She was brought to me as a gift. Completely naked besides a shiny red bow that was wrapped around her slender middle. The moment I laid eyes on her… I wanted her. Every single inch of her body and every dark corner of her mind. I wanted it all. I craved her like a drug and one I never planned to quit. She was scared of me, no wonder considering my reputation. Big fat tears rolled down her … reputation.
Big fat tears rolled down her beautiful face and her whole body shook like a leaf.
She didn’t know then though, that I would never hurt her.
That I would crush anybody who ever caused her harm.
She’s mine now… mine to cherish, mine to protect, mine to love.
And a gift I never plan to give up.
If Instalove is your thing then you’ll love this book! It’s short, and sweet with just a sprinkle of darkness on top. As always, it comes with a happily ever after.

His Gift by J.L. Beck – It’s an instalove novella which you either instantly love or roll your eyes at. I’m an eye roller, but it was still pretty cute! Happy Reading!
Another great one by these two ladies, even for a novella. Although short, it was still dark, hot, fun and more. These ladies know how to write a good story no matter the depth.

Miles And Rose’s Dark Story Is A Quick Read With A Taste Of Danger, Violence, And Desire
When Drake comes up short on the money he owes him, Miles is presented with a gift. The young and innocent-looking girl, naked and wrapped in a bow, attracts him like a siren. He feels an immediate connection and an overwhelming urge to protect her and to claim her as his.
Rose doesn’t remember how she came to be in the basement of a strip club with Drake passing her off like a prize. Miles is handsome, rugged, and terrifyingly big, but when she is alone with him she feels safe for the first time in her life. He asks her to trust him, but trust doesn’t come easily.
Miles and Rose’s dark story is a quick read with a taste of danger, violence, and desire. Miles is tamed by Rose’s innocence and inexperience, but at the same time he can’t look weak in front of his men. The couple gets their happy ending.
The story is nicely written. It is plot-driven. The plot is fairly simple but packs a lot of action and steam given the length. It is written in first person. The POV alternates between Miles and Rose. I rate this book 3.5 stars.

Our heroine is given as a gift to cover a debt. Our hero knows instantly that he intends to keep this gift safe.
This is a novella length instant romance with some dark elements, but not a lot. The big thing here is the instant attraction between our couple and the path they take to ensure their HEA. The characters are well developed and I found I really liked both of them. Their chemistry is immediate and apparent. The story is well written and easy to read, which makes the entire thing a pleasure to read.
Highly recommended.

This is a well written action-packed quick read novella which is Miles and Rose’s story. I was hooked and intrigued throughout, and I highly recommend for all.
Another brilliant book from this great duo of writers. This is a short book but it’s packed full of delicious darkness and sweet moments. The two main characters appear to be complete opposites, yet they end up with such a fierce chemistry.

***** I got this book for free in exchange for an honest review. *****
Miles and Rose had an instalove story. She was naked and wrapped in a bow around her midsection and was presented as a gift to Miles. As soon as Miles seen her he was protective of her and wanted her and all she was was confused and scared.
He is normally a tough scary man but around her he melts and becomes kind and gentle. She becomes a strong character. I like how when they become closer they become better people in general. This is a great novella and I hope other people see that.
4.5 – Dark, dirty, and delectable may not seem like words that belong together but, trust me, when it comes to this story, they are perfect. Rose and Miles have an instant connection that they will fight to keep. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This book is about a Mob boss named Miles who goes to another man to collect payment for a debt owed to him and instead Miles take a young girl named Rose as payment or so this man with the debt thinks. But Miles has an instant connection to Rose and wants to protect her. Rose has been through a lot in her short 18yrs of life being in foster care and then being sold to this pimp that Miles wants payment from. Rose is very scared of what’s going on but you see where she starts to relax around Miles and she starts to realise he’s not going to hurt her. Miles swares to protect her. Tou You don’t want to miss this cute sexy story.This was a shorter story but I loved it all the same. This was a nice read for Valentine’s Day. You definitely should read this book you wont be disappointed
A Gift that he is definitely not returning
His Gift is an interesting insta-love dark story that was engaging. It is about Rose and Miles. She is a naive young woman who was raised in foster care and all of a sudden finds herself as a gift/payment to Miles. She has been given to him by Drake in what he thinks will be payment for a debt that he owes Miles. Miles will definitely take Rose but unfortunately for Drake he is not going to take her as payment. It seems Miles has instantly fallen for Rose and all he wants to do is protect her and he is determined to never let her go.
Miles is a criminal and hard man with a reputation that proceeds him. He owns and runs a strip club, has an underground gambling game and other things. This is how Drake got into debt with him that he cannot pay off.
What happens between Miles and Rose is lovely and steamy. She is so frightened and he does not want to scare her any more than she already is. He is going to make sure that she is never scared again and that no one will ever do anything to her again. His big bad possessive and protective Alpha has come out full force but he is also very gentle with Rose. Rose cannot imagine how anything good could happen after finding herself in this position. But she eventually lets Miles start to take care of her and then some cute and steamy chemistry hits her also.
Even though this novella does start a bit dark, after all she is given as a payment of a debt without knowing what was happening, it also is lighter than the authors normal stories. So in the end this Valentines story is romantic, sexy, filled with emotion and a whole lot of hot and steamy sexy scenes. This was a great book and one that I would recommend if you already like these authors or if you are okay with a bit of darkness mixed with your Valentines Day hearts and flowers.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A fantastic, steamy, and entertaining fast pace romance. The grabbing story line is well written, well developed, engaging, and an on the edge of your seat read. So much happened in this quick read; there is drama, action, kidnapping, and more. The characters you will love; even though the first meeting is unconventional, their chemistry is instant, undeniable, and off the charts. Definitely recommend!

For some reason, I totally missed the part of the guy being involved in shady business when I first heard of this novella. LOL. Rose and Miles were insta-love and super cute, considering the circumstances. Miles was the exact bad boy this story needed. Angry, possessive, loving and adorable at the same time. He’s not to be messed with and his choices throughout the story prove that. Rose is a cute buttercup that winds up in this dark world and I felt for the girl! I enjoyed the quick development of Rose and Miles love story. Short, snappy and romantic as hell for a dark romance hehe. It was an easy and fun read, an entertaining page turner!
When Rose is given to Miles as payment he automatically gets fiercely protective of her which is something he’s not use to feeling but all he knows is that he will move heaven and earth to keep her safe from the things that go bump in the night, even though he’s one of those things. This is a insta love story that was on the slightly dark side
II loved this book the characters are great and have enough chemistry to keep the storyline flowing from beginning to the end. Insta loved written at its best.

The first thing I have to say is that I love this cover. Great job girls.
His Gift is an instant love story with a mafia-type vibe. Miles and Rose are pushed together but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true love. Miles will do anything to keep Rose. But Rose is more than okay with that.
His Gift is the Valentine read you will want to read!
