Kelly’s AXEL is everything a dark mafia romance promises to be and more, delivering a story that is as emotionally resonant as it is scorchingly hot. I have been eagerly anticipating Axel’s book, and it did not disappoint. The narrative sizzles with electric hate-to-love banter, immediately bringing to mind the sharp-witted dynamic of films like 10 Things I Hate About You, but with a deliciously dangerous twist.
Book Description
A dark, steamy, mafia romance, sizzling with heat when the stalked … stalks back.
AXEL is my hot d*ckhead boss who stalks me. I know.
He’s arrogant. Powerful. Evil. But those eyes.
So, I stalked him back, and that’s when I discovered…
He’s the escaped heir to a criminal empire.
A dark prince.
The head of a secret society of vigilante mafia kings.
I spied on their taboo ex-Bratva rituals.
I know their dark secret, how they initiate their queens.
And he busted me.
Now, Axel says he owns me.
He makes me stay with him … or else.
Or fall in love with my sinful stalker?
Or become the mafia queen to the son of the most dangerous man in the world?
Author’s note: AXEL is a standalone, dark, not-mafia-mafia romance set in a world of taboo traditions, biting banter, morally grey heroes in a band of brothers with some heavy themes, and very explicit scenes. This is an 18+, interconnected romance with a guaranteed HEA.

My Thoughts
Kelly’s AXEL is everything a dark mafia romance promises to be and more, delivering a story that is as emotionally resonant as it is scorchingly hot. I have been eagerly anticipating Axel’s book, and it did not disappoint. The narrative sizzles with electric hate-to-love banter, immediately bringing to mind the sharp-witted dynamic of films like 10 Things I Hate About You, but with a deliciously dangerous twist.
The story plunges readers back into a secret world of vigilante mafia kings and taboo rituals, a setting that feels both familiar and thrilling. It was a pleasure to see characters from previous books, which adds a layer of depth for returning readers. At the heart of the novel is the undeniable chemistry between Axel and Ruby. Their connection is beautifully developed, moving beyond the physical to forge a bond that feels raw and genuine. And, as always with Kelly's work, the spice is simply amazing, perfectly woven into their evolving relationship.
What truly sets this book apart, however, is the masterful plot. The story flows seamlessly, but just when you think you have it figured out, a plot twist arrives that will leave your jaw on the floor. These revelations are expertly timed, raising the stakes and leaving you desperate for the next installment to get some answers.
While AXEL is the second book in the Belle & Bratva Beasts series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone. However, I agree with the author’s note and recommend reading book one to fully appreciate the intricate world-building. For fans of high-heat mafia romance with intelligent banter and heart-pounding suspense, this is an absolute must-read. Please be sure to check the trigger warnings before diving in, as the book explores mature themes.
