I’m not a call girl; I’m a college student—playing dress-up to find my sister.
One night. One assignment.
Get invited to the table. Memorize names. Get out.
Easy—until he walks in.
Luka Zogaj isn’t just powerful.
He’s lethal. Savage. Worshipped and feared like a god.
And when he sees me, he buys me.
Not for a night. For two weeks.
Now I’m living a double life—student by day, owned by a monster by night.
He doesn’t know I’m living a lie.
But every time he touches me, I forget who I am.
He’s the last man I should want.
And the only one who’s ever made me feel like this.
I just paid you for fourteen nights with a few grand extra thrown in. You’re mine, same as that jacket there. If you try to hide, I’ll find you. If you leave town, I’ll find you even faster. For the next two weeks, you are mine and mine alone.”
Oh Annika, you sure do know the way to a girl’s heart.
Now it’s been a minute since I read a book by this author, and I have no idea why. I forgot that Annika was THAT girl when it comes to writing some of the most delicious MMCs. If you didn’t know, just read Dark Mafia Prince and thank me after. But I digress.
The second Annika released the title to this book, I was immediate intrigued. But when I read the blurb, I absolutely had to have it. A dangerous criminal and the innocent college girl he buys thinking she’s a call girl? TAKE. MY. MONEY.
When I tell you that I devoured this book in one sitting, I mean I gobbled it right up.
Edie is desperately searching for her missing sister and manages to get herself into quite the pickle. The pickle being her being forced to pretend to be a call girl to try to gather information on some dangerous people. Get in and get out. Until she catches the eye of the most dangerous man in the room, Luka Zogaj. And oh Luka, the savage that he was.
Now did I want to judge Edie for her naiveté at times? Sure! But then I remembered that she’s on her own, desperately searching for her sister, and my judgy braid would just shut off. I loved how she wasn’t afraid of Luka almost as much as I loved the way he got off on her scorn and sass.
I’m your daddy now,” he says, entering me slowly, stretching me over the sink and working me how he wants
This story had everything; the grit, the suspense, the chemistry and the sizzling romance. The villain was somewhat predictable, but I think it may have meant to be with plenty of hints thrown along the way.
It was one of those books that I devoured in one sitting and was thrilled to see would be a series, because I desperately need more. If you love a sexy and gritty mafia romance, you need this book in your life. Trust me on this now and thank me later, mkay?
