The Boss (The Killough Company Book 1) Kindle Edition

by M.D. Gregory (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,443 ratings
Conall Morrissey’s life is pretty bloody easy. He helps his brother take care of the whores at The Exotic Virtue, an exclusive high-end brothel owned by The Killough Company. They might not be earning as much as the other brothels, but if they make ends meet, the Morrisey brothers can get by fine. Until they get a visit from the boss of the mob who owns it, Sloan Killough.

Sloan Killough means business. He’s brash, violent, and tough. He’s the boss for a reason and he doesn’t deal in excuses or exceptions. He visits The Exotic Virtue for a taste of his product, and when he sees Conall, he knows he must have him as his pet. When Sloan demands Conall on his knees, Conall’s horrified. He may be bisexual, but he’s not the guy who takes it. When his brother sells him like one of their whores, Conall has no choice but to submit to their boss if he and his brother wants to live.

Being a whore to a mob boss isn’t what Conall expects. He fights Sloan’s orders at every chance he gets, but the boss seems to enjoy the fights, and has no problem in teaching Conall his place. Conall promises himself he won’t give in, but with each touch and taste, he finds himself addicted to the dark, dangerous man who could rip out his throat the very moment he gets bored of him.

4 out of 5 stars
No insta love and reluctant attraction.
I always go in to books like these with high expectations, it's a trope I enjoy reading. Big boss and his toy. It's a good book, and I liked the push and pull between the two. There is no instant love, instant attraction there's plenty of but played out in a way that it doesn't become too much. I liked the genuine fear Conall showed, he didn't blindly follow the man, he knew what needed to be done to keep himself and his brother alive. And while it transformed to something else, it wasn't quick, it took months and that is a plus for me. I want to read more about the two and hope they get another book and not just put as side characters in other books.

    This book literally has everything passion, love, intrigue, thrill, action, and even some comedy. If you don't love this book enough to reread it I don't know what's wrong with you. You're instantly pulled into Conall and Sloan's unique personalities. Then as you read on you will not only see their intense attraction, but you'd come to the conclusion that they may have been made perfectly for each other. If there is a true thing called fate, they were fated. There is not one part of this story that isn't interesting. It also leaves you interested in finding out what happens with the others. Even Elio and he's not even one of Sloan's people. I love the writing pattern implemented by M.D. Gregory. I think you'll appreciate they're writing style as well. I know that you'll never regret buying this book. Good reading.

    Rating 3.5* The story was interesting but the characters did not feel real to me. The MC Sloan just didn't get to me. I couldn't believe that a feared mob boss would act so foolish. Who would want to be loyal to him? Enter Conall the other MC, he was supposed to be a bad ass but came across like a brat. They both got into their D/S so quickly. Conall was so easy to train I guess Sloan is a pet whisperer. The back story was your typical mob vs. mob trope. All in all good enough for me to have a second helping. I hope I don't bite off more than I can chew.

    I read another book in the New Gothenburg/ killough mob world where Sloan and Conall were mentioned and I immediately new I needed to know their story. Big mafia boss Sloan is cutthroat and absolutely dangerous when crossed and he is looking for a new pet to keep his bed warm. (If you can’t get past the word pet- don’t read this book but believe me Conall is anything but a doormat). Which brings me to proud and feisty Conall, who is forced into the role of pet to save himself and brother. The back and forth as Sloan tries to tame his spirited new man and as Sloan tried to remember why he should hate Sloan is hot and steamy and utterly captivating. Their world is dark and bloody but there is something about the possessiveness, protectiveness and soft spot Sloan reserves just for Conall that really did it for me.

    Sloan is many things but gentle and caring is not something that could be said about him. Controlling, possessive and demanding though perfect description and loyalty above all else hes been looking for his perfect pet and he's just spotted him Connel is not amused he doesn't care who Sloan is he's know one's pet. It's a battle of wills and temptation will Connel give in or just end up with his throat cut. Connel is strong,stubborn and more then Sloans match. Connel hates his brother after he just gives him to the mob boss that ownes the brothel they run he's not a prostitute and he doesn't appreciate being treated like one either he's attracted to men but he's more of a giver less of a taker he's not bending over for anyone until he cant resist Sloan anymore. This book has plenty of danger and intense passion can't wait to read the rest of the series see were things go between Sloan and Connel.

    I have said in my reviews of other books that I just love everything set in this group of series. The way the characters and stories are intertwined just makes them better. I also like that the books are written in different series like this rather than just book after book about one group. It’s really fun to read the “romance” between these two characters and the push and pull between as neither wants to really give in and admit that there is more to their relationship than Boss and pet. Lots of action and emotion in this really great addition to these books.

    Mob Boss Sloan Killough is feared by his crew, so when Terrance tells his brother Conall that the boss is visiting their upscale brothel, they jump to it, gathering the escorts in a nice line.
    Apparently the Boss wants a new long term pet.
    The last thing Conall expects is the boss to demand him.
    He's angry and defiant but if he wants them both to live he has no choice.
    But part of him likes being a pet.
    Their attraction is instant and whilst Sloan is violent and cruel when needed, he is gentle and damn sexy too.
    This is kinky, funny, sweet, very violent and action-filled as well as hot.

    Reviewed in Germany on August 21, 2023

    The love story between the big mafia boss and his pet was somewhat funny and sweet. What spoiled the mood for me was the lack of honor in the described mob - dealing with heroine, murder of innocent family members of traitors and treating whores like cattle. Also annoying was the complete lack of consent in the relationship - at least later on the pet should have been given a choice to stay or leave. Also the term „pet“ was used very repetitive.

    I've loved Sloan and Conall in all the other stories and seeing their origin story shows their bond forged in blood!!

    This is a dark romance with grit, violence, betrayal, and danger at every turn. It's thrilling, gripping, and passionate! I loved getting Sloan's "side" of the story and more insight into his mind, his feelings, care, and possession reflected in his actions and words. Sloan is a force to be reckoned with and a fabulous Kingpin! I loved these two and look forward to many more stories with them and their continuing journey.

    The story and writing is dynamic and engaging and I feel I know these characters even better now I've read their story!! I'm forever a fan of Meg (& Ki), the world they've created, and these dark and dangerous characters I can't help but love! Highly recommended story and world; you just need to dive into today!!
