Prigioniera del diavolo
Sto per sposarmi. Dovrebbe essere un momento felice, invece provo solo paura mentre percorro la navata verso un uomo che mi vuole solo per i miei vincoli familiari. Ma la cerimonia viene interrotta quando Matteo Milani entra nella cattedrale, uccide il mio promesso sposo e mi prende per sé.
Matteo è la persona più fredda, violenta e malvagia che io abbia mai conosciuto. È la personificazione del diavolo con un bel viso e degli occhi che mi perseguitano durante il sonno, ma anche da sveglia. È impossibile sfuggire alla sua stretta, ma anche se riuscissi a scappare Matteo mi troverebbe e mi trascinerebbe di nuovo in questo inferno. Vuole possedermi e rubare pezzi della mia anima con le sue parole crudeli e il suo modo di fare infervorato.
Le sue motivazioni sono sinistre, i suoi metodi calcolati.
Lo odio più di qualsiasi altra cosa al mondo.
Ma la parte di questo incubo che mi spaventa di più è il modo in cui mi fa dimenticare il mio odio, riuscendo a scatenare il mio piacere e spingendomi a desiderarlo, mentre dovrei volerlo morto.
Nota di si tratta di un romanzo autoconclusivo sulla mafia con tematiche, linguaggio e situazioni dark, con scene crude sin dalle prime pagine.

4.5 Nothing’s-gonna-stop-me-from-claiming-the-bride stars
Not even the groom… the groomsmen or his family 😅. That’s one way to make an entrance 🤷🏻♀️.
It’s Lucretia’s (19?) wedding day, a forced marriage, one she doesn’t care to be a part of. She’s at the altar, ready to say her vows, when Mateo (late 20s) comes in, with all his men, and starts un aliving people, including the groom.
And then he takes his spot and forcibly marries Lucretia after he agrees to pay her father 3x’s the bride money.
He wants her so he’s gonna have her 😉.
Meanwhile, Lucretia can’t believe everything she’s witnessed.
If only she knew all the reasons for why Mateo did what he did 👀.
What I liked/loved: possible spoilers
—the 🔥. Mateo takes his time to finally claim his v bride. Makes sense… I kind of found this sweet 😅🤣. Of course, he has some marking to do 👀- yeah. You know what I mean 😉. Good thing Mateo has some magic hands 😉. I love that he takes the time to prepare her 🥵 before the fully claims 🔥 (at about 67%). As he should 🤷🏻♀️
—Mateo’s refractory period. It seems to only lasts seconds. Good for you Lucretia 👀. Not me being jealous over here 😒
—the tension. Since it’s on the medium/slow burn side, I appreciated to buildup 😉
—hide and seek. Ermagod. This scene was fuuuuun 😈. It almost became a primal play scene, but… womp womp… it didn’t go there. Too bad. Soo much potential 👀
—how obsessed Mateo is. He’s been wanting her for a while 😅. Good. I love me a dedicated H
—how protective he is. He has more of the big picture compared to poor Lucretia. Because of that, she needs to learn to trust him
—touch her and d!€ 💅. No one touches her but Mateo 🤷🏻♀️. Don’t cry about the consequences when you don’t follow the rules
—JP in all its glory. Don’t look at my woman please 💅
—he fell first 😮💨👏🏻😈
—LITO!!!! I loooove him!!! He made me giggle and swoon ❤️. He totally helps Lucretia enjoy her time as a “captive” lol. Plus… shopping???? He had impeccable taste 😉. Good thing he’s gay or else he couldn’t be friends with Lucretia
—the comeuppance 😮💨. Sure. It’s bl00dy and v!0lent, but you know what? IDC 🤷🏻♀️
What I wanted more of:
—development between the “I hate you” to the “I love you”. I understood why/how it happened, but I needed more of it on page. I felt like I was going like this🤔 when things changed. Maybe having more on Mateo before the book begins and how he picked Lucretia? Or an extra chapter transitioning to when feelings changed.
—I wish it was longer
Overall, I loved it

