Five Mafia Captors’ Virgin: A Reverse Harem Romance (Love by Numbers Book 4)

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I’ve read a number of reverse harem books recently and think this one is one of the best. Ok, I think this author is one of the best at writing them (Snow and the Seven Men is one of my favorites). The characters are very well written, they are lovable, and you can feel how much they care about each other. As Dante, his cousins and his security men each say at some point, they are family, and Dante is the head of the family. Sophie’s relationship with each of them is special with each holding a special place in her heart. You know her feelings are reciprocated when one by one they each take Sophie out on a date to keep her occupied. They want to make her as happy as she’s made them. Then, to watch the relationship between Dante and Sophie grow, in a way you are seeing it happen from Apollo’s, Asher’s, Kane’s, and Brix’s eyes.

Dante And Sadie Find Love In A Very Unconventional Way!

This is book four in the Love by Numbers series. It is a sin-off of book three – Four Ranchers’ Bride – which is Jada’s story. This is her younger sister’s story.

Sadie Hartville, early twenties, is in her element on the catwalk. After years of hard work, she has built a successful career in modelling. Her love life hasn’t been quite so successful, though. Lately she finds herself living in a fantasy world and reading reverse harem romances. It doesn’t help matters when she learns that her older sister, Jada, has found love with four ranchers since moving up to Montana.

Dante Marcello, CEO of Marcello Inc., values family. Raised as an only child, he always felt the loss of the built-in comradery found in siblings. He hadn’t liked the way his uncles ran the family business, so he took it over as soon as he could manage, appointing his twin cousins as his seconds in command. Asher and Apollo are now as close as brothers, and they help to run the businesses – both legitimate and otherwise. Kane and Brix round out his team. They are bodyguards, but do so much more. Both take orders without question and would give their life for Dante. The mobster lifestyle is demanding, not at all conducive to relationships. Dante splits his time between Las Vegas, which is more profitable, and his hometown of Chicago. Business detains him for days at a time, so the women in his life tend to get bored. And when things get heated, he and his men risk distraction if they must all worry about their safety of their women. It had seemed very natural, then, when they began to share women. One amongst them was easier to keep happy and easier to keep safe. It suited them all and at the same time strengthened them.

When Dante first sees Sadie strutting her down the runway, he knows he is in trouble. He is drawn to her unlike any other woman before. He always gets what he wants eventually – money and persistence are powerful tools of persuasion. But he won’t risk letting Sadie get away. When she ignores his invitation to join him after the show, he orders his men to bring her to him – willing or not.

Those that read Jada’s story will recall that part of it revolves around Sadie, who goes missing. This story essentially fills in the blanks of Sadie’s disappearance. It is largely consistent with Jada’s story but has one large exception. Here, the police are not involved in a search for Sadie, though it seems unnecessary for the alteration.

Dante and Sadie find love in a very unconventional way. Dante exhibits tremendous patience with Sadie, instinctively taking a long-term approach to winning her over. Sadie is slow to trust the men in her life, but as time goes by she learns that despite her abduction, she is safe with them all. Even though she has an attachment to Dante, she embraces the men’s arrangement. The men all sense Dante’s infatuation with Sadie, and the relationship between them all deepens as a result. The group finds a happy ending. During the story, Sadie speaks to her friend Jordan from Texas, who happens to be a nanny for a circle of hot single dads. Jordan asks for some dating tips, which is the lead-in to the next book in the series.

Dante and Sadie’s story is a steamy quick read. The plot is fairly simple. There are six characters involved, so character development is spread a little thin. There are occasional errors in the writing. The story is written in first person, but it occasionally veers into third. The POV alternates mostly between Dante and Sadie, with POV’s from Apollo, Kane, Brix, and Asher in ten chapters. I rate this book 3.5 stars.

This story was a little “darker “ then the previous stories in the series but it was still and excellent read they had good deep elements and lots of sizzle!

All our men are more then you might think at first and our lady is smart and feisty!

When our heroine declines a date with our hero, he has a few trusted associates kidnap her so they can all share her.

This is a reverse harem story with a bit of mafia in it, more as a background element than a main fixture. The story is well written and easy to read with an easy to follow plot. The characters have some depth to them, particularly our heroine. I really enjoyed her character. The story was entertaining and proceeded along anticipated lines, but that was okay with me. We also got plenty of steamy scenes, which also was okay with me. Overall, it made for an entertaining weekend read.

Recommended.

Five tough men fall for her sass

This series just keeps getting better and better. Five sexy hot Mafia men end up falling for the a young woman who not only has a body, as she is a model, but also has a brain and a whole lot of spirit and sass. This book has an interesting story-line that takes a few twists but ends up in a nice place.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

They had loving committed relationship with each other.
by sewsummore

Sadie was a model walking the catwalk when she first saw Dante, he was a man that stirred her senses. Twice more she walked the catwalk and everytime she experienced that intense feeling yet again. Dante could not take his eyes off her, she became an obsession for him, he wanted her and he was a man who always got what he wanted. When she refused his invitation after the show he sent his security to her home, this time she would not be able to refuse to see him. For weeks she was held captive in his home, but he never asked from her more than she was prepared give. Over time his security became her friends and she was even able to spend time with Dante, their attraction to each other growing stronger as the time passed until the day she gave in to her desires and they made love. Dante was a Mafia Kingpin, he had been prepared to wait for as long as it took for Sadie to come to him. He was a man who had made his security his family and now she was part of it. This was a story that captivated me from the start, the relationship between Dante and his men was an unusual one, he shared everything with them, even his women. Sadie who had been a virgin before having sex with Dante was eager to experiment and the friendly relationship with his men became something much closer for all of them. Their’s was a loving committed relationship that was unusual but not illegal.

Five Mafia Captors’ Virgin shows the fierce loyalty to yourself and family. Sadie caught the eye of handsome man as she was working. He is determined to make Sadie his, she has other plans.

Sadie is true to herself and does not put up anything. She challenges Dante at every turn not giving an inch. Even when face with the press she holds her head up high and meets the head on.

Dante and her captives find her strength and willingness to not be left behind captivating.

This is another wonderful story in this series.

Wow – a compelling well written read that captivated me from the first page – a real nail-biter! The storyline is well developed, consistent, witty, funny, and flows smoothly. Amazing and well developed characters; the chemistry between them is potent and off the charts; the sex scenes are well described and steamy. Definitely recommended!

Sadie is a model working a runway fashion show when she catches the eye of Dante a mafia boss. Dante decides he wants her so he tells his guys to get her. This is an interesting story with steamy twists as Dante and his guys all want Sadie and each of them get their chance with her. All five men end out falling for Sadie and she with them. The connection between Sadie and the guys is hot. The Love By Numbers series is not only increasing in numbers but steam as well.
