Jackson Decker is everything I’ve ever wanted: Fierce. Loyal. Not to mention tall, tattooed and hotter than the earth’s core.

Too bad there are so many reasons why he’s off limits. He’s old enough to be my father, but even worse than that, he is the right-hand man of head of the Spanish Mafia, who just happens to be my dad. So that loyalty I admire in him so much is also the reason he will never look at me the way I want him to.

But when we start working together, sparks fly in ways that neither of us expected. One passionate night later, he ends us before we begin when he tells me 'this can never happen again.'

However, fate has other ideas. My life is in danger and I’m forced to leave LA with my young son, and it's Jackson who protects us both, taking us to the ranch where he was raised and facing the demons of his own past in the process.

The weather isn’t the only thing that heats up in Texas and before long the attraction between us can no longer be denied.

But with so many obstacles in our way, how can we ever have a future together? Because when my father finds out about the two of us, there will be hell to pay. Can the head of the Montoya family ever forgive the ultimate betrayal?

Fierce Betrayal is book three in the LA Ruthless series, featuring the Montoya crime family.

Amazing!

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Sadie has done it yet again!! I am not even sure where to begin – this book hits all the right spots and is the perfect combo of suspense, spice, romance, and everything in between!

Sadie has knocked it out of the park yet again with Fierce Betrayal. Just when I think that she can’t top her last book, she comes along and writes the story of Jax Decker and Lucia Montoya and I am proved wrong yet again – Sadie blows this book out of the water!!

Sadie does an amazing job with creating complex characters in all her books and this one is no exception. Jax and Lucia’s characters are so dynamic you can’t help but love them and their chemistry between is just amazing!

If you are looking for an amazing standalone mafia age gap/Dad’s best friend that is filled with all the spicy you can handle I HIGHLY recommend Fierce Betrayal – You will not be disappointed!!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!

I thought the first two books of this series were hot (let’s be honest, Alejandro is one sexy alpha male) but Jax and Lucia are on another level!
She has a bit of darkness in her that makes their relationship even more combustible than Alex and Alana’s.
When reading this book, remember to drink lots of water and maybe keep a fan nearby 🔥🔥

Tropes:

Touch her you d**, dad’s best friend, age gap, mafia, stalker, kidnapping

I started the LA Ruthless series with this book on accident and I love every minute of it, it had the right amount of spice and suspense and the story was amazingly well written. I didn’t feel like it was too rushed which is a problem I have with a lot of books

Would definitely recommend this series to all my friends

Jax is what his environment has made him, and unforgiving and ruthless man but what Lucia will find is that under that tough exterior is a man who will do anything for those he loves….and that includes her and her son.
This book is steamy hot from the get go! Jax and Lucia have us riding the rollercoaster of emotions from the very first chapter…and the ride continues as they navigate their tumultuous love for each other. This is definitely not a book for someone who is looking for hearts and flowers…but if you love a good mafia alphahole….grab this book and don’t put it down!

📖 Tropes:

⁃ Fathers best friend
⁃ Age gap
⁃ Single mother
⁃ Mafia princess
⁃ Stalker
⁃ Kidnapping

🌶 Spice: 5/5
⭐️ Overall: 5/5

“Who owns you?” he whispers. “You, Jax. Only you.”

Fierce Betrayal was everything. I could feel the subtle heat between Lucia & Jax in the last book brewing so I couldn’t wait for this to come out. Lucia is now a mom and all grown up. No longer a scared little girl and replaced by a fiercely independent woman.

I absolutely loved getting to see inside Jax’s head as his character in the first two books was fascinating. He is devoted and fiercely loyal to Alejandro and his family. The love and loyalty he has towards Lucia and her son was so beautifully written.

The plot and character development throughout the book was the perfect blend of angst, spice and suspense. Sadie knows exactly what we want and doesn’t fail to deliver. Her writing makes you feel everything the characters do and it is so easy to get lost in the world she has created.

Sadie Kincaid has done it again. Fierce Betrayal is the perfect way to re-introduce us to Lucia and Jackson. In the previous books Lucia was a lost soul, and in Fierce Betrayal, Lucia steps into her role as the Princess of LA. Perfection!

The LA Cowboy gets his girl… but Daddy isn’t too pleased

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 27, 2022

OK… I’m going to start this review by saying… even though the blurb says that this is a standalone, I very strongly suggest that you read books one and two (Fierce King and Fierce Queen) before you read this fantastic addition to the LA Ruthless series. It isn’t imperative and you will still get great enjoyment from reading this without it, however you will have a much better and clearer understanding of the family dynamic and the relationships between Jax, Lucia and Alejandro.

This is a complicated relationship because it’s frowned upon for so many reasons… but right for so many more.

Firstly… there’s the age gap. Working it out Jax is 16 years older than Lucia. The same age she was when she became pregnant with her baby Matthias. So technically, yes he is old enough to be her father. But you forget about that because Jax has never appeared to be a lot older and having been through so much in her life, Lucia is a very mature young woman. Sure she has her moments of immaturity but the age gap doesn’t feel so huge when they are together.

