Description

In the second book in The Bossman Series, Mafia boss Bobby Manghini strikes an arrangement with a hair stylist in financial crisis to be his submissive mistress but her discovery that he’s not married could ruin the relationship.

When Chicago hair stylist Lexi Tyler finds herself evicted from her apartment, her best friend sets her up with the mobster Bobby Manghini, knowing he likes to play sugar daddy. He offers her a luxury apartment overlooking the city and spending cash every time he sees her, but one thing is clear: he is the bossman.

Lexi soon discovers Bobby backs up his rules with firm, over the knee discipline, but he also takes responsibility for all her problems, giving her more support than she ever dreamed of having from a man

Mobster Bobby Manghini likes to be the man in control, particularly with women, which is why he prefers a mistress for sex, even though he’s no longer married. When he strikes a deal with Lexi to be at his beck and call, he finds in her the full package -- a hot, intelligent woman who is turned on by his dominance and willing to submit to his punishment. But when she finds out he doesn’t have a wife, she is hurt by the deception and severs all ties.

Can he prove to her their relationship meant more than a business arrangement? Or will he lose the one woman willing to give him everything he ever desired?

In the second book in The Bossman Series, Mafia boss Bobby Manghini strikes an arrangement with a hair stylist in financial crisis to be his submissive mistress but her discovery that he’s not...

This book was so good! I'm so glad that I finally was able to read this book since I've already read the 1st and 3rd book in this series. There was some mention of the couple that was in the 1st book, but I didn't feel confused because I did read it out of order. I feel that this book could be read as a standalone.

I really enjoyed all the aspects of this book. The story was well-written, I liked the BDSM/domestic discipline aspect of the story. In fact, one of Renee Rose's books was what got me to discover and enjoy reading about the domestic discipline subgenre of the BDSM genre.

Spicy, hot, spanking fun! I will be looking for more works from this author!

Ok, I enjoyed Mob MIstress. Bobby's inner dialogue showed a softer side than the tough, in control outward appearance he gave. I enjoyed his banter with his daughters. However, with Lexi, I didn't get to know her..aside from being a hairdresser, I didn't get much of a sense of who she is.
Insta sexy times, that are written well. I look forward to reading the next in this series

I liked this book, but thought that there could've been more character and plot development. While Bobby and Lexi have amazing chemistry and lots of sexy times, it felt strange that they just jumped into a relationship right off the bat. Notwithstanding this, I thought the book was good overall.

This was my first book by this author. I didn't know what to expect going into it, but I did enjoy it. The characters were well developed, and while not "good guys" were likable. I liked that it was slightly humorous as well as sizzling hot. I look forward to reading more by this author.

I love Renne Rose and she has written an awesome erotic piece here. I loved it, even more than the first book in the series,even more than anything she has written before. One I would love to have in paperback to flick to my favourite moments again and again, so hot so many butterflies. Submission done so beautifully
My only quibble is the ending was rushed

I enjoyed this book. It's not often you read a book with a Magia character that doesn't focus on the typical mafia crime dealings and crimes scenes. This book proves you don't need the violence

'Mob Mistress' by Renee Rose Is Book Two in "The Bossman" Series. This is the story of Lexi Tyler and Bobby Manghini. I haven't read the previous book "The Bossman" so for me this was a standalone book.
Lexi is having money trouble after having a bunch of doctor bills which has put her behind on her rent and her shop rent. Her friend Gina, who manages the Plush nightclub. Gina said a regular named Bobby would make a good "Sugar Daddy' for her. Bobby doesn't want to get married again and likes having mistress who he can put up in apartments and when he is done with them he can just leave...not attachments He finds Lexi beautiful and takes her on to be his "Sugar Baby". They have a hot and heavy relationship but they are both starting to have feeling for the other.
Loved this book!!!

This was a hot read . Very sexy with some bdsm elements. Enjoyed this story!

Was this review helpful?

