His Pretty Little Burden: An Age Gap Mafia Romance (Kids of The District Book 4)

Product Information

A man twice my age, who kills brutally, takes territorially, and hides his emotions deep within layers of smooth control. Nikki told us this was🥵Age-gap taboo, we have our 😇Sweet heroine Fawn and our 😈Mafia Don Clay Butcher, there is unlimited 🔥Steam, 😇 Praise kink, 😈You are my property vibes and finally romance. Don't be fooled though this is dark (please heed the trigger warnings) and it wouldn't be mafia without 🩸Gore and violence.

Blinded by the pain, I squeeze my eyes shut, panting, and howling through the agony, the immense pressure. My hands fist. My nails stab my palms. And I can’t control the tightening of my muscles. Clay pries my fingers apart, placing his arm into my grasp, so I can shred his skin instead. i normally love a dark romance novel containing taboo subjects (really, it’s often what i look for often in a book) but i don’t know exactly yet what it is about this one that made me feel super uneasy (well actually i do know, but it seems that i’m so frustrated with this book that i can’t properly articulate it) Everyone in Nashville knows Nathan Dumont. That's what happens when you develop half a town and sleep with the rest. What I don't know is that he plots to use me. I am not just the daughter of his colleague, but a girl with a powerful heir in her belly.

Needing to redirect her from this concern, I say, "I've taken care of everything. I will take care of you. Both of you." Those boys man. Those horrible boys. Wow. Benji. I thought he was a good one. Ugh. And how clay made it better.

Also Clay may seem a soft dominant man yet he has his own demons, fears and needs. Despite this fact, he always puts her first, even before his brothers. if you did enjoy this book, good for you, i’m not here to take away from your experience with this book Goodreads Librarians are volunteers who help ensure the accuracy of information about books and authors in the Goodreads' catalog.

It features a powerful Mafia Don and his endearing tortured heroine. His Pretty Little Burden has an age gap dynamic that some people may find uncomfortable. It is an epic romance story, with spice, and dark themes. Enjoy. Too pretty to be so utterly vulnerable, alone, and asking for help from the deadliest man in the city—me. Nicci’s writing style makes you feel every single word. She is very creative with how she explains the characters emotions, that personally, I have not seen before. The heroine was nothing but her trauma and she connected with the first man who gave her any kind of stability.

This awkward communication between them also adds to creating an uncomfortable dynamic for me, because Fawn is literally painted as extremely naive and vulnerable- she comes across as a child most of the time. So the intimacy and their relationship is a little uncomfortable for me with the age gap and the alpha male BS that we get with our male MC. Sweet little Fawn is the daughter of a boss in The District Cosa Nostra.The daughter of the man who betrayed my family.Not only is she a burden—barely eighteen, naïve, the epitome of a little deer in headlights-But she is too damn pretty.Too prett...A cliche is just one of the things to look out for while writing. They can slip in unnoticed and ruin an otherwise great paragraph. Then there's the passive voice, accents, misspelling, typos, incorrect data. The list is long. He spoils me, punishes me, and holds me accountable. So, when the time comes for Clay Butcher to weed out betrayals and take revenge on those who have hurt his family, I will choose him. Anyway, onto the story: Clay is 35, newly the head of the local mafia, and the mayor of the District (the fictional Australian city where these books are set). He’s married, but for arranged mafia reasons, he and his wife don’t have a sexual relationship. I actually love this part of the book - since his wife isn’t an evil OW who’s an obstacle to his relationship with the heroine. She wants good things for him and supports it! I want Aurora to live her best lesbian life, and be a mafia queen. The heroine, Fern is 18, grew up in the foster system, and she goes to Clay’s house for help with her pregnancy situation, since she thinks her long lost dad is there. He’s not, and little does Fern know that Clay is pretending to be generous and have her stay with him while he “looks for” her dad, but he’s REALLY planning to use her and her unborn son to lure out her dad to kill him. (The reason relates to events from earlier books…so this would be confusing if you read it as a standalone!) Clay and Fawn have an insane connection, and I loved their dynamic. Clay is definitely a dominant alpha, and Fawn is a natural submissive. Clay was so freaking hot, and he spoiled Fawn in the sweetest way. He is extremely possessive and has major "touch her and you die" vibes. The sex scenes were so hot, and I loved the way Clay praised her.
