What a modern twist to a Cinderella story. A mafia prince, heir to his fathers empire, meets his Cinderella. sexy, erotic with some twists and a few surprises I wasn’t expecting. I enjoyed listening to this story.
Paul D Henry is a new narrator for me. His narration was good.

Mafia Daddy by Jane Henry is a retelling of Cinderella with mild BDSM themes that I listened to on audio narrated by Paul D. Henry.
I absolutely love Jane’s books! She does an amazing job making you fall in love with her Dom’s. They are strong alpha males that have a heart of gold. I loved this twist on Cinderella.
Paul did a good job on the narration. There were a few spots I had to rewind to confirm if it was Dante or Gabriella, but that may have been the speed I was listening at. I can’t wait to find more projects that Paul has walked in. His voice was perfect for Dante.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves BDSM, Alpha Males, and Modern Day Fairytales.

Mafia meets Cinderella?! YES PLEASE!
I was sold when I saw Cinderella. I LOVE retellings. But then throw in mafia and Dante riding a motorcycle?!?! YESSSS!!!!
This was such a good book! Such a unique, darker twist on a classic love story. Not only was it unique on the take of how the story was told, but even the characters had unique names. You had Prince Charming and Cinderella in the original story, but here we had Gabriella and Dante.
The narrator did such a great job! It was funny to pull my self back for a minute and just listen to him narrate a female POV while Gabriella is getting dressed! Overall, a great story! I’m very much enjoying Jane’s books and most certainly not my last!
Have you ever been spanked by a mafioso? No, didn’t think so (and if you have please send details.) But you know you want to read about it.
This is an interesting mix of fairytale meets mafia romance. Not surprisingly You’ll want to throttle the wicked stepmother while easing the burden of Gabriella (our heart of gold Cinderella with a drive to please Daddy*) She is working night and day in the dinner her stepmother owns. Never really expecting more from life until enter Dante on his steed ok motorcycle.
Dante may have a playboy past and a domineering attitude but he is always princely with his Cinderella. And as the heir to a mafia empire his life is shrouded in secrets none more precious or alluring than his midnight trysts with Gabriella.
I would recommend this for fans of mafia romance, fairytales with a gritty bdsm twist and people in to daddy play.
*It should be noted that when I say daddy I don’t mean her actual father. Just like in the OG fairytale Gabriella’s father met his untimely end.
Mafia Daddy was a Cinderella fairy tale with a lot of modern details..
Dante is trying to get rid of some sort of rules that his father has commanded to follow. he doesn’t want to continue living this life, he feels so out of sorts and out of his element.. searching for answers he finds someone who changes his life and makes him see that everything is possible now is up to him if he will follow his heart or continue a tradition that will only make him unhappy for the rest of his life..
Gabrielle works hard to maintain a house and roof to live, she though her father left her with some sort of responsibilities that are making her very unhappy, she doesn’t know anything aside of working and fulfilling every demand her stepmother asks.. but her days living this terrible situation are almost over hopefully she will finally have the strength to leave everything behind and start a new life..
This was good listening, it was fast and entertaining, the characters where good and the story was also good.
Audiobook Review:
Mafia Daddy: A Contemporary Cinderella Fairy Tale (Billionaire Daddies, Book 2) is a newfangled version of the classic fairytale Cinderella with a erotic twist. Dante & Gabriella come from two different worlds but, with enough passion to heat up the sheets at night. Prince Charming Dante & Cinderella Gabriella entangle with the Las Vegas Mafia, a evil stepmother, evil stepsisters & a fairy godmother to get their happily ever after. Secrets revealed which tumble down along with unexpected twists sprouted through the narrative. A peerless take on a classic fairytale.
Narator Paul D Henry has a deep baritone raspy voice which fits the mafia character that is on the money. I enjoyed listening to Dante’s character. My preference is dual narration. This was told with one narator. I think it did effect the narrative as I felt the narator did not do a great job with the female voices. It was difficult to differentiate between the characters at times. However, I did enjoy listening to his voice, I just think it would have been better with better voice distinctions.

