Still a Bad Boy #4
Stockholm Syndromance
He doesn’t have to keep me tied up, but I hope he does…
Eliana
My father kept me locked away from the world, my only purpose in life was to stand in the background while he campaigned for President, or to be sold like a slave to cement his old alliances as a Mafia hitman. All I’ve ever known was his contempt and my loneliness.
Then my deepest darkest fantasy kicked my door down and dragged me off into the night.
He's the first person I ever met who wasn't afraid of my father. He's a machine of war, and he's making me so... damn... hot.
Eric
The contract is simple: abduct the daughter of Jace Barlow's nemesis and deliver her safely.
I'm a professional. She's off limits... but this chick is the hottest kind of crazy. I never met a woman who could take everything I had to give and beg for more, and now I'm dangerously close to addicted.
I need to concentrate on keeping us alive before her father's goons, the Feds, the cops or the biker gang catch up with us, but the way she licks my gun has me thinking maybe nothing else matters if I can't have her wrapped around me forever.

Overall, an average read.
Elaina is an innocent who's over sheltered by her ahole father and sold to the mob boss's son. She however has a budding sexuality and via internet discovers she's a masochist.
Enter Eric, the mob boy sent to kidnap and deliver her. As they meet, Sparks fly and the proceeds.
There were too many things happening at once for me. Though I enjoyed the few sex scenes, things were too abrupt including the ending as well as the epilogue.
Safe read
2.75/5

Cuando leí la sinopsis me dio una curiosidad tan grande que me dije “Tengo que leerlo”.
La historia nos adentra en la vida de esta jovencita de 20 años que según sus palabras, no hay vivido. Siempre ha sido reprimida en todo sentido y su único propósito en la vida es ser la pertenencia de alguien y nada más; sin embargo cuando el enigmático Hitman Eric entra escena, ella hará todo lo posible para experimentar todas esas sensaciones y vivencias que les fueron prohibidas desde hace mucho tiempo.
Debo decir que este libro fue una sorpresa muy grata, pensé que lo odiaría como mucho de los libros de este tipo de categoría que suelo leer, pero no, me gustó muchísimo. La forma en que esta escrito es muy ligera y amena. El libro está escrito con la intención de que distraigas del mundo alrededor y que pases un rato agradable, no es una obra de arte por eso lo recomiendo para cuando quieres leer algo sencillo o quieres salir de un bloqueo de lector.
El desarrollo de los personajes me gustó, podemos ver como estos dos personajes tan diferentes se compenetran de una increíble manera, están dañados de maneras diferentes y buscan la cura en ellos mismos. Eso sí, no me gusto que se enamoraran tan rápido, pero se entiende porque el libro tenía muy pocas páginas pero aun así quería más desarrollo de ellos en esa parte.
Las escenas sexuales me traumaron un poco, ya que nunca había leído algo así- llámenme santurrón- pero eso no quiere decir que estuvieran mal, claro que no, están muy bien estructuradas y para nada fuera de lugar. Algo que me gusto es que la historia no se basa solamente en eso, sino que si las quitas, todavía había algo que contar. *BIG THUMBS UP*
Seguiré leyendo los demás libros, espero que me gusten igual que este.

Action packed
Eliana and Eric, I did find it amusing that Eliana didn't put up more of a fight when Eric kidnapped her but this was explained like this was her first experience of life as she'd been a virtual prisoner all her life, the action-packed gunfights were there, some hot bedroom and car antics, an HEA an easy read.

Fun and smutty read. Lots of action. Too fast in some places. These two MCs really clicked emotionally and physically. They both got off on rough sex. It wasn't D/s. Eric didn't always act like a dominant during sex and Eliana definitely wasn't a subordinate. The face fucking, cock choking, and seat belt asphyxiation were hot. Nice but too short happy ending.

