Wicked Little Games
For over a year, I’ve been hiding from my ruthless mob boss father and lying to everyone around me.
Jordan is a sweet, protective biker who thinks we eloped in Vegas the night we met. The truth is, he was just supposed to be my ticket out of my gilded prison.
I had nowhere to go, so when Jordan asked me to live with him after we got to his home in Rockland, I reluctantly agreed. After that, it was impossible to resist falling in love with him.
But every second we’re together is ruined thanks to the agonizing guilt eating away at me. I know I should just tell Jordan the truth about who I am; I just don’t want to lose him.
When Jordan doesn’t come home one night, my worst fears of losing him to a lie are nothing compared to the fear that he won’t survive until morning.
I would do anything to keep the man I love safe, even sell my soul to the monster holding him hostage.
Eli is a nightmare of my father’s creation. Now that he’s found me, he’s made it perfectly clear that he’s taking every ounce of his hatred toward my father out on me and Jordan.
I’m all too familiar with Eli’s dark side. I hate to admit that I’ve even missed his rough treatment. Being at his mercy isn’t as scary as he thinks it is.
In fact, his particular methods of tormenting captives reveals that I’m not the only one in my fake marriage hiding secrets.
It doesn’t take me long to realize that Eli just wants to inflict pain on anyone who tries to get close to him because he has so many scars of his own.
Even though he refuses to admit it, Jordan wants Eli as much as he wants me, despite his threats or how callously Eli treats him.
And I just want to find a way to save the two men who own my heart, body, and soul from my father’s wrath.
Madison's book is the fourth and final book in the Sin City Mafia series. It is a dark and twisted MMF romance.

Such a disappointment after the first 3 books were so good. I don’t care for MMF stories and this was no exception. After I realized what this was I skipped to the last chapter for closure on the series.

I absolutely loved this story, it was very well written.
Loved Eli, after what you learn of his past and loved the ending ;).
Madison and Jordan are a beautiful couple together, they would have survived anything if they didn't have secrets between them.
Sad that that series is now finished.

This was such a disappointment! It felt like the author had a contractual obligation to write a book about the third sister, so this is what we got. We already knew the outcome at the beginning, so there was no suspense at all. She tried to marry two different worlds- mafia and MC and it resulted in this watered down product. This book was really just about the sex scenes and no good plot points.

“Teeth” 5 seconds of summer
“Runaway” Aurora
“Too sweet” Hozier
“River” Bishop Briggs
I think books four is my favorite of the series and based on the dedication, (“For the patient readers who endured the first three books in this series and waited nine long months for Madison to finally be found and for Eli to find love.”), I think the author new it would be.

It’s impossible for me to adequately convey the extent of my love for the author’s characters. Her stories are incredibly enjoyable to read, and her characters always leave a lasting impression on me. The wait for this final book in the series was unbearable as I knew it would be a memorable conclusion to this storyline. It was, and there were multiple reasons for it. The relationship between Maddie and Jordan is incredibly endearing, as he is a genuinely good person for her. However, despite the initial dub-con in her relationship with Eli, she can’t resist her strong desire for him, and boy, is it hot!
I think it’s crucial to highlight the significance of reading this series to preserve the coherence of the storylines and prevent any spoilers. Although each story is self-contained, it’s not meant to be read that way. The best way to consume it is by first understanding all the connections, starting with Vanessa and Dante’s story.
My anticipation to understand Eli, Dante’s enforcer and torturer, has been building up all series long, and finally, I got my answer! He has many reasons for the person he has become! I won’t reveal any details or reasons, but trust me, it’s absolutely heart-wrenching. The more I learned about his background, the more captivated I became by his character, and I couldn’t stop reading. But in some places, I wish I could’ve. This is absolutely not suitable for sensitive readers. Many times, Eli’s behavior made me cringe and caused my stomach to churn. Eli has no hesitation in carrying out his plans for revenge and eliminating terrible individuals, ensuring they suffer as much as possible. I get it, but, yeesh…some parts!
Maddie’s actions during her escape from Vegas were hasty and self-centered, and it was not a smart decision to drag Jordan, a brother from the Savage Kings MC, SC, into her dangerous situation. The resolution of the unexpected connection between Eli, Maddie and Jordan was really enjoyable.
If you haven’t read that series - please do. The references in this book to that chapter, and the whole SKMC world, are beneficial to understand prior to this one.
I really enjoyed my time with these characters, and cannot recommend this author or this series strongly enough! Once you’ve savored this series, I highly recommend delving back into the impressive catalog of this skilled author and immersing yourself in more of her works!
I was fortunate to receive a complimentary copy, (thank you!) and happily leave my review.

