Being born into slavery, I never thought my owner, my very mother, would sell me. And she didn’t.
Until Matteo.
I was tormented, struggling to come to terms with my new life then he narrowed it down to two things.
Pleasure. Pain.
The man confused me at every turn with his unexpected and unattainable desires.
If only he’d speak to me.
If only he’d tell me how to avoid upsetting him.
If only I could please him.
**Disclaimer: This is a DARK erotic Italian Mafia story. There are twisted behaviors in this book not everyone will be able to handle. Explicit, violent, and sexual scenes are involved. Not for the wary of heart.**
Review by: Leeann
OK, so first up I have to say this book probably will not appeal to everyone. It is dark, there is violence and lots of it. There is rape. The abuse is actually quite horrific and is bother phtdicsl and mental. If you don't like to read that sort of thing then I would recommend you bypass this particular book.
Now to the review..
Imagine being born to a woman who abused you daily until you were 20 years old and treated you as a slave for that whole time.. then she sold you off as a slave to an unknown man. Yeah I couldn't imagine it either but that is what happens to Gia.
She has no idea what is going on or what to expect but she learns very quickly that life with her mother was much easier than life with her new owner.
Matteo is part of an Italian Mafia family and he is one messed up man, if you want to call him a man that is. He does what is required of him but doesn't count on Falling in love with his latest slave.
Unfortunately him being in love with her is not enough to save Gia, he still abuses her and allows others to do the same.
This book is one that even though the topic is horrific you still, want to read it till the end to see what becomes of Gia.
It is a short book so it doesn't take long to get to the end. The authors writing is good and the story does flow seamlessly.
This is not story for the faint hearted. It is not about a dominant and submissive relationship, it is simply about a man that bought himself a slave to do with as he sees fit, and he does just that.
If you like stories on the darker side than you will probably enjoy this book, but if you don't I suggest you give it a miss.

A shiver ran through me. I was chained up in his basement. I’d never been restrained in such a way before. Madam never resorted to such means since she knew I never would’ve run. I had no desire to live free of enslavement. It was all I knew and all I wanted. However, feeling the cool breeze in the room and the even colder restraints on my skin made me wonder if maybe I had thought wrong all along.
“I can see from the look on your face that you’ve never been locked up before, and I see that’s where Madam went wrong with you. No, you didn’t want to escape, but you don’t know how to behave. No, you don’t truly know the extent to which a punishment can go. Don’t worry, that is going to change starting now. This will throw a wrench in my initial plans for you, but I refuse to let you go now. You are mine and will be forever, so get used to the idea.” Matteo leaned against the wall in front of me, sliding his hands into his pockets as if we were carrying on a completely normal conversation. He appeared entirely at ease while I struggled with all the new emotions flooding me. After a moment of staring at me, he pushed off the wall and stood close enough I could feel his body heat.
He reached down to pull his erection from his dress slacks. Sliding his hand over it slowly, he dragged the tip over my mouth.
“Suck it. Get me off and I’ll leave you alone for the remainder of the night. Fail to do so and I will start your punishment now,” he said as he shoved the hot, hard, musky flesh into my mouth.
I wanted to cry out that I thought the lashings from the belt had been my punishment. Instead, I sucked him down my throat and bobbed my head along his length the way he’d shown me he liked it done. The longer I sucked, the more my lips became numb and the more I realized that I really had no idea what being a slave was like.
Finally, he groaned and his release filled my mouth and throat before he pulled back. As he tucked himself into his pants again he yanked my hair so I was forced to look him in the eye.
“Welcome to the Italian Mafia way of life, bella.”
Mother by day. Writer by night. I spend a majority of my day with my children and reading while my nights are filled with the sound of the keyboard as I work on my next work.
I have written in nearly every LBGT category as well as the traditional erotic romance category.
I love to try new things and learn from every piece of work I write. I'll write just about anything once to learn from it. I've even ventured out of my normal erotica genre into Monster Erotica. Doubt you'll find me writing anything not erotic as you can barely get me to even read something out of that category, but then again, you never know what I might try next.
Never stop learning. Try everything at least once.
Thank you for the great review and being a part of the tour!
