Romano Mafia Brothers #1
Le Maître de la mafia
Depuis mon enlèvement, je n’ai qu’un seul fantasme : qu’il m’attache à son lit.
Kane Romano est l'homme le plus séduisant et le plus puissant que je connaisse, mais aussi celui qui me retient captive.
Mon salaud de beau-père a choisi le mauvais camp mais la mafia ne l’entend pas de cette oreille. Désormais dans le pétrin jusqu’au cou, il n’a rien de trouvé de mieux que de m’offrir en échange pour sauver sa peau. De quel droit ? J'ai dix-huit ans et mon beau-père n’a pas son mot à dire.
Seul hic… Kane Romano a accepté. Tout le monde sait qu'on ne lutte pas contre un Romano, à moins de vouloir finir dans la fosse commune.
Je devrais flipper mais je me sens en sécurité et protégée lorsque je contemple ses yeux noirs. Dans l’intimité, c'est un parfait gentleman ; en présence de tiers, il devient glacial et mutique.
J’avoue qu’être ici avec lui m’excite. Je n'ai jamais couché avec un mec mais je me surprends à désirer cet homme deux fois plus âgé que moi, qui prétend que je lui appartiens désormais.
Quand il me demande de l'appeler maître, je sais qu’il me sera difficile de refuser...

Meh. No plot. TONS of grammar issues. I barely made it through and only because it was 188 pages. And the smut was just okay.

Mafia age gap
I did like it, steammmmmy for sure, but only gave 3 because a little rushed, I think if it could’ve been drawn out or give a little more twists, but still interesting.

This was a good read and my first time reading this author. Kane Romano came into the club owned by Alex Cavino because Alex was behind in his payments. Kane is a mob enforcer for his brother Rick and he noticed how crowded and how well the club was doing, but Alex missing from his club. Behind the bar he see a beautiful young woman and another bartender. She was actually underage for working in a bar as she was under 21 Jasmine is the step-daughter of Alex working at the bar to pay for her room and board. When Kane catches up with him Alex he offeres up Jasmine as part of his missed payments. Kane takes her with him and she is dumbfounded that her step-dad would do this to her. Jasmine thinks Kane is one of the most handsome and powerful men she had ever met. Kane was always conflicted about being in the mafia and would have rather been an accountant but his dad had other plans for him and his brothers. This was a good read that I liked. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Her Mafia Daddy
Kane and Jasmine are so cute. This is sorta a insta love book but they developed so well. I loved the mafia aspect and how brutal Kane was but also how gentle and loving he was with Jasmine. This would been an even better book if it was 150-200 pages more, but it was great how it was. Will definitely read more from this author.
Tropes: mafia, instalove, she calls him daddy, bondage, kidnapping, loss of parents, past trauma, assault

Kane (H) and his family have given Alex time and again to give them back their money.. so they take Jasmine (h) his Step-daughter as prisoner and as for Kane.. he feels something for her but with everyone around he is bossy as fk and cold..
But when they are alone he is softer and sweet and he makes her call him daddy.. and she does but she doesnt give up she does run away from him she puts on a good fight to get away from this guy..
And I'm shocked that he let her go gave her money to leave and run away from the life and him..
But she can't she wants him and she gives into him. But things arent happy they still have to deal with her step father who re-kidnapped her for ransom and Kane is going to hunt and find his girl.
No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary chara, drama, virgin gal & no manwhore

Deliciously Hot!
Previously reviewed as an ARC. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a dirty, over-the-top alpha male and a woman with spunk. Kane is deliciously hot and dominant. The chemistry with Jasmine makes it even hotter! This isn't as dark as most mafia romances but it is sizzling.

A great read. Although the way they met was uncommon, this was a mafia story after all. Gladly it was not as violet as I thought. Liked how soon both H and accpeted the feeling they had toward each other.

Age gap trope, he’s 44 & she’s 18 😳🤭
Kane attends the bar with the intention of killing Jasmine’s step-father as he owes them (the mafia brothers- Romano brothers) money which he hasn’t been paying since the last two months. Jasmine works there as a bartender and catches Kane’s eye and as soon as her step father offers to take her up and not kill him, Kane accepts the offer as he wanted Jasmine. What he didn’t knew was Jasmine is a virgin, Kane is rough in bed iykyk 😉 but omggg what a gentleman he was for her *too cute and hot* 😍😍😍 a pretty quick read, my first book from the author and I enjoyed it so far, and am looking forward to complete the series :)

I have no idea why I have hoped this book will be different and tried again this author. To say I am deeply disappointed will be lie of the century. So much fast paced, meaningless, with barest minimum plots. It's crazy!

This was so hot! Kane was so fucking sexy. He was also, weirdly, sweet with Jasmine.
I would have loved to know better Ethan, and Leo and Rick in this book.

Ai fratelli Romano non si nega nulla. Mai. E' una regola...
Jasmine è una giovane ragazza diciottenne che ha la vita davanti, ma il suo stronzo di patrigno le nega anche questo, dandola come polizza assicurativa a Kane. Il mafioso di cui tutti hanno paura.
Ma ciò che scopre dopo la sorprende.
Lui è diverso. E' dolce con lei anche se deciso. E' paziente e ha un'anima buona. Fuori davanti al mondo deve mantenere la maschera fredda del cattivo, ma tra le 4 mura della camera da letto e del castello dei Romano, lui è se stesso. E solo con lei o i suoi fratelli (che hanno una loro storia <3 ).
Ma il passato è sempre dietro l'angolo... Il patrigno manterrà la parola di star lontano da lei?
Una bella storia mafiosa come piacciono a me. Sensuale, Un bel po' Kinky, romantica e passionale!
I personaggi sono ben descritti e hanno dei caratteri decisi. Duro e violenti quando serve.
Meritano un bel 4 stelle per questa storia d'amore!

