Teach Me Daddy

arc bdsm complicated-love

TEACH ME DADDY is a steamy contemporary romance about an innocent woman who was dragged by her best friend to explore a BDSM club owned by a billionaire mafia boss, Camillo, who upon seeing Rose for the first time declared her to be The One , and he intended to teach her to be his perfect submissive. However, he had to leave her after that one night, after realizing that his world was too dangerous for a woman like her, not knowing that he also left her a beautiful baby girl. Three years later, he is in her hometown, living a new life in the middle of the woods, and asking for a second chance with her and to be a part of their daughter's life. When his past life came lurking back to threaten his family, he had to end the danger once and for all. Rose feared for his life. But when he returned, it was for good and they were finally one happy family.

This was an engaging good read. The plot was clear, but with the complexities of the story, I think this book should have been lengthier in some aspects, particularly on how he was able to fight his enemies towards the end, as it was the dangers that his mafia enemy had caused why he had to escape the city. It was also this same enemy who threatened his new family. But the suspense aspect had been tempered.

The BDSM level was not that extreme but the romance was very hot. The attraction Camillo and Rose had for each other was off the charts and both were insatiable in their passion.

I admired Rose's character. She was a true submissive but she was also selfless and fiercely protective of her family. I loved Camillo's multi-faceted character. He's a Dom, a mafia boss, a billionaire, a secret daddy, and a mountain man. But his being a billionaire and mafia boss was more emphasized than his mountain man lifestyle. The best part, though, was that Camillo was a great dad. His moments with his daughter were adorably sweet and heart-warming. Thus, overall, he was a fantastic hero.

I have read an advanced copy of this book and this is a fair and honest review and recommendation voluntarily shared.

So this book was a bit fifty shades, but with some twists. You have Camillo who is a mobster who never thought about setteling down. He owns a BDSM club and chooses a different girl every night. Enter Rose, the virgin who is out with some culinary school friends in NYC. Of course he picks her and of course she just gives in... OF COURSE!
There were certain times in the book when I just had to roll my eyes...

"Please. Whoever you are. Have mercy on me."

SERIOUSLY!!!

"My Prince..."

REALLY!!!! OMG

So they have sex and he leaves because the opposing mob family goes after his and they don't see eachother for 3 years. When he comes back he has no idea he has a daughter... Ana. He now lives in the wilderness with his nephew and decides that now would be the best time to check in on Rose via PI. Surprise, you have a baby!!!

description

But trying to get back into Rose's life means that he is bringing the Mob and the danger where his family is.
Of course its a HEA so everything works out in the end but it was a cute read.

Teach Me Daddy is a great second chance love story with twists and secrets. His secret could kill him and the ones he loves while her secret has blue eyes just like his. One night of passion changed their lives forever. This well written story pulled me in and I did nothing but read until the very last page. Rose and Camillo are made for each other and I loved Camillo with his daughter Ana, it was so sweet. Great characters and a great story full of drama, danger, suspense, secrets and passion make this a must read. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

These books are coming to my Kindle at a very fast pace that I can't keep up. It's book after book after book. I'm super excited about it and I think I can read for one week without sleeping but that's not possible. Every book is different and from a different author and let's just say that I can't stop.
Rye Hart has managed to make me anxious and eager to get her books because every single one of them made me feel things and see things differently. Her writting is simple yet super detailed and the hotness level is so so high. Just see for yourself.
Teach Me Daddy is her latest release and tells the stories of Rose and Camilo.
Rose is a sweet girl focused on getting her degree but when her parents got killed in a car accident she needed to abandon her studies and focus on raising her brother. One night her best friend invited her to go to a BDSM club and she couldn't imagine the turn her life was about to get.
Camilo is the owner of that club and when he sees the beautiful Rose walking in he knew just one thing... He wanted her.
After a few hours of amazing sex he needed to get away and leave a note asking her to stay away. Well he's only doing this to protect her and after that he get off radar with his nephew to the mountains.
It's so good to read a book that you think you're gonna get one thing and then you get another. I loved this book and couldn't put it down.
The plot is intense, very well written, super engaging and with a bit of suspense. The interation between the characters is beautiful and sweet as well has raw and wild. Oh boy... The hot scenes are to die for.
I really enjoyed this two and I want to know if Callie will have her own book.
Amazing Rye... Amazing...

He owns the club, he has dark secrets, he makes himself unseen by all unless he wants you to see him. Camillo has also been known only to appear in the club to claim the person he wants to be with. He needs control. When he spots the most gorgeous woman at one of the parties being thrown at the club, he is there to claim her. Little did he know he know at that time what his future held.

