⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Another great story in The Sinister Fairy Tales Collection!

The Mafia is for life! Especially if you are born into it. Then you just have to find your own way of living and surviving the life. Arabella and Domenico have found a way to do that.

Belle is a woman who needed to find freedom and get out of her gilded cage. At nineteen she finally found her way out from under her father’s thumb after he humiliated her. She slipped her guards and found her way to a new life that she was able to maintain for three years. She needed to find a way to pay for rent and food, so she worked at a strip club for cash under the table. She needed to keep watch thought to make sure that she wasn’t found by her father or his associates to keep her freedom. The only trouble is that she is found, and that freedom is taken away from her again. The secrets she’s keeping from her captive could help her, but she is not aware that one of the men who is her captor knows her secrets and is keeping his own.

Domenico is a high ranked mafia member and he is the man that has Belle in a cage and is keeping her prisoner. He has secrets of his own that he is keeping from Belle. He has lived a life of danger, death, and abuse from a family that can’t accept him for who he is. He was given a directive before Belle was taken to keep her safe, but he doesn’t know who she is or what has prompted the kidnapping or the directive. When he finds out what’s going on and what’s in store for her, he decides to take her and keep her safe, but it puts them both in danger now.

I loved this story and the characters are great. Belle and Domenico are perfect for each other and the secrets that they are keeping could either be detrimental or help them. Their story is full of action, betrayal, deception, loyalty, twists, secrets and lust. I loved the buildup to their lives and their future. They are both dangerous and can keep each other safe and protected. Their power and strength are paramount to who they are as well as how they will rule their family. Belle and the Beast are perfect in this Sinister Fairy Tale. I give this story a 5-star review and cannot stress enough how great The Sinister Fairy Tales Collection are. I highly suggest that you start reading them as soon as possible.

She’s naïve, semi-educated, beautiful, and looking for more in her life. Unfortunately for her, the offer she has received is not legitimate and she has no idea what she’s signing up for. Carmen DuPree is looking for a way to get out of her life in Mississippi and move on to a better life. She wants to open her own dance studio and the offer she has been made could help her with that, little does she know that it could lead to her demise.

He works for Dark Horizon’s and most of his jobs have been working overseas in protective services, but now he has agreed to help with a job of taking a captive and sending her to a buyer that is looking for young girls. He’s not completely comfortable with this job and the woman he has to put on a plane is not his normal type, but when the buyer decides that she is too old for him, Eamon Hart is now in a situation where has to get rid of the beautiful young girl he is holding captive. The only problem is that he doesn’t want to.

This was a good story. A story of captive to lover with two people who could not be more different. Carmen was born and raised in Mississippi as a poor girl raised in the system due to a tough family life. Eamon was a Marine and now works for a black ops company that takes on various jobs. They are both damaged from their childhoods and are both trying to survive. This is the first of this kind that Eamon has taken on. He doesn’t trust easily and only has one person he can rely on. I give this story a 3.5-star review and recommend it to readers who enjoy ex-military, black ops, or captive to lover stories. This was my first read of this series and my first read of Sonora Voss.
