Nikki Belaire's latest novella gives you exactly what she promises if your short on time. Virgin female is given in exchange for her fathers debt, Mafia boss sees female is going to marry his terrible cousin and decides he wants her. Boss has cousin taken away and female is left at the altar. Boss takes female, lots of sex, I love you and then a walk down the isle with a baby bump the end. As you can see short and to the point.

Macy the Mouse has always been the obedient girl- even when she didn't want to. But she keeps reminding herself that she's doing this for her family. Luckily for her-Reece- the vicious mob boss is there to be her knight in shinning armor, or is he? Insta-love at it's best. Despite it being a short novella, it's meaty with plenty of passion, heat and sexy times! Ride along to see how Reece teaches Macy a thing or two on love and makes sure to show her that he will be her protector from now on. Kara~4 Hot Stars

This was a short quick read that I liked. Reece Diavolo is called the devil he is a mafia boss. While at his cousin's wedding he sees the bride and knows that he has to have her. Macy Shaw is called the mouse to her face. Macy is relieved that the groom didn't show up until she realizes her savior is even more dangerous than the groom. Reece wants her and will do anything to keep her safe. This was a good and my first time reading this author. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Wow! What a deliciously, dirty novella that you won’t put down until you finish the last word! Macy is supposed to marry someone out of obligation until Reece, a mob boss, sets his sights on her. Macy is a young girl fulfilling an obligation that she wants no part of. When Reece basically comes to her rescue, she instantly becomes infatuated with him. Some may say their relationship was fast, but when you know the right person comes along, grab with both hands and don’t let go! These two characters had such incredible chemistry that the pages burned as you turned them! I really enjoyed this novella and you will to!

Quick novella with some OTT alpha and some steam.

Macy has to marry some guy thanks to her fathers problems she dreading it and hopes maybe things would work out. And they do when she finds out her soon to be fiance left her at the alter and she has to thank Reece for that since he saw her and wanted her even making sure his cousin (he dislikes him) doesn't come between them.

Letting his woman have fun at the after party before making her his. And their relationship goes 0 to 100 ;)

A naughty novella is the perfect way to describe this first book in this new series by Nikki Belaire. Suck is an insta love mafia romance that is full of heat, passion, drama and seduction. It is flirty, sexy and captivating. This might be a quick read but is totally satisfying.

"No worries Macy. Your secret is safe with me. I swear I won't ever tell anyone that you're happy not to be marrying that stupid bastard."

This book was very short and it's not for everyone but it's totally my cup of tea. Suck is a novella with less than 100 pages, so it's no surprise it's insta love romance.

Macy Shaw never wanted to marry her fiance but she loves her family, and for them she would. She always made sure she didn't cause any trouble.

Reece Diavolo didn't want to go to the wedding since he's not big fan of the groom but then he sees her and knows that he wants her.

This book made me crave for more and I was sad that it wasn't longer but I also loved how drama free it was. Macy and Reece fit well for each other in my opinion.

Wowzers!! This book is hot as duck!! Suck may be a short read but it is a read I will for certain be rereading soon.

Reece and Macy have unbelievable chemistry for a couple that really just met. Macy was set to marry someone else, Reece’s cousin, but once Reece laid eyes on her things did not go as planned. Fast forward and darn if it was not on like donkey kong.

There really is not much I can say about Suck because like I said before, it is a short read and I will more than likely give something away. I can say that Reece and Macy are perfect for each other. Reece may be a mob boss but Macy brings out that side of him that mob bosses are not supposed to show. Macy is his weakness.

Nikki pulls out all the stops for this book. It has just the right amount of romance, angst (well not really), sex, chemistry, etc. You name it. Suck is an insta-love kind of story that moves at a fast pace. There is no “let's get to know each other phase” it is straight up “I want to be with you forever” type of book.

I cannot wait for the next book in this series! This book is most definitely worth the one click!

I loved Suck so much. I don't how the author did it but despite only been a novella the story is in no way lacking in quality.

Our hero, Reece comes into save the day by stopping an arranged marriage between his cousin and Macy all because we wants her. It may seem a bit dominating, however he is so sweet with Macy. The real people she needed saving from were her parents, they were all for themselves never mind what their daughter wanted.

Reece and Macy's story is really sweet, but also steamy. Glad they got their HEA

Reece is the mob boss and decides he wants his cousin's bride Macy. Macy is just fulfilling an obligation and she doesn't want the guy she's supposed to marry. She meets Reece and is instantly attracted to him. This is a quick, dirty, excellent mafia read.

Instalove mafia novella. Alpha mob boss steals bride from wedding. I am such a sucker for that particular trope. Short and sweet, there are plenty of ridiculous components but I didn’t care because this was exactly what I wanted. He treats her like his queen and that’s what I’m here for.

Loved everything about this book. OTT j/p mafia boss H and an innocent, inexperienced h.

The h’s miserable parents agree to trade their daughter to cancel out a gambling debt, seriously messed up. Thankfully as she’s walking down the aisle the future groom conveniently turns up missing.


