Some cages are chosen, and some monsters are worth the chains.
Emmaleen
Twenty-one days until homelessness, nineteen demerits, and one chance at $31,750.
I am laser focused on my goal of getting the hell out of Riverview, PA—and Giovanni Bavga, mob boss, secret poet, in possession of a Lambo and the world’s most amazing green eyes—is my first-class ticket. All I have to do is everything he tells me for the next seven days.
My chains, my choice... until choosing him became the only freedom worth having.
Giovanni
Power isn’t something you take—it something given.
The demerit system was supposed to control Emmaleen Rourke but apparently, Little Miss Take didn’t get the memo. Now I'm the one losing control. Men like me don't fall first. We don't fall at all. In the circles I run in, caring about someone is the most dangerous mistake a man can make.
My game, my rules... until breaking them for her became the only win that mattered.
The Last to Fall series is an intense deep dive into the psyche of possession, obsession, and what one man will do to keep the woman he loves alive. Because some cages are chosen, and some monsters are worth the chains.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars — Completely Obsessed
Some cages are chosen, and some monsters are worth the chains… and WOW, this book proves it.
Her Chains, Her Choice by J.A. Huss absolutely consumed me from start to finish. This isn’t just a romance—it’s dark, addictive, and deeply psychological in a way that keeps you hooked on every page.
Emmaleen is fierce, desperate, and laser-focused on survival, and I loved how determined she was to take control of her situation—even when it meant stepping straight into danger. And Giovanni? The perfect blend of power, danger, and unexpected depth. Mob boss meets secret poet with a possessive edge? Yes please. 🔥
The tension between them is electric, the dynamic is intense, and the push-and-pull of control, choice, and obsession is done so well. You can feel the stakes rising with every chapter, and the emotional depth behind the darkness makes it impossible to look away.
This story walks that razor edge between control and freedom, and somehow makes you root for both at the same time. It’s twisted, it’s emotional, and it’s completely unforgettable.
If you love dark romance with obsession, power dynamics, and characters who blur the line between right and wrong… this one is a MUST READ.
I absolutely loved it and NEED book #2 NOW. 🖤

The FMC, Emmaleen Rourke, at first glance, appears to be a down-on-her-luck desperate woman trying to catch a break. When our MMC, mob boss, Giovanni Bavga, first sees her, he notices something different in the way she carries herself. He offers her a job as his assistant and devises a series of challenges to test her resolve and is impressed with her resourcefulness. The story is told from a dual point of view so it's fun to hear Giovanni's musings about Emmaleen, and it's even more inciteful to hear Emmaleen's thoughts and conclusions about her boss. Giovanni's planned out his challenges to see how Emmaleen reacts, and she continues to turn the tables on him when she doesn't "perform" as he expects.
A series of events occur which "flip the script", giving Emmaleen the fresh start she strove for at the beginning of the book. But surprise, she chooses an alternate course setting us up for the next book!
Jason Clarke voices the growly, self-assured Giovanni, and Samantha Summers does a great soapbox rant when Emmaleen nears the end of her rope! Great casting!