Mafia Daddy: A Contemporary Cinderella Fairy Tale
Billionaire Daddies, Book 2
By: Jane Henry
Narrated by: Paul D. Henry
I love how Jane Henry takes and twists a classic fairytale and makes it her own. The storylines and characters are interesting and well developed. Dante, next in line to take over the Mafia empire in Las Vegas and his father, the current ruler, has his future laid out for him. One evening he finds Gabriella along side the road needing help. He stops and there is an instant attraction between them. I loved the chemistry between them and how protective Dante become of her. Gabriella is a sheltered naive girl, yet Dante, did not take advantage of her. But can the next king of the mafia be her Prince Charming, can she get a fairytale ending, a happily ever after. Lots of obstacles are in the way before that happens, his family, enemies of the family and her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. Shout out to Ruby, Gabriella’s fairy god mother. This tale has it all, drama, action, twists and some hot romance with light BDSM. Thanks for another great story!
I listened to the Audible edition. Paul D. Henry does a great job narrating and telling the story. He brings the characters to life from the pages to your ears. Thank you for the great listen!
Thank you AudiobookObsession

Mafia Daddy: A Contemporary Cinderella Fairy Tale
Billionaire Daddies, Book 2
By: Jane Henry
Narrated by: Paul D. Henry
Jane Henry never ceases to amaze me with her talents. This Billionaire Daddies series with the twist on favorite fairy tales is one of my favorites. Mafia Daddy takes Cinderella to a whole new level. Dante is being groomed to take over the family business, and now is being pushed to find a wife. Gabriella is a waitress, working for her relentless stepmother. These two find a never ending passion together, but can Gabriella fit into Dante’s world? Henry has captured the essence of the fairy tale and given it a fresh, dark feel. Dante has a side that wills him to do what is necessary for the sake of business. Gabriella is an innocent, but he can’t seem to get enough of her. With secrets revealed, a ball like no other and new motivation, will Dante and Gabriella find their happily ever after? Give this book a listen to find out!
Paul D Henry narrates this gem. He has a raspy, voice the emulates the “prince”. At times it is difficult to differentiate between characters, but he gives a performance that is well worth the listen and brings this dark fairy tale to life.

Finding a bride is the easy part; keeping her safe until his family accepts her is the near-impossible task.
Mafia Daddy is an insta-love romance with a dark hero who is forced to choose between his family’s enterprises and his undeniable attraction to Gabriella, someone who is most definitely not on Dante’s father’s approved list. Gabriella quickly falls under Dante’s spell as he teaches her what their chemistry and connection can mean for them. Secrets are revealed, gunshots are fired (it is a mafia romance, after all) and true priorities are established. This is a very good love story with a terrific HEA. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
What an awesome twist on a classic fairytale. Dante is the heir to a mafia family but wants no part of it if he’s honest with himself. He finds himself on his motorcycle at night and stumbles across Gabriella working in a small restaurant. She works for her step mother and her two step sisters work there also. When Dante’s father tries to tell him he needs to chose a bride and settle down, he balks at the idea. The more he sees and talks to Gabriella, the more he wants. And it really turns him on to hear her call him Daddy. Is he really going to go with this? While he doesn’t want Gabriella pulled into his family, he can’t seem to leave her alone. Party time and secrets are revealed and decisions must be made. Will Dante want to keep Gabriella and will she want to even stay with him? I loved this book and am really hoping that Jane Henry will do more twisted versions of fairytales. You don’t want to miss this book.
A retelling of Cinderella in which the prince is a Mafia Daddy Dom. I really liked Dante; he was not happy in his role where he is forced into and when he meets Gabriella his whole life changes. Suddenly there is love and light.
I really enjoyed the secondary characters like ruby as the fairy godmother and the evil stepmother and sisters.
My feelings about gabriella are mixed. I found her a little too good and gullible.
