The Escort
Kings of Kink
A Why Choose Standalone Novel
Sometimes a queen needs a king…or three.
My name is Madelina Mancini and as the younger sister to New York City’s most powerful mafia don, I’ve lived most of my life in the family’s protective bubble.
Until I didn’t.
Until evil found me and tried to destroy me.
Happiness seemed impossible when all I felt was emptiness. Not broken, exactly, but bent beyond the point of complete repair.
It took three beacons of light to lift me out of this never-ending downward spiral into darkness.
A billionaire, a chef, and a stone-cold killer have joined forces, with me as the glue to keep us united.
Today, I want to prove my place in this life, prove that I can pull my weight in a world where violence is the preferred currency and revenge the expected payout.
From both sides of the Atlantic, I will build my own empire as the queen of hearts to my kings of kink.
But first, blood must be shed.

Holy sex scene, Batman. BOOM! KAPOW! WHAM!
Meanwhile, back in the bedroom...
I mean, come on, ladies! Sex, violence, a British Badboy, an Italian stallion, and an American billionaire...what more could we ask for?!
What's that I hear you say? A fierce Harley Quinn type to bring them all to their knees?! CHECK ✔️
I mean, Kings of Kink is such a fitting title for this book, but it's not all about the sex. I loved how these four fit together, but most especially how the men just got it. They clicked together so smoothly and loved each other so easily. It makes a nice change to see, instead of the jealousy or one-upmanship you sometimes see in RH.

KINGS OF KINK
Release Date: 05/23/23
Kindle Unlimited: [X]YES [ ]NO
Stand-alone: [X]YES [ ]NO
Author: N. O. One
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spiciness rating: 🌶🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
POV: Multiple, first person
Main Characters: Lina, Tyler, Enzo & Devon
Genre: Dark erotic romance
Tropes: polyamorous; mafia; Dom/sub; revenge; antiheroes; tragic past; MF; MMF; MMMF; MM
Review:
After suffering a traumatic experience, Lina goes in a downward spiral she can’t seem to escape. Even getting far from the people who love her, including her two boyfriends Tyler and Enzo. When she is reaching the rock bottom, Devon, who had been watching her from some time steps out and things start going forward. Lina stops hurting herself and the ones she loves and all of them start a new relationship.
One thing I noticed in this book is how everyone is well resolved, accepting and with zero prejudice. Their relationship finds a way to be that feels organic and everyone around accepts without even batting an eye.
I confess the plot wasn’t what most attracted me to the book. The mafia background is something I like, but things were all messy most of the times. They didn’t sound “real” if I can call it like that.
This book is a standalone, but the authors bring characters from their Escort series, so if you mind not knowing all the characters backstory, you may want to check them first.

I was blessed to receive an ARC of this book. I am just blown away with how good it is. I would sneak at work and read on my phone. I stumbled on the Escort series and binge read it over a weekend. This book is just another example of great writing. You can read a lot of romance novels, and the sex scenes and verbage just become the same where nothing stands out. There is just something in their writing that stands out. Hard to explain, but they way they describe scenes is so unique. I would highly recommend starting from the beginning so you get a good feel of the characters. You will fall in love with all of them just like me, no doubt. Can not wait for the next book !!!!

I was so excited to have received an ARC of this book & I loved it so much!!! I love this whole world so much & it's been stuck in my head since. I finished the Escort series not too long ago & was absolutely hooked so this felt like a continuation for me, especially after that ending of the Forever One. I do recommend reading that series before reading this book. Obviously, you can do what you want & read however you want, but, in my opinion, the best reading experience would be the Escort series and then Kings of Kink. You get an immense amount of backstory for Lina, the FMC in Kings of Kink, in that series which, I think, helps a lot. If you read this without reading the Escort series first, you're gonna be asking yourself "Who is this? How are they involved? What did they do? What am I missing? etc" Many of the loose ends are tied up & questions are answered in this story that happened in the Escort series.
Lina. Lina. Lina. What a badass & also my heart broke for her.🥺I loved watching her grow throughout everything. I think the authors did a great job of handling her care in the aftermath of her trauma(which happens in the Escort series) & this book has her recovery & finding herself again. She also has three very sexy men to help in whatever way she needs😮💨🥵🔥🫠. Watching all of their relationships develop into this beautiful unit was incredible. Tyler, Enzo, & Devon were exactly the ones Lina needed. Actually, they all needed each other & it was amazing to read about.👸🏻🤴🏻🤴🏼🤴🏻
I highly recommend reading this book, these authors, & all their books. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single book I've read by them.
-"She's a f*cking queen in need of a king - or three."
-"A billionaire, a chef, and a stone-cold killer walk into a restaurant..."
-"Sweetheart, I love a little bit of rough play but make no mistake, if any of my men"-she points to the three of us with pride in her eyes-"were to slap me around like a worthless b*tch, I would cut his balls off."
-"The difference between Devon, Enzo, and Tyler is that they are the kings of my pleasure..."
Tropes:
-Dark Romance(as always, check your triggers)
-Mafia
-Reverse Harem(MMFM)
-Second Chance
-Mafia Princess, Bodyguard, Billionaire, Chef
-Action-Packed (In🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ & out🔫🔪💥of the bedroom)

