Rate this book
Natalia has always known that she was promised to a man 25 years her senior. However, after the Novello brothers, come to the aid of her father Frank, everything changes.

Frank is king of the underworld. The Don of NYC. He has money, drugs, guns, thriving businesses and half the police force under his belt. So when he offers the brothers payment for helping him, he’s surprised when the only thing they demand is Natalia.

Unable to refuse their offer, Frank reluctantly hands over his only daughter to the Novello brothers and a war breaks out between the three families.

When duty and jealousy collide, the flames of temptation are fanned and the only thing standing in the way of bloodshed and war is the promise of seduction from the virgin daughter of Frank Costello.

Can there ever be life after the Brotherhood take their payment from her? Or does the ultimate betrayal lie in her own blood?

Violent, bloody, decadent, and twisted mafia romance.

This story left me utterly shocked by the ending. I didn’t see that devilish twist coming...at all!! I loved every second I got to spend with the Novello brothers and their Natalia.

There are three Kings in New York: Michael Novello, Frank Costello, and Alfonso Rossi.

Michael was murdered leaving his empire to his three sons. Dominic assumes his fathers responsibilities while his brothers assist with the more bloody parts of the business. Frank, Natalia’s father, set up an arranged marriage to Alfonso for her from near birth. After a series of events changes the power dynamic in the city, Natalia is instead given to Dominic Novello.

What Natalia sees as the better of two evils turns out to be a dream. She is worshipped and cherished by the brothers concurrently. After all Dominic himself says,

“𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙧 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙖𝙨 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧, 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙒𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙨; 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜.”

Having read a few RH and ménage novels lately I have to say the way this group comes together is what left me envious of their relationship. There’s no judgment or turmoil amongst these three alphas. They work in tandem to please their woman. This is one story that will be revisited often.

Violent, intense and powerful story. Strong alpha male brothers and a mafia princess, her father promised her to his friend when just a baby but it isn't what she wishes. Twists and turns, secrets and lies all play a part in an exciting plot that keeps giving right to the end, there is sizzling, heated sex just to add to the mix. Boy those scenes are on fire🔥. Gripping fast paced page turner so be prepared to take time out to read this, coz once you start it won't be put down till the end. 📚❤ started 5/4/21 finished 5/4/21

Well *smirky smug face* this book is full of filthy goodness and I loved it! Claire nailed the balance between story and steam really well. Royal Blood dances the line of erotic romance but it has a well developed story that is both engaging and holds it's flow continuously from beginning to end.

I found Natalia to be a likable heroine, she didn't come across as weak, young yes but she is a caring, kind hearted woman and there are some fantastic scenes in this book showcasing how likable she is. Yet by the end of the story she has grown into this whole new bad ass queen and I loved it! The Novello Brothers - Dominic, Sisco and Joey all have they own personality traits, I loved the 'family' aspect to the story the love they have for each other, their younger sister Eva is endearing. Their search for retribution for the murder of their father is what drives the plot and how it all comes together in the end surprised me.

As for the chemistry between Natalia and the 3 brothers OMG it is off the charts hot!! Claire crafted the scenes in a way that really focused on the heroine being pleasured, wanted, desired and loved. The intimate scenes had a place and weren't just thrown in for the sake of it. They progressed the story and the characters, creating a well rounded novel.

If you are looking for a steamy read, that has mafia elements, alpha males and a story you can devour in a couple of hours then look no further.

A quick, hot and steamy RH mafia read, with plenty going on to keep you entertained!

Natalia is the daughter of the mob boss who has been promised to someone much older than her since she was born.

The Novello brothers are on the hunt to find out who murdered their father and get their revenge. They just happen to be in the right plan to save Natalia's father when he has a heart attacked. Their payment for this is Natalia.

She is shocked to say the least, after being promised to someone she hates, she finds herself with 3 brothers who are completely different, but is unsure of her role and who she belongs to. Little does she know she is to be shared between all three of them!!

Natalia is not the submissive little wife, she has fire in her blood and is strong and caring. She comes alive under the care of the 3 brothers, and by the end of the book she took me by surprise and turned out to be a true Queen with a plan all of her own!

