Vital Struggle and the Devil's Dominion - 

Christina B. Rose

Synopsis - 

Mara: I always feel him. He follows me everywhere I go. It’s not in my head, either - I know he’s always there. His presence is as disconcerting physically as it is mentally, just as it always has been. But I don’t have time to worry about him. The possibility for a future I’ve always dreamed of feels like it’s right at my fingertips.

The only problem now is that I’m not sure I want that future anymore. I’m not sure what I want at all.

Cas: I’m not built for this. She’s always been my obsession - my only vice. So I watch her. Even as I solidify my alliances, I’m plagued with thoughts of her. I need to bend her and push her. I can make her understand, I’m certain. She’s mine, and she knows it. We both know it.

But I can wait. I know she wants to make the decision. I just hope she doesn’t make the wrong one.

My Rating 5/5 -

Christina has done it once again! I am OBSESSED with Cas. The way this book was had me all up in my feels and I actually talked out loud to my book a few times! If you like mafia guys and dark romance then this is for you. I would highly recommend reading book one and catching up because this is by far my favorite series of 2024 so far.

Tragic Bindings - Devil's Dominion Book 2

 Tragic Bindings - Devil's Dominion Book 2 - Christina B. Rose

Synopsis - 

Tragic Bindings and the Devil’s Dominion

Book 2 of the Devil’s Dominion series

Mara: My greatest fear has come true: I’ve been caged and discarded. Is it from those apathetic to my needs and desires, or from those who wish me harm? No. I’ve been subdued by the least likely suspect. The man who says he loves me. My dark obsession - my guilty pleasure. Casca Scutari.

It doesn’t matter how I feel about him. I need to get away. I won’t let him do this to me. I need to find my freedom.

Cas: She needs safety, and I’m the only one who can offer it. Sure, she may hate me, but I can’t worry about that. Thoughts of her and her childish whims need to take a back seat to the upcoming war. I have more pressing matters to attend to.

Unfortunately, she’s all I think about. She consumes my mind, day and night, just as she’s always done. I can’t get her out of my head. But that doesn’t matter. I can’t allow her to take control.

My Review - 5/5 Stars!

Can I just have Cas? Please! He is so yummy and perfectly written. He has become my favorite book-boyfriend of the year! This book is so perfectly written that you can feel all the emotions for each of the characters and it drags you in deeper leaving you needing more. Hm... Book three I think that's just where I will go now!

Idle Hands The Devil's Dominion Mafia Series

 Idle Hands The Devil's Dominion 

Christina B. Rose

Synopsis - 

Cas: She killed my brother. At least, that is what I have believed for the months I followed her, learning her habits, likes, and dislikes. The moment I’m about to pull the trigger is not the time to second-guess myself. In my line of work, I don’t have the luxury to wonder about guilt or innocence. The fact is, I’ve been paid to do a job. Mercenaries don’t get to pick and choose who they put down. I’m one of the best, and my reputation is on the line. She may or may not have killed my brother, but she’s certainly not innocent, with the things she’s done.

There’s just one problem… she’s so different behind the scenes than the person she plays in public. I’m curious about a target for the first time. As much as I hate everything she stands for, I hate the idea of letting her go without getting what I want from her even more.

Mara: Rich, powerful, beautiful – part of the elite. Everyone thinks I love this life - the role I’m forced to play. But they’re wrong. I don’t want much – freedom? A sense of purpose? I’m not even sure I know. But I’m certain of one thing: I’m tired of playing this role. I’m tired of this game.

Unfortunately, the game doesn’t want let me go. There’s a lot of danger out there, and I’m in no position to refuse protection. I’m forced to comply with a hulking, cranky stranger. I suppose when he isn’t being so hateful, it isn’t the worst way to spend my time. I can’t pretend he isn’t gorgeous, or that I don’t find some strange thrill in his acrimonious demeanor. But there’s so much more that I want, as well. I want to break out of this life. I want to save myself and be free.

Idle Hands and the Devil's Dominion is a dark mafia romance with many elements and themes that may be triggering for some readers. Please check the author's content advisory in the Author's Note before reading.

My Rating 4/5

I am fairly new to the mafia genre but this book is amazing. Mara is by far my favorite twist in this so far and meeting cas and perfection! The twists of this book and ending leave you needing more with every moment. The cliffhanger has me needing more! Book two is locked and loaded

My Review

1. If your looking for a fast-paced spicy book that is pretty good this book is for you cute little short novella that I was able to read in about 2.5 hours. I like character development and there isn’t a lot of that but I did appreciate the down-to-earth feel of the book. It’s steamy and primarily focused on a physical relationship. I would read it again.