*I received an arc read and will always write my personal opinions *
I will try not to spoil anything in my review.
This book made me laugh, cry and honestly a bit horny there and here lol. I really like the multiple pov always gives a greater perspective, and i just like it better. The characters, i loved all characters except a certain woman who was just evil. I think all characters are pretty great and not like everyone else. I loved the fmc family relations, those two were honestly great and a big part of me wants to go and read their book(s?) Because i loved them so much. I like how they treated her trauma, she was allowed to set boundary, have consent, push people away. But at the same time they needed her to heal. I will say one thing, it felt like the trauma played a very big part of this book. And a big part of me felt like i probably should have read the book with her "friend "to understand better. They talked so much about how her trauma happened and which people were there, it's a bit shame because i really got the feeling that i should have read that before (even though you didn't have to) i do believe it would be better and understand more if you read the escort series before. That was actually my only negative feedback. I love the kinks, the men , the personality, the healing from trauma, and most of all the protective men . I have actually missed reading reverse harem with protective men, it's always a big plus In my book. I was a bit sad to read about one of her men's family situation (trying not to spoil). Like I said the only negative feedback i really have is the trauma which happened to the fmc Is in another book. I kinda wished there were a prequel about that before this one considering some of her men was there. But this book was so good, it really tugged on my heartstring. The fmc had a special part in my heart , and i loved a specific kink she had which you don't often see in female characters. I hope there's more book to come in this world series because I'm intrigued and interested. But i definitely recommend this book.

Wholly cheese and crackers with a ton on jalapeños!
This book was HOT from start to finish that I literally could NOT, did NOT want to put it down!
I am soooooooooooo honored to have read the escort series and then pick right back up with this one because I was seriously having withdrawals.
With that being said… I loved EVERYTHING about this story. Now, if you know me… you know I don’t run (unless it’s for food, books, or I'm being chased), but I encourage YOU to run and pick this book up and experience what I did.
But if you have NOT read The Escort series… best you start there first!
Happy Reading

Okay this was my first read from these author and holy freaking hold into ur panties because this baby is straight up fire! Lina is a fighter she’s fierce and she is the ultimate baddie that i am all for! Her men lord help me they are all hot af. Each of these characters have a back story and they all are a bit damaged or have to work through their issues but they each bring something to the table that helps complete their epic bond! I really cannot put into words how amazing this book was. From beginning to end I was glued to the pages because I needed to know what was going to happen and how it was all going to work out.

Highly Recommend
Devon can be my Daddy ANYDAY, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. The man will make you a bit damp, reaching for your favourite bedroom accessories (IYKYK).
After reading The Escort Series, I have been desperate for Lina's book and it did not disappoint. I love Lina, and loved getting to watch the growth and strength that Lina portrays especially after what happened. This book pulled and pulled at my heartstrings, pulling my emotions everywhere, going from teary to laughing within pages. You can read this book alone but would highly recommend you read The Escort first. I loved Tyler from the very beginning and Enzo at times, but I do have to admit even with Daddy D, my favourite has become Enzo. I loved getting to see a softer side to him, he's so sweet. The Group Activities are SOOOOO HOT... Like expect Niagara Falls happening.
Highly Recommend!

5 ⭐️ Steam: 4/5. Strong Language: 3/5. Characters: 5/5. Plot: 5/5
CW listed at end to avoid spoilers.
This is a dark, mafia standalone romance. The events in this book take place after The Escort series by N.O. One. You do not have to read one to enjoy the other. If you want to read them in order and wish to avoid spoilers for The Escort series, read those first.
Madelina ‘Lina’ is a mafia princess. She was meant to be beautiful, cherished, and protected..until the unthinkable happened. When this story begins Lina is trying to heal from a vicious attack that has shaken her confidence in herself and caused her to doubt her relationships with the men she loves.
Tyler is a successful, billionaire entrepreneur who rules everything around him but couldn’t prevent Lina’s assault.
Enzo is the enforcer to the mafia Don. It was his job to keep Lina safe both professionally and personally. He can’t forgive his failure.
Devon is a transplanted London mafia boss who met Lina ‘after’ and provides her with much needed control.
The trio of men help Lina heal from a devastating ordeal but more importantly, SHE takes the reins of her recovery. Lina is the mistress of her own fate. The guys are amazing and have made my permanent book boyfriend list but Lina is a true warrior Queen. She is strength, resilience, and courage personified.
This book will take you on the full journey of emotions. While it is a dark romance and has plenty of v!olence and mature themes, there was also love, support, humor, and plenty of feels. It’s the complete package.
Content Warnings: Sexual A$$ault (remembered, not between MCs), Graphic V!olence, Mu£der, Drug and Alcohol Abu$e, A$$ault, Grief, Death of Loved One, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, K!nk, Self Harm

