My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.

Ariel has just earned her degree in forensic accounting and has several offers for jobs, but she’s been working two jobs for years to afford college so she’s ready for a break before she decides. She rents a cabin in the woods, the agent tells her about the grumpy neighbor and Ariel thinks she will just avoid him.
Bruno has taken some much needed time off from running the bar/strip club for the Arakas family. He’s at his cabin fishing one morning when a bear comes out of nowhere and slams into him. They both fall into the lake and the bear swims off with his fish. Ariel sees the whole thing, some really hot guy just got attacked by a bear! When the hot guy doesn’t surface she jumps into the lake to save him. She manages to pull him out and when she looks into his eyes she just knows this moment will change her life forever, so she runs away.
He sees her the next day walking and kidnaps her. She after a little back and forth is a willing kidnappee. She knows that Bruno is a mob boss once he introduces himself. But she doesn’t care she wants him and she’s going to go along with whatever he says. They enjoy dinner and get to know one another better. He tells her someone stole from the club and he needs to go there. She goes with him. After she moves in with him and they have their first time together, I love yous and they are officially a couple. She meets the whole Arakas family and the ladies love her, she fits right in.
The guys catch the thief and soon Ariel is working with Bruno as their accountant. Epilogue with them married.
No angst just cute instalove.

Are you ready for the crazy train?

Bruno may be King at the King's castle, but when a bear attacks he is just a man. A man who is fortunate Ariel is there to save his ass! The moment Bruno opens his eyes he knows his savior is his, his Siren to kidnap, claim and knock up! Not that she resists....much! Together they willingly jump onto the crazy train that is fueled by Silver Spoon water and they embrace their instalove....repeatedly!
I love every crazy minute we spend in Silver Spoon Falls and Silver Spoon Underworld. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

It was okay

I was hoping that Bruno's story would have a bit more excitement. It was an okay read compared to Dante and Dmitri's stories. As for Ariel and him calling her Siren, she didn't really give off siren vibes, and what is her background story? For me, it was alright. It still had the hot, steamy sex 2.5 stars

Ariel Drake just got her degree in forensic accounting. She worked 2 part time jobs to get through school so she decided to take the summer off. She has three job offers to consider. She ends up in Silver Spoon Falls and is renting a cabin there. The lady in charge of the cabin rental warns her that her neighbor is grumpy and a recluse when he is in the cabin.

Bruno Revello owns a cabin on the lake and is Ariel’s neighbor. He goes there to relax. The first morning Ariel sees Bruno fishing. A bear jumps on him to get his fish and Bruno ends up in the lake. Ariel jumps in and saves him but then runs away when she remembers the warning that he is grumpy.

Bruno owns a bar called the King’s Castle. He’s been running the mostly legal strip club since his boss Dante Arakas retired. His manager Rick calls him to tell him that over the weekend, an employee stole from the club.

What happens when Bruno is driving to town and sees Ariel walking on the side of the road? Will he be able to convince her to take a chance on him? What does Ariel think of Bruno and his business?

Like and didn’t like

I liked… that it was Bruno’s story. He’s an important member of the family. He’s impulsive, obsessed, and alpha. He did what Dante should’ve done as the big boss, “kidnap” his girl, and be very forthcoming. Liked the bear and saving incident. Loved the family dinner, they accepted Ariel in the family.
Didn’t like… the story was rushed and bland. She didn’t give any resistance. There wasn’t really a conflict in the storyline. I would’ve liked that Bruno used her degree of forensic accounting to find the thief. Also, dislike the lack of details, for example: they are in her house kissing and suddenly they are driving to Silver Spoon Falls… when did they get out of the house and in the car?? When did he sit her in the passenger’s sear and ran to the driver’s seat. Makes me reread thinking I missed something.

So, basically it’s just a short story of how Bruno met his girl. He didn’t even have to woo her.

Dang that is a quick 📕, 😝

This a VERY fast paced book. 🏃🏻‍♀️💨 When they started getting their freak on, I was like wow this is early for a Loni Ree book maybe this means the book will have a few steamy scenes, but looked down and it was at 56ish%.😳. I was into the book and really wasn’t paying attention to the length of book.
I read this through KU. I don’t think I am going to buy it. I would if it was .99 but not $2.99😐 I recommend it though especially if you have Kindle Unlimited. There really isn’t that much drama or action, like I said it is very fast paced. You can read this on a short lunch break. It has a little steam, 1 in the story and a short quickie in the epilogue, so it IS safe for work imo.
I’m very much looking forward to the next book on Constantine, though that is weeks away. I read this book on the day it was released, 03/21/2023.

story was ok

*** some spoilers if you haven’t read the book yet.***

I loved reading the first books in this series. But This book seemed to drop the ball though. The plot could have used more details. Like what happened to Bunny? Why leave that part out when the previous books go into some detail about how the mess was cleaned up.

