Cartel Kings #0.5

Owned: His Demanding Boss

Rate this book
From the moment I saw him, I knew I was in trouble. Now he's my boss, and he's off limits.

Taking a job in a cartel was the last thing I wanted, but I was out of options. I'm stuck with him. My hot boss. My dangerous crush.

So I play the submissive secretary by day, and at night I lock the door on his violent world, safe in the private place I call my own.

But if he kicks down the door, I won't be able to hold back. I'd do anything for him, and he knows it. He already owns me. All he has to do is claim me.

OWNED brings together a submissive, buttoned-up twink with a catty side and a dominant, straight-acting crime boss in a high heat, dark MM crime romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. This novella is a prequel to the Cartel Kings Series, but can be read as a standalone.

Spicy 🌶️ 1/5
Drama 🎭🎭2/5
Historia 📚1/5

Es una lectura muy fácil y rápida de leer, es una introducción a la saga y si es necesario leerlo, porque da pie a los protagonistas.

El jefe Estrada tiene su actitud de dom marcado y su secretario es el cliché del pasivo casi afeminado que le gusta ser dominado y follado

Decir que es una lectura horrible es ofenderlo, siento que es el libro perfecto para empezar a leer libros con este cliché de: Mafia, Instalove, relación activo/pasivo muy marcado y una relación con final feliz.

En resumen les recomiendo mucho este libro!

Su relación en si es sana, no obligan a nadie a tener sexo, en si todo se siente bien, la verdad no me disgusto el cliche Instalove porque la autora lo hizo de esa manera para formar la pareja y funciona.

No es un libro tremendamente explícito en el spicy y espero que se extienda al libro 1 dónde la pareja es un socio de Estrada y jefe de la mafia.

I originally read this in October 2024, but it wasn't on Goodreads then. I actually dont remember anything about it, but I'm sure as hell updating my Goodreads so it can finally be accurate.

Also, the third book in this series is actually flawless, so go read Trapped: His Possessive Cellmate instead.

A good starting point. Perhaps the only reprehensible thing is the hackneyed theme of making the bottom effeminate. The lingerie issue is something I hate with my whole being. Will continue reading the saga to see how it evolves.