Wow. What. A. Ride.
Eliana is essentially taken hostage from her home in the middle of the night, to be used as leverage against her father. Little does the captor know, that her father is an even worse man than he is and has been cold, cruel and vicious to his daughter her whole life. Eliana is accustomed to having no freedom, having grown up trapped at home with her mafia boss dad surrounded with armed guards. Her homeschooled and sheltered life hasn't given her any opportunities to make friends or to date. So...although it's not the best way to get out of the house, when she is kidnapped by Eric and they escape her gilded cage of a home, she does start to get a sense of freedom and is definitely thrilled by the potential adventure with her gorgeous captor.
Eric and Eliana slowly begin to trust each other and the sexual tension between them builds and builds until it explodes. He's a cold blooded killer and she's a sheltered virgin, but somehow they work. And the steamy scenes between these two - yikes! Hang on!
This is a very suspenseful novel, with a dark romance growing in the midst of gang and mafia violence and treachery. There are lots of very graphic and rough sex scenes, graphic violence and some possible triggers for readers. There are also some very funny, tender and swoon worthy moments amidst the gunfire and explosions. Just beware, it may have you calling out Fuzzy Duck during some scenes! ;)
Great story. Read it cover to cover in a day. Couldn't put it down. Hid from the world and had to finish it. Loved it. Love this author's work.
Standalone with a HEA.

Another great read by Ada Scott.
Eliana's father is a Mafia dom and running for president. At 18, she finds herself married to an older man that she finds creepy. Eric is sent to kidnap Eliana but nothing is ever as it seems. From the time Eric takes Eliana from her bedroom, there is suspense. Ada is not to disappoint with her hot, steamy scenes...keep water handy for your kindle!

Had to read straight through in one sitting, couldn't put it down (going to tired on the school run tomorrow morning 😴) what can you say! As always an amazing book with 2 very likeable main characters and some supporting ones too! Got to be at last another book because there are 2 more main characters in the group whose stories haven't been told yet 😊 (wishful thinking here lol) always seem to want just a little bit more at the end but then the characters pop up in the next books 😊

Talk about your action packed dark romance. I loved reading this book. A must read for any and all book lovers everywhere. This book was a thrill ride from the beginning to the very end. The characters in this book are something else. You have the hero who is a virtual bad ass named Eric. Then there is the heroine Eliana who is crazy as hell and will give you the kick ass chick your looking for. Not to mention Jace is the original bad boy.

This was my favorite of the series. There was lots of action and suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat. Things are fast paced and very abrupt, but it worked for me. There were some things I would have liked a little more story to, but overall it worked for me. The sex was rough and raw. Not sure why but I did like Eric he is protective and loyal. Eliana made me laugh. In my opinion both characters are likable. I read this on Kindle Unlimited in the book Innocence for Sale: Bree.

First of all, this is my first book by Ada Scott, and I've enjoyed reading it. This book has suspense, action, hot alpha man and definitely steamy romance in which it makes a good book to read. The main characters were well written. Eliana is submissive and naive character while Eric was tough and manly. The plot was alright, but I need to read the first book to find more about the situation. The only thing that I wish to be more elaborate was the ending. To me, it was kind of short and quick. Overall, this book was very easy to follow, and I'll recommend it.

Wow! What a book! All I can say is wow! I'm wiping the drool off my chin. This book was hot as hell. But it's not just your every day run of the mill wild sex book. It's has the best plot and story behind it. I absolutely loved it! Eliana's dad was such a terrible man. If you like action, not just in a sexual way lol, then you will love this book.

An interesting love story x2
Currently when I wrote this review there was 2.5 books in this book. Both books were very good, but non-traditional love stories. I liked reading both of them and this is a good series.

Eric kidnaps Eliana and she finds it hot that he’s so big and strong and cool. She tries to get him to take advantage of her, but he refuses. And then he doesn’t.
Consensual non-consent action. Nice. Other than that, was okay.

This won't be for everyone. These two like it rough. It was the 4th book in a series and the others were not this level. I do like an alpha.

I absolutely love this series, and in this installment, it gives you an action packed, super steamy, delightfully dirty story of Eliana, daughter of a powerful man with mafia ties, and Eric sent on a "job" to kidnap her. What ensues is crazy, dirty, intense, hot and any other adjectives to describe the mafia romance that this series has embodied. Love every single Still a Bad Boy, and this one was no exception!!! I thank the author for providing a copy to review.

