Rate this book
One night with a stranger ignited a fire I couldn't extinguish.

He was everything forbidden, everything dangerous—wrapped in power and mystery.

I didn't know his name, only the way his touch branded me as his, searing his presence into my soul.

Years later, I'm back in his world, living in the shadows, hiding the secret that binds us together.

He's the ruthless kingpin hunting a card counter who defied him.

He doesn't know it's me.

He doesn’t know what I’m keeping from him.

But the truth is a ticking time bomb, and when it finally explodes,
it won’t just expose my secret—it’ll consume us both, leaving nothing but fire and ashes in its wake.


Unspoken Obsession is the final installment of the Casino King Series, bringing the journey of dangerous secrets, forbidden desire, and the gritty criminal underworld to its breathtaking conclusion. This dark mafia romance explores themes of control, betrayal, and obsession that may be triggering for some... but promises a hard-earned, deeply satisfying happily ever after.

I received an advance readers copy and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review

I was waiting for what felt like a lifetime for this instalment of Casino King Series and it didn’t disappoint, I couldn’t put it down.

The chemistry between Frankie and Dante was sensational for the first time they met.
This storyline involves human trafficking, mafia family wars, secrets, lies, betrayal and so much more I strongly recommend you give this series a try you won’t regret it.

If you enjoy Mafia romance with a lot of spice and drama this is for you

He was everything forbidden, everything dangerous - wrapped in power and mystery. I didn't know his name, only the way his touch branded me as his, searing his presence into my soul.

“Unspoken Obsession” is the final installment of the “Casino King Series”, bringing the journey of dangerous secrets, forbidden desire, and the gritty criminal underworld to its breathtaking conclusion. This dark mafia romance explores themes of control, betrayal, and obsession ... but promises a hard-earned, deeply satisfying happily ever after.

After a one night stand at a masked ball with a sexy stranger, Franki finds out that she is pregnant. She does not know what the father looks like except that he has piercing blue eyes and that he is drop dead gorgeous or his name. Afraid for the safety of her baby, due to her is father is, she runs and hides in a small town, hoping he won’t find her. After a couple of years, he finds her and is forced to return home or else ….

Dante “Can’t stop thinking about her. Her bright green eyes, how her gold dress curved over her perfect body. Her luscious lips. The thrill of it all.” After three years he still hopes she might turn up again at his casino. “No woman has caught my eye since that night. They're all bland, and uninteresting, and never get my heart racing.” Until know …. a special game is set up to catch a “cheat/card counter” that goes by the name of Franki. He is shocked to discover that Franki is a woman and an extremely attractive one at that. “She reminds me of the woman in the gold dress, the little fox from the gala.”

“He has been watching me all night. And from the moment I locked eyes with him, I had this crazy feeling that I knew him from somewhere.” Everything heats up very quickly between them, Franki is wondering if he is the mystery man from the gala and the father of her son. What will happen when he finds out who her father is? Will he still love her and protect them? Is Damion his son? So many questions to answer?

This is such a beautiful love story that is so intense - a love that will last forever, in both good and bad times! The story is full of passion, intrigue, romance, danger, drama, betrayal,twists and turns around every corner! The book goes from pages sizzling with hot wanton sex, to extreme violence to the most beautiful tender moments! I’m very happily hooked 😊 I did not want it to end!

The “Casino Kings” is a brilliant series and I have loved every book. As per the previous three books, this one is a thoroughly enjoyable read from page to page, one chapter to the next - at times you are metaphorical “on the edge of your chair” wondering what will happen next. Overall, I would highly recommend this book and you will not be disappointed 😊

Part of the Casino King series each can be read as a standalone hang on on and you might want to make sure to double check that you are buckled up, dangerous men, alpha’s personified possessive, oh so gorgeous, brooding all three makings of a story consisting with the three D’s (dark, delicious, and dirty) 😊. There will be suspense, darkness, secrets revealed, hope, forgiveness, and maybe even love somewhere along the way! Frankie is sweet when she want or needs to be but she has learned from a very controlling not so nice father in fact down right evil father who rules everything /everyone with an iron fist literally to get away from it all she plays blackjack not for gambling but for the escape where she can be herself but counting cards is her thing knowing getting caught would be a death sentence for her with her father despite knowing this but it makes her feel something so she continues and when it time to attend the party she meets a masked stranger that turns her world upside down but he is everything that could every dream of especially when her father controlled everything except her thoughts, her dreams. Dante sexy as all get out owner of the casino but so much more underground but there are issues with his shipments getting to the bottom is his goal and yet he can’t get the one night of passion out of his mind with his girl. Fast forward he is the kingpin and she lives in the shadows with a secret that will continue to get older but how will he feel about a child, what will her father do about a child, he doesn’t take her freedom to well, will Dante find his sister will he get the closure or find her alive, and where are they headed will she find peace, happiness?

It's you by MeemsAngel82

This was an entertaining read and I didn't know just where it would take me! The two of them have great chemistry and when the second meet comes it just goes to show that they are meant for one another. They have a complicated relationship and yet still are drawn to one another despite danger and the life they have.

In fact she has a mafia life as well as he will find out. He will find out just who she is and what she had hidden from him and whose daughter she was.

I do so wish that the finding out part was a little more dramatic in a way. I also feel that because I would have liked the reveal sooner. Dangerous man or not which she had no clue about at first anyway, you have his child and yet don't say a word. And for so long? He didn't do anything to her and deserved to know. I liked her but that just isn't right and as much as her father is a danger all the more to say something to this man. And it turns out he protected her better than her on her own. That says something, what a shame she hid something so important. He is apparently wonderful because he didn't even get upset! At least this little family is finally together and happy. And the surprise at the end! That was a wonderful gift! A lovely family.

