Review: Without Respect by Brina Brady 4 of 5 stars

Without Respect (Mobsters’ Gay Sons, #1)









Without Respect by Brina Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Benito Banetti is the youngest son of an Italian mobster and is gay. His father would never let him be in an openly gay relationship. Ben intends to change that and find a man whom he wants but when it turns out the man he wants is the son of a family enemy his father gives him an ultimatum to either marry his female cousin, and all is forgotten, or if he is with Mishka Chernov, a Russian mobster, he will disown him. Mishka took over the family business out of love and respect for his father but he realises he is not suitable for the top spot in the family. He meets a beautiful man at a sleazy brand when he finds out who he is he still wants him even with the problems he would cause his family’s business. Mishka wants the same freedom and separation from the family business that Ben has.

I loved this story with Ben struggling under an autocratic father who hated that he was gay and Mishka who was mesmerised by Ben and then in love with him fairly quickly. I loved Mishka's father who loved him accepting his sexuality and was willing to accept Ben into his family. Lots of politics in the large family but a lot of love too. I was heartbroken after their misunderstanding but thrilled when they worked it out. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and elements of BSDM-like D/s activities.