The finale!
Everything comes to fruition in this fourth and final installment in the Sin City Series.
This can technically be read as a standalone, but I strongly suggest to read the books in order for a better understanding of the chain of events, family ties and architecture of liasons.
**This is a dark romance with references that sensitive readers might find triggering. Read at your own accord.**
I was seriously not expecting what came my way with this book, just some impression that Eli (Eligor), Dante's enforcer and tortur€r, always had known where Maddie went to when she disappeared, in the first book.
He did and now time has come to retrieve her.....
Maddie escaped her father and the life and in a haste to save herself she put somebody in the mix, engaging in a fake marriage with Jordan, a brother from the Savage Kings MC, NC.
I can't express how happy I felt when I saw Jordan, all grown -up, sensible, good guy, insecure and reticent in his own desires.....
So, HOUSTON, we had a problem! and knowing Eli's MO in gore and mayhem, we also knew that Maddie was in for for a very unpleasant treat and so was anyone near her.
The narrative runs steady and direct at two different tones: Eli wears brutality as a crown and he's ready to dish punishment and make payday, violent, ferocious, savagely, because life made him this way....
On the other hand, in fulfilling his mission he ended up finding himself, so did Maddie and Jordan.
I loved the way Lane ingeniously peeled the layers of the most complex character in this series, in some retrospective moments of Eli's background, past demons and life experiences. We got to see the man beyond the sadistic, vicious and barbaric demeanor and in his deviance he got two for the ride...... in decadence, surrender and reckless abandonment.
This story is 🔥h.o.t.🔥, but also emotionally wrecking and soul-shattering, so vicariously described we can feel it in our bones and recognize the man behind the monster. .
On another note, with a combination of expertly entwined subgenres in a convoluted net of internal turmoil, wills and wants, actions and reactions, the author creates a balanced and credible tale where we can even feel a pinch of inappropriation and forbiddness (we all know who Maddie's father is) along with a throuple as final result and the woman that glues it all.
Simply superb, the series, this book and the author!

CW/TW: Lane Hart has a FULL listing in the front matter of this book. Check your TW before reading.
Wicked Little Games was worth the wait!
Wow… I am still not sure what to say about Wicked Little Games. When I first started it, I wasn’t sure what direction Lane Hart was going to take this story. But it ended up being so much more than I anticipated. We finally get to know what happened with Madison Salvato when she runs away from Las Vegas. Low and behold, we get a Savage Kings crossover that I never expected.
Wicked Little Games opens with Maddie having created a life for herself in Rockland, VA. Granted she hasn’t been all that truthful to the people in her life, but she is trying to live it at the same time. Jordan (If you read Savage Kings MC Virginia, you know his story… but don’t worry if you didn’t like me, you won’t be lost.) has a lot of chaos in his head. He is living a lie himself, but at the same time isn’t sure it is truly a lie. Yes, this is a vague statement, but you need to read it for the full effect.
Then we get Eli… oh Eli, you crazy delightful character. We met Eli all the way back in book one of this series, Savage Little Games, and he is enigmatic and a little bit psycho. But oh friend, he is that and so much more. Eli was one of those characters that I needed to know more, and what I learned was everything I needed. What is surprising is how and who he originally opened up to. The relationship between him and Maddie was unexpected, but
This is story of chaos, of kinks, of family and it’s truly bonkers but in the best way possible. I have been in the BIGGEST slump recently, but this book knocked me right out of it. Lane Hart always writes a dynamic story. Whether or not I love it, that’s another thing… but oh this book. I didn’t want to put it down. While this one is a wild ride… it’s worth every second.

