Cruel Vows: A Dark Forced Marriage Romance (Chicago Mafia Dons) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,722 ratings

He’s a cruel man, and he’s taking me against my will.

Bar tending at the Devil’s Alpha bar was supposed to be temporary.
Until my brother got in too deep with the MC that runs it.
Now I’m stuck in this dead-end job in the worst part of Chicago.
Until a fated night, where things take a darker turn.

The night a tall and gorgeous stranger enters the bar.
He sticks out like a sore thumb, with his designer suit and expensive watch.
Axel is making a deal with the Morrone family.
The man is the eldest son, Massimo Morrone, heir to the Morrone mafia throne.

They come to an agreement, but there’s one problematic condition.
Massimo Morrone won’t supply them unless they give him me.
My brother tries to fight it, but Axel is the president.
What he says goes, and I’m not worth messing up a lucrative deal.

Despite not being theirs to trade, I end up the property of a filthy rich Italian mob boss.
Massimo drags me kicking and swearing out of the bar.
He makes it clear he wants my submission the moment we’re alone.
He thinks he can take me and make me his plaything as if he’s God.

Before I know it, I’m marched to the end of an altar in front of people that I don’t know.
A gun pressed to my back while I’m forced to say my vows.
He puts his ring on my finger, binding us together in the eyes of the law.
If he thinks that makes me his, he’ll have a shock.

I belong to no one, and by the time I’m through with Massimo Morrone, he’ll wish he never married me.

Cruel Vows is the fifth book in the Chicago Mafia Dons series. This book is a dark mafia romance involving a forced marriage, dark themes and certain subjects that may upset the reader. It has no cliffhanger a happily ever after ending, and can be read as a standalone.

    Wow, this book had me on the edge, the entire read, Mas was so controlling and forceful, and Paisley wanted no part of him. So he kidnaps her and forces her to marry him, the drama, and sex is great

    Massimo Rossi, heir to an Italian Mafia, takes Paisley, a young beautiful bartender from a low class bar owned by the head of a biker gang who deals with drugs. She somehow got included in their drug deal when Massimo demands it. His father had been pushing him to marry one of the women from a long list but he wants this bartender to be his wife. He took her home and locked her in his room. She attempted to run away but he is always a step ahead of her plan. She hated him but eventually falls in love. Lots of steamy sex and suspense but the ending seemed rushed. There was a gunfight and attempts to kidnap Paisley and Massimo’s cousin but the villain got away and no closure in that scenario so twas a bit disappointing.

    I’m noticing all her books are repetitive but honestly I love it.
    It’s always smut and always touch and die
    Always a happy ending. What’s not to like

    I love the arranged/ forces marriage of mafia. Mafia romance is my genre. N, this author knows how to bring it. Always so good reads. There were a few errors that editing could fix but not a big deals worth. The main characters were perfect for each other even tho it didn't seem that way initially. The plot came thru in detail without a lot of extra junk. I liked Massimo and Paisley, n i loved how they ended even thou it was a rough start. An HEA but open-ended on the bad guy, probably because this is part of a series. It does have TW, but if you like mafia, don't miss this series.

    In “Dirty Secret” will Paisley become pregnant? I’m hoping that Massimo’s Father gets to see the baby. It would be great if she has a boy & names him “Remy”. I wonder if Massimo might find her father. What of Rick her brother?

    Massimo saw the woman who would become the love of his life. Paisley had to go to this mafia party and didn’t want to be there standing out like a fish out of water. But Massimo saw a beautiful woman that he had to have. When she went to the bathroom he followed her and they both was instantly attracted. A deal was made with the MC and she was part of the deal. Massimo kidnapped her and kept her locked in his room until they were married. When she was walking down the aisle at gunpoint she thought she truly hated him. But love blossomed and she realized her life was so much better with Massimo than being at the MC with her brother. I highly recommend this book, it is worth reading.

    Massimo finds the love of his life in a biker bar. Sold as part of a deal to massimo. Paisley gives her soon to be husband a crazy chaotic few months. Twisted book with betrayal and dirty plots. Who can be trusted? Excellent book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Massimo and Paisley
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2024
    Beautiful, dirty, kinky, obscene and wonderful. I love how all the characters from the previous books are included and the story is of Massimo and Paisley, his redhead princess, but there is a wonderful continuity of events and revelations. I'm curious to see how it all keeps evolving and how it will all end . I also absolutely love the fact that the writer shared with as, the readers, how all of this brutal incessant mob war started but so far nobody else picked up on it

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the favs 5*
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2022
    I've read Miss B's books before. I have completed most of her other series... So I know what to expect. But this one prob has my one of my favourite female leads.

    Paisley is so fierce and isn't a push over! She isn't scared to push and argue back. Mass... For short her Italian was a bossy, pushy alpha who saw her , wanted her and took her , quite literally!

    I liked this as Miss B heated scenes are always on the tougher side/bdsm. This is the same but less in the bdsm. Made a nice change of I'm honest.

    I loved the chemistry and the pull between these two lovers... I like that out Mon Boss was the one to show his feelings first it really added to the dynamic!

    Great read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars book was okay
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 28, 2023
    Book was fine, my only gripe is she fell in love way too quickly. Also throughout the book it’s the whole war issue but it’s not resolved in this book. Just ends a year later. So for that only 3 stars. Characters were good though
