Publisher's summary

He's my boyfriend's father, also my boss, and totally off limits...

JJ Kane. Billionaire tycoon. Ruthless villain. Supposed head of the underworld.
The first time I set eyes on him, I hated him with a visceral intensity that took me by surprise.

Considering he gave me a roof over my head when I had nowhere else to go, I should be grateful.

Instead, I can’t seem to stop baiting him.

He's also my boyfriend’s father. Twenty-six years older.

And all wrong for me.

He goes out of his way to avoid me, treats me like I don’t exist, but also gives me a job in his office, and protects me from my boyfriend's anger.

Now, he’s also my boss, so I can’t afford to antagonize him.

Yet, we can’t seem to stop fighting every time we meet.

That is, until he kisses me....

This is an enemies to lovers age-gap forbidden romance between an arrogant mean CEO and a strong-willed, confident young woman who’s determined to live life on her own terms. This audiobook is a stand alone.

Love this series 😍

I will listen to anything that Shane East narrates 😍. His voice is soooooo sexy!!! With that said this book was my favorite from the series. I loved the taboo of the forbidden LOVE ❤️. Totally worth the credit and is HOT HOT HOT 🔥🔥🔥

Good story, but annoying main female character

This was a good story with some really great spicy scenes. Lena was annoying though,

Scorching hot and unexpected!

What to do one when of your favorite authors throw you a curveball ?! Keep on listening because it’s only going to get better! Oh boy this was unexpected and I think at some point my jaw dropped to the floor. JJ and Lena are on fire together and just when you though it couldn’t possibly get any hotter Ms Steele decides to burn the world down ! Shane East, Evelyn Rose and Wen Ross did a fabulous job with these conflicted twisted characters and made them extremely likable inspire of all the “drama” . Expect to clutch your pearls repeatedly while you enjoy this fabulous age gap taboo billionaire romance!

Caught in the middle

Lina and Issac are down on their luck when they move into Issac’s father’s mansion. To say that there is tension between Issac and his father JJ is an understatement. Issac is an artist and his father wants him to be his executive assistant Issac rejects that but Alina takes the opportunity to put her MBA to good use. The chemistry between Lina and JJ are off the charts but she soon realizes she is in between father and son. Choices are made and that change relationships forever. Loved this book and the steam factor is off the charts.

WOW

I wasn't expecting a fafher/son threesome, but it worked. I expect Ted little more drama or club develop.ent, but was still a good storyline.

Mafia Lust ✔️ all the right boxes:

L. Steele's exposition style spotlights her talent in putting words on paper and creatively exposing the characters and their personality. A contemporary narrative that piggybacks to erotica with its risqué smexyness. Told in multi-pov giving each character their own voice, inner dialogue turmoil. Absolutely love the glimpse of characters that popped in from the Arranged Marriage and Big Bad Billionaires series. In L. Steele's style she intricately weaved humorous banter into the pages and kept me captivated from page one to the very end. Excellent unfolding.

Shane East, Evelyn Rose, Wen Ross muti narration was purely perfection. Evelyn Rose was exactly how I pictured Lena character. Her inflection fit the characters age. Shane East and Wen Ross perfoemed the characters and their personality as they were them. All narrators bought the characters and their story to reality.

Narrators make the book in Audio-FAILURE!!

One author. All the same characters. A million narrators to choose from. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THE SAME ACCENTS? No spoilers. In all the other books, JJ is a well-spoken Brit. In this book - the one about JJ - we have 3 narrators... Shane East does great voice accents. Evelyn Rose has a cockney lower class Brit accent and says the word "palm" as parm! Seriously??? And lastly, Wen Ross can't do an English accent at all.
One of the earlier books I couldn't even listen to because the narrator made the Italian Mafia guy sound like a New Jersey thug. It is so painful.
I feel like L Steele is writing by formula using similar dialogue, descriptors, behaviors, even dick size. She doesn't seem to own the end result of the audiobook either. And where is her editor? Didn't anyone want to suggest changing some things up? She really had great potential! And it wouldn't have taken a lot of work to make the books 5 stars all the way through.
It pains me that I am supporting her by purchasing all these books. However, I like the characters and want to know where the stories end up. I just feel she has potential to be a really good writer and early on in her career she has taken the lazy and easy way through. I guess you do get paid the same money whether the story is good or great.
I am grateful I got 8 books for one credit in a box set.

Female narrator

Female narrator kept going in and out of accent. Drove me crazy. It took me forever to figure out what “Parm” meant. She was trying to say “Palm”.

She has a very nice voice and I would listen to her again, just hoping she can maintain whatever accent she is using for the entire book. All accents were consistent, except Leena.

OMG Fanning my face

Ms. Laxi I don’t even know we’re to start, JJ is the Alpha of Alpha’s. Hell this make me want an older man. You have truly have out done your self once again. This and other parts had me wanting to have my own experience "Open your mouth," he growls. "Excuse me?" "Open. Your. Mouth. Lena." I do. The next second, he takes a sip from the cup, then leans over and dribbles it into my mouth. My gaze widens. Well done again Ms. Laxi well done.

So addicting!!!

I couldn't get enough the narrators did such an amazing job and the writing is perfection. Hooked from beginning to end.
