A Baby for the Billionaire Mob Boss

BWWM Secret Baby Mafia Romance

De: Lexi Johnson

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Every rejected daughter dreams of revenge. Mine came with a baby and a mob boss.

He was my brother’s best friend. The man I was never supposed to touch.
Now he’s the father of my child—and the most dangerous man in New York.

One family dinner. One brutal rejection. One reckless night in the arms of Damiano Moretti—the billionaire mob boss who’s been sending me flowers and love letters for years. The only man who’s ever seen my worth.

I thought it was just one night of comfort.
I was wrong.

Because Damiano doesn’t do “one night.”
He does possession. Protection. Permanence.

And when he finds out I’m pregnant—before I can even tell him myself—he makes it clear that I belong to him. Ring, name, and all.

Now I’m caught between two worlds:
💣 A family that threw me away.
💋 A man who’d burn down the city to keep me.

They say you can’t choose your family.
But when the mafia chooses you, running isn’t an option—especially when you’re carrying their heir.

A scorching BWWM secret baby mafia romance with forbidden love, brother’s best friend, touch-her-and die energy, and a hero who'll burn down the world before letting her go.

Steamy & a Switch

In this read I like that the man was more in the forefront how he felt mattered more than in other books I’ve previously read. He wasn’t shown as whiny or whimpering for being vulnerable, just the opposite. His strength shown through do that the woman was able to believe and trust him with less hesitation I’m assuming than her normal. I also loved how each character had their own spotlight that then still centered on the two main characters. The storyline is still woman meets man something happens they fall in love etc etc but the intriguing nuances of how the story plays out by keeping you on your toes and immerses you within so that you become the characters and want to react is what had me continuing to read and sharing with my friends. I hope you read it’s a really good listen it even had me look up the narrators lol.

This was a cute 3.5 star read!

Lexi Johnson send new to me author and I really enjoyed this book! I’m on a mafia/dark/bully, reading kick, and I thought this was going to fit the bill. Well, it kind of fit the bill. This was more of a suggested, bully romance. The title made it sound like this was going to be in a possessive obsessive story, it had a bit of that, but it was more spoken than shown if that makes any sense. Our H cautious about what he would demand from our h. She held a lot of power in a situation that she should’ve had pretty much none in? So, that right there was a bit out of the norm for most mafia reads. She’s gonna do what I say, too, when I say, do it, and love every second of it!
I did feel for our h, Michaela really had a rough spin of the dice when it came to family. Her family was the worst! They made her feel like she was worthless, unloved, and unwanted. They did everything in their power to make her feel small.
Growing up, all she had was Domingo, the mafia boss, who was the best friend of her brother. Not sure how that relationship came about, it didn’t even seem like they liked each other let alone we’re besties so not seeing that connection at all unfortunately
This was a virtual voice read, so of course there wasn’t a whole bunch of emotion in an inflection, but still, I got the gist of the idea when I was listening to it. I think I liked it a bit more when I was actually physically reading it because I can add my own voice in my head that I felt a little bit better with the characters and made them seem a little bit more rough around the edges, dark, and gritty.
All in all, this was a fun break from the norm. Not what I was looking for per se… But still a decent read. I kept reading and was glad I did as a story turned out to leave MINI warm and fuzzies in the end!

the voiced

loved the story in general. was very easy to follow and didn't get boring

Gave up at Chapter 7

The story has so much potential, but we're not fans of female leads who keep telling everyone how grown they are every chance they get, but make the dumbest decisions ever, lie for reasons that don't make sense, and jump to conclusions rather than communicate. Over and over. Why is honesty and communication a foreign concept? Ugh.

We don't expect a story that be all smooth sailing, but the extra dysfunction is so unnecessary. When the mob boss is more honest than almost everyone else, that's...jarring.

The AI voice is a bit off-putting. It's not as bad as we thought it would be, but it's odd to have narrators that don't attempt to sound like other characters. Sounds the same all the time. Same cadence, same inflection. Even during the sex scenes, it sounds like it's reading a cookbook.

Two-thirds of the way through chapter 7. Done.
