Married to the Mob (Wife)

Fur Real Love

by Lance Roddick

Oliver listens to way too many true crime podcasts.

So when he meets Roman—a man with custom suits, mysterious scars, and intense conversations about "territory" and "loyalty"—he knows the score. Roman is definitely in the Mob.

And honestly? Oliver is so ready to be a mob wife.

He’s baking lasagna. He’s establishing alibis. He’s pointedly not asking why Roman comes home at 3:00 AM with shredded clothes and dirt under his fingernails.

Roman is confused.

He’s just a wolf shifter trying to keep his pack in line. He has no idea why his sweet, librarian mate keeps asking if he needs help "bleaching the evidence" or "burying the bones" in the backyard. But he’s not complaining. Oliver’s ride-or-die energy is the hottest thing he’s ever seen.

But when Oliver tries to bring a baseball bat to a "turf war," Roman has to come clean. He’s not a made man; he’s a made wolf. And he’s about to show Oliver that the only thing more dangerous—and delicious—than a criminal kingpin is a primal Alpha in the bedroom.

It was a cute short little story. I normally don’t read stories this short because I always feel like there’s always more to tell. But I’m trying to be more adventurous so I decided to read it and I felt like it was a very pleasant story. I did feel a little short and I felt like it could be more to the story, but it was a nice happy ending. It was an enjoyable read.

Author uses AI for covers. Even if they claim it’s not ai, they use Virtual Voice for their audiobooks- so that should be enough to not read these books.

Written by AI

This book was clearly written by AI. A ton of chapters that were essentially paraphrased versions of each other. Crazy plot holes that only make sense if a computer wrote them. Boo!

[Maureen]

Oliver had totally convinced himself that his new boyfriend was a member of the Mob, he was so very wrong. A very entertaining novella, a little bit mysterious, a little bit sexy, and a lot of loving, a very entertaining read.

DNF 50%
firstly, it's boring. secondly, most likely written by AI.

what was that ridiculous scene where werewolf fucks the human-mc and mc is like "wow, I don't feel pain from penetration without preparation. how?" and werewolf is like "I prepared myself while you were in shower". ???? you are the one doing penetration, bro.
and human accepts this explanation. he thinks " roman fingered himself, that's hot." maybe it's hot, but how will that help to loosen YOUR ass???
did he prepare human's ass through bluetooth connection or what?

and that isn't counting piss poor "connection" between characters. Roman tells one thing but human will create another story in his head and believe in it. human lives in his own delulu.

There was nothing enjoyable about this book.
Half was about Oliver being a moron who didn’t ask questions just assumed and the rest was sex. And that wasn’t even exciting.
I think this would have had more potential as a full book with both POV and more character and story development.

The writing is AI as well as the cover. A lot of character actions/writing don’t quite make sense or line up correctly. Disappointing.

[Jane Andelman]

This is either AI or the most poorly edited book I’ve ever read. No. Just no.

[Jordyn Smith]

Funny silly and spicy quick easy read

[S]

Very simplistic writing. Disappointing.

The idea is good but the fact the story goes from start to finish in ~70 pages, with about 10 heavy sex scenes….you get the idea. Plot is ultra simple is simple and runs from one sex scene to another. Very disappointed. I love LGBTQA+ stories and have no problem with sex or shifter romance. I just need more story than smut. This is 70% smut and 30% plot. If the ratios were reversed I would be ok.

I love the idea of the story but with something more fulfilling than sex scenes with some glue that makes it’s a wild shifter kind of story. it’s like trying to eat nothing but donuts for dinner. once in a while is fine but ALL the time donuts get really boring….and unhealthy.

[spacecamp]

This could have been cute but it just didn’t make complete sense. Specific scenes were replicated word for word, like they copied and pasted but changed a few words here and there? And there were parts that didn’t make sense like the author got confused about who was doing what. It felt like it was churned out without any editing or maybe written by AI? One passage has MMC2 saying something like, “I’m not in the mob!” And then a few paragraphs later MMC1 says, “I thought you were in the mob!” And MMC2 says “You thought I was in the mob???” Like they just had this exchange, why are they repeating it?

[Amandaluvstoread]

Are these getting worse as the series goes on? It's very rare that I don't like a character but Oliver was one of the most annoying characters I've read in a long time. The writing was actually good, but the whole premise of the book and Oliver were just a let down. AND for a short book, did it need that many spicy scenes? I love a good spicy book but it was just the same scene pretty much over and over. Not for me.

[Heather]

This one was just pure wholesome!

From Oliver thinking Roman was a mob boss, to finally figuring out he was dating a werewolf was both comedic and sweet!

I adored this whole series and will come back to it in the future to read again!
10/10 ⭐ & 🌶️

[Thurman]

This is the funniest book I've read all year.
angst 1/5
steam 4/5
story 3/5
POV single Oliver
break up no

[Sharyn Lincoln]

Short and sweet

Well done short story. A couple discrepancies (are Roman’s eyes brown or amber?) but overall a good story. Low angst, good spice.

[Ruin]

More please

Cute but short, would love to see this expanded on ad fleshed out more as it needs more depth and character interaction. 3.5 stars

[R. Andrade]

Another charming short story. Despite the claims that the author used AI, I still found it enjoyable.

[Mimi]

3.5 stars

Overall I personally believe that this series would have been much more cohesive if it had an overall storyline that spanned the entire series.

[bruce shepherd]

great read!

This author writes books that is like a comfortable mug of tea on a cold night. Something to look forward to and enjoy. I can’t wait for the next additioN.

[thecuriousclementine]

I'm disappointed in myself that it took me 52 of the 78 pages of this book to realise it's very clearly AI. What a waste of my time.

[Engrossed Reader]

Read the first two pages of the sample and though why don't I value my time more. Hence I DNF at what I now consider the perfect point.

[Jen389]

I thought this was hilarious

[Erth]

Another good short read in the series.

[Nike Leader]

It was good and funny story.

I like it. It was funny and comfortable. But it could be less sex more werewolf stuffs. It was a short story but good. I enjoyed it.