This book was amazing!! I absolutely adored all of the main characters and fell in love with Enzo, Tyler and Devon. Lina deserved the best and let me tell you, she got it! The growth between all four of them was perfect and the spice was oh so delicious. I could not put this book down!!

I really enjoyed reading this one, it had me hooked as soon as I heard it was Why Choose and it didn’t disappoint me at all. I love how strong Madelina was as a character and I adored the dynamics between her and the 3 men. The spicy scenes were also excellent

I'm no longer surprised by how good these books are
I thought the escort series was awesome but this might be my favourite so far. It had it all... quite literally. May the future books be their equal.

Marketed as a stand alone spin off, but this is actually the ending to the escort series' story told from a different point of view. This book was epic and made up for all the flaws of the series before it!

I have to say, this is not my favorite of N.O. One's books, but I still enjoyed it. Not yucking on anyone's yum, but this just isn't my kink. That being said, I still am happy to know Lina's story and love all the characters. Devon just might be my favorite.
I found myself completely lost in the story and so happy for Lina and how strong she is, as well as the extreme support she receives from her family.
N.O One, you did it again, and I can't wait to hear J's story next!

Well. “Kings of Kinks” was a by N.O. One was a WILD ride! A true story of a three Kings coming together and worshiping their Queen in every single way. And no, I don’t mean in a sweet, golden retriever kind of way — blood is spilled and violence is doled out! I mean, what do you expect? A mafia enforcer, a CEO billionaire, and a successful NYC Chef/London gang leader are involved with a mafia princess! The MCs have to overcome the impossible as the FMC is healing from a terrible event that happened in Italy. She’s spiraling and meets a sexy Brit that gets under the skin of the enforcer and billionaire. When the FMC puts the drugs down and allows herself to have her men, she becomes their entire world.
What I loved most about this book, besides the steam and the violence, is how N.O. One develops the MCs. Lina has to heal from something traumatic and lets her men help her. Enzo has to let go of his guilt and his found family has to help him. Tyler has to learn to let go of control sometimes and Devon, the cheeky Brit, helps him. Devon… he’s a force to be reckoned with and when he connects with Lina and her men, he opens his heart and world to them. The big scary Butcher of London softens for his family. It’s character development I appreciate! And it’s all happening while the gang is defending their family empires and destroying their enemies.
I actually came in at the tail end of this universe and now I want to go back and read the first six books! If you’re like me, start with The Escort series because there are spoilers in KOK — but I like to do things backwards apparently 🤣 This story is all of my favorite tropes rolled into one! My one gripe? Why didn’t the MMCs explore each other more?! IYKYK. Regardless, I love Lina and I love her men!
Someone’s story is coming next… who is it? 🤔🤔

"What he’s offering for now is easy, and I kind of like that he isn’t giving me choices because I’m not sure I’d make the right ones anyway."
Oh, man. This was a hard one. The self-destructive path Lina was going down is a path I've traveled and know so well. I couldn't be angry or disappointed in her because it's something I know. Lina is doing drugs, drinking, having sex, and all that to try to quiet the voices in her head. I feel that. I understand that. There's a lot of guilt and anger. Ugh! Poor Lina.
"I’m done with being the shrinking violet. I’ll never be a victim again. I’m a survivor."
I'm so proud of the incredible growth Lina made thanks to Devon, but also Enzo and Tyler finally got their heads out of their asses!! I'm so glad she has such an amazing support system, even if Freya tried to destroy it. Man I knew that bitch was untrustworthy. So glad I was right! Though everything she did, ugh, makes me so angry.
“This is a war wound you won’t feel ashamed of. But you need to let the scar form, let it heal, let it be a reminder of how fucking strong you are. It’s nothing to be ashamed of or be sorry for."
River is amazing! The support she gives to Lina is unparalleled! She gave Lina space while also being supportive. She didn't try to control Lina or talk about how disappointed she was in her. I just love that! Sometimes, you need that when you are spiraling.
"You are my shining light, my beacon in the darkness, my world, my everything. I’m looking forward to our next adventures."
The ending with all of the guys together is exactly what I wanted. Devon, head of the British gang, Enzo, mafia enforcer, and Tyler, CEO billionare. Who knew they'd all fit together, but they do.