The author does a great job at showing the ruthlessness of the H along with his protective nature. His devotion for the h is aspirational. He worships her and will do anything for her.

Can’t wait to delve into the series further.

This is a very hot, short read. The story gets straight to the point and is exciting and sexy. Mafia boss and virgin make for a very alpha male who softens but only for his angel.

Macy is nicknamed Macy The Mouse; a good girl in a bad world. She is sweet and will do anything for anyone. I really love her character and found myself jealous of her luck at having Reece love her.

Reece takes one look at Macy and it’s a done deal. He’s fallen for her and will do anything to have her... as she walks down the aisle to another man. He turns into Macy’s saviour and a sexy as sin man.

This is a perfect little read that gets the heart beating. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

This is a steamy, very alpha mafia short story that is sure to light up your kindle. I liked that wham-bam aspects of the story and thought it was a fun read. It is one of those that you can devour while waiting in line or just before bed and it will give you wonderful dreams (wink wink). It is a straight to the point story with fun characters with a touch of humor. 3.5 stars. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review.

Contemporary Romance, Novella, Mafia





First Person, Dual-POV





This is book #1 of the Suck, Bang & Blow series. This is a full story with HEA.









Now Macy The Mouse is going to be Mrs. Diavolo The Decisive, just like her husband.

by Macy










I believed this book was going to be the first part of a serial, but it wasn't. So, it was a very sexy, short, fun read with HEA.





As most novellas, the story was completely over the top insta-lust-love-romance. But it was a sexy, fun, 90 minutes read!





HEA romance!!!





28/35 STARS –  4 STARS (between 28 stars and 31 stars)





Addictiveness: 4 Character: 4 Cover: 4 Freshness: 4 Plot: 4 Romance: 4 Writing Style: 4





Action 2/5 Angst 1/5 Darkness 0/5 Humor 2/5 Romance 5/5 Suspense/Mystery 0/5





Would I recommend? Yes, as an in-between read!!!





Would I re-read this book/series? I don't know. I don't usually re-read novellas, but I guess.





Would I read more from the author? I'm looking forward to reading more from her.









Addictiveness: 4/5 This was a fast, sexy, fun read. As addictive as pizza!!!





Character: hero 4/5, heroine 4/5, secondary characters 4/5, growth 4/5, real 3/5 Very likable characters that were fun and sweet.





Macy was a sweet heroine. She was a good daughter and a very naive girl. Because this was a short novella, there was no time to give depth to her as a character.





Reese was a sexy hero. He was the head of the mob at his area, I believe, but because this story was more about the romance than the crime scene, I can't say what sort of boss he was.





Secondary characters I guess her best friend and Ryker could be two interesting characters for a future exploration. Can't say much about anyone else.





Villain/antagonists ... there was no one worth mentioning here.





Even though they were mostly one-dimensional characters , they were easy to love, connect and understand!





Cover: art 4/5, title 5/5, color-font 5/5, buy 5/5  I’m obsessed with book covers. I love to find snippets of the stories within the art. This was a good cover. The art is sexy and the bullet hole hints to a mafia story. The title is very catchy and the background colors are enticing. I would probably buy this book by its cover without needing to read the blurb!!!





Freshness: 4/5 This is filled with clichés, but the over-the-top romance and fast-paced story felt fun and original. As fresh as mint mentos!!!





Plot: believable 2/5, conflict 3/5, dialogue 5/5, ending 4/5, enjoyment 5/5, opening 4/5, pace 5/5, setting 4/5, subplots 3/5, twists 4/5  Great opening with sweet ending. Unbelievable plot, with fun dialogues and amazing pace. Nice setting, interesting subplots with a few twists. Good level of enjoyment!





Romance: believable 3/5, chemistry 5/5, description 5/5, development 3.5/5, steam 4/5  This was a sexy read. Insta romance and growth, but it totally offered some fun times. Hot smut!!!





Writing Style: 4/5 My first time reading this author and I look forward to read a full novel from her. Lovable characters, good plot, sexy romance in a cohesive, clean writing. Good writing!!!









Because I try to be very analytical and I don't really believe in perfection...





I missed more complex characters and more background into the characters love story.





You MAY read this because you follow the author; you SHOULD read this because you enjoy a quick, sexy book; you MUST read this because this story was a fast, fun read!!!

Short and sweet

Insta love at it’s finest! Quick dirty little read with a touch of mafia. Great summer short read. The H is more smitten at first and goes to some extreme measures to get his girl.

I lazed around in bed reading this before I got up this morning. So swoony. I am such a sucker for a claim-y hero. And he's not a jerk. I don't know how Nikki Belaire fits a fully realized story into a novella, but she's done it again. Contains all the elements of a satisfying mafia romance: the claim, the threatening, the sweeping off her feet, the danger and violence scene, the loyal and lethal henchman who will hopefully get his own story, and the HEA. Highly recommend.

