I saw her at the bar, and my whole life changed. She was out with some jerk who treated her like garbage, and she let him. But I put a stop to that right away. She knows I’m the kingpin, the Devil of Miami, and thinks I only want her for one night, when really I’m planning on making her my wife.
She doesn’t believe that I can love her. But I’ll make her see that she deserves the world, even if I have to break her down into pieces and rebuild her to do it. She belongs to me now, even if she doesn’t know it yet. This devil’s found his angel…
Breaking Bella is a dang emotional roller coaster, I swear loving her was never healthy or whatever Vivian Green said!!!
Brax "The devil 😈 of Miami" is people watching when the most beautiful girl walks into the bar. She is slim thick with flowing locks and she looks too young and too innocent to be there. Brax is instantly drawn to her and after overhearing a little bit of the conversation she is having with her "Date" he is pissed 😡.
Bella is suffering from a serious case of low self esteem and anxiety. Omg 😳 it’s too much at points. Her self loathing doesn’t take a break until the final chapter. I mean you want to reach into the book 📖 and slap her on both cheeks at some points.
Look at this part
Breakfast waiting for me? Seriously, what is this? I’ve never even had a guy offer to pick up the check for me, let alone buy me anything. My friends say it’s because I have terrible taste in men, but I’m pretty sure the opposite sex has just been sending me a message for a while now. I’m damaged goods, and I’ve come to accept it.
Oh h*ll to the Nah !!! Bella baby know your worth. Believe it or not Brax is the perfect gentleman. Yes, 🙌🏽 he is a kingpin but the man is a saint. We love him he honestly keeps me until the final page because everyone needs a guy like him.
But on another note 📝!!! The chemistry between Brax and Bella could light pants on fire 🔥. He completes her and she reciprocates.
As always there is soo much kink. 🥰😍🙂😇 YAY!!! There is some light dirty talk from Bella and 100 %dirty talk from Brax. There is some humiliation 🙂 but just enough to make you swoon and some spanking off 📄 page.
This book made me frown, smile and 😱 scream. I loved every page. Go out and get this book. And maybe you’ll get a little kink from Brax too !! Only one way to find out.
I received an ARC copy from the author and I am leaving an honest review. 😍🥰
╰⊰✿ Her scent calms me like a designer drug made just for me. She’s all I need. Her happiness feeds mine. Her soul and mine are intertwined. I love her more than I’ve loved anything in my life, and that’s something I never thought possible. I never believed in love. That was something reserved for fiction, for fairy tales and film. But then I found her, and everything changed. ✿⊱╮
❤︎ star rating: 3.25 ★ ★ ★ ❤︎ spice rating: .5🌶️
❥ Talk about seeing what you want and going after it full force! No second guessing and no doubt. Brax laid eyes on Bella and his mission was laid out before him then and there.
❥ This was beyond cute and I enjoyed it. Quick and to the point and easy to read. It didn’t rely heavily on spice like most Novellas do.
╰⊰✿ “I’ve owned everything in this life, but Bella is my most prized possession. She belongs to me now, and the best part is, she knows that she deserves to now.” ✿⊱╮
2-2.5 Smut-Fluff ⭐’s I didn’t realize this was so short when I started it. I’ve been reading a lot of smutty, soapy, trashy reads lately cuz my RL has been hectic, and I need mindless and easy… so I was a smidge worried when I had to stop twice within the first few pages to google “pencil jeans” and “red-pill videos” but it quickly morphed into smut and stayed in Smut-Ville until the end.
Brax (30) the Miami crime lord (that’s all we get on his organization) sees young Bella (19) at a bar and is immediately obsessed. Fortunately for him, Bella is weak-willed and pretty much goes along with everything.
Bottom Line- An insta-lovefest with a besotted kingpin building up her self-worth and encouraging spine growth by tending her lady garden with his magic member… and a pinch of daddy kink. This is fluff-smut, nothing realistic, no feels, etc. Short epilogue four years later.
The story of a kingpin’s instant obsession with an innocent woman, and the lengths he goes to cherish her and make her his. Things happened way too fast once he saw her, and ofcourse ends in a HEA.
ARC Review of Breaking Bella by Jenna Rose * * * * * A cold man, a devil in the dark world of crime, finds an obsessive need to have his angel. Bella, a young innocent girl with talent and beauty and huge self esteem issues, is fighting the pull she feels to this man who pushes her buttons and boundaries to make her see her worth. Hot and sexy and dominating. 5 stars.
