Consequences, that’s how Matthew does business. Vittorio Costa took from him so Matthew is going to take what he thinks Vittorio values most, his daughter Aria. Twenty-two years old and Aria is a very protected innocent just waiting for her mafia boss father to find the right man for her to marry for daddy’s benefit. This book started out very steamy with the promise of darkness. The characters for me were not as likable as the previous ones in this series. I enjoyed the storyline and can recommend taking the time to read this book.

I loved Matthew’s absolute power that he wields over Aria.
He finds her at one of her father’s pet parties and takes her as ransom for what was taken from him. But finds a truly submissive and untouched woman. But it’s just business for him.
There are some really hot and heavy scenes in this book and I loved it!
Love me some smoldering dark romance and this newest release doesn’t disappoint. The intense chemistry between Mathew and Aria was delicious to watch as their forbidden loving takes the heat level to a new level that will leave you hot and bothered. Their romance had the right amount of drama and spicy BSDM and I enjoyed their HEA. An entertaining and must read addition to the series.
This is the sixth book in the Top Shelf series, and although the other books in this series are great reads, it is not a must to have read the others to enjoy this one. This is the story of Matthew, and Aria. When Aria’s father, screws over Matthew in business, he takes Aria in revenge. But when he lays eyes on her beauty he can’t help but be drawn to her. This was a great read, the characters are well written, and have explosive chemistry. This book kept me engaged, it was dark, twisted, intense, dramatic, emotional, passionate, and sexy.
I came late to this party. I’ve not read the other five books in this series. Very dark and demanding story. This was a page turner from the first page. Aria is a daddy’s princess and dying to get out from underneath his thumb. She’s kidnapped and shown the dark side of life. Matthew is going to give the princess a lesson she won’t forget. There is drama, passion, and punishments. Highly recommend. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A steamy read that will have you engrossed by the first chapter
Wow, you will be absorbed by Alta’s last in the Top Shelf series about Matthew and Aria. Matthew’s revenge for the theft of his artwork and diamonds by Costa is to kidnap Costa’s daughter, Aria until he gets his precious belongings back. Matthew is drawn to Aria’s submissive side and you can almost feel the sparks fly between the two! I love a strong woman character and Aria excels at being more than just a princess! Great read!
This was a mafia, kidnapping, enemies to lovers trope with a little Stockholm Syndrome & daddy issues thrown in.
The book had a good amount of sexy and steamy scenes, but even this seemed a little off and not realistic. I was hoping the plot would pick up, but it didn’t. It was cliche, felt rushed, & seemed a bit forced at times. I didn’t really feel like the H & h had a real connection. It wasn’t unique & twisted like I thought it would be. It was also a bit unbelievable that the he’s father would give in that easy after the h constantly mentions how vicious her father is. He’s supposed to be a cruel, vicious mafia boss but he caved & there was no retribution after the H kidnapped his daughter & took her virtue.
This book had a lot of potential and some readers may love it but it fell flat for me. The ending was lacking and felt rushed. Also, the relationship between the H and h was not believable.

Such a great dark romance. It’s a story that has some characters you will either love or hate. It has the twists and turns that will keep you questions what will happen next along with enough steam to have you squirming in your seat. AH really does this series well with each installment.

I enjoy these books but this one was pretty predictable. Aria and Matthew were likeable characters but their attraction was too forced.

I was beyond happy when I saw that there would be an upcoming book in the Top Shelf series for Matthew Price. He’s always seemed to be the most “normal” of the Spiked Roses owner group so I was curious as to what kind of issue would set him on a path to finding his love and life partner. Enter a mob boss, stolen property, a mafia princess and a nice amount of kink and you have a recipe for a dark and wild journey toward happily-ever-after. This, along with a nice helping of some Tennessee antics, and you have a story that does not disappoint. While this book can be read as a standalone, I totally recommend devouring the entire series if you’re interested in a delightfully dark treat.
This dark read had great character and storyline development that hooked me right from the beginning! As the pages were turned Matthew and Aria lured me right into their journey as it effortlessly unfolded!
This was a great addition to the series! Hot and kinky, sizzling romance between Matthew and Aria, and Tennessee played a great part in the story too!
I really enjoyed reading this book.
It’s the 6th in the Top Shelf series.
The story was well written and sucked me in
from page one.
The characters had loads of chemistry.
I would recommend this book to others.