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5)
Trope: forced marriage
Angst: 😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥
Celia Aaron totally delivers with a super hot, forced marriage mafia read with tons of action and some great twists! Lucretia thinks she's in the clear of the mafia life she's always wanted to escape when she's allowed to go to college. That's all yanked out from under her when she's sold off to be married against her will. Her life has an even bigger plot twist when her "fiancé" is murdered at the alter and Mateo Milani forces her to marry him instead as part of a revenge plot/vendetta.
I really enjoyed this story and I wasn't sure that would be the case in the beginning since the two MCs both took a while to grow on me. The story is well written, fast paced, and written with almost a NA feel to it, rather than just the dark romance I was expecting. Lucretia is in her early 20s and while I don't think Matteo's age was mentioned, he acted pretty young too. Super volatile. Emotionally all over the place. But he definitely grows on you as you learn more about what drives him. Lucretia seemed a little "poor me" at first, but she definitely finds herself and her backbone as the story goes along and as she finds her place and her people. I ended up falling in love with both of them and how they were together. Matteo was definitely obsessed with Lucretia and his stalkery tendencies made great cannon fodder by his friends and family, lol. There was an awesome cast of side characters as well. LOVED his brother and how he seemed to balance Matteo out. The romance was a slow to medium burn and while he did torment her from the beginning, it wasn't the dubcon you typically see in captive/forced marriage stories. Definitely different. Definitely enjoyed. Definitely recommend!

Poor poor Lucretia she was brought back by her snobby, abusive parents to be forced into a marriage she has no say in. Before she could say anything, mayhem happens, people are killed, blood is spilled, and another man is marrying her. Mateo is cold, dominant, and wants revenge against a few families that wronged him. And now he has his bride she hates him already, but he doesn't care it's all a part of his plan. To break her and humiliate her. He says the stuff, but all he's done is make her dress in short stuff and tease her. He does scare her a few times.
The chemistry is hot between the 2. I wish we had more primal play between them too.
He started caring more when she was hurt, and boy did he make that man pay no one touches his woman. We saw a softer side of Mateo, and I loved it. He was still a rough jerk, but lord he took care of her.
I love lito and the rest of the guys!! They were an amazing group. I wonder if the rest shall get stories??

Nothing I haven’t read before. Actually felt like reading a Natasha Knight mafia romance. But this was exactly the pick me up I need.
January 7, 2023
The hero was okay but the heroine was a cardboard cutout with the personality of a kitchen rag. There was zero relationship development, we basically go from him being a cartoonish mafia guy to being completely in love with her from one page to the next without any transition. It was a quick read and had some good moments but I skimmed a lot. Even the smut was boring probably because I wasn't invested and they had no chemistry at all.

I liked it but i didn't love it.
Something was missing, i can't put my finger on it...maybe i needed more connection between them? i felt like Lito had a bigger bond with her than Mateo. Dunno.
I just needed more from it.
It was still an enjoyable read.