She was trying to go through culinary school, but when her parents were killed in a car accident, leaving her to care for her young brother, things just weren't going to go in the direction she wanted. It didn't matter, she loved her brother and there was no choice. Rose never had an easy life but she also didn't despise any of it. She also has a small secret. She is about to find out what turning the world upside down really means.

Camillo spots Rose from the monitors in the office he is sitting in, it is the masquerade party so she is a bit of a mystery. She is stunning from what he can tell and see, and he instantly feels the pull towards her. Even now this feels a bit different then ever before. He is out of his office and in front of her, now they are disappearing from everyone. Rose sees the masked man in front of her, and has no clue about this whole scene, and the whole dominance thing. All she knows is there is no way she can say no to him, she is drawn to him.

Camillo leads her to his private play room, Rose is intrigued and very curious. She is also a very natural submissive to Camillo's dominant. The secret that Rose holds is she is a virgin. Asking Camillo what to do, only makes that draw to her stronger. They play and without thinking Camillo realizes something that happened, it never has happened before and he didn't even think about it until this moment. Rose dozes off and when she wakes up all there is for her is a note. A cryptic note and a warning.

Three years later, after some horrible things have happened to Camillo's family, he is left to care for his nephew permanently. He also is moving away from all the ties and evil that has been around him. Camillo has not been with anyone since Rose, and he has had her investigated. He knows another secret about his woman. After that night three years ago, Rose is working at a local diner, and doing the best she can to just get by. She moved in with her cousin, along with her brother and the surprise Camillo gave her from their one night together. Now he is walking into the diner.

To say that she is not thrilled about him just trying to walk back into her life is a bit of an understatement. She is a bit short and snide with him, he allows this briefly, but he will not allow the secret to stay between them. He asks her to tell him, she is too protective and will not bend to him. Even though that is all she is thinking about, she just can't. He goes into control mode and things are said, secrets are shared and he is meeting his surprise that night. Camillo and Rose talk and share things. His dark secrets are showing up and ready to drive them apart. Camillo is not going to allow anyone to come between him and his family again, any of them.

A "vacation" to Italy for the family ensues, and Camillo is off to fight what is left of the demons haunting him and his family. He makes Rose a promise before leaving. But now he has come back and the sight of him will let on that his promise was unkept. However, he is done, the dark past is gone, he is here hoping to make things right again between Rose and himself, not to mention the family. As things happen little by little healing for all of them is happening. Special words are said, special gifts are given from Camillo to the family. A very special gift from Rose is given to Camillo when he feels there is no hope to win Rose back. The best gift ever given to him, and there is one more sparkling present that is given at this moment, this all leads this entire family on a road trip of a very happy ever after for all.

This story encompasses so many emotions that it's like being on a rollercoaster but not wanting to get off. Rye Hart is one of my favourite authors and the writing in this story illustrates beautifully why she is a top ranking author. Superbly penned and with fantastic detail that make the characters come alive. Camillo is such a difficult man to read at the beginning as he is a part of the mob and most of his Family have been murdered/executed as a result of his family living that lifestyle. But he also is a Dom and three years prior he met a beautiful young woman whom he called his Songbird. She altered his whole vision of his life encouraging him to make drastic changes that would eventually reunite them. Rose, His Songbird, has had a tragic life with his parents dying in a car crash with a drunk and her having to drop out of culinary school to pay for bills and keep her younger brother, Kevin, in school and so that she can provide all she can for him. As for little Anastasia , or Ana for short, she was such a sweetheart and Rose and Camillo's daughter that he did not know about. I thought her cousin Cassie was a lovely young woman as she had Rose's back no matter what. She lived with Rose, Kevin and Ana and babysat the two children when Rose did shifts in the local diner to keep them with the family home and fed. Kevin is a young boy who has found it difficult to move on since his parents died but would do anything for his sister. Meanwhile, life for Camillo has altered as he now is raising his nephew, Junior, who is a sad and lonely little boy. When these six people are brought together, the beginnings of hope for them all emerge and a better life may be possible. But there is evil lurking. The passion between Camillo and Rose is unabated and is ready to explode, as it almost does in the diner when he finds her. I loved the way Camillo was so besotted by Ana but then most men are like that when they meet their child for the first time and he falls in love with Ana instantly. I so loved this story and want, no NEED, to know more about them, how they are getting on in their lives. This is my favourite book by Rye as I think this is quite exceptional. I received an arc of this book and voluntarily leave my honest review of it here.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.
I purchased my own copy of this book which I will be re-reading as it's so good and the bonus story is wonderful too!

