Love Marlee Wray’s writing! This story is dynamic and hot. I have the other two books in this mafia series waiting in my Kindle. I hope to delve into them very soon.

This book is steamy and a wonderfully dark romance that held my attention throughout. The author has written a great story with great characters.

Our heroine has attracted the attention of a very bad man and he plans to make her his.
This is a rather intense dark romance with the mafia and strong elements of D/S and spankings. The story is well written and easy to read, but there are several twists and turns to the story that keep it interesting. There is also a lot of steam, including some rather intense scenes, which will probably lose some folks that want everything to be safe and sane. Personally, I enjoyed the interacts and the development of the relationships. Both characters were strong so it definitely became a contest to see who was going to break. I’ll leave it to the reader to guess that one.
Highly recommended.

A good mafia story. It is your typical mafia story with a war between crews and a woman in the middle. I liked the way Conner treated Zoe until the end. I was disappointed in the way Conner insisted she be initiated through a hazing like event with the crew. It felt very college rush week. Overall is was a good read.
This is my first read by Marlee and I am really impressed. She wrote a story that pulled me in from the first chapter and kept me enthralled until the end. I loved how Zoe is so strong willed, she is the perfect match for Connor. Trick and Anvil are interesting characters as well, I would love to see their stories written.
The plot flowed beautifully, it had just the right amount of action, steam, and suspense. There is spanking and some other BDSM activities, so if those are triggers for you please tread lightly. Otherwise, do take a chance on this interesting spin of mafia romance.

C Crue is a new gang that has taken over part of the former realm of Frank Palermo. Zoe is a young woman who has been friends with Palermo’s daughter for years. Somehow, Connor believes Zoe has aided others to steal from his Crue. It takes only a short time before Connor tends to believe that she is telling the truth, but now she must stay with him for her own protection.
This is an extremely hot, erotically stimulating story that caught me easily and kept me reading until the very end.
This is a compelling read that stays interesting to the end! I loved this Mafia romance so hard that I didn’t want it to end. Zoe is an easy-to-like character with an awful taste in friends, but I do hope someone can save Rachel too. The C Crue were bad guys with new age morals for gangsters. I also loved those guys too. The intrigue and drama of the story draw you in, but the sexual tension makes you glad to stay through the end. I continue to get blown away by the dramatic storytelling that Marlee Wray exhibits in all of the books that I’ve binge read so far!
This is a Dark Mafia story with some spanking and power exchange, so I think it has some elements of BDSM, but I would not say that it is a BDSM story exactly. It is a great example of a Dark Mafia story though and i recommend it highly.
There is a stand-alone sequel to Held, called Pursued.
Loved this book! *running to read the next one*