After being totally in love with Little Dove and hooked on the daddy trope again, my horny self thought it would be a good idea to specifically search a new book with similiar tropes - in this case mafia and daddy.
And I found it, but sadly it was just meh. no plot, smut was okay but way too insta and unbelievable. I don't know.
Maybe my expectations were just too high - If you are in the mood for a little easy mafia smut, I guess it's okay. If you are looking for more, search elsewhere. ( And read Little Dove if you haven't already - so good!)

This is a great story. I couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next in the story. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series by this author.
You don’t mess with the Romano family. Jasmine’s stepfather did that and then offer her as part of the payment. Kane has done a lot of things he is not proud of but he isn’t going to give up Jasmine. There is something about her that draws him. Will she be able to handle what he does?

Good story.
I wasn’t sure how this story was going to pan out but I’m glad with how it did. Kane and Jasmine were so good together once they finally stopped fighting it and communicated. Add in some mafia drama, and it was definitely a page turner, with the sweetest ending. If you love Instalove stories and mafia romance I’d def say to read this.

Jasmine’s step-dad offers her to Kane in exchange for his life. Sparks soon fly between this older alpha and young virgin. This is a fast-paced read with lots of steam and great characters the story drew me in from beginning to end. I loved it.

Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were great. There are a lot of twists and turns, hot steamy sex and a lot of action to go with the story of Jasmine and Kane and his family the Romano's.

Beautiful love story
A beautiful love story that will melt your heart. It does have some violence included but it's over shadowed by the chemistry and love between the characters. A very nice read

I wanted to read this book because of the Mafia theme.
I didn't think the book will be so steamy and more focused on the fulfillment of a man's fantasy about a younger girl calling him daddy.
Definitely not for me. I will be more carefull next time.

SUMMARY: (SPOILER WARNING)
Kane is on a job to give a warning to a man who has been missing his payments to his family when he sees the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on. She captures him in a way he never has been before. And when the man he came to kill begs for his life and offers the same woman (who turns out to be the guy's stepdaughter) as payment, he can't resist having her for himself.
But as they get to know each other, Kane finds himself letting her see a softer side of him that he doesn't let anyone else see. And Jasmine finds herself falling for her captor and wanting to stay.
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
REVIEW:
Since I finished the Boston Mafia Dons series over six months ago or so, I've missed Bianca Cole! I really enjoyed that series. So I decided to start reading her books in order from the beginning. And here I am.
This one was definitely a LOT softer and Kane was so much nicer than the guys from that series. lol Maybe he's just different. Or maybe Bianca Cole was just finding her groove with this series. But it's just so much tamer than I expected.
I didn't hate it though. Kane is sweet and romantic. They are pretty head over heels for each other pretty quickly. And I loved the light daddy kink thrown in.
The age gap is a big one (and I'm loving that too). Kane is 44 and Jasmine is 18, so he's 26 years older than her. If you like big age gaps (like I do), then you'll like that. If not, then there's your fair warning. lol
There isn't much plot and it's a shorter book that focuses on the romance and steam. I'm fine with that.
But the random kidnapping by her stepdad at the end made no sense to me. Does he have a death wish? I didn't understand his motives at all. And his sudden sexual interest in Jasmine after never being inappropriate with her in the past felt out of nowhere. It all just felt like reaching for some big twist. And it just didn't work.
Overall it was definitely tamer than I expected it to be after reading Bianca's Boston Mafia Dons series first. It was still cute and I'll read the others. But I'm looking forward to her books getting a little grittier as I work my way towards her newer books.
P.S. I LOVE the new covers she updated for this series. The new guys on them are SO HOT!!

I wish half stars were a thing because I dont really want to give this book 3 stars, but 2 seems kind of harsh...This is the 2nd book I've read by this author and unfortunately neither were for me. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would disagree, but I want more than surface level chemistry, descriptive (absolutely unrealistic ridiculous) sex scenes, barely enough plot to keep it moving, and a happy-ish ending. Between the plot holes and the absolutely ridiculous sex I'm surprised I finished the book.
I still can't figure out how he was SITTING on a rock in a pond, holding all of her weight, and her hands behind her back and thrust into her all at the same time.
"My fingertips dig into his shoulders, clawing at him as heat filters through my body. He sits back down on the rock, grabbing my wrists and forcing them behind my back. Kane holds them tightly in one hand, keeping me restrained as he thrusts his hips hard and fast. The water around us splashes as he drives into me."
I call bullshit.
And you cannot convince me that a mafioso who stumbles across his true love when he takes her as payment from her douchebag step father would not put said step father down like an animal when he finds out how she's been treated by him. That man would be buried in concrete under a new building in Manhattan. Period.
Ok, I think you get the picture. These books just aren't for me... that doesn't mean you won't enjoy them, and I truly hope you do.