Teach Me Daddy, is a fast paced and steamy, BDSM, D/s, older man younger women virgin, organized crime, with mountain man thrown in.

Leaving her brother in the care of her cousin, Rose reluctantly agrees. Her friend stuns her when she takes her to an exclusive party at a BDSM club, where she catches the eye of the mysterious owner.
Camillo has been waiting for his perfect sub and she has finally walked through his door. He sweeps Rose off her feet and they share an incredible few hours. Threats to his family force him to abandon Rose, to keep her safe. The note he leaves behind breaks her heart, but she has no regrets.
Three years later. Camillo and his nephew are living off the grid in the Poconos. Thinking they are safe, he starts to look for his songbird. When he finds her living not to far away, and with a child that can only be his, he is determined to make them a family.
Great story. Loved Rose's cousin Cassie, wish she had found her Prince too.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. I bought a copy in support of the author. Will read this one again.

Unrelased Bonus Christmas Story included.
Christmas with the McCormick brothers.
The blurb. 5 brothers over five days before Christmas, convincing a childhood friend who returns to town after a bad break up to be theirs.
The actual story was different. Set in October. The 3 McCormick brothers set their sites on Hailey, the pretty but quiet and shy girl from high school who is back in town. Hailey is overwhelmed in the attention the 3 brother are giving her, after a few years away. She has just escaped a bad relationship and just wants to get herself back together. When her ex finds her the brother step up to protect her. She falls for all three of them. While it wasn't the story I was expecting, it didn't disappoint. Sweet and steamy.

Rye has generously included several of her other books from her library.
A nice sampling of her work.

Depth, strength, charisma, and growth are the traits that define a great romance character to me. If these traits are missing, it doesn’t matter how well chiseled the hero’s abs are, how strong his jaw-line is, or how robin’s egg blue his eyes look. He’s got to have substance. He’s got to be a protector, a provider, a strong person who can help our heroine through the storms of life and love her like no one else can. He’s also got to have the ability to adapt and grow when facing life’s nastiness. All of these traits define our mysterious hero, Camillo, known only at first as “The Dark Prince” in his BDSM club. This is where he meets Rose: extremely innocent, and just visiting with a friend. But she is intelligent, strong, generous, and family-oriented. She is also a wonderful counterpoint to Camillo.

While this story may start in a NY BDSM club, it takes us on a journey to several different locations and lifestyles. In a sense, I felt this story did the same with my heart. I thought I knew where the story was going, and sort of “set my sights” in that direction. But it abruptly changed on me. So I got my bearings again on what I thought was the new course, only to be surprised again. I saw this story as a beautiful example of how life goes sideways sometimes but that doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be a bad thing. Strong moral character and a kick-A attitude have more to do with how things sort out. That’s something our story’s characters realize that they share.

Rye Hart has proven herself (again) to be a dominant force in this genre. This awesome novel is extremely well-written and brilliantly paced with truly engaging characters that draw you into their world and don’t let go. Camillo and Rose bring an erotic passion to this story that will have the reader unable to breathe in those moments when it appears all is lost. You simply can’t help but want them to stay together: failure is definitely not an option.

This beautiful story does contain mature language and very passionate love scenes as well as light BDSM. Individual readers will need to determine if this amazing novel will be appropriate for them.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. After Rose’s parents died in a car accident she quit culinary school to raise her little brother. She lives with her cousin. A friend of hers from culinary school convinces her to go to New York for a weekend of fun. They take her to a BDSM club. She feels uncomfortable there because she is a virgin. However when the owner of the club claims her as his she feels safe with him.

Camilo is looking for a particular woman to suit his needs. He is tired of the life he has had to live as the leader of a mob family and all the killings that has taken place. He speaks on the phone to his brother and talks about how if something should happen to him that Camilo would be guardian to him. He tells him not to talk like that nothing will happen. While they are on the phone he sees the perfect woman - Rose - walk into his club.

He & Rose just seem to make an instant connection not only that she is a natural submissive but he feels there could be so much more. But because of his past he knows he must let her go. They don’t exchange names.

