I cant believe this was Willows debut. It reads so well. Nothing amateur about this, its simply amazing.
Loved every minute of it. Couldn’t put it down and highly recommend it.
If the rest of the Valetti series is anything like book one it’s going to be incredible. This is a great book.
Of course, we all know how its gonna end. But I did enjoy the roughness of this book.
OMG Dirty Dom was definitely was 100% dirty and delight to read and meet them. Willow was at her best with them. I can’t wait to see them more through series.
Dirty Dom is my first book by Willow Winters and not sure why I have waited so long to read this mafia romance. This book had me intrigued and captivated by the end of the prologue. Their story is gritty, dirty, passionate and will have you smoldering from the heat and the steam that radiates from Dom and Becca. If you like your men dominate and oozing bad boy then Dirty Dom is the one for you. Becca is a good girl and a single mum who stumbles into the world of the mob due to her late husband. The attraction is fast paced and dangerous but oh so worth the risk. The push and pull from Dom and Becca will at times frustrate you but it is also what will have you on the edge of your seat and not wanting to put this one down.
I gave this story 4.5 stars because, it is a great story, however I felt the beginning just didn’t work for me. It seemed like the story was rushed, to short and should have explained the abuse Becca suffered in her marriage more in detail. Great potential.
Becca is beautiful, strong, a business owner, a mother and a very recent widow. Her husband was an abusive, liar, cheater and bad gambler. Becca was in the process of divorcing him when he passed away. Her husband had already lost so much and was trying to take even more in the divorce. Becca learns her husband owes a lot of money to a bookie , so she goes to pay off the debt. When Becca arrives, she meet’s Dom.
Dom \ Dominic is Hot as hell, smart, a bad boy, arrogant, use to getting what he wants and son of a Mafia Boss. Dom is also a bookie.
Becca hates being here, but wants to pay these people and move on, but when she see’s Dom, she can’t believe how sexy he is. She knows he is bad, but its like an instant attraction. Dom not knowing the whole story, thinks Becca is short on the money and owes interest. He wants sex as payment. Becca is so distraught with her husbands death and the way he left her with his debts, her business, everything is just overwhelming and she gives Dom what he wants, she needs this and even if he is bad, she needs the touch she has not had in so long. Dom is very domineering and she likes it. They both feel this crazy attraction and Dom wants her now even if he doesn’t know her. They have sex that both of them won’t soon forget. Becca leaves upset and can’t believe she just had sex with this bad boy, sexy stranger. Dom can’t stop thinking about Becca. The next person shows up and Dom doesn’t hesitate to kill him for his actions. Dom has to learn everything about Becca, he cant get her out of his mind. When Dom learns her story, he has to make up for the way he treated her. What he doesn’t realize is that he is being watched by his Mafia families enemies. Dom goes to Becca’s home to apologize and make things right and hopes for more sex. Becca can’t believe he’s there and says she wants him to leave, but they have sex again. She likes his dominant sex , and even though he demands and takes, she loves it and hasn’t had anything like it. Dom has a tenderness about him. And loves how he calls her Doll. All Dom can think about is his Doll. He is a man that doesn’t do relationships and romance but there is something about his Doll that he can’t get enough of or get her off his mind. Dom doesn’t realize that he was followed and he has put his Doll in danger.
Becca goes to her restaurant to work and is kidnapped in the parking lot. Becca is beaten badly. Becca tries to stay strong and hopes she can stay strong enough to make it through this because of her son. Her kidnapper videos her and its sent to Dom’s family. When Dom finds out he demands all the info and the find out who took his Doll, so they can rescue her and make them pay. Dom makes sure her son is safe and is taken to his mothers.
Knowing it’s a setup, he still storms in to rescue Becca. She’s alive, but beaten badly. The kidnapper’s escape while Becca is rescued. He takes her to his families home and has a Dr. Treat her. He takes care of her and demands she stay there were she can be safe and protected. He promises her he will make them pay and he will make sure her and her son are safe. The family and their men take care of their enemy\ Becca’s kidnapper’s. Dom realizes he loves his Doll. After everything Becca knows she loves Dom but she can’t raise her son in this lifestyle. Dom is hurt by her words and actions, but he understands. Dom’s father realizes his son loves Becca and gives him a way out. Technically he is only the bookie. He goes to his Doll , they confess their love and promises of a new beginning with him as a Professor. It’s not the end as this is part of a series. I can’t wait to read more of this Mafia family’s story! Willow Winter’s is an amazing author who knows her bad boys! Love the hot steamy sex, the bad boy Dom and the spin Willow Winter’s gives for a Mafia bad boy. Book had a lot of feels and loved the sex scenes. I hate the rating, but want to be honest. I have read more by W Winter’s and she is a very talented author! Yes I would recommend this book. I can’t wait to read more from this series and Willow Winter’s!
Oh my god what a fantastic book, if you really like a Dominant Alpha male that has a soft & sweet side, then Dom is your man
Loved the storyline in the book and characters…really got into the story could not put it down. Cried in a few parts but lived the book…
OKAY, this book sucked ass, 2 stars!
I honestly almost DNF’d this damn book because it was sooooo fucking boring and had nothing but fucking 2 mafia related scenes and 40 million sex scenes which I typically don’t mind but with this book, it was just a NO.
Please explain to me how does two people fall in love with just having sex. This is not a typical romance and erotica should not mix with mafia romance because a mafia romance needs plot. Therefore the book gotten boring fast, I’m surprised I didn’t DNF the book myself. I would not recommend reading this book if you love mafia romances plus this was written years ago so I know this is not Willow Winters greatest work.