You can't possibly imagine the way I was When I started reading this book.
I knew it was going to be a dark and hot one, but dayum, I was not expecting this.
Lane Hart always knows how to spike my interest and curiosity.
Each book is amazing and you'll fall in love with each character.
Wicked Little Games is her latest release and explores the lives of Maddie, Eli and Jordan.
But one side note, read this series from the beginning. Everything will make more sense if you do it.
Maddie run away from home a little more than a year ago.
She faked a marriage with this gorgeous man, Jordan, and went away with him.
Her life was perfect until it wasn't.
Jordan is one of the Savage Kings MC brother and is always doubting himself.
We have meet him Colt - Savage Kings MC - Virginia #2 and I'm so happy to see him all grown up.
He have some secret desires that he's afraid to explore until...
Eli or Eligor is as twisted as they come. He's a killer without a heart, or so we thought.
His life has been hell and to escape the demons that haunt him, he tortures and kills.
He is obsessed with Maddie and when he finds her e finds Jordan as well and...
Jesus... This book gutted me open...
What a plot, what a ride. Dayum, I'm still shaking, and I've ended the book a while ago.
The story was so intense that I had to stop a few times to gather my thoughts.
The way these three are together will leave you breathless...
Not only will you have drama, crime, punishment, violence and torture, but also love, desire and so much more.
It was awesome to have Dante back. I love that man.
I'm sad this series is over, but super happy for the chance to read it.
Dayum Lane...Just Dayum...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
I can’t believe this series is over! Maddie’s story has been on my mind since book one, and it was definitely worth the wait. I wasn’t sure who her love interest would be at first, but as hints started pointing towards Eli, it all just clicked. And the fact that this turned into a ‘why choose’ situation? It made the whole thing even better.
Eli has been intriguing from the start, this vicious torturer with the darkest, most twisted ways. He’s still as unhinged as ever, but finally getting to see what made him this way gave me some peace of mind. He’s a messed-up machine, but at least now we know why.
Maddie did get on my nerves a bit with how she handled things with Eli and Jordan, but I couldn’t stay mad for long. Watching her enjoy her freedom and everything that came with it was such a nice touch. And Dante letting her continue with her business afterward was such a wholesome moment.
Jordan was such a golden-retriever type, and I loved every bit of it. He had some really funny moments that made me laugh. Though I wish there had been a little more context around his kidnapping, that didn’t take away from the story for me.
I’m really going to miss these characters. Getting a final scene with all of them together brought the closure I needed. I will say, this one felt darker than the previous books, purely because Eli is just that messed up, so definitely check those trigger warnings before diving in.

*This is NOT a light read, there was some dark and twisted stuff described in this book, that WILL be triggering for some people. Please be kind to yourself and check the content warnings before you dive in.*
I devoured this book faster than my morning coffee.
I had been waiting for Maddie's book ever since she ran away and it did not disappoint!
I adored her relationship with Jordan, he was a standup guy, even if they were keeping secrets from one another. What was more surprising was how much I enjoyed the twist in their story.
Enter Eligor—the man who has been the blood-hungry savage of an enforcer the entire series, the man who did twisted and wicked things to others to exact his punishment—the one who I had thought was incapable of feeling ANYTHING, but boy, was I wrong.
His story was heartbreaking to read and forced me to see him in a new light, as did his unexpected connection to both Maddie and Jordan.
The various couplings in this story weren't always consensual but they were extremely desired by the characters. Then, when they all got in on the action? Perfection.
I'm generally a M/F reader but having a M/M/F book was a nice change. It was all kinds of steamy and surprisingly sexy.
I liked how the book ended, however, I felt like Eli lost his edge near the end. Whether it was all the love thrown at him or him finally feeling a sense of belonging—I'm not sure—but, it somehow felt a little lacking.

I skipped the 3rd book b/c I didn't care enough for Cass or Cole.
This book: The spicy scenes were good but eventually I got bored...I was looking forward to it but was disappointed in the 'character development.'
-I hated how Madison and Jordan were mad at the other for lying when they, themselves, were lying as well. "If that isn't the rat calling the possum narrow-faced; The pot calling the kettle black." I hated how the characters, Madison and Jordan, never communicated but got mad at each other that they didn't know 'everything' about the each other. They were together for 15-months - did they EVER talk about ANYTHING important? Also, if someone say "I have a bad past and I don't want to talk about it" - you can't get mad when you find out about their past. They weren't ready to talk or process it.
-I hated that the only "time" the three were together was in the last 20% of the book and then Dante (Madison's Dad finds out about the threesome and looses his sh!t - even tho she's a 20-something YO woman - but he treats her like his d@mn property, like it's the 1800s and before).
-I found it absolutely ridiculous that after Madison shot Eli, that he "talked/guilted" Madison into taking all her clothes off and giving him a BJ. And I knew it - Jordan walked in on them. As previously stated, absolutely ridiculous.
I'm glad I'm done with the series - I won't read anything else by Lane Hart. I don't think her writing style is the greatest and I don't like her always 'finalizing' everything in the last 10% of the book.

