Roberto Rossi came from a long line of made men. When his father is assassinated, he becomes a mafia boss desperate to change his family’s legacy. While the Rossi name has always instilled fear and respect due to their dirty dealings, he’s moving mountains to turn the family legit. Harper Wilkins is an aspiring singer from a small town in Georgia. When she finds her way to New York, she realizes that the artist’s struggle is real. She finds a ‘guardian angel’ named Landon, who helps her to land gigs and get her name out there. But something about Landon isn’t quite so ‘heaven sent’. The truth is in the details so read the story to learn more!

His Property was a grittier read than what I’ve come to expect from R.R. Banks, but it was still sexy as heck, full of romance, drama and suspense.

Release: Feb. 17, 2018 | Genre: Mafia Romance | POV: Multiple - 1st person | Heat: 4 out of 5 | Standalone

3.5 - 4 Stars

My first read by this author and it was good! Why not great, well for me, it was way too wordy for me with background info. I like to get to know my characters but I felt like more than half of the story was just ramblings of background facts and I found myself anxious for more couple time!!!!

The sex was good but for a "virgin" she said and did some things that just didn't correlate with being "innocent" if that makes sense. I guess for me she went from 0 to 100 in a matter of milliseconds, lol!!!!!

All in all for a fist read by this author, it was good. I will definitely check out more books in the future. I loved that it was a very quick read and a good afternoon "delight":)

Harper acaba de ser impulsada en su carrera de cantante, y de repente se le ofrece una nueva oportunidad: ir a los ángeles y probar suerte con una discográfica. Pero pronto se dará cuenta de que hay caras bonitas que esconden grandes mentiras y caras feroces que esconden cosas maravillosas.

En serio, empecé este libro super ilusionada porque me estaba enganchado. La historia era buena pero en el momento en el que conocí a Harper fue un: NO POR FAVOR QUE ESTO SEA UNA BROMA. No puedo con estas protagonistas que no sabes de qué palo van: que si soy una virgen pura que me sonrojo cuando me dicen que estoy guapa pero luego me pavoneo por la casa medio en pelotas a ver si el tío me engancha y me empotra contra la primera superficie plana 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 no lo aguanto, aclarate con tu personalidad. El caso es que pensé que Harper cambiaría cuando conociese a Rob, pero no, osea más de lo mismo pero con distinto tipo. No puedo con ella. Fue lo peor del libro y eso hizo que no me gustase tanto la historia como esperaba, pero en cuanto a Rob, solo puedo decir awwwwwww 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ le amo. Es un gruñoncete amoroso, con su adoración por los perros y su alma pura y noble que trata a todos por igual. En serio que no podía haber un personaje mejor.

En resumen, podéis leeros este libro si queréis conocer a Rob, un hombre que lucha por cortar un destino de mierda y convertirlo en algo mejor, pero sed conscientes de que os vais a encontrar a una tontita llamada Harper que os va a hacer poner los ojos en blanco.
Jo, que racha de libros más sosa llevo, si es que no he encontrado aún uno que me haga ponerle las 5 estrellas (a parte del de Malcolm obviamente)
P.D: acabo de modificar la reseña porque me he dado cuenta de que escribí mal el nombre de la protagonista...jajaja si que me caía mal, que ni de su nombre me acuerdo

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. This a great story with a complex group of characters and story. The story is written in the different perspectives. Roberto Rossi, a Mafia boss who wants to reform his family's name and make them legitimate. Harper Wilkins, a aspiring singer who lives in New York and is trying to make something if herself with Landon Hall. Landon is a small time hustler who gets in deep with the Rossi family and is trying to find a way out of the debt he owes. Their lives all have collided and it might not be for the better. Landon makes a deal with Marco Rossi to sell Harper to Max Irving, a jerk on the sex business, in order to pay off his debt, his only requirement, he can't see her again and never come back to NYC. But first he had to deliver her to Max in LA. Harper is not sure what to do when Landon suggests moving to LA after getting her set up for a real gig. But he says he's doing it to help her. Harper is a virgin and innocent. Rob is trying to make a go at the straight and narrow, but can't look weak due to his family's past. Going out one night he sees Max, Landon and Harper. Things get a little crazy, and Rob decides Harper is in danger with Landon. So he takes get with him. At first Harper is ticked. But she sees a side of Rob that she likes. You have to read the story for yourself so you can fully appreciate the way it flows. Find out if the past will bite Rob in the butt. Will Harper find her calling? And will Landon screw everything up?