Adam Devil of Miami değil de karşısındakinin dediğinin tersini yapma hastalığı olan bir psikopat! Manyak bir şey çıktı Brax!
O değilde yazarın sanırım belirli bir çizgisi var. Erkek karakter güçlü , alfa, otoriter, suç örgütüne bağlı yada biraz karanlık tarafı var. Kadın karakterler asla yirmiden büyük değil. Utangaç, muhtaç, kendi akılları yokmuşçasına sağa sola savruluyor. Ve her zaman erkek karakter kadın karakteri sahiplenip, kadını, karısı yapma derdinde 🤦🏻♀️😅 genel tema bu sanırım yazarda 🤔
Brax barda takılırken, Bella'yı görür. Yanında onu hak etmeyen bir adam vardır. Brax öyle düşündüyse kesin doğrudur. Onun her fikri doğru zaten 🙄 Hemen olaya müdahale eder ve Bella'yı çekip alır. Evine götürür ve ne kadar değerli olduğunu göstermeden önce, rıza kısmı şaibeli bir şekilde birlikte olur.
Ya sen değerlisin, seni şımartacağım, pamuklara sarıp sarmalayacağım ama bu konuda fikrin zerre önemli değil. Neden? Kızın kendi aklı yok çünkü 🤦🏻♀️ Aslında adam suç işlerini bırakıp emekli olmaya karar verdiğinde yaptığı salaklık yüzünden bu konuya katılabilirim. Neymiş, benim yüzümden çabalarınla sahip olduğun imparatorluğu bırakmana dayanamam. Ya pişman olursan 🙄Salak suçlu biriyle mi olmak istiyorsun 😅
Kısa bir okuma oldu yine. Bu yüzden bunlara da takılmanın gereği var mıydı bilemedim. Ama yazar benim zevkime göre çok ince çizgi de kurgular yazıyor. Seveni olacağını düşünüyorum. Ama sevmeyeni de olur 🤭
I read this a month ago and life has been so chaotic I didn’t get a chance to leave a review or why I was only giving it 3 stars (which is a story that is passable but missed the mark.) knowing this author probably a slimy manskank Zero who verbally abuses the heroine. It’s just a guess tho, so don’t take my word for it.
LMAO Smut and riches sure does wonders for this chick's self esteem.
Having read another of this author's books just to be sure, I realised that her formula isn't for me. Her books feel too cold and clinical and is literally ALL ABOUT THE SMUT with a 'plot' that's trying to be deeper than it can ever realistically be. Skirts the parody line, imo. Obvs it works for many, not so much for me.
this was so over the top i can’t stop laughing. bella had me rolling my eyes all the way to fucking iceland with that oneeeeeee stupid decision and that was unnecessary as fuck but brax was perfect and that epilogue really has my heart
Hero doesn't understand the meaning of word "No" and is someone "Who knows all".
Heroine is a "Stupid" and thinks that "Hero knows what even she doesn't know about herself but in deep, deep, deep, deeppp corner of her mind/heart wants it".
The addition starts with the book cover….yeah…yeah…yeah don’t judge a book by its cover they say ….well we all do it and this one here it is the scratch to your itch or better yet the filling to your oreos! Speaking of filling…..wait, that’s for later. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with! Bad boy….check Bod boy’s crazy brother/friend…check Bad boy’s Kryptonie…check ….check and check By the time you’ve figured out who is who, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter! Can’t say I didn’t warn you. Bella is sweet, soft spoken for the most part, been verbally abused so much that doesn’t know her worth and that just can’t be. Brax a sexy as all get out kind of good guy but looking out for himself but her as well so while on a date with the jerk who mistreats her Brax decides to intervene and put a stop to it. So will she accept Brax, will he protect her, show her ..her worth and can they find happiness?
This is the story of Brax, the devil of Miami and Bella, a virgin girl that crossed path with the devil in a form of an angel. He was in a club, an she arrived to a date. Once he spotted her, he knew she was going to claim her as his. He saw when her date, Josh, was trying to move forward with her and how she felt uncomfortable. He decided to take action and make Josh leave while he took Bella with him. Bella was scared because she knew whom he was. What she did not know was that Brax already wanted her in his life not for a single night, he wanted her forever. He was determined to make her love him but he knew he had to break her, help her to have confidence and love herself to be able to love him too. He did everything possible to make her love him and changed her, even though he thought he was not worth him. But he was already a different man, a man in love. I loved the book, the characters and the plot. Highly recommended.

