She’s singing for tips the first time I see her. I’m captivated.
This curvy innocent with the voice of an angel doesn’t belong in a dive bar. She thinks I’ve come to save her from the bad guys, and I play along because I can’t lose her.
The Angel…
But sooner or later, Aria Brooks is going to discover that I’m the reason she’s on the run.
I’m the kingpin she’s been running from for weeks and the reason she lives in fear.
I have days to make her mine. To claim her and keep her. Before it all falls apart.
Plot: Aria saw something in the alley that she shouldn't, and she's been on the run from the mafia ever since. Matteo's been looking for her, but once he finds her, he's not about to harm her in any way. He will, however, keep her. Forever.
Commentary: I liked that Aria didn't just roll over when she found out Matteo had been keeping a secret from her. Obviously, she gave in quickly (this is only a novella and doesn't have enough space for anything else), but she didn't give in immediately. He also wasn't as pushy as I thought he would be. This was a nicely measured book in pacing, and he was so sweet i the way he supported her singing.
Also, there is this line I can't get over:
I had vending machine tacos for lunch
I have to wonder - did she mean food truck? Because if there are taco vending machines, I desperately want one.
Safe. h gets jealous when a co-worker at the bar she works at hits on the H. He wants nothing to do with her. h is treated poorly by the owner of the bat where she works and he buys it, burns it down and bulldozes it all in one night. He also took care of a creep that was bothering her before the story started. H used to be a player before he grew bored of it. Don’t know how long that has been. h is a virgin. H lies to h about everything from his name to his job. He wants her to love him before she learns the truth. Of course she learns it before he tells her. No cheating or abuse.

Aria was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now she’s being hunted by the sicilian mafia and forced to leave New York.
Matteo is the Kingpin, but is brother Gio is the acting leader rn since Matteo wants to retire. Gio is the one who dropped the ball that resulted in Aria overhearing and seeing stuff she wasn’t supposed to, and he’s asked Matteo to track her down bc none of his men have been successful.
But when he finds her, he’s an immediate goner for her. He goes all classic OTT possessive protective alpha on her. Gets her out of the shitty bar she’s working at as a singer, sweeps her off her feet and into his bed.
He’s in love with her. Only thing is, he has his identity hanging over his head and he doesn’t know how to come clean without scaring Aria away. He’s the one she’s running from after all.
h o t c l i p s:
“Daddy is going to adore that juicy pink button just like that.”
… “Nobody gets to hear what my princess sounds like when she’s taking cock.”
… “Shh, baby. I promise, you’ll get what you need.”
He presses his hand over my panties and rubs a few circles before his hand slides beneath the flimsy cotton. He glides one finger up and down my swollen lips before he slowly dips the tip into my opening.
A hot hiss erupts from him..
… At the sight of my breasts, he pants harder.
It’s as if he’s hypnotized by my tits. He groans and drops his head to suck one puffy nipple.
… His hand lands between my thighs to pet me in that possessive way I’m not sure he even knows he’s doing.
His breath feathers over my cheek, nose and mouth. “Keep those beautiful eyes on me. Daddy needs to see the moment his angel becomes a woman. The moment he claims what’s his.”
… He’s pushing and I burn, burn, burn. He kisses the panicked shriek from my lips. “I’m sorry, angel. I’m sorry. I have to…I have to. We need it.”
My next scream sears my throat.
… “Come, angel. Breakfast is getting cold. Let’s get that belly satisfied before Daddy fills you right up.”
… I’m going out of my mind just thinking about when I can bang her next and I haven’t even blown my load yet.
I feel myself thicken inside her and she squeals.
… “Just like that, Matt! Oh God, please, just like that.”
I grit my teeth and ram her harder, desperation mounting because no matter how many times we fuck, I’m ravenous.
… His hand delves beneath my dress and slides between my legs. He caresses my mound for a few seconds before he probes between my slit, zeroing in on my sopping center.
My head falls forward on a whimper, pleasure shivering through my body.
“Is this what you wanted when you were spying on me during my meeting, my naughty angel?”
“Yes,” my voice quivers out of me.
“What else did you want after Daddy got your delicious juices dripping down your leg? Tell me what your beautiful heart desires.”
“You…order me to kneel and suck your cock while you’re in your suit. Then you put me on my hands and knees and breed me.”
His untamed look intensifies. “Jesus, my love. What am I going to do with you?”
Slowly, I drop to my knees and pump his cock, my hand struggling to encircle his girth as I look up at him.
There are so many grammatical, spelling, and editing errors that it nearly ruined the book. It needs a touch-up. But the story itself moved well and I liked the characters.
