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

Renee’s Five Star Review  I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the third book in the Because Series. It is set in the some world as Because Your Mine and Because I Need You. This is a complete standalone as are the other books. I have read all these books and I highly recommend those book, but you do not have to have read them to read this book. All of these stories are romantic suspense and I love a good romantic suspense book. This one has an enemies to lovers vibe going on in it. This is the story of Dom and Rose. Two say these two have a complicated history might be an understatement. Rose has spent the last few years of her life trying her very best to erase her past living in New York. She is a woman who knows a lot of loss and is just trying her best to focus on what she can control in her life. She is a ballerina who works tending bar on the side to be able to support herself. When her ex-boyfriend come strolling in to the club you can imagine her surprise and he is equally surprised she is working for one of the worst crime families in their club. She and Gabriel DeLuca were a item in high school and she can still feel what she felt with him like it was yesterday and ends up telling him all of her secrets and then he just disappears, which really worries and stresses her until he shows back up one day. However he is acting strange and even looks a little different but she is so relieved to see him that she doesn’t really pay much attention to this. However when he breaks into her apartment in the middle of the night it doesn’t take her long to realize that he isn’t Gabriel but his twin brother Dom. He is not someone she is happy to see at all as he represents everything she stands against. He is from a powerful Italian family and has quickly raised up in the ranks and helped to make this something they are all proud of. See, a life that Rose is totally against and he is proud of. However when his brother before he disappears, he left a cryptic message to watch over a woman, Dom is shocked to learn that it is his Rosie. The girl that he loved first and Dom stole from him. A woman that he is still felling things for and they might just border on a little bit on the obsessive side. However, she wants nothing to do with him. And that is about all I can tell you because there is a lot that happens in this book. After all it is a Mafia romance and there are things happening all the time and moments that will have you one the edge of your seat and two characters you are absolutely going to fall in love with. This is a really great book and I can’t wait to see what we get next in this world.
