Bethany Shelton is a physical therapist that is at the wrong place at the wrong time. Overhearing the sales clerk refer to her as “Doc”, mobster Matteo Visconti kidnaps and threatens Beth to “doctor” his gunshot wound, and in return, he would most likely not kill her. During a feverish recovery, Beth and Matteo have a night of passion that has a consequence of making Beth a permanent fixture in the Visconti family…or for however long they wish to keep her alive.
Stitch was well written, and an enjoyable naughty story with enough kink to satisfy those with a fetish for the tie me up and spank me hard. The story-line moves swiftly and sometimes this reader got a little confused with Matteo’s Jekyll & Hyde personality towards Beth, but he is the heir to a crime lord’s throne, so it is to be expected. Stitch is a tale of a good girl falling for a bad guy and there is a price to be paid by all. This is a standalone story with no cliffhanger, and has somewhat of a happily ever after ending, or at least as HEA a murdering drug dealer can have.
I would recommend this to lovers of Mafia/BDSM stories. While the “Godfather” genre is not my usual read, I enjoyed the author’s writing and will most likely check out her other stories.
I am not a big fan of mob stories but this one won me over.
Matteo is in a convenience store when he hears the clerk calling Beth, Doc, so he takes her with him, kidnapping her to take a bullet out of his shoulder. Beth isn’t really a doctor but she must do her best or die. Matteo gets an infection and it’s bad so he needs more help than Beth can provide. While Matteo is lucid, Beth explains that he needs more help than she is capable of giving him, so he gets his cell phone and calls his father, the Dom. This involves Beth with the Mob and they will take her life rather than take a chance that she might talk.
The time Beth spent with Matteo left Beth with a permanent reminder of the Mob connection she had with him but her life is still at risk.
Matteo is a real tough guy that takes whatever he wants and he wants Beth, but the family business isn’t so forgiving and he must live with his decision to let his father and brother deal with Beth. I must say, I wasn’t too happy with Matteo’s handling of Beth and there were no sweet actions or talk between them. Beth is more afraid of Matteo and his family than anything but I feel she at least held them with respect. I don’t consider this a love story until we get to the end of the book, so be warned if your thinking the lady tames the bad boy, this is nothing like that at all. I did enjoy the story, I am used to reading dark stories, but I will stick to my aversion to Mob books, they really aren’t my cup of tea.