The masquerade charity ball at the casino is where Dante and Francesca meet for the first time. Everyone in attendance wears a mask to be anonymous. Dante and Francesca are taken with each other, they feel the strong attraction. The time spent together is intense. Francesca's ( Frankie ) father Antonio Musetti has controlled her all of her life. Frankie decides, because of the situation she needs to leave town secretly. Even though changes happen in their lives, they still think of each other often. This story is so captivating and the characters are wonderful and well-written. There is suspense, danger, secrets, excitement, passion, and steam.

UNSPOKEN OBSESSION is the fourth installment in the CASINO KING SERIES. UNSPOKEN OBSESSION has three POVs which are the following Francesca, Dante, and Frankie. UNSPOKEN OBSESSION is the second chance story of Dante and Frankie. I couldn't get enough of Dante and Frankie's second chance at love, I found this book to be filled with passion and high-stakes drama. The chemistry between Dante and Frankie is full of passion and overall electrifying. Author Kya Lane continues to write entertaining and enjoyable mafia romance stories that captures the reader's attention right at the beginning of the book and holds it all the way through the story. UNSPOKEN OBSESSION is definitely a book that I would give as a recommendation for anyone who enjoys reading mafia romance stories.

Book 4 in the Casino King series is Unspoken Obsession and it's a great, dark, forbidden, second chance story.

Francesca/Frankie Musetti

"A beautiful, but deadly tale of adventure and - passion."

Dante Russo

"I am a figment of your imagination. Nothing but a shadow."
"A dark and mysterious shadow."

These two are absolutely explosive together! The chemistry is off the charts HOT and their story is a whirlwind of emotions, danger, chaos and drama. The tight rein that,Frankie's father has on her and the things he does, not just to her but Dani too means he seriously needs to be dealt with in a big way. This story is compelling and keeps you captive until the very end.

Great story!

Dante is a mafia boss. He owns a few casinos. One night he held a masked casino ball. He met a beautiful woman in a golden slinky dress. They fell for on another and had sex. Frankie’s father was a mafia boss but a bad one. She and Dante never told each other who they were. Frankie had to get away from her father, she found out she was pregnant. She moved to Canada and had her son. Three years went by and her father found her. She needed to move back to Vegas or he would take her son. There are so many avenues of adventures that you need to read. You won’t be disappointed.

This book had it all. Mafia princess, Frankie, trying to get away from her father’s lifestyle. Then you have the sexy casino owner, Dante, who’s trying to figure out what’s going on with his shipments and to find his sister. The two meet at a masquerade ball and had such a spicy night that neither one can forget. Secrets being hidden and a world to uncover. You have to love the chemistry between the two. I enjoyed this book. Didn’t realize it was in a series that I will be reading.

OMG 😱 this was an steamy page turner and the suspense was undeniable and intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. Mafia drama is the best drama and emotion. Dante and Francesca chemistry was sexual tension and the physical intimacy was sensation of forbidden romance. He was intrigued with her in this moment of passion and romance in this spicy action packed of emotions in this mafia world.
I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed. I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion. Trina Jones

This is Book 4 in the Casino King Series by this author, and can be read as a standalone. It is a second chance romance between Frankie and Dante, who had a one night stand four years ago. These flawed but likeable characters and the unique plot make for an intriguing read. Once they reconnect, it is a bumpy ride with drama and steam, sexual tension and chemistry, family dynamic, twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. An emotional page turner.

Dante and Frankie. They meet one night. They spend one night together. They part ways, no names no addresses. She escapes her fathers evil possessiveiness but he finds her fours years late with her secret in tow. She meets her one night stand again and her father uses her son to blackmail her so to protect her son she has to confide in Dante. This story is suspensful, intriguing, danger, entertaining and intriguing. Loved it.

Not good

It read like it was written by a teenager. There's no imagination or structure. The book jumps years in one chapter. It was also unbelievable in a sense that the mafia princess who was supposedly locked up was not pure. And what was the point of depriving the father of his son even after reconnecting. It made no sense and it reminded me as to why I don't bother with secret child romances because there's never a reason to keep a child from their father unless the child's life or welfare is at stake.

Not bad

Frankie, bless her heart, possessed an intellect sharp enough to slice through academic debates, yet navigated life with the finesse of a blindfolded tightrope walker. Dante, that wannabe mafia maestro, proved about as intimidating as a kitten trying to play detective - if he couldn't track down basic information about a woman, his "powerful" reputation was nothing more than a tissue-thin facade. The narrative? Let's just say it had more potential than a startup's first pitch deck, but fell flatter than day-old soda.

Not dark

Rank grew up having no control or no say about anything regard ever life. Her life was not her own. Dante was very successful, but unhappy. He had been looking for his sister for many years, with no success. Dani and Dante met at one of his parties. No names and a one nite interaction, but turned out to be the best nite she ever had. Not long both of their lives were never the same.
Good love story.

Mafia romance

Frankie’s father is a controlling mafia king in Las Vegas. He controls every aspect of his daughter’s life. When he has to go out of town Frankie sneaks into a rival casino’s masquerade ball where she meets a masked stranger. Neither give their names and have a wild few hours of fun.

Will she ever find her masked friend? What would she tell her dad. There are so many turns to this story. You’ll love it.
