Big nope. Hated it very much. MMC is a racist and a misogynist. We are NOT romanticizing that. Also there’s an unnecessary SA scene. Sending Ms. Jasper an invoice cause I want all $5.29 of my money back. I wish I could give this 0 stars.

What a love story! Please read Purchased For Seduction with an open mind and without judgment, or do not read it at all. Purchased For Seduction is not your typical romance novel. If you cannot handle violence, murder, torture, rape, BDSM, and other vanilla types of romance sequences, this is not the story for you. In this book, you will find yourself rooting for what society considers the bad guy. I have to tell you, with a YiaYia like the one that the Pagonis family has, murder would be a prevalent thought in my mind! Latrice, her cousin Tisha, Cassia, Fallon, and Helen are powerful women in their own right whom you do not want to underestimate or cross. Galanos is the BFF of Latrice, whom she happens to love and who loves her. His brother Stravos and Loukos are hardcore Greek mafioso who have his back, even when he does not think so. His nephew Antonio is messed up but down with the family, as is their Italian cousin Van. These are the characters that keep you engaged in this story and turning the pages. You root for them to survive the madness of their life and find some absolution and peace.

I enjoyed this story. With all of its kinky hot steamy sex, this is a love story, actually several. You see how these men find their true soulmates make them better men by accepting them and their demons. The storyline has action, suspense, intensely steamy romance, and lots of drama. It was an entertaining read that often had me laughing out loud and blushing!

Galanos is Yaya's favorite grandson, she allows him anything but must stay away from black girls. His older brothers both are married to and have children by black women His father and Yaya are not happy and planning something.
Latrice is young beautiful and he doesn't understand why she won't have sex with him he thinks that she is playing hard to get. Latrice is in love with Gal and they both like talking to each other but she doesn't want to tell him she thinks he might humiliate her and put it on social media. But she agrees to a group date with the other family, they go to a club his cousin asked a favor of Gal and Gal, unfortunately, did not do his homework and ask Latrice to help him and they both ended up in a desperate situation. He realizes he cares deeply for Latrice and he would do anything for her and to protect her Gal had to do what needed to be done. The storyline was interesting in the life of the Italian mafia, the characters were very interesting and dangerous. Violence, danger, suspense, drama, action-adventure, and love. Adult content.

First and foremost, this book is well written. I loved the POV style it was written in which is a great contrast to the first two books. This family kept me laughing. Its hot & spicy with some difficult topics but if you give it a chance, the wild ride is definitely worth it!

I freaking love Jamilla!!

First off, I was tickled to see my name in the back of the book, what?! When did that happen? Need to keep up apparently cuz that’s rad! More importantly I loved this story! I actually have not read the proceeding books but looks like I need to as I totally felt for Galanos. He had my heart. He’s been through it but boy does he love fiercely.
He’s so mix younger than his brothers and has to fight for his place in the family (he thinks) but his brothers truly love him and want to know him.
Enter our h, Latrice. I couldn’t get a good visual of her so she was a bit harder to relate to. All these big super dark black beautiful women are starting to blend. I’m ready for a light, skinny, short black woman please and thank you!
These two were so different yet both starved for love and for people to see them as equals, not children. This was a he falls first and hard. Love that!! Which made the spïcy scenes epically so because Jamila Jasper does NOT do half measures. He stëamy scenes level of heat are paralleled by very few other authors. She does them unapologetically down and dïrty. She is my Queen!!
All in all as always, I got immersed in this book and didn’t want to come out. Nobody weaves (no pun intended) laughter, swoon worthy Hero’s, 🔥 between the shëets scenes & alpha male quite like Jamila. One of my all times one click authors. Can’t wait to see what’s next and totally buying this book right now!

Dark, Dirty and Dramatic

This book , although the last of this series (possibly), is a Triple Threat. It should have a HUGE warning sign attached to the front cover.

