She’d seen one dead body too many… has to resist her attraction to Alec Malone. It should be easy, considering he’s an arrogant, bossy ass.
But oh, what an ass he has…
He never should have agreed to take her in…
Alec Malone didn’t know what he was thinking. He wasn’t attracted to damsels in distress. He had enough going on just keeping his brothers from killing each other.
She was cute. She was sweet. She was everything he wasn’t attracted to.
So then why couldn’t he stop thinking about her?
Warning: Contains one wild, crazy family, a sweet and fiery sub and an arrogant Dom about to break all the rules.

Sometimes you meet a person and you just know they’re meant to be yours. The chemistry between Alec & Mia sizzles. I enjoyed their growth throughout this story. I think the Malone brothers help Mia come out of her shell and they helped her find herself.
Alec showed Mia that sometimes you can let go and trust that the other person will never let you fall. Mia opens his eye to a world of laughter, fun, and family he had lost sight of. The Malone’s are a crazy wild and loving bunch that always have each other’s back.
This is a fantastic story, I highly recommend it
3.5
“Mastered by Malone” started off a little slower than I expected but when it kicks into gear it gets wild! Mia has been brought to the Malone family ranch to hide her until she has to testify in court about the mob killings she witnessed. Alec, eldest of the Malone brothers, agrees to hide her but he is less than thrilled about it. He’s very attracted to her so he hides from her as much as he can because he knows he isn’t worthy of the goodness he recognizes in her. Mia is struggling with more than the brutal killings she saw – she is also coping with a lifetime of tragedy. Alec and Mia certainly deserve their HEA.
The last third of the book or contains some D/s interactions between Alec and Mia, and solid emotional depth. Alec actually reveals a startling amount of information at just about the end of the book, and thereby shed a lot of information about himself and his family. The interactions with and between the Malone brothers are very funny, and each of them is a distinctly interesting character.
I don’t know if this was the first book introducing the Malone brothers, but it was interesting and had its humorous moments.
This book is specifically about Alec and Mia. Mia had a hell of a lot of trauma to deal with that was mostly untreated. I guess people were too busy trying to keep her alive to notice she had issues.
Alec had a dark past. I thought it was one thing, so I was really surprised when I found out the details of what he and some of the brothers had endured.
Then I was surprised at the unexpected action toward the end. It was over pretty quickly, but I didn’t expect it to happen at all.
I am really interested in reading the other brothers books. I read the book about Saxon, and I don’t remember them being in that one.
If BDSM, spanking, or detailed sex scenes are offensive to you, steer clear of this book. I do have to say I encountered some editing issues in this book. Extra words wrong words, etc. Still understandable, but mildly irritating.
A great story about a family of men who are a lot on the wild side. Mia enters without any warning about the way this family lives. Wow, is she in for a shock. But she is tougher than anyone realizes including herself. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the men find their woman.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

Mia and Alec are the main characters in this story. Both are strong people in their own right and as annoying as it is, they have chemistry that just pulls them together. This is a fun read.

A spicy romance.
Mia is in hiding for the federal government waiting to testify because she witnessed a mob hit but they aren’t having much luck in keeping her safe. Finally, her cousin, Mike, asks for help outside of the box. He has a friend who has family that can hopefully keep Mia safe… if they can just get to them. Alec agrees to help as payment for a favor to his cousin… but he doesn’t like it. What he really doesn’t like is his reaction to Mia when he sees her for the first time. Mia knows she has to stick it out here but she’s a mess and she knows it. Alec tries to avoid her but he finally realizes he might just be the only one who can help her through the trauma of her life. And that’s by making her his sub. The question is… will either one survive the relationship?
This is the sixth book in the Haven, Texas series and as with all the books in this series, it deals with the BDSM lifestyle and it’s many, many variations so if that’s not for you, don’t read this book.

Mia is in danger because of something she saw and now she was on the run until the people after her could be dealt with. Alec is a rancher with a dark past and isn’t thrilled to have to watch Mia but is doing so for a friend. Mia wants to feel like she is contributing something while she stays with the Malones so she starts cooking meal and cleaning up. However Alec just wants her to do nothing while she’s there. Sparks fly between them but Alec doesn’t think she is his type of woman because he is into BDSM. Mia is intrigued by Alec after learning more about his private life and wants to explore the BDSM herself. Will Alec see that Mia could be his perfect woman? Will the people after Mia succeed in getting to her?
This is an amazing story that will have you on the edge of your seat until you’re at the end. The chemistry between them is sizzling hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Mia is a witness to a murder and seeks shelter at Alec Malone’s family estate. She is fun, strong willed and is attracted to Alec. Alec lives on the ranch with his brothers, who are all quirky and complex. Alec recognizes Mia as a submissive, which Mia initially denies. Mia and Alec fight their attraction to each other but ultimately give in. It is fun to watch Mia’s interaction with the Malone brothers. I look forward to each of their stories. This is a great romance and the beginning to what I hope is a series of books on each of the Malone brothers.

