I had a chance, once, to play the good girl. I could’ve kept my mouth shut and stayed out of the line of fire. Had I done that, more people might’ve been hurt. So, I came forward and subsequently, I lost everything I’d ever loved.
I lost my family.
I lost my home.
I lost my identity.
I lost … them.
But now they’re back. At least, I think they are. I can feel their eyes watching my every … can feel their eyes watching my every movement, stalking me. They aren’t here to threaten me or to hurt me. They’re here to protect me. To watch over me. Because to them, I’m everything they desire.
I am their love.
I am their hate.
I am their infatuation.
Their sweet possession.
How long can they stand to stay in the shadows when a new danger threatens to tear us apart again?

I loved this book so much, I read the whole thing in one sitting. It’s fast pace, suspenseful, and sexy, with a touch of darkness.
It’s a perfect combination of some of my favorite tropes: Stalker
Mafia
Reverse Harem
This book was ok. I enjoyed the beginning but as the book went on I didn’t continue to enjoy it as much. In the end only one of the love interests really had a personality and it was undesirable. Overall not a terrible book, it was entertaining but I don’t currently think I will be continuing to read the series.
Mixed feelings on this.
This starts with America having to go into witness protection after she testified against her father. It ment though she had to leave behind the 3 men she had been seeing.
The guys however are not willing to let her go and manage to track her down. Ian, Archer and Jenson are all very different but as a read this I knew that all of them together were perfect for her.
The book went through bits where I couldn’t put it down but at other parts I was having to push myself to keep reading.
I loved the ending that I believe is giving a look into the next book. Overall i did like the book just some parts that I enjoyed more than others.
Enjoyed the world building and these very well written characters. Plenty of steam to keep the pages turning… Really liked the story of these three protectors and their “doll” … looking forward to more in this world, well done!
Holly shit! That was fucking intense. Those guys were fucking intense, especially Ian. They’re so demanding and possessive, with their alpha, over the top attitude. It was hot as fuck. But they definitely found their match. Mare is a fucking force to be reckoned with. She’s a spitfire. Sassy, strong-minded and has more balls than most men she encountered. The dynamics of their relationship was addicting, and it left me breathless. Fuck, I love to see commanding men with a bratty but strong woman. The plot was amazing, with drama, blood, mystery, steam, I wouldn’t change a thing. The ending left me at the edge of my seat, and I can’t fucking wait to know more about this mysterious thief
Stalkers and RH? Yes Please!
5 stars!
They liked watching me, and I liked being watched.
Holy smokes was this RH read GOOD! Right of the bat you’re left feeling the suspense. It instantly grabs you and has you wanting more. I mean it’s that simple to explain it.
America was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Because of that, she tried to right her fathers wrongs, which ultimately led her to have to go into witness protection, leaving the only life she knew behind and her men. And her men? Ian, Jensen, and Archer are not too pleased. So what do normal guys do when the love of their life suddenly leaves? Oh, they find her. They watch her. They make sure she’s protected. That is until Mare decides she needs a little extra cash and the guys just weren’t having that. After years of Mare being alone, they’re suddenly thrust back into her life, and she’s teetering on wanting to protect them but also wanting her guys back. Ian, Jensen, and Archer aren’t the typical, crazy stalkers. Oh no, they genuinely love America.
Sweet Possession is book one in a standalone series, and I’m stuck on this Lucy Smoke binge that has me venturing out of my normal reads.
This book is seriously HOT! AJ and Lucy are a force when it comes to them writing together. I mean 3 hot, domineering alphas, and a stubborn heroine put together in a story full of action, suspense, steam, love, and everything else under the sun? PERFECT. Each man had their own personality and Archer? Oh, he’s lovely. I can’t get over how soft they get for her yet how protective and dominating at the same time. It’s legit the perfect mix. And when they call her Mare? *Swoon*
This book leaves off in the perfect place for where book two can pick up. And I’m just so excited to see what the rest of this story has in store for us.
America has a hard life but after seeing what a family member is capable of she tries to do the right thing and ends up loosing a portion of her life. She loves deeply and works hard to get what she needs. Raised rent sends her life into tailspin and adventure. America and her men face many challenges but will everything go back to normal?
So freaking HOT.
I love America she is a sassy badass main character who finds herself in a difficult position. After losing everything she never thought she’d see the 3 hot, dangerous men in her life again. But she is their obsession, their Sweet Possession. Of course they would find her. I found myself going from being on the edge of my seat to having to find something to fan myself off with. Seriously some of the hottest scenes I have ever read!
This was a difficult book for me to review… I really enjoy the concept of the story and the characters individually are intriguing, however, America did get on my nerves, she stubbornly does not listen and does not accept a hand when it reaches out for her! The guys, Ian, Archer and Jensen are all very complex and unique and their connection to America is intense but how could they just sit back and watch when they do have that connection!
Some of the scenes were difficult to read and at times I did not like how America acted with the guys!
Overall it is a good book to read and I did finish it…but the ending did feel rushed and I am left wanting to know more!
The two authors are so talented that I cannot edit got more from them and will read it all. This isa good book with a mafia tone that BBC will really captivate the readers who love it!