☕🚬A book where you can discuss climate with FBI in the interrogation room after killing 50-ish people.
😑DO NOT ARGUE WITH ME IF THIS REVIEW GOES AGAINST YOUR MORALS, ARGUMENTS WILL BE IGNORED LIKE CARDI B's HAIRLINE.
🗿A disclaimer that my English is as good as an Orange Cat's attention span.
🖤 LUCRETIA (wierd name, but okay) AND MATTEO
🟥I HAVE to say that CA is a pro , maybe even the best at writing Anti-Heroes.
✅I have NEVER EVER wanted to slap and kiss the shit out of the same guy before now.
💀I ALMOST dnfed this.
✅I mean..... Matteo was SO RUDE , egoistical, judgmental, and....
✅I think CA is one of those few authors in my list, who never writes a bad book.
✅I've read Butcher before, and MAN if that book wasn't exciting.
✅In this book , First few chapters, he treats her like shit dude.
😶And I am suprised actually that she didn't slap him. Not once. I mean, yeah, one time she was about to and then he caught her wrist. Totally a TV-worthy moment.
✅But, I personally feel that she should have fought him more. You know....been more sassy.
✅Give him the medicine of his own taste.....GIVE HIM THE TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE.
✅I skipped the few parts where he is Bromancing with Benny and Sonny.(sounds like what Micky and Minnie would name their kids).
🤔this book has weird fuckin' names. Lucretia? Why not just Lucia?
Sonny?
😂And I remember that Morgan freeman movie......Idk....think it was....Shawshank one, where he called the Hero, Sonny Boyyyyyy, yeah stretching the 'y' in his cigarette accent.
🤣It's just ... whenever I read that name in the book, I though of Morgan F. and it was funny.
✅Okay , that's it, we've gone off-topic. Back to killers and their wives.
✅So, this is an Arrange-marriage romance.
✅Where 'arrange' means mass-murder and abduction of bride.
✅And 'marriage' is priest going-
......and concluding the ceremony.
🚩One thing that went over my head was.... a world, or you can say this.....world of Bratvas where women were just commodities..... HOW DA FUK did Sarita (which btw is an Indian name too, haha. Strange) have so much power that after her son was killed, husband died, and now.....SHE IS the one who gained control of the army?
😒Shouldn't she have been defeated now? because she has no other male member of the family left?
✅Seemed a bit strange to me. But whatever. I am here for Matteo and Luc.
✅One more ..... surprising thing that CA added was ...... a gay brother. OF the Hero.
✅To balance all the Chainsaw massacre she wrote about I guess.
✅And it was fun to read about Carlito. Who..... wait for it..... IS AN ACTOR/POT-MAKER.
✅Sweet guy. Gays are supposed to be sweet and funny in books filled with straight people who love guns. Someone the h can rely on.
✅Also, call it a psychic power or whatever, but in first few chapters I KNEW someone's gonna be whistleblower among the Milani Clan.
✅Anyway, that's all I'm gonna tell you.
here are the 🟥SPOILERS🟥......
🔺Virgin h.
🔺Celibate H. Dangerously J/P.
💌SMUT- Hot. Cheetos Hot. (just sayin' . I don't like Cheetos). But yeah, 10/10.
⛔TRIGGER-Shit load of non-con intimacy for at least 10 chapters.(made me sick after a few scenes)
🟥Off-page sibling, parents death mentioned
🟥Blood gore violence. you name it. this has it.
😒Bribing(wait. that's not a trigger)
▶No-cheating.
🟥OM drama- h almost raped but giiiiirl fought back and the H ......get this.... DISMEMBERED the bad guy.(She didn't get raped)
✅HEA. (H loosened up in the end, so that's a relief)
❣❣❣❣Epilogue-Married with kids.

A Fontana in my hands, to break as I see fit. I’ve looked forward to this day for a long, long time.”
Star Rating : 4 / 5 Stars
POV : Dual
Cliffhanger : None
Hero : Mateo
Pace of the story : Moderate
Angst Rating : 5/10
Heat Rating : 7/10
Triggers Involved : Kidnapping , forced marriage
Overall Opinion :
Celia Aaron is one of those authors whom I read years ago, then kind of lost touch with. But I still remember the way they drove me crazy with their books. I ran to sign up for this book the moment I saw it because even though it had been years since I read Celia , I knew she would not disappoint me!!!
Mateo was 🤌🥹💗 Not to mention the steamy scenes in this book were to die for. Matieo totally started off as an anti hero who wanted everything for himself to a man willing to sacrifice everything to save his wife. Ughhh. I love such forced arranged marriage romances lmao.
Definitely recommending this one to all the dark romance loving people out there.

