Book 1 of 3: Breeding Vanessa

See all formats and editions

They want a broodmare. I want out.

I've never wanted anything to do with the mafia life. I was going to get my degree and get out. But thanks to mafia warring, I'm now being held hostage by one of the largest criminal empires.

Giulio Pavone is as personable as he is cruel, treating women like nothing more than product to be sold. Damien Rossi's faux gentle touch makes my skin crawl. Slayer has made no secret how much he wants to see my tears.

And above all, they want to forcibly use me to continue the Pavone family line. I'm nothing but a broodmare to them. I know if I get pregnant, my chance of escape becomes next to nothing.

I have to get out. I have to stay strong. I can't become one of the broken girls they sell at their seedy clubs.

Note: This work contains extremely dark themes with potentially triggering content, including forced pregnancy. Read at your own discretion. Though this book picks up where Loving Lucia left off for Vanessa's story, it is not necessary to read the Spoils of Victory trilogy before diving into the Breeding Contempt trilogy. See the author's note or visit their websites for more warnings.

First please check tr!gger warnings! This is DARK 😈.

What do you do when you are trapped between three seemingly evil men? If you’re Vanessa you slowly back away with the man with a kn!fe to your neck😅. After being taken in such a way she expects these men to be violent but what she doesn’t expect is for them to want to get her pregnant wether she wants to or not🫢😱. Three men in it for different reasons and plan to enjoy every part of Vanessa😈. But will their treatment ultimately break her or will she find a way out?

Dang! Our girl Vanessa is top tier naïve heroine. Girl has no real concept of “it could always be worse” until she pushes and things get worse😅. I have no idea how the authors are going to get the male characters to a point where I’m happy they get the girl but looking forward to going on the journey in the next two books😍.

The Guys are Impossible

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023

Damen convinces Giulio to take Vanessa when all hell breaks loose at Giulio's dad's wedding. They take her to G's strip club Ntimacy where they keep her captive to breed. It was Damien's idea that G have kids with Vanessa and G is down with it. But he doesn't care who the biological father is so he shares her with Damien and another friend Slayer.

Vanessa is NOT down with the breeding but having become close to one of the dancers, she learns not to piss G off cause G has no problem taking out his anger on her best friend Stef.

This book ends in a cliffhanger.

I like the characters but it's hard to feel the intimidation because G for one never takes anything seriously and he sets the tone for Slayer and Damien. I think the book could use some danger, like an enemy trying to get Vanessa or something like that. Not that sex isn't great, I would have loved more about the plot and less about the sex.

Overall it's a great book and I would recommend it.

Ok so I waited as long as I possibly could to write this review because I received an ARC and I hate it when I don’t care for the book and an advanced reader. I will say I loved the writing style and development of the characters. The spice was great it has exactly what is advertised for the spice. My issue was when I started reading I kept thinking ok I know this is an ARC but I’ve read this book before. The more I read I could not help but think I swear I’ve read this. Turns out I basically had, I was thinking of the book about the MC’s sister which is also written by the same author. The story is just to similar for me and you can basically guess what is going to happen. Now don’t get me wrong sometimes that can be nice but this one just didn’t hit the mark for me.

Dark with a dose of hilarity!

This book is definitely on the darker side. These men do not treat Vanessa like some precious loved one, although she has gotten off much easier than her sister did in my opinion! It's decided that Vanessa is around for one reason only, and that is to provide heirs for the Pavone family. If she can't provide that, then she really isn't worth anything to these men and will find herself sold off or working the floor or a strip club. I am surprised how much I am loving Jules perchant for role playing and the hilarity it brings with it! I have found myself laughing more than a few times throughout the book at his antics! Can't wait to see what the next book brings!

More twisted delights

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2022

Another wild ride from Donovan and Wolf. They just keep getting better and better with these deliciously dark stories. We met Vanessa in their other excellent series, Spoils of Victory, where Vanessa’s sister, Lucia, has her own nightmare to live through. Now it’s Vanessa’s turn.

