His Little Angel

The Morelli Brothers #3

by Tati Hayes

The Morelli men don’t resist. They take. They devour… it’s in their blood.

But Enzo Morelli tried to fight it. Mila had been at his side for three years—his assistant, unseen, ignored, even as she burned for him. She longed to be his curse, his undoing, but he kept her at arm’s length.

Until she walked away.

The obsession he tried to bury tore through him. Darker than he ever imagined. Now, every thought, every move, every breath belongs to her. He’ll claim. He’ll mark. He’ll own—in ways that leave no part of her untouched. He had refused to see that she was his sweet damnation, but now it was impossible to hide. Can he win her back before she’s gone for good?

The third standalone dark romance novella in the Morelli Brothers series, where each brother is more unhinged, more addicted, and more obsessed than the one before

this book was absolutely ridiculous in the best way 😂😂😂
it was VERY fast burn, Enzo went from rigid cold asshole to ott obsessive possessive REAL FAST, like literally overnight .
i appreciate that Mila pushed him at first, treating him like he treated her for 3 years.
the " i don't believe in love. i don't want to love, love is bad because i had a bad childhood " trope is SEVERELY overdone especially when the MC is a grown ass man.
But honestly, I didn't care because I didn't take this book seriously.It was more comedic relief than anything😂😂
i mean, the man freaking stole her glasses. wore them and jerked off to them, and asked her to sign his dick and balls for fuck's sake😂😂😂😂

safety:
- Safe
- no cheating
- he's been celibate for 8 years and only been with 3 women. he said the sex was good but not worth the hassel of making the women sign contracts and NDAs so he just stopped.
- Im assuming Mila was celibate for the 3 years she worked for him but it wasn't mentioned
- no owd, omd : a guy called luke was interested in Mila, he was genuinely super nice and sweet but backed off when he saw she was with Enzo, i actually felt super bad for him and how both Mila and Enzo treated him

This might be my favorite of the series. Mostly because the FMC made him work for it after she’s been pining for him for years. I do wish they would have gotten together sooner. I usually don’t mind this but there was too much OM drama for me. This OM showed up every freaking where. I was thinking he had some nefarious plans for our girl because it couldn’t be a coincidence that he just kept ending up in the same place as her over and over and over again. But no he was just always there. And I think that’s why he bugged me so much. Every time he came around I was like ugh go somewhere, you’re not Enzo! Lol. Anyway Enzo took a minute to realize his obsession but once he did he went full force. I wish his touch aversion was fleshed out more. He mentions it once and then it’s never brought up again.

There were some parts that were meant to show how obsessed his was that I thought were a little out there. Like him saying he stole her glasses and wore them while he jacked off thinking about her. I was like ummm what??? lol

The ending wrapped up way too quickly. They were fighting and then the next chapter is the epilogue. Didn’t quite work for me.

I’m surprised there’s another brother. He’s never mentioned!! I’ll definitely read the next one.

No cheating
No OW drama
OM drama (she lets the guy do a body shot off her, goes on a date and pecks him on the lips, I didn’t care for the guy he seemed sketch to me)
No third act break up
Non Virgin FMC
CELIBATE MMC (8 years, has only had sex with 3 women)
HEA (married with kids)

Ridiculous is a good word for this

“His Little Angel” is the story of Mila and Enzo.

Boss/ Secretary romance with a madly in love heroine and a hero who denies his feelings.
This book has much better character building and plot than the previous books, but it frustrated me how much time they spent apart because the hero kept pushing her away and she kept dating and sleeping with other men.

Also I’m glad when they get together, it doesn’t have more drama but it had a few issues that irked me.

Unsafe
2/5

His Little Angel is a fast burn, Grumpy boss x effective assistant romance. Mila has been working for Enzo for 3 years. She fell in love with him and realised he will never reciprocate her love so she decided to resign.

When Enzo realised she was leaving him for good, he went from grumpy boss to over possessive man. Apparently there is a curse in his family where their loves turn to obsession and they cannot live without their women. After Enzo saw his father succumb to that, he didn’t want any women in his life. He thought he could kept Mila in his world orbiting around himself without claiming her as his.

I love that Mila made Enzo worked for her back. She treated him so rudely like he treated her when they started working together. Bruh, the man was so obsessed with her, he made her sign his balls 🙈

A wonderful palate cleanser!!

"I fell like I'm going to fall apart," I whisper.
"Good, let yourself fall apart. Then get up. And go live. Go out. Go dancing. Go kiss someone who looks at you like you're a miracle, not like you're another item on his damn schedule."

" My pulse beats her name.
My thoughts aren't thoughts anymore- just fractured pieces of Mila.
Who the fuck am I now, if not something that exists because she breathes?"

"Your home is beautiful. It's like... a fortress."
"It's yours," I growl. "All of it. My bank accounts? Yours. Every cent I've scraped together, every investment, every fucking dime- it's all for you now. My life? Yours to command. To ruin, if you want."

DNF @50%
Don’t even waste your time. I honestly thought all the bad reviews would be lying based on all the cute little scenes I saw on TikTok, but alas they were definitely not wrong. This book was actually just so terrible and I had to stop reading after this corporate goody two shoes FMC let some random man do a body shot off of her for absolutely no reason. That threw me for a loop and I was just done. The writing was so off and honestly the MMC got on my nerves bc he loved the FMC, but won’t even tell her how important she is to him. No cute scene from TikTok is worth this crap. AVOIDDDDD!

