The ‘Made’ series by Danielle Lori is a 3-book mafia romance series that focuses on three different couples –
Elena Abelli and Nico Russo
Christian Allister and Gianna Abelli
Mila Ivanov and Ronan Marino
These mafia romance books are spicy, filled with tension and great plots. I read these a while ago and I am yet to decide who my favorite fictional man is out of the 3.
Just kidding – it's Christian Allister.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into detailed summaries of these books and let’s see if I can convince you to read these by the end of this blog.
1. The Sweetest Oblivion (Made Series Book 1)
Elena Abelli is the picture of mafia royalty, but her life is more about duty than desire. Nicknamed ‘Sweet Abelli’ for her demeanor, she is the favored daughter.
Then there is Nico Russo, the embodiment of danger and allure from a rival mafia family. He is dark, dangerous and handsome as hell.
From the moment Elena and Nico’s eyes meet, there are sparks flying everywhere.
BUT Nico is engaged to Elena’s sister.
Despite the pending marriage to her sister, and her disdain for Made men, Elena finds herself drawn to Nico. He is constantly around. His voice sends tingles down her spine.
He is the epitome of a morally grey, extremely dangerous man.
And I was IN LOVE.
2. The Maddest Obsession (Made Series Book 2)
Gianna Abelli is quite the firecracker in a family where women are usually expected to be more like decorative, silent vases.
She doesn’t fit that mold at all. She's outspoken, daring, and doesn’t care much for the strict rules of her mafia heritage.
Meanwhile, Christian Allister is a man wrapped in layers upon layers of mystery.
An FBI agent with the classic tall, dark, and handsome vibe mixed with a silent, intense aura that makes him incredibly intriguing.
The dude becomes so OBSESSED with Gianna that he goes to therapy for this obsession. Watching them together, you get a mix of sharp wit, fiery confrontations, and moments of deep vulnerability.
They challenge each other, change each other, and ultimately, they expose the raw and real parts they hide from everyone else.
3. The Darkest Temptation (Made Series Book 3)
Mila Ivanov is a survivor.
As the daughter of a Russian mafia boss, she has grown up in a world filled with danger and betrayal, which has taught her to be cautious and secretive.
Mila’s life has been anything but easy, marked by personal tragedies and the heavy burden of her family's legacy.
Ronan Marino is a classic brooding antihero with a vendetta that fuels his every action.
Picture a man who's both feared and respected, with a reputation that precedes him in any room he enters.
He's fiercely protective, intensely private, and when he loves, he loves hard—even if he doesn't think he's worthy of it.
When Ronan and Mila come together, it’s like watching fire meet gasoline—both dangerous and mesmerizing.
Ronan finds in Mila a soothing presence, a light in his dark world, while Mila sees in Ronan a protector, someone who truly understands the stakes of living in the mafia's shadow.
Have I convinced you to read The Made Series by Danielle Lori yet? Regardless, I would highly recommend reading this series.
