Unfortunately I didn’t like this book only because I thought the female character repetitive and boring.
This series should be finished with 2 books.

EPIC!!! That’s the word I would use to describe the last book in Alexius and Leandra’s all-consuming trilogy. These characters definitely took us on the most captivating, enthralling and gripping joyride. From the very first book I was addicted to them and having read this OUTSTANDING conclusion I still wish there was more, but all great things must come to an end…right? Their unraveling was so very tantalizing, highly intense and remarkably passionate. This couples story truly took my breath away and I am still trying to catch it.
Congratulations Bella! This trilogy is truly ASTOUNDING and MEMORABLE. The only thing that makes this ending bearable is knowing we will get Nicoli’s story next.

good but….

I think this would of been better if it didn’t include having sex while your brother is watching. Having your wife use a vibrator on another women. I can red sex scenes but I have no desire to read how a brother stands and watches his sister in law finger f*ck herself. Literally the second time she’s had sex in her life. Just not my cuppa a tea. I read all three books thinking he is obsession would stop the extra sex with others but it didn’t. Like I said not my cuppa tea

This ending to the Dark Soveriegn trilogy is TWISTED BUT SO GOOD

This is the final book in the Dark Sovereign trilogy ("Alexius" and "His Wife" are books 1 and 2 respectively! Must be read in order.). Now ....

Holy Cow! What I just read ... So twisted, but so Good. This is one of those stories you will feel!

If you read my review of book 2, you'll know that while I loved it, I didn't understand Leandra's reaction to something Alexius did, especially as she's supposed to love him at this point. ...And yes, she continues to be angry and hold herself away from Alexius in the first part of book 3, but ... I felt every bit of his anguish, his desparation and fear of losing her during this time. His need is palpable. I love that it's the H who is so consumed he's pratically unable to function without her. The best part is that Bella J manages to convey all this without making him seem wimpy or soft. He retains all his Alpha hotness!

Eventually, something occurs that gets them talking and agreeing to work things out, but now it's Alexius who has reasons for staying away (part guilt, feeling unworthy of her forgiveness; part fear of his jealousy over even his brothers' affection towards her) and then it's Leandra who finally realizes how much she needs him and fears losing him. These two go through so much internal conflict within themselves as they fight their own needs and wants. It's heart, body and mind saying something different, so yeah ... Twisted, but so good!
Of couse, the twistedness doesn't end there as they deal with a traitorous, jealous uncle who will stop at nothing and use anyone to try and gain control of the Dark Sovereign; , a traitorous staff member feeding info to the uncle and the h's $hit father who has been paroled from prison and was there for some henious crimes. But don't worry, both Leandra and Alexius get their revenge and their happily ever after with some peace and a lot of spice! Absolutely loved this trilogy...5 stars again! Can't wait for Nicoli's story to come out (Alexius' twin)! Already got mine pre-ordered!

You and I both know this is the sh*t we live for. The adrenaline. The rush. The f*cking hunt that lets us unravel.

I read this in two sitting. I could not stop reading. This book consumed me from the first page. Even now days later after finishing it I can't stop thinking about what's to come next.

Out of the 3 books this one was my favorite, it was the best conclusion to Alexius and Leandrea story.
UNRAVELED picks up where His Wife finished. Leandrea is angry, Alexius is on a path of lust. But also keeping secrets and trying to make sure his family is safe.

This book starts off with a bang. The hottest bang lol ever.
Bella keeps you on your toes with this one. The plot screams along side the passion in this book.

This book is intense, it unraveled me many times. In the best way. The steam in this book is hot and heavy just like the first book....
It frustrated me, it made me emotional, even though I felt those things I had the biggest smile on my face from the beginning to the end.

Alexius is my favorite, he is at the top of my list of favorite men. His passion for Leandrea is gripping. You feel what he feels. And even with the other brothers, you feel what they feel. They play such a big part in this trilogy. Isaia has my heart. That man was screaming at me all the way through this book. Nicoli I know he's story is going to be epic. He hiding something....
The one man I have no clue about is Caelian, I feel like he's a dark horse. And we haven't met his dark side yet. Could he been the dark and dangerous man out of the brothers... I think so.