"FUZZY DUCK!" ADA SCOTT DOES IT, AGAIN!!!
I'm not good at "synopsis" type reviews. Though, I can tell you that YOU WILL NO LESS THAN ABSOLUTELY LOVE ADA SCOTT'S "STOCKHOLM SYNDROMANCE: A BAD BOY ROMANCE STILL A BAD BOY #4!"
This much I can tell you about the story though, I won't tell you THE WHY, other than it's for more than just him being a Crooked, Mafioso, S.O.B.:
She's a mafia daughter, targeted for kidnapping, to force her father to pull out of the Presidential Race, confess his crimes and roll-over on the other mafia families' leaders.
No.Such.Luck. Her dear, "Don" of a father, couldn't care less about her. He just uses the kidnapping to further his campaign and gain favor in the polls. He couldn't have planned it better if he'd have done it, himself. He even tells the kidnappers to go ahead and kill her saying "kill her, watch [me] coast into the Oval Office … ."
Yet, that doesn't stop the chase to track both her and her kidnapper down. You don't cross him and get away with still being able to draw breath. He wants all involved - including his own daughter DEAD, DEADER and DEADEST!
It's FAST, FASTER, FASTEST! From word one - oh, my rising blood pressure - it DOES.NOT.SLOW.DOWN!
It's FUNNY, FUNNIER, FUNNIEST! You may not think that "FUZZY DUCK", “CAR TWO - ELEVEN, TURN BACK, …" and "… A POSSIBLE INSTANCE OF A MARRIAGE BETWEEN COUSINS … ?” Out-Of-Context is funny but, I've NEVER been ROLLING-ON-THE-FLOOR, LAUGHING-SO-HARD, in all my readings !
It's HOT, HOTTER, HOTTEST ! Be still my beating heart! From the very first encounter onward. It just goes from STEAMY to STEAMIER to STEAMIEST! Geez, I could only wish!?!
These two characters were meant for each other from the word go! Never read better chemistry in a book before! I mean it! Never!
He could read her, (pun>) like-a-book. From the first moment he looked in her eyes, when he pulled her from her sleep to take her as his hostage, and knew she wasn't afraid. And her, when she returned his look, she knew he would be her salvation.
Such a great, quick read! I say quick because it, literally, sucks you in and pulls you along that the pages are just flying past and before you'd like it to be - it's over - HAPPILY EVER AFTER - but sadly, over! My gods, was he HOT and she was so HILARIOUS, I'm already missing them!
Although I was GIVEN a copy of "STOCKHOLM SYNDROMANCE: A BAD BOY ROMANCE STILL A BAD BOY #4" by the author ADA SCOTT, in exchange for my honest and uncompensated opinion about it, don't let that sway you! Please, believe me - THIS IS A WINNER - - - AT ANY PRICE!

There has been an ongoing Mafia rivalry between Vito and Jace for years. Jace is out for revenge and Eliana, Vito’s daughter, is the target. Eliana has everything she needs to exist, but nothing she needs to live. As far as Vito is concerned, all Eliana’s ideas are delusions and she is pledged to marry Roberto; it is his way of paying off the Capon crime family’s alliance and support in his Presidential bid. Eliana is nothing more than a bargaining chip to solidify her father’s power. Eric breaks into a heavily guarded Mobster’s house to abduct Eliana and then The Smoke Devils President almost derails his contract, but there will be consequences for his betrayal. Eliana is an enigma; the most happy-go-lucky kidnap victim in the world; Eric might think she is his prisoner, but for her this is freedom. As Eliana and Eric become close, it is clear she has been broken and betrayed by everyone she has ever met; this was more than a job now. Eliana wishes she could have known Eric in another life, she knows he is a professional with a task and he will see it through to the end, no matter what, even if he is her one chance to connect with somebody. Eric has to do another “essential” job for Jace, which brings him into contact with his nemesis, Joseph, a psycho and the only one who ever came close to killing him, but this time the tables are turned. When Vito goes public about Eliana’s kidnapping, Eric is implicated and the two are tracked down yet again and held hostage by The Smoke Devils. Vito is the one that is supposed to love Eliana the most, but he has nothing but contempt for her, implying she is more use to his campaign dead. It is not until Eliana and Eric are facing death that they confide their feelings for one another, but Jace finally intervenes and enacts retribution on The Smoke Devils and they are rescued. Now it is finally time to take revenge on Vito and the remaining Mafia families. This was an excellent well-written story that had lots of twists and turns to keep it interesting. The plot was intriguing and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending the book. A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

