Publisher's summary

Dante: She’s Cinderella, but I’m no prince.

I’m son to the richest mafia lord in Vegas. Heir to the throne under one condition: Find a wife, or I’ll do it for you.

And I found her. But she is too good, too innocent.

I’ll ruin her, but I can’t let her go. I lose my mind when she calls me daddy.

When the clock strikes midnight, the party’s over. She better run, or my darkness will take over.

Gabriella: Meet me at midnight, he says.

My life is work. I promised my father I’d care for my stepmother and stepsisters. I don’t have time for anything else.

Then I meet Dante. My prince charming. I forget everything but him.

When the clock strikes midnight, the party’s over. Dante is hiding the truth from me, and his dark past could destroy everything.

Mafia Prince meets Diner Girl

Have you ever been spanked by a mafioso? No, didn’t think so (and if you have please send details.) But you know you want to read about it.

This is an interesting mix of fairytale meets mafia romance. Not surprisingly You’ll want to throttle the wicked stepmother while easing the burden of Gabriella (our heart of gold Cinderella with a drive to please Daddy*) She is working night and day in the dinner her stepmother owns. Never really expecting more from life until enter Dante on his steed ok motorcycle.

Dante may have a playboy past and a domineering attitude but he is always princely with his Cinderella. And as the heir to a mafia empire his life is shrouded in secrets none more precious or alluring than his midnight trysts with Gabriella.

I would recommend this for fans of mafia romance, fairytales with a gritty bdsm twist and people in to daddy play.

*It should be noted that when I say daddy I don’t mean her actual father. Just like in the OG fairytale Gabriella’s father met his untimely end.

really good cinderella story

I love fairytale reimaginings. This one is no different. I enjoyed the writing, and the narration. The characters were not flat, and one could empathize. I listened to it without stopping. It really just captured my imagination. Great book.

Horrible!

It sounded like Teddy Ruxpin was reading to me. Sent it back for a refund.

Adorable

Super cute story
But a little too simple but still cute.
Wouldn’t have laid for it if I knew tho

Great book don’t love the narrator

It’s set in Vegas but the narrator has a New Jersey mafia accent. Says things like Zip for sip ect. He also paused at strange places. It wasn’t too distracting and i think the book is good enough that makes up for the strange narration.

Good

Great book all in all... not as steamy as I thought, but good story.

At this point I'm only reviewing the narration

The narrator sounds like he's never read out loud before. The flow is terrible. You can tell where the page ends because he finishes what's on the page like it's the end of the sentence even though the sentence ends on the next page. And his tone is all wrong. He should familiarize himself with what he's reading before he records. A bad narrator can ruin a book. This book might be a total loss.

Great Play on Cinderella

Heroine with daddy issues.

Hero with daddy issues. It could have went deeper.

Worth the credit.

Ugh!

Terrible narration ruins an otherwise mediocre story. The dialogue could have been easier to listen to if the narrator were different. I’m disappointed because I’ve listened to several books by Jane Henry and loved them all. This just isn’t one of them. DNF and returned for a credit refund.

Oh, Jane Henry

I've listened to 5 of this authors books now...and every single one is the same. The female lead is either taken by the male lead...or hidden from his crime syndicate. She's a perfect kinky virgin with a huge tolerance for being belted by her captor. More excited by the consent violations than she thinks she should be. Male lead is violent and brooding and oh-so-annoyed he wants to continue screwing her. Plot holes galore. Unanswered questions at the end. In this one there's no mention of what happens to the step sisters, the best friend/fairy godmother, the restaurant, or the money the step mother got out of the dad. Nor any mention of where the male lead's mother ends up. So. Many. Holes.

Can we get one book about an experienced sub seeking a healthy dynamic with a non-abusive Dom? Where they each struggle to find a partner with similar kinks? One where there's not this preverse fixation on the woman being level 5 kinky but somehow magically hasn't ever been touched by a man...*eyeroll*

Oh...and this narrator was god-awful. Weird mid-sentence pauses, tons of mispronounced words...and gross mouth noises that should have been edited out. It's like they never quality checked him. Terrible.

