Nothing came easy for Serene Night. Driven by revenge, she gained power and influence by turning gangs against each other and then taking them over. As a mafia boss herself, she's one step closer to defeating the Godfather, the man who created her. Will her desire for vengeance be appeased, or will she find something else worth fighting for?
Through sheer strength, extreme loyalty, and bare fists, Dean None exists only to obey orders and protect his master. Having no ambitions and desires of his own, he's the Dog. Will he find a purpose in life other than serving his master?
Excerpt:
The sound of a door opening immediately put Dean on high alert, ready to attack if necessary.
“Easy now. You don’t want to hurt your new master.”
Serene came closer and placed a glass of water on the nightstand. She stood there, watching his coiled muscles relaxing before she took a seat on a chair.
“Gacy Crowder is no longer your master. My name is Serene Night. You will call me Boss. Do you feel better?”
“Yes, Boss.”
“Then get out of bed and let me have a look at my new possession.”
Dean obeyed and stood up in front of her, wearing nothing more than the bandages on his torso.
Her eyes scrolled over every ridge of his muscles while he stared at the wall above her head.
Review:
Helen Bold’s Mafia Boss and Her Dog is a visceral plunge into the underworld of blood-soaked loyalty, power plays, and the twisted intimacy between predator and protector. This steamy dark romance doesn’t tiptoe around its genre—it dives headfirst into the grit, violence, and erotic tension that define mafia fiction, delivering a tale as brutal as it is seductive.
At its heart is Serene Night, a mafia boss forged in vengeance and tempered by ruthless ambition. She’s not just strong, she’s a force of nature cloaked in silk and steel. Her acquisition of Dean None, a fighter known for his unflinching obedience and terrifying efficiency, sets the stage for a relationship that blurs the lines between ownership and connection, dominance and desire.
Bold’s prose is cinematic and unapologetically sensual. The opening chapter, set in a bloodsport arena masquerading as fine dining, is a masterclass in tone-setting. The juxtaposition of gourmet indulgence with gladiatorial violence creates a decadent, dystopian atmosphere where human lives are currency and loyalty is bought with blood. Serene’s entrance—red gown, million-dollar suitcase, and ice-cold gaze—is pure femme fatale fantasy, but with a twist: she’s not here to seduce. She’s here to claim.
Dean, the titular “dog,” is a study in controlled brutality. His loyalty is chilling, his emotional detachment almost clinical. Yet Bold teases out the tension in his obedience, hinting at a deeper yearning beneath the surface. The dynamic between Serene and Dean is electric, charged with power imbalance, eroticism, and the slow unraveling of identity. Their interactions are laced with dominance and submission, but never fall into cliché. Instead, Bold crafts a psychological dance where every glance, command, and touch carries weight.
What sets this novel apart is its refusal to soften its edges. The violence is graphic, the sexuality intense, and the emotional stakes high. Serene’s quest for revenge against the Godfather who created her is more than a plot device; it’s a crucible through which her humanity is tested. Dean’s journey from tool to man is equally compelling, raising questions about agency, purpose, and the cost of devotion.
Mafia Boss and Her Dog is not for the faint of heart. It’s a dark, decadent ride through a world where loyalty is earned in blood. But for readers who crave morally complex characters, sizzling tension, and a heroine who doesn’t flinch, Helen Bold delivers a story that bites and doesn’t let go.

Until a storm brought him Yelune.
She entered his life like an unpredictable wave, leaving Yevran with no choice but to be drawn to her. And the hope in his heart, long dead, sparked back to life.