I honestly can't wait for these men to have their own books. I am OBSESSED.

I can’t believe Bella J topped the first two books. Because she did.! She outdid herself with this one.

The conclusion to Alexius and Leandra's story and trilogy was EPIC!

I DEVOURED THE PAGES!

With His Wife ending on a bombshell of a cliffhanger and Leandra learning of Alexius's betrayal I couldn't wait to start Unraveled.
Which is why not 5 minutes after it hit my Kindle today I started reading it! 😁 (It's the weekend. Why not?🤷‍♀️)

This book was nail biting intense, sexy, thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat.

Alexius is 💯 Obsessed and possessive of His Wife.
It's totally 🔥
You will absolutely not want to miss this book.
I freaking LOVED the Epilogue.

And....I am now so looking forward to Nicoli's story and more from the Dark Sovereign World.

WOW! The journey of Alexius & Leandra has been one hell of a ride that's for sure. Unraveled is the concluding chapter so you can't start here or it will take away from the overall experience so read the Dark Sovereign series in order. Alexius has definitely put me through the ringer along with his wife, Leandra, as he's a real piece of work. Now, I'm not necessarily saying he's bad per se, just some of his decision making when it comes to her that made my head about explode LOL! He's definitely super sexy, and they light everything around them on fire when they play their sexy time games, but when will the emotional aspect come into play?! On top of their toxic(ish) marriage, the world he leads isn't exactly safe, even when it comes from family members so there's that. It gives us twists that equal some action added to all the heat & angst with a kicker of humor here & there. Louis Batone really had me laughing but I can't tell you why, you'll just have to read the book so you know. Bella J. is simply brilliant & I CANNOT WAIT for the next brother's turn! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I wasn’t the happiest of readers when I learned that Alexius & Leandra’s journey was turning into a trilogy, but Bella pulled it off spectacularly. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to read more of them, but I was truly afraid there would just be drama for drama all up in Unraveled just to make it an extra book and even tho I did go into my reading having this prejudice in my brain, it just disappeared like it was never there as soon as I started reading. They needed this extra part and I’m stoked that Bella recognized that and delivered one heck of a trilogy in the end! It was every bit as passionate and gripping and captivating as the first two books and it just added to the intensity that was Alexius & Leandra from the start! I cannot recommend this trilogy enough! Well done!

Ma’am you just grabbed right on to my heart and squeezed until I read THE END!

Addicting, captivating, gripping and all consuming are just a few words to describe the epic conclusion to Alexius and Leandra’s story. The chemistry and character growth was phenomenal, creating all of the feels- I cried with these characters, my heart broke with them and I blushed with them! Their unraveling was also mine, it was everything I ever wanted for them.

I am very much looking forward to the rest of the Del Rossa brothers.

Wow! And OMG! This was one hot read that was intense highly sensual and sexual read. Leandra and Alexius are perfect for one another at this point Leandra is still reeling from Alexius' betrayal but, her head and heart are at war as she can't stop loving him or craving what only he is capable of.

This story is riveting and suspenseful which keeps the reader on edge the entire time. Alexuis is highly possessive and dominant and dark and dangerous and every girl's fantasy comes to life. Drool is a worthy and fan-worthy character for sure.

This cast of characters was amazing, the good and the evil but, Leandra is the character that has flourished the most, and we loved seeing her blossom right before our eyes. Mira is no slouch either, we dig her as we love how she is feisty and speaks her mind kind of girl.

Two words some's this one up, Page Turner!
We loved it from cover to cover!
One of our go-to authors!

