5-14-26 Bksprout/ VITO: A Forced Proximity Surprise Pregnancy Mafia Romance by Claire Kirby

  Bksprt

 

I was kidnapped by a mafia heir, taken to his private island to fix his violent temper—and ended up carrying his child.

I wake up on an island owned by the Conti crime family—with Vito Conti watching me like I already belong to him.

He doesn’t apologize.
He explains.

I’m a therapist who specializes in violent, high-control men.
He believes I can cage the darkness clawing at him.

He’s the volatile eldest son of a mafia don.
One reckless mistake nearly killed his brother and confirmed what his father already believed.
He isn’t fit to lead.

So he controls the only thing he can.
Me.

He doesn’t need ropes.
His silence commands.

His gaze claims.
His restraint is deliberate.

His fingers slide to my throat as he roughly tilts my face up to his.
His mouth stops a breath from mine.

He could take.
Instead, he makes me beg for it.
And God help me, I do.

Until my disappearance triggers a federal investigation that could dismantle the Conti empire.

So when he finally offers me my freedom, I choose to stay.

And just when he proves he can cage the beast inside him—
I have to tell him I’m carrying his heir.

--My 5 STAR Review TITLED:  Vivid and Interesting

 Teresa is a brilliant psychologist who is in demand by many.  She was a prodigy from  a very young age. So skilled that she graduated from school at age 14 and went on to even more skilled places of education ! Not only is she smart, but she has situational awareness and has some smart defense moves in place. Although, she feels like she's been having a prickling in the back of her neck for a whie; like she's being watched.  She just never catches anyone.  Her spidey senses are tingling !! Even with all her precautions nothing prepares her for Vito ! He captures her easily !

Yep,  Vito has been watching her for a long time. And Vito sure seems to have some major control issues. But does he really?  He seemed pretty prepared to snatch Teresa.   The struggle is definitely on between the two of them. Making me wonder if or how she would ever escape the island and Vito. Will she even want to, was my question until the end. 

This story has a such beautiful, vivid, detailed "picture" of the island and the isolation. And inside this gorgeous mansion? Gorgeous ! The story kept me involved all the way. 

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