I wasn’t supposed to be here. Kidnapped by a stranger and forced to live in his home. So why am I drawn to my captor? Secrets from my past threaten not only myself, but now him. Do I trust the man who kidnapped me or get the hell out of Dodge?

    I am a sucker for rich meets poor. In this instance, Matteo bumps into Homeless Vanessa and drops his wallet. Vanessa picks it up and runs off. Matteo is so cute (i know, he is not suppose to be cute... should be big tough mafia guy!. But i think he is cute... at least underneath) some funny moments, slow burn, rags to riches story. This couple was perfect, so cute!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Wait!!!
    Reviewed in Australia on 27 January 2021
    Oh Matteo!!! I have been hanging for your story from the very beginning. Matteo is book 1 and kicks off the new series ‘The Syndicates’.

    Matteo had done his time and now he is a big player in the game; when Vanessa slams straight into him she never thought she would end up kidnapped and in his home. There is a very fine line between the two of them and when that line starts to fade, they find themselves falling for each other.

    I personally LOVED this story; after meeting Matteo back in the Mafia Royalty series he has been part of the family, but Matteo has grown up; he is arrogant and alpha down to the bone.

    I cannot wait for more from this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 🖤 Matteo & Vanessa 🖤

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/6.
    🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.

    This was my first book by this author and i actually enjoyed the heck out of this.
    Vanessa is a homeless girl but she holds up to her values and no matter the offers she gets, she always turned it out because she knows nothing is for free. I loved how street smart she was and i loved the dynamic she had with Matteo.
    Matteo felt like he needed to help the homeless girl who stole from him because he has sisters and he knows how hard life can be. I loved how thoughtful he was and how/ why he set himself up to conquer Vanessa and her heart.
    I loved that she didn't gave in right away and she slowly started trusting that Matteo was way more than his reputation and family.

    I loved the sexy dynamic they had and i liked how through those scenes, they built their trust in each other.

    I will say i found Matteo's relationship with Iz a bit weird. Her reaction in the beginning felt like a jealous ex and i didn't vibe with it however she did redeemed herself in my eyes later on.
    I did like how tight the friendship within the family was and i honestly can't wait to read the next one.

    Ok so I didn't know how exactly this was going to go. It was a really sweet story with dark tension and deeper involvement that I was ready for. Awesome story.

    For a fearless mafia man, Mattel has a soft heart. From the start he had stars in his eyes.

    For me, the tough stuff was a little too absent, but overall a good read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic, unique mafia story!

    I absolutely love this story of Matteo and Vanessa. Matteo is high up in the Italian mafia, however still has a heart of gold. He has the amazing dichotomy to his character of hardness when needed, but only to protect those that has his love and loyalty. His first instinct when it comes to Vanessa is to protect her, help her. Vanessa has had an extremely hard life and does not trust easily at all. So she makes Matteo work hard for it. Their spice is a controlling type of a good time. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this world!
