Really enjoying this series of quick sexy reads! Assi, was a boss in her own right, but meeting Ben taught her about a real alpha man! She tried to flex and show him who is boss, but to no avail. Ben was "the" boss through and through! Enjoyed this! 👍👍👍

Well this was better than Owned by the billionaire.
My recommendation however is don’t read these stories one right after the other. The mens looks are almost all the same. Especially all have long dark hair. Geesh. These appear to all be set in Monterey CA. Now I’m familiar with Monterey, but is the Irish mob present in Monterey? No idea so this seems far fetched to me and yes I know this is fiction.
Also why are the women all from other countries that then came to the U.S.? As if there aren’t diverse women born in the U.S., just odd in my opinion.
Now in this book the mobster is part of the Irish mob. He tells the female MC this and there is literally no reaction to this information, hilarious, what? There is like little to no mob stuff I. The story except scene at beginning.
I did like that the female MC was wealthy in her own right.
Spelling errors in this story in my Kindle edition. For example- the limo had “tainted” windows.
On to the next in about a duke. Bet he has long dark hair and a huge peen also! Gah.
Sidenote whoever wrote the blurb for this story deserves some award. The female MC was celibate one year haha. And series of encounters…there are two haha. Wow, needed to stretch the description some. And why is a woman who doesn’t want to settle or play games labelled an ice queen, girl please with that nonsense. Dang don’t shame people for their trauma or standards.

Imani has done it again, another stellar hit
I absolutely, positively loved this book. Once again she got me. First off I don’t read sports books, and what does she do? She gets me with a book about an athlete and totally nails it! Then I don’t read about gangsters….what does she do? A damn mob boss lol and I loved Ben’s character! Him and Assi are totally perfect together! Smokin hot chemistry and nonstop heat and 🔥!! This one was very short, yet it was very fulfilling! Crazy how that works 🤔🤔. Imani truly has some talent. It’s not all about the sex, sure that’s there but the characters DO have some depth to them. I like this! I’m itching to get to the next book! Damn, I swear if she writes about bikers I’m going to laugh because I avoid biker books too. 🤣😂. This bear 🐻 gave this book 5 shooting stars 💫💫💫💫💫.

Amazing story!!
Imani Jay keeps delivering amazing instalove books one after another. Ben and Assi's story was especially touching after everything Assi had been through in her personal life. But once Ben saw her he knew that she was his home. Let the fun times begin!! And whew! My Kindle almost burned my hands this story was so steamy, sexy and full possession and passion. And when I read the last scene of their HEA I admit I cried. Yeah I'm a sap for a great love story. Sue me. Lol. I cannot recommend Imani Jay's books enough. They are that good! Her writing style makes her books so much fun and interesting to read.

Imani Jay did it again! This one had me GAGGING in a good way! All hot and bothered at the same time! For sure this one was a page turner that you don't want to end at all! I was so upset when I ran out of pages. I loved both characters in this one, they were both major bosses in their own right. It's a must read for anyone that's looking for a good, short fix without a cliffhanger. The only negative thing that anyone could possibly say is, it's way too short and you're going want more!!! WYLDER ME MORE PLEASE 🔥🔥 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book didn't jive with me at all.
Some of the descriptions, like huge mitts and things like that, took me out of the story and made me think extremely unsexy things when I should've been all in with the book. It made me uncomfortable to read it because it just read weird for me.
The characters didn't seem to fit real well and I didn't like Ben's absolute disregard aof her hesitance to do certain things in the bedroom. I had a really hard time connecting with the characters and getting a feel for them.

Good and naughty read, this was my first book by this author, and I enjoyed it. Assi and her friends go into Ben’s club, and once he sees her he knows he wants her. He has his security guy bring her to him when she goes to leave. They have a night together, we’ll not the whole night when she leaves right after. He lets her go even though he didn’t want to. They last apart for a whole week, and not again after that.
Safe read, with a sexy ex mobster, and the curvy object of his affection. A sweet epilogue and a hea.