3 years later Rose is now also raising her daughter. She thinks of her dark prince but know he can’t be found & he has hinted he is dangerous so she just wants to keep her daughter safe.
Camilo ended up having to take care of his nephew because the rival mob family killed his brother & sister in law. So he moved to the mountains near Rose (she hinted where she was from & he hired a private investigator to locate her to be sure she was safe). He also found out that there is a little girl that looks like him too. He goes to see Rose. At first she is scared he is going to take her but all he wants is to be a family. They begin hanging out together but then he notices he is being watched. Can he keep his new family safe & will Rose trust him?

WOW!!! HOT!!! This is another “one-click” wonder. As usual, a “Hart” story comes to life on the pages, keeps you engaged from page one to the end. The characters are well-developed & share a deep love for family.
After the tragic & untimely death of her parents, Rose becomes a mix of “sister & mother” to her brother Kevin. Her dreams of becoming a culinary dynamo are put on hold while as she keeps a happy, healthy home life for herself & Kevin. Crystal, who is Rose’s best bud, decides they both need a brief break from their reality so, off they go for a night of fun. The ladies end up in one of New York’s hottest Gentleman’s Club.
Camillo, the owner of the Club & a member of the mafia, is attracted to Rose as soon as he sees her. He introduces her to a lifestyle she never thought about prior to the one night stand she has with Camillo. Come the next morning, Rose wakes to an empty bed & a note. A few months later, Rose realizes the note isn’t the only thing Camillo leaves.
Three years later they’re reunited & Camillo knows that convincing Rose to let him in again, will not be an easy task.
Will Camillo be able to win back Rose? Do they have more than just chemistry? Can they get them through the challenges that face them? Will Rose & Camillo be able to move forward & build a happy ever after for their family? I certainly recommend that you use your “one-click” & get your own copy of Teach Me Daddy. I would like to congratulate Rye Hart for another notch on my “Top 10” list for best reads of all time. Please continue to amaze us with your wonderful stories.

Rose and Camillo know there is nothing sweeter than mixing a pain and pleasure together to get your well-deserved HEA! Rose has been a consummate care taker of her brother since the untimely death of her parents. She put her culinary dreams on hold and has been doing her best to provide a stable happy home for Kevin. When her best friend browbeats her into a night away to have some fun, she can't refuse. Crystal's thought of fun on the town includes a night at NYCs hottest kink club. For sweet innocent Rose this is a world that she never thought to explore. When the club’s dark prince introduces her to pleasures beyond description and leaves her with a cryptic warning she is left yearning and craving more. Camillo has lived a hard life driven my his father's choices. When he meets an angel in white and tastes her sweetness he cannot stop himself from feasting on her innocence. He knows he cannot drag her into his world full of danger and reluctantly he leaves her only a night, a note, and a small piece of him. Three long and hard years would separate him from is Rose and when he finally is able to reunite with his songbird he finds that in the years they have been apart he left a huge part of himself with Rose - now he will just have to claim it. But getting Rose to let him into her life, arms, and heart isn't going to be easy - especially when a threat from the past threatens to harm everything he holds dear.

Another great read by Rye Hart about a mobster billionaire, Camillo, and the woman he meets one night, Rose, a woman he has been searching for all his life but has to give her up. They spend one incredible night together and then he leaves but three years later he tracks her down and finds out the secret she has hidden from him. She heard the rumours of her dark prince and decided not to track him down so when he finds her in the diner where she works and he confronts her....all bets are off. As they get to know one another his past comes back and he will do everything and anything to protect his new family.
Whew what a read with some suspense, danger, steamy and sensual scenes with light BDSM and a monster with blood on his hands but will give it all up for his songbird. I loved Camillo, he was dark, sexy, sensual, with warmness in his eyes towards Rose and I loved how after he had her he didn’t want another and didn’t have another....sigh swoon. Rose was a strong woman who did everything for her family and little for herself, she was dedicated, selfless, kind and compassionate and was willing to give Camillo a chance even though she knew what he was. I loved how the ending panned out with the promise he couldn’t keep and how Rose still accepted him after everything that happened. A read I couldn’t put down till I was done and until I knew the dark prince and his songbird would get their HEA.