I don’t want to give to too much away except this is soo deliciously good! Ada Scott knows how to write them bad boys and made them soo good!
Eliana is a mafia daughter, targeted for kidnapping and she to force her father to pull out of the Presidential Race and bunch of other things which seek to humiliate him and weaken him from his seat of power. Well, don’t expect that to happen. Her Daddy “Don” doesn’t care about her and could care less what they do to her , as along as he can use this to make his rating/numbers rise. Ohh Daddy “Don” is a jerk and doesn’t care what the kidnappers do to her , as long as he use this to help his poll numbers to get into the Oval Office. Eliana is nothing more than a bargaining tool to shore up her father’s power. We find Eric breaking into a heavily guarded Mobster’s house to abduct Eliana. Eliana is the happiest kidnap victim you will ever meet. Eric might think its because she is his prisoner but nope, its because she really is free from her father. As Eliana and Eric become close, it is clear she has been broken and betrayed by everyone she has ever met; this was more than a job now. As the story goes forward there is more twists and turns around every corner. You can see Eric and Eliana falling in love but Eric is fighting it. Their connection is electric and hot. The action is fast and hot. This is a page turner and I sure didn’t want to stop for I wanted it to go on and on. There is so much going on that you don’t want to miss a thing. Eliana and Eric are made for each other and the ending is pretty awesome. This is one book you want to buy , no matter what price it is.
My rating: 4.5 stars ****

OK so I may have read this book a couple of days ago but it is still not hard to forget. I wasnt sure I was going to like it. In fact I contemplated putting it down a few times early on but somewhere along the way my hesitance disappeared and I devoured this book like my last meal.
The issues I had early on were with the heroine. Let's just say she's been beyond sheltered her whole life, basically not let to leave the mansion her mafioso father owns. She's not been allowed to lead any type of normal life, she has no friends, knows no one from the outside world and is most certainly 100% a virgin. This is a fact that she wants to change and fast. Her father has a husband picked out for her and that is the last thing she wants. So what's a girl who fantasizes being kidnapped and F**cked to do when she is actually kidnapped by a too hot stranger? Well she's to maul him and almost steal his virtue. Now I can completely understand her desire to lose that piece of her innocence especially if it will save her from her father's plans but she was like totally out of control. Like she swallowed insta-nympho pills and wouldn't stop humping your leg till she was satisfied. It was just a bit much for me, I mean she literally had no feeling of self preservation and maybe that's the point I can't grasp. But as someone who has never been allowed control of her own life, she really tried to take the bull by the balls. I will say once I got over her desperate borderline whore like behavior I was able to appreciate the story more. Maybe other ppl won't find this as distracting and will eat the whole thing up in one sitting, but if you should begin this and feel like me, don't give up, you'll thank me in the end.