Gal and Latrice are exactly what each other needs. Their chemistry alone is enough to fill at least 5 or 6 chapters, not mention a chapter or two of pure side hurting laughter. But their experiences that they go through, will DEFINITELY make you gasp, cry and feel every emotion possible.

I’m looking forward to seeing, the new series.

Any opinions expressed within this review are solely and uniquely made by me and I am happily leaving this review. I originally voluntarily received an advanced copy of this book via bsprout.

Uncontrollable Love ❤️

Galanos is was really in to his best friend Latrice, but tried hard not to show it. He was chosen by his grandmother, YiaYia, how to be a cold hearted monster! But Latrice brought out things in him which showed he was still human and could love! They’ve both survived a rape together and when Galanos finds out that YiaYia is behind the assaults he’s determined to kill her to stop her racists meddling in his and his brothers’ lives.

Great story

Loved the end of the green Mafia series
Gal and Latrice were great together
They were what each needed
This was a crazy family and after reading books one and two you know this one was going to be off the chain and Jamila did not disappoint
You got all the action twist and turns and surprises you didn't expect to keep you turning the pages
Great story, fantastic ending
Great job Jamila
Looking forward to reading your next series

Had potential…

Not sure what’s going on but this wasn’t it. This book was so disjointed and repetitive. Could definitely benefit from having some edit the book or read it before publishing it. It made me wonder if it was written by ChatGPT? This book definitely had potential but fell flat. I just couldn’t give it lower than 3 stars without feeling bad. Why do ALL of the female characters have to be doormats?

[Clarelle Charles · Rating 4 out of 5]

Galanos & Latrice are a match made in chaos

This relationship starts with pretend loathing then shared trauma that leads to friendship and devotion. Things go from bad to really bad really quickly. Gal's family and keeping up the status quo for public personas bring much drama in this story. There's a lot of growth from beginning to end so don't give up on our characters when they do all the wrong things for what they think are the right reasons.

[Valeria Mayes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great ending.

I had already read entire book in Patreon, but I reread it. This was a great ending to the Pagonis family trilogy. This book was beautiful and well worth the reread. Jamila jasper is great.

Purchased For Seduction: BWWM Romance ( Greek Mafia Romance Book 1)

This was a okay book. It was different. I can't understand why when you write about black women, why they have to go through so much to have a happy ending.

[Latasha Waters · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sexy and entertaining

There is sadness in this tale....BUT....Love that sexy Galanos found his beautifal love Latrice. Gal is a whole problem and thankfully met his match! The Pagonis men strike again!!!!

[Lisa F · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the story and suspense. I read it in one sitting. I am sorry to see this series come to end. The last book is the best out of the series.

Gal & Latrice

This book was, I don't know what to say. It has me speechless. There were moment that had you on edge then there were the heart stopping moments and then the gut wrenching painful moment. This book was a real emotional rollercoaster.

[A · Rating 4 out of 5]

Funny…

I think the best was saved for last! Hilarious! A bunch of silly characters that were more so than the last two. Ding dong the witch finally died. A great book that I would not hate to revisit again.

[Coco · Rating 3 out of 5]

My fave! It was definitely deeper than I expected it to be. I loved reading the story from Gal's point of view and seeing evolution. I also enjoyed his enjoyment of Latrice. There is a traumatic moment that happens early on that really helps transforms Gal...

[Kolby · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was smoking hot and full of laughter! I had a wonderful time with this crazy family. Gal is my favorite of the clan and Latrice is magnificent as well. I can’t wait to read about those crazy Sicilian cousins of theirs. This by far was my favorite book of this Trilogy.

Purchased for Seduction

Latrice and Gal’s storytelling was everything! I can’t with Yiayia; this one I can’t even get past it what she did to Latrice and Gal. Seriously the wife’s should worry about the genes passed down from Yiayia 😳😳 Loved this HEA tho ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[Melanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a dark erotic romance. They storyline was good and I’m I liked how the author made the characters more redeemable by the end of the story.

