The fourth story in the Mafia Kingpins Series which can be read as a standalone. A enticing meet-cute with a shower and cuffs leads to a chaotic danger filled love journey between Angelo and Blake. Blake is a strong, independent bounty hunter but her life changes when she apprehends Angelo Rossi, dangerous, ruthless, and deadly. I enjoyed their story full of hot chemistry, mafia, protectiveness, misunderstandings, spice, trust, found family and love.

Butterfly cuffs an Angel

We are back the world of Mafia Kingpins with His to Possess, the fourth book in the series. The story is about Blake Serrano and Angelo Rossi who have a wild ride to their HEA. She is a bounty hunter who has been hired to nab a man but makes a wrong turn and ends up with Angelo. He is the youngest of the brothers and just as dangerous as the others. She has a routine where everything goes as planned. That all changes when she slaps the cuffs on a very wet Angelo. He is quickly approaching thirty and starting to wonder if he will be single for the rest of his life. When when he finds a beautiful woman holding a set of cuffs for him to put on he knows his life is about to change. What neither of them expected was to have to rely on each other when both their names appear on a kill list and everyone seems to be out to take them down. She may have gotten the wrong man but he will turn into the right one before their ordeal is over....

- Caught the wrong guy, or not? -

Blake, a young bounty hunter, who learned to be tough and rely solely on herself.
She is onto her next job and when she catches someone, she thought she catched the right guy.
Angelo couldn’t believe his luck, when a young, gorgeous woman stands in his bathroom, WHILE he is showering and demands he to put handcuffs on himself.
He has no problem doing that for her.
When she realizes she has got the wrong guy, it’s too late to return.
Now they are both on the run and it’s his turn to keep them safe.
It’s a beautiful story, full of danger, misunderstandings, spice, love, protection, trust, drama and change.
This book is exciting, lovely and doesn’t let you leave it til you end it!.

This is Angelo’s story, he is the youngest Rossi brother and not as involved in the family as his other brothers. When a contract is taken out on Angelo, Blake accepts the contract and kidnaps Angelo. Unfortunately, this is a case os mistaken identity and Blake and Angelo are soon on the run together when they both have contracts take out, but this time on their lives.

I really enjoyed this book. I have loved all the books in this series but I really loved Blake and how she is a total bada$$$. I loved how Angelo was instantly intrigued by Blake and when they were forced together their chemistry was off the charts. This book has a little bit of everything and it the pages to see what happens next. This book also has amazing side characters. Steamy and fun read.

Blake is a bounty hunter - fearless, tenacious, bada— loner who is not afraid to go after anyone on the hit list. She is known for always getting her man! And then it happens -she gets the wrong man! Now Blake realizes her mistake when she finally believes Angelo is in the mafia. He doesn’t know what is happening but now both Blake and Angelo are on the hit list. This couple together are so crazy good. It’s comical, seductive, passionate, fresh, sexy, smoking hot and yes passionate. Angelo has been a carefree, playboy jetting around the world partying, but he is unable to resist her. Will the wrong guy end up being the right guy? Loved the characters - so good together! Great storyline - being in the mafia and being a hit woman doesn’t have to be dark!.

Angelo Rossi, youngest Rossi brother, "Fast cars, faster women, and zero commitments. That's my motto."

Blake, bounty hunter,
"I’m a tenacious, fearless bad*^* woman who isn’t afraid to go after anyone."

Book 4 in the Mafia Kingpins series is Angelo and Blake's story and it's a fantastic, fast-paced read. Everything is so simple for these two, until it isn't. One little mistake, one little case of mistaken identity, has opened up a whole new situation. Things get tense real quick all because of a kidnapping gone wrong. Angelo and Blake's story is full of danger, drama, excitement, chaos, surprises. There's definitely not a dull moment from beginning to end. I don't think these Rossi guys know how to do it any other way! Another great addition to this series!

Blake makes the biggest mistake of her life as a bounty hunter, kidnapping the wrong man.
Angelo Rossi's brothers were the head of the Italian mafia and Angelo is the youngest.
He doesn't know what to make of being kidnapped but it becomes more real when a bounty us put on there heads by another mafia.
This is the forth book in this series and so far Angelo us and not married, but thinking it's time now he's met Blake.
The Rossi's just have to get rid of Carmine Gallo who wants them all dead.
Brilliantly written, loved it.

Blake "Butterfly" Serrano is a bounty hunter, gets notified of a job, she is not sure she is going to take it, but in the end she does. She goes to the health club to pickup one John Grady. She finds him in the shower, he is gorgeous, she cuffs him. Angelo is intrigued by the gorgeous women that interrupted his shower and wants to cuff him.

Unfortunately, for Blake she has kidnapped the wrong man, Angelo is a Rossi Mafia Prince, not her target. Things take a turn when they are both put on a kill list and have to go on the run. Angelo knows she is the one for him and is determined to keep her close to him.

