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 🔥🔥🔥

Had a good story line but….

I loved the Male lead character and the male narrator. The female narrator mispronounced a few words that took away from the story. About around character 57 I speeded up the story just so I could finish the book. Anytime there was a plot twist, I’d slow it down.

Good story, but annoying main female character

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

Annoying FMC

Really struggled to get through this audiobook. FMC has got to be one of the most whiny, annoying characters I've ever experienced, nearly ruined age gap books for me. Male narrators were decent, female narrator added "r" sounds on and in to a lot of words where they don't belong for example "palm" was pronounced "parm", I found it very distracting. Not a lot of plot. After listening to this I don't think I'd read or listen to anything by this author again. Not my cup of tea.

Tantalizing story!

Yowza!!!! Mafia Lust, an Audiobook by L. Steele is the wildly passionate story of JJ and Lena. Whew….this story has it all!!! Forbidden love, clandestine meetings, uncontrollable urges, you name it….it’s here!!! Compelling and I was unable to stop listening….especially when things get really heated!!!

JJ fights his feelings as much as possible, but to no avail. Lena tries to stay with the one she’s with….she doesn’t want anyone to get hurt…but, the pull is too strong…I freaking LOVED this story!!!!!

This Audiobook was narrated by Shane East, Evelyn Rose, and Wen Ross. Their narrations were spot on. The only thing is that one of the male narrators would start speaking well….then it would go down to a whisper. I had to constantly change the volume to hear him. I finally stopped and just tried to fill in the gaps from the rest of the story.

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.

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!

Arranged Marriage Series!

Mafia Lust ✔️ all the right boxes:

Tropes include
• Enemies to Lovers
• Age Gap
• Boss - Employee
• Forbidden Romance
• She’s in love with her boyfriend’s father

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.

Kinky

The story started off pretty good... then it just got weird for me... some people are into this kind of kink just not for me.

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.

What did I just read?

This book started off just fine. Shane East is really the only reason it’s getting more than one star.
Please be warned this book as a MMF scene with the father and son. They are blood related (he is his biological father.)
No where in the summary is this mentioned or suggested in the books in anyway. Until it actually happens.

Mafia Lust

S3xy, hot, steamy, spicy.
A great story, including age gap and taboos.

I like that this story includes maincharacters of previous books too.
Looking forward to Liams story.

Saucy

JJ and Lena's story wasn't the best in the series if I'm honest. Was nice to catch up with characters from previous books in the series . So erotic in places it had me blushing but one particular scene I couldn't believe, no spoilers.
Overall a good piece of writing. I received a free copy of this audiobook

Taboo

This storyline is a bit more taboo than the rest of the series. With characters that are chasing love it’s a great book. I love taboo so this was right up my street. A great performance.
