Mafia Lust: JJ & Lena's story. Standalone Age Gap Forbidden Romance (The Sovranos)

Product Information

Now if you're concerned about age gaps Bianca is 21 and I'm pretty sure Callum is in his early 40's if I remember correctly. I didn't even realize this was the first type of book like this I've read until I was reading a very very smutty pool scene ;). I remember looking away from the book full on blushing and laughing, saying something along the lines of "OMG this is so naughty" and then it hit me. THIS IS A FIRST!!!!

This is a story about a H who is the billionaire owner of Kane Company and head of the organized crime syndicate and his business dealings are intertwined with the Sovranos and the Seven. The H is an executive assistant and.... JJ is the reason I finished this book. He's a jealous, possessive, over the top, manipulative, book boyfriend. I know I know you're gonna say something along the lines of "OMG KK isn't that wrong?" but listen this is dark romance, we leave our morals at the door. And if the pregnancy trope is a deal breaker for you she doesn't end up pregnant at the end of this book.... at least that we know of ;) With each book, Steele creates captivating plots and characters that draw readers in and keep them hooked. Her works have become fan favorites, with each new release eagerly anticipated. With more works in the pipeline, Steele is sure to continue her success in the romance genre.

Form alliances with other gangs and crime lords as you fight to conquer the territories around you. Gather your guns and armies and go to war for each other, battling other alliances and wanna-be gangster bosses who get in the way of your rise to the top of the food chain!

Father Edward Chase is a hot, brooding priest haunted by his past. Ava is a belly dancer trying to carve out a future for her studio. Despite the attraction between them, Edward refuses to give in to temptation and put anything before his calling. Ava is determined to make him fall for her, until she discovers his secret. This leads them both to confront the issues Edward has been running away from his entire life. Lena is the reason I almost DNF multiple times. Immature. Indecisive. Brat. I was not looking for a brat, but I sure found one. I also really felt like her ethnicity was shoved into the book for inclusivity’s sake rather than it being culturally important to the character. It felt weird and awkward and served no purpose. I'm a big fan of inclusivity, but not performative inclusivity. Silver Fox Alpha falls for his son's girlfriend and they all do the dirty together. It fixes everything wrong in their lives.Mafia Lust” is a modern masterpiece, a powerful novel that can be read on its own. This novel is written by L. Steele.

I didn't even *like* Isaac and could not understand the pull he had with Lena. Apparently *spoiler*... Multiple Instances brings true multitasking to Android. No more long reloads and reaching every time you want to switch between apps. You can even manage multiple Legend City accounts at the same time on one computer! For the past 5 years Callum Torrino is all Bianca has thought about. Fantasized about. What she would do to make him hers. But he is her best friend’s dad and that kind of makes him off limits. Until one night… And oh what a night. The ending was severely abrupt and the ebook 'end' is at 91%. The rest is just a teaser of the next book and I won't be reading it so I didn't hit the 100% mark.I also felt it dragged just beyond the midway point. It wasn't really about JJ and Lena anymore. It was about their friends that I didn't care about anyway. The romance was a blazing inferno of lust and everything forbidden. And it doesn’t even matter that Callum is a very bad man with a horrible past and present; Bianca can’t stop the feelings she has for him even if she wanted to. They are both too far gone. There's a particular scene...with three people. And I found the idea of the three of them doing that ludicrous. As well as it 'healing their fractured relationship'. I set down the book and put it away for a few days and nope, it still doesn't resonate with me at all. But Callum has his dark secrets. And once Bianca sees the real him will she stay or run as far as she possibly can? With a writing style that is truly unique, her stories continue to offer something for everyone. Readers can’t help but be drawn in by her stories, making them captivating and unforgettable.
