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

Product Information

Don't be fooled though this is dark (please heed the trigger warnings) and it wouldn't be mafia without 🩸Gore and violence.

And him watching the tape of the FL getting raped (they taped it so that was cool just bring up another element of trauma for me) and then deciding that he was protecting her by keeping that from her made me want to flay him before pushing him into a vat of salt and lemon. The grammatical structure of every sentence that comes out of their mouths is so strangely formal and inconsistent with the way people would normally speak. Too pretty to be so utterly vulnerable, alone, and asking for help from the deadliest man in the city–me. But it doesn’t feel believable that she’s not at least THINK about her options – even if she’d conclude that she’s choosing to have the baby. 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.Understands her needs, if it’s pleasure or pain, understands her submission, understands which words he has to say to her, knows how to calm her, knows how to make her understand everything she is capable of. Clay is everything that you'd expect a Don to be - but he does this to protect his family - his brothers, and even then, he is removed from them in a way that you don't truly understand until you read this book.

I've gone back and forth on my rating because while I did enjoy some parts of this book, there was so much that just didn't set right with me.

We really get a sense of who Clay Butcher is in this book and the realationship between him and Fawn is perfection. I've read all of the Kids of the District stories, but Nicci's writing really blew me away this time.

Little miss Fawn arrives out of nowhere and let’s just say she becomes truly important to not only him but his entire family. Clay is a typical dominant alpha-hole, he's nothing special as a hero, I like his brothers better, but he’s not bad, either.Personally, Clay's personality is totally unexpected, alongside his marriage to Aurora I really wasn't sure how much I'd love this book but without any spoilers Nicci has created a dynamic that you won't be to resist.

I'm so fucking tired of the scums of this earth getting away with the horrible shit they do without any repercussions at all. There was a lot that happened in her life that led to where she was but she still came off as very one dimensional and uninteresting. 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. Then in Bronson’s book, his story was okay…but then his girl had a baby with her random evil ex, making THAT ending leave a sour taste in your mouth, too.

I have nothing against a pregnancy plot line, but the way it was done here was unpleasant, AND unrealistic. When a little slip of a girl shows up on Clay’s doorstep looking for her father, he’s taken with her. Blinded by the pain, I squeeze my eyes shut, panting, and howling through the agony, the immense pressure. I like dark books, but there's a difference between dark, and "heavy and sad" and this one is the latter. But with everything that happened and just how disconnected I was from the characters, I'm not sure if I'll read the conclusion.
