He took me to keep me quiet. Then he made me scream his name.
Kostya Baranov is an infamous assassin, a man capable of incredible savagery, but when I witnessed a mafia hit he didn’t silence me with a bullet. He decided to make me his instead.
Taken prisoner and forced to obey or feel the sting of his belt, shameful lust for my captor soon wars with fury at what he has done to me… and what he keeps doing to me with every touch.
But though he may be a beautiful devil, it is my own family’s secret which may damn us both.
Fabian “Burger” Murphy is a man loyal to his club and family, which for him are one and the same. He will kill for them. So, when his sister, Sofia, tells him about what happened to their little sister, Gina, regarding her date with Roman Alexander, Burger is ready to spring into action and avenge Gina’s honor. Nobody disrespects a princess of the Lords and lives. All he needs is permission from his club president and father, Niyol “Dasan” Murphy, which Burger knows is a given. Roman is in for one hell of a surprise.
Roman Alexander knows he made the biggest mistake of his life walking away from Gina. She was the first woman he’d ever met that made him feel like he could truly be himself. Around Gina, Roman was vulnerable, and that’s what terrified him. That’s why he left. Unbeknownst to him, it was a move that would lead to two huge, menacing bikers wearing Lords of Chaos MC cuts walking into his office, looking for payback for their princess.
Diego “Dragon” Murphy finally has a man in his life he can give his heart to. His only concern is if Richard “Richie” Harrison would be willing to join the Lords of Chaos MC. If that wasn’t enough for Dragon to worry about, he still had a hit to carry out for a powerful mob boss. With Richie willing to help him, he may just be able to pull it off without a hitch if all goes according to plan.
Vito “The Vise” Castiello is a man others would be stupid to cross, but some still do. And once you’re in his grip, he doesn’t let up until you give him what he wants. When his brother and mob boss, Rico “The Monk” Castiello, tells him to go to Chicago to take over businesses there, he has his concerns. One is their partnership with the Lords of Chaos MC and the other is the triad that already controls the drug game on Chicago’s north side. In the midst of all that, what Vito isn’t prepared for is his powerful attraction to Zindel Esai, the beautiful employee that captured his eye who works in his bordello. For one thing, Zindel is a man and Vito is straight, but he can’t seem to shake his desire, but he knows it will pass…right?
The Reviews
Mbbluestar 4.0 out of 5 stars great read Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2023 Verified Purchase Besides the obvious lure the author weaves together the characters into each others lives in a way that is almost seamless. The story is engaging and makes you want to binge read. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because in the last book my mental image of Ace was changed in one passage. What can I say? I don’t like biker beards. Lol read it. You won’t regret it. It’s not my normal type of book but it will be going forward.
Cheryl_cajun 5.0 out of 5 stars Enforced: Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2021 Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review. Enforced is being out more players as its giving a deeper look at the other characters with business and outsiders dealing within the Lord's. Was there about to be two more prospects because the past month was just bringing in all the fun and Yummy carnage! TT is calling out Dragon on his CAKE was so hilarious! Who in their right mind BLEACHES CHICKEN!!
Lockdown was lifted, leaving some of the members on edge. It wasn't a question of how but when the retaliation was coming their way. Kenshin survived, even coming out the other side with a new and befitting name Ahiga hell week maybe over but the real danger is just starting. Loving the new found sass that Kenshin has, even in his jammies! Oh the Lord's are about to wreck havoc on the scum that broke Gina's heart, only just who is going to win the battle on just which havoc ghost boy is going to receive? Man, Dragon thought he was ready but really wasn't ready for what Richie gave him Dragon's trust only went so far, what would happen if Dragon learnt of Richie's little secret? I mean, I understand where everyone is coming from but Burger is making some serious sense about the whole Castiello deal but it seems he isn't alone when it come to this new job offer.
Daria 5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Laid Plans Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021 You ever wanna spank an author? Just saying. !Enforced! Book 3 and can I just say wow! Mr. Bella has done some things. This series is over the top and have loved each book. Enforced full of good stuff, The MC are all kinds of bad, but give family and loyalty a different look.
In this part of the story Gina is heartbroken and her family is about getting justice, no one hurts the Lords' Princess. The good Doctor\s communication skills are lacking but not his attitude, is he ready to tell his story? is she ready to listen?
The Lords are chomping at the bit for the rival MC to make their move, then at the most inopportune time. Let's say... the best-laid plans and all. The MC are getting in bed with the Italian?! Negotiations Daddy D isn't a pushover by any means and an expensive suit and twin bookends bodyguards won't intimate Dasan or his crew.
Then there is Dragon his boy seems to have come into his own, a decision will be made. Dasan pretty much took the choice out of his hands. Now there is a bit of information is it legit? Dragon is just about to find out.
Hold on to your kindles my friends, the MC is coming to you hot and heavy. Enjoy!!

In my late-night hunt for the perfect pastry, I never expected to be the victim of a brutal attack… or for a brooding, blue-eyed stranger to become my savior, tending to my wounds while easing my fears. The electricity exploded between us, turning into a night of incredible passion.
Only later did I learn that Valentin Vincheti is the heir to the New York Italian mafia empire.
Then he came to take me, and this time he wasn’t gentle. I shouldn’t have surrendered, but with each savage kiss and stinging stroke of his belt his beautiful seduction became more difficult to resist. But when one of his enemies sets his sights on me, will my secrets put our lives at risk?
If anyone asks me what my favorite food is, I would mostly likely say french fries. You may think that fries aren’t necessarily a whole meal but to me it is. I like different iterations of fries including waffle, steak, crinkle, curly, and shoe string. I even like them with additions such as chili, cheddar, and my personal favorite, gravy and cheese curds.
For obvious reasons, I cannot eat traditionally prepared (deep-fried) fries all the time, so oven-baked fries are a good alternative. Baked fries can be hit or miss because sometimes instead of crispy fries, you’re left with oversized roasted potatoes. There are tricks to getting crispier fries, but this one hack is something you would have never imagined.
According to this recipe from user Life Tastes Good, tossing potatoes with a tablespoon of sugar, and letting them drain in a colander for 30 minutes before baking is the vital step to getting super crispy oven fries. Here’s why it works.