The 3 brothers, Dominic, Sisco and Joey, are very different, completely different in character and actions, but they are completely loyal to each other and work together perfectly as a team. Once they have have had a taste of Natalia they have no plans of letting her go!

Good story progression, it doesn't just jump right into the steamy scenes, it leads there and does it well, although I would've liked more of a connection with the brothers and maybe some chapters from their POV not just from Dominic. Looking forward to book 2 to see how this will play out.

Royal Blood: The Brotherhood by Claire C. Riley is the story of 3 brothers: Dominic, Sisco and Joey who are the sons of a powerful mob boss. The 3 brothers set out to avenge their father's death and end up with a mob princess. Natalia at six months old was promised by her father to marry his mob associate.  When at a party for her dad he is saved by one of the brothers. As a thank you Dominic is offered anything and he ask for Natalia. She is relieved to be no longer tied to a man twice her age but is nervous as to which brother she belongs to. She was shocked to find herself attracted to all 3. This was a interesting story that was not only hot and sexy but had a real twist at the end. Looks definitely can be deceiving. A book that once I picked it up I didn't put it down until I was finished. I wouldn't mind having the attention of 3 hot brothers. Each brother was different and brought their own type of sexy to this story. Those guys had me so hot and bothered. 4.5 sexy hot stars for me.

Royal Blood is a new reverse harem, mafia romance standalone by Claire C. Riley.

Natalia was promised to a guy 25 years her senior before she even was one years old. A tragic incident where the main Guys save Natalia‘s father‘s life she becomes their „new possesion“.

This book is seriously sooo steamy. It‘s fire! The characters are explosive together. The intimate scenes are just sooo good. The plot lacks a bit for me sadly. I wished the book was either longer or a duet where it explains alot of the events happening since I felt like it was mainly about the reverse harem in this book.

Nonetheless I really enjoyed this book. It‘s my first by this author and won‘t be my last. Her writing is great and flows really good.

This was a quick, steamy read that had the right balance of emotions, steaminess,drama and intrigue without losing the Mafia element.

I went into this ARC read tentatively as RH is my least read Romance trope but I love Claire writing. She has an uncanny ability to bring her characters to life and make it seem effortless.

Natalia and the Novello brothers will leave you hot and bothered.

If there was anything I could to add it would be that there was more- and see each brother in greater depth and feel the individual connection more. And possibly a POV from each- although short and steamy works perfectly well too!

I can guarantee that you will have your jaw dropping at the end of this story!

“Whatever you want. Whatever you need. No matter the price. Name it and it’s yours.”

These famous last words are about to seal Natalia Costello's life. But,and then then her life has never been hers to decide…

Being the princess of Frank Costello, Natalia has only one duty and has been bound by this since birth to marry Alfonso Rosso. A ruthless man who is twice her age and will see to it that Natalia may be seen...but never heard and any dreams that Natalia have...they will be ripped away from her.

Fighting for a way out is useless and disappearing will only enrage the man that will hunt her down...locking her away and stripping Natalia down until only a hollow shell remains.

Done. I’m a done deal. Traded off and passed around to the highest bidder.

Everything changes for Natalia.

The tables have been turned and now another stands before her...in fact three men are about to entwine themselves around Natalia...both emotionally and physically. Opening up Natalia’s world and looking with new eyes, Natalia is about to come alive and shed who she once was.

A need like no other is growing deep inside of her and these brothers want nothing more than to breathe life into her…

Will she allow them to strip her bare of herself?

“So, you want me to come near you, little mouse?”

“That’s not what I said.”

“Isn’t it?”


All her life Natalia has been the good girl, who never steps out of place, done everything that is expected of her...and now...the leash that has been around her innocent neck is about to be removed.

And now she is at the hands of the Novello brothers...who are hellbent on revenge and Natalia has fallen into their lap.

She’s my smartest move yet and possibly my biggest mistake.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold...so why not sweeten the deed by taking the only daughter of your enemy?

Dominic Novello saw the perfect opportunity to take Natalia for not only himself...but his two brothers. It was a bold decision, one that he didn’t see coming and now that she’s here with doe eyes and pure unmarred all ready for the taking.