Lina is doing drugs, drinking, having sex, and all that to try to quiet the voices in her head. I feel that. I understand that. There's a lot of guilt and anger. Ugh! Poor Lina.
"I’m done with being the shrinking violet. I’ll never be a victim again. I’m a survivor."
I'm so proud of the incredible growth Lina made thanks to Devon, but also Enzo and Tyler finally got their heads out of their asses!! I'm so glad she has such an amazing support system, even if Freya tried to destroy it. Man I knew that bitch was untrustworthy. So glad I was right! Though everything she did, ugh, makes me so angry.
“This is a war wound you won’t feel ashamed of. But you need to let the scar form, let it heal, let it be a reminder of how fucking strong you are. It’s nothing to be ashamed of or be sorry for."
River is amazing! The support she gives to Lina is unparalleled! She gave Lina space while also being supportive. She didn't try to control Lina or talk about how disappointed she was in her. I just love that! Sometimes, you need that when you are spiraling.
"You are my shining light, my beacon in the darkness, my world, my everything. I’m looking forward to our next adventures."
The ending with all of the guys together is exactly what I wanted. Devon, head of the British gang, Enzo, mafia enforcer, and Tyler, CEO billionare. Who knew they'd all fit together, but they do.

I was HONORED to read an advanced copy of this book for the epic duo that is N.O. One. I stumbled across a review of The Rich One when I was looking for a dark romance. I read page one of book one and was instantly hooked. Could not turn away. Escort Series follows River and is an amazing must read series. This is a spinoff standalone of Lina and her men. This is a why choose dark romance that could be read as a stand alone (but seriously you really don’t want to sleep on the escort books).
***This book should NOT be read prior to the Escort series. It will contain spoilers***
Lina is a feminine powerhouse that has brought together 3 unlikely studs, a billionaire, a chef and a stone cold killer. They worship her and will do anything to keep her safe and happy. This story follows Lina as she goes from complete self destruction to seeking revenge and taking her life back. There are so many twists and turns in this story. There are also a few appearances of River, which I absolutely loved getting a little update on where she is now. This story is spicy, funny, dark and had me staying up late for one more chapter. Don’t hesitate. Pre-order it now. And if you haven’t already, read the (now completed series) starting with The Rich One while you’re waiting for this book to launch live.
Favorite quotes to further convince you to read.
"Sucking off Batman, while dressed as a slutty bunny, isn’t how I pictured this night going."
"No matter that I’ve seen her naked and writhing beneath my touch over a hundred times, I refuse to expose her skin without her consent. Period."
“Enjoy the view, mate?”
Without hesitation, I answer. “I did, yes.”
"I’m done with being the shrinking violet. I’ll never be a victim again.
I’m a survivor."
"Hours later, I wake up from our sleep fest where Lina was lying across the bed with a body part on top of each of us."

Heat level: 5/5. I don't even know where to start. First, this is a spinoff to The Escort series. It IS standalone, you don't need to read the series first, HOWEVER, there are some serious spoilers for that series in this book. So, if you're planning on reading the series, read it first because 1 it's a steamy awesome series and it's totally worth it, and 2 it'll give you a great read on each character and how they are before you even get to this book.
Now, THIS book deals heavily with SA, more specifically the aftermath and how this queen rises from the ashes stronger than ever so don't read if it's a trigger for you.
Lina, my queen, is over here living her life with THREE men at her service tending to her every need and fantasy, and dear gods it's HOT. A billionaire, a British chef, and an Italian mafia member worship her like the goddess she is. Kinks galore, my dudes. Enough said. No? You want more? Fine. At some points in this insane book I said "Get you dinner and a 3 dick dessert!" and "What in the frick frack paddy whack is happening!? I can't even" because I legit lost my ability to even. Just read it and thank me for my review hooking you later and thank our queens for writing this story!