FINALLY... finally this book arrived and I couldn't start it fast enough.
Seriously. I was eager to know more, to read more, and let's just say, a bit nervous as well.
Everyone knows that I love Bella J and her books are superb.
Not only is she the queen of darkness but also the queen of cliffhangers and boy, did it need a huge one.
Unraveled is her latest release and it's the third book from the Dark Sovereign series and explores the lives of Leandra and Alexius.
But one huge piece of advice. This book is not a standalone therefore you must read Alexius, then His Wife, and only then read this book. You must or you won't be able to understand anything.
As you know, Alexius needed a wife, in comes Leandra into the equation.
What started as a contract, soon evolved into something more but when a huge lie is revealed...
I knew that this book was going to be intense due to the first two books from this series.
I knew that I was going to be devouring it in no time and I actually did it.
Once I started to read it I couldn't put it down.
Stellar plot, very well written, super engaging, intense, dark, and hot...
Oh so hot...
There were parts of the book that I wanted to slap someone silly... Jesus Christ, how can someone be so stubborn, so dense?
How can you do things like that and don't see that there's a problem?
I was so intrigued, so curious, that I didn't see the time flying.
One chapter led to another and when I noticed, the book ended.
It was awesome to have all my questions answered, but new ones appeared and now I'm left wanting for the next book.
The hot factor in this book is brutal and off the scale.
Dayum, I was left in need of a few cold showers... Just saying.
And that scene in the end... HOT...
Another amazing book Bella, the perfect conclusion for Leandra and Alexius.
But I need the next book... I need Nicoli. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Bella J will be going on my top mafia-romance authors. I didn't realize I've read another couple's story (Daniela and Gian) which made a cameo in here until I looked it up. I enjoyed their story well enough, but not as much as Leandra and Alexius' story. I think the reason I appreciated this trilogy so much was that it was not only about Leandra and Alexius' relationship, but his family dynamics and his role as the head of the Dark Sovereign. All of it was seamlessly integrated to make it a full and rich story.

There was so much toxicity and drama between Leandra and Alexius. With the inevitable 'reveal' of what Alexius did, it had me livid on Leandra's behalf and I was honestly wondering if there would be any redemption, but I was 100% satisfied. I will have to say best supporting characters were Mirabella and Isaia. I'm so glad they are all going to have their own stories as they all deserve their own HEAs; Max included.

Overall, what a wonderful wrap up to this trilogy. I would highly recommend giving it a go if you're into dark mafia tropes.

I have been dying to get my hands on the final installment of Alexius and Leandra and I was SO not disappointed. It was twisty, spicy and so much more. This story and series as a whole has this level of grittiness that will have you wrapped up in this world and dying to know what will come next. There is an amazing level of complexity that Bella J. wrapped into her book that leaves you breathless as well. There is a level of want to get to know more, and I am dying to get my hands on the other brothers because I know they will be just as twisty sexy goodness like Alexius is!

Madness & Redemption!

Unraveled is the third and final installment in the Dark Sovereign Trilogy and must be read after books #1 and #2, respectively.

Following in the aftermath of the events at the final of the second book, Alexius' betrayal, Leandra's world fell down as well as her trust, and now, they're living a true hecathomb of emotions, reasonings, actions and reactions, a conflicted atmosphere where they're both hurting and raging against the situation, blaming each other and themselves and feeling their insecurites raw, edgy and an absolutely wreck.

This book is a proverbial testimony to the fact that we only know how connected and in sync a couple is when it comes to the difficulties of the relationship, the challenging times and the obststacles. There was a lot of resistance from Leandra and Alexius and it took some precious time for them to find the same path of recovery, to grab their connection, to fight for themselves as the other half of one another, as one.

Their love is madness, fuel and fire! Always was, always will. But their overcoming of the trust, loyalty and mutual respect is their true redemption, though the reasons might be for the marasm that found them. Very emotional and gritty, the narrative make us feel part of the family, the time and space, the convoluted enviroment, the reunions, plans and decisions. I absolutely loved how Bella portrayed the misery of both being apart along with the pain of them being together . Insanity and hysteria in loud thougts, in decadent needs, in blazing touches. And on a spur of the moment, Alexius completly drawn and lost makes the best decision ever, the decision that will bring his wife back and make their embededness stronger!

Flowing energetically, straight and strong, the narrative compounds in perfection the imaginary of a secret and powerful society with its very own customs and values, functioning and order, legacy, wealth and perversion. The conflict for the places at the table of the Dark Sovereign is settled by now, only friends and no foes and an upcoming future of prosperity under the hand of the Del Rossa Brothers plus ONE.

