Reckoning: Blood and Honor Series Book 4 Paperback – November 21, 2015
Purchase options and add-ons
"There were several heart-stopping moments and times when you just didn't know how and if everything could work out, while having all of the favorite characters come out on top. I also loved how this book ended and would definitely be interested in reading another book (or two) from this series. As per usual, the book was meticulously thought-out, researched, planned & executed. Dana Delamar may have taken longer to release this book than she (and her fans) had expected, but she also didn't stop until the book was flawless & perfect." -- Jennifer G., Amazon reviewer
"5 stars = I freaking LOVED this book!!!... The final showdown - The Reckoning - was unreal and full of surprises I wasn't expecting. I loved the ending that Delamar crafted, even if it appears to be the series end as well. While it does read as though Reckoning is the final book in the Blood and Honor series, I would not be disappointed to see additional installments written. Nope, not one bit. I have loved this series from the first novella, Malavita, to this one and I'm not ready to say goodbye." -- Angela S Goodrich, Crystal's Many Reviewers blog
RUGGERO VELA
All I’ve ever been, all I’ll ever be, is a hitman. An enforcer for the Lucchesi family. It’s what my father did before me. It’s what I’ll do until the day I die, just like my father did.
And it’s all I deserve.
I don’t deserve a wife and kids. I don’t deserve a family.
Not when I destroyed my own.
And I especially don’t deserve her, the beautiful anti-Mafia judge who holds my boss’s fate in her hands. The judge who’d never look at me with anything but loathing.
Not even when I save her life.
LOREDANA MONTISI
Mafia thugs killed my father in front of me when I was a child. It’s why I followed in his footsteps. It’s why I swore to uphold the law, why I’m renowned for holding Mafiosos to account.
No matter the risks. No matter the consequences.
Even if my job cost me the fiancé I’d planned to spend the rest of my life with.
And now I’ve got the chance to take down Enrico Lucchesi, a mobster who’s made himself nearly untouchable. A man who’s defied justice. A man who murdered a judge very much like my father.
Lucchesi will not escape justice this time.
I will not be intimidated by Lucchesi’s enforcer, a man who stalks me like prey. A man I don’t dare take my eyes off of. A man who tells me I’m a pawn in a game so vast, I can hardly comprehend it. A man I don’t believe.
Until I do.

"I have been along for this ride since the beginning and all I can say is WOW!!!... Ruggero and Loredana's love scenes make the reader reach for a glass or water and beg to trade places with her.... Dana pulled me into this before unknown world of the MOB with her first book, Revenge and she has kept me there. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be along for the ride and see these characters grow and make tough decisions and fight for what THEY believe in and for love that may or may not want to be loved. You cannot go wrong with Reckoning, well, only if you don't dive in and hold on tight." -- MommanCali, Amazon reviewer

By: Dana Delamar
5/5 stars
Ruggero Vela has been one of my absolute favorite side characters in this series since book one. He has such a dry, witty and sarcastic sense of humor. I love the insight that he’s been able to give to not only Don Lucchesi, but also Nick & Antonia and even the women. I love his loyalty to the Lucchesi family cosca and the families within it. I love his fearless protection of Enrico & Kate. Even though he knows that he will more than likely die in the line of duty, he never balks to do what is asked of him.
Judge Loredana Montisi is known to be an anti-mafia judge who is strict and deals out harsh punishments to those involved in the mafia. She has a very good reason to be incorruptible, unable to be bribed or paid off. Both of her parents were judges as well and had been attacked by mafia gunmen. Seeing Ruggero in her courtroom is more than a little disconcerting with his imposing presence, but she refuses to back down. Ruggero also likes that she is a strong woman who will not be bullied.
But there are dark and sinister forces that are driving the Enrico Lucchesi case from behind the scenes. At the end of book 3, we saw Lorenzo making the calls to get Lucchesi arrested. But now, we learn why he did what he did and made the calls that he made. It all boils down to nothing but greed, for more money and more power. He has already proved in previous books that he’s going to do whatever it takes to accomplish his goals. So the judge’s life is in danger if she doesn’t fall for the frame of Enrico.
There were several heart-stopping moments and times when you just didn’t know how and if everything could work out, while having all of the favorite characters come out on top. I also loved how this book ended and would definitely be interested in reading another book (or two) from this series.
As per usual, the book was meticulously though-out, researched, planned & executed. Dana Delamar may have taken longer to release this book than she (and her fans) had expected, but she also didn’t stop until the book was flawless & perfect.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2020I love the Blood and Honor series. I can't wait to continue reading all the books Dana Delamar will write in this series. I love mafia romance, and Dana's research and knowledge of what she writes makes these stories seem so authentic. I'm glad Ruggero got his happily ever after, and I do thoroughly enjoy his character. His loyalty and dedication to guarding Don Luccesi is very admirable. He's a hard working man who loves and adores his wife, a real, genuine love. And I loved it. I can't wait to start Malavita.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2020This was a good installment of blood & honor series, I hope there's another. I would like to know about Enrico & Kate's baby, as well as Dario & Ilaria's baby and all the rest of them. It was a bumpy ride for Ruggero & Loredanna. From their meeting, Ruggero thinking him incapable of loving someone, talk about surprising. That Lorenzo what a nasty piece of work that old man was, no love for his family only greedy, selfish desires at the expense of his family. I loved the series from Antonio & Bianca, Nick & Delfina, Enrico & Kate & him and Toni's story to. That man had a troubled life and happy to see things turn round for him & Ruggero.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015Once again, Dana Delamar has delivered gold! I have waited impatiently for this 4th book in the series to be released. It was so worth it! I gobbled it up the day it was released.....I went back a second time because I was afraid that I missed something. Just as good the second time. The characters are developed, honest, complex and HOT!! I stumbled upon the first first book when it was first released. I am thrilled that I did. I have become a loyal fan and wait in anticipation for future work from her. I have recommended this book as well as the 3 prior books to many people and none have been disappointed. Thank for sharing this fantastic work with us!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022Get ready for Mafia vs judge, death threats, revenge, conspiracy, violent schemes, passion and betrayal. This is Ruggero and Loredana's action-packed, bloody tale.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2019The characters were so relatable. The storylines were Mesmerizing and I couldn’t put the books down. Please write more of these wonderful stories.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2015I've felt like I've waited forever for this book and I don't know what I was expecting but this story/characters wasn't it. I still enjoyed it but it's written as if the series is over. The only thing was this book felt like it was "distant" from the other books of the series...like...I can't explain it...it was an enjoyable read, but to me it felt more like a stand alone book, not really belonging to part of a series. I've enjoyed this series a great deal...you won't be disappointed.