Celia Aaron's stories are always sexy and edgy. Devil's Captive was no different. I enjoyed the enemies to lovers vibe between Mateo and Lucretia. I absolutely loved the hate-filled tension between them and how their relationship shop eventually evolved into a loving one.
Overall the banter in this story was straight fire! I loved the tumultuous tension between them and how they both were drawn to one another despite the bloodshed and betrayal in their family history. To me the best part of this story was Luto. He was just everything!
This story had passion, fight, love and an incredible story! 4.5 stars! ~Ratula

3.5 Smut-Scale Stars!
Lucretia is being forced down the aisle to align Mafia families and her window of freedom is closing the closer she gets to the altar. On the edge of despair, Mateo comes in guns blazing and takes her for himself. He means to use her as revenge on her family for the pain they caused. Predictable? Definitely.
However, I enjoyed it nonetheless. Mateo was brutal, cruel, and hell bent on making people pay for the wrongs they caused his family. I hated him at first but fell in love with him when he realized the place Lucretia would end up playing in his life. His character development was well written but I would have liked a little more sexual tension between him and Lucretia. The “hate” part didn’t last long enough for me. It felt more like hate to instalove rather than hate to love.
Lucretia - I loathed her at first. I thought she was whiny and weak. She did slowly come around and get some steel in her backbone. But I think Mateo made this story.
This was smutty, a little angsty, and had several great action moments. Overall, a pretty good read.

It's a good read for insta-lust, predictable storyline and some steam. The writing is good, familiar and fits well as a palate cleanser. However the steam was a bit boring here for me and there wasn't enough character development. And walks a very thin line between pedictable plot vs under-developed plot..

~𝑨 𝒃𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆~
A safe albeit bloody journey with a hot, possessive hero whose filthy mouth and unapologetic manners in the bedroom will have you drop your panties in a heartbeat.

Although there is nothing revolutionary or new about this story the author delivers a pleasant experience. The usual arranged marriage, mafia setting, damsel in distress who wishes to have a life outside of her duties. I can happily declare the author doesn’t fall into the usual clichés or grandiose scenarios so easy to come across every time the mafia world is involved; preferring to focus on the characters and their relationship she gives space to the growth and development of the story. Told in dual POV the fast paced writing adds pleasure to the reading experience.

This was a nice interlude in between readings, some editing distractions could have been avoided with some attention. If you like mafia romances with no frills, free from unnecessary extra words or background misinformation; a hot hero and don’t mind some blood splattering then indulge freely into this decadent debauchery.

❝no one’s going to do a thing to stop me. not your family, not a single person in this church, not even the priest. from this day forward, you are mine to do with as i please.❞
the energy i was left with:
❝how did this go from an ❛i hate her❜ situation to an ❛i must give her the perfect wedding ring❜ situation? did all this happen while i was stuck with the feds? is this what i missed?❞

This is a very generic mafia book.
It was entertaining enough that I finished it but I struggled with the characters a lot.
The MMC was an ass for a really dumb reason. If I’m going to read a story about a character hell-bent on revenge, it needs to be for a good reason. And taking your frustrations out on someone because you’re mad at their parents, in my opinion, is just ridiculous. Especially when you know those parents have abused the victim you are now abusing.
The other problem I had with this book is for the main male character, his character did a complete 180 out of nowhere. It felt like I was reading a completely different character about halfway through the book when he decided to love and cherish the main female character. It was absolutely bizarre. It wasn’t a Slow progression into loving his new wife at all.
No cheating.
HEA

Mateo was probably one of the most likeable bad guys I have read. I really liked his friendship with his group of friends/closest bad guys 😆😆 and the ease between them. I liked Lucretia too. And Lito … the gay brother of the mob don … awesome.
Great epilogue. I loved how Lucretia got to follow her dream and how Mateo supported her.

