Book Review- Mother to the Mafia by Jess Thick

   

Motherhood made her brave, but to protect her daughter, can she give the mafia boss a son? 


Abigail


My daughter needs a hero, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep us away from the man who used and abused me — even if it means throwing myself into the lion’s den. 


Carrying a baby for money seems wrong. Doing it for a mob boss seems even worse, but what choice do I have? I need money. I need protection. I need a way to give my daughter the life she deserves, so if it means becoming a mother to the mafia, I’ll do it.


But how can I give up my own son? Or the man who looks at me as if I am a goddess when he feels the fluttering kicks beneath my rounding belly? The same man who protects my daughter better than her birth father ever could? 


Romeo 


I need an heir. A son of my own to ensure no one can touch my empire. She’s desperate — a damsel in distress. Easy to control.


So why can’t I stop thinking about her? Why does her daughter feel like my own? 


Once I have my son, she’ll walk away with my protection and enough money to start over, but now that I’ve had her, I just might not be able to give her up. 

 

 

3 STARS

 

Even though I knew this was a novella I was hoping for more a bit more depth. At least the violence wasn't really detailed which was good. I did like both of the main characters and there was some sweetness there. As well as sex of course. That was much later in the book as well, which I took as another good thing. 

There was a bit of excitement towards the end of the book as well as a follow up on Romeo and Abigail's life which was a plus. 


I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