I tried, I really did. I am on the hunt for a good mafia book and I really wanted this to be it. But it wasn't meant to be. I just couldn't get into the story or the characters. It just never grew into a fascinating story for me. Also, it ends at 24%. Not cool author, not cool.

[Lauren · Rating 2 out of 5]

High ratings for this?????

Ummm. This one didn't do it for me, definitely not a mob book in any way, I've read books with just rich billionaires toughing then this guy. Shy, blushing? Really? I just rolled my eyes and skipped pages, this book just didn't make sense what do ever. So this guy Landon meets our girl, he knows she's a rising star and does everything in his power to get her there we read. And our girl has the total hots for him, but no matter what she does she can't get him to sleep with her, case in point he even says he doesn't want to mix business with pleasure like that. But some how along the way we learn he owes a debt and decides to sell the poor girl, I was like " ok" then he's like a crazy drug addict that still wants her back, because he loves her? Where the he'll did that come from? Ok and mister mob " who saves our girl" is so soft I was disgusted. I mean, he couldn't even get into a high end restaurant, how do you try and push a character as a boss of a entire mob family so sad pathetic and weak. I mean he is just the saddest bad boy in existence!!!! Please r.r banks, never again try writing a bad boy novel, it's not you're thing. His property makes you think he's a hot blooded alpha, well that can't be further then the truth. More like identity crises with a splash of most ridiculous read ever.

[Hart's Reader Group · Rating 2 out of 5]

I DNFed this book at 35% and by then, I'd skimmed most of it. Who f**king CARES about that asshole Landon's POV. He's a cock sucking asshole, selling the heroine into sex trafficking. Also, the hero was made out to be this brutal asshole billionaire...well, he is basically a human Great Dane, large but mostly harmless. Yeah, there was that part in the beginning when he went to collect on what he was owed, but that man seemed like a totally different character. I wanted him back--even though I had no clue what the dude looked like. When we're in Harper's POV, she never once describes the guy, even to say he's good looking. Also, the heroine is such a freaking idiot. I just can't handle women that naive--they shouldn't be allowed out on their own. She walked right into her own trouble with her big, hopeful, sparkly eyes, filled with dreams and trust...what a dumb-dumb. I just couldn't with this book.

[Suzi (Obsessive Reading Disorder) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Seemed to be a lot of hype over this one. It had promise. The writing was just a bit choppy for me. It became distracting from the story.

[Felicia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story ended up being more cute and lovey dovey than dark like the title and blurb made it seem. Yes, the hero was part of the mafia, but he was also working to go legit. It really wasn't all that mafia-ey at all. Which I guess is fine with me. I ended up liking the love story between Harper and Rob.

It was nice to read about a sweet innocent girl like Harper. And I'm happy that Rob saved her from being turned into what was planned for her before she was able to go down that path. He saved her and she saved him and they were super cute together. It was very lust at first sight for them. And they had that stupid iconic "electric feeling" at first touch bullshit. But whatevs. They were cute.

I liked that there was a little more to the story with Landon's POV chapters. He was an interesting character. -.-

And that epilogue. How adorable! And super smutty! YAS! :D

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was ok.