I love this book so much. It made it worth to read because at first the SLOW BURN was getting annoying but after that, it was so freakin romantic and so freakin hot ❤️❤️🥺 I want the hero all for myself🤣 Thanks sonia for the great review about this book because I get back to this book every now and then cause how romantic it is! Mafia romance, stalking hero, force marriage, kidnapping, safe romantic love story and very over the top possessive protective alpha male 🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜💜
MY TYPE OF BOOK ☺️
“If anyone dares hurt her again, their penalty will be even worse. I’m a violent man when it comes to defending what’s mine. No one can change that, not even her. With the distance, though, I itch to see her. To poke at her. To get her to talk to me like she did the night when she was hurt. And not just talk—I want her. All of her. I want to make her mine and take her body roughly, gently, every way there is.”
The slow burn was worth it. Because it was a safe one! SAFE ALL THE WAY…. No annoying other woman scenes ever which is very refreshing in my eyes. Even at first, there’s no ex girlfriend or ex fvck buddy ever shows up and ever talked about. From the beginning till the end, the heroine is the only woman. That right there was very interesting ❤️🥺
‼️‼️‼️SAFE ROMANTIC MAFIA LOVE STORY🔥
‼️‼️‼️TRIGGERS: Fighting, high on violence, death, killing, torturing, almost r*pe, mafia, drugs, alcohol, kidnapping and force marriage.
‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING AND NO SEPARATION
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS OVER THE TOP POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE MILLIONAIRE MAFIA BOSS ALPHA MALE.
The hero is not a manwhor3.
“I could kiss you for hours. Days.”
“It’s just the honeymoon phase,”
“I don’t think so. I don’t think I’ll ever get over wanting you, princess. Needing to feel your mouth, your tits, your perfect cunt.”
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS OBSESSED with the heroine and wants her sooooo bad…. The hero has been obsessed with the heroine for years, stalk her every more and knows everything about her literally on daily basis. At first the hero did it because he wants a revenge on her family so he tries to stalk to see the heroine the daughter, but eventually his feelings towards the heroine grows daily and grows stronger than ever as he stalk her every single day. So romantic☺️❤️ The hero even stopped seeing other woman and immediately stopped fvcking other woman since he first stalk the heroine. HE IS LOYAL TO HER LIKE THAT EVEN BEFORE THEY WERE FREAKIN DATING OMG🥺 even his friends talked about it and all make sense the way the hero goes to clubs with his family but never ever touch a woman there or anywhere. Yes this hero is AMAZING ❤️
The hero goes over the top for the heroine with everything she wants and needs… The hero literally will do ANYTHING to the heroine and always said that to her ❤️
“Because I won’t let anyone tarnish you. Not even me.”
“God, I can’t believe I did this.”
“I liked it, my little minx. Your claws are sexy.”
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE IS A VIRGIN.
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE is sassy but not too sassy, she’s very smart and sometimes naive but not too naive either. The heroine loves animal too much even considered a lizard a cute little thing which is adorable to read that scene lol.
‼️‼️‼️DUAL POV
‼️‼️‼️NO DRAMA WITH OW AND OM…
Only with themselves and their family and mafia enemies.
‼️‼️‼️MANY JEALOUS SCENES FROM THE HERO and none from the heroine…
“He said all you have to do is ask. But then he added you won’t be staying on campus and if any ‘foolish schoolboy dares so much as to speak to you’ that he’d drag him to the sauna and so on and so forth.”
“I have the distinct urge to break his fucking neck. And not just his, every man in this room has shot a look at her, some far too long for my liking. But she’s a jewel, one that shines and can’t be denied. Of course they want her, but they’ll never get anywhere near her. Not if they want to live.”
“A spark of jealousy flares in my chest. Why is she laughing with him? She should be laughing with me. I can be funny. Surely.” (That him was his chefs and it’s safe lol).
‼️‼️‼️IT HAS PUSHING AWAY FROM BOTH BUT NEVER TOO MUCH AND NOT TOO ANNOYING…
‼️‼️‼️VERY HOT EXTREMELY SMUT SCENES😍🔥 The hero really worships the heroines body and always likes to kissed her everywhere and mostly on her forehead!
“Your cunt was made for me.”
‼️‼️‼️THE CHEMISTRY between the couple is strong and very romantic ❤️❤️❤️ And when they become more in love, the hero really is so soft to her and treats her like a princess and you can definitely feel their connection!
‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING. Married, at first it was a force marriage but then the hero propose to the heroine in a most romantic way ever. And then she’s pregnant 🥺