-I found it absolutely ridiculous that after Madison shot Eli, that he "talked/guilted" Madison into taking all her clothes off and giving him a BJ. And I knew it - Jordan walked in on them. As previously stated, absolutely ridiculous.
I'm glad I'm done with the series - I won't read anything else by Lane Hart. I don't think her writing style is the greatest and I don't like her always 'finalizing' everything in the last 10% of the book.

Let’s get this out of the way: Wicked Little Games is NOT a light read. It’s dark, twisted, and absolutely packed with triggers, so check those content warnings and take care of yourself..ok?
Now… onto the delicious chaos.
I’ve been waiting for Maddie’s story since she bolted from Vegas, and Lane Hart did not disappoint. I devoured faster than my morning coffee!
When I first met Eli earlier in the series, he scared the hell out of me. He was intense, unpredictable, and gave off serious "don’t get too close" energy. So I was hesitant…like..he's completely unhinged.
Maddie’s trying to build a quiet life in Rockland, VA...new name, new start, same secrets. Enter Jordan, who’s also carrying a whole load of emotional baggage. Their connection is complicated but sweet, layered with tension tenderness.
And then Eli crashes in like a freaking wrecking ball
He’s a hitman, a monster by reputation… but this book peels back his layers in the most gut-wrenching way. His connection to Maddie and Jordan felt unexpected, but damn if it didn’t work. There’s heat. There’s emotional wreckage, chaos, and a lot of brokenness in this book.
The ending gave closure, even if Eli softened a bit more than I expected. But maybe that’s what healing looks like for a man who never thought he deserved it.
This book is chaotic, kinky, emotionally brutal, and unforgettable. Lane Hart took a character I feared and made me feel for him...and I couldn't put it down.

We finally get to find out where Madison ran off to!!! We had to wait and get through two whole books and numerous months to find out what happened! And it was completely worth the wait!!!
I loved that this had a Savage Kings of Rockland crossover! We’ve also been curious about how Jordan came back from that Vegas wedding with a wife of his own! Again, definitely worth the wait! Jordan and Maddie were sweet and just about picture perfect.
Eli has always been one of those characters that piqued my interest. Despite his depravity and violent tendencies, I found myself wanting to know more. His story is one I honestly didn’t see coming! I honestly thought he was a bit of a psychopath, just his nature. After learning about his childhood, everything kind of clicked into place. I was devastated for what young Eli had to go through! Eli and Maddie together were far from sweet. She was his dark obsession, but he truly cared for her.
When it was Eli and Jordan, well, things got even more interesting! Unknowingly, Eli helped Jordan come to grips with some realizations that he was struggling with.
When Eli, Jordan, and Maddie all came together, it was downright combustible! What a way to end both series!!!.

Of all 4 books in this series this is the most intense so make sure you read the trigger warnings.
It's very dark and graphic and will not be for everyone so take care before choosing this book. Personally, I liked it and it finished off the series beautifully. I recommend reading the other books before reading this one but it can be read as a stand alone. As I say this book is very dark and includes graphic male on male, male male and female, female and male sex scenes, torture, kidnapping, physical assault, manipulation, sexual violence, heavy profanity, suicidal thoughts.
This is about 3 main characters: Eli, who is the mafia boss' thug who tortures and kills anyone he is instructed to. 'Eli is a nightmare of my father's creation' 'I'm his puppet, he's my master' The mobster and the monster. I found it great to find out about Eli as he is such an intriguing character. Despite this MMF fighters role and past ww find he does have a heart and falls for the other 2 characters: Maddie Salvato (mafia boss' daughter who ran away) and Jordan, a good looking biker (of The Savage Kings bikers club) who found her at a Las Vegas bar 1 year prior.
A love triangle between the 3 develops.
Maddie: ' I just want to find a way to save the 2 men who own my body, heart and soul from my father's wrath.