In the end we have the family reunited, the cuteness of the heirs, everything came to fruition and the time to unravel is NOW!

Great finale!
Big surprises await us!

Unraveled gives us the conclusion we have been eagerly awaiting. The chemistry between these two will make you tremble at its intensity. As you turn each and every page you are held in a world of darkness that just lights you up with the connection and chemistry. Their story was emotional, gritty, explosive and absolutely addictive. You are held on the edge of your seat from book 1 right to the end of this book. There is chaos and drama that has you captured within the storyline. Alexius and Leandra's love story is like no other and one that will have you gasping for breath as you finally release the one you have been holding since the first page.

Unraveled is complete and utter perfection. The conclusion to Alexius' and Leandra's story is nothing short of mind blowing. It's dark. It's decadent. It's delicious.
Thank you, Bella J. Thank you.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Angst: 💣💣💣 Plot: 📚📚📚📚📚

Cliffhanger? No but this book cannot be read as a standalone. You need to read Alexius and His Wife before this one.

Trigger Warnings: ☠️ ☠️

Tropes: dark mafia romance

Leandra became a Del Rossa because Alexius needed a wife or he wouldn't inherit the position as head of the Dark Sovereign. Even when he accepted the need to marry, he never believed love would enter the equation. But love each other they did. They loved each other with an intensity that surprised them both. Alexius' love bordered on obsession and he thought he'd never survive if she left him. As a result, he crossed a line that left Leandra feeling betrayed. As if he wasn't already making bad decisions, he locks her in her room. As Bella J. creatively brings Leandra and Alexius Del Rossa's trilogy to a close, expect to be irritated, frustrated, overheated and lose hours to the page-turning plot.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this couple's journey and I couldn’t have asked for more in this last book. Both characters irritated the hell out of me but as they navigated their HEA, I couldn’t have wanted it written any other way. As with the previous two books, this one kept me riveted from start to finish. The passion between these two burned like a forest fire lighting everything including me up along with them. I am so happy the author is continuing with the Dark Sovereign series and giving us the brother's stories. I can't wait for Nikolai's book! I'm highly recommending this trilogy. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

First two books actually had substance and told involving stories. Held my interest. This book I skimmed mostly because it became a treatise on sex with little action, suspense or excitement.

Intense, Unforgiving, MONUMENTAL

✅ Strong, yet broken Heroine
✅ Tempestuous Relationship
✅ Dark, Gritty, Erotic
✅ Violent, Unforgiving, Intense

MONUMENTAL!!! UNRAVELED is MONUMENTAL!!!

"Love is not the butterflies you feel when you're with someone. It's the brokenness you experience when you're apart."

Bella J forced me to crave everything about Alexius and Leandra's story. It became a want, a need to know what happened with this intense couple after the conclusion of This Wife. Alexius has betrayed Leandra in the worst way possible, and she is understandably angry, but she's also hurting. Will he be able to redeem himself? From the intense, lustful opening chapter, Bella J kept me squirming on the edge of my seat, fanning myself, and yelling at both Alexius and Leandra, they frustrated me so much with their inability to communicate.

"I don't just love her. That woman owns me, brother. And it's f*cking with my head because, for the first time in my goddamn life, I know what it feels like to fear losing someone."

Alexius and Leandra have always shared an intense, passionate, and tempestuous relationship, in this book these have increased threefold. Alexius has never allowed his emotions to rise to the surface, yet his passion, desire, and love for Leandra is challenging him in every way. Leandra is angry and resentful, she wants to hate him, but she can't, their chemistry has a hold over every part of her. Her heart and body want him desperately, yet it is her head that continues to fight him. She wants an apology, but Del Rossa men DO NOT SAY SORRY. The heat between them is beyond palpable, it's fiery, erotic, lustful, they are both the predator and the prey. I love how Bella shows the growth of their relationship, both physically and emotionally, emotions that are hard to control, and Alexius and Leandra struggle with theirs. Will their hearts win over their heads?