Rose's rich NYC friend invited her to come from her home in the Poconos to the city for the big masquerade party at the BDSM club, took her shopping for her racy outfit and fancy mask, and escorted the virgin around the party. She heard about the Dark Prince that owned the club, a dom who only came out when he had picked someone worthy to be his one night sub. And this night he picked Rose to take to his private dungeon, introduce her to the pleasures of sex, leaving her satiated and exhausted to sleep, with a hand written quote from Yeats. When she awakes, she gets a car to the RR station to get a ticket back to the Pokonos. Three years later, we find Rose still working at the diner, still living with her cousin, still supporting her 13 year old brother, still barely making ends meet, but now with a baby daughter, Ana. The story continues also with the Dark Prince hiding out off the grid in a cabin on the other side of her mountain with his 12 year old nephew, whose parents have been killed by an opposing Mafia family. He now feels safe enough to hire a PI to find the perfect sub whose name he failed to get when he met her 3 years ago and has not been able to forget her. What a challenging story as he goes to meet his baby daughter and is immedately threarened by the killers of his brother. Scary, heart-warming, can-not-put-down book!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Wow! I have to say I think this book is my favorite book by Rye Hart! I have read several of her books. some quick and steamy and others just as steamy with a great couple that are a bit longer. This book is so hot and steamy full of lots of chemistry between Rose and Camillo and a wonderful story line. The characters really pull you in from the very beginning and the emotions all the characters go through is so heartbreaking at times. I loved the supporting characters of Rose's family and that of Camillo's nephew. Ms Hart has really outdone herself this time. I don't want to say too much for fear of spoiling what happens for readers. Obviously from the title you know that their is a baby involved and she is so adorable. The things that both Rose and family have been through as well as what Camillo and his nephew are so emotionally draining at times. I love how once Camillo meets up with Rose again he is so protective of her and her family and that he will do anything to make sure nothing happens to the family he wants to have with her. The way the relationship between he and his daughter is written touched my heart. This is just such a wonderful book and you can not go wrong by choosing to read it.

I voluntarily received an arc of this book for an honest review and what a pleasure it was. This book has a really good storyline mixing BDSM and MOB. What more could you ask for. This book is basically about family loyalty and how you cope after a tragedy. Rose has lost her parents and is looking after her brother after having given up her dream of being a chef. Camilo has had his family murdered over time and is looking after his nephew. When he sees Rose in his club he immediately has to have her and after one hot night together they go their separate ways. The story picks up three years later when he comes to find her. I really enjoyed this book the characters were full of compassion for the past and the story unfolded wonderfully. There were some great scenes in the book showing love for the family and facing the present and future together. The drama had my heart racing thinking everything was going to end badly but it was well played out. I just loved Rose and Camille and the love they shared and Rye had me questioning something reading the book and if you read it you will wonder too. What is missing? Buy the book and you will wonder too until it is finally revealed. A wonderful read. Rye you've done it again.

Teach Me Daddy is a steamy romance and suspense story with a touch of BDSM, a secret baby and tied up with the mob.

There is plenty of action, romance and although the book is steamy, it is also a classy story with great characters you can really get involved with and empathise with throughout the twists and turns.

Rose is an innocent and naive virgin whose life had taken a sharp turn when her parents were killed in a car crash, she has to quit college to be guardian of her 8 year old brother.

On a trip to visit a friend in NY she ends up at mascarade party at a BDSM club, where she meets her Dark Prince, for one night only. Camillo is mobster who never wanted the life but as the son and heir to the mob empire is left holding the fort after his father’s death, and doesn’t know how to get out.

Camillo finally gets the motivation to do something about his situation, and the story continues with Camillo and Rose 3 years later... but so much has changed, can they rekindle their romance, not just their chemistry - well I can’t say as that would be a spoiler alert!!!

This book pulled me in from the start. Rye Hart did an amazing job bringing this story to life. Camillo and Rose has so much chemistry it was undeniable. He owns an adult BDSM club where anything goes. He is also in the mafia. Rose is a young woman raising her younger brother after the death of their parents from a car accident. Camillo has been looking for his "one" for years. After seeing Rose walk through the door of his club, he know he has finally found her. He takes her upstairs for a night of pleasure. He is shocked at her innocence. The next morning she wakes up to find Camillo gone. Crushed, she goes home to the Poconos unaware their night together resulted in a pregnancy. Flash forward three years and Camillo has left the mafia behind and gone totally off the grid. He is raising his nephew after the brutal murders of his brother and sister-in-law by rival mafia family the Delvechios. He has moved to the Poconos with finding and reconnecting with Rose and the daughter he knew nothing about. This book had it all-romance, drama, suspense and finally redemption. Kept me reading all night long. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book.