I have thoroughly enjoyed theTop Shelf series and the alpha owners of Spiked Roses. Matthew and Aria’s developing relationship gave me a mild case of whiplash and not in a good way. Matthew wants his processions back from Aria’s father and will use her as leverage. While in his “care” he takes her virginity and anything else he wants. Dubious consent to begin. Aria is a sheltered, naive, mafia Dom’s daughter who knows her father will eventually “use” to solidify his position. I really didn’t like the way Matthew used her continually and punished her right off the bat with a belt. Where’s the build up? I really didn’t like him till almost the end. Aria turns out to be much stronger, resilient, and determined. I liked her a lot. Overall a fast, well paced, steamy read.

This is the sixth book in this series. Matthew Price is one if the owners of Spiked Roses, a very exclusive club. Matthew has had items stolen from him & has made a plan for retribution as a matter of showing strength. Matthew expects to be obeyed, so when Aria, daughter of the monster who wronged him, is in his path-let’s just say there are a lot of punishments involved! Aria is a Mafia princess in many ways, but these have been forced on her. If she was allowed to act on her thoughts & beliefs, her life would be much different. Matthew offers her a kind of freedom she has never experienced before. I enjoyed the characters, especially Tennessee, and the plot was engaging. The story flowed beautifully and this book is a great addition to this series.

If you didn’t get from the blurb that there are no rainbows and gumdrops happening in these pages, let me assure then that are no fucking gumdrops up in this story , but maybe a rainbow *wink* If your rainbows come with some serious dark and edgy colors, I’ve got a deliciously dangerous and epic erotic tale for you to read right here!
I don’t know what I was expecting when I jumped on this title but I’m pretty sure I got a heck of a lot more! The story isn’t just edgy, it’s anticipatory and all-in-captivating! I COULD NOT STOP READING yet I wanted to every single other page LOL It has serious whoa factor! And here’s the thing … It wasn’t all Mathew with the whoa factor. Aria was impressive! You’re gonna hate to love Mathew, and love you will, but Aria … maaaaaaaaaan, I wanna be that chic when I grow up!
Do not underestimate this story people. It will kick you in the nuts when you least expected and blow your heart into smithereens! It’s not a short story, but I managed to read it in just a couple of hours. I’m looking forward to going to the beginning of this series now that I’ve had a small taste!

Another fantastic book in the Top Shelf series! I loved it! It was a wonderful combination of naughty and nice, sweet and hot, sexy and steamy! A perfect mix for a fantastic story! Matthew and Aria were great characters with amazing chemistry! There were great together! What started out as revenge ended with a whole lot more than Matthew expected! I loved this book so much! I couldn’t put it down! If you’re looking for a dark and steamy read that will captivate you until the end then Sinners and Gin is the book for you!

Matthew set out to get revenge on a mafia guy by taking his most precious possession, his daughter Aria. Aria is a mafia princess with a mind of her own and a submissive nature. Everything is turned upside down in Matthew’s world once he meets Aria and takes her captive. Matthew brings out the dark desires that Aria has always hidden from everyone else. Aria makes Matthew want to be the one to rule her world. A great story that I recommend for anyone that likes dark, captive romance.

Sinners and Gin is the sixth book in the Top Shelf series, but could be read as a stand alone. Matthew only has one thing on his mind: revenge. Kidnapping the crime boss’ daughter was part of his plan, but liking her was not. While he wants to keep her comfortable, walking away at the end of this business transaction is a must. Right?
Ohhh this series is the decadent combination of being naughty and sweet, spicy and nice, and this book was no exception! Matthew and Aria completely captured my attention from the very beginning and even when the book was over, I didn’t feel ready to leave! Matthew is driven, demands obedience, has almost a darkness inside, but is also a gentleman at times. For as harsh as he could be, he’s also tender and it was an interesting dichotomy to read which part of his personality we might get. Aria knows she’s lived a pampered life, but she hates being in the cage of her father, and now Matthew. But I loved that even though she was pure and mostly innocent, she had a wickedness that matched Matthew’s and a desire for so much more! I loved their connection, I loved their dark and steamy scenes, and I loved the events in this book. I have to say, I felt like the ending was a little too clean and perfect, but otherwise, I am completely hooked on this series and loved this addition to the Top Shelf selection!
Aria’s mafia father cheated Matthew. Now Matthew has no qualms about holding her until her father relents. Bending her to his will is just part of it. Realizing that she is more than a spoiled mafia princess is everything. A good alpha male romance.
