Oh DaddyGreat read。 I’ve consumed every book and this one is the best yet。 JJ is protective， fierce， dominant and sexy… oh and a gazillionaire。 Lena is bold， charming smart and sassy。 She can take and good as she gives… on every single level。

This was one hot read will with a ton of emotion， raw sex and huge complications and a really great cast of characters， we really enjoyed it。 This story is taboo and with characters with a huge age gap but， their chemistry is undeniable they try to fight it but， it is nearly impossible， and it becomes only a matter of time to see who will fold first。 We have to say we are not a shamed to admit I was rooting JJ all along， all is alpha a**holeish mannerisms。 That man was intoxicating sexy as sin a This was one hot read will with a ton of emotion， raw sex and huge complications and a really great cast of characters， we really enjoyed it。 This story is taboo and with characters with a huge age gap but， their chemistry is undeniable they try to fight it but， it is nearly impossible， and it becomes only a matter of time to see who will fold first。 We have to say we are not a shamed to admit I was rooting JJ all along， all is alpha a**holeish mannerisms。 That man was intoxicating sexy as sin and a man no matter what he says needs to be in control and needs to dominate all the time and the woman he chose well let's just say there is going to be a lot of make up sex LOL Holy hotness that man is sex on a stick！Lena was a riot， just loved her mouth， she made us laugh out loud time and time again。 Issac on the other hand nothing but， a whiny child who needed to grow up and take some responsibility for his life and actions you understood his situation and his resentment forward his father but， his constant anger got tiresome move on already。Love the dynamic of the characters and how they are together is something we love with this series。 Hope JJ and Lena get what they both want， and we hope at some point JJ can repair is relationship with his family， the only thing he can do is try。。。 。。。more

Steele breaks all barriers on this one！。 I was trying to figure out how things were going to work out between Lena and JJ and L。 Steele is genius。 Leave it to her to turn an awkward situation into something explosive and sexy。 I though my kindle was going to catch on fire。 JJ is really something。 I was not expecting the sneaky ways he got his fill of Lena。 He turned out to be such a sweet，protective yet possessive alphahole。 Reading the previous books I never thought he would turn out this way。 Steele breaks all barriers on this one！。 I was trying to figure out how things were going to work out between Lena and JJ and L。 Steele is genius。 Leave it to her to turn an awkward situation into something explosive and sexy。 I though my kindle was going to catch on fire。 JJ is really something。 I was not expecting the sneaky ways he got his fill of Lena。 He turned out to be such a sweet，protective yet possessive alphahole。 Reading the previous books I never thought he would turn out this way。 He is now one of my favorites。 I can’t wait to read Liam and Isla’s story。 。。。more

Lena & JJ go through so much to be together。 JJ opens his home to her & her boyfriend （his son）， him & her butt heads at every turn。 He gives her a job and they still go at it， that is until 1 kiss。 It changes everything。 This book is hot to the 10s if you like forbidden， age gap book。

Although this is the eighth book in this series it isn’t all about the Sovrano family， and therefore can definitely be read as a standalone story。 It tells how JJ Kane， a British mob boss， falls for his son Isaac's girlfriend Lena。 He and Isaac are estranged but when Isaac and Lena get evicted and need a place to stay they go to JJ’s estate asking for help。 JJ offers Isaac a job working for him hoping to mend their relationship， but it's Lena， who has just received her MBA， who takes the job。 Co Although this is the eighth book in this series it isn’t all about the Sovrano family， and therefore can definitely be read as a standalone story。 It tells how JJ Kane， a British mob boss， falls for his son Isaac's girlfriend Lena。 He and Isaac are estranged but when Isaac and Lena get evicted and need a place to stay they go to JJ’s estate asking for help。 JJ offers Isaac a job working for him hoping to mend their relationship， but it's Lena， who has just received her MBA， who takes the job。 Complications ensue because of the instant mutual attraction between JJ and Lena and although they both fight it， the palpable chemistry they share proves to be too hard to resist。 Lena and Isaac's relationship has always been one based on her caring for Isaac rather than one driven by passion， they got together after they lost their mutual best friend， more to comfort each other and not because of any attraction or chemistry， but even so， she still feels guilty about “cheating” on him。 Now she must decide what to do， does she tell Issac and hope he understands？ Can a relationship between her and JJ work long-term bearing in mind the difference in their ages and will she be able to bring down the icy walls JJ seems to have built around his heart？ Will their being together irrevocably damage Isaac's relationship with his father？I loved this well-written explosive age gap romance， it's fast-flowing and full of chemistry， steam， danger， angst and love。 。。。more

