The Boarpit: A Dark Mafia Reverse Harem Romance

by Alexandra Iff

The Boar Pit isn’t a club. It’s a cage.

Brox and Rio Boar empire is rooted in the Black Chamber, a place where the air itself is thick with power, lust, and danger.

The moment Lana is trapped inside, she feels it settle over her skin like chains she cannot break.

Every breath she takes belongs to them. Every touch ties her tighter to the brothers who claim her.

Survival means surrendering to their rules, their hunger, their obsession.

But to escape?

That would mean denying herself the one thing her body has already betrayed her for, the dark, twisted ecstasy of being used.

The BOARPIT is a reverse harem/why choose dark mafia romance full of spice and suspense that will keep you turning the pages.
Publisher’s The story is a dark romance that deals with mature themes that may be triggering for some.

Lord help me this book!!! This book was so out from left field it took me a couple days just to wrap my head around it. It is like something I have never read before that’s for sure. It was so raw and dirty and gritty and also sweet. Rio and Brox run The Boarpit and find Lana. And she becomes their favorite and stays with them in their penthouse. And let’s just say that they don’t mind to share at all. But they sure love to be called daddy. And she seems to be their perfect little pet, or is she? Because that twisted as sin ending had me all jacked up!! It really threw me for a loop because I never saw that coming from a mile away! So I am so looking forward to book two! If you love out of the box twisted rh (mmf) books with so many trigger warnings they will be coming out of your eyeballs!! Then this is the book for you!! I highly recommend it if you agree with my opinion!! ~ By Tina

Plot: 4/5 • Smut: 5/5 ————-> Not sure what I was expecting with this, but it absolutely didn’t disappoint. Everything I thought was going to happen didn’t. Kept throwing me around.


She is actually enjoying the depravity of being used left and right. A hyper sexual with needs that are absolutely being fulfilled. Always ending between her two Boar’s.


The ending to this was a shock. I didn’t think she would turn her cheek on the brothers. Granted she didn’t rat them out, but to try and start a life over in the same city? Girl, please. She has to know deep down they’re going to find her.


Sets you up for book two. Here’s to hoping this wild ride continues.


Reader beware, there’s so much smut. Equal parts plot. But so so much. Enjoy. 💦

well this was a rollercoaster ride with an ending I did not see coming. Nothing that I thought would happen happend. And I need more.

Lana is such a fierce woman. And Rio and Brox are defenitly big red flags but we love those.

✨ ARC Review ✨

Well… I did not see that coming!! 😳 After all the reading I’ve done — mafia, why choose, fantasy, dark romance, and the occasional palette cleanser — this book completely flipped my expectations upside down. What I thought were my kinks? Yeah… think again! 👀🔥

The Boar brothers are obnoxiously confident, unapologetically bold, and know exactly what they want — until Lana steps in. She’s fierce, grounded, and somehow manages to throw them completely off balance without even realising how tightly she’s got them wrapped around her finger 💅

What I loved is that while the story definitely has its dark and raw moments, it’s also deeply empowering. The FMC isn’t just enduring — she’s owning every experience, even when it’s at the whim of Rio and Brox. That twist of control? Absolute perfection 🖤

It’s raw. It’s dark. It’s stripped back but powerful. ⚠️ Definitely check the trigger list first, but if you love stories that blur the line between dominance and empowerment, this one hits hard.

I honestly can’t wait to see what happens next between Lana and the Boar brothers… something tells me things are about to get even more intense 😈🔥

Rio and Brox Boarpit are becoming well-known underground kingpins, quickly making a name for themselves. They have built up the Boarpit, which holds The Black Chamber - where lust and sin collide. They use "pets" (women) in this club to 'service' their elite members as a way for the Boar brothers to have leverage over those members through money and blackmail. When their parents died, they were put into foster care, where they met their foster father, Valentino, who created them into the devils they are today. He is anything but caring or nice, and the women he keeps are not treated well. So when Rio went to talk to Valentino one day, he happened upon Lana, who had bruises, bite marks and was shackled on her ankles. Feeling rage over the way their father treats these women, he makes a snap decision and ends up kidnapping her to their penthouse.

