My thoughts: I give it ♥♥♥. The whole BDSM thing was weird. When Dante says he simply CANNOT get off unless he BEATS and completely immobilizes his sex partners, I wanted to slap him. Come on, dude, you seriously can’t get it up any other way, and you can’t just ease Charlie into the whole whipping thing? It has to be all or nothing?
But you just have to go with the crazy to enjoy this book, so I did. It was fun, totally unrealistic and overall ridiculous. Of course I will read the next book. And the next. And probably the next. 😀
Author’s Blurb:
Even though he’s not really over his ex-boyfriend Jamie, twenty-three-year-old former football player Charlie finds himself drawn to Dante Dombruso, the gorgeous, highly dangerous leader of a mafia crime family. Dante is the perfect rebound fling, six feet, four inches of raw sex and hard Italian muscle, wrapped in an expensive suit.
The confident, sexy crime boss is way out of Charlie’s comfort zone. But Charlie already lost everything once by giving in to his fear, and he’s not willing to make the same mistake again. If he’s going to do this, Charlie knows he can’t hold back. He can’t date this man a little, he can’t trust him a little, he can’t go to bed with him a little. If he’s going to get involved with Dante Dombruso, Charlie has to be All In.
