alliance gives him the opportunity to use her as a pawn in his game.

As Sofiya heads down the aisle, she carries a fragile hope that she might find freedom, belonging, even love on the other side of this business arrangement. But her new husband makes it brutally clear he wants nothing to do with her. Despite his coldness, she can’t deny her attraction to the handsome Don . . . especially when she glimpses the caring man beneath his harsh exterior.

Matteo Rossi’s life has been defined by betrayal. After a traitor murdered his parents, he clawed his way to his rightful place as Don of the Italian Mafia. Now, with enemies closing in from all sides, he’ll do whatever it takes to maintain control of New York City―including taking Sofiya as his wife. Except, he never expected her: the sweet, sunny bride consuming his every thought.

But when the delicate trust between them splinters, Matteo will stop at nothing to protect his empire . . . even if it means risking the woman who’s stolen his heart.

His Tesoro is a spicy, grumpy/sunshine, age-gap mafia romance with an arranged marriage, a disabled heroine, and a jealous/possessive hero. It ends in an HEA and can be read as a standalone.

    GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOO GOOOOOOOOOOOD!
    This book absolutely sucked me in from page one, the way Emilia portrays these characters is like I’m inside the book watching it happen in real life, I absolutely loved Sophia and how strong she is as a woman battling a crippling disability and a mean family and she is so protective of her little sister, she is what a strong FMC is all about! I have reread this book so many times and each time I read it I find something new and exciting about it! I refuse to return this on kindle unlimited because I always go back to this book! The angst! The love story! How protective Matteo is when he finally admits he has feelings for Sophia just an absolute winner of a book!! Chefs kiss all day!!!!!!

    A Touching Story of Healing and Love!
    I truly enjoyed Sofiya and Matteo’s story. From the very beginning, this book pulled at my heartstrings. It was inspiring watching Sofiya face and overcome the challenges of living with EDS, and my heart broke for what she endured with her father and the uncertainties at the beginning of her marriage.At first, Matteo comes across as distant—not because he’s cruel, but because he’s trying to protect himself from his pull to Sofiya. She intrigues him, and he’s still working through his own emotional trauma. Matteo did step in and give her the support and stability she needed to live a better life with her condition, which made their connection even more meaningful. Their relationship, along with their individual journeys, was emotional, intense, and engaging.I really loved the characters and their unique personalities. The book was easy to read, well-edited, and kept me invested throughout. This was my first book by this author, and it definitely won’t be my last.

    Mafia Romance w/a Disabled FMC
    Book 1 in the Empire of Royals seriesI can’t believe I waited so long to read this book. It is AMAZING! If you love a dark, broody, grumpy mafia boss who is into light BDSM, then this is the book for you. It’s an arranged marriage between two rival families (Bratva & Italian). Sofiya is forced to marry the Don of New York, Matteo. Matteo doesn’t really care that he has to get married to form an alliance in order to help keep the Albanians out of his territory. To him, it’s just business. The last thing he expects is to be affected by his beautiful new bride (although at first he tries his hardest to stay away from her). Sofiya has hEDS and Matteo is determined to do whatever is needed to make her as comfortable as possible, which includes getting her a high-end custom wheelchair, a wonderful service dog (Noodle), and helpful aids…. including some that are utilized in the bedroom.I love that Sofiya has everyone wrapped around her little finger, not only with her kindness, but with all her baked goods and delicious dinners. While some were upset with the third act conflict; however, I was (shockingly) fine with it. I mean, of course, I was outraged for Sofiya, but it really made sense for the story and for Matteo’s character. I look forward to re-reading this again soon!

    Started off strong…
    I thought the first 30% of this book was very strong to the point where I really thought it was going to be my favorite read of the month. The author obviously did fantastic research on the character’s disability and incorporated it beautifully – some of the best I’ve read on this. Both the disability and the ableism was so believable that at some parts it was gut wrenching.The FMC is definitely all sunshine, however with an added pushover mentality which could make sense with the abuse she’s suffered. However I did have issues believing the MMC’s attitude and had difficulty understanding the evolution of their romance. Until they started having sex, their banter was poor to non-existent. He avoided her constantly yet felt a need for her. Why? It felt like the inciting incident for their love was missing. And then the lack of groveling at the end for the crud he put her through was frustrating.Side note – This is a light Mafia romance. While a couple dark topics are mentioned or discussed, it’s not a dark storyline nor romance.

    A New Favorite!
    This book exceeded my already high expectations in so many ways. It has the usual mafia romance vibe but manages to keep a hopeful tone throughout the story despite some dark themes. Disability rep done right, strong found family vibes, as well as sibling bonds. The spice works for the story and takes the FMCs disability into account. I loved the FMC and the supporting characters. The MMC took some time to grow on me but I was a fan by the end! Can’t wait to see what happens in this world next!

    This book is one of the most beautiful mafia-arranged romances ever. The story was a breakthrough during my book slump.I absolutely enjoyed reading the book; the romance and the characters were extremely interesting and captivating. I adored Matteo’s possessive nature towards Sofia.I find it intriguing that the female main character in this mafia romance is disabled. It certainly changes the dynamic and adds an interesting angle to the story.Overall, I would say this one is an excellent read. I recommend this to everyone who loves reading mafia romance, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

    One of my favourite books that I read in 2024!As someone living with a chronic illness (different from the FMC) I found this book to be deeply touching and heartwarming, watching Sofiya experience this kind of love story genuinely meant so much to me. All of the little things Matteo did to ensure her comfort made me genuinely emotional and the care and tenderness displayed in this book solidified it as a new favourite for me. The mafia elements were incredibly entertaining and the characters were amazing and vivid. I loved the start, adored the middle and had a hell of a lot of fun with the ending. Be prepared for an explosive final act! This book is incredibly special to me and I will literally read anything this author writes next. I cannot wait for the sequel! Watch me reread and annotate the hell out of this book in 2025 <3Please check the trigger warnings before reading!

    I don’t usually read mafia dark romance, the heroes tend to be too selfish or unempathetic for my taste and the heroines used to be something different from what I like to read.This book, however, was just like a perfect fit for my tastes. The h at the beginning is fearful and submissive but understandably so, considering her past and the environment she lives in. The hero was cold at first but the relationship evolved in a way that felt natural to me and I liked that he was never really sadistic or cruel on purpose. Matteo was a bit clueless at first but otherwise I liked him a lot. The secondary characters were so well written that I enjoyed them when they appeared on the scene and they made me laugh more than once. I enjoyed this book so much that it will surely become one of my comfort reads.