Bobby is a Mafia boss, he meets Lexi at a nightclub and makes a deal with her. Lexi is a hairdresser and has financial stress. Bobby wants Lexi to be his submissive mistress even though it goes against her beliefs she does agree as she really doesn’t have a choice. Lexi does like he has a lot of old school ways. But after awhile Levi finds out Bobby lies to her and she walks away. I loved this book for the most part and also the plot. Although I got a little confused in some parts, the twists and turns with Bobby and Lexi are awesome so characters were great. You have to enjoy reading about BDSM relationships just so you know. I recommend.

Was this review helpful?

Those who loves Soprano, The Bossman Series, is a kinky version of it with less killing and just as much family politics. Lexi is a tight spot. No matter what she does, she can't seem to get out from under her debt. When her best friend jokes about being a mistress to a rich man, Lexi is horrified and laughs it off. When Lexi is kicked out of her apartment due to missing rent too many times, her best friend takes matter into her own hands. Lexi is introduced to Bobby Manghini at a night club. Embarrassed, Lexi wants to hide in shame, only to find herself charmed by his old school gentleman ways.

The characters in this story are endearing. Lexi is the girl next door. She's pretty average in every way. She's also low maintenance which is ideal for a man who doesn't want any complications. Bobby Manghini is done with relationships. Owning a mistress is not only his kink, but it allows him to keep her in a nice and neat box. He also enjoys playing the sugar daddy part so there is no harm no foul in this set up. Lexi and Bobby both know going into it, what it is they will be getting out of it.

The conflict in this story is a bit confusing to me. I guess it's because I'm not one who was interested in marriage. Lexi knows upfront she's a highly paid whore. For her to be upset about Bobby's marital status makes no sense to me. Regardless of his marital status, he wanted and paid for a woman willing to be skull fucked and take it up the ass when he wanted it. Her feelings are irrelevant. This isn't a relationship of that kind. It's a business transaction and her reaction, I found to be rather insulting. The story makes it out for Bobby to be in the wrong. Especially when Lexi's friend explained the agreement up front, how could it be interpreted any other way?

“I know he’s sugar daddy material because his last mistress can’t get over him. She hangs out all the time hoping to run into him and wheedle her way back into his wallet. According to her, he put her in a fancy apartment and gave her cash every time they were together.”

“So basically, she was a whore.”

“Yeah... maybe. But he’s totally hot. I’d do him for a fancy apartment in a heartbeat if I were single.”(Kindle loc. 59-63)

After this conversation, how can there be any misunderstandings? When Bobby says, "open your mouth", Lexi should open it wide and start sucking. When he orders, "bend over", she need to bend over and pull her butt checks apart and be dripping wet. After a while, I am a bit disappointed with Lexi because she changes the rules on Bobby and makes him pay for it.

Now, there is nothing wrong with Lexi feeling the way she did. For her to feel wronged, that is where I'm not understanding. And this is where Lexi comes across as an immature petty bitch. She demonstrates her lack of ability to communicate like a mature human being. This is why the story became a bit of a letdown for me. I understand the need for this in order to create the conflict and bring about a happy ever after. I just didn't like it - personal preference.
The kinky parts to this story is fabulous. The way Lexi is treated really rocks my boat. Bobby is no pussy whipped dominant until near the end. He knows what he likes and he takes it. Lexi gets off of it too which makes the erotic sex appealing. Ms. Rose does an excellent job with the sex and the characters. Even if I didn’t how they behaved, it is well written. Recommended for kinky readers who fantasize about being a dirty little side piece to a sugar daddy.

So, this is my very first actual spanking book. Sure, I've read romances that have erotic spankings, but I've never read one where there is actual discipline. Guess I am spanking virgin lol...well not so much anymore! I thought the chemistry between Lexi and Bobby was very intense. I guess I'm not a mafia book reader either it was just so strange to me the way needing a sugar daddy was discussed openly. Of course, this is fiction. so I have no idea whether this is normal behavior or not. For the sake of the story, let's just say that it is.

