Any minute I am going to wake up from this nightmare. Being tied up and thrown in the trunk of a car doesn’t happen in real life. Except the silk tie around my wrists feels very real. And my father, Johnny Conti, the head of the Outfit, is telling me to be a good girl—that I’m to be the wife of the man who tied me up and has me over his wide shoulder.

Some women might swoon ...more

Regina's been away at boarding school for years when her father calls her home. It's while home she finds out not only who her fiancé really is, but to whom she's been promised since she was born - a Sabatini. But Regina will not sit by quietly, no, she's strong willed and no wilting wallflower, and will bring Dominic to his knees, even if he is loathe to admit it.

Dominic's a capo, not higher, his life is what it is. He has no desire for ...more

Wow, these guys get better as the stories go on and the more powerful, they are the harder they fall. I loved Dominic’s story and his fall.

Dominic Sabatini is a Capo in The Outfit. Son of Anthony Sabatini and cousin to Cesar, Dante, and Vincenzo Sabatini. He runs a club and has women when he wants them. He fought to keep his father’s territory and Dom’s right to what would eventually be his when he was fifteen and on his own, while his father did time. He went to Johnny Conti, now the Don of The Wow, these guys get better as the stories go on and the more powerful, they are the harder they fall. I loved Dominic’s story and his fall.

Dominic Sabatini is a Capo in The Outfit. Son of Anthony Sabatini and cousin to Cesar, Dante, and Vincenzo Sabatini. He runs a club and has women when he wants them. He fought to keep his father’s territory and Dom’s right to what would eventually be his when he was fifteen and on his own, while his father did time. He went to Johnny Conti, now the Don of The Outfit for help to maintain what was his. He is now a powerful Capo and very rich man. He lives his life on his own terms and doesn’t want to marry or have children. He is fine with spoiling his cousin’s children.

Regina Conti has never felt as if she was wanted or loved. After her mother died her father sent her to Italy to boarding school, at the age of six and she has remained there until her father, Johnny called her pleading to come home to New York and get to know him since he is sick and dying. It’s not what she wants to do, but she has no choice the matter and when she thinks he is better she’s ready to head back to Italy until she meets Richard Taylor. She believes he is the love of her life and sneaks around to meet him. The only problem is that she doesn’t really know him.

I loved this story and the immediate connection between Regina and Dominic was great. I loved that Regina, a young, innocent girl could make Dominic forget who he was. Their story is painful and angsty, but they finally find their way through it all and find their HEA. I loved how Dominic was instantly ready to give Regina anything she wanted, with one caveat, and then he relented on that as well later on. I love the Sabatini men and Dominic did not disappoint. I cannot wait for the next book in this series and hope for more as well. I love dangerous, powerful, dominant men the Sabatini’s are and the fact that they become putty in their women’s hands when they finally quit fighting their hearts. This story has a few twists that were interesting, and I am hoping for more on that as the series goes on as well. I give this story a 4.5-star review and recommend it to readers that enjoy Mafia Romance, dominant men that know how to treat a lady, as well as keep them in line.

Rating: 4.5 Stars

Dominic is the go-to guy who solves problems. Regina seems a little innocent about the world she lives in. The author does a good job in her ability to have me feel Regina’s anger. She gave me some funny moments too. It seemed as if Dominic gave Regina permission to swear then once she started it was hard not to laugh.

I did have a wish though. I would have loved to see her do it a couple of times in Italian – even though I can’t read or speak the language. Other than that, I en ...more

I always enjoy a dark mafia story and finding a new author to me is always exciting. This story has some darkish moments that are very fitting and I like how they weren’t fussy but smoothly executed in the story. There are quite a lot of lighter ones that balance things out well. The storyline is a busy one with quite a few things going on yet not overwhelming, there is plenty of drama and action to keep it thrilling and fast paced.

This was my first romance read by Fiona Murphy and by way of introduction to her books, it was definitely a good one.

This book is a slightly dark, intense mafia romance with all the feels and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dominic is a possessive, alpha, hero who will piss you off and turn you on all at the same time and quite frankly you’ll love every minute of it. Absolutely opposed to the concept of love and family, he lives his life as he damn well pleases. Regina is a (not so) shy, sheltered, cur ...more

What is a girl to do when she is tied up and thrown in the trunk of a car? Why fall in love with the man who puts her there of course. In this book we get Dominic Sabatini man-whore extraordinaire and self proclaimed bachelor for life. Little does he know he is about to be knocked on his ass by our sweet, beautiful, and oh so sassy heroine Regina. Regina's life looks like it has been a fairy tale from the outside, but in reality it is anything but. Granted there is more things at play than she k ...more

