Handed over to the most feared mob boss in New York like I was nothing.
Viktor Morelli. Cold, ruthless, and not to be crossed.
He rules this city with fear. Men disappear because of him.
I’ve never even been kissed, and now I belong to the most dangerous man alive.
He could kill me. He could break me. He could do anything he wants to me—and the worst part? My body seems to love it. Knowing he owns me makes my heart race and my thighs ache.
Right now, I’m collateral on my father’s debt. But if Viktor wants more, I won’t be able to stop him. And I’m not sure I’d even want to…
A page-turning, over-the-top, dark instalove mafia romance featuring a hot, alpha, terrifyingly handsome mob boss and an innocent virgin who changes his life. No cliffhangers, no cheating, just pure obsession and a HEA that will make your heart warm ;)
It is a known fact that sometimes a man has to find his heart in order to become the best version of himself. Viktor is no exception and when he least expected it Bella swoops in. She is given to him instead of her father paying a debt and since Viktor is a collector her father thinks Bella is the best temporary solution. However, even bad guys have a code to live by and that’s no women or children in Vik’s world. He plans to end her father. That’s until he locks eyes with her and his life does a 360 in the blink of an eye. It’s the first time he sees a future with someone and his world which had no color comes to life. This book made me full on swoon and I even cried a little bit. Just knowing that there is someone for everyone helped get me through this day. Also I haven’t done this is a while but the line that slayed me !!
“Thank you for…for tonight. For making me feel like…” “Like what?” I ask. “Like I’m worth all this.” She takes a timid breath. “Like I’m not just collateral anymore.” “You never were, my sweetheart,” I tell her, kissing her. “You were always mine.”
Isabella is brought to Viktor as collateral since her father can't pay his debt to the mob boss. Viktor is furious because he doesn't do deals like that, but everything changes when he sees Isabella for the first time. He falls instantly and hard , and now Isabella is in his house. Now he can make Isabella fall for him and can keep her safe from his world.
Instalove, age gap, forced proximity, mafia romance, romantic, steamy and safe with a sweet HEA and no OP drama 😍😍😍😍😍
I am voluntarily reviewing a free copy of this book.
Bella knew exactly who and what her father was, a man who was addicted to gambling and owed the most notorious mob boss in New York a lot of money and his way of paying him was her, she was being used as collateral. Something changed within her the moment that she set eyes on the man known as The Ice Man, there was no ice only fire in his eyes when they look at her and she was already burning for him. Bella knows that this is a man known for his detachment but that is far from what she feels from him, is she really falling for a man that she knows can kill with a flick of his hand, could he and has he changed for her or will he show her the reason for his reputation.
Viktor grew up on the streets and learned early the only way to survive was to rule the streets and become detached from feelings, he embraced the name he earned as the Ice Man and now has New York in the palm of his hand. His only rule is no innocents, so when Seth Rossi can’t pay his interest and arrives at his office with his daughter as collateral, he is ready to make him pay the ultimate price, which is until he sees Bella, his heart thaws before he realizes it. He is ready for a future with Bella, but can he really turn his back on the empire he has built and the man that he has always been for love?
I simply love this author she gives me hard men that are super alpha, possessive and have been downright evil in their life and gives them innocent women that change everything. Viktor found all he had ever needed in Bella, and she found love and protection when she should have felt fear. Highly recommended read. 5* read for me.
1,8 No sé por qué me pongo tan quisquillosa con estas historias, pero entro con la idea de la sinopsis y no sé que pasa en medio.
La historia no fue una genialidad, la verdad que me dio muy igual. Si me gustaron algunas frases y momentos, pero no puedo destacar nada porque hubieron ciertas cosas que me opacaron toda idea. Bella empieza una relación con este tipo que sabe que es un mafioso despiadado, pero negara a que sea un mafioso despiadado. Traté de fingir que se puede cambiar a un hombre, te juro que lo intenté, pero no me lo hacían fácil estos dos. Él diciendo que ella es una debilidad, pero ANTES dijo que era su fortaleza ¿? quien te entiende papito.
Hay una parte en particular que me fastidió muchisimooo, cuando dice que ella parece hecha con inteligencia artificial ¿? wtf soy una persona particular porque odio la ia, me rompe las pelotas todo lo creado con la ia y a sabiendas de lo que este avance puede provocar me molesta cada vez más, ese discurso nos hace creer que lo que la ia hace esta bien, es lindo y hermoso, natural sin cuestionar. No. No es así. Esta muy alejado de serlo. En alguno aspecto resuelve, no lo vamos a negar, pero cuando resuelva la máquina el cerebro deja de saber resolver ¿se entiende? Me hizo enojar bastante, f.
My experience with Owned by the Mob Boss by Jenna Rose was quite bland. I kept waiting for the chaos, the blood, the violence, and the drama that usually come with this kind of story, but they never showed up. The plot fails to truly engage or deliver anything compelling. It feels more like when a friend says, “I met someone, he changed my life, and I married him,” without any real depth or conflict. Overall, it lacked intensity and proper development.
Mi experiencia con Owned by the Mob Boss de Jenna Rose fue bastante desabrida. Me quedé esperando el caos, la sangre, la violencia y el drama que normalmente acompañan este tipo de historias, pero nunca llegaron. La trama no logra ofrecer momentos realmente interesantes. Se siente más como cuando una amiga te dice: “conocí a alguien, me cambió la vida y me casé con él”, sin profundizar en los conflictos o emociones. En resumen, le faltó intensidad y desarrollo.
TROPES: -mafia -age gap -she's sold to him as a debt repayment -instalove
Bella is sold to mob boss Viktor by her father, who couldn't pay him what he owed. Viktor doesn't want to take her at first, it's one of his rules- no women- but once he saw her he couldn't say no. He tries to stay away, but he's entranced by her... and she's intrigued by him. Things get complicated... and hot.
Woooo this was one SPICY read. It melted my kindle! It was beyond hot, and Viktor was OBSESSED. I really enjoyed it. Five stars!
SAFETY: Virgin/celibate/manwhore?: virgin heroine, celibate hero OM/OW drama?: none Cheating/sharing? none Triggers: violence, a man tries to attack the heroine but the hero saves her HEA?: yes!
*H-38, been awhile since he's been with a woman/ h-18, virgin *No OW/OM drama *Safe Read *HEA
Viktor comes alive with one look at Isabella. I liked how she didn't put up any walls or fight him when he expressed his interest as long term and not just being collateral. Isabella thawed Viktor's heart and it made him be a better person. I would have liked the epilogue to have more details and an explanation on how he no longer rules NY. Is he still involved or just take a back seat in the day to day stuff? Viktor was dominant and OTT and I was here for it!!!.