Having Natalia within their grasp only feeds into their desires...and the brothers are ready to feast upon her…

“Defiant little thing aren’t you?”

“You don’t scare me.”


A bond like no other is forming, the brothers have always been stronger together and now with Natalia standing by them...they could become unstoppable, a true force to be reckoned with.

She is no longer a sweet little princess...but a queen...a queen who they will cherish and theirs.

I’ve never felt so desired and happy, and I realize that I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here, in their arms.

I really enjoyed this!! I love mafia reads and throwing reverse harem into the mix...well this became the perfect combo.

I loved Natalia's character and how she connected to the brothers. Thrusted into a world that allowed her to open up and become someone she never thought possible, they may have taken her...but they were her escape.

I do feel as though more could have been added, additional scenes or extended moments just to give you a little more of insight/more impact even. This doesn’t stop the story in any way!

A twisty, emotional story that will leave you wanting more from these characters...will there be another...only time will tell…

I’m not normally a fan of reverse harem, but this was an entertaining and steamy read. Natalia is the daughter of Frank Costello, a don of New York. When one of the Novello brothers saves his life, he offers them a powerful boon – their choice of reward. Without hesitating, they choose the lovely Natalia. Having led a sheltered life, Natalia has known she’s been promised to a made man with connections to her family. He also happens to be twice her age and has known her since she was a child. Her life changes once passed over to the Novellos – but is it for the better?

Well, to answer that questions, a resounding yes. Like I said, I wouldn’t normally pick up a reverse harem but if Ms Riley is writing it, I’m reading it, and there’s no denying that this is a holy-jeebus-this-set-my-Kindle-on-fire read. Natalia spent a bit of her time squeezing her thighs together in the book and readers probably will too lol. If you grew up unhappy about having to share with your siblings, wait until you meet the Novello brothers whose motto must be sharing is caring. Without giving too much away, each of the brothers add a unique flavour to the book but the one thing they have in common is steaming up the pages. They were all likeable and devoted to Natalia. I found myself more invested in the brothers than the plot of the book, I’ll admit, they were that good to read about.

The story is told from Natalia and Dominic’s (one of the brothers) point of view which really suited the style of the book. On top of the former’s impending arranged marriage, there’s also the brothers trying to find out who murdered their father. This didn’t take over the story as it was more developed around Natalia’s relationship with the Novellos.

As per usual with this author, there’s a twist that came from nowhere and I loved it as it took me completely by surprise. The novel was a fairly quick read and a great way to escape for a little bit. I probably would have liked a little bit more detail or follow up of some elements in the book such as what happened to Natalia’s mother and the animosity that was between the warring families as I found the story focussed more on Natalia and her relationship as well as adjusting to a new life with the Novellos, but that’s more personal preference because I like to know everything lol. I still really enjoyed it but the emphasis was on the reverse harem side of things rather than the nitty gritty of the mafia and the Novello’s thirst for revenge.

Overall, this was a great read that was H-O-T. If you’re looking to escape reality for a bit and are a fan of a bit of instalove/lust, this book will certainly tick all the right boxes *said as I wipe down my brow and pant a little from a couple of the scenes*. P.S. I love you, Sisco 😊

If you are looking for an unconventional Mafia romance, with betrayal, lies, and a few twists along the way and also packing it in the heat department, then this book is for you.

“I’m a Novello and I’ve been raised to be anything but a pussy. Blood, violence, and vengeance have surrounded me since I was a boy and were intravenously fed to me while still in my mother’s belly. I’m a menace to society. I’m a monster. The thing you run from on a dark night. I’m everything your parents warned you about”

The Novello Brothers have the death of their father to avenge and attend a party to show a united front, they end up in the right place at the right time. Frank, a New York Mafia Dom needs help and the Brothers step-in and save his life, Frank makes them an offer in return….

“Whatever you need. No matter the price. Name it and it’s yours.”

Beautiful, young, Natalia has been promised to an older man since being a little girl, a fate that she has accepted over the years, and will do whatever is expected of her for her family. The promise her father makes to the Brothers, changes the course of her life...Oh boy it does!

