Nate: A Mafia Romance (Dark Protector Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Celia Aaron (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 719 ratings
I rescued Sabrina from a mafia bloodbath. As the new head of the Philly syndicate, I sent her to the best schools to keep her as far away from the life—and me—as possible. It worked perfectly. Until she came home. Until everything changed.

Author's Note: This is a full-length, standalone romance set in the the world of Dark Protector.

    Great story, really enjoyed the s*xual tension between Nate & Sabrina, although the large age gap was a bit of a turn off. Would’ve preferred if Sabrina was in her early or mid twenties, as Nate was in his early thirties.

    Really loved the s*xual tension between Nate & Sabrina; when Nate wakes up h*mping the bed to thoughts of Sabrina, I thought was hilarious & hot at the same time.

    Another scene where Sabrina was being taught self defence by David & Nate steps in, then they end up on the lawn - hot.

    When Nate & Sabrina are in the pool & he wants to do things right - also hot.

    This was a great story, although I would’ve liked more s*xy dialogue between Nate & Sabrina during s*x & less mafia, who doesn’t love a lot of spice in a story.

    Going to read this book again while listening to the audible ;

    5 super hot stars! Take one mafia boss, add a sexy sassy 18 year old who knows what she wants, and a good amount of action thrown in, which altogether made this a book I couldn't put down! Loved it.

    The story picks up 5 years after Dark Protector. Nate has picked up the pieces of Vincent's underground kingdom and has become a ruthless but fair boss. He never sought out his position but Nate takes his responsibilities seriously and that includes protecting his people, going legit and making sure no one tries to muscle in on his territory.

    Things start to get tense between his crew and the Russians and before Nate knows it, they're in an all-out war. In the middle of all this, 18 year old Sabrina, fresh out of high school, is moving in and causing her on brand of chaos for Nate. Gone is the scared little girl he promised to keep safe and in her place is a woman who calls to Nate on a level he's never experienced before.

    When Sabrina's dark past comes back to wreck her, Nate finally admits no one else is equipped to keep Sabrina safe. Not when he would lay his life down for her. Things quickly escalate and soon Nate and Sabrina are fighting a psychopath who threatens to rob them of their chance at true love.

    What I loved about it:
    Nate is a hard core boss now, calling all the shots, doing the dirty work when he needs too and taking the good and the ugly as his due. But C.A. kept him deliciously wicked naughty. I loved seeing his playful sexy side with Sabrina.

    I also really loved the role reverse here. Generally I like my guys to do the chasing but Sabrina’s determination to go after what, or rather who she wants was very empowering. Rather than have Nate pursue Sabrina, we have him trying to protect her and Sabrina as the main aggressor. For being so young, Sabrina was a strong h, she knew what she felt in her heart, she knew who she wanted in her life and she didn't let anyone (let alone poor well-meaning Nate) stand in her way.

    This had great emotional growth, for both characters, but the inside look at the workings of Nate was note worthy. It was steamy as hell (the chemistry is off the charts here!) and had some really sweet moments too. Nate introduced some exciting secondary characters I hope we'll see again soon and a surprise cameo of Con!
    If you liked Dark Protector, Nate will be right up your alley. It still delivers in the action and suspense department and the villain here is darker and twistier than expected. I highly recommend this series? (Please let it be a series!) So far both books have blown me away! The possibility of getting more in depth stories of the rest of Nate's inner circle has me super excited! I'm talking about the Raven brothers and Angus here!

    Just an FYI:
    This isn't so much a complaint, more like a warning. This has some scenarios that might be triggers for some readers. Spoilers below.

    Favorite Lines:

    ...She’s all in here.” I pointed to a random spot on my chest. Just happened to be my heart. Coincidence.

    We spoke to each other on a level no one else could understand. Our souls had met five years ago and whispered about each other ever since.

    ...they judged me to be a prude. But they were wrong. My issue was simple: I didn't want a boy. I wanted a man. One man in particular.

    Memorable Moment:
    When Nate lets down his guard and we get to see the Nate of old... loved his sarcastic humor!

    So Nate is not the typical mobster . Sabrina is not a typical young woman . Together they had very different ideas of what their life would be . She only saw a futur with him and he only saw a futur pushing her away . Turns out she is smarter than he is after all .

    Mystery good . You suspect but are never sure until it happens

    Sex is superb

    Length ,I feel like the ending was rush a but in the last chapter .

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2017

    I am a real Celia Aaron fan and loved the Dark Protector series, so 'Nate' was a must-buy for me.

    He is a hot badass mafia boss and determined to 'clean up' their operation and stay away from trafficking women and hard drugs. He is sidetracked in his endeavours when 18 year old Sabrina shows up at his home. Nate had become her guardian 5 years earlier and had sent her away to school and is knocked off his game when he sees that she has blossomed into a sexy young woman.

    There is plenty of sexual chemistry - which Sabrina is keen to take further, whilst Nate is desperate to ignore. Of course he only manages that for so long and then the sparks fly! The sex is undeniably hot but I was just a little unsettled by the age gap and how the virginal Sabrina was so sexually confident! Also their background relationship was a tad unsettling to me to overlook.

    There was tension with Nate having a 'rat' in his camp who was working to destroy his empire, but the conclusion was a little bit of an anti-climax as I had already worked out who it was.

    Nevertheless I would recommend this book for some mafia boss action and with a good dollop of hot sex!!
