Summary

In an ironic twist of fate, I’ve found myself entangled in Dante Salvato's world。 The ruthless mafia king is no stranger to violence; but when he lays his eyes on my bruised and battered face, he’s furious。 I thought my makeup was thick enough to cover the beating I suffered until my inappropriately flirtatious boss noticed。 As a cocktail waitress in his casino, I’ve always been on Mr。 Salvato’s radar, but now he’s obsessed, demanding to know who hurt me and why, intent on making them suffer。 When Dante discovers that my boyfriend Mitch not only owes money to another vicious Vegas mobster but is also cheating on me, he offers him one hell of a deal – Dante will pay off Mitch’s debt in exchange for the one thing he wants more than anything – me。 Dante’s offer requires me to spend the next seventy-six days and nights with him, one for every thousand dollars of Mitch’s debt。 When I refuse, Dante promises to kill Mitch right then and there for being the one ultimately responsible for my bruises。 Desperate to avoid bloodshed even after I’ve seen the evidence of Mitch’s betrayal, I reluctantly accept Dante’s deal with one stipulation。 I warn the arrogant bastard that I will never, under any circumstance, sleep with him。 Now I just have to resist the mob boss for seventy-six days and nights while he uses every weapon in his arsenal to try and change my mind。

Good Twist 4 ½ stars。 - Vanessa’s elusiveness is a challenge to Dante but Vanessa isn’t playing a game to entice Dante。 She has all the reasons in the world tobe under the radar。 She mostly succeeded until the day she had to pay for the stupidity of her loser boyfriend。 Dante wasn’t happy with Vanessa’s bruises and he used the situation to get Vanessa under his roof。 Steamy scenes follow。 Complications arose。 Danger keeps cropping up。 This is an entertaining story with some violence。 I received Good Twist 4 ½ stars。 - Vanessa’s elusiveness is a challenge to Dante but Vanessa isn’t playing a game to entice Dante。 She has all the reasons in the world tobe under the radar。 She mostly succeeded until the day she had to pay for the stupidity of her loser boyfriend。 Dante wasn’t happy with Vanessa’s bruises and he used the situation to get Vanessa under his roof。 Steamy scenes follow。 Complications arose。 Danger keeps cropping up。 This is an entertaining story with some violence。 I received an advanced copy and voluntarily chose to review it。 。。。more

Great new mafia series with loads of drama, suspense and steam。 When Dante, a mafia king of Las Vegas discovers Vanessa, a waitress he is attracted to with bruises he wants answers。 When he learns that her boyfriend owes someone money, he is happy to help with certain conditions。 Will Vanessa agree? Fast-paced read with sizzling chemistry。 I was hooked from beginning to end。 I loved it。

Danee

There is a lot in the story of Dante and Vanessa。 There is tension between strong alpha men and tough heroines。 The further you get into their story, the more twists and turns you experience with them。 The chemistry and attraction was clearly palpable between them and you lived with them step by step and also the insight into their relationship。 Not to mention the hot and steamy scenes and some triggers。I received an Advance Reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review。

If you dance with the Devil prepare to Sin! Savage Little Games os the first installment in Lane Hart's Sin City Mafua Series and can be read as standalone。 I had never read mafia genre from this author and I was happily surprised! A slow burn, different from the usual and very much enticing, with lots of anticipation and as much resistance, a pendulum between desire, want, wills and internal conflict as contasting feelings。 Dante had his eyes set for some time on the woman waitressing in his casino, the only one that wouldn't give him the time of the day, that simply wouldn't care。 A challenge to the man used to have everything at his feet? Certainly。 Her beauty, fierceness and blase attitude were like a rubik cube, twisting here and there and he wasn't near to direct her attention。 Vanessa worked at the casino and dealt every single day with powerful men, those above and beyond, those you treated with education as well as polite distance if you wanted to keep your heart and mind intact。 I loved the premise of the story and it was to expect some kind of manipulation on Dante's part to get what he wanted。 And he did。。。just not the way he thought or how much of an adversity Vanessa would pose。 She warned him。。。。。。Energetic, funny and immensely decadent in its intimate moments, the tale flowed to the pace of advances and setbacks with Dante's ensnarement, a great deal of banterlust, familial rebellion and turf attacks for usurpation。 It's a big book with ingenious detail where it matters, twists and turns and the utmost revelation that certainly changes things and adresses the past as much。 Their entanglement did come as did their last battle for supremacy and reign supreme。 For now, Vegas undeground runs steady, smoothly and serene, but a Letter came in the mail。。。。。。Great narrative, great protagonists, great secondaries and a lot more to uncover!Really excited for the next one! 。。。more

I'm not going to lie this surprised me, it took me a bit to get into but glad I powered through because that twist I did not see at all! Vanessa stuck it through in not being an easy mark for Dante, who always had it easy when it came to women。 It was nice to see them form a proper relationship with each other, before officially sealing the deal iyk what I mean。 Very interested in book 2 because Lachlan though only there for a few lines has me super intrigued。 I'm not going to lie this surprised me, it took me a bit to get into but glad I powered through because that twist I did not see at all!

