Ruthless Daddies 2 #9
Trouble
I shouldn’t have messed with my no good family, the Vitales. But the score was too good to pass up. All I saw was dollar signs. Now, I’m in deep water and about to drown. When Benito Vitale spares my life I find myself protecting my crew and doing whatever I’m told to keep myself alive. That would be fine if he didn’t dump me into the lap of the most evil man I’ve ever met. Tony Morelli. The bastard nearly killed me, but when he shows sides of himself he doesn’t show anyone else I find myself falling for his crap. Every stroke, every caress, every touch draws me closer to the mobster who wants to ruin me. The one that loves it when I call him Daddy .
Problems is part of the Ruthless Daddies 2 multi-author collab and a complete standalone. Expect to find a possessive and obsessed mobster, a headstrong MC club president, Daddy kink in the bedroom, a load of STEAM and a guaranteed HEA. Want more deliciously morally gray Daddies and boys? Grab the whole series!

WHAT AN AMAZING STORY!Mafia?M/M?Biker x made man?DADDY KINK?Whew this book has it all,and it’s truly amazing.I loved it,both of the characters and the story.
Though I have to say that there are a lot side characters that I realized have their own stories that I should’ve probably read before this book but honestly after reading this book’s blurb I was so invested and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!
𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Caleb and Tony
𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛(𝟐𝟕):He is the biker.He is the president of a bikers club,something like a little gang.For starters one of the things that I love about Caleb is his loyalty to his men.They are his family and he doesn’t hesitate to do anything for them.He is also a pretty boy,with his messy black hair and baby blue eyes.I really like Caleb.He is fun and smart but doesn’t let anyone make him do anything he doesn’t want to do.He knows how to hold his ground and how to defend himself.Yeah he’s a super nice guy,oh he also volunteers to a church.
𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐲(𝟑𝟐):He is the made man.I like him too.He has some anger issues but at the same time he is extremely clingy (but only with Caleb:).He is strong,both physically and emotionally.Loosing his dad and older brother to an accident when he was young left him with a mother,who is very sweet btw,but has a foggy memory and often confuses him with his older brother or even his dad.Yeah he’s been through a lot that’s why I admire him now.I mean yeah he’s a made man but he’s a successful one at least.Lastly his loyalty to Benito Vitale is also admirable,he never forgets the ones who helped him.
𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: So everything started when pretty boy Caleb and his crew decided to steal drug$ from Mr Vitale.Caleb gets caught stealing by Benito and Tony,Tony interrogates him,then Benito discovers that Caleb is actually his cousin so anyway he tells Tony to take him in and train him.So Tony and Caleb live together in Tony’s house.They went from wanting to kill each other,to bickering with each other,to having kinky ASF “hate” sex.It was absolutely beautiful watching them softening up to each other,especially Tony who was so cold.Tony definitely fell first and harder but when Caleb realized that the feelings were mutual things just got awesome!I love their relationship and their banter.Tony is the daddy,not only in bed but he also takes care of Caleb in everyday life since Caleb is forgetting to eat and stuff like that.But when Tony gets drunk and hurt Caleb is the one taking care of him.Aw thinking about them-they are so cute ugh!And don’t get me started on the smut.The only thing I’m going to say is that they unlocked kinks I never knew I had.And their kinks matched perfectly.

4.5⭐️Listen my girls Brea and Skyler literally never fail me!! After reading the first 3 Vitale brothers books and especially Say I Do, I was so excited to get my hands on Tony’s book!
This book was just as good as I expected it to be! I loved getting more insight into Tony’s life and his happy ending. The only thing I would have changed about this book would have been to make it longer and added a little more about each of their back stories. I definitely could have kept reading about Tony and Caleb! I loved them both so much and their snarky banter was top notch! Also… these authors spicy scenes go so hard 🔥 this book was kinkyyyyy - definitely some stuff I was not expecting hahaha. If you’re looking for a smutty yet plot filled read, literally pick up any book they have written together lol.

I'm in a dark-romance-era (yes, again), and I'm working through the Mayhem Universe (including authors as such as Skylar Snow and Brea Alepoú). This universe includes the Mafia Daddies series, the Vitale Brothers series (which I've read), The Hitters MC series, and a few standalones (which were actually part of different multi-author series). Here's Skylar Snow's and Brea Alepoú's "Bad Habits." It's the first novel in the Hitters MC series. This was originally "Trouble" under the Ruthless Daddies 2 series.
["Being the right hand man to Benito Vitale isn’t always fun. From doing his dirty work, to being shoved into the trunk of a car by his husband, I’m just doing my best to survive. So, when I discover the thief that broke into our warehouse is in fact his cousin and I’m forced to babysit, of course crap hits the fan.
Caleb is everything I shouldn’t want. He doesn’t fit into my world. A biker with a heart of gold, who needs that nonsense?
But for some reason, I’m drawn to him. I’m obsessed with him. Whether he’s smiling or calling me Daddy, it makes me weak. Even when it’s time to let him go, I don’t want to. Caleb is mine. I will do whatever it takes to keep him.
Forever."]
Fuck me. I haven’t cried like that in a long time. Wow. Thanks, guys, sooo much. (It was semi therapeutic, but it still sucked.)
Caleb was not at all what I excepted. I know Tony from reading the Vitale Brothers series, and I knew at one point he found a partner for himself. But Caleb was a bratty, sassy surprise.
As was clingy, needy, possessive as fuuuuuck Tony.
Gotta saw, Harlow and Benito are still my favorites. ;)