Awesome Read
After a crappy marriage all women want someone like Ben a real ride or die for his woman. Besides making sure she is well pleasured, and provided for, it’s not about the money, but the respect you have for each other. Marriage is so many things, and no one needs to settle for anyone, because 9x out of 10 it’s the wrong person. This was a great read, Assi found her ride or die, I would love to find mine.

All the heat!
This was a short and very steamy read, exactly what I needed in my busy schedule.
It's very light on the "mob" aspect and focuses more on the twice divorced financially successful FMC and her journey to love again.
I'm always a sucker for a tough/rough MMC getting all soft for his lady, and we totally got that in this story.

A good story.
This is not the usual mafia romance. It is about the characters and their relationship. Assistant and Ben are good characters with chemistry. I like it's Assi with more money. She is a successful and powerful businesswoman. There are many steamy scenes. This is a light story, which is nice to read now and then on this genre.

Loved this
Another brilliant book of the series. On first glance at Assi he knows she is the one for him now he just has to show after the first encounter she leaves only to return to him a week later. Ben knows that this time he will not let her walk out on him again time to show Assi who she belongs to.

Determined to continue regardless of past failures because life is worth so much more when you do not give up.
Ben saw his future while absently observing business
Assi is steadfast in moving forward and experience life
Will the chance they take on each other come to fruition or end on another lonely night alone

HHHHHHOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!!!!
I loved this book from beginning to end. Assi and Ben were electric from the start. It only deepened the more they got to know each other. I would definitely recommend this book. I gave it 5-stars, because to me it had it all. I look forward to reading more of Imani Jay's books. This book was pulled-off flawlessly. Well done Ms. Jay

Two consenting adults!
They were both what the other needed in their life to reignite the fire and passion that had lain dormant for too long! Found that happy place where dreams lead to the reality of a commitment to another person! May the love and excitement last until forever comes! 💞

I wasn’t ready to let them go!
Ben and Assi were made for each other. She is a badass business tycoon who was all feminine in his arms and he was the reformed gangster who could be tender and a little vulnerable with his lady. And the sex was so hot! This one is going onto my to-be-read-again list. I love Imani Jay’s novels. I’m off to read another one of her romances.

Lonely Night
Assi is feeling lonely but none of the men at the club her friends brought her to appeal to her until she is on the way out and the club's owner invites her to his office. Ben is everything Assi is looking for and more but can she keep it to one night in this dirty tale.

Devoured Lust
Extremely quick, yet heat-filled read involving two head-strong characters, Ben and Assi. Curvy business versus steeled Irish Mafia with signed NDAs and a contract letting him devour her any way he wants. Swoon!

A Hot Hookup!!
What a great story Ben & Assi knew exactly what each other was looking for and their hook up. Once again story was too short it could have been longer, it left some unanswered questions.

Hot sweet sexy!
This book has it all! Okay let me say, read with the fans on!!! This book is STEAMY! It is short but just long enough for a good quick read. The hero is all Alpha but not OTT. It is instalove but with a believable HEA. Especially after reading the epilogue.

Magnetic, Steamy Instalove
Assi & Ben are likeable as individual characters and just hot together. Jay does it a gain with a nicely paced erotica short heavy on the heat. Her Owned series grips readers with characters who makes us theirs. More, Imani. Don't stop!

Good for a quick airplane read!
For such a short story, it was a good one. If you are wanting a light and spicy read, it’s for you. If you want something to really get invested in, come back when you’re ready for something shorter.

Sometimes Contracts are sexy
I love the no nonsense of Ben going after who he wants. They were hot instantly. I wanted more. Imani Jay does a good job of making insta love hot and believable.

You gotta love a big strong hunka hunka!
I appreciate Ben being a tough guy, rough and handsome… not some metro dude. And Assi isnt some withering flower… she’s strong and successful in her own right and they’re perfect when they come together.

Ben is that dude!
Brock mused that one day Ben would know what it felt like to meet a woman and go crazy over her. I just wish we'd had that scene in this book!lol great story, super spicy. The epilogue was too precious. Ben and his contracts are worth the read!

Contractual takeover
He left himself powerless bit stronger than ever from her love. He exercised patience He didn't know he had until the moment when his patience was lost as she came for him. Their contract was an unbreakable and fiery union that spelled out forever.
