Sinful King (Kings of Vegas #1) by Natalie Kane

From Natalie Kane, comes an all-new world with Sinful King, an age-gap, obsessed-hero, Mafia romance!

Eloise

I ran away from one organized crime household and found myself tripping right into another one. My father, the head of the Italian Mafia, is a bad man. He wants to marry me off to some creep I don’t know, but rather than succumb to that nightmare, I fled to Vegas, hoping to find a job and blend in. In the first week, I’ve been stolen from and beat up, and I have no money to my name, but I find a job as a bartender at RAPTURE, an upscale—okay, super bougie—adult club just off the Strip. I can’t believe my luck. I love this job, and I’m intrigued by the mysterious tattooed man with ice-blue eyes who always seems to be pinned to me. Things are looking up.

Until my father’s men find me.

Rome

I’m a ruthless, hard, dangerous man who takes care of his men and employees, and I run the city of Vegas with my brothers. That’s all I need. Until a gorgeous, raven-haired beauty comes walking into my club and sets my soul on fire.

I’m obsessed with her. Consumed by her. I need her in a way that I’ve never needed anyone or anything before, aside from the power and control that I’ve worked so hard for. She doesn’t know it, but I own the club that employs her, and I follow her back to the seedy motel she’s living in after her shift to make sure she’s safe. She’s mine.

Suddenly, someone is out to hurt my Firefly, and that means that they’ll meet a painful, bloody end. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. To keep her with me.

Forever.

4 out of 5 stars

I had a fantastic time reading Sinful King. It was entertaining, sexy, and intriguing. It was an exciting read with dark undertones, and I really enjoyed being introduced to this harsh world. Rome was intense, and I loved how he was instantly all in and wanted Eloise. Great start to a new series!

I thought Eloise and Rome were great characters. I felt for Eloise and all that she’d endured. Rome was intense and brutal, but the need and love he had for Eloise was everything. I liked Eloise gaining strength and moving forward in her life with him and how they forged an unbreakable bond. They have an instant attraction and a fast-paced relationship, but it worked for them. There was a big age gap between them, but I honestly didn’t feel like it was an issue.

There were a lot of characters introduced, and I’m looking forward to the stories about the other Kings. They are all their own brand of intensity and intrigued me. I liked the bonds the men had and how they were there for one another.

This story moved at a quick pace, and the details were good. I got just what I needed to stay invested in the story. There was a lot of drama, some not for the faint of heart. I loved Eloise and Rome’s connection and all the spice. Bring on book two!