My first book by this author. I’ve read a few mafia books and this one wasn’t quite like the others. Sadly, I guess I’m being stereotypical in my expectations of a mob boss. Rob is the head of a mafia family but he’s kind of soft throughout the book. I understand he’s trying to turn the family away from violence and crime but I just thought he’d be a little more hardened and respected. The description of the book led me to believe he would be. “Brutal Billionaire. Vengeful Kingpin.” That had to have been him prior to this book. The description said “Men bow down to me.” They did not. Landon disrespected him and talked crazy to him throughout the entire book and got away with it. When his table was given away at a restaurant HE BEGGED THEM to help him. It also said “When I’m through with them, they’ll wish they were dead.” Uh, he punched like two people in the book. There were no other instances where anyone feared him.
Now after reading the description and then reading the book it was just kind of a let down. I cringed every time I read the word rod and spunk. The word rod was used a lot. Not my idea of great descriptive words.
Anyway, so outside of all that, once I realized who Rob was going to be in the book, I liked him. He was a nice, caring, great guy trying to do the right things. He helped and saved Harper. Harper was a sweet girl.

[Lydia'sBookniverse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es un buen libro, pero me ha faltado algo. Me explico.

Es un libro para leer sin muchas pretensiones, una historia estilo Wattpad para entretener.
Si vas buscando el mejor libro de tu vida, no es éste. Pero si vas buscando una historia ligera, intensa y con romance y acción, esto es para ti.

Los puntos fuertes del libro son:
1. Rob, el prota. De los mejores protas masculinos que he visto en este tipo de historias. Respetuoso, dulce, atento, inteligente, divertido y leal. Un cielo, no sólo con ella, sino con la gente que le importa y con quienes trabajan para él.
2. Cordy y Miguel. Desde luego que son imprescindibles.
Cordy es la amiga que te dice todas tus mierdas a la cara porque te quiere y quiere que te las quites de encima y seas feliz. Pero también es la amiga que habla maravillas de ti, te sobreprotege y no permite que nadie te haga daño.
Miguel es el amigo con el que puedes contar para todo. Ese que quizás no habla muchísimo, pero cuyos gestos son más reveladores que las palabras.
3. La historia del mafioso que quiere dejar de serlo y todos los problemas que tiene en ese mundillo al tratar de hacer las cosas bien. Me ha parecido original, no había leído algo así nunca, aunque en ocasiones el pensamiento de Rob es algo cursi e idealista para ser de una familia de jefes de la Mafia.

Harper, la prota, no es ni un punto fuerte ni uno flojo. Puedes empatizar con ella y no es de las protas más tontas que me he encontrado. Pero no sé, en una historia de mafiosos me habría gustado una prota menos pusilánime. Puede que ésta sea una de las cosas que me han faltado.

Los puntos flojos son:
1. Lo que más me ha molestado es cómo se ha resuelto el problema principal, que está casi todo el libro desarrollándose. Me ha parecido muy rápido y sencillo. Demasiado simple para lo que estaba ocurriendo. En apenas 14 páginas en el penúltimo capítulo ha ocurrido todo. No me ha gustado la forma de resolverlo.
2. Los personajes secundarios son muy planos.
A pesar de haber amado a Cordy y Miguel, apenas hemos sabido nada de ellos. Toda su vida se ha tocado por encima y me habría gustado que hubiesen tenido más profundidad.
Las chicas que trabajan para Rob: Carla y la personal shopper, que no recuerdo su nombre. Carla parece que va a ser importante y aparece nada y menos. La otra chica parece que va a ser amiga de Harper y la vemos sólo en el capítulo en que van a comprar. Nunca más supimos de ninguna.
Con los guardaespaldas de ambos lados y con Max, más de lo mismo. Aparecen y desaparecen de la historia cuando es necesario y ya.
3. Marco y sus planes. Esto debería haberse desarrollado desde el principio y no en el último cuarto del libro. Queda forzado y parece la salida fácil para cerrar la historia.

Estas cosas han hecho que la historia no sea tan buena como podría haber sido. Por eso le quito dos estrellas.

Sin embargo, como ya he dicho, es un libro que se puede disfrutar. Yo lo he disfrutado mucho y me ha durado nada porque estaba deseando seguir. Las cosillas de las que me quejo habrían hecho que el libro fuera perfecto. Pero es bueno si te gustan las historias estilo Wattpad y vas sin pretensiones.