This book is a definite must read。 Mafia, danger, dark, adventure, thrilling and really good。 Lane really did an outstanding job telling this story。

The premise of this book is an indecent proposal between Dante, a mob boss and casino owner and Vanessa, one of his cocktail waitresses。 Dante is a dominant alpha-hole male who is a pretty bad man and used to getting his way, while Vanessa is powerful in her own right and has a spark that clashes with the version of a woman that Dante is used to and maybe thinks he prefers。 He finds out quickly that’s not true。The story is fast-paced and a lot of fun。 Dante is pretty abhorrent in the beginning o The premise of this book is an indecent proposal between Dante, a mob boss and casino owner and Vanessa, one of his cocktail waitresses。 Dante is a dominant alpha-hole male who is a pretty bad man and used to getting his way, while Vanessa is powerful in her own right and has a spark that clashes with the version of a woman that Dante is used to and maybe thinks he prefers。 He finds out quickly that’s not true。The story is fast-paced and a lot of fun。 Dante is pretty abhorrent in the beginning of the book due mostly to the ultimatum that he gives Vanessa but the sexual harassment in the workplace doesn’t help。 I guess that it’s acceptable though because everyone is afraid of him。 Vanessa is a likable and sympathetic character。 I loved her attitude。 She doesn’t let Dante give her any sh*t。 And it turns out Dante is a gentleman when it comes to the sexual nature of their relationship, well except for the pretty brutal sexual punishment in the middle of the book that does not seem warranted。 Some people will enjoy this and that’s ok! It just seemed pretty uncharacteristic of him based on his treatment of Vanessa during the rest of the book。 I did also find it surprising that Vanessa just took it based on her character。 While Dante’s behavior is on and off acceptable, a question you ask throughout the book is why did Vanessa hate Dante before the ultimatum? Could it really just be based on the propositions he makes while she’s working? I didn’t think so and we soon find out that there is more to it。There was a little bit of action and less suspense in areas where those moments could have been exploited but there was also a surprising plot twist that I thought made up for that。 I did want to read more about the week that Vanessa spends with her dad because that seemed pretty significant。 And it is a big surprise when we find Kozlov in the basement。 I actually went back to make sure I didn’t skip any pages。 He is a major enemy so I would have liked to know how that comes about。 I think that these and other events at the end of the book felt a bit rushed and glossed over。 This could have been avoided by making the book a bit longer。 I especially would have liked it if more time was spent on the culminating event。 But it was overall a very satisfying book。 And the plot twist at the end of the book! This is why I like to read a series after it is finished!!。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Let the games begin! I found myself absolutely captivated by this tantalizing and seductive read。 The chemistry between Dante and Vanessa was lush and the attraction sultry and quite honestly, I simply wanted to roll around and luxuriate in it! Their story is complex and rich with tension, emotion, heat, drama, action and intensity that was pure decadent deliciousness。

SAVAGE LITTLE GAMES is full of spice and suspense。 This is not for the faint hearted and as such was a real page turner for me。 Between the protective/possessive Dante, feisty Vanessa, “never-a-dull-moment” plot, and creative mafia punishments, I really loved the book and would read the next one in the series in a heartbeat。I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily。

This book was textually well written and the grammar itch never bothered me。All of the pieces of the book are here, but the reader spends a fair amount of time plugging holes (ie, which business are they in? what's with the immediate acceptance? what is this family dynamic? where's this nickname from?)The facts are all there, but it's tough to try to see if you missed something blatant。So, a good story - kind of a rough read。I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this revie This book was textually well written and the grammar itch never bothered me。All of the pieces of the book are here, but the reader spends a fair amount of time plugging holes (ie, which business are they in? what's with the immediate acceptance? what is this family dynamic? where's this nickname from?)The facts are all there, but it's tough to try to see if you missed something blatant。So, a good story - kind of a rough read。I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily。 。。。more