Lane Hart saved the BEST story for the last book in the Sin City Mafia series! Eli has been terrorizing and murdering his way through the first three books and in this we find out where Madison has been and how Eli handles finding her. We have known that Eli is Bi because of how he has "handled" some of his torture victims but "how" it fits into Madison's story was definitely a surprise. When Madison ran away from her father to avoid an arranged marriage, she ran directly into the arms of Jordan, a character that was introduced to us in the Savage Kings MC stories. Jordan knows he loves Maddie, but he is also confused sexual due to being abused by his stepfather several years before. He can't help thinking that if he finds a man he is attracted to that maybe those feelings will either develop into something or he will know that Maddie is his one and only. Enter Eli who is a very manipulative and surprisingly and surprisingly finds he has a soft spot in his heart for Jordan while another part of him remains hard. There is an HEA at the end of this story but even if I told you what it is, it is so, so much better to read it yourself. Great series and I can't wait for the next series to be released by this author or one with her husband as co-writer.

📚Review ~ Wicked Little Games: Sin City Mafia Book 4
🖋Author ~ Lane Hart
🖋Features: Enemies to lovers, Mafia Romance
⭐️Rating: 5/5
Eli…Maddie…Jordan…WOW
Each of the Little Games series has something exciting and special to offer. And Wicked Little Games has that little something extra special spicy.
Between them (together and separately), there is a lot of tension. Will Jordan be able to bridge the gap between Eli’s past and present? Will he be able to convince Eli to give him a chance at a future with Maddie? Will Maddie open up her heart and mind to what she believes she wants? And can Jordan reconcile his past with what he wants for his future with Maddie and with Eli?
There is so much confusion with these three that their story is a swirling tide of love and chaos. It’s imperfect and messy and all about change and acceptance.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the 4th book in the Sin City Mafia series. Each book can be read as a standalone. This book does contain MF, MM, MFM scenes.
It's been a year since Maddie fled from her mafia boss father on the first plane out of Vegas and convinced a very drunk Jordan that they were married. Now, her dad's torturer is leaving her clues, letting her know he is there to bring her back home.
Jordan is in the Save Kings MC. He works as a mechanic and has a beautiful wife. He couldn't ask for a better life. Except he always feels like something is missing, that is, until he is kidnapped and shown exactly what he is missing.
Eli owes the mob boss and has been paying back his debt by being his torturer. He's good at it, even if he's tired of doing the dirty deeds for him. He's playing with fire messing around with Maddie, but he's ready to bring her home and deal with the consequences of everything he did to her.
Mafia meets MC. What more could you ask for! This book was super hot. This was my favorite book of the series, and I'm sad to see it come to an end.

I was very impressed with this book! I was dying to know what happened to Madison after reading the first book in the series, and with the third book falling a little flat for me, I was hesitant on this one. I'm so glad I read it though since it ended up being fantastic!
The spice was on point, and I loved the character development and storylines. Seeing all of them self reflect, grow, learn to trust, and find their own way was such a journey I was glad to be on with them. We finally get answers to a lot of our questions and get a deep dive into Eli. Plus Jordan's non stop monologues at times left me grinning and always wanting more. There was humor, spice, angst, and romance all wrapped up into a perfect bundle.
I would rate it 4.5 stars and I always round up in the ratings. The eyeball thing might be a bit much for me and I think there was a lot going on with the MC club that added a lot of characters with backstories that was hard to keep track of.
I did really enjoy this series and this book was definitely up there for me on favorites.

If you like dark romance, then you will love this book. Very brutal and raw Mafia and MC themed book.
This was about Mafia princess Madison who ran from her family to Rockland to live with MC member Jordan for over a year. Her father sent his torturer Eli to find her.
So many layers of story. Maddie and Jordan, Jordan and his MC members, Eli and Maddie and Eli and Jordan just to name a few. I really enjoyed the romance aspect of the book. The twosome come to a threesome. but also the darkness of the story and how Eli though brutal, he was truly a loving man underneath it all.
This story took my breath away several times. but it was a compelling story that captured me from the start. I've not read any man on man books before, generally resisting those but this was such a well done story that I truly enjoyed.
Well written, intense, danger, drama and suspenseful. again if you like dark books this is for you!! Very well done!!