👉🏽👉🏽Thank you so much for reading my review❤️❤️ For you who loves my review and follow it, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I did not get paid or be told to do a review on a book. I’m here just to write review about a book so i can remember it. Its my honest opinion😚 I didn’t know at first people will find me and follow me and trust me to be honest, I was surprised myself to look at the notifications from people who reach out to me😆 So everything i write down here on a review is based on my personal opinion and based on my true writing. I DID NOT COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW OR WRITING SKILL because at first when i was using this app for one year i didn’t know how to scroll down on a book and see the reviews from others😂😅🤣 I know, silly me but hey I finally learned my lesson 😛😛😛 Thats why when people assume i copy someone’s review i was like what? Because at first i didn’t know how to use this app properly and i didn’t know how to open someone’s review because for a year i never follow someone or add friends or someone😂😂😂🤣 (I’m laughing so hard) 🤪 AND I NEVER COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW EVER. IF I WRITE SOMETHING WRONG OR DOESN’T MAKE SENSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND BE NICE OKAY. 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽✋🏽✋🏽 IF YOU'RE BEING MEAN AND NEGATIVE ALREADY WITH A WARNING AND NOT BEING WISE TO ME, I WILL NOT ENTIRELY READ YOUR COMMENT AND REMOVE YOU EASILY AND FAST. I DO NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVE COMMENT SO KNOW YOUR PLACE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I’m writing my disclaimer again here cause many negative people still don't get it or still be stupid enough not to understand my POV when I already write it so many times before. So here I am writing it again to you beautifuls human being😁😁 WHEN YOU READ MY LONG OR SHORT REVIEW, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT A STORY AND CHARACTERS RIGHT... IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEN HERE IT IS: I LIKE A BOOK WITH VERY POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE ALPHA MALE, NO CHEATING, AND PLEASE NO MANWHOR3, NO MANY PUSHING AWAY, NO DOORMAT HEROINES, NO MANY OW DRAMA, NO S3X SCENE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. AND SAFE ALL THE WAY AND A HAPPY ENDING. Something that I don't like it very much if the hero or heroine have a crazy fvcked up personality and likes. Example: killing someone and let the heroine watch it all and push the heroine to lick all the blood of his victim and made her have to eat the meat of humans. and fvcks many woman in front of the heroine while telling her he loves her. I DON'T LIKE THAT TYPE OF SH*T AT ALL. That's just who I am, that's what I like and I don't like on a book. Maybe you love that, but I don't. We humans are different, we think very differently from one another. You have your likes and I have mine, you have your opinions and I have mine of my own. You think it's stupid of me to love such a book or to not love a book or to hate it whatever lol, I think it's bad you think that way cause I respect people's opinions cause I know for a fact we have our differences. YOU AND ME ARE DIFFERENT FOR PETE'S SAKE. I even have my own friends or people I follow here that shows how much they don't like the book I like, I never even give them a long comment or short Comment. Cause I respect their opinions. I don't like to give people I hard time here cause life itself is already hard enough. I do respect your opinion if you say my review is bad or whatever negative things about it, but in the end of the day I will not changed my mind about what book I dislike and how my thoughts about it. You can't tell me what to do. You can give me advice but it's me who decided to know what's right for me, this is my life and not yours. Read that again. Don’t assume things about me that is not even real, just don’t. cause when you do you’re more small minded for sure. You're thinking why I'm telling you all of this when you already know? Is because you still hating on my opinions and don't understand my POV and don't respect my POV. You think i like writing this disclaimer when obviously you're an adult already? no i personally think this is unnecessary... but because there are people out there who still don't get it *rolling my eyes*. Hopefully they or the people who read this disclaimer can use a beautiful thing called a brain:) AND WHEN YOU READ MY REVIEW, READ IT VERY CLEARLY TO SEE IF I FINISHED THE BOOK OR NOT. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. AND YES ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE. BUT IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M WRITING, THEN IT MEANS YOU UNDERSTAND IT ENOUGH. I DO NOT TOLERATE BULLYING, NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND MEAN WORDS. PLEASE USE A WISE WORDS SO WE DON'T ATTACK EACH OTHER. SIMPLY, I DON’T LIKE TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH STRANGERS LIKE YOU CAUSE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO😚 BUT IF YOU STILL WANT TO BE AMBER HEARD KARENS THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND MY DISCLAIMER AFTER I JUST WRITE IT DOWN, THEN GO ENJOY YOUR DAY AND GO AWAY. IT'S VERY EASY FOR A HUMAN COULD DO YA KNOW. IF YOU STILL HERE HATING ME OR ANNOYED WITH ME, THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM. NOT ME PROBLEM. HASHTAGS BURN😂😂 DON'T TAKE THINGS TOO PERSONALLY ON ONLINE CAUSE WE ALL A STRANGERS, WE NEVER EVER MEET. WE'RE ADULTS HERE SO LETS BE WISER. LAST, I BLOCK NEGATIVE PEOPLE! SO GET WELL SOON TO THE HATERS. HOPEFULLY YOUR HEART AND MIND WILL BE MORE POSITIVE 🙏🙏🙏 AND THIS DISCLAIMER MAY SEEMS LIKE TOO HARSH ON YOU BUT HEY I DON'T LIKE TO SUGAR COATED THINGS. I LIKE TO SAY TO THE POINT WITH MY UNDERSTANDING AND MY OWN THOUGHTS, CAUSE THAT'S HOW HUMANS ARE. WE ARE DIFFERENT REMEMBER👍 HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!

