Innocence Claimed #3
Paying the Debt
Some people call me a demon – a bad bad man who does very bad things. They’re not wrong.
But that’s before she falls into my life – the too pure, too innocent, too untouched Skye Jensen.
She’s too good for a filthy mafia king like me, but that won’t stop me. I’ve been watching her for longer than she knows, and my interest has turned to obsession. I’m consumed with the pure need to take her, to claim her, and to make her mine and only mine.
The piece of garbage who put her up as collateral at a card game he couldn’t win never deserved her anyways. And now she’s mine.
All of her.
I’ll be a ruthless monster to the rest of the world, but never to her.
I’ll worship every inch of her, and show her things she’s never even dreamed of. I’ll fight the whole damn world to keep her safe.
Because what’s mine is mine.
Forever.
Dominant, utterly obsessed alpha hero? Check. So sugary-sweet your teeth will hurt? Also check! Smoking’ insta-love cranked up to the absolute max? Check and check! If you love it quick and dirty and oh-so-hot-and-sweet, this one’s for you! HEA with NO CHEATING!

3.5*
If you’re looking for a short, hot OTT insta romance featuring a beautiful eighteen year old virgin and a scorching hot alpha male look no further.
This is a short read finishing at just 26% but what’s here is good.
Jagger Kovac is the powerful and ruthless crime boss who’s cleaning up his empire. The prostitution is gone and the drugs are next.
Skye’s father Tommy Jenson is a violent drunk who works as a dealer for Kovac. But the dossier Jagger creates on Tommy reveals the surprising fact that Tommy has a daughter. Jagger falls instantly in love/lust with Skye and starts to plan to make her his.
Now lets be honest this is smut but it’s wrapped up in a nice package and I really enjoyed it. I think I might check out the previous two books in this series.

She paid her father’s debts with her body… over and over and over again..
There was so much sex in the book I found myself just saying but why and omg 😳 again. I know her stuff is sore and the man was 11 inches long. Who wants 11 inches 5 times a day ?
Yes 🙌🏽 people the correct answer is no one !! No one wants there stuff stretched out like a old rubber band. Also, if he’s got basically a foot long and he’s literally been pounding her like a drum how does she even hold in anything ? Hello, Houston we need some extra pelvic floors out here these are damaged !!!
But other than the excessive sex the writing was done well!!
Who doesn’t like a tattooed antihero? I know I do and most of my lovely friends. On another note 📝 let’s focus on those positives again tattoos and antiheroes and let us put ourselves to bed tonight knowing that we made it..
Happy reading everyone !!! I hope you have a lovely night 🥰😍

"Paying the Debt" is the story of Skye and Jagger.
A poker game.
A lost bet.
A debt owed to the boogeyman.
An instant attraction.
Breeding.
Loads and loads of cum loving and baths and ass licking and breeding (seriously, if youre a germophobe like me, this will give you all types of anxiety)
Mild drama.
HEA.
This delivered as expected, albiet with some ass tonguing which always freaks me out. Bacteria guys. Anal bacteria.

I think I am in love with all of the smutty stuff that Madison Faye writes. Seriously, I'm hooked. I love all of her insta-love and insta-lust crap. I eat it up.
Paying the Debt was a pretty quick read. It was a dual POV from Skye and Jagger. No, not Mick Jagger. Just Jagger. Anyways I loved both characters instantaneously. Skye was living in an abusive home due to her terrible father. Then there's Jagger who is soon to be his boss, well ex-boss.. whatever. Anyways he found out that she was being treated like a slave to her own horrible father and beat her on the daily. So of course.. he swooped in like a knight in shining armor.
I loved every second of it. Their story was short and sweet - yet, I wanted more. Their love was basically everything to me. Even though it was insta and all that it somehow seemed genuine... in a way.
I feel like I'm messing up this review for this awesome book. Just know that I will probably always be a fan of Madison Faye's and will most likely dive into another one of her books/series later today.

“Be Mine Forever” …
Holy HOT mafia boss… Jagger is one of the most LICKABLE… ahem, I mean… likeable OTT protagonist I’ve ever encountered (who wouldn’t want to pay off a debt with him!).

The heat level is off the charts incendiary… placing both Kindles (and panties) at risk for spontaneous combustion! As with all of the other novellas in this series “Paying The Debt” left me dripping… ahem, with excitement and grasping for… err um, I mean… gasping for breath. Professionally written, the narrative flows seamlessly, is incredibly fast paced and I literally could not put it down.
Those who adore their hero’s LARGER… ahem… than life with certainly appreciate Madison Faye’s OTT sweet romance “Paying The Debt”!

