BLURB:
He was supposed to hurt him. Ruin him. Instead, he fell in love.
In the big, bad city, Eric West holds the reins. A mafia king, he is feared, ruthless, and obsessed with a man half his age.
Will, his favorite whore, is young, beautiful, and the only person to ever bring him to his knees.
Will is a man to kill for.
A man to change for.
But what if Will isn’t what he seems?
REVIEW:
Woohoo, there is a lot going on here. A lot of things not being what they seem, and a lot of people doing things for the wrong and sometimes right reasons even if they are wrong. It sounds a bit crazy, and it is, but it is an exciting ride that grabbed my interest and kept me turning pages. What starts out as an undercover job to take down the big bad guy quickly turns messy when feelings get in the way, not to mention the actual sexual chemistry every time these two meet.
Eric is the mafia don who is miserable in his marriage but has to keep up the front due to his status. The danger is too high if anyone finds out he prefers men. So he limits himself to visits to the high-end secretive whorehouse. What he doesn’t count on is being completely captivated by Will. Likewise, it is easy for Will to get into the role when the chemistry is off the charts and Eric shows a different side than what Will was expecting. Puts him in quite a pickle when feelings get in the way of his main goal to the point that he is getting pulled pretty harshly in different directions. Plans change as Will now believes he will survive Eric’s wrath once he finds out his true identity if he is already in love with him.
This was a fast-paced story that had a lot of twists and turns. I really want to see more of these guys and hope this is expanded further to other characters. It is my first time reading this author, and I really liked the dark gritty storytelling. Not too much fluff here, which is just up my alley. I’ll definitely be keeping Ms. Bauer on my radar in the future.