This was a fast and filthy read in the best possible way. Viktor is the definition of dangerous and dominant, but once he sets his sights on her, it’s game over. Their chemistry is instant, intense, and totally over the top, which is exactly what I expect from a Jenna Rose novella.
If you love mafia romance with a powerful alpha, a virginal heroine, and a steamy plot that wastes no time getting to the good stuff, this one is a must-read. Quick, spicy, and completely addictive from start to finish.

If you are looking for a book that will melt your heart this is it. Vik has hardened his heart. It didn’t have a place in his world. Then he’s given Bella. Watching this vicious hardened man who’s always in control lose control and find his other half will bring you to tears. This is a great read. Don’t miss out on this one.

At first, I wasn't a fan of the FMC, but as I kept reading, my perspective changed. It turns out, the FMC is actually the best thing that has happened to our MMC. He truly turned over a new leaf for her, and now it seems like the Ice Man is no longer the same. In fact, he's quite the opposite now, showing how much he's obsessed with her.

Bella is given to Viktor instead of her father paying a debt and since Viktor is a collector her father thinks Bella is the best temporary solution. He definitely was going to say NO but one look at Bella and He sees a future with someone and his world which had no color comes to life. A great story about love in a crazy world of violence and two people who found it with each other,.

This is an age gap, instalove mafia romance between Bella and Viktor. These flawed but likeable souls and the unique plot make for an enjoyable read. What starts out as a debt repayment ploy turns into something more. It is a love story with drama and steam, sexual tension and chemistry, twists and turns. Entertaining short read.

Love a possessive Hero (Viktor aka "Ice Man") who is OBSESSED with his woman! Isabella is an inexperienced, young woman who is given to Viktor as collateral for her father's debt. “Almost on its own, my hand reaches slowly between my legs, middle finger outstretched. I never touch myself, but Viktor has me feeling very curious…”
The characters were very well written and complex and complicated and perfect together. Plot was intriguing, exciting and deliciously steamy. World building was excellent and impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

Effectively given to the mafia boss Viktor to cover a debt, Isabella finds herself in a different world. A steamy and sexy little read with an OMYW dynamic, with a man absolutely possessed and obsessed with the innocent younger woman.

Let us begin with what in the entire universe f**c! Now that I have that out of the way. I read the short story to it's entirety. It leaves me wondering how old was the author?Did she have friends or anyone for that matter to honestly give their opinion about it. If you're looking to past your time. Be warned everything it's not what it seems.
FMC dad leaves her as collateral to the mob boss he is indebted to. MMC makes a point that he doesn’t deal in girls but WOW he loves the look of this one and she’s not like other girls and special! So there they are both in instalove and that’s about it. Gave me the ick with some of the dialogue/ thoughts he was having about her.
—
“Did I—say something wrong?” she asks. “No, sweetheart,” I soothe her, stroking back a wisp of her hair. “What you said was…perfect.” “Don’t guys want a girl with experience?” I manage to stop myself from laughing. My balls are tight, filled with cum that’s just begging for her pussy. Her virgin pussy… “Guys want their woman to be all theirs, princess.” It’s getting near impossible now not to take her. I don’t know how I haven’t forced my way inside her yet.
I tried to read this, but good grief. This was like reading the creative writing assignment of a twelve year old girl.
This fearsome, coldhearted Mob boss supposedly goes mushy for some naive childlike eighteen year old girl. To the point where he completely changes who he is.
I will not be reading any more books by this author.
Sexy Historia con gran moraleja. La conversión mal al bien , no siempre debe ser ligado a la creencia religiosa , si no al amor y respeto. En este caso Un jefe mafioso uso su libre albedrío para amar y mejorar en varios aspectos. Convertir el verdadero éxito en la vida es una familia, en este caso al casarse y tener hijos.

Owned by the Boss by Jenna Rose is a quick, addictive mafia romance with an intriguing age gap twist. Victor and Isabella’s chemistry crackles, the plot keeps you hooked, and the spicy scenes are scorching. A perfect fast read for romance lovers who want heat and drama in one sitting.
This was a quick and steamy romance between a mob boss and his queen. I liked Viktor and Isabella together. They had a nice, instant connection that draws you into their story. There's steam and a little bit of drama. It's a good story if you need a quick romance story!
The author has given us an older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Viktor and Bella. The darker story keeps us turning the pages with forbidden desires, connection and steam.

Spicy, short read. Safe, h is a V, H has been celibate a long time. Age gap, h is 18, H is 28. H is a mob boss and the h father exchanged the h in for his dept, and the H falls immediately. Very insta love.
"He is a super scary murderous mob boss that will probably kill me!" Exactly 42 seconds after being a couple: "I can't believe he wants to kill someone - I can't love someone like that!" YIKES.