The Heat is ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Paying the Debt (Innocence Claimed#3)" by Madison Faye is the first book I've read in this series and it was a smexy quick read. I enjoyed reading how the handsome hero and mafia crime boss, Jagger Kovac sets up everything to owe a cruel employee's (Tommy Jensen) innocent and sweet daughter, Skye Jensen. She thinks with her father losing the gambling bet to his new boss, she will act as a cook or a maid of sorts until the debt is paid in full but Jagger wants so much more!
He says, “You’re here to be my queen.” - Jagger
In his planning to get Skye, well--
"At first, I simply thought about killing him. After all, a man treating an absolute angel of a creature like that barely deserved to even be alive. But then, I decided I needed him — to get what I really wanted." ~Jagger Kovac
This just was a hot story where Jagger was a mafia crime boss who had done a lot of bad things and darkness enveloped him but he loved and needed Skye to help him to be better!
"She kisses me, and I’m lost. Head over heels lost. I’ve done a million terrible, cruel, dark, wicked things in my life to get to where I am, and somehow, she absolves me of every single sin with that kiss."
~ Jagger Kovac
Until FBI Agent Tanner comes a calling due to Skye's cruel father! Read this memorable tale... I assure you it's a very sexy read!!!!!
5 all the way stars!!!! *****

I am a huge fan of the mixture of innocence and darkness , loved this

This is the third book in the Innocence Claimed series by Madison Faye. Jagger Kovac is a dangerous man, his name is synonymous with the boogeyman. He’s the man pulling the strings for most of the syndicated crime in California, he has filthy hands that never get dirty. Skye is 18 years old, her father, Tommy is one of Jagger’s underlings - a low level drug dealer. He’s also an abusive drunk who uses Skye as a punching bag when he’s not gambling. Skye ends up being delivered to Jagger because her POS father was losing cards and used her as collateral. Skye first saw Jagger a few years ago when her dad took her to the wedding of an associate and she’s thought about him ever since. She thinks she’s going to his house to become his maid, she has no idea Jagger has been thinking about her too. I loved this book especially Jagger, I’ve had a thing for that name ever since Jagger Cates from General Hospital.

Very short n sexy as usual, loved it
November 8, 2017
“There, bent over with my hands on the glass of a multi-million-dollar beachside mansion window, my panties at my knees, and this gorgeous, dangerous, sexy, dominant, and much older man kneeling behind me with his face inches away from my never-been-touched pussy is the single hottest moment of my entire life.”
Mmmmm, I love my dominant totally obsessed heroes and Madison Faye writes them so well, even their names sound wicked. From Damien Castle to Christian Knolls and now Jagger Kovac, Ms. Faye’s Innocence Unclaimed series just sizzles. Jagger is just dangerously delicious. The head of the Russian mafia has a sweet obsession for the young Skye. Her father sold her off to pay his gambling debt and Jagger gladly took her as payment. Skye has been secretly obsessed over her gorgeous Russian for years, what she doesn’t expect is how possessive he will be of her. Anything’s better than being a slave to her Father, especially if it entails worshipping a hot Russian mobster. I love a really hot Russian and Jagger hits all the sweet spots. Ladies you will not want to put this one down it’s so good! If you haven’t started this series what are you waiting for!

Madison Faye is one of the erotic smut author that gives you the ultimate storyline with hotness that has you salivating. Paying the Debt is my favorite so far in this series. Oh Good lord.
Head mafia kind who rules the world and now wants to rule our heroine? Umm yes please!!!
Jagger is sexy. He is ruthless, he’s out of this world bossy and alpha but oh does he melt for our heroine. He takes her claims her and you can’t help but hope for something like that.
Skye has a hard life and it’s about to change as she’s forced to be collateral in her father’s crime life. She’s strong at times and there’s a softness you have to love!
I wished this was much longer and a full novel because I needed more.

I give this book 5 stars. I whole heartedly recommend this steamy sexy read. The storyline between Jagger and Skye was well written and starts with Skye's father betting her in a card game and loses to Jagger. Skye arrives to his house and is scared because he is a crime boss. He got her where he wanted her, some would say he was obsessed with her. A must read book. I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
October 28, 2017
A hot short read.
October 24, 2022
Why do I do this to myself?
October 21, 2017
This is a younger/woman, older-man short story. Jagger is the big man in town and he does everything he can to get his hands on Skye when he sees her picture. When he finds out how her father treats her he will do anything to save his angel from that life. Skye, only knows that she has been sent to Jagger for the lost bet her father has done in a card game. These two will find love in the strange place and way. But what a story it is. I loved this book. This is the third book in the Innocence Claimed Series but they can all be read separately. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

Over-the-top smut romance is served, and it's served hot!
This little hottie will make you giggle while you blush like the virginal heroine who faces the big, bad wolf of a mafia empire.
A lost bet is the reason she ends up at the hands of a merciless mafia boss, but surprisingly he's more gentle and caring than her own father. Exciting bedroom action colours and heats up the insta-love of a young woman and the kingpin who loves her above else.
The author has created a sweet and spicy ending to her series of stand-alones, Innocence Claimed.
Expect tender love, lots of sexy times, and babymaking that heightens this couple's desire to do naughty things all day long :-D