Absolutely riveting! 5++stars!
This has got to be the best book of this series hands down. Tension-filled, action-packed, over-the-top sex role play fantasy, thrilling ride. I have to give it more than 5 stars for the cohesive plot, likeable characters who have electrifying sizzle between them, terrifying villains, including Eliana’s dad, disgusting MC president, and mafia thugs. I haven’t come across a story that has equal measure of raw grit, violence, hot sex, humor, and sadness. I love Eliana, she’s one heroine who’s got moxie, she’s funny, has integrity and she refuses to be a victim. I cheered for the fact, that for her, the abduction actually was freedom from the oppressive life she’s lead under the thumb of her mafia father.
And Eric, he’s everything dominant, alpha, and sees in Eliana the woman he’s always wanted. Though his past career being in the SEAL has taken him to a position of hit man for the mob, and now currently working for Jace Barlow, our hero from Still A Bad Boy, he’s more like a James Bond to me. You can’t help but like him for how he treats Eliana, he’s just so swoon-worthy. And the dialogue is irresistible, the banter between the two just had me chuckling and smiling through the whole thing.
Stockholm Syndromance is Ada Scott’s crowning victory. She’s come a long way in her craft and it shows. *throws confetti* Just a warning, it will probably push your limits to how our lovers do rough play, and the violence is up there, too. Just makes it more realistic and not sugar-coated. But it’s worth it. It’s that good. A highly recommended read.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
This has got to be the best book of this series hands down. Tension-filled, action-packed, over-the-top sex role play fantasy, thrilling ride. I have to give it more than 5 stars for the cohesive plot, likeable characters who have electrifying sizzle between them, terrifying villains, including Eliana’s dad, disgusting MC president, and mafia thugs. I haven’t come across a story that has equal measure of raw grit, violence, hot sex, humor, and sadness. I love Eliana, she’s one heroine who’s got moxie, she’s funny, has integrity and she refuses to be a victim. I cheered for the fact, that for her, the abduction actually was freedom from the oppressive life she’s lead under the thumb of her mafia father.
And Eric, he’s everything dominant, alpha, and sees in Eliana the woman he’s always wanted.

Hot hot F-ING HOTTT!!!!
never before have I read ANY book that made me as turned on and tuned in as this one. Seeing as how I read a book or more a day and have for the last 30+ years......well let's just say that's a LOT of books. With the utmost confidence I can say with out a doubt, I have never read anything so sexy in my entire LIFE! Most avid romance readers will recognise my moniker and my blog subscribers will attest that when I like a book or an author I am passionate about letting y'all know they are worthy of a download and when something is meh, just alright, I will let you know that too, as well as my reasoning behind the review. Well I am going to say in a vulgar way my reason behind my awe and amazement at this little combo of books. Kids, earmuffs or uh close your eyes or whatever.
This book and it's bonus story turned me the F on like no erotica or romance ever has.
Ada Scott, I thank you, my husband thanks you, my neighbors hate you, but let's just say I share a similarity in volume upon release much like your female leads do. That said, I only have one question. Where should I send the fruit basket? I feel like I owe you more than just the price of admission.
I did read this book on my free unlimited subscription HOWEVER, I am going back and purchasing it right now because I feel the author deserves to be paid for this wet and wild ride.
Genuinely, thank you Ada Scott. Thank you again and again.
xoxo

Mind-blowing. Yes, from beginning to end.
It's a hitman story, a mafia story, a kidnapping story, all rolled into a rollercoaster of violence, action, lust and quirky twists.
I really loved reading the this novel as it has a crazy pace, a honed killer, a very original female character and lots of thrilling action scenes.
It packs lots of heat too, very well described I must say, though they didn't really match my comfort zones as the bed games displayed here were too forceful for my taste. What I really liked about this kidnapping romance was the fact that the girl tastes freedom for the first time in her life and the man is touched by her courageous, open-minded spirit. I loved the little sardonic lines in the dialogues, the adrenaline-infused action scenes performed by this impressive hitman, and the plot that involved a man taking this woman from a mafia boss' hands into another dangerous boss with revenge in his mind. It was also quite fun to witness how he tried to cope with this twisted little creature that wasn't so innocent to begin with.
There's no respite as the characters fight for their lives at every turn from all kinds of dangers. Chases, bullets, punches, heart-breaking villains, all combine in a fiery whirlwind that left me breathless. I loved that Eliane was so brave yet vulnerable in the face of impending death, and also that amazing finale that reminds me of blockbuster movies!
It's a hot, exhilarating read up till the end.

