The Beast Who Begged Me (Clemenza Family Book 3) by Leighton Greene


The sizzling finale as Cal becomes head of a resurrected Clemenza family and Dami must decide if he's willing to pledge his life and heart to Cal. Highly recommend this series.


From the blurb:

For twenty-one years he hated my Family. Vengeance was what kept him breathing. I was the debt he came to collect.


He bought me to avenge his father.
Kept me in the dark.
Broke me down to pieces.

Now he’d slaughter anyone who touches me.

There’s a bounty on my bloodline—and now there’s a price on his head, too.
He turned his back on his Family to put himself between me and the grave.
My enemy became my protector.
The only man I trust.

But even if we survive what's coming, I'm not sure we'll survive what comes after.
When we're left alone with the truth…and each other.

Nothing on this earth gets to take him from me.
Not our enemies. Not the truth. Not even the beast himself.

He's never begged for anything.
He’ll beg for me.


The Beast Who Begged Me is the final book of the Clemenza Family series, an ongoing-couple dark MM mafia romance trilogy. It must be read in order. Expect dark dealings, obsession, possessiveness, toxic dynamics, and all the red flags. These antiheroes will earn their happily ever after, but they'll have to fight hard to get there.

Series Reading Order:
1. The Beast Who Bought Me
2. The Beast Who Broke Me
3. The Beast Who Begged Me


SNik's review:

Third and finale in trilogy (Clemenza Family), must be read in order. Former captor/captive. Forced proximity. Size difference. Age gap. Found family. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. 

Cal and Dami have reached a détente and then it falls apart. While Cal becomes head of the newly resurrected Clemenza crime family, Dami comes to terms with being beyond indebted to Cal. 

The power dynamics in this book were really entertaining, because I appreciated Cal’s mob intelligence while he came into his own while Dami still dominated in their personal lives and was very much a protector. I enjoyed the strong found family themes in this, their own family and the expanding criminal ties. The super spicy scenes since Cal and Dami can’t keep their hands off each other throughout were steamy and actually important to their relationship growth. Honestly, I am sad to see this trilogy end, and I hope to see more of Cal and Dami as I really liked these characters and their journey (but the teaser for a new main character almost did me in).