The two brothers are instantly attracted to her; she is mysterious, secretive and very seductive. The MMCs are dominant, possessive and obsessed with Lana. All three of them have a kink where they enjoy watching her (the two watch and she participates) with multiple men at the same time, which happens to be what their 'pets' are there for. So they offer a deal where she works for them and can stay, and she accepts.

The book is a fast-burning, erotic and sexual novel and will leave you needing a cold shower! With the brothers gaining ground as a cartel, and everyone after Lana (since she was kidnapped), things are starting to heat up. But with Lana, they are to make deals faster and more efficiently than before. They are surprised by her strength, the knowledge she holds and that she is smart.

The book does end on a cliffhanger, and I was glad that book 2 was already released!

‘Wholly Doley’ really packed an emotional punch for me. Admittedly, I was down with the flu while reading it, so my defences were already lowered—but even so, this story had me completely hooked and desperate to read it in one sitting.

I absolutely loved the plot, the characters, and the intense sexual tension threaded throughout this emotionally raw and dark romance. Lana (the FMC) experiences a series of powerful, confronting, and deeply charged moments that kept me fully immersed from start to finish.

Yes, there are triggers readers should be mindful of, and perhaps due to my health at the time I felt their impact more keenly. That said, I do have the ability to separate reality from fiction, and I appreciated the author’s unapologetic dive into darker themes.

If you enjoy dark romance featuring dominant, older alpha males who unapologetically wield their power—alongside some truly adventurous scenes (yes, I may have reread a few of them once or twice 😉)—this absolutely deserves a place on your new-year reading list.

What truly sealed it for me, though, was Lana herself. I love when a female lead holds an almost mysterious power over the men around her, slowly bringing even the strongest alphas to their knees. Watching them finally melt under her influence was incredibly satisfying.

New kinks unlocked...

Dark, filthy, twisted, unhinged, and unpredictable.

Miami Ruthless book 1

I devoured this book like a woman starved. Wow! I love dark mafia RH romance and this one was HOT. This book is so dark, filthy, and kinky AF! I couldn't get enough of this suspenseful mafia world, its exciting characters, and the delicious dirty af story they were tangled in. That cliffhanger was unexpected. I need book 2 like yesterday.

Brothers Rio and Brox are ruthless kingpins, they run an adult club they intend to use Lana as their pet there. They find Lana and take her for themselves. She's a mystery and has secrets. Their attraction is instant and it's a fast burn.

"Sharing is caring, I always say."

Tropes:
Mafia brothers
Reverse harem
MFM
Captive
Sharing
Insta-lust
Dubcon/Nonvon
Explicit/Graphic

This is not a sweet dark romance. There is no preamble or slow-burning, it's pure unadulterated unapologetically filthy spice.

Not the normal mafia vibe but great nonetheless, so very refreshing. Rio and Brox are new players and looking for the power to be top dogs. Lana is caught up in drugs because of her ex and ends up at the boar pit owned by the Boar brothers.

I liked that Lana was a strong MFC but she gave into the Boarpits work a bit too easily for my liking even though I understood the why the author was trying to get across. The ending seemed a bit rushed but like that the book wasn’t too long.

The MMCs were full of dark which I liked and can’t wait to see where the next book goes. I would like Lana to put up more resistance but am still rooting for a happy ending.

First book that I’ve read by this author and her writing style was easy to read and follow.

