“Crash into You by Roni Loren. It was published Jan 2012. It gives a relationship, but the main heroine is going undercover into a BDSM lifestyle to find her sister. An old flame has decided to help her out by infiltrating with the Doms. It is a good read, and will have a sequel by this author.”

My Top Thirteen Most Illicit Bad Boys, Misfits & Mobsters of Romance Books
I recently received this email (from “Em”) and thought to myself, OMG YES!!! I have a TON of awesome suggestions!
Hi Maryse!!! I was wondering if you know of any good mafia/mob/organised crime, bad boys romance type books?? I might drop a comment on your Bad Boys & Rock Stars thread and see if anyone else knows of any too!
In fact, I realized that some of my absolute favorite books involve some “shadier” (yet redeemable) characters. And I’m not just talking my usual tattooed bad boys that still fit within today’s social standards. I’m talking about the disillusioned social outcasts, the extreme nonconformists, the hustlers, and those that make their living on the streets. From the homeless to the richest mob bosses, the high-end escorts to the underground street fighters.
Book Review – Bone Deep by Bonnie Dee
Bone Deep
THIS was an absolute find! What a treasure of a book, and even though it’s considered a “short” (248 pages) it was long enough to absolutely consume me for quite a few hours, and had just enough of everything for me to be 100% focused completely on this story. Now it wasn’t the first time I heard about it. When I raved about “Finding Home” (that unorthodox story had me riveted) many chimed in and let me know that Bonnie Dee had a few other gripping tales up her sleeve. This being one that was most often recommended.
Book Review – Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost
Once Burned: A Night Prince Novel
So…. I liked it, overall. *nods* Vlad was one I was anxiously looking forward to. His quick sarcastic wit, his biting comments (that still made me laugh), his issues with Bones, and especially his ability to connect deeply with those he cares about. Almost as if he was, in his own way, looking to be loved. The many moments he was there for Cat in the past… yep. Cinched it for me. Vlad was scary and dangerous, but there was something almost heartbreaking (or heartbroken) about him, and he was so real to me.
