Because I Want You by Claire Contreras is now live!
From New York Times bestseller Claire Contreras comes a new, sexy standalone mafia romance novel…
Roselyn Vega -
When Gabriel De Luca waltzed into the nightclub where I was bartending, looking like he'd just stepped out of the pages of GQ Magazine: Wall Street Edition, it felt like fate.
I hadn't seen him in ten years, but it felt like no time had passed between us. He'd been my first boyfriend, and I trusted him, so when he asked me how I ended up bartending for one of the most feared crime bosses, I told him everything. After that night, he went MIA, and suddenly, I'm very concerned for both our safety.
When he finally shows up, a week later, he's acting different, walking different, and even looks a little different, but I'm so relieved that he's okay that I barely register those things.
A couple of nights later, when he breaks into my apartment in the middle of the night I realize that it wasn't Gabriel who'd walked into the club the other night, but his brother. His infuriating, domineering, dangerous brother, who, unlike Gabriel, followed their father's footsteps into the world of organized crime. He demands that I pack my bags and go with him. I refuse, fight and argue, but the thing about Dominic De Luca is that one way or another, he always gets his way.
Dominic De Luca -
There's a code between brothers. I should know. I have a lot of them.
Don't lie.
Don't steal from each other.
Don't f each other's women *without permission*.
This particular situation made that last one a little less black and white because my brother, my first best friend, the guy who shared a womb with me, failed to tell me that the bartender he'd been seeing was Roselyn Vega. Of course, he wouldn't tell me. Now the voice message he left before he completely disappeared makes sense. "Take care of her. Don't f her."
Usually, that wouldn't be a problem (read: the code), but it's a little tricky this time. You see, Rosie was mine before he took her from me ten years ago, and many things have changed during that time. I've changed, my circumstances have changed, but my confounding, obnoxious crush on Rosie? Yeah, that's still the same. He left her in my care and warned me not to do anything, but I'm not making any promises.
**Because I Want You is a complete standalone novel set in the same world as Because You're Mine and Because I Need You
Review:
What a great read! Everything Claire Contreras writes is incredible to me and this story is right on par with all of her others. It was so good to be back in this mafia, forbidden world! I loved getting to read Dominic’s story. I loved the connection he and Rosie had since childhood. I loved that there was a little bit of drama between he and Gabe over the girl, just keeps things a little spicy and interesting, right?? This book has just the right level of drama and angst with some really good spicy scenes and love that you can’t help but love. I also really enjoyed getting to see the other characters I’ve already fallen in love with in the earlier Because series books. All of these characters are so well written and developed, reading this book makes you feel like you know them personally and are a part of their circle. I’d love to go out for a girls night with Yari, Catalina, Isabel, and Petra! I’m sure spending time with Dom, Gio, Loren, and the rest of the guys would be intimidating and 🔥 I liked getting to see Rosie have her own life that she was able to hold on to amidst all the chaos and still be able to be there for her family. I hate the position that her family allowed her to be in and simultaneously also love that I know Dom would never let that happen again. Overall, I really enjoyed this story and I am hoping there will be more to this series!! I’d love to read Gabe’s story next!!
