He comes from crime and my father is committed to bringing justice.
The family was part of his investigation and that boy from high school took my heart for himself.
I never knew a love like that but it wasn’t real. He had ulterior motives and my heart was caught in his game.
He played it and me so well.
When he walks into my business with no apology and that cocky smile years later I’m stuck.
It’s like I’m back in high school and every feeling goes through my body.
I know he’s trouble, but not the common street thug kind.
He’s a political powerhouse and he looks even better than he did last time I saw him.
He has baggage and it could cost me more than I’m willing to give.
Enforced Love is a steamy bwwm romance that is not appropriate for readers under 18.
Enforced Love (The Power Players, #1) Reviews
-
I really enjoyed Eden and Simone's story. Simone is from a powerful, billionaire Italian DeSerra Crime family. He is suppose to stay away from Eden. He and his family had destroyed and mulipulated Eden's father by using her as bate. Noble as he is call was a FBI agent that was coming after the DeSerra Crime famly.
Years later Simone runs into Eden at her Garden Store, she is now the owner of Eden's Gardens. Eden doesn't want to have anything to due with Simone. Simone has realized that the sexual chemistry he has always had with Eden needs to be exlpored. Wow this is a very erotic story. Especially when they start having hot descriptive sex. It was NOT Raunchy but it was Erotic.
Simone is a real alpha male. He defies his family to be with Eden. He will even kill for Eden. His loves shines right through. He adores her and he would die for her. Eden adores Simone just as much. These two just are soul mates and it comes through in the storytelling.
There are great secondary characters. A crazy ex wife. Oh she gets her just due!! I was clapping my hands. Then someone has kidnapped Eden. This is the part I liked but and I din't like. I don't like it when females are beaten and kicked. She was NOT raped so that I did like. I just don't like abuse.
The other problem I had was Eden and Simones back story if they were so much in love and she is still fanatizing wishing she had let him take her virgintity. Instead she gave that honor to someone else. The story would have read better if it had been Simone who she had given her virginity too. It would have given them a better connection in the beginning of the book. I had to push through the very beginning because there had been no real physical connetion between them in the past. But boy do that make up for it.
Overall this was a Very Good Read!! -
Love the DeSerra brothers!
I actually started this series with Book 4. No need to read in order but this was my third book I read in this series and I really enjoyed it so I recommend to read all of them! These men are passionate alphas trying to regain the hearts of past loves. Niya James is great at writing love scenes and describing the longing within her characters. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and can't wait to jump into Marcello and Regime's story! -
A suspenseful love story!
I love reading who done it stories and this one did not disappoint. Eden Noble and Simone De Sera broke up years ago because of Simone's sketchy family business. Simone's relationship turned into something he was not expecting to happen. In the process, he broke Eden's heart. Years had past and they both moved on with their lives, or had they. They never really forgot about each other. With their unexpected meeting in Eden's Garden store, Simone was determined not to let her get away again despite the promises he made to his uncle, the Don of the family. Simone kept one crucial detail from Eden and turned out to be his undoing and threw Eden into the path of an unexpected and unknown enemy of her father.
I just knew the ex wife had something to do with the predicament Eden was in. I was shocked to find out that it had nothing to do with the De Sera family. One never knows when an enemy will come back to bite you. But in this case, they found out that revenge is best served as a road paved straight to hell. Don't stand between a made man and the woman he loves and getting his HEA with her. You will lose every time. This was a good read.I love reading who done it stories and this one did not disappoint.

I could not put this book down, I just had to know how things would work out! It is a second chance love story made difficult by betrayal in the past, half truths, a meddeling mob family and a crazy ex-wife! It is a well written story that is easy to follow even with the twists and turns, for once I didn't feel a 100% sure about the outcome even though it says in the review of the book that there is a happy ending, it wasn't obvious what kind of happy ending, and I liked it!

Wonderful story
The story of Simone and Eden is one of a lost love. During college they broke up because of their families . Years later Simone unknowingly walks into Eden's flower shop and the feeling bed s they had for each other came rushing back. Then Simone's uncle finds out and told him not to see her anymore. That's when all the fun and action takes place. This is a real good read. I really enjoyed it. -
Beautiful
This book will leave you wondering... and on purpose... the storyline itself is just beautiful...and well written.
I originally received this book as an advanced copy, but I just had to see if the ending was the same cliffhanger. And any opinions expressed within this review are made solely and uniquely made by me and I am happily leaving this review. -
I'm not usually into Mafia family books but Ms. James makes their part not as important than as what’s going on between this Alpha Male and a woman who is strong on her own without a man and how they come together. The plot is well thought out but rushed in a couple areas. All in all it was a satisfying read.
I received this novel as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. -
Very Good
Simone and Eden are a wonderful pair. This story had it all: good chemistry between Eden & Simone (both with strong personalities), a good plot, solid secondary characters and hot sex.
The storyline was engaging and came to an expected conclusion without being trite and sappy. Very good! -
Simone was a cocky alpha that did like being told no, except by his father or uncle, heads of their crime family! Eden was stubborn, but was mostly a pushover when it came to Simone! Danger touched their life, it provided the catalyst to them realizing that they had a connection that was worth fighting to keep! 💞

Simone and Eden
ThiThis is a good story. Simone and Eden found their way back to each other. FaFamily and foe tried to keep them separated but omission of the truth ended it. However, an unfortunate situation amended what was broken and reunited them in the best way. -
Dean's Garden
This book was pretty good it was different from many second chance stories that I have read. The ending was a little strange and didn't make much sense. There was all this buildup with Eden being kidnapped but the ending fell short in my opinion. -
Great Read
This book is really good. This was my first read by this author and I was hooked from the beginning. The story is entertaining and never boring. I'll read more from this author. -
Might Have Found A New Author!
Ok! I'm feeling this vibe she has going...I love how second chances work out for the best. Real love, no matter how hostile can always find a way, despite family, friends, and past enemies. -