"This turn of R.R. Banks writing style is nothing but exceptional! There are more than one layers of this author's talent and I can't wait to unwrap each one of them."

To be or not to be a fan of R.R. Banks? Well, I suggest to definitely be! He is unmistakably one of these authors who has a lot more to give to the reader community. His latest works prove it! I feel lucky so far that I had the chance to be on his advanced reader team and I wish to stay there as long as...forever.

With His Property R.R. Banks delivers his most addictive suspense to date. It's a story with three POVs, a nail-biting plot and a romantic affair to swoon over.

So, let's make a small sum about what is going on in the story. I promise you not to reveal much. Being set between LA and New York, the narrative opens with a in dept money collecting scene. Roberto Rossi is the son of a mafia Lord who had been murdered along with his wife and daughter. Rob is the one, left behind, who collects his family unpaid depts yet he knows what's better. His plan to put his family name back on the legal path of the law is now on track. He is making great progress yet his family past is always there hiding into the shadows ready to put him down. When his life collided with Harper's, his future seemed bright and at the same time unpredictable and deadly.

The future that's in front of her wouldn't be there if it wasn't for her manager to make it happen. Leaving behind her home town to follow her dream in New York wasn't easy at first for Harper. When Landon had first heard her voice he promised her to help her dream come true. And now her dream is ready to be skyrocketed because he scheduled an appointment with a music producer in LA for her. What's waiting her in LA, tho, is nothing Harper ever imagined of. As for Landon. The less I say about him the better! I'm going to keep him a mystery for you because this way, as the title says, you will be intrigued to know who's property Harper is going to be in the end...

I still can't believe this turn on R.R. Banks style!! I'm so thrilled and excited and very happy about this turn of his! His Property is nothing close to anything he ever written so far; The adrenaline rush I felt so strongly in my guts from the action-packed scenes, the swooning feeling over the most incredible male character the author has created (Rob), the constant sexual teasing in the beginning or the steamy hot sex scenes afterwords...All the above and beyond are the reasons this book is being so amazing for me. R.R. Banks consistently delivers a great kind of stories, the kind that is impossible to put down, that leaves you with a heart full of joy and a sex hangover at the same time....Oh!!! I love this man!!!

I hope I intrigued your imagination a little and make you grab the book, finding out what's really happening because there is no way to tell you myself.

Until next time, enjoy your free time reading great books with the most unforgettable stories.

Oh my stars, I need more! This was an unexpectedly evocative story that drew me in from the word go and didnt let me loose until the end. I read it as fast as I could! The plot was inspired and the in-depth story masterfully woven, the characters were bold and memorable, and the emotions, both the good and the bad, were deep and passionate. I really loved this book. So much.

Okay, there probably will be spoilers from here on out. Just a heads up.

This isnt a typical bad-guy mafia story at all, but rather its a story with an uneasy mafia head turning his family onto the straight and narrow. The male protagonist, despite the title, does not treat the female protagonist as property. At all. Not even once. I feel this distinction is necessary for some of us, especially since I would have liked to know beforehand. I judged a book by its trope and had my assumptions handed back to me. If mafia books arent your thing, rest assured, this isnt your mama's Don.

Rob Rossi, head of the Rossi family, was a multi-dimensional character with great self-awareness and unplumbed depths. He was a character who tried his hardest and was worth our admiration as readers.

Harper Wilkins, the young and trusting musical genius, was plucky, bold, smart, mostly, and her lightness was the perfect counter balance to Rob's near saturnine moments.

The supporting characters were fleshed out, distinctive, they were equally as important as the protagonists and they were treated as such.

I know I gave some spoilers, but I dont want to give away the whole plot, so you will just have to trust me when I say this book is worth reading. These characters are worth getting to know. This story rocked my expectations and gave more than I anticipated. Read it; you wont be disappointed. I would give this passionate tale a million stars if I could!

