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.

The great character and storyline development hooked me right from the very beginning and the instant chemistry between Miles and Rose kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book! I was so invested in this story that I read this book in one sitting!
Rose never imagined how her life would turn out. When she give to Miles as gift she’s terrified about what’s happening. She soon learns Miles and her share a connection they cannot define and that’s what saves them both.

Short, Sweet, & Simple!! Rose and Miles immediately fall for one another. They automatically have some serious chemistry. SPARK FLY! It’s a fast read but a good one!!
Oh la la, what a dirty little read we have here. We have the big tough guy, and the tiny little barley legal girl who will light up your e-reader. There was nothing that I did not like about this book and at the end of the story, when he said ” Forever and ever” I wanted to say Amen, lol…
Great reading for this snowy day!

Instant chemistry is not what you would expect when you are brought in a sweet little lady named Rose wrapped only in a red bow, as a gift for payment owing by a seeding criminal named Drake.
Rose stands in utter fear of her surroundings unsure how she finds herself in a basement being dragged into a room with a man mountain just starring at me like he wants to devour me.
What happened why is Rose standing terrified of everyone around her except the one man that should scare her the most. Miles the man she has been gifted to.
I thoughly enjoyed this novella. Plenty of passion chemistry and enough darkness that keeps you captivated.
A deliciously hot dirty sexy novella! It was perfection,
It a little dark and twisted but in the best possible way.
J.L. Beck & C. Hallman are a duo to be reckoned with in the book world. Every book I’ve read written by these two has had me on the edge of my seat, laughing, crying, yelling and falling hard for the characters and this is no exception.
Love this amazing short love story of Miles and Rose
Intense emotional beautiful heart stopping love story ready for more
This fascinating romantic novella has a somewhat dark undertone & it firmly grabbed my attention within the first few pages. I found the plot to be quite intriguing with some unexpected situations/events. The characters are well-developed with good chemistry & opposing personalities that actually complement each other.
There is: a despicable man (Drake) owes a gangster (Miles) quite a large sum of money & decides to give Miles a beautiful & innocent gift-wrapped naked young woman (Rose) who does not have a clue about what is happening to her, a manipulative foster family, intrigue, drama, twists & turns, rivalry, fear, attraction, protectiveness, determination, jealousy, insecurities, confrontations, abduction, threats, vulnerability, retaliation, injuries, some steam, happiness, contentment & a delightful epilogue.
The moment she wanders into his view he knows he has to save her from the uncertain situation she has landed herself in. The look of panic on her face tells him everything he needs to know, she needs him, needs to be loved, and he wants to be the man to give her that and more.
What lies between the pages of this novella is certain to make you blush, and touch your heart. Watching total alpha Miles crumble under Rose’s touch was not only captivating, but good on the heart too. They were brought together under shady pretenses, but it was evident that belonged with one another all along. This insta-love tale comes brimming with all the good stuff to steam over your tablet screen and squeeze the heart in all the right places! Highly recommend!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
I liked how they each filled a need and an empty place in each other’s souls. Dark or not, love is love and not to be denied. I loved Miles and Rose together. Melting! Just in time to heat up your Valentine’s Day.
I enjoyed this OTT quick read romance. Miles and Rose were really very sweet together. Sure their initial meeting was far from typical or romantic but once the story begins to unfurl and you get to know the characters it all takes on a bit of cuteness. You really had to feel for Rose and I loved seeing big, tough, alpha Miles be totally broadsided by his instant feelings for this small slip of a woman. Of course there is plenty of steam and sizzle along the way.
A quick steamy read that will leave you wanting more. Miles falls hard for his unexpected gift Rose and what fallows next is danger and heat. If you love mafia romance with insta love than this is for you.
His Gift was a sweet love story. Drake owes Miles for a debt so he offers Rose as a gift. Miles sees her and gets possessive. Feeling loved and being wanted is definitely something we can all relate to. This was a quick, fast paced, insta love romance with a bit of drama and suspense with wonderful characters.