I was SO happy to find out Lina was going to get a book of her own, she really shone throughout River's story and after everything she had to endure, she needed all he love she could get 🥺 and so to also find out she was having her own harem? Yes I was SO 👏 HERE 👏 FOR 👏 IT 👏
I fell in love with these guys from getting to know them in the Escort series, but the way these guys just WON'T give up on Lina had me falling for them all over again 🥰
True to its title this story is jam packed with kink, steamy scenes and spice that will have your fingertips tingling as you clutch your kindle with dear life, because in true Misses Noone fashion, it's one hell of a ride!
This is a spin off from the Escort Series but you don't necessarily need to read it beforehand, HOWEVER, I highly recommend you do because there's spoilers and you know as well as I do that you're going to want to devour it after this! 🖤

I’m going to start with the fact that this was the story we all desperately needed to help us handle the end of The Escort Series. I don’t want to spoil this journey for anyone so I’m going to be as careful as possible. I was not as prepared as I thought I was for all the feelings that I had, because I’m pretty sure I ran most of the emotions at least once if not more while reading this. I adored each of these four characters from the first time we were introduced and their story truly made me adore them even more! The way that each of them struggled mentally at different points was extremely relatable and just drew me in further, and the absolute acceptance was the final clinch in being drawn in totally. A reread of the series & this standalone will definitely happen, probably multiple times!

I love a why choose romance and this one was really spicy. I loved the dynamics between all the men & Madelina. The hotel room and kitchen scene…hot d@m! I love that each guy brought something different to the table, but also were similar in certain ways. Who can’t get behind and love three men that are in love & obsessed with the same woman? This one was also action packed at times. My only issue is you def probably need to read The Escort series to get a full understanding of the trauma that goes on in this book. You can definitely still read this as a standalone. I also just felt like some of the transitions were a bit choppy. But overall, I really enjoyed reading this one!

(Thank you Candi Kane PR and the author N.O. One for the eARC in exchange for an honest review)
A first from the author, I have to say it is a good start to them.
As stated as a forewarning, this book is a spinoff from the Escort series which I did not read. But I was able to read it without getting confused.
What an amazing beginning to the book. The personalities in Lina's dream harem—a mafia guy, a chef, and a billionaire—intrigued me with each of their depths and backstories, keeping me interested in the book. I appreciated the mafia trope and how there was a subplot about revenge. Though I believe men in RH are frequently protective, this harem is a little more special and I loved the sensitivity and space it provided to Lina.
The pace was somewhat abrupt and some sections could have used more development and exploration, but I still found it to be enjoyable.

Lina went through a horribly traumatic experience and descended into a downward spiral of drinking and drugs. She was all too happy to feel nothing and forget everything…including her boyfriends Tyler & Enzo.
Devon seemed to be the glue that brought them all back together. I loved him from the very first Batman scene and he continued to be my favorite throughout the whole book. He just seemed to hold everyone together and fit in so flawlessly. Enzo was the broody, quiet one and Tyler was the more dominant, preppy “rich boy”. I very much enjoyed seeing the relationships blossom between the three guys as well. Very heartwarming and closer to the end..super hot 👀🥵

What a ride!! This book was more than Lina finding herself again. It was a total revolution for all the men in her life as well. I truly love the relationship between Lina and River, as it ties the two series together beautifully. But what really made this story was the relationship between the guys. The way they were all so open to being a family and helping Lina become the person she needed to be was just... *chefs kiss*
I had a guess at what the guys kinks may have been before this was released, and let me tell you... you'll never guess! Haha.
One of my favourite lines has to be when Enzo asks "who's Bobby? We haven't met him, have we? Did you catch a Bobby at the pub?" 😅
I know my review has very minimal spoilers but didn't want to possibly ruin anything for anyone.

I received an ARC and man was I not ready for this book. Our main girl Lina has gone through a lot and loose sight of things at the start. With the help and love of her guys, the sexy Italian Enzo, the billionaire American Tyler, and the sassy Englishman Devon, she begins of the path of healing past traumas and this new relationship. Not only is there a TON of really good smutt and *hot* unexpected kinks but the relationship between these four also highlights the romance and found family aspect. If you like danger, mafia, healing/found family and lots of smutt, you will probably very much enjoy this book.
The only thing I did have a problem with is that it seemed to me like I was missing some information and because of that the book seemed like started in the middle of a story already. Now there is a whole series before this book that I didn’t read before hand which was probably my problem. So be warned that if you read this without reading the before series you may feel a little confused at the beginning. With that being said it was still a fantastic book!

A few months ago I had the privilege to read N.O.’s “The Escort” series and I was hooked immediately. They write stories that play out as a movie in my mind and that’s my favorite.
In KOK, we get Lina’s story, and it’s a good one, filled with drama, suspense, and spice that is going to make you 🥵. I mean they don’t know the meaning of “fade to black”, but even with the amount of spice, there is still a storyline and character development.
I will say this, KOK is a standalone, but all of these characters are from the previous series and your experience is going to be 100 times better if you read those first. There are 6 books but don’t let that scare you, they are all readily available and just too good to miss.