It's 2 for writing it. Short, fast and a tiktok recommendation... I have to stop listening to tiktok...

[Lydia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quick. No nonsense & rambling. Exactly how I like a book to quickly heal me from a reading slump.
---
Mila, the secretary of Enzo - decides to resign after realising her feelings will never be conveyed/ reciprocate by her boss.
And like a switch has been flip on, Enzo's family curse activates & spirals him into nothing but an obsessive, broody CEO. Terrorising Mila and her newly-appointed secretary.

I didn't like it at all, don't believe what booktok says that it's a very good book.
The whole series contains books with very few pages, with poorly developed and inconsistent plots, I waited so long for the last book to disappoint me in the end.

6-7. The Morelli Brothers. His Little Muse. His Little Doll. His Little Angel by Tati Hayes (104, 95, 137)

genres: dark romance mafia romance

ranking: solidly good, nothing more, a dependable read 6.5/10

main emotion: Ridiculous

the first line: "Perfect. Composed. Professional."

sum-up in one sentence: a nice palate cleanser

I am grateful to this series for ... proof, that people can change only if they want and only a tad.

this book has taught me ... love is hiding in small details, like the coffee made in the morning.

notes: this is a ridiculous enough series, too obsessed, too extreme

I love Aurora's feelings while dancing ballet, Anya's thoughts on stripping, and Mila's work ethic. Each girl is unique and intelligent. The men are driven, passionate and ready to beg and kill, not cute at all.

[Harmeen]

I rarely ( very rarely) read novellas but I got influenced by watching a few tiktoks about this book. The most disappointing thing is that the things that I watched in those videos are the only things happening in the first 50%. There’s nothing else. Those are the major scenes in the first 50%. The second 50% is just bad smut.

Overall it’s just him realizing he loves her and then trying to bulldoze into her life.

I LOVE possessive men, I love it when they’re obsessive. This guy was acting unhinged in a cringy way.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Adorei como ela se vingou e o tratou da mesma forma fria e rude que ele a tratava durante 3 anos. O único ponto negativo é que tudo aconteceu muito rápido. Recomendo a leitura! É um livro pequeno e lê-se facilmente num dia.
Sem traição e sem owd!!!

I loved how she got her revenge and treated him just as cold and rude as he had treated her for 3 years. The only downside is that everything happened very quickly. I recommend reading it! It’s a short book and can be finished in a day.
No cheating and no owd!!!

[reshi · Rating 2 out of 5]

I saw a scene on tiktok and i got interested but it was basic and short really short. it was corny and weird but why i liked it a little well enough to finish it. i would never recommend this book to anyone tho
it has tm smut scenes for a short book for my liking, 3 years working together and nothing happened like boi lol he too childish too, couldn’t control himself like get to work make money idk he’s really incompetent he should learn to control his emotions. i hate when men can’t do shit themselves.

- no owd
- hea
- no cheating
- ceo x assistant
- jealous mmc
- incompetent mmc
- strong stubborn fmc
- groveling
- billionaire romance

This one was ridiculously crazy—and I think it’s my favorite of the series. Mila completely stole the show. I loved how she made Enzo work for it after she left and he finally realized how deeply he loved her. Watching that realization hit him was so satisfying.

Seeing Enzo lose his composure and control over Mila? Absolute chef’s kiss. That man was gone, and I loved every second of it.

I truly loved reading all three books, and now I’m impatiently waiting for the fourth brother 😍😍

[Ims · Rating 4 out of 5]

I went into this book completely blind. I saw it was just a bit over 100 pages and thought oh great short book probably boring, probably full of plot holes but color me surprised. I actually really really enjoyed it!

The story was engaging, the characters pulled me in, and I finished it way faster than I expected. I would happily give it 5 stars, but honestly it was too short for me I wanted so much more. Definitely a quick, enjoyable read that leaves you wishing it was longer.

[Jane · Rating 5 out of 5]

i really loved reading this despite it being ridiculous. it gave me a taste of the excitement and fluttery feeling i felt when reading wattpad stories.

-the mmc was FERAL. COMPLETELY FERAL
-the jealousy scenes were 🤌🏻
-the fmc was the only one who could calm him down
-no OW drama AT ALL. loved the OM drama because it was necessary

[𝑨𝒂𝒔𝒉 ۶ৎ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The shortest read of the year😂🫶🏻

Tropes:
Obsessive MMC
Crazy in love with each other
Grumpy X sunshine
Workplace romance
Boss X assistant
Billionaire Romance

Kicking off my 2026 reads with something short and contemporary. This was way better than I expected. I clearly have a thing for obsessive, filthy rich, down-bad men 😆 And honestly, for me, the length of this book was perfect for a full romance.

[Camila Passuni · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was ok.

Enzo was a little bit weird and out of nowhere he was so possessive of Mila. In the book he says that he was always this way but he just hold back, this didn’t make sense. It felt like the author just wanted to go fast and make it as short as possible.

[gianna♛‧˚ · Rating 2 out of 5]

if I had to describe this book in one word, it would be ridiculous 🤣.
I blinked and I already finished the book.
It wasn't the worst but not the best, I think this book lacked a lot of the chemistry, the burn and other things I was looking for!

[Wishy Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short, sweet, possessive, insta love, longing, burn the world for her and spicy. *chefs kiss. I’ll be reading the rest of the series for sure