This is forty year old, capo/soon to be underboss Dominic Sabatini, and twenty-two year old, translator Regina ‘Gina’ Conti’s story line. HIS: Dominic can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous series is revealed where necessary. Dominic Sabatini is the cousin to Cesare, Enzo, and Dante Sabatini from the Dirty Billionaires Series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from dual first person perspectives (Dom and Gina) HIS : Dominic follows the acrimonious, age-gap, arranged marriage between forty year old, capo/soon to be underboss Dominic Sabatini, and twenty-two year old, translator Regina ‘Gina’ Conti. When Johnny Conti, head of the Chicago Outfit calls in a promise from Tony Sabatini, his son Dominic quickly discovers that his life as a single man is about to come to an end. Johnny’s illegitimate twenty-two year old daughter is about to marry a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and Dominic is tasked with ‘rescuing’ the woman from potential disaster. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Dom and Gina, and the potential fall-out as Gina struggles with the ongoing secrets and lies surrounding the Outfit, and the possibility of living a life without love or children.

Dominic Sabatini doesn’t want to be the next Don in the Outfit but since the death of his brother, and imprisonment of his father years before, Dom has inadvertently and purposely positioned himself in the line of succession. His power and control is only matched by the head of the Outfit, a man whose time on Earth is coming to an end. Forced to marry Regina Conti finds our hero falling for a woman whose issues of self-esteem and poor self-image have been reinforced by the men in her life, and the forced proximity to a man who refuses to fall in love. Gina Conti thought she was in love with a quiet accountant but said accountant is not the man he pretends to be. Blinded by love, Gina finds herself a virtual prisoner of the Sabatini family, a prisoner who will eventually fall in love with her personal kidnapper.

The relationship between Dom and Gina is tempestuous at best. Gina has been promised to the Sabatini family since the moment of her birth, and in this Gina had no idea since she never felt love or affection from the man who claims to be her father.Meeting Dominic Sabatini forces Gina to take a long, hard look at the man she thought she loved, a man more evil than the man she is about to marry. Falling for Dom was easy but life with Dom was always going to be hard. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense including some scenes of bondage and spanking.the sexual tension and chemistry is heavy and hot.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the original couples and characters from the Dirty Billionaires Series: Cesare and Alicia, Dante and Bethany Enzo and Chloe; Dom’s father Tony Sabatini; Outfit guards-Vincent, Marco and Dario; Regina’s father Johnny Conti; Dom’s housekeeper Mary; underboss Carlo Toro and his son Luca, and Regina’s former fiancé Richard Taylor. Tony’s story is next in HIS: TONY.

HIS: DOMINIC is a story of blood and family; power and control; secrets, lies, promises and love. The premise is edgy and gritty; the characters are energetic, animated and spirited; the romance is raw, spicy and provocative. The epilogue fast forwards the story line twenty-five years.

I have to give this one 5 stars. I just HAVE to!

This author was new to me, but not any longer. Thank God! I just grabbed up a few more to add to this collection.

This story - a Mafia story hot enough to burn my Kindle and sizzle the insides.

I think the thing I loved most (aside from the characters and their steamy (flaming hot) story) is that the author dispersed equal parts light with dark when it came to the storytelling. This is, after all, a Mafia story. To have left it all light and fluffy w ...more

This is my first book from Fiona Murphy and I must say I enjoyed this so much! Dominic was such a great character and loved learned all about him. He's a Capo in The Outfit and son of Anthony Sabatini. He is, for all purposes, the quintessential mafia guy. He has women whenever he wants them but has also done things to help "the family".

Reginia is sassy and is looking forward to marrying her boyfriend and leave the mafia family behind, instead she finds herself tied up and thrown into the trunk of a car.

My heart went to him because he didn't want children especially a male. Because his son will have to live his life which he hate. He doesn't want his son to live it. Dominic is a bad ass and he thinks for his future son by not having kids. To me that's a real hero right there !!

Regina was very naive when we first met her and I wanted to strangle her when a certain piece of evidence was shown to her. Then I started to love when she realised she is in love with Dominic.

Dominic was such a force to be reckoned with, and it would take a woman of equal measure to fit him just so. They are both broken, but they find solace in one another.

Dominic and Regina knew from their very first meeting that they were meant for each other. But they wouldn't be who they were if they didn't deny it.
They fought the good fight trying so hard not to love each other. In the end they fell hard anyway.

Miss Fiona Murphy has outdone herself with her latest Sabatini alpha! With one of her strongest female mc’s yet, Dominic and Regina melt the pages as they navigate their tortured souls through a battle of wills, stubborn pride and a dark world that could leave them both scorched.

If you’re a fan of her Sabatini Brothers, this one will not disappoint. While Dominic is a bigger pill to swallow than the previous Sabatini’s, I promise he goes down oh so smooth!

I devoured this book and can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s an arranged marriage story that is thrilling from beginning to end. The hero is totally swoon worthy and the ultimate alpha. He’s very controlling and serious. Yet an absolute softie as well. I genuinely enjoyed reading Dominic and Regina’s story and need to read other books by this author.