Secondly… and probably most importantly, Jax is Lucia’s fathers best friend and right hand man. They have been friends since they were fourteen and worked together right from the moment Alejandro started to take over the family business. They are renowned for their close bond and their ruthlessness when they work together to bring down the enemies of the Montoya Corporation. Jax knows that being a relationship with his best friends daughter is practically signing his death warrant - but as much as he’s tried to walk away from how he feels about Lucia and her son, he can’t deny that he loves them. And he’s willing to risk everything to be with them.

Right from book 1, I’ve loved Jax. He’s got that loving and caring nature to him that is evident in his loyalty to his best friend but also in the way he treats Lucia and Matthias. He worships the ground she walks on but also knows her well enough to know how to keep her in line. And the way he is with her son is so heartwarming. I so wanted them to work everything out because they make such a cute little family but the sticking point was always going to be Alejandro.

Even though Lucia isn’t his biological daughter (she’s actually his niece as his Uncle was her biological dad - long story… read books 1 & 2) Alejandro treats Lucia as though she is his own blood. He’s fiercely possessive… but then so is Jax. So as you can imagine, that struggle for dominance over Lucia’s heart is always going to be difficult. Jax and Lucia know their love is going to hurt Alejandro but they can’t help how they feel.

For Alejandro, this is an act of betrayal from his best friend, his brother in all but blood… and instead of thinking of all the ways in which having his right hand man protecting his daughter and grandson with his love, he sees their union as a direct hit to his loyalty towards their friendship.

It’s only when Lucia’s life is put in danger meaning that Alejandro and Jax must once again work together that Alejandro begins to accept that Jax truly loves his daughter. He may not exactly like it, but what better man could he choose to love Lucia than the man he loves deeply too. Will Alejandro be able to put aside his feelings for the sake of his daughter’s happiness? Will he ever be able to forgive his friend for falling in love with the one woman that should have been off limits?

Fantastic story and I hope that we get to find out more about what happens to Lucia and Jax in book 4 as I really hope that they get the happiness they deserve… and her fathers approval.

Another brilliant book by Kincaid. I always knew Jax would be a demon between the sheets but holy moly… he’s a certified sex god. Very similar to Alejandro he has that darkly delicious streak that makes your insides melt like butter but there’s also a tenderness that makes you warm and fuzzy too. Both sides of him are equally amazing. If I had one wish, I’d have liked more scenes at the ranch because it showed Jax in a different light. He wasn’t the broodingly gorgeous but deadly assassin… he was the devastatingly handsome wholesome cowboy and I wanted more of that side of him.

Excellent read. Immersive, compelling and yet another page-turner from beginning to end.

3.5* good if you like lots of sex & violence

I like the character of Lucia & had read books 1 & 2 first. Bit odd that she now calls Alana & Alejandro mom & dad even though Alana is only about 8 years older than her!
Quite like Jax but he seriously has slept with a lot of people and I can see why Lucia wouldn't want to move into his house.
It always concerns me when characters who have had any kind of abusive background are in relationships with dominant partners who like rough sex but don't discuss boundaries or gain full consent beforehand. After 1 encounter Jax does realise if he'd had full information he would have handled it differently...
Liked Jax's relationship with Lucia's son and enjoyed their trip to the ranch in Texas.
Story seemed complete so not sure what to expect in book 4, which is released at the end of this month.

Hot!

Jax Decker and Lucia Montoya are 😍. She is a strong, fierce mafia princess and knows who she wants. He is a natural protector and her father's best friend. When they come together it is all 🔥🔥🔥. Jax is dominant and Lucia knows how to press his buttons and the spice is perfection. There is so much more to the story though, we get to find out more about their history, how close they have become, how Jax finally sees Lucia and realizes his feelings. There is someone out to get Lucia, will Jax and Alex be able to save her? And can Alex forgive his best friend? We get to see Alex and Alana Montoya again in this book, which is great (we also get a small cameo from Shane and Jessie, from The Ryan brothers!) Sadie writes brilliant, hot mafia romance and this is no exception.

So worth the wait!

As soon as Sadie announced this book I was eagerly waiting and it did not disappoint.

Lucia and Jax’s story was a perfect blend of heat, spice, anticipation and everything else in between.

I adored how Jax fought for Lucia no matter what obstacles were in his way - I think this made Jax even hotter. Wow. What a man!

The phone scene did make me chuckle!

And Lucia’s growth and fierce nature was one I wasn’t expecting at all. She is a force to be reckoned with.

This book was utter perfection. It was the perfect cocktail of depth, spice and emotion.

So worth the wait!

After discovering Sadie on TikTok around 6 months ago, I have devoured every single one of her books and have been left waiting in great anticipation for the next installment. You will not be disappointed by Fierce Betrayal, trust me! This book delivers on all fronts; fabulous storyline (with well-timed nods to the rest of the characters from the LA series but without distracting from Jax and Lucia's story) a strong female and hotter than hell guy and ALL the spice you'd expect from this age gap/forbidden love story.
This took me less than a day to read as I couldn't put it down!!! Can't wait for the next one