This is a scorching hot tale of relationships and the exploration of one of a different kind. The Brothers are extremely close and share everything, including the Woman they all have feelings for. Natalia thrives and is excited by the fact she no longer has to comply and can explore herself and her sexuality and falls for each Brother individually.

“They are my everything . My world.”

With all the twists and turns in this story are they all who we think they are? Will lies and secrets come out and destroy what they have built...buy this book, read it and find out.

It is a quick read that you don't want to put down, and I want more of the Kings and Queen of NYC!

Lots of heat and lots of action, this book did not waste time getting into the thick of things. I appreciate the way the author moved the plot along and developed our view of the characters. Even the way the book started, with Dominic being cold-blooded yet not without mercy and explaining how his brothers Joey and Sisco would react, set a good tone for what was to come.

I thought this book was well-written, smooth, with good dialogue and of course, plenty of steam between Natalia, Dominic, Joey and Sisco. Seeing as how Natalia was promised to Dominic, I was surprised to see how easy-going he was with his brothers getting the first taste. These brothers have no qualms sharing Natalia, because maybe they learned at a young age that "Sharing is caring". And sweet, innocent Natalia seems to adapt easily to all the things they have planned for her. Almost a little too easily... That ending took a bit of a left turn and has me wanting the next book now (if there is going to be one)! If this is a standalone, I think I could be satisfied, but I think it would be awesome to read a second book too!

Natalia has always known that she was promised to a man 25 years her senior. However, after the Novello brothers, come to the aid of her father Frank, everything changes.

Royal Blood has so many unexpected twists and turns, I wanted so much more! I want more Novello men, I want more Natalia, I even want more backstory! I have so many questions, and I need answers!

Natalia was dreading her wedding to a man over 20 years older than her. However, when she meets the Novello men, everything changes. She wants to be more bold, more confident, more everything. She finds her confidence, and there is definitely more to Natalia than meets the eye. She is cunning, sexy, smart, and oozes sex appeal. The 3 brothers can not get enough of her, and I can definitely see why. I really hope there's another one, I need more!!

Natalia is the princess of a mafia don. When her dad falls ill at a party, three brothers, from a rival mafia, step up and help. From there on, she is theirs to protect. Her fathers people are not happy about it.
Opinion
This book is a quick read for mafia and harem lovers. It has a great mix of violence, adoration and sex. This book would be a perfect read for a long evening at home.
Many thanks to Bare Naked Words for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Royal Blood

Jeez! This book!! Super intense, breathtaking action and hot steamy love scenes!! Oh my! At first I thought - oh, this is another mafia book - but then I started reading it and was soon caught up in this amazing storyline. The brothers in this book - Dominic, Sisco & Joey - are scary as hell! Strong, determined, powerful and suddenly in charge of their mafia family after their father’s death! Natalia, is a mafia princess who has been raised knowing she is promised to a much older man as her father has made a business deal that will give him immense power! She doesn’t want this life, but has no way out - until a chance meeting with the brothers at her father’s birthday party changes everything!! Man, I just couldn’t put this a book down - and the ending of this book!! OMG!! All I know is I have to find out what happens next!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A really short novella. Read it in a day and I was captivated. The story was so much fun in the idea of starting with an arranged marriage agreement that does not go according to plan. I loved the relationship that the brothers have with their queen. If you like Den of Vipers, you will like this book. Its not as dark but it does reverse harem justice. My only complaint is that it’s too short. I wanted more backstory of the characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

Natalia has been promised to someone all her life. That changes when the Novella brothers see her.

This is a well written reverse harem mafia romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. I’m really hoping the author writes more in this genre as it was so so good.

Such a quick and steamy read - it started with a bang and I just couldn't put Royal Blood down after starting! Natalia is the daughter of Frank Costello, one of the three kings of NYC. The Novello brothers (Sisco, Dominic, and Joey) are the sons of one of the other kings. Throughout the book the brothers are in search of who murdered their father as well as trying to rebuild their empire to be bigger and better than it was before. After one fateful night Natalia has gone from being arranged to marry Alfonso Rosso to being handed over to Dominic to be his... well she's not only Dominic's but also Sisco's and Joey's. Together the four of the them work on figuring out how their dynamic is going to work out, as well as trying to find out the mysteries that surround them -- to say the truth behind everything is surprising is an understatement!