So.... Mateo is really an a$$hole, like a giant one. Did i fall hard for him??!
Of course i did!!!
'Cause he is the kind of man who loves hard and fiercely, who gives you everything once he drops the façade of monster.
But don’t get me wrong, he is not a softy, he is still a lethal madman, who doesn't shy away from getting his hands dirty 🩸🩸🩸
And gosh, his possessiviness 🥵🥵
About Lucretia ...
i didn’t really like her at the beginning because she seemed too weak. In reality she is just too sweet for the world she born into, however when the situation call for it, she has a backbone made of steel.
They are just perfect together: two opposites who attract each other.
And I loved their "bond forged in hate and perfected in love".
Celia Aaron made a great work with the side characters too.
I mean Lito is freaking incredible, and so different from the men you usually read about in mafia romance. Sonny, Benny and Red are amazing just as much.
What I liked about them is the way they treated Lucretia, the way they accepted their relationship. It was refreshing in a certain way.
The mafia part was really good; there was action, violence, need for vengeance, betrayal...and it was well mixed with love story.
In the end the author created something original and intriguing out of tropes we read about often. And I still think about them, so yeah...absolutely recommended!!

- virgin h
- not a manwhore H (not even a mention of another woman in his head, an old lover or "his type", which is refreshing because authors always make the heroes go on and on about "how they like their women" which is such a turn off, I liked that the only woman in his head was the heroine, i believe he has been celibate since he saw her years before the start of the book, as he should)
- dub con
- no ow drama
- violence, descriptive torture
- attempted SA by om
- HEA
you know i like my heroes besotted so I wasn't a big fan of how he treated her in the beginning (because her parents killed his parents) but it kept the beginning of the book interesting and he didn't do anything unforgivable he tried to humiliate her by making her wear a maid's costume but then he proceeded to put her in his lap and feed her so I didn't even take him seriously on this, It didn't last long tho and soon he became the besotted hero that I knew he was pretending not to be. I would have liked more details about the time he stalked her before the start of the book tho.
overall it was a good safe sexy read with a possessive faithful hero and a sweet h.
i will definitely look for more books by this author and i hope she has more books with non-manwhores H and no ow drama.

Je pensais que c’était un chouette livre mais je l’aie trouver un peu nulle et la plume, j’ai pas aimer, on aurait des gamins et pas des adultes « matures » et ça allait trop vite
Ensuite, j’ai pas du tout aimé le début, ça m’a fort dérangée
C’était pas le pire Dark romance que j’ai lu mais dire que c’est un livre incroyable je ne comprends pas et c’était pas le meilleur Dark romance
( mon avis perso. Je tiens à préciser )

