The Bossman by Renee Rose

 Sophie Palazzo steered clear of the mafia after her father's involvement ended with his murder. Fifteen years later, Joey La Torre, the Don's brother himself, shows up unannounced at her massage studio and wheedles his way into a date. She has no interest in aggressive, macho men like Joey, or so she tries to tell herself, but her body just doesn't get the message. When Joey takes her in hand with a firm bare-bottomed spanking, she ought to be furious, instead, she's aroused. As she explores her physical desires to be dominated, she tries to keep Joey at arm's length emotionally.

Joey knows he wants Sophie for keeps from the moment he walks into her life. She is hot, classy and full of fire, even though submission turns her on. But his involvement in the mafia is a hard limit for her, bringing to conflict his own dedication to the Family, the code of silence and his relationship with his older brother. Can he reconcile his duty to the organization and his growing need for Sophie to remain in his life permanently?

Publisher's Note: The Bossman contains graphic sexual scenes, consensual and non-consensual adult spanking, anal play, elements of BDSM. If such material offends you, please do not buy this book!

This was a really quick read that was packed with a lot of information and a few twists that kept it very interesting to me.  I do think that the length of this book was done just right because if it had been any longer, than it felt like the story would have been repetitive.  But that certainly wasn’t the case with this book.

I did enjoy the characters of the story; both Sophie and Joey.  The only thing that I didn’t really enjoy about their relationship was how quickly it seemed to progress.  I was left hoping for a bit more resistance, but it did end up working rather well I think for both of them.  I thought that the author did a really good job with Sophie’s character though, because her resistance and feelings toward the family were very crucial for the story to progress the way that it had to go.

I haven’t read anything by this author in the past, but I am glad to say that I did still enjoy the story and will be looking into reading more from them in the future!