Rob Rossi is unlike any other Mafia leader he really wants to go legit. When he learns of what is to happen to Harper he intervenes to help her. Landon is the guy that should've been protecting her but to repay a debt he was going to sell her into porn. After Rob took Harper from him Landon vowed to make him pay. Harper thought she was meeting a record producer she was so naïve that she didn't know what just about happened until Rob finally tells her. Rob takes Harper into his home at first she is scared and thinks him the bad guy but after talking to the people working for him she learns that he is a great guy. That's when things change between them and Harper sees him as a man. Rob knows that he wants Harper but he doesn't want secrets between them that's why he tells her the truth about what Landon tried to do. She only asks one thing of Rob when it becomes evident that Landon is an issue she doesn't want Rob to kill him. Will Rob be able to keep is promise to Harper? With so many enemies can Harper and Rob have a relationship?

This was a great story about to opposites finding love. This book will keep your attention from the first page and leave you wanting more on the last page. Once I started this I couldn't out it down until I was at the end. If you haven't read anything by this author then this would be a great book to start with.

[Hafsa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked the story but I'm not a mafia romance fan so to me it wasn't awesome but just based on my preferences, I shouldn't sully R.R Banks' hard work. It was a very good mafia romance and the story was well-developed and well-written. We had three character's point of view (Rob, Harper and Landon) and they were apt.

There may be spoilers ahead.

Rob Rossi was a very unique Mafia head in comparison to usually mob. It was refreshing to read of such a character as the head of the mafia.

I found Harper's naivety to be cute but also believable for someone from a small town. I liked her drive for making her dreams comes true no matter the hardships she may have to deal with.

Landon is a typical selfish hustler and I was glad to see the direction the story took.

I liked the supporting characters like Miguel and the way Rob treated him and vice versa. Shows what a real bond should be like.

Overall, a nice story and I'm sure it will be loved by people who like Mafia romance.

In this well written mafia romance we have the head of the Rossi crime family, Roberto (aka Rob). Rob is taking his family in a new direction, one that will have them making lots of money legitimately. Harper is a 20 year old singer/songwriter and her manager, Landon is telling her that if they go to Hollywood she stands a better chance of making it big. Harper doesn't realize that Landon has ulterior motives for this move and definitely doesn't have her best interest at heart. When Rob learns the sinister things that Landon had planned for her he is livid and makes a point to thwart those plans. Grab this book today to find out what happens when Rob takes the innocent Harper under his wing to keep her safe. Find out what lengths Landon will go to to get her back. This is an interesting read, it has a lot to offer and the story is well told with relatable characters and a great ending. Grab your copy today.

[Karen Fausto · Rating 2 out of 5]

Estoy indecisa sí darle una estrella o dos...
Definitivamente, un asco de libro. El argumento central se ve enrollando por una deuda que carece de realismo y justificación por parte de un personaje que es demasiado contraste entre lo que aparenta y es. Hay que tener un poco fe por un cambio inminente ante el personaje, pero desde la primera vez ya se empieza a dudar si vale la pena.

Es decir quiere hacer las cosas correctas, pero el pasado siempre te absorbe y te hace la persona del presente, así que mi más grande pregunta: ¿cómo pudo gustarle Harper tan rápido con una mirada y su manera de ser se infligió a la ternura? ¿Un hombre que vivió dentro de la mafia toda su vida?
Claramente, la autora quería un final feliz y poder conectar las razones por las cuales la protagonista cae rendida a sus pies, aún sin coherencia absoluta y siempre menos de la media.

Este libro, como la relación entre Rob y Harper, me resulta muy fantasioso y poco creíble. Pésima lectura y mala utilización de personaje como intenciones de cada uno.

[Tai Nelson-Barnes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nobody should be surprised to see a five-star rating for R.R. Banks. This is another wonderful story from him. This one has a mafia theme but isn't too deep into it.
I really loved Rob and everything he portrayed. Such a hard ass man wanting to do everything he can to make his family better. So when he meets Harper and she is so innocent he really doesn't know where to go with it.

