They say violent delights have violent ends. They'll have to get through me first.

Juliet

My world is small and predictable—that's how I've designed it. It doesn't extend beyond my tiny studio apartment, the local bagel shop, and the bookstore I manage.

So, when a mysterious man crashes into the shop late one night while I'm doing inventory, I should be terrified. But I've never reacted normally to danger. And this man is as dangerous as they come… at least, for my heart.

Romeo

The Mafia is my family—the only thing I've ever known and all I've ever needed.

Until her. Our worlds aren't meant to collide. My life is darkness, and she is light, but I can't stay away any longer.

When her life is in danger, the darkness within me bursts to the forefront. We might be star-crossed lovers, but no one will keep me from my Juliet.

His Juliet is a spicy, dual first-person POV mafia romance with an age gap, hurt/comfort, mental illness rep, and jealous/possessive hero obsessed with his girl. This book is a standalone that ends in an HEA. For mature listeners. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

Critic Reviews

“Rossi delivers a smoldering dark romance . . . Mafia romance fans will eat this up.” — Publishers Weekly on His Tesoro

“His Empress consumed me. Emilia Rossi knew what she was doing with this man and this story, and I happily fell for every single second of it.” —Kristin Cast, #1 New York Times–bestselling coauthor of the House of Night series, on His Empress

“Emilia is a master at instilling gripping emotion, making her characters living, breathing people. I feel their suffering and their joy. She’s an expert storyteller and His Empress is her best yet!” —Kristen Proby, New York Times–bestselling author of Loving Cara, on His Empress

“The perfect hurt/comfort, high-heat mafia romance. Sienna sparkles as the perfect match to the broody, complex Dimitri. You truly get it all with them—intense chemistry, angst, and grovel to complete devotion. Emilia balances warmth, humor and found family in a dark world so beautifully.” —Eliana Lee, USA Today–bestselling author of A Pack for Summer and The Scent of Us, on His Empress

“Emilia Rossi writes scorching hot mafia romance with compelling characters you can’t help but love. The ideal ratio of heat, heart, and suspense— His Empress is an amazing addition to her catalog.” —Allie Oleander, author of Prey for Me, on His Empress

“Sienna and Dimitri had me in a chokehold from the start! His Empress is an emotional rollercoaster that will have you cheering, screaming, crying, and desperate for more.” —Mina Myles, author of The Devil and Her Details, on His Empress

“Dark, devastating, and positively debauched in the best way. Rossi delivers another addictive mafia romance that will leave you breathless.” —Michelle Love, author of Kaelen, on His Empress

Good second book in the series. I liked the writing and enjoyed catching up with familiar characters. I found the female narrator's choice of voice for the mfc a bit grating, but that's my personal opinion, the male narrator was very good. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

I liked it

How is this the same author as His Tesoro?! I loved the first book!
Juliet is a weak, complaining and uninspiring character who never gets an arc that sees her gaining strength over her traumas. I was annoyed listening to her pathetic musings and skipped sections to get through the book.
Romeo was built up in the first book and a fun-loving & cheeky character, but none of that was here.
I am in shock with how much I found this boring, repetitive and unsexy.

So disappointed

The male narrator was excellent but that female role was just too wimpy to enjoy … as a strong woman I struggled with how babyish she was uhg … but good story overall

A too saccharine performance