Ashamed after yet another tragic love story, Yelune decided to end her life by jumping into the sea during a massive storm that struck her town.
But instead of dying, she found herself aboard the Night Veil, the legendary pirate ship captained by Yevran Vaelthrone, the cursed pirate doomed to sail the seas for eternity.
Yet when Yelune met him in person, rather than feeling afraid, in his curse, she saw her own—a cursed being, denied a second chance.
But she could not allow herself to fall into his arms, because she hated pirates, as they once took the life of her loved one.
Review:
Sianida_Cloud’s In the Arms of the Cursed Pirate is a sweeping fantasy romance that blends myth, melancholy, and maritime magic into a tale of fated love and emotional reckoning. With its richly imagined world and emotionally scarred leads, the novel delivers a story that is as stormy and seductive as the sea itself.
The novel introduces us to Yelune Marrivelle, a woman branded by society as cursed after a string of failed romances that culminated in a humiliating betrayal on her wedding day. Her fiancé not only abandons her at the altar but also steals her family’s fortune, leaving Yelune to face the wrath of her family.
From the start of the novel, the author masterfully captures Yelune’s descent from heartbreak to hopelessness as she flees into a storm, intending to end her life.
But fate has other plans.
Yelune is swept aboard the Night Veil, a legendary pirate ship captained by Yevran Vaelthrone, the cursed pirate king doomed to sail the seas until he finds true love.
Yevran, once hopeful and charismatic, has grown weary after centuries of disappointment. Yet when Yelune crashes into his world, the spark of possibility flickers anew. Their connection is immediate yet fraught: Yelune despises pirates, blaming them for the death of a loved one, while Yevran sees in her the one soul who might finally break his curse.
Sianida_Cloud’s prose is vivid, painting the sea as both a setting and a symbol of something wild, unforgiving, and full of secrets. The tags #pirate, #forcedproximity, #fatedlove, and #mythology are not just genre markers; they’re thematic pillars that shape the emotional core of the story.
What elevates the novel is its emotional intelligence. Yelune is not simply a damsel in distress; she’s a woman reclaiming her agency in a world that has repeatedly tried to silence her. Yevran, for all his power, is a man haunted by loneliness and longing. Together, they navigate not just storms and curses, but the fragile hope of healing.
Our verdict: In the Arms of the Cursed Pirate is a beautifully wrought tale of redemption and romance, perfect for readers who crave emotional depth wrapped in fantasy adventure.

Review:
MC Rose’s Flames of Revenge ignites with betrayal, burns with ambition, and smolders with a romance that refuses to be extinguished.
This steamy contemporary novel plunges readers into the emotional wreckage of Valentina Carter’s life, only to rise from the ashes with a vengeance-fueled love story that’s as intoxicating as it is empowering.
This novel begins with a gut-wrenching heartbreak. Valentina, a woman of grace and quiet strength, is blindsided by her husband Douglas Harrington’s cruel betrayal. The scene unfolds with cinematic precision: her hopeful packing for a surprise getaway, the chilling arrival of Douglas and his mistress Angela, and the brutal revelation of divorce papers and a stolen home. Rose’s prose is visceral and unflinching, capturing the suffocating weight of betrayal with devastating clarity.
But Flames of Revenge is not just a tale of heartbreak; it’s a phoenix story.
Enter William Blackwood, Douglas’s rival, who offers Valentina more than just a chance to reclaim her dignity. Their alliance is forged in strategy and fueled by a chemistry that crackles with tension. As Valentina transforms from discarded wife to formidable partner, readers are swept into a high-stakes game of power, secrets, and seduction.
Rose masterfully balances emotional depth with sizzling romance. Valentina’s evolution, from a woman shattered by love to one who dares to love again, is both cathartic and inspiring. William, enigmatic and calculating, becomes the unexpected balm to her wounds, challenging her to trust again as they plot Douglas’s downfall.
The novel’s themes—revenge, resilience, and rediscovery—are woven with elegance and heat. Rose doesn’t shy away from the darker corners of ambition or the raw vulnerability of healing. Instead, she invites readers to revel in the fire, to root for Valentina not just to win, but to rise and to build something beautiful from the embers.
Flames of Revenge is a seductive triumph. With its unforgettable heroine, ruthless villains, and a love story born in the crucible of betrayal, it’s a must-read for fans of emotionally charged, high-drama romance.
