Wow Poppy, thanks for building me up, having me on the edge and then ending it on that note lol. I didn’t even realize I was on the last page either, which made it worse lmao!!!!! Ugh I’m going to cry because part two isn’t here yet!! What a good read!!! 

Look before you dive into this I highly suggest checking the CW and your triggers because this book has some dark themes, heavy on degradation/humiliation kink, owner/master/pet kink and a whole bunch more!! So if that’s not your thing I don’t suggest picking this up. But if it is please dive in because it’s so worth it!!!!
 
Whewwwwww this is a steamy, spicy, kinky, dark why choose mafia story!! We’ve got the beautiful mafia princess, single mom that will do absolutely any and everything to keep her daughter Lizzie safe!! In comes Dante, a sexy, scary, crazy, possessive, degrading, controlling dominate master who wants nothing more then to get his reavenge and to own and control his kitten! Nick, (Nico) mmmmmm Dr Nico you sweet, controlling, praise giving, pleasure daddy dom I can’t wait to see what you’re holding back in the dom department with your baby girl!!! Lorenzo, the brothers best friend, has loved Sofia for ever, he is sweet, caring and will always protect his Sunshine no matter what, he’s seems like he’s got a rough side to him and can't wait to see him come out and play in part two! 

Side note…….Dear everything that is holy I need Dante and Nick to happen please and add Lorenzo of course lol!!