Not my type of romance

I wanted to like this but I couldn't . It was too much ugliness involved . Gal was not likable

I can't wait to read the next book. The grandmother was evil, prejudice and exploited her children and grandchildren. Can't wait to share with my co-worker.

What an ugly atrocious book. Why do black women have to go through this in a book ☹ So mad I was recommended this

Wild

This author is really good... I have read almost or all the series but this one was wild to me.. And book one and two..

[Ashley - The Tattered Page]

HOOK: when the toxic guy with a Greek family eats his plus sized best friend out all the way to her back door, slurping on her starfish then she says “I just see you as a friend” the MMC crashes out.

This book started so incredible. It was fun and fast-paced. Then it went in some weird directions. For the most part I enjoyed the read, but it got wild.

[Hawkeye K · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was so looking forward to reading the final book about the Pagonis family especially to see what type person was Galanos. I wanted to see if he was as narcissistic as he had acted in the last two books. This book though became hard for me to read not because the book didn’t fit the other two in the personality of the brother it was about. There was still the MC head conversation as before. There was even the quirky personality that so fit who Galanos was. What stopped me dead in my reading track and required some time away from the book to pull myself together was the rape scene and the aftermath. There are puzzle pieces to Galanos story that comes out piece by piece and I figured out early on where all this would lead to, I just needed to hang in there until the end. As dark as Stavros visions are, this is the reality of Galanos life. He acts the way he does because it keeps him sane, as he says he never had the love that Loukas and Stavros had from their mother, his mother was a demon like his grandmother. Just as with the other brothers it is the love of a woman that saves him, grounds him and brings out his protective side, that woman is Latrice. Having failed her once he makes it his mission to never fail her again. With his story we finally finish out the family dynamics, the men admit the women they have married control and now run the family. Are they still killers – yes sort of, are they still the Greek mafia family of power – yes, but can they tell their wives what to do – even Loukas who’s wife is 20+ years younger than him, the answer is no. The HEA is not just expected but needed, a conclusion to all that the brothers and their sisters have been through makes you want to cry along with Galanos as he finally gets the woman who makes him whole. The ending frees you with humor and love, bringing you full circle from Fallon/Stavros to Tisha/Loukas now Latrice/Galanos from Greece with love.

The Bigger the Narcissist, the Harder the Fall

Oh WOW!! Ms Jasper did NOT disappoint with Galanos’ story! He’s the youngest of the Pagonis Brothers and the last to get his story told. While reading about him in the earlier novels in the series, I wondered how on earth could Ms Jasper write a relatively believable love story starring this self-centered, narcissistic, little boy, and Tisha’s larger than life, body positive, good girl, cousin, Latrice? Well, she did it. I mean, when Gal woke up, he fell harder than a Redwood in Sequoia National Park! You must read the first two books in the series to satisfactorily read this installment. As with the previous books, this story is dark, not just a little but, VERY dark. Even with the darkness, the love that erupts from it’s pages is so sweet you’ll get a cavity! Another delightful rollercoaster ride and love story that takes the reader on a journey that is untouchable. I solidly remain a fan of Ms Jamila Jasper. I look forward to reading more of her novels.

This book is the third one in Jamila Jaspers’ Greek Mafia series on the Pagonis Crime Family. The final book stars the youngest brother, vain, giddy amoral Gal. Gal is only twenty and what he lacks in years, he makes up in the dysfunction factor. He is an internet star with many internet groupies and more than his fair share of real life lovers. However, he is in love with his best friend, Latrice, but knows loving her will put her in danger. After all his murderous grandmother, Yiayia, is still a force to be reckoned with. As usual, mixed in with the crazy, Ms. Jasper gives us a rollicking ride mixed with casual violence, family feuding, hot heads and big hearts. The story is told from Gal’s POV and he is more sensitive and I think more broken than his brothers. There were places in the story where I laughed and some where I shook my head….but none where I was not engaged! I hope it is not too much to ask that Van have a story next? I was intrigued by his part in Loukas’ story.