Fun and unique take on a classic fairytale

I'll admit that it too me a little while to get into this book but once I did I enjoyed it. This isn't a deep, dark book like you might expect from a mafia romance. It's a lot more upbeat and lighthearted a good part of the time. Though there is plenty of kink and steam in the bedroom to keep it interesting.

The narrator was a little rough around the edges but overall he did a good job. I would listen to him again.

Interesting twist on Cinderella

The story was interesting and far different than I had expected. It had all the things you would expect in a Cinderella retelling but involved so much more. I enjoyed being able to see both sides of the story.

I was not to fond of the narration of this book. I felt the flow, tone and infliction could use some work. I feel this narrator could be really good with a little more work on those things.

Good Story!!

I really enjoyed this book. It was different than what I'm used to, and would have loved to see some action in it. This audiobook is a different twist to the original fairytale. Dante, being the next in line to the Las Vegas Mafia, needs to find a wife. Gabriella lives with her stepmother and stepsisters. She does everthing they ask of her without complaining, until she met Dante. That's when she wanted more for herself. Will she get it? You'll have to listen to it to find out!

OMG

This was an amazing and captivating fairytale with a unique and interesting adult twist. It is a definite book you will enjoy.   

Good story

I liked this mafia style Cinderella fairy tale it was so well told and I found it very easy to listen to. It was not full of action but a slow burn romance between Dante and Gabrielle. It had all the elements of the fairy tail wicked step mother ugly sisters glass slipper but told in a very 2019 way.

Paul D Henry has a nice voice sometimes I found you could hear the breaks in his talking where he must of added words in the final but this did not take anything away from the story it just stood out a bit.

I enjoyed this book it was a nice story.x

A modern fairy tale.

Mafia Daddy was a Cinderella fairy tale with a lot of modern details..

Dante is trying to get rid of some sort of rules that his father has commanded to follow. he doesn't want to continue living this life, he feels so out of sorts and out of his element.. searching for answers he finds someone who changes his life and makes him see that everything is possible now is up to him if he will follow his heart or continue a tradition that will only make him unhappy for the rest of his life..

Gabrielle works hard to maintain a house and roof to live, she though her father left her with some sort of responsibilities that are making her very unhappy, she doesn't know anything aside of working and fulfilling every demand her stepmother asks..
but her days living this terrible situation are almost over hopefully she will finally have the strength to leave everything behind and start a new life..

this was good listening, it was fast and entertaining, the characters where good and the story was also good. with the narration, I would have preferred more variance in the voice and the dialogues but other than that everything worked well.

YESSSS

Mafia meets Cinderella?! YES PLEASE!

I was sold when I saw Cinderella. I LOVE retellings. But then throw in mafia and Dante riding a motorcycle?!?! YESSSS!!!!

This was such a good book! Such a unique, darker twist on a classic love story. Not only was it unique on the take of how the story was told, but even the characters had unique names. You had Prince Charming and Cinderella in the original story, but here we had Gabriella and Dante.

The narrator did such a great job! It was funny to pull my self back for a minute and just listen to him narrate a female POV while Gabriella is getting dressed! Overall, a great story! I'm very much enjoying Jane's books and most certainly not my last!

Hot cinderella story

I love a dominant alpha male, and the story does not disappoint. Gabriella is an innocent and Dante and as far as innocent as you can get. I was so happy to see that they got the Cinderella happily ever after.

A modern day fairy tale

Mafia Daddy was a hot and steamy adult version of the Cinderella fairy tale. It was a fun and interesting book to listen to. Dante and Gabriella had amazing chemistry and got the happily ever after that they deserved. Paul D. Henry did a good job narrating but it was often hard to tell much difference between the male and female characters.

🎧AudiobookObsession

Just what I needed

This book is insanely hot! Such great chemistry between the characters. I was so enthralled by it I listened to it in one go! I couldn’t stop listening. Great characters, great chemistry and a fantastic storyline. Paul is brilliant with his performance.
