Vegas Underground Book 7
“I OWN YOU NOW”
She made a big mistake. You don’t blackmail a Tacone.
Coming to me with a threat? Unacceptable.
If she needs money, she’ll have to ask nicely.
But once I give it to her, we both know what it means:
She belongs to me.
I do my best to hold back. Give her respect.
Trouble is, I can’t keep my hands off her.
And now that she’s under my thumb,
I don’t plan to let her go…
Note: This steamy stand-alone romance is the seventh in USA Today bestselling author Renee Rose's Vegas Underground series. No cheating, no cliffhangers
My Review:
This doesn’t quite take over the top spot as my favorite in the series, but it’s a close race. We’re back to learn more of the fallout from the skirmish between the Russians and the Tacones. Now, as anyone who’s read many of my reviews probably already knows, I adore a wounded warrior hero. A description Gio fits to a ‘T’. His body may be mostly recovered from the events of that day, but his mind and emotions haven’t quite caught up yet. He’s haunted by the memories of what happened and, even more frightening, what could have been. I loved seeing the vulnerability that Gio hid from his family. Marissa brought out a softer side to him along with his alpha-protector nature. I liked Marissa, but I didn’t love her the way I did Gio. I could feel how high her guard was up and, just as she kept Gio out, I wasn’t getting through her walls either. The ending is completely adorable and it’s thoroughly hooked me for the next book. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
