    5.0 out of 5 stars A job to prove his worthiness.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Michael is next in line to become the Don of the Cosa Nostra. He has also been in charge of his four brothers well being. In order to prove his worthiness to become Don, he must kidnap and kill a young woman (Karma West) because of the misdeeds of her father. This is a task Michael must accomplish. But who is Karma West? Is she simply collateral damage? I love this author. I just finished reading her Seven Series. If you look up the meaning of the word, "entranced" part of the definition states... When you're entranced by something, it's got you under its spell. Capable of attracting and holding interest; fill (someone) with wonder holding their entire attention. That is what this author's books do. I am a voracious reader and I wait with great anticipation for every single one of her books and then I gobble it right up. It's reading at its finest. A delectable dessert that holds no calories. It simply takes you away to a different place and when your done, you're left completely satisfied.
    Remember if you want to read a book you can't put down, you have to pick it up first.
    Don't miss this prelude into L. Steelers next incredible series.
    I voluntarily read and reviewed this book and this is an honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Action, violence and kinky sex. But short...only 8 chapters
    Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is Book 1 of the Mafia Billionaire Romance: Arranged Marriage series. In truth, it's more like a short prequel (only 8 chapters). This series (5 books including this one) tells the story of Karma and Michael. If you've read L. Steele's Billionaire Bad Boy Series, particularly book 1, Sinclair and Summer's story, you will recognize Karma as Summer's sister. Both series are entertwined. (For clarity, Sinclair was kidnapped as a young boy (along with some other boys) by Summer and Karma's father who did so under orders from a mob boss he owed and ultimately double crossed. The mob boss is Michael's father.) You might want to read the Bad Boy Series first...at least Book one for some history about Karma, Summer, their Dad and his affiliation with the mob boss and the debt he owed. (What happened to Sinclair and his friends as young boys kind of sets the stage for this series.)

    This book tells some of Michael's history, his rise to power, his strained relationship with his father and how the decision to kidnap Karma comes about. It also gives background on Michael's brothers. It is a good intro, setting the stage for Mafia King...book 2 in the Mafia Billionaire Romance: Arranged Marriage series. Book 1 is pretty action packed and there is quite a bit of violence as well as kinky sex scenes. (Each brother has deveoped his own particular kink, a result of their upbringing.)

    I have to admit, I've only read book one of the Billionare Bad Boy Series. Each book in that series tells the story of one of the men kidnapped as a young boy and his love interest. So each book will likely give you a different perspective of their time in captivity as each boy's experience differed. As the boys have remained friends into adulthood, they will all likely appear in the other books of that series; but technically, each of those books could be read as a stand alone.

    That can't be said for this series as all 5 books deal with Michael's and Karma's story. Typically, I don't mind series per se. I do enjoy them, especially when each is a stand alone (dealing with a different couple), or if the couple in question is together throughout the series but dealing with outside conflicts or separation is caused by enemies. I don't even mind if a separation occurs because of a real or perceived wrong by one of couple, provided the series is only 2-3 books. But I really hate a series of 4 or more books where the relationship goes back and forth (together, apart) throughout the entire series. Unfortunately, from the synopsis given for each of the 5 books in this series, this couple separates at least twice. I love L. Steele's books, but I'm not sure I can take a back and forth relationship that spans through 5 books, so not sure if I will read any more of this series.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Michael is the heir to the Don of the Cosa Nostra. His brothers are also part of the family. The Kane Firm sent people to attack him, under Frankie's orders. Michael's father gave the orders to kidnap the 7. But Adam Rhodes betrayed him. Now Michael has been given the order to kidnap/kill his daughter Karma West. To show the rest of the families that he is still worthy to become the next Don. What will he do when he finds her? Will he kill her or kidnap her? Or will she turn out to be the woman who he has seen in his dreams?

    I can tell that this is going to be a great series everyone. Especially since it is tied into the Big Bad Billionaire series about the 7. By L. Steele.

    This book was given to me as an ARC copy for my honest review. Five stars.

    So much is packed in this short prequel. Leaves you with so many questions. So many thoughts on where you are hoping the series will take you.

    “Some things are etched into your skin. You can’t carve them out, for they are a part of you. They are burned into your soul, and whatever you try will only engrave them deeper into every cell of your body…Until they dominate your every thought, your every action dictated by the ghosts of your past.”

    Looking forward to Beauty and the Beast to see where L Steele takes this family…where their journey is destined.

    Michael has a big situation ahead of him. Protecting his family and killing the daughter, Karma, who her father betrayed his family, or will he not follow through with it.
    I just love how this author gives us strong character and passion to melt our panties.
    But on a serious note, she gives us great stories that has a very good plot and background history that interlocks with the previous stories. We are finally going to see how the mafia fits in with the Seven. So get ready for this new spin off!

    This is a really good introduction into the series that is to come. It gives the background of Michael and introduces Karma a woman that is intrigued with his savage behavior. It is a short dark prequel that is descriptive and keeps you glued to the pages with an intense action-packed story filled with drama.

    This is the prelude to "The Beauty and the Beast". Mika is Capo, hates his father the Mafia Don and is already mentally planning his takeover. The only unfavorable thing is that an unknown beauty has recently visited him in his sleep and he can't get her out of his head; even during the day. Being distracted is an absolute no-go and it doesn't take long for an incident to force him to send out a clear message not to lose his position. Now he's on a hunt for a traitor's daughter to get his revenge.