I have never read anything RH before so I wasn't sure what exactly to expect in how it would work, if one relationship would be just that little bit more than the others. The dynamic between Natalia and every brother is unique and beautiful (not to mention so steamy!), giving and getting something different that they all needed to be a little bit more complete.

Not what I expected. Innocent princess.? Three brothers, and they all want her. Who will get the prize in the end.  Sin and temptation all the way. Betrayal in it's highest form. Who is playing the deadliest game in the end. You need to order this book now. Don't miss out.

Quick read

Mafia romance. YES. Reverse harem. YES. Quick read. YES. This book is addicting from the first page. I absolutely loved Natalia and the Novello brothers chemistry. From their first interaction you feel their connection and desire. This story was a quick read but full of all kinds of mafia drama and steamy sex. Very HOT read.

I really enjoyed this!! I’m still swooning from the steam, the chemistry and interesting premise.
I know it sounds like a cliche but I was truly gripped from the very first page. And this is a biggie for someone that usually doesn’t read this genre. Claire truly is amazing- her writing is so special that it can pull any reader into her books.

I loved Dominic’s character. Something about his personality kept me gripped. Natalia is gorgeous and intriguing and I enjoyed reading from her POV, as she discovers her place in this new kind of relationship.
The concept of reverse harem seems filthy and fascinating to me, haha but I’m not sure the idea of brothers appeals to me. However, the sinister, dangerous mafia world and alluring romance within it definitely does.

Highly recommend this to those that enjoy flawless writing, steamy contemporary romance, the world of mafias and reverse harems. It’s truly a stunning read!



4.7 stars for me, 5 plus stars for those that enjoy this sub-genre!

Loved it! Royal Blood has an awesome storyline full of lies, secrets, deceit, revenge, and passion....all of which keeps you fully engaged until the very end.

It's a fast paced read where the story flows so smoothly that you forget whatever else is going on and just want to keep reading.

All the characters are intriguing and you can't help but want to know what makes them all tick especially the Novello brothers...Dominic, Sisco, and Joey. Three HOT Alphas with very different personalities yet all with the same mindset of protecting their family at all costs and ultimately Natalia as well once she's in their life (and they all fall hard). She was a great heroine and addition to their family....full of strength, courage, and love to give. And WOW on that twist in the epilogue and we learn some of her own secrets.

Highly recommend... especially for lovers of Mafia and RH romance and Super Hot and Steamy scenes!!

Natalia is a mafia princess promised to her father's friend. He's 25 years older than her. Life will intervene when the Novello brothers save her father's life and ask for Natalia as payment. This is a steamy hot reverse harem read with plenty of action in and out of the bedroom.

3.5 - 4 Stars!

Having read Ms.Riley's work once before I've been meaning to pick up more of her books. As soon as I found out that she was releasing a RH story I knew instantly that I had to read this one next! I really liked this story!

Natalia and the Novello brothers journey brought the heat and kept me on my toes! I wasn't sure what all was going to happen with these characters and I really liked that.

With Royal Blood, Ms.Riley has created a good read that'll keep your heart racing and make you blush!

Royal Blood is a quick, steamy and fast paced mafia read that is full of violence and bloodshed and I loved reading it. It is told in a dual POV from Natalia and Dominic.

Natalia is a mafia princess whose father, Frank Costello, has promised her hand since birth to a friend. After Dominic saves his life at a party her father gives her to him and his brothers Sisco and Joey as payment.

The chemistry between Natalia and the brothers is insanely hot and the sex scenes are on fire. I loved the twist at the end and definitely didn’t see it coming.

This is the first RH book that I’ve read and it definitely wasn’t what I expected. I would have liked a chapter from the other brothers to see the events unfolding from their POV as well. I thought it was a brilliant read that leaves you wanting more.