This was a great story, we are taken along in the life of Blake and Angelo. Blake is a bounty hunter and prides herself on never making mistakes. But it is different now because after much deliberation she accepts the assignment because of the generous reward that comes with it, when she thinks she has found the right person she later finds out that Angelo is not the person she was meant to have. That is the start of their journey together, they are faced with drama, danger, tension, action and enough romance.

I was absolutely mesmerised reading this book and I am hooked, the story was written well and the characters were sensational. This story is about Blake, and Aurora, Aurora, is a bounty hunter she was given a job to do, when the person got wind of her trying to hunt him he changed bags. Blake comes from a well known mafia family, he has been kidnapped and now he is playing around with her. As she try's not to fall in his bed she finds out that they both have bounties on their heads. The chemistry between them hot and spicy.

Blake has a spotless work record. That is until she kidnaps the wrong target. Then all hell is let loose. Feeling somewhat responsible she and Angelo are now on the run for their lives.

Whilst sparks fly between these two the mafia families are left gunning for a nefarious outsider.

Blake is used to being a capable loner her whole life. Angelo is the consummate playboy. Can these two very different individuals find common ground and save themselves in the process.

A fantastic series finale. Fast paced, funny, action packed and steamy. Superb.

His to Possess was an exciting, suspenseful and spice book. I really enjoyed this book, it kept me on the edge of my seat and turning the pages until I reached the end!! I’ve loved the Mafia Kingpins series and have reread the first three books a couple times. This one will be in my reread list this year!! I thought the storyline was original and the main characters were complex and had an instant chemistry. O can’t wait to see what comes next from Ava Gray.

I absolutely loved this book. This book was a different read from other mafia books that i have read. In a great way. I loved that it was a different read. I enjoyed Blake's character, she was a strong woman. Shame she had to learn the hard way. I loved how Angelo reacted when Blake cornered him in the shower. What a twist of events that ended up them two working together to survive. It was a great book and I enjoyed how Blake taught Angelo a few things. Great book.

His to Possess

Angelo and Blake

This 4th book centers around Angelo Rossi, the youngest brother, and Blake Serrano, a bounty-hunter, who mistakenly kidnaps him. While there is a serious side to the story, there is also some lightheartedness as Angelo and Blake fight for their lives and fall in love. Be prepared to read in one sitting.

Blake, as a bounty hunter, does not make mistakes and her track record proves it. That is until her latest assignment leads her to Angelo Rossi. He has been feeling bored and lonely lately with his siblings finding love. His attention was caught when Blake attempts to abduct him. The story was cute. Both were lonely and looking for someone to call their own, the timing was right for them.

This book about Angelo and Blake is written to perfection and I don’t mean simply 5/5 stars I mean more like 20/20 stars. OMG this romance read has the best characters, suspense and chemistry that will have you reading this book all day long until you are finished with it. I could hardly put my kindle down because I had to know exactly how the book ended. No spoilers here but you will definitely want to check this book out by Ava because it’s a keeper.

Finally get to see the playboy Angelo meet his match. Of course things are never easy for the family and there was drama, suspense, running away from the bad guys and falling for each other. Steamy, entertaining, and fun to watch it all play out and wait to see what surprises might pop up. Blake was tough yet sweet at same time so Angelo never stood a chance. But of course they had a few issues along the way too that made things interesting.

Angelo the youngest Rossi brother finds himself in a precarious situation. At first he thought it was a joke and played along, only to find out it was a very serious situation. Blake a bounty hunter kidnapped him because she thought he was someone else. The first mistake she has made in her career which landed them on a kill list. Lover this addition to the Rossi Mafia series.

Bounty Hunter Mix-up

Kidnapping the wrong man turns out to be more than Blake bargained for when it turns out the cocky target is Angelo Rossi. With an instant connection and both their lives in danger, it is no surprise that these two grow closer while in hiding. This was an action-pack read with the thrill of danger, suspense, and bounty hunters. I could not get enough of this book.

Perfectly Paired: Angelo & Blake

Angelo and his Butterfly complement each other. The flirtatious origin and execution was entertaining. Angelo has charisma and Blake brings the burst of chemistry that made this couple heat up the pages.

The mafia storyline didn’t completely hit home for me in this continuation, it felt semi mafia lite.

This was a good book. I loved the chemistry between the main characters. I loved the writing style. I loved that the author didn't drag it out and just allowed the story to flow and conclude naturally. The only reason I did not give a perfect rating is because of the fmc and some of her questionable traits. It's hard to describe that without giving away spoilers.

Mistake or fate?

This was a fun book watching these two navigate through a mistaken identity, running for their lives to an instant family. One grew up loved with many brothers & a baby sister & one grew up with no one going thru the system. I loved how Blake "caught" Angelo, and yet Angelo flew them to safety. They both were looking for something different and didn't know what it was until they were sick in the cabin. Great series!!!

Bounty hunter Blake had one job and one target only she ends up busting into Angelos shower and holding his captive, and no one has ever kept him captive like Blake does but when a bounty gets put on both their heads, the tensions heat up. Well written engaging steamy mistaken identity and more.
