You don’t say no to a man like him. Not even when he makes you surrender your body.If you’re forced to come to an arrangement with someone as dangerous as Jagger Calduchi, it means he’s about to take what he wants, and you’ll give it to him if you don’t want to get hurt.I got caught snooping where I didn’t belong, and Jagger made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. A week with him where his rules are … with him where his rules are the only rules, or his bought and paid for cops take me to jail.
He’s going to punish me, train me, and master me completely. When he’s used me so shamefully I blush just to think about it, maybe he’ll let me go home… or maybe he’ll decide to keep me.

Good story.
I did enjoy this book, the story was good. I felt like it was a little drawn out, with not quite as much steam as I would have liked. The story and characters were great. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Oh my. This story had so much potential. I love dark mafia romance, and I love domineering alpha males. What I don’t like is weak whiny women. Jagger Calduchi is the perfect alpha male, but sadly Lola, who started off as an independent, strong willed business woman, turned into a pathetic needy woman who couldn’t make a decision and stick with it. I wanted her to get it on with Jagger, they were good together, but in my imagination it went in a completely different direction. For the record, I’m not at all offended by spanking and bondage in a story, it can make for an interesting read, but I still wanted Lola to be somewhat defiant. I listened to the audio version and I was completely blown away by Thomas Locklear as Jagger, not too impressed with him as Lola though, not sure if it was her character or his portrayal of the character. I hope this make sense to anyone reading this review, and just to clarify, I did not dislike this story, I just thought it could have been better.
Wow. when Piper Stone writes a mafia story you can expect, danger intrigue, secrets, revenge, betrayal, and steamy sex. Jagger doesn’t want to be in the family business. While he was away in St. Maarten , circumstances arise that he and Lola are both in danger. Who can he trust? Who has a hit out in him and the Calducci family? Piper Stone doesn’t disappoint in this exciting story
Thomas Locklear is fantastic vocal performer. Wow, he really brought this story to life! Every emotion, every voice , every character was perfection! He flawlessly transitoned from one character to another. Thank you for the great listen! I was gifted the audio and offered my honest review
Hot, steamy love story about Jagger, the mafia son gone straight and Lola, who blames Jagger for her father’s death and takeover of his business. Lola agrees to play Jagger’s games in order to exact her own revenge. But the tables are turned on both of them. I hated to put the book down and hated for it to end. Excellent plot and drama. An all around great love story!
Ay Caramba!!
This story is full of plots and deeper subplots. The story is layered with intrigue, mystery, betrayal, hidden agendas, secret deals, death, violence, discipline, and incredible heat and chemistry.

When a deal is struck and she is given to him as a good faith token they share an incredible night of passion and part, but when her father betrays Miguel she is taken as his forever. Their passion ignites assassination attempts, misdirections, domination and submission, reveal old secrets and new enemies. Their lives are bound by passions dark and light and each moment is lived at full throttle with their only respite and peace found in each others arms.
Hot, sexy, thrilling, dangerous and compelling! A fantastic must read!
Interesting to see how much I decided to dislike Jagger, the younger son of a Chicago crime boss. He describes himself in ruthless, hateful terms that make me believe his evil is real. When he meets Lola, the daughter of a man he was determined to ruin, I still felt leery and hesitant that anything good would come of their liaison. He demands one week of her total submission in order to rescue her dead father’s business. Will she agree? Will it work?
Both Jagger, angry with being forced to be a part of the mob, and Lola, disillusioned with her father’s business tactics, begin to build an interaction and relationship that actually serves their needs. This story is interesting and convoluted and of course erotic. I enjoyed the read.
If you enjoy Mafia crime dramas, then you will love this story. If you like graphic, dark romances it might not satisfy you. The story is strong, the characters are interesting, but this isn’t the dark romance I was expecting. There isn’t a lot of dominating, there are a couple of scenes, but most of it happens behind closed doors and in Jagger’s thought. For me, the thing that saved this book was the very strong crime story. It was great! I also love Piper’s writing style and how well she delved into the life of a Mobster. This might not have been my favorite story by this author, but I know I will be reading more of her books.
Great story line and characters, Awesome !! Loved this book. The storyline was so interesting that it had me turning pages in anticipation of where it would lead . I was very intrigued with the characters in the story. Simply awesome . Definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read. I would recommend to others. Worth the read and the money!