I don't mean for this review to sound negative because I liked Renee Rose's story. I just couldn't get past the spanking with the belt, wooden spoon, and hairbrush. In one way, it sounds very sexy in theory, but in reality, i was spanked by a belt as a child...It's not an experience I ever want to repeat. Although I realize everyone likes sex their own way.

I really think that both of them cared about each other. I don't really understand Bobby's reason to act like he was married and I felt like Lexi's response was way overboard. But, it ended well, although since I am a romantic, I wish they would have ended the book by getting married. Oh well, I will just watch for the next book in the series. I enjoyed the book even though it took me out of my comfort zone. That's the beauty of books though, right?

Good book!

Was this review helpful?

Finding this book was such a pleasant surprise for me, because I really did enjoy Bossman. I wasn’t aware that another in this ‘married to the mob’ series was written, and when I found it, I had to devour it in one night.

I liked Lexi, even if I did find her somewhat unrealistic. She had gotten herself into a bad financial situation through no fault of her own, and saw a sugar daddy relationship with Bobby as her only way out. However, for someone who never did anything like this before, she jumped into a relationship with Bobby very quickly and with no sense of self preservation as to getting in bed with the mafia. However, she was likable and I rooted for her relationship to work out.

But for me, what really made this story was Bobby. He came off at first as the stereotypical Italian macho type guy, but seeing things from his point of view, his interactions with his teenage daughters, understanding his desire for his kink and the reasons he enjoyed the “goomah” relationship he wanted with Lexi, I was able to view him as less of a mobster and more of a loving (if somewhat spanky) guy. He was sweet and intense and genuinely wanted to take care of Lexi.

While I am loving this series, I do realize that it may only appeal to a small subset of those into reading BDSM. This wasn’t focused on the bondage so much as the power exchange and spanking. A lot of spanking. But both Bobby and Lexi enjoyed it, so it always remained in the realm of safe, sane and consensual.

If you haven’t read Bossman, it’s certainly worth going back and reading. However, it is not necessary to understand this story. Sophie and Joey, the main characters in the first book, do make a few appearances here, but reading their romance first is not a requirement to fully enjoying Mob Mistress.

I truly loved this book. I liked the characters, I liked the relationship, and the sex was unbelievably hot hot hot! The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that it ended. I wanted more time with Bobby! I’d even be willing to risk a punishment to get it…

Mob Mistress is the second book in the Bossman romance/domestic discipline series. It is a decently written and well edited novel.

I enjoyed the Hero and his POV. He was a mature, well established man, that knows what he wants and goes after it. Unfortunately, the heroine was immature and lacked cohesiveness.

The plot was basic, but could have been more entertaining if the conflict point had been something to be conflicted about. Instead it was just the h overreacting.

This would have been a two star rating if not for the sex scenes. They were well written and, frankly, hot.

Even though MM is part of a series it reads well as a stand alone. If you are looking for a light, easy domestic discipline book, then I recommend Mob Men.

'Mob Mistress' is delicious little spicy meatball in the Mafia Romance category. Hairstylist, Lexi Tyler needs control of her finances and career. Mobster Bobby Manghini is in control of his “lifestyle” and of his women. When introduced though friend, Gina, they start a no-strings "sugar daddy"/”goomah” relationship. The chemistry between Bobby and Lexi is white hot. But after several steamy nights of discipline and sex, as well as run-ins with family, an Ex and the Feds, their arrangement deepens into much more than either Lexi or Bobby could have imagined. A sizzling fun read peppered with just the right amount of adorable.

I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley for my honest review. This is the first book that I have read from Renee Rose and I liked it. Reading the description I did not know if it would be my cup of tea but the story line and romantic scenes were very well written.

