Another age gap, mafia, quick read, with an obsessed hero, a heroine in danger, and a never-ending happy ending, with the 🔥 spice and breeding factor specific for this series.
✔️ age gap (21 h , 41 H)
✔️ he saw her, instantly fell for her, and then stalked her for the past 3 years, binding his time until she'd be out of her brother's supervision
✔️ he saves her by kidnapping her, and then the rest is history 🥵
✔️ HEA
I liked this one, 3rd one in a row I read from this series, and probably that's why I felt the pace off. Even though everything happened in the span of two days 🤷♀️😂. But in the end, I loved how obsessed and overprotective he was, but also he just wanted to support her in reaching her dreams.
Their happy ending and epilogue were adorable, even though no 15 months old baby talks like that! So I chose to think that the epilogue is at least 3 years later, not only 2 😂.

"The picture of a queen.
My queen. Fuck, but I’m proud of her." 🥰
"I’m her slave and she has no idea." -- and that he was 🥵🤩
" “You’re sleeping in my bed,” he tells me and his gruff voice is a warm caress over my whole body. “You’re mine. That means I will have you with me every minute of our one day together, even when we’re asleep.”
He sounds obsessed. Unhinged. And damn, but… I like it. A lot." --- what's not to like 🤭🔥
"“Nothing makes me happier than taking care of you.”" 🥹🥰

A quick, instalove with ridiculous dialogue but ok to pass time.

5/5 🌟 3/5 🔥
"I'm going to indulge every depraved and filthy fantasy with you, sweetheart. I'm going to make you dirty and you'll love it."
Wow, this might be my favorite Evie Rose novella yet! I love mafia kingpins. I love how obsessive, possessive, and controlling they are. Grant was no different! Jessa was a little stronger than most mafia princesses I've read about, but that didn't change the fact that they are FIRE when they get together!
"You are not leaving this bed until you're full of my come and have agreed to marry me."
Jessa has plans. She's being forced to marry someone she doesn't love so she comes up with a plan to live on the other side of the world to escape her domineering brother. Only, the plan is ruined and who comes to her rescue? The mafia kingpin. Someone she had seen from afar for the past three years... but now, his eyes are only on hers.
His love is a cashmere robe. So light and soft I didn't even realize I was wearing it and it was keeping me warm. I thought I was naked and vulnerable but all this time I was wrapped in the most luxurious care.
I can't wait to see what Evie Rose writes next. <3
SAFETY:
Ages: 21h, 40+H
Virgin/celibate: virgin heroine, celibate hero
Tropes: age gap, mafia, instalove
Triggers: violence, dubcon, kidnapping, death of side character
Kinks: dirty talk, bondage, primal play, praise, dubcon
HEA?: Yes!
My bookshelves may contain spoilers.

Okay, let’s keep it real, this one was pretty “meh” for me, compared to the others from this series that I’ve read so far.
The plot felt underbaked, the spice was lukewarm at best. If the premise still sounds interesting to you and you’re looking for something with actual heat and heart, i would recommend skipping this.
2,5⭐️Not the worst but far from memorable.

Quick morally grey smut
October 6, 2023
Honestly where was the plot. This book had be roll my eyes so many times. All the gratuitous sex scenes would have been okay if there was a decent storyline. Not for me.

Quick smut.

”I’ll chase you down and take you back.” He says against my delicate inner arm his stubble scraping, “You’re mine now and I’ll die without you. Don’t leave Jessa.” He sounds undone and I love that.
For those itching for a Beauty & The Beast Mafia story, this one is for you! I had the honor of receiving this book for free during one of the most recent Stuff Your Kindle events. It was incredibly enjoyable and well worth the author also did a great job at maintaining the characters throughout the story (strong female lead). Though the ending felt a bit rushed, I was excited to hear there’s an extra chapter!

This was a quick smutty mafia novella but the dialogue was a bit…. Cringe at times and it took me out in those moments 🙃

Saucy
Kinda reminded me of that Netflix movie where the mafia boss obsessed over a woman and basically stole her from her deadbeat boyfriend.

