“She’s yours now.”With those three words, my boss gives me a gift: permission to kidnap and keep the woman I’ve wanted for years.Ever since we were teenagers, I’ve denied my desire for Sofia. Despite her father’s involvement in running our cocaine empire, Caesar Hernández has carefully sheltered her from the brutal realities of our world. She’s always been far too innocent and pure for me to drag … too innocent and pure for me to drag her out of her charmed life and into my depravities.
But Caesar chose to betray my ruthless boss. He’ll have to prove his loyalty once again if he doesn’t want any harm to come to his beloved daughter. I have her now, and he’s well aware of my sadistic proclivities.
I tried to save her from this, but I can’t fight my savage nature when Sofia is in my home and under my command. She’ll learn to obey me unquestioningly if she wants to earn any of her freedoms back. Sofia’s going to be my good girl, fulfilling all the dark fantasies I’ve suppressed for years.
I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my pretty hostage. If anyone tries to steal her from me, I’ll start a war to protect my most precious possession.
Sofia is mine, and I’ll never let her go.

Perverse lust? Maybe. Being the enforcer for a drug lord, Mateo, was in contact with those that help make and distribute their product. The feelings? That is how Mateo felt for 5 years as he watched Sofia. Ensuring she kept her innocence, fantasizing that one day he would own her, control her, dominate her.
His wish came true one day when her father backstabbed Mateo’s employer. In order to keep him in check, Sofia was given to Mateo. The author gives you a darkly sensual look in to Mateo’s mind throughout. Very hotly descriptive fantasies run amok through his mind crumbles more with his savage lust of her.
Sophia had also lusted after Mateo, however this is one of those captive/captor and captured by an alpha male who enjoys BDSM hoping for an HEA. Writing leans heavenly on the younger generation, especially with the amount of innocence she surrounds herself in being, honestly, oblivious to all of the underworld machinations going on around her.
Really does well paralleling Adrian’s storyline and moving onto Stefano’s in the next book.
Nope. As cheer on writer’s in attempting to present interesting, informative and or entertaining literature. This doesn’t meet the mark
Good read if you like cruel men but not to their love ones
A magnificent romance !
His boss, Adrián Rodriguez, orders Mateo to tie the hostage firmly to a chair.
But the hostage is Sofia, the daughter of a dangerous mobster.
And Sofia is much more…
Mateo doesn’t know if he ’s going to be able to resist.
He holds her there, very close, so close…

Finally ! The story of Mateo and Sofia !
I found with pleasure this intriguing, discret and mysterious couple, discovered in a previous novel by the author.
This time Mateo and Sofia are the main characters in a magnificent romance.
The writing of author Julia Sykes is stunning, emotionally addicting and effective.
It keeps you going until the last page.
I loved !
Magnificent !
I liked the characters. Good storyline
I wasn’t sure about this book at first. I’m not really into the S&M type stories. This story has way more than just kink. It develops the relationship between the two characters and for them to learn about each other instead of just the attraction they’ve always had. It really was good. Made me go back and read the other books on the series.
Very entertaining read
Stefano and Carmen are enemies from separate cartel families. Stefano is obsessed with Carmen and makes her his prisoner when he takes over her organization. This is such a delicious and dark read, I loved it and the other books in this series!
Intense with rough men and their tender side. Alpha men are the theme and 5he women that tam3 them
If you like dark romance, you’ll really like this! You’ve got a strong, protective, dominant hero/anti-hero, and a sassy heroine. He may have been her kidnapper, but that doesn’t keep him from taking care of her and protecting her! It was an interesting story!
Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish this book…
I wanted to read it because of it’s intriguing blurb. If there’s something I really like – it’s a tough, big, dangerous alpha man – who has intense feelings for the heroine from the start.
And although Mateo was a hot Alpha, just the way I like them – he was a bit (too much) of a creeper…
” , .

Mateo works for a dangerous man and does his dirty work. He hurts and kills… but not with Sofia – he was always attracted to her innocence.
When Sofia’s father gets in trouble with Mateo’s boss, they kidnap her to teach her father a lesson, but instead of letting her go, his boss tells him to keep her…
The woman he wanted so much became his, and there was no way he would ever let her go.
“ . ’ .”
And from there, everything was just messy and full of contrasts;
He brings her drugged to his house (but snuggles behind her in bed while she was unconscious)… He declares he will do as he pleases with her (but doesn’t want to ruin her innocence, so he’s nice and gentle with her)… He wants her under him, above him, all over him (but only when she consent)… He wants her to feel comfortable with him (but informs her that from now on, she has no privacy)…
” , .”
Wait, WHAT THE F…?!
“ ,” , – .
“’ ,” . “ ’ . ’ – .”
“ .”
Gee, I was scared to turn the page and find out he was feeding her like a toddler!!!
After I stopped reading, I realized that it is a stand-alone, but there was also a previous book, about Mateo’s boss, which probably gives essential information about this story.
So even though I didn’t like it, the writing was good, so I’ll definitely read another one by this author, soon.
