Elusive: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 5) by Via Mari – Review by Alexandria Richard

Elusive by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel lives up to its name. The sexual tension is through the roof!
I love the world this series is set in. This time bodyguard Sheldon is trying to hold himself back from pursuing hairstylist Alexis, as he believes she is not a woman who can be a willing and obedient submissive in, but more importantly outside, of the bedroom. Alexis is attracted to Sheldon but isn’t willing to put herself out there without him showing he cares about her first. And in the background is the lingering threat of a man who couldn’t take Alexis’s “no” for an answer. He has a criminal record and is connected to human traffickers. Will this threat keep Sheldon and Alexis apart or bring them closer together?
There were some parts of this novel that went way to quick for my liking. Names and situations listed out that made it hard to follow who was doing what, and what was going on where.
This novel is certainly more focused on the relationship between Alexis and Sheldon rather than what’s going on in the mafia world. The Dom/sub relationship and world of sex clubs and BDSM are more prevalent in this novel as well.
I love that throughout this series the males may be Dom’s and involved with the mafia, but they actively combat human trafficking and support the survivors. While the FMC’s are submissive she’s not meek and willing to let the male(s) handle everything. The women are strong and have decided if they are willing to embrace their submissive side only for their Dom.