Nikki’s first short is everything I’d hoped it would be. OTT j/p H and an h that needs a white knight - except the knight is a ruthless mafia boss that will destroy anyone that is not his love! The h’s parents are the WORST and she definitely needed rescuing. Hotness level was *chef’s kiss*. I’m onboard for more of this goodness wrapped up in a *cough cough* tight little box.

Macy Shaw isn't very happy with her life. Reece Diavolo just wants things to be over. This story starts with two people being at the right place at the right time. It's hot, short, and sweet. Meaning you can eat it up and be ready for the author's next in the series.

If you like a some heat with your story than you will be happy with this one. It's summer where I am so you don't have to worry about keeping cool if you have a fan or air conditioner going. Maybe you're on the lookout for a new author than this would be the perfect way to test the waters and see if she would be a perfect fit for your library.

Being a novella, the author needs you to enjoy a lot in just a few pages. She does a great job in not making any scene go on too long or making it seem like it doesn't fit. It did leave me wondering how long before the next book comes out. Once all three books are here, I just may find myself having a series marathon.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

If you like your books short and sweet- with a heavy dollop of steam and a mafia alpha hero, this novella is right up your alley!

Mousey Macy is about to be forced into an arranged marriage to a vile man to protect her father’s life- fortunately for us, mafia man Reece (who also happens to cousin of the groom) is immediately enamoured with our reluctant bride and claims her as his own.

As ar as novellas go- this is a stronger one. Nikki has polished prose and a steady pace, and we have a good balance of steam, action, and some humor. Still under 2 hours of read time, but we also have some plot to go with our steam and a little space to explore this chemistry, which is hard to do in the novella format. Like with all novellas, we do miss out on richer character development because of limited page count and the romance is basically straight insta-love- but that is just par for the novella course, usually, and you can’t compare a novella to a full length novel. What I actually think this one was really missing was it was lacking in dialogue- too much internal monologue and not much of our characters actually interacting, even the bedroom scenes were light on the dialogue- and if I’m reading an instalove novella, I want some naughty talk!

Overall, some action, steam, and no romantic angst (just some mafia drama)- make it for an enjoyable, quick read. A fun, entertaining story- and I loved REECE, he was YUMMY. Excited to check out the next novella in this series!

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Suck is book one in the ‘’suck, bang `& blow’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. Suck is the first book of Nikki Belaire’s that I have read. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. When Macy’s father messes up she ends up arranged to marry. Reece doesn’t want to be at his scumbag cousin’s wedding but he soon becomes glad to be there. When he sees Macy, he has to have her.
The chemistry between Reece and Macy is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an entertaining read. I cannot wait to dive into the next book in this series.

SUCK is a new Naughty Novella and is short and steamy with no triggers, cliffhangers and an HEA.

Macy is part of an arranged marriage, but when mob boss, Reece Diavolo sees her, all bets are off. Something about Macy is just perfect for him and she is happy to find a way out of the wedding that she never wanted in the first place.

I completely loved the quick and steamy romance. I loved how she was a great match for Reece.

It says in the title that Suck is a novella, so yeah, it's short but so very hot. Macy is a good girl who is marrying someone out of obligation since she isn't one to make waves. Fortunately, a mob boss named Reese, decides he wants her so he rescues her, and she becomes obsessed with him quickly. They have so much chemistry together, and obviously since it's a novella, they fall into insta love but it works here for me. My chief issue was wanting so much more from these two people who were perfect for each other, because it's that addictive. So hit those one click buttons to experience the heat for yourselves! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

This is a quick intense hot sexy read that gets straight into the story with a bang. Exiting with lots of angst, with a sexy as hell dirty talking alpha male Mafia boss and a virgin sweet as sugar this story was really enjoyable.

Reece is the sexy gorgeous dominant Mafia boss who is instantly smitten with Macy when she is just about to walk down the aisle to marry another man. Reece always gets what he wants and he wants Macy badly and being the boss he knows just how to get his way. I adored Reece, the love he had for Macy may have been insta but he showed it in every way he could, he was so loving and sweet with her but still the big bad boss when he needed to be. Macy is nicknamed The Mouse, she is a virgin and meek and quite and really the perfect submissive for Reece which leads me to talk about the sex which was smokin hot and sexy as hell. Reece was good for Macy and Reece was good for me - boy he was such a turn on, it made me squirm reading about this man.

Although I don't like pre warned HEA's and Insta love very much, because this was short and very well put together it gets 5 stars from me. Looking forward to the next book in the series - Bang.

Short but perfect

Haha I fucking loved this. How fun n sexy it was. Had all the ingredients that blended well together to make something delicious that stays with you afterwards. The plot was exciting and flowed so well. Macy was sassy once she was able to breathe n take the mask off. Reece was just a fucking god you dream about. He had a lot of power but yet his sweetness to Macy was just endearing. I

im thinking these novellas are the way to go. Everything u want tied.up.I'm a neat satisfying package without the unnecessary empty dialogue and over dramatics full length books that thrown in just to add to the word count