Madison Faye may just be my go to when I'm in between Alexa Riley releases - basically, if you enjoy their books, Madison Faye is right in your wheelhouse. Paying the Debt is a quick and deliciously smutty read. No real character development or detailed plot, but sometimes a girl just needs a fast and dirty read and this fits the bill perfectly. I liked Skye and I liked Jagger and the sex was HOT (if not slightly repetitive). I will definitely be reading more of her work! 3 out of 5 wine glasses.

Too young
## Not good. I liked the concept, hence the extra star. However, the heroine's age was a deal breaker for me. The heroine is 18. WAY too young. She's a child. Every time the hero would mention how young and small she was, I cringed. He kept saying, her small hands, her small frame, her small breas*s, her small pu**y, her small thighs, her small lips, even her tiny ass*ole....on and on. It just made it sound like he was having sex with a young child. Ugh. I couldn't shake it. Also, it was much too short. No development whatsoever. Ends at 27%. Can't recommend.

I loved this story! It was very fast paced but it seemed to just flow together, very insta-love and the hero was very alpha and man the sex scenes where amazing. This author is a hit or miss with me but i definitely would of loved if this was longer. The heroine was a virgin, doesn't really mention the hero sex life. and no cheating. and i also have to say i wasn't very impressed with the epilogue.

1.5 stars - I usually give 1 star if I don't like a book, but this one was just too over the top and too rushed, plus with no reedming qualities, hence... I just cannot give it more stars.
This is the last novella I have from Madison Faye and unless she writes a longer lenght novel I don't think I'll ever read something from her. These novellas are basically age gap taboo porn, but not even the steamy scenes were well written, so... not for me.
But, hey, this is my first dark romance (that I actually finished because I have other attempts that I DNFed - they were probably too dark for this baby)! There isn't much of a plot, but the guy is a bad guy who is kinda trying to turn good anyway. I have no idea how he is bad other than what the author tells us, but he is, okay?
Anyway, too quick, not much plot, the conflict pops out of nowhere and it's solved just as fast.

Libro fantastico, una trama così ben strutturata da sembrare che non ci fosse, personaggi molto profondi e dalle grandi mani. Scene spicy 10/10 (66 pagine su 105 per una scopata) e bellissimo lieto fine. Miglior pezzo di letteratura sul mercato.

Red-hot-sexy claiming of his “prize”
I received an Advance Reader Copy for Paying The Debt (Innocence Claimed Book #3) written by Madison Faye and voluntarily reviewed this book. Jagger Kovac has set his plans in motion, plans which will net him the one prize which he has set his eyes on, the one prize he has been obsessing over, ever since he found out about it - namely, the beautiful daughter of one of his much-lower-tier drug-pushing employees of his crime empire. He has done his homework and is impatiently waiting to capitalize on this latest winning.
Skye Jensen has not had the best lot in life. Beaten down, controlled and abused by her very own father, she now finds out she has been given to a fearsome crime lord in payment of her father’s gambling debts. One of the most memorable moments in her miserable life which Skye has held closely to herself is the one where she had once glimpsed Jagger Kovac at a wedding, and he was a man she could never forget. And now he was going to own her, to do as he pleases.
Jagger manages not only to nurture this innocent fire of attraction Skye has held for him over these last few years, but also starts a roaring inferno of a relationship, because Skye turns out to be everything that he wants to stand for, to become. And they will find out if what they have for each other is real, when they are tested unexpectedly not long after he makes her his.
Enjoyed Jagger’s character, whose past has shaped him into the man he wants to become, with visions to legitimize his empire, as well as the perfectly packaged storyline! Another great installment of her Innocence Claimed series! ❤️

Skye Jensen has not had the best lot in life. Beaten down, controlled and abused by her very own father, she now finds out she has been given to a fearsome crime lord in payment of her father’s gambling debts. One of the most memorable moments in her miserable life which Skye has held closely to herself is the one where she had once glimpsed Jagger Kovac at a wedding, and he was a man she could never forget. And now he was going to own her, to do as he pleases.
Jagger manages not only to nurture this innocent fire of attraction Skye has held for him over these last few years, but also starts a roaring inferno of a relationship, because Skye turns out to be everything that he wants to stand for, to become. And they will find out if what they have for each other is real, when they are tested unexpectedly not long after he makes her his.
Enjoyed Jagger’s character, whose past has shaped him into the man he wants to become, with visions to legitimize his empire, as well as the perfectly packaged storyline! Another great installment of her Innocence Claimed series! ❤️

REVIEW FOR: "PAYING THE DEBT (Innocence Claimed, Book #3)" by Madison Faye
Review Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Red-hot-sexy claiming of his “prize”
I received an Advance Reader Copy for Paying The Debt (Innocence Claimed Book #3) written by Madison Faye and voluntarily reviewed this book. Jagger Kovac has set his plans in motion, plans which will net him the one prize which he has set his eyes on, the one prize he has been obsessing over, ever since he found out about it - namely, the beautiful daughter of one of his much-lower-tier drug-pushing employees of his crime empire.