***I voluntarily read this ARC to give an honest review***An exciting read of gangster rival families and BDSM don and submissive. Rose, after losing both parents in an automobile accident, left culinary school to take care of her younger brother, Kevin. She took a job working in a diner several shifts a day. Her best friend, Crystal, living in New York invites her up from the Poconos, PA, and takes her to a BDSM club where she meets the "dark prince" owner and head of one the Meletti family, Camillo. He never told her his name but unprotected sex with her and left sleeping leaving a poem by Yeats on he pillow.

Camillo likes to be in the background and is looking for the one and only, so he can finally fulfill his desires. He owns a BDSM club that always has its fair share of newcomers and repeat customers. Having a mob family background provides him with more secrecy than others, but he needs it to keep himself and his family safe. And then his little songbird comes into his club and he wants to claim her and keep her.

Rose is caring for her brother ever since her parents were killed in a car accident. So when her friend invites her to NYC to go to a party, she can't refuse. She gets dressed up and has a mask on her face to help hide her identity. But when she is inside the club and sees everyone, she can't look away, until he comes down from his office and pulls her away with him. She is drawn to him and follows him where he leads. And when they share a night full of passion, Rose cannot forget him or that night. Will she ever see him again?

This book has mystery, strong family values, mafia ties, lust and love, and a HEA. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

What can I say... Wow Rye Hart you’ve done it again!

This story has it all...
an innocent virgin, who’s parents died in a car crash leaving her to bring up her younger brother - Rose
A hot mob boss, left the business empire after his fathers death - Camillo

BDSM, suspense, action and romance!

After being talked into a visit to NYC by her adventurous cousin, they end up at a mascarade party held at a BDSM club, where Camillo sees Rose and decides she will be his! After a hot night, Rose wakes up to just a note next to her and an unexpected surprise later on!

The story then picks up 3yrs later, when Camillo finally decides to do something about his life - he didn’t want to be the ‘mob boss’, but after 3yrs can he really expect Rose to still want him? And what about the ‘surprise’ he left her with?!

Can they really get a HEA? You’ll have to read it to find out

Another great read by Rye, highly recommended

Great story from Rose who left culinary school to take care of her 10 years old brother when their parents died. Two years later, her friend from New York invites her for the week-end and they go in a BDSM's party. She’s still a virgin and doesn’t really want to go but finally she has a relation with the owner, Camillo, and she goes back to her life because she feels rejected and she knows he has link with mafia. Then we discovers her three years later with a daughter she had from this night. Camillo sold all his assets and comes to live near her with his nephew (his brother has been killed by another family) and makes researchs to find her. Then he discovers he has a daughter and he wants to be with them, but his enemies find him and his new family.
I liked this story because of the twists, the great characters, the hot sex scenes. Maybe sometimes it’s a little bit predictable.

Wow!! No seriously. WOW. I absolutley loved this book. The anonymity, the danger, the dominance, the secret baby? All combined made for a very powerful and emotional story that wouldn't let me set it down till it was done. Rye Hart pulled out some serious stops for this book and I am truly grateful. I think this is probably the best book of hers I have read to date, and seeing as I haven't read a bad one, that is saying something to me. I loved it and you would be foolish to pass it up. Besides, who doesn't want to read about a hot, sexy and dominate Italian alpha? Great read!! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

This is the story of Camillo and Rose and it will tear at your heart. The death of her parents caused Rose to leave culinary school so she could take care of her 8 year old brother. They live in the family home with her cousin Cassie. For a well deserved break she visited her friend Crystal in NYC and Rose insisted they go to this masquerade party at this club. Rose finds herself attracted to a gorgeous man, Camillo and ends up losing her virginity. He is reluctantly a mobster, forced to run his father's holdings after his death. He never forgot Rose and hired a PI to find her. After assuming care of his orphan nephew he sells all his mob holdings and relocated to the mountains of the Poconos. He sees her one day with a young boy and a little girl that looks like him. No spoiler here but lots of fast paced action and surprises. A great story with complex characters and an enchanting story. I read an advance copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.

I voluntarily received an Advanced Reviewers Copy in exchange of my honest review.
This is the book that I like the least written by Rye Hart. I think I have read all previous books by this author and well this one and I, we don´t click. Perhaps it is the BDSM issue that troubles me as I don´t really like that kind of books as I have strong feelings towards it being in 90% or more always evolving around women being devalued and degraded like the endless spankings - why is it never such that if he spanks her, she spanks him back? But that is probably just me. The story, however, is quite well written like all his / her? other books, and the flow in the story is quite good. The characters are also like always well described and all over I like the book, it just does not come together fully for me to be able to give five stars. Sorry about that as previously he / she ? has always gotten 5* from me.