I’m still debating on continuing with the series….
The concept of bad boy Dom changing his ways for the right girl is perfect. Throwing in the mafia element added to the dynamic as well as Becca’s 3-year old son Jax. They each have responsibilities that must be addressed in order to be together.
What I didn’t care for is how determined Becca is to protect and care for Jax that she keeps resisting a relationship with Dom. And yet, she refuses to seek counseling for her mental health. Not that the love and support of a good man can’t be a cure-all, but Becca’s character has some serious issues that should be addressed by a professional. Not to be preachy but, I think a mention in the epilogue would have been appropriate to help de-stigmatize mental health care.
I enjoyed this mafia romance by Willow Winters, the story of Dom and Becca. It was a bit on the dark romance side but not pitch black. The author did include some violent scenes (kidnapping with physical violence, shootings) but nothing that had me running for cover. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t care for nick-names like “Doll.” So, when I read that and some of the other ways Dom acted, I felt his personality was a tad stereotyped, a typical egotistical “ladies man.” Love ‘em and leave ‘em. However, I really did like him and how he grew throughout the book into a very honorable and caring man.
I liked how independent Becca was, but it was obvious she was very much a Type A personality who didn’t know how to take care of herself. Perfect stroke candidate. She was ultra-focused on everything on her plate, and they were important things: running a restaurant business, single parenting her 3-year-old son, cleaning up the legal and financial mess her deceased husband left behind. So, when she suddenly responded to Dom sexually in a very atypical way (for her), she was shocked and struggled to recognize this was something she needed even if it didn’t come in the package she would have wanted. Becca battled with her anxieties and fears about this through most of the book. I thought her struggle was a little too drawn out. I was getting a little weary of it, but then a solution neither Dom nor she thought was possible appeared and resolution was achieved. I truly liked the way the story ended.
This was a good story that kept me entertained. The author wrote some very sizzling hot scenes between the two MCs (right out of the gate, zero to 90, within 5 minutes of meeting they were banging!). I will go on and read the rest of the series because I liked the author’s writing, and I enjoyed meeting the other members of Dom’s family whose books are coming up next. 4 Stars.
While I know little to nothing about the mob, the only real flaw I found with this novel is how two dimensional the mafia characters seemed, including the main male character Dom. If you can suspend disbelief, the rest of the book is quite enjoyable.
I’d be interested in reading the rest of the series just to see Ms Willows grow as a writer.
18+ for steamy love scenes and the trainload of f bombs dropped.
I honestly thought I was starting a book with a BDSM feel, but was completely thrown by surprise. There’s still quite a bit of steam to keep you satisfied, so don’t you worry! Mafia romance is one of my favorite sub-genre’s to read and this story had a fair amount of danger and intrigue to keep you involved, but was a little difficult to follow the prologue. Just stick with the story and you’ll see.
Dirty Dom: Dom and Becca
This book starts out with an absolute bang right from chapter 1. We see Becca whose husband has passed away owed a certain someone a lot of money and she was making it right by paying off her late husband‘s debt.
Instant attraction happens between Becca and Dom and sparks fly.
“I needed to be held and feel like I was loved. This shattering in my chest, jagged pieces of glass digging into my heart, it wasn’t worth it. It hurts too much. The worst part of it is that a very large part of me wants, no needs, to crawl back to him and beg him to hold me again. Just one more time.”
So as much as this book start out with a bang in the very first chapter I feel like the main lead falls quite flat. This is not what I would consider an alpha male. He’s all over the place. In fact, the two MCs are a hot mess.
This book was difficult to get through – not because it was an emotional read but because it just didn’t hold my interest. It actually took me months of just painfully reading chapter by chapter because it was so ridiculous. I stopped reading for a weeks after a chapter or two.
The buildup was … not there. Non existent.
Don’t get me wrong!!!
I absolutely love Willow Winters!!
I own every single one of her books in hardback/paperback, I collect all her different book covers, and I get her monthly book boxes that she has so I’m definitely a huge fan of hers but this series is not a series I could give five stars for. At all. Her other writing is far more like-able.
If you are new to Willow Winters DO NOT start out with this series because I feel like it doesn’t reflect her writing at all. I wouldn’t want anyone assuming this is her best writing. My opinion of course.
Having read probably at least 15ish of her books prior to reading the series, I was shocked that Willow Winters even wrote this. The writing is so completely different compared to her Merciless series.
Go read her Merciless series first if you’re new to her. You will fall in love with her writing and her world building. Shes truly a phenomenal writer.
This jumped right into the action from the get-go. I didn’t quite get what was going on at first and it made me feel like I had caught the series halfway or something. Bad start but gradually got better. Worth a read if you can stick it through until the end.
I couldn’t put this down! Read it in just over a day and then had to buy the next and the next… I read them all in a week! Loved them so much!!
This was a good read! It was a dark romance, but in my opinion, not too dark. It is not really a story of “redemption” per se for the hero, which I appreciate. The hero made his choices, good and bad, but overall he wanted to do good for the heroine and her son. I really liked the epilogue and how things turned out for them in the future.
At times it seemed predictable and a little too charming but overall it was good and raunchy.
This was definitely steamy!! I was not sure I would like it with the mob connection, but I couldn’t put it down. It had some twists that were not expected. It was a good read!
Characters weren’t completely memorable
I love the fantasy of mafia men protecting their wives from all