Giulio and Damien kidnap Vanessa from her sister’s wedding and it all goes even further downhill from there. Damien has the idea to make Vanessa the mother of Giulio’s children, willingly or not. Be certain to check your triggers at the door, because nothing about this is soft or sweet. Vanessa’s in for a bad time. Once Giulio pulls in friend and sometimes reluctant lover Slayer, all bets are off. Here’s the thing: you can’t help but revel a little in Vanessa’s misery, especially if you’ve read the previous books. She really came off as a little snobby and entitled. Seeing her knocked down a peg or two wasn’t bad. I also actually really, really enjoyed how Donovan and Wolf wrote a female lead that wasn’t strong. Vanessa is weak. Make no bones about it. Now, that’s not to say she won’t grow throughout the series, but right now? So soft and weak. I think it will make her transformation that much sweeter.

Giulio is supposed to be very unlikable, but honestly, he was fabulous. He’s brutal and irreverent and seemingly takes nothing seriously. Damien is the serious counterpart here. He seems like he needs to loosen up a bit. Slayer is just mean. Brutal and cunning. I think Slayer might be my favorite, with Giulio coming in as a close second. There’s something about Slayer that makes me want to peel back his layers. Even after finishing the book and knowing what I do now, Slayer might just take the cake. One of my absolute favorite aspects of this book was somehow learning to like these truly reprehensible characters.

If you’re looking for something dark and torturous, something with tons of MMM/F action and even some sexy M/M action, this book is going to be right up your alley. It’s all that and so much more.

I forced myself to finish this because I was hoping it would get better. Honestly the plot is mediocre and it seems like the whole book is the FMC just saying the same thing over and over. The repetitiveness of everything just became a chose to read. I hate leaving a series unread but I don’t think I will pick up the remaining books.

I enjoyed this read, but there was not much bonding between the lovers. Too much innuendo and not enough fact to be able to get the gist of what's going on.

After reading her sister’s story I was more than ready to find out how Vanessa’s life was impacted by it. What I was NOT prepared for was the level of hotness! 🔥🔥 Vanessa was completely at her three captors mercy. The lines between what’s wrong and right is blurred and you begin to question your own sanity. I literally could not get enough of these three. I can not wait to read more about how this works out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I was so freaking excited for this book, after the pure, deliciously depraved antics in the Spoils of Victory trilogy... guess what? I was NOT disappointed!

Did I love Saint and Angel in the original books? God yes. Even Victor? A little? Now and then. Maybe lol

Giulio, Damien, and Slayer? OMFG... gimme more. They're wicked, they're twisted AF, and they're so compelling that I devoured this book as fast as I could, which is a shame, because I should have savoured it. It's honestly challenging, and fascinating, and deeply naughty, in those ways that we smut readers love so damn much. Breeding obsessed? These guys? Yeah, just a LOT. I loved every psychotic moment of it, and am desperate for more.

Let's talk about Vanessa for a moment. She's a freaking goddess. I expected her to be weaker than Lucia, who quite honestly had her moments when she seemed to break, but came back fighting. Vanessa though... she's got fire, and I loved the way her character was developing page by page.

If you haven't read the Spoils of Victory trilogy yet, then you're massively missing out. And this? This is epic, and you need to read it too. Trust me, just read it in the bath or something, so you can uh... be alone for the spicy bits... it's SO hot!

This book had me hooked from the first chapter. It has so much detail and I feel sorry for Vanessa. But the men I know your not supposed to like them or anything but I love them. They are dark and twisted. I love the dark men. And this book is 100% one of darkest that I have read on a long time.

You really need to read the books before this one. I mean you can only read this, but the others make this one a lot more enjoyable.
There is Triggers, do yourself a favour and rad thought hem before reading. Dark romance isn’t for everyone so please beware.
The 3 men are really mean. They better redeem themselves otherwise I will yeet this book out the window.
This book is a bt like a train wreck, its horrible shocking, yet your eyes are glued to it the whole time.