My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Disclaimer: I received a review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thanks, BookSirens and the author.
General Thoughts: I have been very excited to read this one. I was curious how Lane would write Eli. He has been a very prominent and disturbing character in prior books, so I was curious what would happen in this one. I thought she did a really good job. I enjoyed how Lane dove into the three main characters. This dark romance mafia series has been a wild ride. This one was an enjoyable read. I'm glad to see this series come to a close. It was a dark one. Check your triggers. Eli has been a disturbing character and that didn't exactly end in this book.
Spice Meter: ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥.5 It was definitely spicy.
Romantic Tropes
-multi-POV
-forced proximity
-MMF/throuple/ why choose

Wicked Little Games is a dark mafia romance book, which is the fourth story in the Sin City Mafia series. Wicked Little Games follows the story of Maddie and Jordan. I absolutely enjoyed reading Wicked Little Games, I found it to be quite entertaining and enjoyable to read. In my honest opinion, I think that Wicked Little Games is a fantastic addition to the mafia romance genre. I couldn't get enough of Maddie and Jordan's amazing story, I thought it to be perfectly written, well-balanced, and perfectly executed by author Lane Hart. Wicked Little Games is both suspenseful and a definite page-turner of a book. Wicked Little Games is certainly a book that I would encourage other readers to checkout and give it a read.

If this is the end of the series, then it was done with a bang! I was not expecting the story to go this way, but it added steam and fire! Jordan has kept a secret from his family – he is bisexual but has not come out of the closet yet. Maddie is on the run from her father and is “married” to Jordan. She is keeping a lot of secrets from Jordan and his family. Then you bring in Eli, who works for Maddie’s father, but is obsessed with Maddie. He will do anything to find her and make her his!
Buckle up, Eli will help Jordan see that he is ready to come out of the closet and manipulates Maddie to believe that she must be with him in order to save Jordan. Truths are revealed, chaos erupts, and Jordan might not make it out alive!

There is so much I want to say about Wicked Little Games, but I don't want to give anything away! Maddie Salvato ran away from her father in the first book of the Sin City Mafia book, and now we know where she has been for the last year... with the best crossover I was not expecting! Lane Hart seamlessly crosses over to her Savage Kings in Rockland, VA, and Jordan, all while Eli, the enforcer for Maddie's father, is biding his time coming for her. The scream I scrempt at Maddie being with Jordan in Rockland this entire time, and how that came to be... then add in Eli, who has been a little bit of a crazy mystery throughout the series, becoming someone Maddie and Jordan both can't live without is just... chef's kiss.

This was an unexpected story. It is Maddie’s story, but also Eli’s, all in one convoluted, complicated tale. It was awesome! Maddie had more substance to her than I thought, and Eli is even more twisted, but at the same time is kind and caring. This story had many twists and turns because Eli and Maddie’s story is complicated, but also Maddie and Jordan’s is as well. They all work together perfectly and make the best throuple. I love the fact Eli’s story needed to be told, and it was shocking, but it also gave him more humanity and less psycho vibes. This book was the perfect end to this series.
September 23, 2024
This book follows Eli, the mob bosses henchmen, and his sadistic chase of the mob bosses daugher Madison. Madison left the confines of her fathers "castle" and disappeared a year ago. Eli has been looking for her everywhere. But when he finds her on the east coast, married to a member of a motorcycle club, he's not sure of his next move.
It was incredible to get to hear Eli tell his side of the story and how he became the moster that Madison has always known him to be. Eli has always wanted Madison but does she feel the same? What about her husband, what is she going to do with him now that she's been found.

This is the fourth in the Sin City Mafia, Maddie tired of living under her father's oppressive rule. She meets Jordan and lets him think they got married, and ends up going back to Virginia with him. She is living with Jordan for about a year when she feels someone watching her.
Jordan loves Maddie but he has a secret he is keeping from her, he also is attracted to men. When Eli shows up in town, he abducts Jordon with the intent of taking him out. But there is something about Jordan that makes him not want to hurt him.
This is a cross over story with the Savage Kings Virginia.