OMG! I’ve loved previous books from this author... But this one blew all of those out of the water!
I fell in love with both of the main characters.
I loved how possessive and protective the hero was of the heroine.
I also loved that even though the heroine was 18 she wasn’t bratty or immature like a lot of characters in an older man/younger woman story.
The characters just seemed to click, even better that it was like love/lust at first sight.
They fact that they had both seen each other without the other knowing and realising they were the one for each other just made the book my perfect kind of book.
Even though the synopsis hinted at an ownership, I didn’t feel like that was all the relationship was about, I felt their growing love and them getting to know each other, as well as him trying to protect her, and yet her finally understanding him and wanting to protect him too!
This may have been a shorter story than a lot of books I’ve read but i never felt like I had missed out on anything, it was a full story for me, that included an epilogue and didn’t leave me with any hanging questions or unknowns, everything was wrapped up at the end, this has made this book one of my all time favourites, and if I could I would have given it a lot more than 5 stars.
Also the author did an amazing job with the storyline, allowing for the characters relationship to build before throwing in a ‘dilemma’ near the end but had a quick ‘resolution’ that brought the characters closer together and solidified their relationship and the storyline.
This book was romantic, enchanting and STEAMY! It beckoned me to join the storyline, allowing me to easily envision what was happening in the book, like I was watching it like a movie.
I’m a soooooo glad that the author sent me an ARC copy of this book as I’m not sure I could have waited any longer to read this, thank you!

This review is for the audio-book Innocence Claimed Books 1-3
Audio-book: Narrators – This has three audios, each with two different male and female narrators. I found them all to do a great job of both male/female voices. I was definitely pulled into the stories by the strong characterizations these narrators provided. I did struggle on the last book as the hero in it had an accent that didn’t quite work for me but otherwise everything else regarding the narration was perfect.
This is one hot trilogy of novellas whose sole purpose is pure erotica in a very naughty way. All older men and younger women, some daddy kink as well as just pure out and out dirty sex is the primary focus of this audio-book. These all have over the top alpha heroes who want to claim their virgin heroines immediately upon first sight. Each of them are the jealous, protective type. The first and third heroes are completely obsessed with the heroine and one went to great lengths to get her into his possession. Each story has just a bit of a plot to it but they all give a very, very nice and sweet epilogue that made me wish there had been more to the story itself. I do love a good epilogue.
I personally love these type of alpha heroes and plan on checking other books by this author in hopes of finding a full length one with more of a storyline.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Skye Jensen and Jagger Kovac. Skye's dad has just bet her in a poker game and lost. So she is now the property of the local mob boss Jagger Kovac. Though she is scared after all she has heard about him she knows he has a powerful pull. She has seen him once in the past and wanted him even then. However she wonders what she will be required to do once she is truly his. Can she give herself to this man completely or will she end up being hurt by another man?
Jagger has been watching Skye for awhile now and the more he sees the more he knows he must have this woman completely. He has been waiting for the perfect opportunity to get her away from her abusive father and he has played right into his hands by betting her at the poker tables one night. Now he wonders can he have the woman he has been obsessing over or will he loose it all?
This is another great story from this author. This shows two people who have come from a rough background looking for a ray of sunshine at the end of a very dark tunnel. This book has some ups and downs that I really want to tell you about but don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I would however highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Madison Faye writes some of the hottest romance novels I have read recently and she is on auto buy whenever I need something with a great plot and Over-the-top smutty romance. I liked Madison Faye’s other books but I downright LOVE Paying the Debt.
Take a Head mafia boss who rules everything and now wants to own the innocent heroine. Check that! Im totally there for that!!! Jagger is dominant, he is alpha male all the way, he is totally ruthless and he totally is in love with Skye, the heroine. He would topple anything in his way to make her happy, including heads of city, state and other world governments, just for her. Skye has had a pretty bad life but it’s about to change due to something her father did out of selfishness which works to Skye’s betterment. She is this innocent, pure, strong young woman who is about to find her life changed—OMG this was such a love story full of twists and turns which I adored. Its full of sweet and sassy, spicy and saucy –dominance and submissiveness …Loved every moment including the beautiful ending. I wish this was longer but I adored this story and cant wait to see more stories like this!
My Rating: 5.0 stars *****