WOWSA！ What a hot book。 JJ and Lena， sparks are an understatement， only thing is she's with someone else。 I love the 7A get together s and how JJ fits in。 This was more of a relationship book， where we get glimpses of all the past characters and where they are in their lives。 It's interesting to watch JJ evolve in this story， from "dumbphone" to not searching to proud papa， and relationship mending。 He is a shark though， bowling， don't bet against him。 The hospital chapter was eye opening for so WOWSA！ What a hot book。 JJ and Lena， sparks are an understatement， only thing is she's with someone else。 I love the 7A get together s and how JJ fits in。 This was more of a relationship book， where we get glimpses of all the past characters and where they are in their lives。 It's interesting to watch JJ evolve in this story， from "dumbphone" to not searching to proud papa， and relationship mending。 He is a shark though， bowling， don't bet against him。 The hospital chapter was eye opening for some characters， and then the sauna scene was HOT。 "When I'm with you"， and "stay with me"， those are really nice sentiments。 I ABSOLUTELY loved this book。 I voluntarily reviewed this book。 。。。more

I need a cold shower！ 🔥🥵🔥L。 Steele has written another steamy mafia romance。 It was great to read a book from her that didn't have anyone being kidnapped or shot。 The tabooness of the book is fantastic。 Isaac's a douche canoe and I can't believe a strong woman like Lena would stay with him as long as she did。 From the first time JJ and Lena meet their chemistry is palpable and when they finally give into their desires for one another they can't keep their hands to themselves。 The steamy scenes a I need a cold shower！ 🔥🥵🔥L。 Steele has written another steamy mafia romance。 It was great to read a book from her that didn't have anyone being kidnapped or shot。 The tabooness of the book is fantastic。 Isaac's a douche canoe and I can't believe a strong woman like Lena would stay with him as long as she did。 From the first time JJ and Lena meet their chemistry is palpable and when they finally give into their desires for one another they can't keep their hands to themselves。 The steamy scenes are so hot， the sauna scene！ 🥵 It's not all about the steam though， there are sweet and enduring moments too。 It was great to see Michael and Karma （Michael and the readers finally get told what health issues Karma is having） and Sinclair and Summer。 We also get a sneak peek at The Proposal which is Liam and Isla’s book。 I didn't think anyone could top Mossimo in swoon worthy speeches but then JJ came along！"I’d pluck the moon and the stars for her if she were to ask me。" ❤"I want you in my corner。 I want to be your backup。 Without you， my days were long and lonely， but you burst into my life like a shooting star— all sparkly， and bright， and with so much to give。 You dazzled me… You still dazzle me。 You’re what turns my dreams of tomorrow into a reality I can’t wait to discover with you。 Be mine。 Stay with me， in my house， in my bed， in my heart， my soul。 In every single fiber of my being。 Be the mother of my children。 Be my North Star… and my south， and my west， and my east。" 🥰"You made it possible for me to dream， to hope， to open my eyes to possibilities。 By just being who you are， you changed me。 And it was sudden， but it was also so real， so natural。 So much a part of me 。 I saw you and realized my life as I knew it was over， and for the better。 I met you and knew I belonged with you。" 🥲I am leaving my honest review for a complimentary copy of this book from the author。 。。。more

Lena and Isaac were evicted because he couldn’t keep a job since he is a painter。 JJ his father said that they could move in if he went to work for him in the company。 Isaac refused so Lena said that she would do it and Isaac would paint paintings for the office。 She antagonized him until she went to work for JJ then they kissed things changed。 Lena and Isaac were having problems before they moved in。 Good book！

3。5 stars—MAFIA LUST is the ninth instalment in L。 Steele’s contemporary， adult ARRANGED MARRIAGE erotic， romance series， a series interconnected with the author’s Bad Boy Billionaires。 This is forty-nine year old， billionaire owner of the Kane organized crime syndicate Jack ‘JJ’ Kane， and twenty-three year old， executive assistant Lena Richards’ story line。 MAFIA LUST can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order including the Bad Boy Billionair 3。5 stars—MAFIA LUST is the ninth instalment in L。 Steele’s contemporary， adult ARRANGED MARRIAGE erotic， romance series， a series interconnected with the author’s Bad Boy Billionaires。 This is forty-nine year old， billionaire owner of the Kane organized crime syndicate Jack ‘JJ’ Kane， and twenty-three year old， executive assistant Lena Richards’ story line。 MAFIA LUST can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order including the Bad Boy Billionaires series as the premise makes several references to， and many of the aforementioned Bad Boy Billionaires’ characters play second and supporting roles。WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise， there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including spanking， bondage and MFM sexual situations。Told from three first person perspectives （JJ， Lena， Isaac） MAFIA LUST follows the age-gap ， forbidden romance between forty-nine year old， billionaire owner of Kane Company and head of the organized crime syndicate Jack ‘JJ’ Kane， and twenty-three year old， executive assistant Lena Richards。 Twenty-three year old， Lena Richards and her boyfriend Isaac Kane are currently homeless， without employment， and are about to move in with Isaac’s billionaire father JJ， but Isaac and JJ have a dysfunctional relationship， a relationship that is about to push our story line heroine between father and son。 When Isaac refuses to work for his father’s corporation， JJ offers the executive assistant position to Lena Richards， a position that places Lena up close and personal with her boyfriend’s father。 Disappearing for days and hours at a time， Isaac， working for his father as a corporate photographer， begins work on a series of pictures， once again， pushing our heroine towards the man with whom she will fall in love。 What ensues is the building relationship between Lena and JJ， as Lena’s relationship with Isaac begins to implode。Meanwhile， JJ Kane is working with the group known as 7A Investments （Bad Boy Billionaires） in an effort to open an exclusive club for men， work that will open up a new line of friendship for Lena， with the wives and significant others of his billionaire partners。The relationship between Lena and JJ is a forbidden， age-gap romance in which our heroine battles between head and heart knowing her attraction to JJ is a betrayal to Isaac but Isaac and Lena’s relationship is tepid at best， and in an effort to remain in Lena’s life， Isaac agrees to a night he will never forget。 The $ex scenes are erotic， passionate and intense。There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including most of the couples and billionaires from the Bad Boy Billionaires series， as well as the current Arranged Marriage series。MAFIA LUST is a story of passion and obsession， dysfunctional family dynamics， acceptance， forgiveness and love。 The premise is entertaining; the romance is provocative-there is some slight ‘daddy kink’; the characters are charismatic yet often immature -Lena and Isaac’s attitudes were childish and stubborn。 。。。more