[Keke · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dark, Possessive, And Twisted

So I never read a book like this before. Lana was one of a kind to the men. Everything that they didn’t know they needed, and let’s say everyone was into the sharing thing. When they realized she was not just a pet to them, they knew they were never letting her go. Lana seemed like she was living how she always wanted with the guys, not being judged for her inner desires. But she wanted more. She was torn.but the boar brothers knew what they wanted and they were going to reclaim it. She thought she could run but she didn’t know they were only letting her think that. Oh there coming for her weather she like it or not and I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens😆

[Kimberly · Rating 4 out of 5]

The BOARPIT is dark, gritty, and absolutely addictive. Alexandra Iff pulls you straight into a brutal mafia world where danger is constant, desire is twisted, and loyalty can cost you everything. The heroine is thrown into a nightmare of violence and power-and the men who claim her are just as captivating as they are terrifying.
Each love interest is distinct, broken, and magnetic in his own way, and the reverse harem dynamic is beautifully messy: jealousy, obsession, protection, and a connection that grows even through the chaos. The tension is nonstop, the chemistry is scorching, and the plot hooks you from the first chapter and refuses to let go.

The Rule of Two 3.5 stars
Just because your raise monsters, doesn't mean you get to control them. These brothers are certifable, dangerous and rising in power.
The pet they've "rescued" has little options and pick the devil she doesn't know instead of the devil she does know.
Now pets work and are shared in the exclusive club as perks of membership. She is "kept" upstairs with the brothers. Is she special? Or just another body to preform?
I wasn't a fan it was just something that didnt click with me. Wasn't the story I guess as much as the characters. Anyways try it you will either like it from jump or you wont.

[Rogue Kayl · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you like Mafia Romances, Brothers, Harems, POV read…. this is the book to read.

I devoured this book over two days, was hooked from the first chapter.

Excellent plot and fast paced.

The spice was ***chefs kiss*** had me wanting more.

The only criticism i have is i felt the last chapter, the pace slowed obivously it's building for book two, but i would have like to have read a pov from Lana about what took place at the funeral (we only got a run down from the news).

Definitely worth the read though and cant wait to read the next book and see how it progresses.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

★”Pleasing us isn’t a choice, it’s her duty, and she knows it.”★

The Boar brothers save Lana from a dire situation and draw her into their world, which rotates around their successful business empire. The role they fashion for her becomes an outlet for her, but keeping her under their constraints and as theirs develops a yearning for more. This first installment tosses the reader into a a raw and vivid underground world, where darkness has many shades. Looking forward to reading more from this author and this series in the future!

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

*Dark, addictive, and impossible to put down.*

The Boar Pit pulls you straight into the Black Chamber, where Lana ...shines. This is different to anything I've read, because Lana is winning even though she's not. And the Boar brothers? Obsessive, ruthless, and magnetic in ways that made me flip pages faster than I want to admit.

If you love mafia romance with claws, obsession, and heat that scorches the page, The Boarpit will leave you speechless, and in the best way possible.

[Alice Regal · Rating 5 out of 5]

A brutal masterpiece of dark romance.
From the very first page, I was consumed. The men Alexandra Iff builds are perfect for what I need - violent, and devastatingly addictive.
Lana’s descent into the Black Chamber had my heart in my throat. She’s strong but she looks vulnerable, and it feels like she’s trapped but maybe she’s not. Brox and Rio’s obsession is terrifying and intoxicating at the same time.

[Johanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book 1 of the Miami Ruthless series. What a ride, what a read! Watch your triggers.

The plot was intriguing and exciting and deliciously steamy. World building was well developed and solidly drawn. The characters were so very dark and complex and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

The plot was interesting, dark and spicy, and there was some content that could be triggering. I could not connect with the writing style and characters though.

A spicy, sort of mafia, style book. It was ok. There were good elements, the spice was plentiful but felt slightly rushed. The character development only came right at the very end and the mafia side of it was pretty minimal. Overall, it was ok.

This was just not for me. The idea is good but the writing didn't flow properly, feels like there's gaps in what's going on. I couldn't connect with the characters at all.

Definitely a lot of spice. However, I still like a storyline and some plot/background with my smut. This was lacking that. That ending felt unfinished and abrupt.
