Woweeee 🫣. What a story!! 🥵
Was my first book of the author as well as the first time encountering femdom & a few other tropes. I was blushing a whole lot while reading.
Would have given it 4 stars or more if I was more familiar with all the tropes in the books.
*There are a lot of trigger warnings, so be sure to check them before reading.

Okay this book!?!?!? I am in love with these two even more than I already was!! And Alessio ?! I just wanna fall in love with that man and his long flowing hair haha
Dante is surprised and not in a good way when they touch down at the top of the book in Vegas, our sweet baby is having internal struggles with the fact of wanting to keep his domme happy but also knowing it's not safe to be there. While at a s3x show the end up being taken to the office of Dantes first crush Alessio....and booooooy let me tell you the energy and mouth on this man 🖤
Watching Danica see the relationship exist between Alessio and Dante, and later her learning of their relationship and what Dante went through simply for being himself through childhood and then with Alessio was handled with such grace and love by Danica.
I truly CANNOT wait for the 4th book in this series, @mkaynoir.author you're an angel among humans with your writing truly 🖤

I was very pleasantly surprised by this novella. The depth of character growth was well done and the story had an excellent and well developed plot with a good balance of history and a decent spice level.
It is a MMF story set with a background of organized crime, so there are mildly violent undertones and some trauma regarding sexual orientations, but the 'action' was very well handled with an agreeable overarching message of consensual intent.
I loved the dynamic between our two MCs; thee end notes refer to further novellas in their story which I intend to find. Overall it was a very entertaining story to squeeze between some of my longer reads.

Wow what a read 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️! This femdom novella if full of spice mixed with the mafia world. The character arc in such a short story was great! And I love a book that not only ends right but shows what happens in the future timeline, chefs kiss. The spicy time is just 🥵! With many troupes here such as age gap, FMM, voyeurism, non traditional gender roles, queer friendly, cockholding, orgasm withholding, humiliation, pegging, and pain and praise kinks to name a few. It even explores mental health and homophobic trauma. It was beautifully well written and a great read! 10/10 would recommend

Thank you, M Kay Noir, for the opportunity to read this as an ARC reader.
Danica and Dante’s story continues to develop in this book from where we left them in Danica’s revenge. The story follows their development further as a couple, Dante the strong mafia boss, the sub and Danica his strong-willed partner, the dom. This story also introduces another aspect to their relationship, polyamorous relations, which introduces yet another dynamic to their relationship development.
The writing as always is superb and the spice top notch! Cannot wait for the next instalment.

This book is just WOW.
The spice level is 5⭐️🌶. You get to smile and blush at the same time!! I was hooked on this🥰 Be sure to check out the trigger warnings if you are sensitive to them. But otherwise you will be addicted!!!
A word of caution: This HEA romantic suspense is super spicy, full of action, and does not care one bit for traditional gender roles. Expect a queer-friendly, multi-partnered novella filled with the kind of opulence and temptation that only Vegas can bring.

Valentine for Dante is a spicy novella that shows a different side to Danica & Dante’s relationship. This novella introduces us to Alessio, someone from Dante’s past, who turns Danica & Dante’s world upside down. This is a VERY spicy one that at times will definitely make you blush! The author has written another great story that I could not put down. I read this one in one sitting and I am truly hoping there will be more Dante/Danica stories in the future because I absolutely LOVE these two!!

I truly love everything M.K Noir- in this Femdom M.K continues to highlight how important consent is in any relationship where new avenues are explored between the characters. Danica & Dante’s story continues to amaze me with Danica’s patience and Dante’s ability to submit beautifully to his Miss. I love everything Danica & Dante and can’t wait to read more!

Donica surprises Dante and takes him to Vegas for Valentine’s Day. He can’t be in Vegas. They are going to stay for one night. The only problem is the past is going to find them. Can they survive? Great characters and storyline. Recommended Awesome book Love Dante and Danica and their dynamic. This book was short, spicy, and mystery

OMG!!! I was certainly not expecting the turn Danica's and Dante's story took in this book. I've followed Danica and Dante from the beginning and this is probably my favorite book of this series so far. I've always loved Danica and Dante but Alessio... can't get enough of him. The spice is chef's kiss, the plot was suspenseful and interesting and I can't wait to see where their story goes next.

Valentine for Dante was a quick and incredibly spicy read. This novella explores polyamorous dynamics and is queer-positive.
M Kay Noir always does a remarkable job at providing some dark and hard content while still completely making sure consent is at the forefront of any intimate scenes.

It was my first read by this author. The storyline itself was interesting but I felt like I needed to read the back stories to understand the main characters relationship in this book. I felt like if you were familiar with the authors work its leaves a lot of open interpretation
February 29, 2024
This was a great story but I felt I needed more. I felt like it was lacking something I could not quite place. However I enjoyed the story none the less. Maybe if this was not the first book I read by this author I would have understood more.
March 13, 2025
I definitely liked this but I’m not sure if I’m happy with the way it ended. I mean I loved how it ended for Danica and Dante but I need more after that ending. Their dynamic is so intoxicating. I need more.

3/5⭐️
4/5🌶️
This was an interesting take on a Domme. There is an age gap and he’s a mafia don. It was an interesting read. It is a standalone but I definitely felt like I was missing something.

A lot happened in here. It was sweet and sad, spicy, chaotic and intriguing. Can't say it's totally my vibe, but I didn't hate it. It was a fun and quick read.

Don and Domme
This was a super spicy, thilling, and fun read. I love the dynamic of Dante and Danica and the chemistry they share with his long lost flame.

Things aren’t all hearts and roses!
Some Valentines days are full of raw unadulterated lust, danger and devotion. Valentine for Dante is book 3 in the Queens & Knights series. Without question read this series from the beginning since the characters and events flow from one book to the next and you do not want to miss a thing!
Valentine for Dante follows these intriguing characters through another intense, loving and chaotic story that strengthens their bond and opens their hearts. This is another entertaining read and now I am off to read Madame Danica next! I cannot wait to read the conclusion of this entertaining series!

I received an ARC of this book. It isn't my normal reading genre, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Spicy and full of angst.
February 28, 2024
This was my first read by this author. I enjoyed the book!
It has characters that are from a previous book yet you do not get lost and confused which I really appreciated.
Dante is a Mob boss and likes to let go of his control in the bedroom. It was an interesting look into another side of the Female Domme aspect. I have not read this style before. I enjoyed it.
Danica is the Domme and Dante’s love. She is sweet, soft, and then when she is the Domme she is all business and knows Dante’s boundaries and what he needs and wants. It was a pleasure reading that.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book did not disappoint. The vacation of a lifetime in Las Vegas filled with secrets of the past. The beauty of sin city is not lost on the characters. It feels like Danica and Dante have come so far in these standalone books since 'Beg Me Please.'