Alec helps Mia with her fears but will his training be enough
I didn’t want the book to end, 10 on the Steam meter and hoping there will be books for each of Alec’s brothers! Mia witnessed a murder and is in hiding in the city until a neighbor who was wearing her raincoat is murdered. Alec is asked to keep Mia hidden on his ranch until the trial by his cousin as a payback. To say the two have a rocky start is minimizing it, yet Malone offers to train Mia as a submissive to help her deal with her fears. They are ignoring what will happen between them when Mia has to leave to testify for the trial. Yet when Mia disappears off the ranch, will Malone realize what he had? You have to read to find out and will not put the book down until you finish it in one sitting, it’s that good!
Book six in the Haven, Texas series there is suspense, drama,danger, twists, turns, a very evil man, kidnapping, murder, and a romance with a very dominate Dom. This is Mia Alcott and Alec Malone’s story. I enjoyed reading this well written story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was a great book with lots of chemistry and the characters are well developed and engaging and the storyline flowed smoothly.

OMG, these Malone brothers! Alec doesn’t have any interest in Mia, but fate has other plans. She finds more than shelter in Alec’s hands! This is the first book I have read from this author and it won’t be my last. I loved her perspective on these characters that had me laughing, and rooting for them. I am voluntarily leaving my review of this ARC.
This story is so worth the five stars I am giving it here. It is just smashingly fantastic!!! The storyline is a really good one and I think almost one of the better ones I have read lately (I read about a book pr day…) and the characters OMG fantastic, and I really hope we will get to read about more of the Malone brothers, as is said somewhere in this one, that five of them like to share? hmmm that could be an interesting story. And what about the other ones? Seven or eight brothers makes for a good number of good stories – I can´t wait for them !!! This story has a delightfully evil villain and jut plain said good characters throughout the story. Of course this is only my opinion but I really like this one, it kept me reading without pause from beginning to end and being the wuss that I am, I could have used a hanky or two a time or two …

Calamity Jane….
Calamity Jane…Kitten and Sir…Family. All of these could have been used as my title/takeaway from this story. This was so much more than just a story about Mia’s need for protection from the Mob. There’s her need to please and have a family rooted in her “relationship” with her Aunt. The D/s relationship Mia learns to have with Alec. Then there is Alec’s “relationship” with his brothers. Like I said, so much going on in one story. There were so many times I found myself wiping tears from my eyes. There was just as many times I found myself wanting to throttle Alec. All I know is that I can’t wait to see what is in store for the rest of the Malone brothers.

Mia and Alec have a hell of a story! She’s running from a mob hitman and her cousin knows just where to stash her. On the Malone Brothers ranch. It’s just outside of Haven Texas! That would be where I would want to live! The Dom’s in that area treasure each and every one of their women! All the feels in this one!! It’s a must read, especially for Laylah Roberts fans!
Mastered by Malone is the sixth book in the Haven, Texas series, but reads well as a stand alone. Mia is the only witness to her coworkers’ murders, but with a hitman after her, she knows she’s not safe. Alec has his own dark past, his own troubles now, but reluctantly allows Mia to stay at his place to keep her safe. As their attraction draws them closer together, will Alec stay focused enough and push his own emotions aside to keep Mia safe?
Ms. Roberts has done it again! She has captured my attention, emotions, and my heart fully, taken me on a wild rollercoaster ride of highs and lows with twists or drama and sharp turns of danger and I loved every single minute I spent reading this book! I didn’t want to put it down. I didn’t want it to end. I wanted so much more from Alec and Mia, yet this book had so much connection and healing and love that it just felt perfect! Alec is cold and harsh, demanding and in control, but I loved when we saw those flashes of vulnerability and protectiveness, the sweetness he felt for Mia. He was the perfect Dom for her, and I loved so much his fierceness to keep those he loved safe. Mia was this beautiful dichotomy between being so strong and scared, sweet and almost like a protective tiger, loyal and just wanting to feel loved. Her story broke my heart just as much as Alec’s, but I loved most of all the healing they found in each other’s arms. Also, seriously, Alec’s brothers are ALL AMAZING and I loved their different personalities, their ways of showing love, their banter, and their protectiveness, too! This series is definitely one of my favorites, this book may be my favorite so far, and I can not wait for more books from Ms. Roberts!
