Desperately Delicate Viper is the latest in KM Neuholds darker romance Mafia Bound series. With a violent twink that doesn't need rescuing and the mafia cinnamon roll that would love to kneel for him.
From the blurb:
That Feeling when the man you just robbed and left tied up and blindfolded turns out to be in the mafia…
I'm not proud of the things I've had to do for money to pay off my dad's debts and put my younger brother through college. But I'll never regret it.
What I do regret is accidentally robbing a Moretti.
Having to look over my shoulder and ducking every time a car backfires is bad enough, but when the man in question starts costing me business? Yeah, I think we’re going to have a problem.
I never knew I could feel the way I do when Luca Moretti gets on his knees for me, but I don’t have time to be romanced by this obsessed, submissive, mafioso.
No one has ever made me feel as strong and capable as he does. Can I really be the viper he sees me as? If I learn how to bite, can I finally make my life my own with Luca Moretti at my side?
Molly Otto's review:
Luca Moretti is one of the grunts for his family, and that's fine with him he doesn't seek the power that the rest of his family has. one night at Wonderland, he comes upon Anders and knows he needs this little twink to own him no matter what. Anders hasn't been able to make his own choices for a long time. Soon, his brother will graduate, and he will be free from the reign of his father. What starts with the perfect night of submission changes both men's lives forever.
What could be a power imbalance towards one ends up being the complete opposite in the bedroom in the best way possible. The heat of these two is on another level. The complete submission is magic. Their love language is right on the morally grey life of the Moretti family. I love this darker side of KMs writing, where it still feels as her style of writing is just darker. Mix in the epicness that is the friendship between Sparrow and Anders, and you are in for a treat.
SNik's review:
Fourth in series (Mafia Bound), better if read in order. Light BDSM. Quick read. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.
Forced to prostitute himself, Anders doesn’t realize his latest trick is part of the local Moretti mafia family until he has robbed Luca and run away. There’s some sort of special connection between him and Anders, and Luca will happily stay under Ander’s rough heel as he refuses to let the man with hidden dangerous depths go.
This story ramps up quickly with high heat and a meant-to-be dynamic between Anders and Luca that neither man has experienced before. There’s a little bit of background for Anders, although I did wish for more about his close relationship with his brother, and I certainly wished we got more about Luca as he seemed to have a depth of character that would have been fun to see more about. However, every moment Anders and Luca are on page together were super engaging as Anders holds his own against a mafia tough guy (secretly a cinnamon roll) and all the steamy scenes that KM Neuhold is known for are definitely there.