Harper is innocent. She wants to come across as not so, but there isn't much she can hide when everyone around her is taking advantage of her and she really has no idea. The only one watching out for her IS the big bad wolf.

Loved this story. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

This is an amazing mafia romance that is very well written and developed, and flows flawlessly. Rob and Harper are wonderful and complex characters who meet in an unconventional way, but as their relationship grows it becomes a beautiful love story. It's fast-paced with drama, suspense, and hot and steamy scenes.

[Cathy P · Rating 3 out of 5]

Don't understand the 5 star reviews. Ok read

I'm not sure how this is #1 in military romance, sports romance and holiday romance when it has nothing to do with any of those things. I don't understand how this is billed as an alpha hole hard mafia romance, when it is nothing or the sort. The description is entirely misleading. You have a shy-ish billionaire that has nothing to do with the family business, who falls for a naive virgin.
Roberto is a supposed mob boss trying to go legit. Harper is an aspiring singer who gets in with a hustled who ends up trying to Dell her into sex slave trade. The plot was good, but not well executed. I liked the characters, but there wasn't much depth and there was no development. Just an ok read that will kill a few hours. Book ends at 21%. There is a bonus book and see excerpts for other books as well.

Just when I think that I have a favorite book by this author he writes another that becomes my favorite! I read this in one sitting because I could not put it down. This is a well crafted plot that centers around Rob Rossi, the son of a deceased mob boss and now heir to that role.Rob however is haunted by his past but is delveing into legitimate business endeavors. He saves Harper from being sold to a porn director and ultimately into the hands of human traffic operators.Only Harper could reach out into Rob's heart and soul and saves him. All of the characters are memorable. There is mafia suspense and hot steamy sex and mad passionate love. You will enjoy this romance!
I received an ARC copy for my honest review and also purchased it for my library. It's a keeper!

This book has it all! RR Banks has given us a great story with a mafia mob boss, a musician, a con-man hustler, a porn movie maker and sex trafficker, sexy lawyer friend and hot body guards! This story moves from New York to LA and has a few twists and turns that will keep you reading into the wee hours, The characters in the story are well developed, the conversations flow naturally and the storyline while complex, is never disjointed or confusing.

Don’t go into this story expecting the normal mafia, bad guy trope and you will be pleasantly surprised by this work by RR Banks! I certainly would recommend this and am happy to provide a 5-Star review.

Deserves more than 5 ⭐...

Its one of those books that one is compelled to continue reading without so much as a break...enjoyed the subtlety of darkness inherent in Roberto Rossi' character which is interspersed with a deep need for love. He finds it accidentally with Harper who he's drawn to place under his protection. Love is a sweet discovery for both and a realization that not only is Harper under his protection but now she's his property. Its a sweet read, with hot and sizzling sexual chemistry with an element of danger to add to the passion. Fabulous and recommended highly.

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a really good book. I really enjoyed the characters. Harper was kinda naïve at the beginning of the book she believed anything Landon would tell her. She thought Landon had her back. As it turn out he was in deep with some people he owed. He was willing to do a not so nice thing to pay his debt. Luckily the guy that Landon owed and figured things out. Harper didn't know anything about what was going on. Rob came along and figured out what Landon was doing. He put a stop to that quick. Great read. I recommend this book to all mystery and romance readers.

Read the reviews

I read the reviews, of this author and his books, and have this a try. I have 4 stars, because it was free.
It had some of the feel good romance raved about by other reviewers. However, I found it slow, flipping pages ahead at times, to get to the next scenario. The bad guys were just stupid, and the hero, even stupider for dealing with them. For a raised in the life Mafia kingpin,
our hero doesn't know what his Arch rival is up to... It just doesn't ring true.
And there were typos/any are too many in my opinion. Also, mix ups on who was speaking: he said when it should have been she said.
Congrats to those who enjoy this book and this author.
