I didn’t know the house I broke into belonged to a mafioso, and now my revenge arc is a lot more complicated.
7 years ago, I died. Nameless, forgotten, left in a ditch after an overdose. I don’t know who saved me or why. God? Satan? A good Samaritan whose name I'll never know? It doesn't really matter.
I don’t know who I used to be. My name, my past, they were buried. But somehow, I'm still here.
I'm not the only one the Sleepless Reapers have used and abused, but I will be the last, if I have anything to say about it.
I don’t need the attention of a mafioso. Even if Alessio is fun to play with, and even more fun to make beg. But I don’t have time for his devotion or his pretty, breathless pleas.
I have a score to settle, and I can't rest until every last Sleepless Reaper is six feet under.
Alessio makes me feel something other than hatred for the first time that I can remember. He makes me hope one day I might be more than a ghost driven by vengeance. He can’t pull me out of the darkness, but maybe we can keep each other company in the shadows until all our demons are exorcized.
Ghost lurks in the shadows, silently carrying out his own type of vengeance with a side of petty theft to pay his bills. Either fortunately or unfortunately for him, he ended up trying to rob the apartment of a Moretti.
Alessio Moretti tends to hide behind a goofball persona and cracks jokes. He has been a part of the crime family for years and can be just as deadly as the rest of them. But he is shocked to see a menace in his space and is unexpectedly excited about the interaction.
When these two meet, it's intense and turns out much differently than either expected. They seem to be able to see each other despite their usual masks. They start to get under each other's skin and become a bit obsessed.
Ghost has a missing past, demons, and a quest for vengeance. He keeps Alessio on his toes, but Alessio just wants to keep him. They are both a bit psycho, but can appreciate that about the other. But they have some conflicts to deal with, and they are in dangerous business.
I really liked the chemistry and dynamic between these two. They see each other like no one else really does. They give each other what they need, even if it is unconventional. And they make each other feel alive, especially a Ghost that has not felt alive or had emotions for seven years.
It brings back the other dangerous mafiasos and their menaces of partners. I am looking forward to Boss Lorenzo's story next.
Deadly Little Sparrow
Is there such thing as love at first bar fight?
I may be small and pretty, but what I lack in intimidation factor, I make up for in violence.
I made a vow five years ago that the motorcycle club responsible for my brother’s death would pay the price, and I’m finally ready to collect. May God have mercy on the men who hurt my brother, because I don’t plan to.
Accidentally breaking the nose of the deadliest man in the city wasn’t my best move. Xaviaro Saviano, trigger man for the Moretti Crime Family... and now my own personal stalker. But if I have to go through him to deliver well-deserved justice, so be it.
As strange as it sounds, Xaviaro seems to want to help me more than he wants to hurt me. I can’t shake the man no matter what I do. Threatening him feels like foreplay, tying him up only turns him on… I could play nice, but that’s never been my strong suit.
I’d be lying if I said he wasn’t starting to grow on me, especially when he calls me his Deadly Little Sparrow from his knees. I’ve never met a man who could handle me, let alone one who can’t stop begging me for more.
Beautifully Savage Butterfly
(Mafia Bound #2)
Kim's review
Being savage in the ring is one thing. The way Elio Moretti craves my violence outside the ring is another.
I feel like I’ve been fighting my whole life, and tapping out has never been an option.
I can live with owing money to the Morettis. I can even live with the constant guilt that my brother is the one paralyzed in a hospital bed while I live his dream. What I can’t live with is Elio Moretti, second in command to the infamous crime family, showing up to all my fights, sitting in the front row, watching me like he can’t look away, and barging into the locker room to patch up my wounds and invade my space.
The Morettis are monsters. Vicious, brutal sociopaths. So, why is Elio so eager to get on his knees for me?
He’s as desperate to give up control as I am to take it, but is giving in to these primal urges enough of a reason to sell my soul?
He claims there are worse people in this city than his family, and the deeper I get dragged into his world, the more true that’s starting to seem. Can I really fall in love with a Mafia underboss? Is it even possible to walk away?
Unhinged Little Angel
Kim's review
Forcing Salvatore Moretti to marry me at gunpoint isn’t the craziest thing I've ever done...
I hate being desperate, being scared. It's a filthy, helpless feeling. I'd much rather be enraged, violent… unhinged.
Salvatore watches me dance and calls me Angioletto, his little angel. He doesn't know the demons that haunt me. He's too blinded by my beauty to see the blood on my hands. Then again, he's a mafia capo, so maybe the blood wouldn't bother him anyway.
My past is like fire licking at my heels, ready to consume me. But Sal won't let that happen, he’ll protect me. He has to.
I learned a long time ago not to trust anyone but myself. It's dangerous the way he manages to unravel all of my defenses and turn me from a guarded Dom into the submissive brat I've never felt safe enough to be. It's terrifying the way I'm starting to crave him.
I wasn't sure I would live long enough to worry about this marriage starting to feel real, but this well-dressed mafioso might just manage to save my life after all. We can argue about divorce once the threat is neutralized I suppose. And in the meantime, he is my husband, I might as well enjoy the perks…
Desperately Delicate Viper
Mafia Bound Book 4
Kim's review
That Feeling when the man you just robbed and left tied up and blindfolded turns out to be in the mafia…
I'm not proud of the things I've had to do for money to pay off my dad's debts and put my younger brother through college. But I'll never regret it.
What I do regret is accidentally robbing a Moretti.
Having to look over my shoulder and ducking every time a car backfires is bad enough, but when the man in question starts costing me business? Yeah, I think we’re going to have a problem.
I never knew I could feel the way I do when Luca Moretti gets on his knees for me, but I don’t have time to be romanced by this obsessed, submissive, mafioso.
No one has ever made me feel as strong and capable as he does. Can I really be the viper he sees me as? If I learn how to bite, can I finally make my life my own with Luca Moretti at my side?
Author K.M.Neuhold is a complete romance junkie, a total sap in every way. She started her journey as an author in new adult, MF romance, but after a chance reading of an MM book she was completely hooked on everything about lovely- and sometimes damaged- men finding their Happily Ever After together. She has a strong passion for writing characters with a lot of heart and soul, and a bit of humor as well. And she fully admits that her OCD tendencies of making sure every side character has a full backstory will likely always lead to every book having a spin-off or series. When she’s not writing she’s a lion tamer, an astronaut, and a superhero…just kidding, she’s likely watching Netflix and snuggling with her husky while her amazing husband brings her coffee.