5+++ stars
I missed Celia Aaron's stories so much, she always manages to awaken the deepest emotions in the reader and she is back with one of her best books to date, all the tension between Lucretia and Mateo, gahhhh deliciously hot, intense, steamy and so addictive, Devil's Captive is the perfect mix of dark, spicy and emotion all wrapped up in a good dose of action, it's a captivating journey that gave me all the feelings, I couldn't put it down for a single second.
Mateo is the perfect antihero, a morally gray character that will make you fall at his feet, with his intense way of loving and protecting his loved ones, and his dirty mouth, he is my new book boyfriend, his scenes with Lucrecia are so charged with emotion and passion, intoxicating and deep, pure fire, I just couldn’t get enough of them together, I love them. I love Lito, I want a friend like that too.
This is a raw, emotional and steamy mafia story that will take your breath away, soooo good, but proceed with caution because this is a dark romance that has dark themes and situations not for the faint of heart.
Definitely perfect for fans of:
Mafia
Dark romance
Forced proximity
Forced marriage
Touch her and die vibes
Violence
Steamy

Stats:
OM: None-
OW: None
Cheating: None
Those above stats are right up my alley. So why 1 star?
Simple. The H was 🚮. he was complete trash. He humiliates her by making her wear sexy maid outfit in front of his men. then when later on in the book one man takes too much liberty and actually tries to r-word the h... .. he is surprised is men would go against him and threaten her?
“Come on, Mateo. The file you kept on her? The way you practically stalked her for years before you ever met her? And then how you were so single-minded about the plan to crash her wedding and take her from Horatio, no matter the cost?” So he marries her because he wants revenger against her family for unaliving his. But really he is obsessed with her and doesn't want her marrying someone else.
“You told me you trust me.” This AFTER she is harassed by his man, humiliated by him (no humiliation k!nk btw), disrespected and completely isolated by him. The h is a doormat
“How did this go from an ‘I hate her’ situation to an ‘I must give her the perfect wedding ring’ situation? Did all this happen while I was stuck with the feds? Is this what I missed?” Yes how did it? With the length of the book you'd think there would be more development. There isn't.
I eye his hand and realize this decision is going to change everything. I can either hold onto my revenge and potentially lose Lucretia, or hold onto Lucretia and finally let go of my parents’ death.
So all that humiliation for her was for nothing?

***4.5 STARS***
Absolutely loved this dark mafia romance.
Lucretia is being forced into a marriage to align with another mafia family when Mateo storms the church and kills the groom and forces Lucretia to marry him.
I loved Mateo….not sure what the says about me because he is cruel, vicious and set on vengeance including taking it out on Lucretia. Trigger warning for humiliation but when he falls….swoon.
Check trigger warnings on this one because it has violence galore. But I loved every minute of it. Just my type of mafia romance. Highly recommend for the non faint hearted.

2.5 **
Je n'ai pas détesté ma lecture, mais je n'ai pas aimé non plus. Lors de mon achat, j'ai surtout flasher sur la couverture et puis le résumé me semblait très intéressant.
Dans l'ensemble c'était bien, mais j'ai trouvé que l'histoire manquait de profondeur et que tout allait trop vite. Le récit se passe sur un échelon de deux à trois semaines et admettons que le syndrome de Stockholm embarque très très rapidement...
J'ai grandement aimé le côté familles mafieuses et les règlements de comptes, mais outre cela, je ne pense pas que j'aurai apprécié ma lecture.
Je vous encourage quand même à vous faire votre propre opinion en lisant le roman et surtout venez en parler ☺️
Et si jamais tu l'a déjà lut, dit moi ce que tu en a pensé!!

Dark and Twisted
Lies, betrayal, and Murder... So much of it. Matteo wants his revenge for his parents death. He starts by killing people at a wedding to obtain Lucretia.
Taking her was part of the revenge plan as he starts to humiliate her. However, it bites him in the a$$.
For me it was a little slow at first and picked up around Chapter 14. Before that it was like a lot of monologue and not much action.
After that you have full steam ahead. We Find out who really stabbed Matteo in the back. The one person he wouldn't have thought. He also is able to get revenge for his parents. Lucretia finds out who really murdered her brother.
One of my favorite characters was the brother Lito.