I thought the Sovranos were extreme， but this mobster JJ Kane turned out awesome！ Trapped with Isaac in a relationship that doesn't satisfy her at all， Lena is forced to make decisions and take on responsibilities that were not conducive to her well-being。 Down on their luck and in need， they turn to Isaac's father for help。 To her surprise， Lena finds that JJ not only challenges her mentally and emotionally， but that she no longer belongs to herself。 And not only are her emotions no longer hers I thought the Sovranos were extreme， but this mobster JJ Kane turned out awesome！ Trapped with Isaac in a relationship that doesn't satisfy her at all， Lena is forced to make decisions and take on responsibilities that were not conducive to her well-being。 Down on their luck and in need， they turn to Isaac's father for help。 To her surprise， Lena finds that JJ not only challenges her mentally and emotionally， but that she no longer belongs to herself。 And not only are her emotions no longer hers， but JJ makes her feel protected and truly desired。 Something that she had been missing for a long time。 Many mixed feelings are present！ The twist of the story took me by surprise， and I couldn't stop reading with the great curiosity that caught me。 Isaac's internal struggle and his insight into the family conflict， JJ's doubts， the way Lena's character dealt with the gap that had been present for years and the decisions made left me open-mouthed thinking for a while。 Congratulations to the author。 Nothing common and a plot totally unexpected for me。 I liked the progress with Karma and that there are still more characters to attend to。 Suspense， strong emotions， and a lot of heated passion in this age-gap forbidden romance。 Enjoyed this story！ 。。。more

If you've read Steele's Big Bad Billionare Series （The Seven） or her Mafia: Arranged Marriage Series （The Sovrano Brothers） you will be familiar with the H in ths story， JJ Kane。 JJ is the bridge between the Sovrano's and the Seven。 You don't have to read the other books to read this one， but I highly recommend it because it will help you understand the dynamics between all the characters。 Fans of the other books will love this one because it brings many of the characters back together in one bo If you've read Steele's Big Bad Billionare Series （The Seven） or her Mafia: Arranged Marriage Series （The Sovrano Brothers） you will be familiar with the H in ths story， JJ Kane。 JJ is the bridge between the Sovrano's and the Seven。 You don't have to read the other books to read this one， but I highly recommend it because it will help you understand the dynamics between all the characters。 Fans of the other books will love this one because it brings many of the characters back together in one book。From the synopsis， you know this story involves a romance between a father， JJ Kane， and his son's girlfriend （Lena）。 Though JJ has appeared in several of Steele's other books， we knew very little about him。 Steele has peeled back his layers in this one and gives us a complex and complicated character that you will love。JJ and his son （Isaac） have an estranged relationship， but circumstances force Isaac and his girlfriend to move in with his father temporarily。 Sparks fly between JJ and Lena， though they fight it。 Initially there are battles， but Lena doesnt cower， she's a fighter and it's not long before the sparks of anger or irritation turn to something else。Lena is no pushover and she has morals。 She speaks up and fights for what she believes is right， even if it means fighting her own desires。 Her relationship with Isaac， isn't the best and hasn't been for a while。 There are reasons they got together in the first place， which are also the reasons why things are falling apart。 She's dealing with her crumbling relationship with Isaac and the attraction she has for his father。 She understands it's reciprocated， but feels guilt knowing that it would not only hurt Isaac， but destroy any chance of a father/son reconciliation。Steele always manages to push the envelope with each book。 Just when you think she can't get anymore shocking， she outdoes herself with something even more shocking。 This story is no different。 We get a menage between Father， Son and the h; but rather than a sordid affair or even a finale where the h ends up with both， Steele manages to turn it into a beautiful， one-time farewell， a healing event where Isaac realizes and accepts that he and Lena were never right for each other， that his father truly cares for her and that she is perfect for him。 She makes his father a better man and as a result， true reconciliation begins with father and son。I love Steele's books; she never fails to entertain and titillate！ Looking forward to Liam's story next！ 。。。more