This book took me for a twist and a wild ride. Loved it!
April 11, 2025
I listened to the audiobook adaptation. However, Goodreads doesn’t have said adaptation available on their platform.. that’s why I went for the Paperback edition instead.
A forced mafia marriage? Okay, I was intrigued. The set-up had all the potential for some fiery tension and power play, but… whew. This one veered into bizarre territory fast.
Look, I like my alphas intense, but this one? Someone hose the man down, please. And I mean, writing your initials in your own cum on her body? That’s not dominance, that’s… dermatologically concerning.
There were glimpses of spice, sure, but the whole thing felt like a fever dream I couldn’t quite recall afterward. It’s like I blinked and the plot disappeared along with any emotional connection. I wanted mafia heat, not mafia whiplash.
This just wasn’t it for me, love.

This was so hot in the most short and sweet way! The blurbs for all her other books read exactly the same as this. So I’m unlikely to read more of her books, or at least not right away. But this was all the praise kink, and obsessed hero stuff in a short enough span for it to not get tiring. Also - it’s wayyyy more respectful than most books with the same premise. Was actually quite impressed to see how it balanced that. So yeah - good fun.

loved this mafia morally gray hero romance
Jessa is supposed to be marrying a man her brother arranged for her but she has plans to escape. When she does she finds that she runs into Grant who kidnaps her. Grant is the Mafia King and has been stalking her for years. He gives her an ultimatum get to his front door before him and he’ll let her go. Fast paced steamy read with a great morally gray hero and I loved it.

“It’s nothing compared to your eyes. A pale imitation. Merely the best money can buy. Beauty like yours must be stolen.” 😭😭😭
Definitely my favorite in the series. Loved their banter and passion. Plus the well timed humor. Despite the story's length the characters had a good connection. Grant was swoon worthy, and Jessa didn't get on my nerves 😂.
The spice was well written, and the ending was chef's kiss.
And the audiobook is amazing!

Run!
I thought this installment of the series had a hero that was the perfect mix of sweet and hot. I mean, some primal play by playing chase to gamble her freedom? Yes please. He’s loved her and watched over her for years? Swoon. He’s terrified she’ll still choose to leave him? My heart breaks! I love this series in general but there are some of these books that just hit all my boxes.

Short insta love/obsession read.
If you want to complete a reading challenge then this one will help you get there.
It's steam filled and drama as well, with not much mafia involved. Like the second in command we don't even get to see him, but he isn't even there, so that's useless information. Especially in such a short story as this one.

6 stars! One of those rare 5-star reads that takes you by surprise.
November 1, 2023
This book has about 10 pages of plot and 85 of sex. She calls her kitty, her “passage” only 5 times in the entire read but it’s going to feel like she said it 100 times.
In hindsight, I should I known this was going to be smut. Honestly it was my first stuff my kindle day and I got tunnel vision…

I did enjoy this story. Grant and Jessa are wonderful together. There was a few times I was a little confused in the beginning, but I held on and finished the book. I do recommend this book.

Cute novella with OTT obsessed mafia boss
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the story by Evie Rose, as I laughed more (and louder) with Accidentally Kidnapping the Mafia Boss
🔥🔥🔥🔥 for the performances by Jill Smith and John York🎙️
I first started reading Evie Rose's novellas 2024 (most before I started reviewing on Goodreads) and I discovered her audiobooks in 2025.
This is a cute novella, ideal as palate cleanser (equivalent of mindless TV 🤣).
Here are my personal recommendations:
📕His Public Claim her innocence is sold to the highest bidder at an auction
🎧Accidentally Kidnapping the Mafia Boss hilarious romcom with D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. narration
Anyhoo... back to this novella...
My favorite quotes:
What it is about:
A short and spicy instalove romance, starring an obsessed billionaire and the innocent girl who never dared dream of him.
What you need to know:
📚standalone, part of the London Mafia Bosses series
🫂dual POV, 1st person
🎙️dual narration
⏰novella (3h and 9min)
🔚epilogue (married with toddler)
🔚a 12-minute bonus epilogue via the author's website
💕instalove, he falls first, he falls harder
👀OTT obsessed, he has been watching her for 3 years
🖤mafia boss x interior designer