The first read of 2024 went "What in the actual world was that..." I was intrigued by the blurb, you know, interesting plot, hot romance between the Devil of Miami hero and an innocent virgin heroine. Though, the execution of it was disappointingly bad. He claimed her without her consent and started doing everything, taking control of her life just like that. And he said he respected her. What a joke, honestly. But that's not the worst thing, she actually liked it. All because she couldn't see her self-worth. Like, come on. This is what the book is about self-worth.
Super fast-paced with a lot of plot holes, confusing heroine and hero personalities, and sometimes juvenile acts. I expected more, for real. Novella indeed, however, I've read some other, same-length novellas with zero plot holes and lovable characters.
I really liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable. While I had a few questions about things that happened in the story, I let them go and just went with it. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Bella surprised me a lot. She seemed so, almost shut down (maybe) but she kept rolling along with Josh and later with Brax. Brax was protective, possessive, and determined. He was determined to make Bella his and to make sure that she knew that he felt she had value. Brax and Bella had some fun scenes, but they also had difficult ones as well. I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book.

It was trying to do too much for a novella... it should have either been a full-length novel or should have been a little...lighter? More rom-com or spice or something?
Serious topics like Bella's extremely low self-worth were talked about in a manner that seemed too direct & flippant... like Here's the problem, Here's how we fix it, and ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ Okay we've done those things, and Now she's better. It just came off as a little inauthentic I think. I expected this to be a spicy romance novel but it came across as more of a "how to fix a broken little girl" novel..? There was one spicy scene early on with some dub-con and then the rest of the spicy stuff is pretty much glossed over. 🤷♀️ For me, it's 2 stars.

So first off the title of the book, Breaking Bella, does not really fit the story about Bella and Brax. This is a fast-paced and different romance. At the beginning I did not like Brax, actually I wanted to smuck him upside the head. I really liked Bella and felt empathy for her at the beginning as she is beautiful young woman who does not realize it. But Brax falls for her at first sight and then he redeems himself as he shows Bella what other people see and helps to build her self confidence.

This is exactly what I need! This story definitely was a mixed emotions, mafia, and most of all love. Bella is on a bad date when she catches the eye of a mafia king. Bella is beautiful, sweet, shy, and a little sassy. She feels so out of place because of childhood. She is about to be taught an lesson. Bax is all alpha man. He handsome, cold, mean, and press all the good buttons in Bella. He is about to teach Bella everything she needs that she doesn't even realize. I love it! The writing was done beautifully and flows throughout the book. It grab my attention right away and I finished it in an hour. Amazing work again Jenna Rose!
I love this author and her darker romances. This is one of my favourite troupes. I enjoyed both characters and their budding relationship. The storyline was determined straight away with his character being the more dominant and knowing whay he wants from the get go and hers coming across as innocent and lacking confidence and came across as weaker and fast paced, with so much packed into one story. I loved the anti hero angle as the kingpin saves the damsel in distress. The tension made up alot of the story and then the chemistry was hot and heated up the pages. I was satisfied with the ending and was happy with it all in all.
Brax had worked hard to become the boss of all Miami, but now he has nothing to work towards and is a void of the man he once was, a man leading his empire alone, until Bella. As soon as Belle walks into the bar with her handsy date she knows its not going to end well, but tocbe saved by the Devil of Miami is something she ever saw coming, now he claims her as his angel. For one night she thinks but the Devil is playing for keeps. This is a well written insta loving obsessive captive romance.

The author has given us a story that pulls us into the lives of Brax and Bella and does not let go. Brax is known as the Devil of Miami because of his business practices but once he sees Bella, he wants nothing more than to make her his. Bella has extremely low self esteem and wonders why Brax would even want her. Will he be able to convince her that she has value?

I thought that this book was great. I really like Brax and Bella together. Brax only wants to break Bella to put her back together but in a way that he sees her, not the way that she has been taught to see herself. I can't wait to see what Ms. Jenna as in store for us next. I really liked this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Jenna as a must read author.

Jenna Rose has written another steamy and OTT romance that will grab you and not let go. When Brax, the Devil of Miami sees Bella for the first time, he is immediately smitten. He will do whatever it takes to make her his. Before he can claim her, he will have to rid her of the obnoxious date she just walked into the bar with. Bella is convinced that she is not enough for Brax but he is determined to prove to her that they belong together!
This was a very over the top instant-lust story. It’s a quick read, with no-drama, but a bit theatrical when I comes to Bella’s behavior. She has some daddy issues and those play out in her self-worth. She’s also 19, and Brax is 30. Brax isn’t much better and says a few times that he has to “break her down and build her back up”. Brax is a bad guy, but Bella brings out the protector in him.
It has to be my least favorite book so far. There's isn't much to say about it.
Crime organized boss man sees the woman of his dream at a bar. She's there to date with a duche who doesn't respect her; he makes the dude leave for the way he's treating her. After that, he takes the reins on the situation and takes her for himself.
Now she's owned and never leaving.
CW: There’s no consent. If you're not comfortable reading coercion, this isn't a book for you. R*pe.
She may be his angel, but he was her savior. She does not have any measure of her self worth and looks down at herself, and is willing to sabotage her life. Good thing his love for her is big enough for the both of them until she realizes her worth.

The title is a little misleading on this book. Bella is on a date with Josh. She is spotted by Brax. Brax doesn't like what Josh is doing to Bella. Brax decides to intervene. He decides to help Bella build up her self esteem.

Let’s just say this was a bit mean to start with, yet as it progresses the soft side comes out. I will say the beginning was shocking in how Brax started out with Bella, but liked the way he instilled confidence and showered her with love to show her worth that she was a wonderful woman. An interesting storyline with HEA.
