Nico Vitale

The girl I fell in love with was ripped from my arms, never to be heard from again.

She was sold to the cruelest man on the planet, Constantine Carbone—my family’s number one enemy.

Over the years, I haven’t stopped looking for Selina.

And then one fateful night, I finally find her.

In a move that will undoubtedly bring war upon my family, I save Selina, killing Constantine’s son in the process.

I soon come to realize that Selina is nothing like the girl I once fell in love with, but none of that matters.

She’s mine.

She’s always been mine.

And when her past comes back to haunt her, threatening to steal her away from me again, I vow to do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

This time I’m not letting her go.

Author's note: Keeping My Girl is Nico Vitale’s story, and although it is a standalone, it would be better enjoyed after listening to Keeping My Bride.

This book is fantastic, the storyline is exciting and intense. I love how the trauma doesn’t define this leading lady. A wonderful performance.

I missed the first book in this series but from this I got a lot of enjoyment. Lina and Nico were childhood friends before Lina disappeared for about a decade and when they get back together it's go fo fo. There's potentially triggering material contained within so be careful. 3.5 stars

Can't wait to read more

Nico has been looking for Selina since she left his home. As teenagers, they were in love and when she went missing, he never gave up looking for her. He never thought he would find her in his family's enemies clutches! Now he has her back, and after all she has been through, she is still the one for him. The two work through so much as she learns to live without fear. But does she ever really relax and find that ease? Loving Nico is easy, but the fear of being taken again is always in the back of her mind. Angela Snyder finds a way to crawl into my mind as these two get back together. I constantly was on edge waiting for the shoe to drop and when it does, and I know I wasn't prepared for the results. Now I need the next book! I am so happy for Nico and Lena, but I am still worried for what is to come. Cannot wait to hear it!

Alan Stone and Stella Rose give a fantastic performance as Nico and Selina. Stone as Nico is warm, patient and loving when it comes to his woman. He pulls out the d anger when it comes to anyone who is after her. Rose is fabulous as Selina. She is strong yet vulnerable, trusting yet scared. I love the way she finds the bravery in Lena. Together they create an amazing listen.

Action packed & romance! SO GOOD!!

This is the second book in the Keeping What’s Mine series, and while you don’t have to read/listen to book one to follow this story, I highly recommend it for the full experience. The first book focuses on the parents of the MMC, and since Nico was just a child at the end of that book, there’s a big time jump between the two. Now, Nico is a grown man, fully immersed in his father’s underground mafia empire. Nico and Selena originally met as children, but Selena is tragically taken and ends up in the hands of Constantine Carbone, the family’s arch enemy and a character also introduced in book one. Carbone is a known human trafficker, and Nico’s team is tasked with dismantling those rings while helping survivors rebuild their lives. A chance encounter at a club brings Nico and Selena back together, and from there, their second-chance love story begins. The narrators were fantastic and brought the story to life beautifully.

Highlights I Loved:

1) The Slow Burn Romance – Snyder doesn’t rush her characters into bed. Instead, she gives them space to build a connection rooted in healing and trust.
2) Sensitive Handling of Trauma – Selena is a survivor of SA, and while the book avoids graphic detail, there are close calls and mentions of past trauma that may be triggering for some readers. Please check trigger warnings before diving in.
3) A Dark Romance with Heart – Though it falls into the dark romance genre due to the subject matter, this isn’t your typical “alphahole mafia hero” story. Nico is strong but respectful, and the narrative focuses on love, healing, and second chances.

If you’re looking for a mafia romance that leans heavily into violence, toxicity, or overly dark intimacy, this isn’t the one for you. But if you want a heartfelt love story grounded in resilience, respect, and a solid storyline, this book delivers.

Great continuation of the series

I'm going to be honest, listening to this book right after finishing Keeping My Bride made me all sorts of weird. 😂
Slight spoiler: It felt weird listening to Nico doing the things he was after just having heard him being a toddler at the end of book 1.
Anyways, I was expecting Nico to be about as ruthless as his father Luca but I didn't get that. Sure he has the whole protective thing going on which I love but thought he would be 'meaner'.
This story was so amazing. Showing trauma like it did and the healing part which a lot of books tend to skip over or not do such a good job of portraying was done really good here.
Love this story and both Nico and Selina.