Finding America – good first story with steam and suspense
—>>> Review Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars – America has been looking her shoulder for the last five years, trying to scratch out an existence, all alone, constantly feeling unsafe. The life she had left behind was the only way she could live with herself; what she had seen, what she had to do. After all this time, her three men were back in her life, and they make no bones that they are there to take care of her and to stay in her life. There are flashbacks which fill in the missing pieces well, but I found the five years’ separation a bit too long to make sense, considering how possessive they were. Overall, a good first story with steam and suspense from this new-to-me author, and I look forward to reading more!
* New to me authors
Although these authors are new to me, I have to be honest as always. Sweet Possession is an okay story for me. I couldn’t get into it. I love menage stories and alpha men but this one was slow and I couldn’t connect to them. I gave my full attention and read the whole book so that is why I gave Sweet Possession three stars. And I am not saying do not to read this book, I am sure someone else would highly enjoy it. This one was just not for me.
This story is everything and so much more. From start to end I was completely hooked and absolutely loved all the characters. She had thought she lost them but they been there waiting and now they will make her theirs. It really is so freaking good.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book it has so much going on, brilliant characters that are interesting and keep you reading a fantastic storyline. Looking forward to reading more and I’d definitely recommend this book.

Sweet Possession dives straight into the story the second it begins. Our MFC has always known her father was a horrible person, but she doesn’t discover how evil he truly is until she walks in on something she shouldn’t have seen. From that moment on, her life changes. She’s forced to leave the men she was falling hard for behind and completely erase who she was—outspoken America—to become a woman she isn’t—quiet Mary—to hide from her father’s hitmen.
Five years into witness protection, Mare’s men are back and no longer content with watching her from afar. They’ve come to claim her, their sweet possession.
This story has so many freakin’ hot n’ steamy moments between Mare and her alpha men, as well as mystery and drama as a stalker is discovered and a mafia kingpin gets what he deserves.
By the end of the book, Mare and her men defeat the obstacles between them so they can finally start living the life they had to put on pause for years.
It’s a captivating and sexy read! Would definitely recommend, and I’m looking forward to the next book in this world!
I enjoyed this book. This was written well and then found myself looking forward to each new page. I was sad when it was done, I want more!!!
Sooooo I devoured this book. This is my first of AJ’s and I will definitely be checking her out after this. Lucy is an automatic read for me, so I knew I was already going to love it. The reunion with Mare and her guys….like I had to work later that day because I couldn’t stop reading on my lunch break. Phew, needed a cold shower hahaha . I loved the possessiveness of these guys, the storyline was exciting and intriguing. I like Mare and loved that she could stand up for herself but eventually let her walls fall back down with her guys. I definitely had a hangover after this one, took me awhile to get into the next book
This is book one in the Criminal Underground series. Wow, what an amazing start to the series. I loved reading this story, getting to know these great characters and reading ‘just one more page’ until I finished the whole book! It is packed full of loss, sexy steaminess, murder and twists to make you gazp. I cannot wait to read more. Enjoy!

This is the 5th book I’ve read written by Lucy Smoke; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Lucy smoke and A.J. Macey did a great job on this story. Sweet Possession had a strong plot that was packed with many emotions. Ian, Mare, Jensen and Archer were strong characters. A lot happened in this story, it’ll leave you on the edge of your seat. Mare’s journey wasn’t an easy one, she went through so much, but she was a fighter. she had her hands full.
This was a great story, I’m looking forward to reading more. Thank you, Lucy smoke and A.J. Macey. Great work 🙂
A mafia themed reverse harem romance. When America witnesses her father killing a man it changes her life forever. Leaving her home, family and boyfriends behind when placed in the witness protection program after testifying against her father, life drastically changes for her and not for the better.
Fast paced, steamy and full of drama it ticks all the boxes for a great read. Hot and spicey, I loved the characters and really enjoyed the storyline. It felt a little rushed at times but a great read which I highly recommend
