Tied to a family tradition he longs to escape, Nico longs for his own life. Sondra is a breath of fresh air that he can’t resist. Loved this book and the story line.
This story is off the charts. Nico and Sondra are fantastic characters. I got hooked in to this story really fast. Nick is a book boyfriend and she is a sweetheart. Their journey is filled with plenty of interesting things. The writing and flow of this book is remarkable. I absolutely recommend this book.
Not a big fan of mafia tales, but this one was not too bad. Although Nick was a bit aggressive, it seemed to be just what Sondra wanted. There was a twist in the story that made it all the more interesting.
A fast paced, intense, erotic tale. It is a standalone. You get the HEA, and it leaves you with questions and the anticipation of finding out about what happens with some of the other characters in the book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
“The Voice of Wrong” leads to love…4.5
After she discovers her cheating ex-boyfriend, Sondra Simonson leaves him to make a new start in Las Vegas while staying with her cousin, Corey. Although she’s an art professor, the only job open is a position in housekeeping at The Bellissimo Hotel and Casino where Corey works as a dealer.
Everything about the hotel screams mafia and corruption, but that doesn’t deter Sondra. She admits her morbid fascination with anything mafioso. I had to chuckle as she mentions binge-watching all the “Soprano” episodes. But reality hits when she’s looking down a barrel of a gun pointed right at her head. Sondra is unexpectedly left to clean the penthouse suites and is startled by Nico Tacone, owner of The Bellissimo Hotel.
Nico is running on fumes with very little sleep and trying to keep on top of the demands of his hotel. When he stumbles upon the gorgeous blond, he assumes she’s spying for the Feds or a rival family. No way is a girl-next-door beauty like Sondra part of the housekeeping staff. But the misunderstanding is soon cleared and Nico is determined to learn more about Sondra.
The author gives us an entertaining and sexy story as Nico and Sondra’s relationship blossoms. She helps him with his insomnia and Nico discovers Sondra is a willing submissive to his strong sexual demands. A bit of spanking and dirty talk. But can Sondra forgive Nico with what he’s hiding? Will Nico prove he’s just another heartbreaker?
King of Diamonds is the book 1 in the Vegas Underground series, and I can’t wait to read the next book.
So very yummy! I can’t say enough praise about every single book Renee Rose writes. Her writing is amazing no matter which book you pick up. I just happen to like the
Mafia.
One of my favorite series! Got to love abkinky alpha male!
I love that Sondro is an art historian. She works as a maid until she can get a better job. Nico and Sondro are attracted to each other. She is hesitant because if her bad luck in men. Nico is afraid to draw her into his world It us filled with steamy scenes and some danger.
This story is definitely 24 carat. This hot story of Mafia Boss Nico Tacone will startle you with its intensity and lay your heart open to beat hotly. This story held a lot of hard meaning. Intense sensual moments that could curl your toes. And a HEA that will leave you breathless. Yet again the talented pen of Renee Rose rules again with this sparkling diamond.
Wow! The heat factor of this novel is boiling over. Intense. Passionate. Possessive. The main male character is almost broody in his demeanor but is very kind and considerate of the main female character. The main female character `just is`. She is loving and caring, a highly educated woman, yet oddly naive. The path to a relationship for these two main characters is certainly turbulent. The characterizations of all players are well defined. There is drama, violence and strained patriarchal relations. There are sizzling sensual scenes throughout this tale. This story is very gritty, even brutal in some places. The story reads well and moves along at a good pace. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this novel even though I tend to not care for mafia-type romances. Well don Ms. Rose! 🙂
This is a fast paced, sexy read with plenty of heat. Nico and Sondra have amazing chemistry that practically melts the pages. I read it from the beginning until the end. I couldn’t put it down until I was finished. I would definitely recommend this steamy, hot read.