A bit on the Cinderella side, but with a very dark twist to it, this book is extreme! Eliana has been kept in her fathers' home for all of her life, only to be told that she would be used as a bargaining tool for him to receive more power as a mafia leader, helping him in his quest to run as president. But like most, all good plans usually have a kink in them, only to be thrown out the window to try another. And you never get that high up the mafia ladder without making enemies, lots of them. A twenty year old virgin with a thirst for sadism, Eliana is dreading the day that she will be forced to marry the severly obese son of another mafia leader to strengthen her fathers position, so when, what would appear to be her "knight in shining armour" crashes into her room with the purpose of abducting her as part of a revenge plot, she's thrilled, especially since her abductor is a beautiful rendition of an Adonis God. When Eric took this job on, he never expected to find the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, let alone one that would seem to have the same penchant for "rough" sex. As they encounter more and more hurdles, each one worse than the other, along the way to their drop off destination, they find the love each has been searching for. Only question is..will they survive long enough to enjoy it together? An awesome story.

I was gifted a eBook copy for my honest free opinion!
Stockholm Syndromance is the 4th book in the Still a Bad Boy series by Ada Scott. It seems like each book gets hotter and better.
Eric is a Mafia hitman that normal takes out people not kidnaps them like he is sent to do with Eliana. Eliana is the daughter of another Mafioso that is responsible for two other characters parents murders years ago.
Eliana is a 20 year old virgin that has been sheltered, home schooled, not loved and just a tool for her father to use that secretly wants a man to rescue her before she is forced to marry the sons of another family. She craves the darker side of sex and wants a man that can be that for her.
Eric takes her in the middle of the night and for the next week they are on the run from bikers, her father and other Mafia members and the police. After killing numerous men, another mission and hot hot sex. While it might be a bit much for some people I found the sex hot. It's fiction after all.
I would definitely recommend this book and hope you enjoy just as much!

What a read. Folks this books is not for the faint hearted, if you don't like to read about dark sexual scenes this book may not be for you, I can handle quite a bit, even I caught myself a couple times going dang how is that girl breathing? The crazy thing about this book though is I never thought once about putting the book down, it may have been dark and angsty with this emotional twist, but it was also funny, lovable, romantic even!
The connection between Eric and Eliana was amazing, if I am ever kidnapped I wouldn't mind if it was by someone like Eric, minus the whole seat belt thing....
I loved every crazy plot twist fuzzy ducked moment of this book and honestly was sad when it was over if did have a good HEA!!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book. But I will be buying an E copy to add to my collection

This was an interesting book not like most the MC romance books I normally read. It had violence throughout with some steamy sex thrown in. Eliana is the daughter of mob boss, Vito Mondalo, she has spent most of her life locked away. Her father is using her as a pawn in a plan to marry her off to the Costanzo Capon's youngest son, Roberto when he turns 18. By doing this her father is paying for the Capon Crime Family's alliance and support for his run for president. He has no love for his daughter and rarely sees her. Eric is a ex-navy seal and has been hired to kidnap Eliana and bring her in alive. This story follows the two of them and their journey to escape, bikers, police and the mob. From being locked up and alone Eliana has some interesting fantasies so she is more intrigued than really afraid of Eric. Eric can't believe his luck with how well Eliana cooperates with his plans.

A fast paced, erotic, action filled story. Eliana is unhappy with her life as a virgin mafia princess. She feels like she is in prison and wants her freedom from her unloving controlling father that keeps her guarded to use for his political advancement. She wants to experience hot, demanding sex like she sees on the internet late at night. Eric a contracted hitman kidnaps her for one of her father's enemy. Eliana see this as her last chance to fulfill her sexual fantasies because she probably be dead tomorrow. Her seduction of Eric is epic. This book is the one of the most original, creative novels I have read to date. Ada Scott knows how to draw you in and keep the story exciting till the very end.
I received an advance copy from the author for a fair review.

Ada Scott is one of the Queens of Bad Boy Romance! She did it again with this book!
This book was a wild ride, non stop action and adventure. The heroine, Eliana, what can I say? She is one crazy chick!! She'll have you laughing, shaking your head, and saying "WTF??" LOL. And you have the bad boy hero, Eric, who kidnaps her and is working for Jace, the original bad boy!
It was a fun book, but it definitely had some dark moments to it too. They have to go thru a lot in this book together! And, if you've read the other reviews, you've seen alot of people mentioning "Fuzzy Duck"...all I'm going to say is that you need to read this book to get the reference, and it'll have you laughing and loving this book!!
It was definitely $0.99 well spent, worth every penny!