Renee Rose did a good job of breaking down the two characters so that not only do you understand why Lexi is in the financial situation that she is in but exactly why Bobby likes to play the Sugar daddy. I love books like this where a relationship starts one way with strict boundaries and then blossoms into something that can not be contained by simple rules.

Bobby is a man who likes to be in control when it comes to his business and especially when it comes to the bedroom. In the bedroom Bobby wants submission from his partners and in return he gives them everything they could ever dream of.

Lexi finds herself in a financial situation that is quickly spiraling out of control. Her best friend introduces her to Bobby and all of her old troubles go away but a whole lot of new ones keeping popping up left and right.

I can honestly say that I have never read a mobster romance but I am glad that I read this one. It's extremely hot in the bedroom and very emotional outside of it. It really is great book, Renee Rose did a great job. I will definitely keep an out for her next book and recommend this to my friends.

Bobby he's a really nice guy he knows how to take care of himself and what's his, "if things work out between us, and you become my sugar baby. I will handle all your problems. I always take care of what's mine." He is an a** man and his girl has a nice one, "he leaned over and smacked her a** again, hard enough to make her yelp. "You'd better watch out, little girl, or I'll give you a real taste of authority." I liked this book the only question I really had was hold old is bobby and Lexi? Other than that question I enjoyed this book probably more than the first one in the series, this one seemed to have more depth and I liked that.

Karia’s thoughts…
Okay, I need to be clear: The idea of walking up to “known” mofia dude and offering to be his fee for service goomah is ludicrous. But, once you suspend your sense of preservation and belief…this was a fun, flirty and flat out hard core sexy book. Please note the publishers warning…everything is true and then some!

Lexi is fun and flirty and because of a car accident, she homeless, penniless and sinking fast. Bobby is the sorta clean cousin to the Don and he runs a successful construction and real estate empire. With twin 19-yr daughters, Bobby likes to keep his personal life and women kept very separate…ensuring that his non-vanilla lifestyle is rich and plentiful. Unknown to Lexi, she transmits submissive like a homing beacon that Bobby cannot ignore. Jumping in to take advantage of her desperation, Bobby inserts himself into her problems and makes that almost all disappear. The cost? Her. Bobby wants to own her. I don’t believe I need to give you any more…hot Italian Mafioso and feisty long legged suppressed submissive…Done! Enjoy!

Mob Mistress by Renee Rose was the first book I've read by this author and something about it sucked me in. I read it all in one sitting and couldn't put it down. The characters were well written and believable, but not over the top when it came to the mob aspect. I like that Lexi didn't want to be a kept woman, but realized she needed to in order to survive. Bobby really cared for Lexi, but I didn't particularly care for his form of discipline. Spankings are fine, but a couple of times they got too intense and I found myself cringing for Lexi. Overall this was a good book, and I give it 4 stars. It does have some aspects that might make certain readers uncomfortable, but I really enjoyed the book and will be reading more from this author.

This book even though its kind of short it did deliver a full story. Like they say good things come in small packages. Renee Rose this was a fantastic book. I hope to here more from Bobby& Lexi. Really enjoyed them both.

Lexi finds her self in a bind. Her friend fixes her up with a mobster. He preposition her to his sugar baby. She accepts, he gives her rules. Then the lines start to blur and they start to get feeling for each other.

Bobby is the total Alpha male. Which makes me like him but he can also be a straight up a**. He is a control freak, like to keep business and his bedroom if separate. He is use to getting what he wants from his partners and will reciprocate by giving to them financially.

I've read books like this before but, I really enjoyed reading this one. It was a roller coaster of emotions and wow amazing in the bedroom.

I loved reading the exciting and enthralling romance story. Lexi Tyler's sugar daddy ends up being the handsome, sexy Mobster Bobby Manghini. As Lexi and Bobby become closer and feelings develop, Bobby continues the charade letting Lexi believe he is married. When Lexi finds out Bobby is not married, she feels used and hurt. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written erotic romance, and a must read love story.