"... there's this invisible line we're both linked to, and the harder I try to get more distance, the closer it pulls us together."

Not only is Alexius fighting a battle with Leandra, but he is also trying to ensure her and his family's safety. Family is everything to him, and to have a threat come from within sees him reaching the end of his patience. The four Del Rossa men are a force to be reckoned with. Nicoli, Caelin, and even Isaia come into their own in this installment, and I cannot wait for each brother to tell their own. Each of them is different, but all are hiding their own secrets. Bella ensures that the brothers are brutal with their enemies, however I wouldn't expect anything less from them. And that Epilogue ... OMG, talk about sighing and smiling.

"In the end, the heart wants what the heart wants ..."

Honestly, if you love dark romance, intense men, strong women, and a story that you'll become extremely obsessed over. I cannot recommend this series highly enough. Bella J is an absolute GENIUS and QUEEN of DARK ROMANCE.

“L’amore non è la sensazione di farfalle che si prova quando si sta insieme a qualcuno. È la rottura che si prova quando si è lontani.”

Si conclude qui la trilogia del Sovrano oscuro che ha visto Leandra e Alexius come protagonisti indiscussi, i quali, tra pov alternati e colpi di scena ci hanno raccontato la loro infinita storia di amore, sesso, violenza e ostacoli a ogni angolo.

Se finora la coppia aveva avuto un ruolo principale con un mondo intero, quello mafioso e crudele, che gli girava attorno rendendo il tutto accattivante, in Svelato le vicende rimangono un po’ statiche. Torna dall’oltretomba il connubio Isaia–Leandra (che non mi ha particolarmente colpita) e la forte rivalità con zio Roberto (che si è dimostrato un antagonista senza attributi).

Ho amato alcuni personaggi che so torneranno presto nella trilogia seguente, ovvero Mira e Nicoli – non vedo l’ora di approcciarmi a loro – e spero di avere maggiori informazioni di Maximo, perché penso che sia un uomo con una psicologia interna fenomenale.

Ma veniamo un attimo ai fatti: Leandra è rimasta incinta perché quell’idiota del marito (sì, è adorabile, ma sempre idiota!) ha fatto un magheggio; questo ha mandato la coppia in piena crisi (lui che addirittura la rinchiude, lei che gli staccherebbe la testa dal collo volentieri). Tra un’arrabbiatura e l’altra e il siparietto con Isaia, in qualche modo vanno oltre e ritrovano un equilibrio… sebbene qua di equilibrio mentale ci sia poco, nel senso che sono carini nel loro meccanismo malato di seduzione, sesso estremo e quant’altro ma è bello solo perché è pura fantasia, diciamocelo!

Dietro l’angolo lo zio Roberto sta mettendo in piedi la sua vendetta, per fortuna però Alexius, come si suol dire non si smentisce, è sempre lui: uno psicopatico geloso della sua ombra, sexy da morire ma ossessionato dal suo ruolo (in tutti i sensi). Leandra mostra ancora una volta il suo carisma e la sua forza, non vergognandosi dei suoi desideri più oscuri.

Un libro carino, forse a tratti un po’ scontato, che non mi ha trasmesso quell’emotività che cercavo. I caratteri e le personalità dei protagonisti si erano già esauriti, non dando modo al lettore di vedere altre sfumature e dando quel momento di curiosità maggiore.

La scrittura dell’autrice rimane tuttavia fruibile a tutti, scorrevole e ben impostata; manca però un brio, la scintilla che una narrazione deve regalare. Quindi direi, archiviamo Leandra e Alexius e aspettiamo con impazienza Mira e Nicoli!

The story continues from the previous book, His Wife, where we were left with Leandra discovering her husband’s betrayal. My heart went out to Leandra for much of the first half, I could have strangled Alexius—but I think readers are meant to feel like this. There are so many emotions in this story you literally can’t not get involved.

Leandra is so conflicted in much of this story but there is one thing —she is good for Alexius. Her love for him is huge but her need for a say in her life is too. I cheered as her backbone strengthened and she went toe to toe with Alexius. All the while he discovers a new to do things and tries to save his marriage. His love for Leandra is enormous and they definitely have no issues with their intimacy, there’s an abundance of steamy scenes.