Maalesef yarım bıraktım.
Vitale mafya serisinden tanıdığımız Tony'nin hikayesi olduğunu anlayınca hemen okudum ama asla serideki kitaplar kadar beni kendine çekmedi.
Bir şeyler eksikti. Duygular yoktu. Kitapta pek bir olayda yok. Karakterleri sevemedim. İkisi arasındaki duyguları hissedemedim. Caleb'e sinir oldum sevemedim.
Hımm sen kalkıp vitaleslere bulaşıp onların malını çalacaksın ve yakalanınca şımarıkça yoluna devam edeceksin öyle mi? Üzügünüm ama ne kadar tehlikeli olduğunu bile bile hırsızlık yapan sensin. Yakalanınca ölmediğin için şanslısın. Uyuşturucu satıcısı olarak sürekli Tony ve Benito'ları eleştirip durması dayanılmazdı. Bana göre uyuşturucu satmak ve tedarik etmek insanları öldürmekle aynı şey. İkisi de aynı şekilde kötülük. Kendini melek mi sanıyorsun? Calebi okumaya dayanamadım.
Tony'nin Caleb'in peşinde salyaları akan muhtaç bir köpek gibi gezmesinden de hoşlanmadım. Ayrıca tuvalette bile kameralarla Calebi izlemesi çok rahatsız ediciydi. Ürpetici. Tony'i de sevemedim. Hangi ara aşık oldun hangi ara bu kadar vazgeçilmez oldu?? Bu zemin tam yaratılamamıştı. Her şey çok hızlı ilerledi. Yine de %85 e kadar okudum ama Benito'ya karşı Caleb'i tercih edeceğini söylemesi ben de ipleri kopardı.
Yıllarca yanında olan ve destek olan ve arkadaşın olan Benito'ya karşı bir kaç haftadır tanıdığın ve seni bir pislik olarak gören birisini tercih etmenin yetişkin bir adamın böyle davranması, bu fevrilik bana çok yapay geldi. Gerçekten hiçbir şey hissedemedim. Seks sahneleri bile porno sahnesini okuyormuşum gibi donuktu. Hiç bir duygu yoktu.
Ama vitales serisini okumayı tavsiye ederim.

THIS BOOK HAD ME IN TEARS MULTIPLE TIMES OK. WE ALL WANT A CLINGY MAN LIKE TONY (at least I do) I LOVED the fact he literally couldn’t get enough of Caleb and Caleb acting like he wasn’t seeing that Tony CLEARLY WANTED NO WAIT WAS OBSESSED WITH HIM you can’t miss on things like that. Anywho I LOVE Caleb he made me laugh all the time with his comebacks 😭 to be honest when I first discovered him in Blake and Quincy book I thought he would be lame or some shit like them but FUCK NO. And I love the fact that he had panic attacks I WOULDNT WISH THAT TO ANYONE but I felt like it added more to his character and deepened it. NOW TONY I LOVE YOU I THINK I MIGHT BE GOING INSANE BUT I WANT SOMEONE LIKE HIM TO BE AS OBSESSED. I thought I knew ball apparently I didn’t. BRO PISSED ON HIM AND IN HIM. Might as well make him swallow it (although I’m sure Cal wouldn’t mind) that disgusted me but for the other part like the rope I found it cute that they were both so into it. STASIA I LOVE HERRRRR SHES SO CUTE 🤭 and I loved her relationship with Cal. Btw the way Caleb loved his family like Drav, Angel, Demon and Shadow was so cute ❤️🩹 to me he cares so much about them it’s insane I want a friendship like that. IT FELT SO GOOD TO SEE THE VITALES FAMILY AGAIN I MISSED THEM DO MUCH even though there were things that weren’t adding up with the other books like the fact that the brothers other than Benito knew that Gianpaolo was alive when they’re not supposed to thats literally the whole plot to his book low-key but anyway I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH I WISH I COULD REREAD IT AGAIN AND I CANT WAIT FOR CESARE’S BOOK

Gin & Enzo? nope. Tony? yep, very interested.
The first half was good, very good. It's what I expect from a dark romance and from this particular characters that I came to know and like.
Having said that... wtf with the second half???? Daddy Tony went all soft and disgustingly sappy and this manchild Caleb was acting like a spurned wife? ejem, kiddos of my heart, we are all mobsters here, can we please behave as such? you lot gave me fucking cavities. This is not the kind of romance I came to expect from this characters and this setting! it was way to sweet? and kinda ooc.
I regret the second half of this book and I want it erased from my memory.

i love the vitale universe so much and while i liked tony and caleb together, i felt like this book could’ve had a bit more depth on tony’s background which would’ve fleshed out the characters a bit better in my opinion - and would also make his motives more clear.
the development of the relationship was something that i thoroughly enjoyed, though. especially the negotiation of tony and caleb’s bedroom activities and how caleb was adamant about that not moving into their daily life. it was a really nice conversation.
(seeing benito, gin, tex and enzo always brings a smile on my face)

Compared to the first book in this daddy series by this authors,this wasn't bad. The side characters actually kept it interesting,as for the MC's their chemistry was lukewarm for me and their bedroom antics made me drop a star,I don't know who told authors that piss play is an interesting kink but it is fucken disgusting and nasty.

I really enjoy the first 50% of this book and the moments they share together but after that 60% mark everything felt rush and the 3rd act “breakup” what was that? 🤔🤔 but overall it was a fast read.
January 26, 2025
I have enjoyed the Vitale brothers books so of course I needed to read Tony’s! I enjoyed this book, some parts were overwhelming but not enough to turn me away, TW are there for a reason! I am so hopeful wet get the Hitters books! I’m invested now.

Great book. Was happy to read this instalment - I love this series!

It was okay but honestly I am beginning to think that I'm not a fan of the Whole Daddy/Boy dynamic.