Jagger is dark, mysterious and definitely a bad boy. He falls for Lola who has come back after her father passed away. Together they stumble into a dark and dangerous game. Jagger has a price on his head due to the fact he is now the head of his family. I don’t read that many mafia romance books but this one just blew me away. Will Jagger and Lola survive to be together or will he send her away to keep her safe?

Our heroine gets caught snooping around where she shouldn’t and makes a deal with the devil.
My reactions to this one are somewhat mixed. While I felt it was a good mafia romance story, I found it somewhat lacking in the dark romance department. The deal between our hero and heroine is that she will submit to him for a week, but there is very little of that interaction on screen, which was very disappointing. I felt out hero was playing the role of the tough guy, when he didn’t really want that life. On the other hand, the romance side of things was good, with strong chemistry between our couple.
The writing itself was good and the characters fairly well developed. And the story was pretty good as well, just not what I was expecting.
Recommended as a romance story, not so much for any D/S.

~The sins of their fathers~
Jagger catches Lola in a compromising position in his business offices and throws down an offer she becomes his in all ways for one week and a contract to purchase her father’s company at market value. Lola offering herself to him on a platter was something Jagger was going to take his time to enjoy very much.
Lola was once again back home to deal with her father’s sudden death and his estate. What details she uncovers upon first look and then further investigation, however, seems quite suspicious and leads her on a trail to Jagger Bishop of Bishop Enterprises, who turns out to be an old school mate…and the son of THE Chicago mafia crime boss. Unresolved issues with her father make her determined to get to the bottom of his sudden demise, and Lola has simply no choice but to give in to all of Jagger’s demands if she is to save her father’s investments and company employees. Something her body WAS willing to submit to was the sizzling attraction between them, but the message her brain was telling her was that he could NOT be trusted. Because, after all, he is who he is…and they will soon find out that spending time at his isolated getaway may not have been the best nor timeliest of ideas, as the mafia and all their enemies always have a rolling agenda.
Strong characters who have known each other since childhood. The story is well written, there is a connection between the 2 main characters that they can’t fight. Both are very likable people and there is a HEA. Wonderful read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Somehow this book, while very well written & plotted, just never grabbed me. I liked the writing, the plot, the characters but none of this really drew me into the story or the plight of Jagger (H)) the younger son of a ruthless Chicago Mafia Don & Lola (h) the only child of the man that owns a company Jagger’s father wants at any cost~~ except money.
Jagger catches Lola in a compromising situation & is able to coerce her into being his submissive for an entire week in return for purchasing her father’s company at FMV.
I think part of my detachment came as I kept waiting for Jagger to fulfill his voiced & internal intentions to dominate, control, claim Lola. Although there were a couple of intense interactions most of the D/s moments occurred ‘off stage’. Jagger seemed too enthralled & emotionally in knots over Lola to be truly dominant & he never struck me as an Alpha/dominant type.
The author did an excellent job with the mafia family politics always hovering around Jagger like a poisonous cloud, causing him to always be aware, cautious & wary & the reader had a fear of potential death for Jagger & Lola. The surroundings & secondary characters were also well done, enough to let the reader envision them but not so much as to detract from the overall story or seem like padding.
But again, somehow the characters just didn’t grab me: Lola came across as the stronger of the two, intense, driven, focused, determined while truthfully (to me) Jagger seemed too weak to dominate Lola in actuality. Everything else about him seemed right for his character, a man who didn’t want to be a mobster or in a mobster family, who dreamed of a ‘normal’ life & a family without the constant terror of assassination, but not a Dominant.
But this was a nice solid mafia romance, very light (IMO) on the dominance portion & not a very dark story at all considering it involved the mob.

An absolutely fantastic, compelling, and exciting fast pace read that is action-packed with violence, violent suspense, witty banter, humour, very erotic scenes, and intrigue. This is an on the edge of your seat page turner that is well-written with strong stubborn intriguing characters. The chemistry between the characters is intense and powerful; the sex scenes are hot, raw, and well written. A truly interesting read; definitely recommended.