Why have Ariel be a forensic accountant for her just to become the bookkeeper? Kind of made it sound like they were going to use Ariel to figure out where the money went. Bud nope. Nothing but a bookkeeper in the end.

I know this was a short story but adding a little more detail makes the books all that better.

Soft Kidnapping

Bruno is at his getaway cabin, fishing, when a bear attacks him. Ariel sees the attack and pulls him from the lake. Then she takes off. He sees her walking the next day, kidnapping her. But is it really kidnapping if she wants to stay? And who was crazy enough to steal from his boss who runs the underworld?

I absolutely love the Silver Spoon Underworld series. This book gives us Ariel and Bruno's story. She is getting away after trying to figure out her new career choices, and he is the grumpy neighbor she is warned to stay away from. I love how these two meet and how he immediately knows he will do anything to keep and protect her. The water has them going down like flies, and you will fall in love with their perfect ending.

Rescued by Love

Ariel spots her sexy neighbor fishing when a bear comes out of nowhere to steal his fish and pushes him into the lake. When the bear surfaces but her neighbor doesn't Ariel jumps in to rescue him but flees once he is safe. Bruno knows his rescuer is the woman for him so when he spots her the next day he sort of kidnaps her of the street but with only the best intentions of making her his in this sweet and funny read.

Short and Wonderful!

Ariel’s Duke is short, sweet, spicy and wonderful. The Silver Springs water claims its next Alpha! Bruno, who is almost taken out by a bear who is almost as grumpy as he is, and is saved by his Siren. Bruno knows in that one moment that Ariel is his! These two are perfect for each other. Ariel fits right in with the family craziness! Loved this book from start to finish!

Great

Ariel is freshly graduate from college taking a vacation before she starts working. Bruno is a few businesses they are pattnered with the mafia in town. The first time they meet is when Bruno is almost taken out by a bear in the woods, but she runs after she helps him. The second time is at random and Bruno takes no chances of her getting away this time. Will there be a HEA?

silver spoons water has struck again

Super fast paced insta love.
No drama just a quick safe fun read.

Of course you see some of our characters from previous stories. But it’s a standalone just fun to see other characters.

HEA
She’s a virgin,
He’s a mobster
It’s love at first eye contact for him ironically enough it was just after he was pulled from a lake.

I think that was the fastest insta love of the series which is really saying something but it was still a cute short read. Ariel saves Bruno from drowning and he knows she’s the one the instant their eyes connect. He literally wastes 0 time claiming her but overall it was cute and always nice to read a book with low drama.

A good insta love story

Ariel and Bruno have an unusual introduction when she saves him and then runs off. Bruno finds her and as far as he's concerned she's his forever, and he just has to convince her. I liked that Ariel is a strong heroine especially when faced with a mafia man like Bruno.

4.5* read

Ariel is on vacation at a cabin near a lake. She comes across a fellow vacationer, Bruno and the attraction is instant. There is a hilarious opening scene between Bruno, a fish and a bear.

Once our couple meet, Bruno knows the famous town's water is in effect!

This is a quick, instalove read that is entertaining!

I enjoyed this read 📚!

Loved

Loved Bruno and Ariel's story. Bruno finds himself in a very unexpected position when a bear steals his fish and a siren saves him from drowning. Bruno isn't what Ariel expects when she's told not to disturb the neighbor, but has to save his life. These two complimented and each other so well.

I received this as an arc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was a fantastic instalove romance with a cute fairytale retelling twist. I’m really loving this series where fairytales meets the underworld of Silver Spoon Falls. Ariel and Bruno had a very dramatic meet cute and I was so there for it. The two had amazing chemistry and I loved the steamy bits. I really enjoyed reading this story.

I love this series! Bruno takes one look at Ariel and that’s it for him. Ariel is taking some time to go over job offers and figure out what her next step will be. She’s decided a getaway is what she needs. After a crazy first meeting with Bruno Ariel runs. Bruno isnt about to let her get away.

Bruno and his little siren are so adorable together. Who would have thought a mob boss could be tamed so easily. I found the Arakas family through the MC series and haven't been disappointed since. A great short read.

Bruno & Ariel

I am always happy to return to Silver Spoon Falls and take a dip in the water there! Bruno and Ariel’s story was delightful! It was short, sweet and steamy. It was everything I’ve come to expect from one of these alpha men that has drank the water there. I loved it.

This is so sweet! I’ve been waiting for Bruno to get his HEA. His and Ariel’s story starts off with a splash ! Love the Little Mermaid nuggets woven in (especially Ariel’s hair and swim team experience!)