Roberto is still causing trouble and honestly, I want to bop him on the head. (With a hammer!) As things heat up there’s plenty of action and drama but 🤐 no spoilers here. Although much of the story is quite dark and there are some concerning scenes, I found myself laughing out loud with the humor that’s sprinkled here and there. I even read bits out to my husband who laughed as well!

Leandra and Alexius have an explosive relationship, full of intense passion and overwhelming love; it is an immensely strong connection. Now, I can’t wait to discover what happens to Nicoli, Caelian, and Isaia in future books.

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING - is the best way I can describe this Explosive, Thrilling conclusion to the Trio that makes up the story of Leandra and Alexius Del Rossa. Book two left readers wondering ‘how in the world such a spell binding couple could end up in such a mess’. Alexius, a man who was forced to marry, bargains with a “stray” for a marriage of convenience. But, he ends up so in love with his wife he’ll do anything to keep her once their bargain time arrangement is over - even trick her. He warned her he’d do whatever it takes to keep her, but Leandra can’t live with his lies. Her Mind tells her to run but her heart and her body say stay.

This reader was enthralled with the first two books but book three literally held me captive to the pages. A love so strong that it transcends all wrongdoings. Chemistry that burns the pages and melts the heart, all while a plot to destroy the Del Rossa’s and the Dark Sovereign is looming, hanging over everyone’s head.

Again I can only say, simply outstanding and this reader can’t wait for the next story to hit my ereader. If you haven’t started the series, Grab up Alexius (book1). If you like thrilling, mafia storylines with possessive, alpha males and strong sassy women, hold onto your seats cuz you’re going to love this heart-stopping rollercoaster of a ride series.

So many quotes

I think I highlighted half the book!

What a great conclusion to L and As story, I hope we still get to read about them in the next books.

Bella J does an amazing job with this series. The story is driven by the characters and their relationships, with the outside drama acting as more of a supporting character, which I love.

It was wonderful to see the resolution of Isaias feelings towards Leandra but I have to say when his turn comes I’m not sure there will be a woman good enough for him. He’s my favorite. I’m jealous.

I think we all want to know who the brother was that got to share Leandra in the first book and my vote is Nicoli. There were some hints but we know it definitely wasn’t Isaia and Cealian just didn’t seem as close to Alexius.

I could have read another 50 pages of this story easily, with more scenes of Mira and Isaia helping Leandra through the separation, some of his brothers talking to him during the separation etc.

I would have loved a scene where Alexius actually acknowledges Isaia for being there for his wife when he let her down so many times, but that was wishful thinking lol

Now onto read what I’m sure is an explosive next book.

His love for Leandra is enormous and they definitely have no issues with their intimacy, there’s an abundance of steamy scenes.

Roberto is still causing trouble and honestly I want to bop him on the head. (With a hammer!) As things heat up there’s plenty of action and drama but 🤐 no spoilers here. Although much of the story is quite dark and there are some concerning scenes, I found myself laughing out loud with the humour that’s sprinkled here and there. I even read bits out to my husband who laughed as well!

Leandra and Alexius have an explosive relationship, full of intense passion and overwhelming love; it is an immensely strong connection. Now, I can’t wait to discover what happens to Nicoli, Caelian, and Isaia in future books.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of UNRAVELED" OMG!!! What a brilliantly written conclusion to this to this mind-blowing intense emotional explosive rollercoaster ride drama that plays out you can't put town.
Alexius & Leandra picks up where they left off her angry with him for deceiving her, trying to keep his family safe, keeping secrets, their chemistry is so explosive at times, his passion for her is so gripping but love them to bits.
Alexius brothers play a big role in this story I love their characters Nicoli is keeping secrets hopefully we find out on his story, Caelian has a dark side to him hopefully we learn more about that in the future.
I definitely recommend to get this amazing, thrilling, riviting, captivating, intense, intriguing book to find out everything that happens brilliantly written so well worth the read I loved loved it couldn't get enough a must read for sure.
