by Helen Allan

I was his doll, his toy, his plaything. He was my everything. ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ I shake my head as I consider the man seated next to me while I sit on the cold leather seat and do up my shirt. When he handed me his handkerchief, I'd looked at him, really looked. I saw a dangerous man, but one also not entirely without heart. Clearly my master had known this. His ploy to drown me in the whisky had been contingent upon knowing this man would save me. Smart. It’s been a long time since I’ve come across such a person. It’s a shame he’s going to end up the same way they all do. I’m almost, almost tempted to answer the question he’d asked earlier, but I know it’s just the liquor making my tongue loose. If I want to keep it, my tongue that is, I will say nothing, because it there’s one thing I do know, with surety, it’s that my master will find me and punish me. There’s no escape from him. Everyone knows that. If I disobey him, betray him, there will be a great deal worse than a bottle of whisky waiting for me when he gets me back. Much, much worse. ‘ No. I can’t say anything. Can’t warn him. Probably better the beautiful thug doesn’t know what’s coming.’

The H spends a week screwing an OW in front of the h. Non stop. Passionate. Animalistic. Kinktastic. Insatiable. FOR A WEEK. The h witnesses all of it.

I just skimmed to the end to see how he manages to have sex with a 6 in tall woman 🤡🤡….

⚠️SPOILER ALERT⚠️

(She gets some magic and becomes normal sized around 80%)



This book is just as silly as the premise makes it sound.


The writing was pretty engaging, I will admit.

But the content was a mess. 😂😂



⚠️SAFETY SQUAD SPOILERS⚠️

- no cheating or sharing

- No dubcon between the MCs - the h is subjected to unwanted touching and nudity by OP

- OW drama - the H has a girlfriend who he has passionate sex with many times in front of the h - this takes place before the MCs admit they have feelings for each other, but AFTER the H has acknowledged that he’s sexually attracted to the h 🥴

- no OM drama

- no condoms

- h is a virgin

- H is a manwhore

- h is molested and abused by OM

- H flies into a rage and breaks the h’s bones while she’s still 6 inches tall

This is not your standard romance. Mixture of mafia action movie with romantic fantasy. The heroine, who was reduced to pocket size as a child, has been that way for almost the entire story. Barbie only grew 90% of the book and their first sex with the hero was there. Then she became 6 inches again, but our hero went after her and also became 6 inches for her as a result, they both were made a normal size and they lived happily ever after!😀

What a unique and special premise! This book takes the Thumbelina story and adds a mafia spin to it–while keeping the paranormal aspect (she’s truly tiny!)
While touted as dark romance, the book itself isn’t quite dark, and reads more like a romantic suspense.
I loved Lina as a protagonist. She reminds me of that Shakespeare quote 'Though She Be But Little She Is Fierce'. She tough, despite being tiny enough to curl up in someone’s pocket, and she’s the perfect match for the handsome mafioso Tomas.
I truly enjoyed this book, and I look forward to reading more by the author!

The book I didn’t know I needed!

When someone suggested this book, I was sold. It was so good and I loved the ending. I devoured it in a day. 💗

This was much better than I was expecting. A Dark Romanace Thumbelina retelling?
Were the mafia aspects cliche? Absolutely.
Was the dialogue strange and choppy? Yep.
Was I strangely mesmorised and needing to compete the book anyway?
Yes, yes I was.

It is if you want something the same but different, this was a bit of strange fun.
