Coming in hot with another ridiculous mm mafia romance review!

Like The Capo's Boy, I needed Dmitri to be way more crazy... but with that being said, I LOVED this one!

Dmitri sees Eiji dancing at his club and is instantly enthralled. Before they can talk, Eiji disappears. After some investigating, calling and ... erm.... stalking, Dmitri finds out about Eiji's situation and is determined to get him out by any means necessary.

Eiji is basically being held captive by his evil stepmother, who is bleeding his inheritance dry. Throw in three even eviler step brothers, and Eiji is not loving his life. He is also mute, a product of ptsd from an event at 15.

Throw in a SOLD into marriage thing, that's less about the buying and more about the rescuing we get Dima and Eiji falling in love.

This is light on sex, and when there is - it's weird. Like, never when I'm expecting it, and it's almost thrown in as an afterthought.

The story is ridiculous and entertaining, and I PLOWED through this almost 400-page story. I needed to know what happened next.

Next up is the Irish mobster, King. I'll probably read it just to see Vinnie and Dima again. Recommended for mafia fans who like a wild plot, but not unhinged mafia men.
