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.

My heart broke for Rose because her life is not an easy one. She’s sold to a man to cover someone else’s debt. Miles feels an instant connection to the woman who was easily given to him. He will claim her as his own and protect her at all costs.
I loved the overprotective alpha in Miles and the sweet and innocent Rose who steals his heart. His Gift is short and shows a different way a couple can come together and find a life neither ever imagined.

This is a novella that is a insta love story that will draw you in and have you reading until the very end in one sitting. This is the story of Mike and Rose. Mike is dark and has a criminal career. Rose is young and innocent with a past that is really really rough. However when she is giving to Mike as a gift she has no idea how she got there or what happened for her to be given as a gift to a man that she is afraid of. You have to read to figure out what has happened and what all is going on. I loved this story. I loved that it was a dark romance too. You don’t want to miss this book. It is amazing.

Steamy, short ready
They say don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Miles definitely does not do that. When he is gifted Rose she is his to keep. They definitely dont meet under the best circumstances , Rose is a broken girl while Miles is a tough mafia leader.
If you like an Alpha male, a girl who needs him then this is the book for you.
Rose is presented as a gift, instead of money owed.
It was a dark romance with a HEA in a fast pace. I was captured from the beginning even as the characters felt a little naive.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book
Miles encounters Rose when someone who owes him a debt uses her as payment. She’s scared, alone and has no one that cares for her. Her foster family is questionable so she starts to think of Miles and his home as a safe haven. Most women wouldn’t tolerate a man obsessed and calling you “ALL HIS” and no one else is allowed to look or touch, but in a book it’s romantic and swoon worthy. There’s a dark factor to this book that made my heart race, and steamy sex that was quite exciting. If you have a couple of hours and a dark insta-love book sounds like it’s right up your alley, I definitely recommend this story that has a guaranteed HEA!! Enjoy!!
A quick and tasty novella to keep you hot and bothered over the valentines period.
I want to say its hearts and flowers, but it’s not it grit, violence and a love like no other.
I enjoyed this fast paced romance. Cupid certainly gave her to the right man that for sure.
They may be opposites but they were both two incomplete souls desperate for something to fill their hearts.
Violence, blood and death only satisfied him to a point, whilst she didnt have the luxury to find out what she wanted or needed. She was in survival mode.
I love it fast and furious and this was most definitely that! delicious!
Miles and Rose are complete opposites but they are perfect for each other. I loved how protective Miles was over Rose yet dominant at the same time. This is a quick steamy novella but it is packed with everything I have grown to love from this amazing author duo.
This is a short dark read that still mangers
to have a decent plot to it.
Miles and Rose had instant attraction to each other.
There’s definitely plenty of steam and action going on
that kept me glued.

It was a decent and gritty novella. OTT hero and an innocent heroine. we got a little extra here because it had some action and a few bad guys here. I enjoyed this and would love to read more novellas from this duo again.

This was a great novella. Miles owns a casino and is one bad dude that you don’t want to anger. A man owes him money for a gambling debt. Instead of paying all of the debt, he offers Miles a gift. Behold is a petite, beautiful woman, completely nude, with a big red bow around her chest. Her name is Rose and she is very afraid and timid. She is also a virgin. Miles accepts Rose as payment for the mans debt pending the man hasn’t done anything to hurt her. Miles immediately takes a liking to Rose and promises no one will ever hurt her including himself. She has never been shown love and envelopes it. But as soon as everything is good, it is not. The bottom falls out and it is time for Rose to find out if Miles’s feelings were true. This novella is a must read and I highly recommend.
Dark read
First, if you aren’t interested in “dark” stories, pass this one by. There are several triggers in this one. Rose has a lot of insecurities. Mainly her need for affection. After everything she’s been thru, she just wants to be wanted. Miles….well let’s just say that his feelings for Rose may be his only saving grace. While I enjoyed this story by a new author to me, it’s not going to be for everyone.

An excellent short quick read. Miles at his club is expecting his money from someone who owes him. A gift is brought along with some of the money but that’s enough for Miles to know what’s his. Rose is scared of what will happen but someone comes calling as Rose belongs to him. Some good characters and story line.
Another great story from this fantastic writing duo. Loved Miles and Rose. Rose came to him as a gift for a debt that was owed but he saw her as much more than that. The chemistry and attraction between them was so intense and really good. Loved this story and I can’t wait to read more from this duo.

What a great gift both Miles and Rose received. What was supposed to be a payment, turned into so much more. There’s some darkness and violence but amongst that is the love that Miles has for Rose and the lengths he will go to in order to protect her.

3.5 Stars – A pretty decent short story. Miles was the ideal jealous/possessive hero, very protective and ready to die for his woman. There was also some action and intrigue along with the romance.
